Disclaimer: I do not own anything of Inuyasha......except this fanfic!!

::last time::

I tried to take this all in but is this just a dream? It couldn't be real. I mean Inuyasha is here with me and without Kikyo in the picture. Does he actually love me? Or is it something that he HAD to say to make me stay...or even worse break my heart again...I couldn't take it anymore. There are so many questions to be answered. What if I'm not good enough for him? I mean he has been saying stuff like: Hey wench ! Kikyo would be more help if she was here. Is it actually my destiny to be with Inuyasha? Or is it Kikyo's?

::Chapter 2::

Hmm... it has been at least a week since that dreadful day that I had wanted to die. To die because to get away from everything. Everything that brought me depression and sadness. But now as I look at him he acts like as if nothing had happened at all. Was it actually real though? He said he loved me and yet he just lays there looking as if he doesn't care. And what about Kikyo? I know that by today or tomorrow our souls would have to come together again as one and one of us has to leave this world. It's been a year since that day...that day when Kikyo was resurrected back from the dead.

::Flashback::

I was in a tub like thing filled in with green goopy water. I was tied up around my wrist. As I lay there the witch I think was named Urasue came up to me. I think she had said something but I was too weak to hear anything. As I stare at her, I could feel like my life was seeping out of my body. It felt as if my soul is being taken away from me. I wonder what is happening to me. Am I losing blood? No. My question was answered when I saw a light. A light that surrounded my body. I can feel myself lifting from the earth er... tub.

The next thing I knew I had heard Inuyasha call Kikyo's name. But something inside of me told him not to...it wasn't my voice though..it was an older woman's voice. Is it Kikyo's? No it can't be, she's supposed to be dead. Arrgg.... I'm so tired I just want to rest for a bit. I drifted off to a deep slumber but before doing so I had heard Shippo's calls.

After what seemed like a long rest, I felt my body give a jolt. I opened my eyes to see what was going on and all I saw was light. That light was shooting through my body and it seemed like it was giving me back my energy. I had woken up fully now and what I saw had hurt me a little. Seeing Inuyasha run after her. I had known that he still loved her even though he had put up his 'act'. ( I'm making it up as I go )

It has been one hour and he still isn't back. I would go after him right now if 1) I wasn't dizzy and 2) If I do follow him I might see something I didn't want to see. As I look ahead I see a red figure coming our way. For a second I thought it was a demon but it was Inuyasha. He was walking steadily until he stumbled and fell. I had put aside my dizziness and went to help him.

::End Flashback::

From that day on everything has changed I guess with Kikyo being around. But two days after that he couldn't even look me in the eye. I wish that I never felt this feeling towards him. I mean why did it had to be him the arrogant, selfish, mean, overprotective guy? Couldn't it have been Hojo or something? My heart wouldn't listen to my mind. When I'm with another guy I always think of him... Sometimes I think why did I fall in love with a guy that is already taken... Maybe because I might have a chance with him because he has a lover that is dead?

I was out of la-la land when a soft fluffy thing jumped into my lap. I knew instantly who it was. It was Shippo running away from Inuyasha who is trying to kill him for doing something. 3 , 2 , 1

" Shippo come back here! Give me back that pres....that item you took from me! "

What was Inuyasha about to say? He stopped his sentence when he saw me... I wonder why? Oh well I know it isn't for me anyways. But sill Shippo should give it back to him.

" Shippo give it back to him. You shouldn't take things that don't belong to you " I say

" But Kagome he wouldn't tell me what it is "

" Shippo it is none of your business now is it? "

He shook his head and gave it back to Inuyasha. I looked at him and all I saw was a relief washed over him. I wonder why? Shippo had taken off and that meant he left me alone with Inuyasha. He had pocketed( is this a word??) the item and stepped towards me. I give him a warm smile and patted the grass next to me. He came and sat down. There was an awkward silence between us. Finally at least someone spoke up.

" Kagome, we need to talk " I looked up and urged him to go on. " Kagome, that night a week ago when Kikyo came I went to her to say...to say that she needs to move on and that we weren't meant for eachother. Meaning she was meant to be...dead and I was to find another person to trust and rely on. And especially to love and care for. I had to move on and find one person to love and cherish...and to be a mate to that person." there was a short pause , " I went to see her to say good-bye...and that she should rest in peace... last night I went to see her again..."

:: Flashback:: (Narrater POV)

Inuyasha was resting in his usual spot in the Goshinkobu tree. He was about to close his eyes to rest when he saw one of the soul catchers. ' It has to be Kikyo's soul catcher ' he thought ' I have to go see her and tell her my decision that I have made.' With that thought he jumped off the tree and followed the soul catcher. He had ran for about half and hour until he reached her. At the sight of her, he had halted to a stop. There she stood in the middle of the grassy forest with her hair down up to her hips. She had her bow in hand but it was not raised as to shoot him. He took a step towards her and saw that she ran to him to embrace him never to let go.

" Kikyo..."

"Inuyasha will you go to hell with me?"

" Kikyo I can't I have already chosen who I want to be with.." he said while pushing her lightly away

" Inuyasha, you have chosen her haven't you? My reincarnation."

" Good-bye Kikyo... rest in peace" Inuyasha said while stepping back and slashing her with his claws. Kikyo had been turned into dust and it seemed that she had blown away in the wind but she just landed on the grass like a pile of dust. By then Inuyasha had walked away going back to the village.

A moment after an ominous figure approached Kikyo's dust and mage her body into a living thing once again. After the figure had done its task, it had disappeared into the night.

" (laughs) Don't worry my reincarnation I will get my revenge for seeing you had taken away what rightfully belongs to me. When that day comes you will be sorry for ever crossing to this world..."

::End Flashback::

" So I think that pretty sums up where I went yesterday." he looked down at his lap ashamed that he had ' killed ' her and yet he is happy for that he has found the one that he was meant to be with.

" Inuyasha?" he lifted his gaze to meet warm blue orbs. " Thank you."

" What for?"

" For letting me be the person...the person to help you through life."

Inuyasha couldn't help but hug her then. At first she was stiff but then relaxed and hugged back. They stayed there for awhile in eachothers arms never wanting to let go. Kagome then fell asleep and Inuyasha didn't want to disturb her so he carried her bridal style and leaned back against the tree trunk to let sleep take over him. When sleep came a familiar figure came and hovered over Inuyasha and Kagome. The figure then took Kagome but before doing so sprinkled sleeping powder onto our hanyou's face as to let him breathe it in. The figure then left.

"Inuyasha you will regret to ever fallen in love with this pathetic human."
