Chapter 22: Deep words pt.1

Ok now…I just finished doing Chapter 21 two days ago and now I'm already doing Chapter 22…wow I'm quick. Well DOMO ARIGATO for all the reviews I got! I was sooo happy even if it was six but I still love them all… Thank you PPLZ! Love ya all!


The air was so thick it felt like you were able to cute with a butter knife. Kagome stared at him…just wanting to know the answer. What should he tell her? Yes? No? Maybe? He already knew the answer but it wouldn't come out of him. It wanted to eat his soul as he stared at his mate.

"Kagome…" He started.

Kagome walked closer to him. What was taking him so long to answer? Did he really ask Kikyo to become his mate? Was that why he was taking so long…he didn't want to hurt her like he was right now?

"Inuyasha…please…" Tears were stinging her eyes, turning her vision blurry. She felt caught up…she didn't know in what but she felt it. She wanted to escape this…her heart felt heavy even if the answer didn't come out…yet.

Inuyasha sighed. A sigh from deep within his heart. "Kagome…I-I just-"

"What Inuyasha?" Kagome tried to force out of him. She looked at the ground and tears fell out of her auburn eyes. This was hurting too much. She looked back at him with weary eyes. "You did ask her didn't you?"

He looked away, not wanting to see her face…her quivering lip. "Hai…"

How much it hurted. Her heart was squeezing around her body…choking the life out of her. He breath caught in her throat, she couldn't breathe…wasn't able too, not wanting too. She just wanted to die. Wanted to leave this world…to leave him.

"IITAI!" Kagome yelled and ran from the sight.

Inuyasha looked to where she was and found her,

Gone.

His own eyes started to blurry his vision. He felt something hot and wet fall to his cheek. He brushed it away with his hand and soon found out he was crying. He lost her…lost Kagome. No he just…couldn't bear the thought of that. No he wouldn't let her go like he did with…No! It's all HER fault! Damn that Kikyo…Damn that dead Bitch. She had caused Miroku and Sango the same pain that was happening between himself and Kagome.

"Ka-Kagome…" He sniffed out between choking sobs. He looked back up his eyes haunting. "I won't let you go."

He ran towards he scent. Her scent that was now mixed with Cherry Blossoms and wet salty tears. He felt her pain in his heart…he wanted to ease that pain. He would have to explain to her…Him and Kikyo were never mates though. He had to tell her that Kikyo did in fact fall in love with someone else. The same way he had fallen in love with someone else,

Kagome.

He ran faster and faster until he say her green skirt flying behind her…swaying. He heard her choking and she fell strait on her hands and knees.

He ran strait in front of her, bent down until he was on his knees and grabbed her shoulders. "K-Kagome" He whispered through his own tears.

Her face jolted up to his and she cried even more. She brought up and hands to her eye level and saw them bleeding. "This…this!" She showed him her hands. She then pressed them to her heart. "I'm in soo much pain…"

He quickly wrapped his arms around her shoulders. He felt her try to escape him. He couldn't let her go. He wouldn't do the same mistake as Miroku. No he loved her too much.

Kagome started punching his chest. She didn't want the arms that had held Kikyo in a loving embrace. She needed to escape him. Escape…was the only way out.

After a while he felt Kagome slow down her beatings against his chest. She then gave in and rested her forehead against his chest. She was so tired. "Kagome…please let me explain…"

"Was is there to explain Inuyasha?" She had finally stopped crying but her chokes were still there. She looked up at him and noticed his tear stained face. "You-you were…"

He nodded briefly and chuckled. "I'm as hurt as you are…I'm hurting for ever hurting you…my Kagome. I never meant to tell you…but I guess all secrets come out…"

She rested her head on his shoulder and let him rock her back and forth, cooing her in the process. She felt tired and weak and the only person that was ever able to comfort her had also broken her…and yet here he was comforting her.

"I'm not with Kikyo, Kagome." His voice sounded rough.

She looked up and him not understanding what he was saying. Everything he said had came out clearly but yet his words seemed blurry to her, foreign.

He looked down at her and gave her a weak smile. "I'm with you…"

Her heart felt heavy, it was like the weight of the world was on her shoulders and it wouldn't remove itself. She knew he had loved Kikyo but he had mated with her…he made love to her…NOT Kikyo. That woman had caused everyone so much pain…she had hurt Sango and Miroku…breaking up their relationship. She knew Sango and Miroku still loved each other deeply but yet were now too scared to admit it.

"But yet…you still asked Kikyo to-to b-be your m-mate." She choked out. She found it hard to be talking about this, so hard.

Inuyasha hugged her tighter. "Even if you don't want to be with me Kagome." He sighed at the thought. "I will always love you…always."

He heard muffled sobs and looked down at Kagome who was crying in his haori. "Inu-yasha…" He muffled out. She looked up at him through her tears. "Do you mean that?"

He closed his eyes and breathed in her sweet scent. He re-opened them and looked down at her. He took his finger and tucked it under her chin and lifted her chin up so that she could look at him better. He slowly leaned closer to her until her lips were slightly touching his. "I love you…" He breathed out and kissed her fully.

Kagome quickly snaked her arms around his neck and pulled him closer to her. She just wanted to be with him…for him to hold her and love her. His tongue taster her lips until she let hers meet his. Their tongues caressed each other's…exploring each other's mouths. This was by far the best kiss she had ever received.

Inuyasha gently pulled away and looked down at her lips to find them swollen by his kisses. He loved her so much…never wanting to let her go. Slowly he stood up, taking her bloody hands into his and lifting her up.

He looked at her hands and brought them up to his face. He licked away he blood on one hand and went to the other.

Kagome looked at him in awe. He was beautiful to her eyes. He looked back up at her and smiled…that smile that just made her knees feel weak, which made her melt into his arms.

"Come on now…"He said grabbing a hold to her hand. "Now its Sango's and Miroku's turn to deal with their problems."

Kagome nodded and followed. He had told her that he loved her…that he always would, but she realized she never told him. "Inuyasha?"

He turned around and looked at her.

"I love you too." She smiled.

He nodded swiftly. "I know Kagome…I know."


For some people that don't know Iitai means "No" in Japanese. There's Iie that means "No" also but Iitai is when your in pain.
