Chapter 11-The Only Thing I can Do

Kagome brushed the deep blue tears from her eyes. They were bright red from crying for such a long while. She felt that nothing—nothing could make her smile once again. That was, unless, the one she loved, told her that he loved her. The warm fuzzy feeling that she would feel if that happened, but inside, she was cold. Kagome craved the warmth of Inuyasha's arms wrapped around her, keeping her away from the rapid bolts of rain that dropped out of the endless sky. Why, why did she have to feel so?

"Kagome… Kagome…! Kagome!" the voice in her head began to echo louder and louder each time it spoke her name. "Kagome!"

"What do you want!" she cried, as the sobs became moans of sadness. Water stained Kagome's whole body making her cold and even colder as the wind chill passed by. She opened her chestnut brown eyes searching for the person who had spoken to her. No one was there. As another wind chill passed by, the trees rustled through the tapping noises of the rain. "Where are you?" she called out again trying to find the voice.

"I am the light side of you," the voice replied gently in a soft tone of voice, "the dark side of you has taken over. Kagome, has the one you loved broken your heart?"

"Y-yes… how did you know?" she questioned her light side.

The light side of Kagome ignored the question and asked her, "Have you considered what Inuyasha might have felt after what you said to him?"

-Flashback-

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, 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!"

-End of Flashback-

Kagome remembered the horrified look on Inuyasha's face when she said those cruel words. It crumpled like a piece of paper someone ruffled up and threw in the garbage. Did Inuyasha really mean to say that? Did he deserve the words she said to him after what he said to her? She hadn't considered how Inuyasha felt. She was so caught up in her own bad feelings; she didn't take a second to think about how Inuyasha felt about the whole thing. …Maybe he was just lying…

Kagome Higurashi, the fourteen-year-old wench whom was also shallow, inconsiderate—and self-centered.

"Inuyasha…" Kagome murmured as she dozed off into a freezing slumber.

Inuyasha slowly limped back to Kaede's house. Blood dripped from his kimono as he had fought for his life earlier. His thoughts were only aimed on Kagome, the one who used to trust him, the one that used to believe in him, the one that used to love him… Inuyasha honestly didn't think Kagome would have the heart to say something so cruel to him. He always knew her as the kind, sweet-hearted girl.

He walked another step then tripped over a rock. The words in his head echoed once again and wounded him even more.

"D-damn...it…" he cursed weakly.

Kagome woke up when something sharp struck her arm. The rain still fell as she opened her eyes to see nothing had changed. She stood up carefully and walked around looking for Inuyasha. She needed to see him, she needed to hold him, and she needed to love him.

Inuyasha had blacked-out an hour ago. He lay on the blades of grass under the darkened sky while the rain tapped on his back.

"Inuyasha…? Inuyasha? Inuyasha!" Someone was calling him.

Inuyasha opened his amber eyes. The sight he had was blurry, but his eyes started to adjust to the picture in front of him. Chestnut brown eyes, dark, long hair, the perfect face, odd clothing…

"K-Kagome?" Inuyasha asked as the picture in his eyes sharpened.

"Yes, Inuyasha! It's me…" she answered lifting Inuyasha's head into her lap. Kagome stroked Inuyasha head with her hand.

Inuyasha's eyes turned to her arm. "Kagome…what happened to your arm?"

Suddenly she remembered the piercing hit in her arm that woke her from the sleep she was in. Kagome to a peek at her arm herself and saw her shirt soaked with red blood and rain while she could see the blood leaking down her hand. Inuyasha sat up ignoring the wounds he had from his fight. Kagome sobbed as she watched the blood leak down from her arm making a streak of red. He pulled her to his chest holding her in his arms. Kagome's sobbing slowly came to a halt. She wanted to stay like this forever. The one she loved holding her, protecting her from the cold outside. She looked up at Inuyasha's face.

"I-Inuyasha… Why are you doing this?" she asked still bundled up under his care.

"Kagome, it's the only thing I can do, after what I've done to you," he told her softly.

She gazed into his eyes trying to see what was really in his thawed heart. There was love inside him, a lot of love. Inuyasha was just too afraid to really show it. Kagome reached up a little and gave him a touch of her lips on his.

"W-w-what was that for…?" he asked puzzled.

"Inuyasha, it's the only thing I can do, after what I've done to you," she told him softly.

Silence emerged after what she said. Inuyasha stared at her then darted into a hug. His head was near her ear.

He whispered to her. "Kagome Higurashi, I lied, you're everything to me… you're the world to me…I love you…"
