Don't own InuYasha, and it's not like I'll actually own him when all I want is Sesshomaru.

Twenty: Kagome's transformation part two
He lay on the roof watching the sunrise. He didn't know what to do anymore, he had some how lost Kagome. She had been so happy when they had first kissed, he was happy, but something had to happen. Whenever he would get close enough to tell Kagome how he felt, or show her his feelings towards her, something went horribly wrong.
'Why can't we be happy together?' He asked himself, 'Why can't people just disappear so I can be with her?'
Inuyasha watched Sango as she exited the hut she looked upset. He sighed and rolled over on his stomach trying to find something else to think about. At first he didn't notice Kagome walking out of the hut a few minutes later until her scent hit his nose.
He sat up and stared at her, he wanted to jump down and hug her, but he couldn't. Instead he just watched Kagome and the demon slayer, he had a bad feeling in the pit of his stomach as his eyes were glued to the scene.
"What are they doing Inuyasha?" Miroku asked.
"Feh," he replied, "Nothing much, just looks like they are sparing to me." 'How did he know I was watching them?'
Momentarily forgetting about everything around him, he frowned in frustration as he remembered how Miroku and Sango had thought that Naraku had something to do with all of Inuyasha's pain and suffering, and they weren't wrong either.
The hanyou could faintly smell the fear in the air, Sango and Kagome's workout had somehow intensified tenfold. His ears twitched as he heard something whizzing in the wind, then he heard
"NO! Kagome! Stop this madness!" Miroku yelled.
Inuyasha's head jerked up as he saw Miroku's staff crash forcefully into Kagome. He heard her cry out and watched as her body rolled limply to a stop. He leaped off the hut and ran to her aide. When he stopped a few yards away from Miroku, who had a now unconscious demon slayer in his arms.
He hadn't even had his eyes off of Kagome for a few minutes when she jumped to her feet and unsheathed the katana that mysteriously appeared around her waist. Kagome silently charged the monk with his back to everyone, holding Sango, trying to wake her up. Inuyasha glanced at Miroku and his eyes widened when he saw Kagome.
Without stopping to think, Inuyasha ran after Kagome and tackled her to the ground. As he lay on top of her, he breathed heavily, his body screaming with agony. Just as he was about to tackle Kagome, she had spun around and he ran straight into the katana's blade.
It had pierced through his whole stomach and the blade made itself known out the back of Inuyasha's torso. His head lay in the crook of Kagome's neck. He knew this position all too well. Inuyasha could feel the wetness as it quickly grew, he could smell the thick scent of his blood in the air.
"Kagome?" Inuyasha asked huskily, "..Why.."
He could feel the blade shift in his body and sharply jerk to the side. Crying out in pain, he fought back the tears. 'How could she?' he asked himself.
"It hurts when the one you cared for causes you pain." she said coldly as she roughly pushed him off of herself.
As Inuyasha hit the ground the pain was too bad and he let out an agonizing muffled cry. Kagome slowly got to her feet and brushed herself off. Subconsciously she pulled loose the strands of her hair behind her ears as she looked around.
She watched as Inuyasha tried to stand on his feet. Angrily she walked over to where he was and placed her foot on the tip of the blade. He stopped moving and tilted his head back, staring into her eyes.
It hurt her to see Inuyasha in pain, even more so that she had been the cause of it. Kagome wanted to hold him, apologize for everything and pray that he would forgive her. Shaking the thoughts from her mind, her anger returned fiercely and she could feel her blood boiling.
'He's the one who betrayed me!' she told herself, 'He's the one who broke my heart, inflicted pain on my body, destroying my soul! How could I forgive him! That mongrel will pay for what he has done to me!'
Kagome pushed down the blade and she smiled as Inuyasha gasped as the sword started to retreat from his backside. He gripped the ground with his claws until he heard the hilt of the katana gently touch the ground.
"Pl-please...stop." he breathed heavily, wincing from the pain.
Growling with agitation, she knocked the defenseless Inuyasha to the ground. He lay silently on his back, waves of pain, fear, and sorrow shot throughout his muscles as he stared unblinkingly up at Kagome.
Gently she placed her foot on his chest and applied pressure. He took in his breath and held it, her eyes glimmered in the sun as she seemed to be indecisive on what to do next. With a sharp jerk, she withdrew the katana blade from the hanyou and threw it to the ground.
Miroku had finally awaken Sango and placed her on the ground. Concern filled his eyes as Sango began to walk towards the busy Kagome.
"Something's not right with her behavior Miroku, we have to stop her before she kills him." she said.
Agreeing with the demon slayer, they both silently made their way behind Kagome, creeping like wild animals, stalking their prey. Just before she could suspect anything, Miroku wrapped his arms around her in a bear hug and pulled her away from the bloody mass that was Inuyasha.
"LET GO!" she screamed angrily thrashing around, struggling to break free. "I have to finish him off! I must have my revenge!"
Slowly and breathing heavily, Inuyasha got to his feet. The pain in his heart tore at him, he wanted to hate her, to made her hurt more than he did currently.
"Kagome why do you wish for revenge on Inuyasha?" Sango asked staring at her struggling friend.
Inuyasha gazed at Kagome, he too wanted to know why she would want to kill him. Had he done her wrong? If so, what did he do to make her hate him so?
"You saved me from my father," Kagome spat venomously staring angrily at Inuyasha, "You saved me from that demon...Then you pushed me away and dumped me to the side for Kikyo, who has already passed away so many years ago!" her voice wavered as she relived that day again. "How could you even lay a finger on me like he did! I thought you loved me! I thought you wanted to be with me!"
By now she had rivers of tears streaking down her face. Cautiously Miroku released his grasp and Kagome slumped to her knees, covering her face from their view as she sobbed. Confused about what she meant by "How could he ever lay a finer on her like that." he had never hurt her in any way. Grant it, he had accidentally cut her, but she ended up trying to kill him.
Carefully Inuyasha walked over to her crying form. Holding his breath to suppress the pain from his wound, the hanyou dropped to his knees and lifted her chin with his claws and drew her gaze to his amber orbs.
"But Kagome," he breathed, "I do want to be with you."
He wrapped his arms around her and embraced her. he could feel her completely tense up against him and the tears from her eyes dripping on to his collar bone.
"No, Inuyasha you don't." Kagome sniffled, "You never did."
Miroku watched his hanyou friend and the young maiden, he smiled as he wrapped his arm around Sango's waist. At first he expected to get a good whack for it, but she leaned against his body and sighed. Kirara finally decided to come out of hiding and rubbed up against Sango's leg, purring loudly.
"Miroku?" Sango asked.
"Yes Sango my dear?" he replied looking down.
"What's going to happen to us now?" she looked confused.
"Kagome," Inuyasha breathed kissing her throat, "I want to be with you. I want to love you."
She pulled away from him staring into his eyes. She wanted to love him, but her need for revenge was greater. She wouldn't rest until one of them were dead, and it wasn't going to be her. Thinking didn't help too much, until Inuyasha cupped her cheek in his palm and gently pressed his lips against hers.
Her emotions went out the window as she returned his kiss, hungrily, need fully, greedily. She wrapped her arms under his and pushed herself against him, deepening his kiss. Barely moving her muscles so he wouldn't feel her body move, she pulled out a long slender dagger mysteriously from the air. For some reason silent tears poured down her eyes as she pulled away from the severely injured hanyou.
"I'm sorry Inuyasha." she whispered placing her forehead against his.
"For what?" he asked staring at her emotionless face.
Gripping the dagger with both of her hands, she sighed heavily. 'For loving you,' she told herself, 'For letting you seep into my soul, for everything.'
"For this," she said venomously as she plunged the dagger into his left shoulder.
He cried out in shock and pain as he was stabbed yet again. He felt her grimace and he could smell her blood. the dagger had pierced through his shoulder and it's tip resided a little ways inside Kagome's own chest. He tried to hold her close, but she pushed him back, the blade retreating from her flesh. Their blood was spilled all over the green green grass.
