Disclaimer-I do not own Inuyasha...

Chapter 2-Unwilling Thought

Inuyasha had blinked yet again, and this time he noticed what he was about to do. In a matter of seconds he had pulled himself away from her. Kagome stared at him blankly as if she had no idea what he was just about to do. Quickly Inuyasha turned around and swallowed something that had built up in his throat. He needed to think of an excuse, and fast. He was able to feel Kagome's stare burning threw his back.

"Inuyasha?" she had said.

"I'm sorry…I…I…" he had to make something up. But nothing seemed to be able to fit in the spot of him almost kissing her. Only one thing came to his mind. And when it had, he didn't take any time to think of how Kagome would react to this. "I just saw Kikyo in you for a split second," he said. As the words escaped his mouth so did his chance to correct himself.

Kagome had heard him perfectly clear, and had turned around. She didn't wait for Inuyasha to say another word. She didn't care. If he hadn't been standing in front of her she would have gone to the well. Even though she seemed more made then anything, she was actually upset. She couldn't believe he had just said that. And something, this little voice inside her head was teasing with her. Telling her that what he had just said was true. Not that it was just some excuse. And she believed the small voice like a fool. Not that she shouldn't. It would make sense if Inuyasha had really meant what he said. He had always been running of in search of Kikyo when ever he got the faintest scent of her. No matter what situation they were in. No matter how hurt someone was. He would go to her. Why?

How could he still love her when she tried to kill him? Even after she had found out the truth she had tried to take Inuyasha down to hell with her. Who could love someone that tried to kill them so many times? How was it even possible? Questions that Kagome thought no one could ever answer for her.

Inuyasha hadn't followed her. He knew his only fate in doing that would be the dreadful word he feared more then anything. Sit. She would use the dreadful curse on him until his face was half way into the earth. Then after that she would yell something to him before storming off. He sighed knowing her to good. Why didn't he just kiss her? He was such an idiot. He loved her so much, and yet all he ever did was hurt her. And badly sometimes to. He knew that every time he would run to Kikyo, or say her name around Kagome she would get upset. He knew all of this, and yet as smart as he could be sometimes this was one thing he never took to mind. Kagome loved him back as well. Who wouldn't be able to tell by the way she acted around him sometimes. And how jealous she would become when he would say her name. Someone dense as dirt. Someone named…Inuyasha.

She looked up at the sky as a tear trickled down her cheek. Why did he always do this. Say Kikyo around Kagome. Or run off somewhere when ever she was around. Kagome had so badly wanted to leave sometimes. But she knew she couldn't leave without finishing the jewel. Well she could. But she knew that everything that is going on, all the fights and blood and deaths, was because of the jewel had been restored when coming out of Kagome's body. And now it was broken. Little shards of it every where. And the demons knew this and now all of them wanted a piece. So until they found the rest of the shard and purified it, Kagome was stuck here. She sat down in a patch of grass and looked up. More tears had swelled up in her eyes now as she thought of what she would do after they restored the jewel shard. Was she really going to give it to Inuyasha. Or do something else with it.

These were all things she really thought about now. With the shard only pieces away from being completed, everything seemed to be going wrong. They now only needed the jewel shards in Koga's legs. And the ones that Naraku held. They knew this for sure.

Inuyasha sighed knowing he should go back and apologize to Kagome. But he was never good at doing this. But at least he had always put some effort into trying. And when he did Kagome would always end up happy with him again. So he just had to go and say he was sorry. It would only be fair. Inuyasha slowly turned himself around and headed towards Kagome scent. When he found her she was lying down once again looking up at the sky. Only this time he had gotten a faint scent of salt. Right away he knew she had been crying.

"Kagome…?" He said, making her jump to her feet and turn to meet his gaze.

She didn't answer only stood there, her arms crossed over her chest and a annoyed looked on her face. Inuyasha sighed knowing he was about to apologize more then just once.

"Listen, about before...I'm so-"

"Don't say anything Inuyasha," Kagome said cutting him off. "If you were truly sorry then you would have never said that, and you wouldn't have to apologize."

"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" he spat out becoming angry.

"It means that even when you do say your sorry to me, you would really mean it and not just be saying it to make me happy!"

"I'm not saying it to make you hap-" Inuyasha stopped himself for talking. Had really been about to apologize just to make her happy. Did he really still love Kikyo? He looked down at his hands, and closed his eyes. He had to think, and seeing Kagome's face right now wouldn't help him. So his best suggestion was to just close his eyes and block everything else out of his mind for now.

Kagome stared at Inuyasha, confused to what he was doing. Never had she seen him do this before. And she had seen him do a lot of things.

"Inuyasha?"

"Why do you always do this to me Kagome? Why must you always bring up her name?" Inuyasha shouted to her, apparently becoming confused because he had been the one to bring up Kikyo's name. And Kagome knew this, and was not going to let it slide.

"What do you mean I brought up her name? I did not bring up her name Inuyasha…you did!"

She was right and Inuyasha knew it. But for some reason something inside of him was telling him to just keep saying it was her fault. But what was it, and why was it doing this? He wouldn't, he couldn't do this to her. He had to fight what ever this little urge inside of him was. And he would need to get away from Kagome to do so. He looked down at her before turning and running, In only a matter of seconds he had jumped into a tree and disappeared from Kagome's sight completely.

Tears had slowly formed in Kagome's eyes. Why did she feel like Inuyasha didn't like to be near her, but always wanted to be near Kikyo instead. It was just this little feeling she had, and never did she like it. Thoughts had crossed her mind about leaving. But she knew if she were to do this Inuyasha would only become angry.

He jumped from tree to tree until a scent passed by his nose. It was the one scent he would never and could never forget. Kikyo. She was near and something had been wrong he could sense it. But something told him not to go, while something else told him to go. He jumped down from the branch he been standing on and looked around. He sniffed the air once before finding where her scent had been coming from. Quickly he started to run as he followed it.

Kagome had known where he was going, the god tree. Where else would he be going at a night like this. She had found a shortcut to the tree and decided to take it to cut him off and ask him what his problem was. But when she got there all she saw was Kikyo standing on one side of the tree. Kagome took no time to run behind another tree. She had thought about just leaving, that was until she saw a flash of red and silver and something land in front of Kikyo. It was Inuyasha there was no mistake of it.

And Kagome wasn't dumb to stay around and wait for something that she didn't like to happen. She had gone to leave but stopped when she had heard all the concern in Inuyasha's voice.

"Kikyo, what's wrong, please tell me…" he said, not one bit of his concern hiding from her.

Kikyo's eyes wondered up to Inuyasha as her hand gently glided across his cheek. "Do you love me Inuyasha?"

When Kagome heard this question and she didn't hear Inuyasha answer she could feel herself about to cry again. She knew that him not answering meant he had to think about it, and the answer would be yes. She blinked letting the tears roll down her cheeks, and the scent of salt fill the air, and Inuyasha's noise as well.

He looked around right before he was about to answer the question. He knew she was here, but how did she get here so fast, and why was she always around when it was just him and Kikyo? It was like Kagome knew when he was going to see her.

But now he didn't even acknowledge Kikyo. He walked up to where the scent of salt was coming from to find no one there anymore. But her scent had been every where, and it was strong to. She had just left and hadn't gotten far either. He turned and looked at the sadness in Kikyo's eyes, but he knew that he should really only be caring about Kagome right now. Kikyo was the past, and Kagome was the future. His future, and he wasn't going to let her go for someone dead like Kikyo.

She stopped running as she now thought about Inuyasha with Kikyo still. But to her surprise a flash of red and silver ran past her and stopped in front of her. She stumbled back at the sudden sight of Inuyasha.

"What do you want? GO back to your dead women!" she shouted in sheer anger.

"Why do you always get like this when I see her? You always act as if you really care. But you don't! Your only doing this because your stubborn. Maybe I should just go back to Kikyo, she at least never acted like you! I mean, all you are is a jewel seeker after all! So why don't you just leave, we can find the jewels with out you!" he yelled. It hadn't donated into his head of what he had just said until Kagome broke down into tears again and ran off. Inuyasha didn't follow her. He knew she would be going home, and what would be the point in following her if she would only come back tomorrow.

He jumped into the tree and looked around before pounding his fist into the tree trunk. He growled in anger. He want made with Kagome or Kikyo, but himself what he had just said.

Kagome came to the well and looked down. It was the only way to get away from Inuyasha, and even sometimes this couldn't keep her away from him. But it was also the only way she could rest and relax and be calm after getting into a fight with Inuyasha. But she couldn't just keep on coming back to this place and leaving when ever she wanted to. It just wasn't right, and she knew it. But right now at this point she didn't care, all she wanted to do was to get home and away from this place.

She placed her hands on the edge of the well and leaped her body over the side. A blue light engulfed her and in a matter of minutes she was back in her own time. She lifted her arms and climbed out of the well. She looked around as if she didn't know where she was before she dropped down to her knees and started to cry hysterically.
