Chapter 8

I'm Sorry

Kagome felt dirty.

Like she hadn't bathed in months. It was a sickening feeling, and she hated herself for it; hated herself for what she did. What...they did.

Oh God, why had she given in; Why had he made her give in?

It wasn't fair. Not to her, not to him...or Inuyasha.

'Inuyasha...'

The name held so much more meaning now. And she had so many urges to just take it all back.

She didn't love Miroku. She loved Inuyasha, that damn stubborn half-demon. The man who wanted Kikyo over her; Who brought her so much pain and heartache.

Miroku couldn't be the one to make her happy. She didn't know why he couldn't, but she was damn sure that she felt it was true.

Deep down somewhere, she felt it was true.

God, how she wanted it to be true.

"Kagome..." She closed her eyes. She didn't want to listen to him...because she had to be right in her decisions. She had to be...

"Please don't tell Inuyasha..." Her voice was so cold and filled to the brim with fear.

"Kagome--but I..." He sounded so hurt. God, how she hated herself at the moment.

"Please, Miroku..." she pleaded, hoping that she didn't sound as desperate as she felt.

He nodded, and she felt the pain well up inside her.

He had agreed, but she still felt empty.


"Dammit, Kouga! If you love Kagome so much, then take me back and kidnap her!"

"Well, aren't we loyal?"

"Well, seeing you get your ass kicked by Inuyasha sounds pretty good right now!"

"You little wench! If my woman didn't like you so much I'd--"

"You'd what, you smelly no good son of a--"

Ginta sighed, trying his best to ignore the arguing pair at the other end of the cave. They were beginning to get annoying, almost to the point where he was tempted to just give the demon slayer woman back to Kagome and her friends. Even if it was against Kouga's orders.

Why she was there to begin with, Ginta didn't know. He honestly wouldn't have cared either, but to be frank that woman could be scary as hell. Especially when it was his duty to feed her.

He inwardly shivered. Oh man, was she terrifying when he gave her that deer leg. How in the heck was he supposed to know that humans liked there meat cooked? And she didn't have to throw it at him, whilst calling him horribly unmentionable names!

What did he do, anyway? It wasn't like he was the one who kidnapped her.

"You are the most vile woman that I have ever met!"

"Well then, no wonder you're so pissed off all the time!"

"And what in the hell is that supposed to mean!"

"I guess that explains why you try so hard to get Kagome's affections, you damn pervert!"

"What in the hell are you talking about, woman!"

"I have a name, you damn ugly fool!"

Now, Ginta was never really one to speak out against his superiors orders or anything, but seriously...THEY NEEDED TO SHUT UP!

Yep, that's why the damned woman had to go...and since Kouga wanted to keep her here in order to lure Inuyasha to come...he had to take things into his own hands. He'd be the one to...um...get someone else to bring the woman back to her friends. Someone like...

"Are they still at it?" Asked a voice from the far corner of the cave.

Ginta blinked, then smirked, "Oh, yes...quite annoying aren't they, Hakkaku?"


Author's Note:

Jynxie: I really didn't know where I was going with this chapter so I just ended it there.

Muse: Well, aren't we heartless?

Jynxie: (hisses at Muse)

Muse: Well, now that's mature.

Jynxie: Eh...(turns to viewers) And don't worry folks. Kagome will come to her senses...she's just...well, she's a woman...and they get...emotional...and pissed off at everything. It's just instinct. But still R&R and I promise a long, long chapter filled to the brim with fluffy-ness!

Muse: Who in the hell developes your punch lines, woman?

Jynxie: Um...you?

Muse: (eyes widen) Crap...walked right into that one...
