Ch.4

Kagome walked along side Inuyasha and daydreamed. So… Sesshoumaru is gone, and we are back to the way things were. Umm sure. It actually felt he was an ally. I kind of wish he were still with us though. Kagome blushed. But then Inuyasha would always be in a really bad mood. He's always in one but… She looked up at him. Why can't you just get along, or at least be on the same side? Those two just need to get a life. I have two and even that doesn't seem good enough for anyone! Stop complaining and shutup Kagome.

Kagome looked up at the morning sky. She let out a soft sigh. Inuyasha looked down at her. "What's your problem?" Kagome met eyes with him. "Nothing…why?" Kagome asked cautiously. "You... Can't you just keep your mouth shut and tell me where the jewel shards are?" "Can't I be in a good mood? Nothing seems to ever be good enough for you! You're always pushing me away." She paused, "And when I help get the jewel shards, your always complaining! Every time I try to talk to you, you snap at me!" Inuyasha stared in shock and she immediately shut her mouth. She didn't know what had come over her.

The others heard the commotion, and ran over. "Listen Kagome. I don't want to hear it. It IS your fault for breaking the jewel, so it's your job to find the shards, and do it right!" Kagome bit her lip. "IF YOU HAVE SUCH A PROBLEM WITH ME GO FIND THE JEWEL SHARDS YOURSELF!" She broke off the chain with the jewel on it from her neck, and ran off.

"KAGOME!" Inuyasha yelled. The others stared at him. "Aren't you going to go after her?" Sango asked. There was a long pause before Inuyasha answered. "She gave us the shards," He picked the chain with the jewel on it carefully, "We'll be fine without her…" He didn't look at the group. They stared in shock as he started walking. "Kagome…" Shippo said teary eyed. They caught up with him and walked in silence.

She kept running. She didn't glance behind her. Behind the tears, she was burning with anger. I should've kept the jewel shards…now I can't go home. I know he won't come back for me. She slowed down after awhile and sat on a big rock. She hid her face in her hands and cried her heart out.

"RIN! Stop splashing me!" Jaken complained. Rin giggled and kept splashing him in the small river. She stopped and looked over at Sesshoumaru.

What is it about that miko that intrigues so? Sesshoumaru thought. Ever since he left, he had been thinking about Kagome. "Sesshoumaru!" A voice called out. He looked over to Rin. As soon as she got his attention, she continued, "Rin hears someone crying!" He stopped and looked around. The smell of salty tears came to his senses. Sesshoumaru stood up and walked to where the smell was strongest.

Kagome continued to sob, and stared out at no where. All of a sudden in the area she was looking at, out of the trees, came Sesshoumaru.

"Sesshoumaru?" He stared out at her. "Miko?" She nodded while tears kept shedding. "Why are you crying?" He asked. She shook her head.

"Inuyasha and I had… A… fight." She swallowed hard, "A really big one. But this time I left. I stormed off after I told him he could find the jewel shards himself…" She placed her hand on her neck, "I tore the chain off where the jewel is, and I shouldn't have done that because I need that to go home."

Kagome shut her mouth. "Umm…" Sesshoumaru looked at her curiously. She sighed. I said too much. I might as well tell him. "I'm…umm… from the future… 500 years…" Kagome sniffled, and looked up at him. He was shocked. "How can that be?" He asked. He wanted more answers about this mysterious girl.

"I don't actually know… You see, I was in my old mini shrine, and my cat got lost down there and you know, I had to go get it, than a centipede demon grabbed me muttering something about the jewel, and it came out of my side…" Kagome quickly breathed in and continued going on and on and on,

"And Inuyasha smelled me and woke up thinking I was Kikyo, so then he tried to take the jewel and then a crow demon got it, and I used my bow and arrows and shot the crow and the jewel shattered… yeah that was also my fault, and then me and Inuyasha had to work together to put the shards back together…"

Kagome breathed in and coughed. She let out a small breath and looked up to Sesshoumaru to see if he even got it. Obviously he did, because he was nodding, probably putting the pieces together. Or else he was just playing along. Whatever it was, it made Kagome feel irritated.

"I see. So that's what happened to the jewel shard, and why you are always around that hanyou." She's also from the future… "And now…" Kagome blushed, "I don't have anywhere to stay since I threw the jewel shards to the ground and left without it." Kagome's eyes teared up. "I guess I'll just have to stay with Kaede or something. But Inuyasha stays there…" "Do you think Inuyasha's going to come after you?" Sesshoumaru questioned. "No." Kagome said simply, with a blank stare on her face.

"Not me. If anyone, Kikyo. He's never loved me. I just look like Kikyo. That's the only reason why Inuyasha will talk to me. That, and I can track down shards." Kagome started crying again. "He's never loved me. He never WILL love me either…ever."

She loves Inuyasha? She really cares for him. A little spark of jealousy came over him. He doesn't deserve someone like this miko. She's different and he doesn't even know that she loves him... Why do I even care? Maybe it's because he doesn't deserve someone like Kagome.

Satisfied with his reason he sat down next to Kagome. "You gave me hospitality when I couldn't take care of myself. And it's my turn to repay you. You may stay with me if you'd like." Kagome looked up at him, and wiped her tears. A small smile came from her lips and she nodded. "Thank you Sesshoumaru."

"Inuyasha. I really think we should go find Kagome." Sango pleaded with Inuyasha. "I agree with Sango." Miroku said. Inuyasha growled. In a low voice he said, "She won't come back. I hurt her, and this time I really did it. She's really hurt." He thought about her words-

"Can't I be in a good mood? Nothing seems to ever be good enough for you! You're always pushing me away." She paused, "And when I help get the jewel shards, your always complaining! Every time I try to talk to you, you snap at me!"

Inuyasha clenched his fists. "Nothing ever seems to be good enough for you!" That's not true Kagome. I'm glad you can help me find the shards. "You're always pushing me away!" I would never… your right… I do… I push you away, and I go to Kikyo. I love her. And despite that, you still love me and care for me. But… Why did I used to accept your love, but never return it? I do love you Kagome, but I don't know If it's the same love I feel with Kikyo.

"Inuyasha?" Miroku asked, putting a hand on Inuyasha's shoulder. "Don't touch me." Inuyasha said, grabbing Miroku's hand and removing it harshly. "Lets go." Inuyasha said, his voice dripping with emotion. Kagome doesn't deserve someone like me…

A/n: Hey everyone. WHEW. This was actually a harder one, but yeah. Thanks for giving me more reviews! I really appreciate it! All of you are so awesome!
