New Beginnings

Chapter 2

Shippo ran to the tree, that Inuyasha was last sitting on. "Inuyasha!" He yelled. "What now?" Inuyasha asked, annoyed. "It's Kagome!" Shippo said. Inuyasha immidiatly jumped down from the tree. "What about Kagome!" He asked, grabbing Shippo by the shirt. 'He dosn't even know how pressed he is over her!' Shippo thought. He gulped before he said the next part. "I saw her and Kouga...and..." Shippo dragged off not wanting to go on. "And what?" Inuyasha demanded, shaking poor Shippo. "And...they were kissing." Shippo finally said. "WHAT!" Inuyasha roared, sending Shippo flying through the air as he ran off to find them. 'Uh oh.' Shippo thought.

Meanwhile, Kagome and Kouga were still in their liplock. Kagome wanted to pull away at the thought of Inuyasha, but Kouga's lips were so soft and he was making the kiss deeper, and she was loving every bit of it. But all good things must come to an end because it was at that moment that Inuyasha stormed into the clearing where they were and saw them. "KAGOME!" He yelled. Kagome instantly ended the kiss. "Inuyasha!" She said, surprised and embarrased. "What the hell are you doing with that creep!" Inuyasha asked, raging mad. Kagome realised that she was still in Kouga's arms so she pulled away quickly. "I-I don't know what you're talking about." She lied. But Kouga stepped up, putting his arms around her once more. "You know exactly what's going on you mutt." He said. "What are you talking about?" Inuyasha asked. "It seems that Kagome has found a new lover. Someone who will actually be faithful." Kouga said. "What?" Inuyasha said, not sure where Kouga was going with this. "Kagome's told me all about how she really felt. How she was sick of you pledging your love to Kikyo, and coming back to her once Kikyo rejected you over and over again. She felt like she was your temporary lover for you to have when Kikyo wasn't around." Kouga said, making sure Inuyasha heard every word. And he did. Kouga's words stung Inuyasha like poison. He never meant to hurt Kagome. Was it his fault that he couldn't decide between the two?
"Kagome is this true?" He asked Kagome, his voice softer now. Kagome paused. Everything Kouga had said was true, but she had never told him any of it! How could he possibly know? But the better question was, would she let Inuyasha know? She took a deep breath. "Yes. It's true Inuyasha." She said sadly. Inuyasha's face fell. She really did feel this way! But why hadn't she told him? "K-Kagome, I-" "It's obvious who she wants to be with." Kouga said, cutting of Inuyasha. "Oh is it?" Inuyasha asked, getting angry again. He turned to Kagome. "Fine. Who DO you want to be with?" Inuyasha asked.

Kagome froze. She hadn't expected them to turn to her for the answer, and now she had choose right now! She looked at Kouga. 'If I choose Kouga, he'll love me, I'll have protection, and he won't betray me. But that would mean I'd have to live in the Feudal Era for good. Am I ready to leave my family?' She then looked at Inuyasha. 'If I choose Inuyasha, I'll still be able to return home, I'll have protection, but I'll still get my heart broken when he runs off with Kikyo. Being betrayed is too much for my heart to bear.' She came to the conclusion that if she picks one, there will always be a downside. She now had to figure out, which downside was the worst? Her thoughts were interrupted when Inuyasha spoke. "Come on! I don't have all day you know!" He complained iterrably. "SIT BOY!" Kagome shouted in anger. At this, Inuyasha fell face forward into the ground, with Kouga laughing at him. "I'm going to have to think about this. I'm going home." Kagome said, walking towards the well leaving Kouga and Inuyasha dissapointed, and yet anxious. Who would she choose?


The next day, Inuyasha was sitting at the base of a tree thinking about yesterday's events, when something landed on him, something heavy. He immidiatly got up knocking the thing that was on him on the ground. "OUCH! Hey watch it you baka!" The thing said. Inuyasha looked and realized that it was a young girl. A youkai about his age. She had chesnut brown hair, icy blue eyes, and he also noticed that she had the same streaks across her cheeks that Sesshoumaru had, except hers were indigo blue. When he realized he had been staring at her for some time, he regained his posture. "Hey why'd the heck did you fall on me anyways?" He asked, getting the same attitude she had gotton with him. "I was sitting in the tree when the branch gave way." The girl answered. "Heh, you must be pretty fat then." Inuyasha mumbled, but unfortunatly the girl's ears were as sensitive as his so she heard him, which led to him getting smacked. "Hey what the hell did you do that for!" He asked, holding his red cheek. "You should respect those that are above you.
hanyou." She said, saying the last word with hatred. "Hey you can't talk to me like that! Who the heck are you anyway?" Inuyasha asked. The girl stood up. "My name is Sakura. And you are?" She asked. "Inuyasha."He said. Sakura's face sofened a bit, and she smiled. "Nice to meet you Inuyasha. So what are you doing here by yourself?" Sakura asked. "None of your damn business." Inuyasha said defiantly. "Hmph!" Sakura said. She turned to leave, but before she did she spoke. "We'll meet again Inuyasha." She said, not looking at him. Then she left, leaving Inuyasha with his thoughts. 'Who is that youkai?' He thought as he watched her leave.
