Chapter 4: No Hope

Inu-Yasha was sitting in the cave staring into the flickering flames of the fire that had been going all night. It was about 5:00 in the morning on the third day after Kagome left to go back home. He was so tired he was going insane, but he couldn't sleep…not now. He hadn't gotten any sleep since the young miko went back to her world. He felt so guilty. "There's no way she'll ever come back now. Not even if I go get her," he said to no one in particular.

The young hanyou couldn't blame her, either, after the way he just lashed out at her. He couldn't even remember why he was so angry with her that day. It's not like she'd done anything.

So much for never makin' the same mistake

I can't believe I'm here again.

I can't believe I'm here again

So much forever thinking I could change.

My good intentions still remain in chains.

He'd never crewed up so bad in his life, but now he was paying for his stoubourness and hotheadedness. The only other time he could ever remember feeling even quite this bad was after the same thing nearly happened with Kikyo.

Flashback

"Kikyo, why would you do that to me? You know I love you more than anything!"

"Inu-Yasha, what on earth are you talking about? I have done nothing!"

"Oh, you tell me if going off to be with that guy again is nothing!"

"What guy? You don't mean Koji do you? You know I'd never do anything with him! He's just a really good friend! I love YOU, Inu-Yasha!"

"Well, you sure have a funny way of showing it!"

"I can't believe this! And you of all the people who wouldn't trust me! Humph!" And the young miko stormed off into the morning sun.

End Flashback

Everything had turned out fine then, though. He had gone back to her a few days later and when she saw how miserable he was and agreed to stay with him as long as he used the Shikon Jewel to become human instead of a demon.

He thought he'd loved her back then, but it was nothing more than a deep friendship. He loved Kagome, however, but he'd gone and screwed it all up again. This time, knowing Kagome, she was never coming back.

She's gotta be over me now,

Probably moved on with her life,

Found someone she knows she can believe.

God, I would give anything if I could just go back again,

And be the man she needed me to be.

The hanyou sighed. He needed someone's help to get her to come back. He remembered back to the Koga incident. He'd been so full of pride then, he refused to o and get her if anyone knew, so he had to sneak back. But now he didn't care who knew. He understood what a jerk he could be and also knew what it did to Kagome when he was like this with her.

He loved her too much to let her go and forget about the feudal era while she spent her time hanging with those friends of hers who believed that he was a two-timing, jealous lunatic while she dated that Hobo guy.

As much as he didn't like to break in front of Sango, Miroku, and the others, he'd do anything to get Kagome back. Back after Koga, Shippo had talked him into asking Kaede seeing as how it was confidential, maybe he'd go ask the little kitsune to make another stupid picture book…after all, he was desperate…

I thought I was a hero,

I played him well

He saves the day, but not himself

I acted out the lover

My finest part

Had all the the lines but not the heart

Now look where we are.

"Wow, you actually want our help?"

"Can it, monk, you know how much I love her!"

"Well, I suppose we could help…"

Inu-Yasha had arrived at Sango and Miroku's hut early that morning, so since he woke them up, so they figured this must really mean a lot to him and agreed to help.

"Umm, no offence, Miroku, but I think I want to talk to Sango on this one. After all, she knows more about women than you'll ever hope to know."

"Oh, alright…SANGO!"

"What is it, Miroku?"

"Inu-Yasha wants to talk about women!"

"Alright, I'll be right there…sooo, what do you want to know about them?"

"I don't want to know ABOUT them, just what to do. I accidentally yelled at Kagome and she went home…again."

"Well, if it's 'again' then you should already know how to handle it."

"This time's different. I think I really hurt her. She'd never want to talk to me."

"Well, I still think you should at least go visit her and let her know you're sorry. If she won't talk, just come back and then we'll see."

"Ok." And the young hanyou set off for the well, still not satisfied.

She's gotta be over me now,

Probably moved on with her life,

Found someone she know she can believe.

God, I would give anything, if I could just go back again,

And be the man she needed me to be.

Kagome jumped as she heard the window in her room open. She, Eri, Yuka, and Ayumi were all sitting in a circle on the girl's bed. She had meant for only Ayumi to come since she knew they would overreact, but they followed Ayumi. She was about to tell them all her secret when…

"Kagome! Good, you're here!"

"Inu-Yasha, I thought I told you to not come and get me!"

"I know, Kagome, but listen. I really am sorry. Truthfully, I have no idea what happened. I know I hurt you, but please just give me another chance!"

Inu-Yasha, that may have worked with Kikyo all those years ago, but you know that we're complete opposites. You should no by now that when I say don't come, I MEAN don't come!"

"Ok, look, I really am sorry. My old self just kinda broke through. You know how I used to be. You still liked me back then, even when I was a jerk to you. Just please come back with me."

"You never give up, do you? I do know your old self, but that side of you had such a big head he would stay away when I told him to. You had the necklace then, and you still do. So leave now and I'll spare you from eating my carpet!"

"So you hate me now, huh? Well, I've got news for you! Kikyo is still alive, you know, and she'd welcome me back with open arms and drag me down to hell with her!"

"Well maybe you should do that! Then I could go back to the feudal era without you bugging me! I could still see Sango and the others and who knows. Maybe I will go off to Koga. He was a lot nicer to me than you'll ever be and you really seem to think we'd do so well together, remember? You thought I was seeing him! So maybe I will. Or, if you choose not to go to hell, then I can always stay here and marry Hojo! Now, which would you prefer?"

"You know what, maybe I will go back to Kikyo! And you can stay here and cry your eyes out until you decide to forgive me, but by then I'll be gone!"

"SIT!" Thud. "Now leave before I have to do it again!"

She's gotta be over me now,

Probably moved on with her life,

Found someone she know she can believe.

God, I would give anything, if I could just go back again,

And be the man she needed me to be.

She needed me to be

She needed me to be, oh,

Whoa, hallelujah,

Yeah, I could be that man she needed me, she needed me to be.
