Chapter 10- Confession of Love

It was the last day of the ninth month since they found their stones. Inuyasha seemed to be uneasy with Kagome around nowadays. If she were near, he'd always seem to keep his distance. What went wrong? Kagome also seemed uncomfortable with Inuyasha around. She tended to try and get over it by nearing him, but he always moved away and then she wouldn't be able to go close to him. Miroku and Sango also wondered why Shippo's stone had broken that day Inuyasha and Kagome weren't seen (It was the part where they were in the bushes.). They finally decided to ask, rather than to just sulk in a corner cursing him because he had gotten his stone broken so easily.

"Um… excuse me Shippo, but may I ask how your stone broke?" Miroku questioned.

"My stone broke? OH YEAH!" Shippo shouted out as he remembered. Then, he spoke as if he were telling an ancient story. "I had a dream, that there was a terrible ferocious demon in front of me, trying to kill me. It gave me a terrible wound from one sweep of his claw! My face—where my wound was, bled and bled, and it gushed out quickly. It hurt like Inuyasha killing you with his claws. Then, as-"

Sango cut him off by something surprising of what Shippo said. "Wait a minute, how did your wound hurt so bad if you were dreaming?"

Suddenly, Miroku sheepishly laughed. "Um… I think that was probably when I stepped on his face…"

Sango rolled her eyes and then gestured for Shippo to go on with his story. He nodded and soon started to continue.

"Oh how afraid I was! I knew I couldn't hide behind anyone this time. I couldn't, couldn't at all. I yelped for help in every direction, but no one could hear me. This time, all I could do was watch as the demon came closer and closer to me! I ran, but there was nowhere to go. It is the end for me, I thought. Everything that I thought about, gave me the shivers. But then, a little voice came to me and said, "Dieing, is just a part of life my friend…" I knew he was right, but then I realized it didn't have to be over! I could stand up, and try to kill the demon myself or even die trying and die with pride. It was the right thing, and I did it!"

"You destroyed that demon?" Miroku asked in amazement.

"No…" Shippo answered scratching his head. "I got killed, but at least I died with pride there…"

Miroku and Sango sweat dropped in stupidity. She suddenly saw a hand nearing her. Alert, her eyes slightly closed.

"Miroku," Sango said warningly.

"Uh… yes my dear Sango?" Miroku replied nervously.

"Don't dare," she told him.

"Um… Okay, but what are you talking about?" he asked pretending that he didn't know what Sango was talking about.

Shippo turned around to look out towards the place Inuyasha and Kagome were when they'd heard Sango and Miroku. BING! A loud noise was heard from behind. He turned back around. There, lay Miroku on the floor, unconscious with Sango beside him with a nerve popping out of her head holding her Hirigotsu.

"It's always the same…" Shippo said shaking his head.

"Inuyasha! Inuyasha!" Kagome called as she walked through the forest. She finally spotted him just about twenty meters away.

She knew he would run if he saw her, so Kagome walked as silently, because he had such good hearing, and as quickly as possible. Now, only a couple of meters away from the back of Inuyasha's head, there came a SQUEAK! Kagome stopped in her tracks. Great. That noise would make Inuyasha see her and he'd run away. Inuyasha turned and saw Kagome stand right near him.

When he was about to run, Kagome shouted, "Wait!"

He stopped. "W-what is it Kagome?"

"I need to talk to you," she replied.

"I-I guess that's okay…" he stuttered.

Kagome sat down next to Inuyasha and sighed dreamily. What could she say next? Getting this out of her system was necessary, very necessary.

"Inuyasha-" she started.

"AIR!" someone screamed.

"Wait a sec," he said. "Can you hand me that big rock over there?"

He pointed at a huge Kagome was sitting against.

"Inuyasha! I can't lift that!" Kagome told him.

"Alright, alright already!" Inuyasha pounced over to the rock and pulled it up. He lifted it over his head and walked over to a bush. Inuyasha gave the bush a sniff. 'Hmm…' he thought, 'on the left, Miroku, in the middle, Shippo, on the right, Sango. I don't want to hurt Sango, because she's a girl, Shippo's annoying, but I'll give him a break. Miroku, is probably causing them both trouble considering how perverted he is… Uh… then it's settled. Miroku!'

Inuyasha dropped the rock on the left side of the bush. It crashed down making a very loud noise when it hit the ground—I mean, broke all of Miroku's bones. Sango and Shippo decided to leave the monk there and make a run for it. Sango knew that there was no use trying to pry Miroku out from under that huge rock. 'Sorry Miroku!' she thought.

With Sango and Shippo gone, all Inuyasha had to do was throw away Miroku. And that's what he did. Inuyasha dug a small hole big enough for Miroku's body, threw him in, piled dirt up to cover his whole body, and stuffed some grass into Miroku's ears. Then Inuyasha walked back carelessly over to Kagome again a sat next to her.

"Okay, sorry that took so long! Go on now," he told her.

"YOU EXPECT ME TO WATCH YOU DO ALL THAT RECKLESS STUFF AND THEN TALK TO YOU NORMALLY AGAIN? WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU THINKING?" she screamed and then quickly covered her mouth. Kagome was devastated. She had cursed! NEVER had she cursed to anyone, and to make things worse, she'd done it to Inuyasha.

Inuyasha thought nothing of it though. He was surprisingly calm. He just stared and stared and stared and stared and stared and stared and stared and stared and stared and stared at her. Kagome glared at him.

"What are you looking at mister?" she asked angrily. "Aren't you even mad I actually swore at you?"

"So? What of it?" Inuyasha replied sounding very laid back.

This time she was the one to stare, stare blankly at Inuyasha for minutes and minutes and minutes.

"What did you want to tell me?" Inuyasha questioned her getting impatient.

"Oh!" said Kagome remembering what she'd come there for. "Well, Inuyasha… I've been thinking about you a lot and… well… I've come to the conclusion why!"

"What is it?" Inuyasha asked her curiously. He was so stupid.

"I think I'm in love with you…"

He stared at her blankly. "I LOVE YOU TOO!" he wanted to yell back, but it wasn't happening. All he could think of was that. He needed to lie.

"K-Kagome… I-I-I don't know what to… say…"

'Please say I love you back!' Kagome thought hoping. 'Please say I love you! Just those three simple words!' She knew she would burst out in tears if Inuyasha didn't say it. Kagome would be heartbroken.

Lies and other things came out of Inuyasha's mouth. "Kagome, I know you're a good person," True. "and I know you'll always be there for me," True. "but I don't know what to say!" Lie. "I'm not an idiot that you can just say something to!" Half-lie. "Kagome, I can't say what you just said back." BIG lie. "You mean nothing to me." HUGE LIE!

Kagome's heart took a direct hit. Those cold words echoed through her head. "You mean nothing to me." She held her tears back.

"O-oh… Inuyasha… I-I understand… You hate me… you hate all of us… you just use me for your own stubborn reasons!" she screamed with sobs in between.

"N-no Kagome!" Inuyasha yelled. "That's not what I mean!"

"They're right," she continued standing up, "they're all right! You are just a stupid mutt. You don't belong in this world! You are a useless half-breed! No, you are a monster!"

This time she ran. Kagome ran fast and far away. She just wanted to get away from all of this. Why did she do it? Why did she tell him? She began to cry. Tears flooded out of her eyes. It reminded her of a poem her mother told her when it was her 13th birthday.

A single teardrop from her eyes

Can tell a tale of when inside dies.

She is running away

From all her troubles and her pain.

Screaming out to let it go,

For she will not, make a foe.

Heartbroken from the one she loved,

He is not some kind of dove.

Why did he hurt this little girl?

Her heart is like a shining pearl.

Break it he did,

Ending her world as he hid.

He hid forever and then was hurled,

Right into the underworld.

The poem was exactly like her life now. Kagome was running away from the troubles she had and all the pain. Though she isn't screaming, she still is trying not to make a foe. Just because Inuyasha broke her heart, it didn't mean she had to despise him. Would Inuyasha die a lonely life and go to the underworld like the poem said? Who knew? That line came back into her head. "You mean nothing to me." Why had Inuyasha said those cruel words? There was no way of knowing unless he ever told her.

"You're so stupid Kagome!" she screamed at herself. "Of course Inuyasha wouldn't love you! Why would he? Why are y-you so stupid… Kagome…?"

Her sobs and tears started up again.

"INUYASHA YOU STUPID B-STARD!" he screamed at himself.

This wasn't at all usual. Inuyasha was actually close to tears. He was so stupid. If he hadn't lied, they both would've been happy. Instead, he did lie and they both ended up seriously hurt. Inuyasha gave a small sob. That was it, one small sob. No other emotions came, just that one sob. He couldn't stop thinking of what Kagome said about him. "You are just a stupid mutt. You don't belong in this world! You are a useless half-breed! No, you are a monster!" 'How can I ever tell her how I really feel with what I've just done?' he thought angry with himself. 'How can I ever forgive myself for what I've just done?'

Author's Note: Like that poem I made myself? Eh? For those who don't understand it, it means that the boy broke the girl's heart and hid from her because of what he did. Then, stayed forever hiding and died and was sent to H-ll. Sorry! I don't like swearing unless I really need to! Press that purple-blue button on the bottom left please and write something nice! If you do, THANKX! Ja ne-
