Summary: What lies within your heart is something strong as the emotion called Love. It is trust. "Do you trust me?" A ragged voice came behind as a single tear ran down a face and disappeared into the breeze of the cliff. (IK -- lime, romance, danger, drama, love, trust)

Trust
Chapter 3 -- Confession
Sango and Miroku waited all day for Inuyasha to return. Both wanted to know why Kagome ran off like that. They were also hoping that he would return with her. With her return, there might be a slight change everything could be explained.
Inuyasha jumped out of the well and headed back to the group. She didn't want to be around him or at least that is what it seemed to be. All he wanted to do was find why she was mad at him. It couldn't be bacause of that night. Nothing happen. He thought that showing Kagome the scar on his stomach would prove it, but he guess that was the wrong idea.
Miroku and Sango were sitting near the hut when they noticed Inuyasha returning. Shippo, who was playing with Kirara, noticed him and ran straight towards Inuyasha asking for Kagome. "Kagome stayed in her time." said Inuyasha before walking inside.
Miroku and Sango looked at each other and then headed in. Inuyasha was leaning against the wall looking down. His eyes were different from any other time that both Miroku and Sango have seen. "What happen." asked Sango before sitting down across from him. Miroku did the same, but never said a word.
"I don't know. She was just mad at me. I tried to talk, but she wouldn't allow me. Anymore, I don't care." yelled Inuyasha. He was tired of this. Kagome should be here. She shouldn't be mad. Inuyasha gripped his hand tightly before pounding his fist upon the ground.
Inuyasha sat there filled with anger as he watched Miroku and Sango whisper to each other. It was driving him crazy. With this all happening, he did the best thing. Inuyasha stood up and ran out of the room. Jumping up into a tree, he sat trying to get everything that happen out of his mind.
Kagome was sitting on her bed. A few tears dropped from her chin and landed on her leg. She felt horrible on whas she did. He only came for he was concerned. He wasn't mad. Just wanting to make sure she was safe.
Kagome shook her head. She felt angry with him. He thinks it's all okay just because he dragged her into the forest. How could she forget that night. All she could know is that he is lying to just cover him and Kikyou up. The images of that night flashed by as she laid her head down on her pillow.
---FLASHBACK---
The moon was just starting to appear over the horizon. Inuyasha was sitting in a tree once again and Kagome was looking up at him. Koga was just over and Inuyasha was sat about three times just to prevent trouble. He occasionally looked down at Kagome. Her eyes showed symphony to him, but he wasn't going to allow it.
Kagome finally gave up for the evening and went inside by Miroku and Sango. Inuyasha, however, stayed outside.
Kagome couldn't understand why he was mad at her. If she allowed him to continue on what he wanted, Inuyasha most likely would have been hurt by Koga and she just couldn't allow it.
Inuyasha sat there lost in thought thinking about everything. He was only protecting Kagome from him because he liked her. Inuyasha had a hard time dealing with it, but it was true. He cared for Kagome a lot.
Inuyasha continued to be lost in thought when he noticed Kikyou's soul collectors drifting by. Losing what he was thinking about, he grabbed his sword and started heading into the forest.
Kagome was just coming back outside wanting to know if Inuyasha wanted something to eat when she noticed him running off. Slipping away unnoticed, she followed Inuyasha into the forest.
Inuyasha continued to walk into the forest not know who was following. When he arrived to where all of the soul collectores, he could only say one word. "Kikyou..."
Kikyou was there. Sitting in a tree sleeping or at least that is what it looked like. She woke when Inuyasha approached and stepped on a twig. A cold glare came from her eyes as she looked down at him. "Inuyasha, what are you doing here?" she asked.
"Came to ask the same. You usually don't come unless you have a reason." Inuyasha stopped only a short distance away from the tree.
"I only came to rest. There is a village not far that I am planning to stay at. It happens to be only place I could rest." Kikyou was no on the ground when Inuyasha approached.
"At least you found a place to stay."
"For now." replied Kikyou.
"Kikyou, I am actually glad that I met up with you." stated Inuyasha stopping Kikyou from leaving.
"What are you meaning by that?" she asked turning around to face him.
"I am tired of this. It's been over fifty years since you died and I was pinned to the Sacred Tree. There is another in my life and well, this is good-bye." Inuyasha felt a little more free from saying that. He cared about Kagome more than Kikyou. Saying good-bye will give him a chance with her.
"You're crazy. She's a modern girl from a different time." Kikyou was now standing in front on Inuyasha. One of her hands were resting against his face as he looked away.
"I am sorry." With that, Inuyasha turned around to leave. However, a youkai jumped out. Inuyasha was only suprised and got a slashed across the stomach by the point on the tail.
Kikyou wasn't paying attention either when the youkai came by. It jumped pinning her down. Her sleeves were ripped and her chest a huge mark upon it. Inuyasha quickly pulled out his sword. It took a couple of times, but he finally killed the demon with his Wind Scar.
Pressing his hand against his wound, he noticed that the blood had not stopped running. The wound was too deep and he was a little distance from the hut. Looking up, he noticed Kikyou still lying on the ground. He crawled up only to see her unconscience. The wound across her chest was doing the same. The blood kept flowing seeming that it would not quit.
Inuyasha looked around for anything that could help. He remembered his white undershirt. Ripping it off along with Kikyou's sleeve which were ripped also, he did the best he could of dressing both his and her wounds.
Kagome continued to follow till a small clearing came. As she looked around, Kagome saw a heart broken scene. Kikyou was sitting up with the top of her shirt missing. In front of her was Inuyasha. His red haori or white undershirt weren't on him. Kikyou's hands were gripping Inuyasha's arms while his hands were no where in sight. They seemed to be resting around Kikyou.
Kagome hid behind a tree as tears ran down her face. She slid against the trunk of the tree and dropped to her knees. She was waiting. Hoping that Inuyasha would leave.
It seemed like minutes as she waited, but soon the sound of leaves went by. Inuyasha stood there putting his red haori on as Kikyou walked off. Kagome didn't know if anyone was there and took her chance to leave. Inuyasha heard the movement of leaves. Turning around, he noticed Kagome looking towards him frighten.
Kagome thought he had left. She was hoping to return alone. If he didn't leave, then how long was he standing there. Tears were still flowing down her face. She felt hurt. The feeling wa breaking her apart. Inuyasha tried walking to her. He wanted to calm her down. Explain everything that happen. However, as he took just one step, Kagome turned around and ran. Inuyasha knew only to well. She saw him with Kikyou, but in the wrong way.
Kagome quickly ran back to the hut. Ignoring everyone, she grabbed her bag and headed to the well hoping to never come back and face the pain again.
---END FLASHBACK----
Tears were rolling down Kagome's face as she sat there still laying on her bed. She missed him a lot. She wanted to be near him, but the pain was what she did not want. The aching feeling started to roam her body forming more tears down her cheeks. It wasn't the pain he created, but what she created. Kagome was mean to Inuyasha. He only came to see how she was. He was only concerned. If Kagome did return, how could he forgive her.
Kagome stood up from her bed. If he cared that much for her, then she had to trust in everything that he would except her back. Inuyasha probably realized everything and that is why he was trying to make her see what need to be seen. If he could do that, then she could except everything.
Inuyasha continued to sit in the tree clear to evening. Saying good-byye was hard fro him, however, what was he suppose to do. Forget about her? How can he? Lost in thought, he went over everything that happen.
Kagome quickly gathered all her things. When her bag was full, she headed to well. Dropping her bag, she jumped in only to reappear back in time.
