Chapter five- Inuyasha's Feelings
"I hope to meet again with you soon Inuyasha." said Kikyou as she walked back into the forest.
"Kikyou..." Inuyasha had said when she was almost out of sight. "Kikyou ... I love you..." but as soon as Kikyou had finally disappeared with the dead souls Inuyasha said "But that doesn't mean that I don't have any feelings for Kagome" Inuyasha made his way back to Kaedes hut. Suddenly he realized something. I can smell Kagome... Oh no... She was here. I can smell her tears... She must have seen me with Kikyou. Kagome... Please don't be mad. Why did I have to be so careless and not sense her presence? She probably hates me now... Kagome... Why does it have to be this way? Inuyasha tapped his head in frustration. Kagome... I don't want to hurt you anymore. I don't want to cause you pain anymore... Kagome...
Inuyasha suddenly came to the bone eaters well. Maybe I can see her and apologize. That's the least I could do for her. Inuyasha jumped into the well and came to Kagomes room. "Kagome? Are you there?" he said softly. "Kagome..." he said impatiently. "Kagome I know you're mad... Please don't be mad with me Kagome." Grrrr... Inuyasha ran into the room. "WILL YOU JUST LISTEN TO M-" Suddenly Inuyasha stopped yelling. Kagome was asleep. "Kagome... You're asleep." Inuyasha reached out and touched her cheek. "Kagome... You were crying were crying weren't you? I'm sorry... Im sor...
"Inuyasha..." Kagome started saying.
Huh? Oh... She's sleep talking... She's dreaming... About me?
"Inuyasha..." Kagome said again. "I..I..l" Suddenly Kagome started to wake up.
Uh oh! Inuyasha quickly leapt out the window.
"Uhh... I swear I could have heard some one moving. Stupid Kagome you baka... You're imagining things..." Kagome said faintly. Then she stopped. Could it have been Inuyasha...? She looked out the window but didn't see anything. "No... It couldn't have been him. He's probably with Kikyou... Inuyasha... I don't mean anything to you right?" Kagome stopped talking. Inuyasha held his breath. "I didn't think so... You only love Kikyou. Not me..." Kagome you baka... Stop thinking about him... You know you wanted to forget about him. Kagome sighed. Then she started to think. "Inuyasha... I want to forget about you but I just can't..." Kagome broke out in tears. "Inuyasha... I... I can't stop thinking about you because... because... I love you." Kagome went back to her bed and cried herself to sleep.
Inuyasha headed back toward the well house. Kagome... Is that how you really feel? He looked back one more time at Kagome's window. You really feel that way about me? Kagome... I know how much it hurts you to be with me. You think that I only care about Kikyou... But... That's wrong. I feel something for you too. I don't know what it is but I know I don't feel the same way about you the way that I used to before. I will always be there for you. I want to be there for you. But I want to be there for Kikyou too. The truth is I don't know who I want to be there for when the time comes. Inuyasha stopped when he was right in front of the well. "Kagome...I do care about you..." Inuyasha placed his hand against his chest where his heart was. How come I never noticed this before...? Kagome... I'm so sorry...I'm so sorry that I make you feel so hurt all the time. Inuyasha quickly made his way into the well and back to the feudal era.
