Hooo... I sure did make this confusing, didn't I? ... shit, it wasn't supposed to really go like that. Let me EXPLAIN. IF YOU ARE CONFUSED, READ THIS: Inuyasha's soul was sent to hell... ne? well, because he loved Kagome so purely, somehow he escaped. But his body is already occupied, ne? Welll... If you can't figure it out by now, you are just stupid. ;

oh by the way: read the last of the previous chapter to get this one a little better. ja
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Kagome didn't notice that her ice-cream was dripping onto her thighs. She looked into the emotionless eyes of Inuyasha's older brother. Inuyasha... killed people?

How... How could you let him...Never made a difference to me... really. He droned. Looking at the sky lazily. But that is why I need your help. You are a priestess, no? If I asked you to extract a soul, you could, right?I... I've never done anything like it... She said, wiping herself clean of her ice-cream drips from her legs with a napkin.

I need you to do it, though, Kagome. I need you to extract the innocent soul of a boy that I placed there six years ago.

She looked at her knees.

I'll try.Good. I'm counting on you, miko.Will Inuyasha be back to normal if I do?I... don't think so.What? Then what is the point? Why?You have to realize that the Inuyasha we know has been in hell for at least 567 years. With that, he got up from his seat on the park bench

:O: (I'm borrowing this mark from Possession on AFF) love your story! ;)

The next day, Kagome couldn't keep her mind off the task she was given. How was she supposed to remove a soul from a being? It seemed to much like dark magic to her. She frowned and tried to concentrate on her work. Kagome's eyes snapped open.

No! It wasn't supposed to happen like this! Tears ran down her face. She was clutching Inuyasha's still form to herself and sobbing into his neck.

No... No...

Kagome blinked. What was that? She shook her head free of the image and got up. Coincidentally, the bell had rang. Collecting her things, she didn't notice Inuyasha standing in front of her desk.

He looked at her with his golden eyes. Tell me. Tell me why you ignore me. Tell me why you hate me so much.

Kagome's head bowed to examine her things. Something in her broke at his words.

:...please don't cry... don't cry...:

A lump in her throat formed, blocking all speech. Before she could stop them, hot tears splattered the cover of her textbook. Inuyasha looked around and was grateful that there was no one else in the room. Temporarily.

Hey... What's wrong? He put a hand on her shoulder. What ever it is, it can't be so bad... Don't cry.

Her head slowly rose to look at him. A long, long time ago... I was in love with you, Inuyasha.

Taken aback, he blinked. I don't get it.Of course you wouldn't get it! You can't even remember Sango... Miroku... Me...Kagome... please listen to me... He fought out. How did this happen? He'd only known the girl for at least six months.

Just leave me alone. I want to be left alone.Keeping locked up inside wont make it any better! He cried, grabbing her hand. He gasped at the familiarity of the situation.

She snatched her hand away from him. I said was... I was in love with Inuyasha. But you're not him, are you? I want Inuyasha back. When you figure that out, then maybe I'll be your friend. he cried after her, grabbing her shoulder and spinning her around. I don't know what you mean... Of course I'm me.You have memories, but your heart and soul is changed. I want my Inuyasha back. The one I fell in love with.I... I don't want you to dwell on someone who's gone. I can be your comfort. Kagome's lower lip trembled.

I don't know what to do, Inuyasha! Tears streamed freely down her face and she grabbed the front of his shirt. I love him... but I think I'm in love with you too... I don't know what... to do...

Students began entering the classroom and stared at the couple.

We can talk about this later. He said, letting her shoulder go and walked out of the classroom. Kagome gathered her things and rushed to the nurse's office. She opened the door and stepped inside. The elderly woman looked up from her papers.

I feel sick. I want to go home. Kagome muttered, her head felt light and disconnected.

Honey... maybe you should lay down, you don't look so good.

:O:

Inuyasha was in the middle of math class when he had another daydream.

Inuyasha was situated near what seemed like an old well. There was the same girl sitting in front of him, looking concerned.

Kagome, are you hurt? he said, putting a gentle hand on the side of her head tenderly.

Wow, you really are sicker than I thought. Kagome said, laughing happily. For the first time, Inuyasha could see her face. She was beautiful and pale, eyes like the sea after a storm.

You could have died out there, Kagome! I was worried about you!My Injuries are nothing compared to yours! She said, her eyebrows furrowing to mar her perfect face.

But his hand took hers and pulled her into a warm embrace. I was worried about you, Kagome. I thought you were going to die...

A light blush tinted her cheeks.
That's why I never want you to come back, understand! Kagome let out an ack' sound as she hit the well harshly.

What? Inuyasha?

His expression was grim, and he was holding a large pink-colored jewel piece in his hand. I'll take care of this. He heard her cry as he watched her small form tumble into the darkness.

Inuyasha blinked and realized that he was the only one left in his classroom. Finally, his life was piecing together again. He was finally being able to make sense of what had happened.

Of course, you twit.'

Inuyasha blinked.
