Chapter 2

" Inuyasha put me down " kagomes scream could be heard all throughout the village.

" Not until you listen to what I have to say " he retorted.

Inuyasha landed neatly on one of the highest branches of the Sacred tree, ensuring that Kagome couldn't get away. He then pulled her sholders and made her face him. Then he noticed her tears.

" Inuyasha, can't you just leave me alone? I understand that you choose Kikyou over me, and I just want to deal with it on my own. Why can't you just let me deal with my own problems? " she half sobbed.

Inuyasha was taken aback by her harsh words. Does that mean she doesn't like me anymore? He cringed. " Kagome, when you saw me with Kikyou, what was I doing?"

She looked so shocked by his words and let a few more tears fall as she remembered what she witness.

Flashback

Kagome came home from her time just to see Inuyasha run towards the sacred tree (goshinboku). She ran after him, thinking he was after another demon… oh she couldn't have been more wrong. As she approached the edge of the forrest, she saw one of Kikyou's soul stealers circle a branch, she reached out for it, and as she touched it, it crumbled to the ground.

She walked and as she finally reached goshinboku she saw Inuyasha holding Kikyou, and wispering words that she couldn't quite pick up. She didn't have to look twice before she got the message. She ran towards the well, falling constantly as her vision blurred. Vines raped around her legs and cut her severely.

Meanwhile also in the flashback

Inuyasha looked up, he smelt Kagomes blood and backed away from Kikyou to stare at the forest.
" Inuyasha, I am glad I got to see you one last time but now you must go. " Kikyou explained
" Kikyou, you don't really have to leave, we can find a way to keep you in this world " he exclaimed.
" Inuyasha I have already told you, my body is not meant for this world, and I can not sustain myself. There is no reason for me to be here, and you cant say you are a reason, as I am not meant to be with you and you know that. Please remember, take care of Kagome. With the returning of her soul, she will receive powers that have taken far to long to awaken. " And with that Kikyou evaporated in a bright light sending a large orb into the air.

Inuyasha started to run towards the forest, holding back tears for his former love, but he new she wasn't his true love. Just as he reached the bone eaters well he saw a bright light fade from it, meaning that Kagome had gone home.

The tree's groaned, and the wind whispered, the whole area seemed to be depressed whenever she went back to her country. And now it wasn't the only thing depressed. Inuyasha stared down the well before deciding to give her privacy, he slowly stood up and made his way towards the village…

end of flashback

Kagome sniffled as she reveled that she had witnessed Inuyasha with Kikyou, and that his unspoken words to her where probably ones of meaning such as how he would never leave her.

Inuyasha stared back at her and Just as he was about to tell her what really happened she said " Inuyasha, I would really like it if you put me down now."

Inuyasha tightened his grip on her thinking how can I make her realize that nothing happened between me and Kikyou?

" Kagome, Kikyou is gone, she told me that she was leaving and how her body can not sustain in this world any longer. She only came to say goodbye. " he begged her to believe him.

Kagome looked up, trying desperately not to believe him. His gaze on her was full of hope and she found she couldn't resist not believing. " Inuyasha, I'm sorry about Kikyou, I know how you felt about her so all forgive you and believe you. " she said with lingering dought,

Inuyasha stared into her eyes and was about to blurt out how she was the one he wanted, not Kikyou, when she whispered " Its getting late, lets get back. "

He nodded picking her up and leaping towards the village.
