CHAPTER 10:

ALWAYS FAITHFUL TO YOU

A/N: Hi! I'm finally updating on Remember Me, Okay. Sorry for keeping you guys waiting for SO long. Well, enjoy!

Inuyasha laid in bed. Kikyo slept beside him, her back against him. "Kikyo…?"

"Yeah…"

"So, that little girl was your sister…?"

"Yup…she was." Kikyo turned with a smile.

"I'm glad…that you met someone that's your relative."

"Now, I'm not alone."

Inuyasha put his face near hers. "Geez, what about me…didn't you have me?"

Kikyo, realizing her error, quickly kissed him. "Of course. But, I mean, relative."

Inuyasha smirked. "You could've said that earlier!" he turned around.

"I'm sorry…for making you angry."

Inuyasha sighed. "I can't stay at you, you know that." He turned around and hugged her. "Let's go to sleep now…"

Kikyo closed her eyes. "Yeah…but…"

"But what…?"

Kikyo quickly got up and ran to the bathroom.

"Kikyo! What's wrong!" Inuyasha ran after her. Kikyo wobbled back.

"Inu…yasha…nngh…!" she collapsed.

"KIKYO! I'll get you to safety…just hold on! Hold on, Kikyo! Hold on…!"

"Inu…yasha…" Kikyo said weakly.

:X:X:XX:X:

Kikyo slowly opened her eyes. "Where am I…?" Kikyo looked around, then sighed. "Oh, the hospital."

She slowly got up. "But, where's Inuyasha-kun…"

She walked to the window to look at the garden view. The time was three o'clock now. "How long have I been here?" she asked herself.

:X:X:XX:

Inuyasha walked along the halls of the hospital. "Damn it! I can't believe it! I could've done more to make Kikyo better…! I could've done more!" he slammed his wrists on the wall.

"Hey…um I don't think you should do that." said a familiar voice.

"Shut up you-" he turned his head. Then he dropped his jaw. "Omigod…"

"How have you been doing?"

"Kagome…!"

:X:X:X:X

Kikyo sighed. "Where's Inuyasha." She suddenly realized that she was being selfish. I shouldn't make him have to come here to visit me all day…he's done enough for me and I'm very grateful…indeed I am…but. But somehow…I want him to be with me just today for some odd reason…

:X:X:XX:

"So…how's it been?"

"It's been great. I really want to thank you, Inuyasha, for making me realize how stupid I was, trying to kill myself. I didn't realize how my grandpa, mom, or Souta would feel if I died."

"Or me. You didn't even care about how I'd feel didja?" Inuyasha said.

"Yeah…or you." Kagome said, playing with her hair. "I'm sorry to have caused you so much trouble."

"So what brings you here anyway?"

"Well, I just came back from Okinawa, you know to visit my relatives. And they gave me this really great offer. They said that I could live with them because there's this really great college over there! I really wanna ago there because it's a really great school. So I told my family and they agreed. I'm leaving in two days but I'd be busy packing and doing all these stuff so…I came to say goodbye!"

"Wow…" Inuyasha patted her head. "You've really grown you know that."

"You too…I mean." Kagome blushed. "Heh, you've gotten…more soft. I think it's that special thing you have with Kikyo."

"What special thing?"

Kagome whispered in his ear. "Love…"

"Do you really think I got softer because…I'm in love…?" Inuyasha shyly asked.

"Yup. Are you planning to marry Kikyo?"

Inuyasha paused. "I think you're thinking way too much in the future!"

Kagome chuckled. "Well, I came to say goodbye to you and Kikyo but I see that I have to go right now. Well, see ya!"

Inuyasha smiled. "Bye…wait…Kagome?"

"Yeah?"

:X:X:X:X:X

Kikyo took one more look out the window. Why do I keep looking this way? As she moved the curtains out of the way, she dropped her jaw. There was Inuyasha and Kagome hugging. "What is this awful feeling…in my chest…" Kikyo asked herself. She immediately closed the curtains. "Is it anger…no. it's…jealousy…" she told herself.

Kikyo sat down. I don't understand…Inuyasha told me he loved me but why is he hugging Kagome! I'm jealous…for the first time in my life. And I know I'm being mean but…I just can't stand it!

:X:X:X:X:X

Inuyasha let go of Kagome. "Well, I'll tell Kikyo you said goodbye."

"Oh yeah. Inuyasha, do you know by any chance where Kouga lives?"
"Oh yeah…go left when you turn on this corner and keep going straight and then…go right and keep going on. Then go left and his house should be there."

"Thanks…ja ne!" she yelled as she walked off in the distance.

"Bye…Kagome." Inuyasha headed up to Kikyo's room to check on her and tell her about Kagome.

:X:X:X:X:

Kikyo sighed at how awful she felt. Ever since Inuyasha entered my life, I've been…selfish. But, I can't stand not being with Inuyasha…I just love him too much. But the thought of him and Kagome…it-it makes me sick! She shook his head.

"Kikyo?"

Kikyo widened her eyes. "Inuyasha…!"

"Hey…can I come in."

Kikyo shook her head. "No! Go away! I-I saw you with Kagome! How could you!"

"NANI?"

"GO AWAY!"

Inuyasha sighed. "Geez…what am I gonna do…Kikyo misunderstood. Wait…I think I have an idea."

"So, you want me to explain to Kikyo that Kagome was just saying goodbye, nothing more?"

"Yeah. Can you do that Kaede-chan?"

"Um sure…but what if she won't listen?"

Inuyasha gave her a reassuring look. "Don't worry, she'll listen to you."

"Okay…I guess." Kaede knocked on the door. "Onee-sama? It's me, Kaede-chan."

"Kaede…come in."

Kaede went inside and blinked at Inuyasha. "First stage cleared!" she whispered.

"Kikyo, well. Inuyasha told me to-"

"Oh…it's about him…" she turned the other way.

"Kikyo, I know you don't hate him. You seem to really love him, I know you do."

Kikyo still didn't turn around.

"Well, he wanted me to tell you that Kagome was moving to Okinawa…and she came to say goodbye. And the only reason they hugged was because they were good friends and they were never going to see each other again."

Kikyo looked. "Are you sure…that it wasn't because they were getting back with each other?"

"I'm one hundred percent sure Kikyo!"

"Okay…I'll speak to Inuyasha if he's here right now."

"Yeah, he's right outside the door." Kaede walked out and smiled at Inuyasha. "All yours." She whispered.

"Kikyo…" Inuyasha closed the door. "You simply misunderstood. How could I ever betray you! We've been through so much!"

Kikyo nodded. Inuyasha sat near her. "Kikyo, I was really worried about you…"

Kikyo rested her head on his shoulder.

"Kagome told me to say goodbye…she's going to Okinawa…"

Kikyo kept silent.

"Kikyo…?"

"Yeah…"

"I'm glad you understand."

Kikyo closed her eyes.

"Kikyo…?"

"Yeah…?"

Inuyasha kissed her hand. "I love you, okay?"

Somehow, even though Inuyasha had said it so many times, those words at this time made Kikyo's heart throb. Tears fell down Kikyo's cheeks.

Kikyo hugged Inuyasha. "Inuyasha…!"

"Kikyo, I want you to remember that I am faithfully yours and always will be faithful to you…"

Kikyo looked at Inuyasha's golden eyes.

"Kikyo…" Inuyasha kissed her gently.

"Inu…yasha…"

The blue sky this morning had turned dark and black and the stars bright showed. Inuyasha and Kikyo didn't care about anything else right now. They only focused on each other. The moon began to show. As the two lovers declared their love, something else was happening where Inuyasha and Kikyo could not see.

Kagome walked up to Kouga's house. DING-DONG!

Kouga tiredly opened the door. "What is it! Who could be out here, ringing my door bell now, when it's almost dark?"

"Ko…Kouga-kun…"

"Ka…go…me…"

Ayame stepped near Kouga. "What are you doing here?"

"Well, I'm here to see Kouga…" Kagome began.

"I know that stupid! Why did you come to see him."

Kagome got a little angry. "Hey! Just what are you to him anyways!"

"I'm his fiancé dummy!"

Kouga looked away. "Kagome…come in."

Kagome came in the house.

"Ayame, can you go upstairs. Kagome and me need to talk."

Ayame slowly nodded and did as Kouga ordered.

"Kagome…Ayame is my fiancé."

Kagome looked away. "Why didn't you tell me earlier that you…were getting married."

"KAGOME! I DON'T EVEN LOVE HER!"

Kagome got up. "Look Kouga! You're getting married, alright. It doesn't matter! You can't change anything….you're still gonna get married!"

Kouga grabbed Kagome's arm. He pressed his lips against yours. "Why can't you see that the one I love is…is you, Kagome…"

Ayame watched from behind a wall. "Kouga…kun…" she sighed.

A/N: Okay, don't get anything wrong. I like Ayame, I do, but I like the coupling of Kouga and Kagome even though I hate Kagome. I think it's cool that Kouga likes Kagome…mostly because that gives Kagome reason to stay away from Inuyasha so he could be with Kikyo, LOL but I dunno. Well, enjoy the rest of the story.
