Disclaimer-I do not own Inuyasha

Chapter 8-A Side Of Betrayal

She had jumped back away from the well. She had almost jumped down, but something stopped her. A feeling. A very bad aura was coming from the well and she didn't like it at all. It wasn't normal. It felt as if something bad had happened. And now she needed to go back. She needed to find out if her friends wee okay or not. She needed to see if anything had changed. But something was holding her back. And even though she tried her hardest to fight it away nothing seemed to work out.

"Inuyasha, why do I feel like your around?" she asked herself as more tears built up in her eyes.
"I…I have to go. I cant stay here anymore. I need to go back and make sure everyone is okay!"

After she said this Kagome forced herself to climb up on the side of the well and jump down. Only this time she was consumed by not a blue light, but a very dark red one that looked like it was blood. She didn't like this at all. Something was giving her such a bad feeling and telling her to go back. But it was to late now. She could feel the ground under her feet and she knew she was in the feudal era. She climbed up the side of the well and when she got up her mouth dropped open and she almost fell back in the well. But she caught herself and forced herself to climb back out.

"I…I cant believe it…" she said. In her time it was summer, but not here. Snow was falling from the sky but that wasn't what had shocked her. When she had climbed up the only thing she had first got a glimpse of was the color red. And right away she thought of Inuyasha, but then she had actually saw what it was. Blood. Blood that belonged to so many dead demons that Kagome was now looking at.

She had gone to turn around when hearing a sound. It was like the wind, only so familiar to her. And at that moment Sango's weapon came crashing threw the trees. It was covered in blood. And only a few moments later did Sango appear, her eyes wide when seeing Kagome. She couldn't believe it. She caught her weapon in her hand and stared at Kagome. She pulled down her gas mask and then cried out:

"Kagome!" she ran over to her friend and immediately wrapped her arms around Kagome.

Kagome did the same thing and they both started crying. Then came Miroku, and Shippo. The same thing happened with both guys only Miroku didn't cry. Kagome looked at all of them. None of them looked different at all. Not even Shippo. He hadn't even grown for some reason. Not even and little centimeter. But that didn't matter to Kagome. She was only happy to see her friends alive. As they were to see her alive. But for some reason Kagome got a very uncomfortable vibe from them. They had been hiding something. Something that Kagome felt as if she should know about. But what was it? She had to find out. She had to asked.

As they day grew near an end and Kagome and all her friends had talked and caught up on everything Kagome asked Sango if she would go for a walk with her. Sango willingly agreed, and they both left. This was when Kagome was going to ask what they were hiding from her.

"Sango?" Kagome said as her and her friend sat down on a small log right outside Kaede's village.

"Yes?"

"Your hiding something. I know you are. So please don't say your not. I might have been gone for a year but I know when your not telling me something. So please just tell me what it is!" Kagome said kindly.

Sango but her bottom lip. She knew Kagome was right. She was hiding something. But she really felt as if she should tell Kagome. It would break her heart. Maybe even send her into something that Sango didn't want to happen to Kagome. She looked up at Kagome's patient face and sighed. She knew she wouldn't be able to hide it from Kagome. But she had to. Kagome didn't need to know.

Sango only put a soft smile on her face.

"Don't worry Kagome. Nothing is wrong, really." she said

Kagome only frowned. There was something Sango and Miroku were hiding. But they weren't going to tell her unless she begged. She went to go say something again when a harsh wind passed by and knocked both Sango and Kagome onto the cold snow. Kagome opened her eyes, sat up, and rubbed the back of her head. But when she sat up and opened her eyes her whole entire body froze as well as Sango's.

"In…Inuyasha?" she said so softly and calmly.

She couldn't believe it. It really was him. It had to be. Red kimono. Silver hair. Cute little ears. And the dumb struck look her had when he couldn't believe something. And in this case it was Kagome being back in his time. The time period that he lived in.

"Ka….."Inuyasha couldn't even say her name. He just couldn't believe it. Then he looked down at Sango who was standing and in a fighting position. Inuyasha knew right away why she was like that, but he didn't care at all. He just couldn't believe he was seeing Kagome here. Inuyasha quickly grabbed Kagome before Sango could do anything else and ran off with her.

When he thought he was far enough he stopped running and placed the shocked Kagome down on the ground.

"Inuyasha…is…is that really you?" she asked.

"Of course its me!" he snapped back.

"But…..But I saw you die! You went to hell with Kikyo! I saw it!" she cried out taking Inuyasha by surprise.

Inuyasha looked at the floor and growled lowly.

"I'm sorry Kagome, but that wasn't me!" he cried out.

Kagome was confused. She didn't understand. She didn't understand what Inuyasha was telling her. She saw him go down to hell with Kikyo. She knew it was him. It had to be. But Inuyasha was telling her it was. She didn't understand. Inuyasha as if sensing this decided to explain to her.

"Naruke some how made a clone of me that would only last two hours or so. That's what you saw go down to hell! Not me! I would never have left you Kagome! Ever!"

Kagome didn't believe him. But at the very same time she did.

"Then why didn't you ever come to get me? If that wasn't you Inuyasha… then why did you just leave me in my own time? You never came! Ever! I stayed in my own time alone! Thinking about you every moment of my life! And here you are in this place not even caring if I'm gone!" she shouted as tears came to her eyes and rolled down her cheeks.

"Because I couldn't come and get you!" he shouted.

"Why couldn't you come and get me Inuyasha? What's your lame excuse this time?"

Before Inuyasha could answer Sango's weapon came flying out of know where and had almost hit Inuyasha. But Inuyasha dodged it just in time and landed on a tree branch.

"What are you doing Sango?" Kagome cried out as Sango jumped off of Kirara's back.

"he isn't who you think he is Kagome!" she cried back as she looked at Inuyasha coldly.

As if Kagome wasn't confused enough this only added on more to her confusion. Inuyasha looked down at Kagome from the tree he was standing in. Kagome wasn't paying attention to him but Sango's angry face instead.

"Sango, I don't understand. What do you mean he isn't who I think he is? Isn't that Inuyasha?"

"it is. But he isn't the Inuyasha you know! He turned on us Kagome. He turned on all of us! We didn't know until a month after you left when he just attacked us for no reason! He's with Naraku!" Sango said sending Kagome into shock.

She looked at Inuyasha as more tears filled in her eyes.

"Tell me this isn't true Inuyasha! Please tell me your not with Naraku!" Kagome demanded.

Inuyasha just looked down at his feet and Kagome knew that was Sango had said was true.

"I cant believe you Inuyasha! I cant believe you did this!"

"Kagome please!" Inuyasha said jumping down from the tree and landing in front of Kagome. "I love you! Join me and Naraku! We'll be more powerful then him and can take control of everything!" Inuyasha said grabbing a hold of Kagome's hand.

She wiped her hand back from Inuyasha as tears of pain and now suffer trailed down her cheeks.

"I cant believe you Inuyasha!" she said again. "I will never join you Inuyasha! Your going down a different path then me. A path I cant chose! Its not me! Its not you either Inuyasha! I know you want to be able to be good once more. Please tell me you want to be good once more!" she cried out.

Inuyasha looked up at the sky and sighed.

"I want to Kagome. I want to be able to be with you once more. But I promised Naraku I would stay with him. Serve by his side and I cant break my promise." he told her.

Kagome looked away from Inuyasha.

"I'm sorry Inuyasha. If you wont come back with us then you're an enemy!" Kagome cried out as if it didn't matter to her.

But it did. She felt so hurt right now. Nothing had hurt her so much. Not even when she had seen 'Inuyasha' go down to hell with Kikyo did her heart so much. Inuyasha had betrayed all of them. Every single one of the people who trusted him. Who helped him. And never wanted to leave his side.

"You know you cant kill me!" Inuyasha shot back.

But this was a mistake on his part. Kagome was so torn. Betrayed. Hurt. She couldn't even think of words to describe how she was feeling right now. And when Inuyasha said this something inside her body clicked, and she snapped on Inuyasha.

"I would not be to sure about that Inuyasha! If you come after me or anyone else do you honestly think we would hesitate? I'll do exactly what Sango just did and attack as if your just another demon that has been sent to kill us. Wait, you would be that other demon who was sent to kill us. And I know that I'm always supposed to kill those demons. And you Inuyasha are no different." she said coldly.

Inuyasha-who was completely shocked about what Kagome had just said-jumped back up into a tree.

"Kagome, I asked you to join me. Now the only thing I can do is pray that you wont get in the way of me and Naraku."

"Get in the way? Of course I will be getting in the way you freaking moron (sorry about Kagome going ooc) Naraku is who we must go after!" Kagome shot back.

And she was right. Sango and Miroku had told her earlier in the day that they hadn't stopped looking for Naraku. If they didn't find Naraku soon and destroy him then Miroku's wind tunnel will turn on him soon. And neither Kagome, Sango, or Shippo wanted this to happen. So it was only right if they still went after Naraku. But not Inuyasha was on his side. And Kagome was pretty sure he wasn't under any control or anything. It was his choice, and his choice only. He had the choice not to be with Naraku. But he was stubborn.

"Fine," was all Inuyasha said before he disappeared into the forest.

Kagome fell the floor and her knees sunk into the snow. She started to cry. She couldn't believe Inuyasha would have honestly done this. But he did. She had just witness it. This was what Sango was hiding from her. She understood why now as well. But still, this was what she came back for? To find out that Inuyasha had betrayed her and her friends. Is that why she felt the evil feeling when passing through the well? And the light was red? Was it a warning to just go back?

It had to of been. It had of been something telling her to go back, that if she didn't she would only cause herself pain.

Sango walked over to her and knelt down by her side.

"Kagome," Sango said softly.

"I should have never of came back!" Kagome cried out. "I wish I never would have come back! I wish I…"Kagome stopped herself and looked over at Sango's sad face. If Kagome had really wished all of this then she had also wished she had never known Sango or anyone else. But that was true. She only wished she didn't have to know Inuyasha.

"I'm sorry Sango." Kagome said. "I just wish I would have never of met Inuyasha."

"Don't say that," Sango reassured her. "You know your happy you met Inuyasha. But he had done so many things to hurt you that your just thinking that. This of course being the most dumbest one he could have ever of done, but still you know that deep down your happy you met him. Because you love him. And you know you wished you could do anything to get him to come back to his senses and join us. But I don't think that will be happening. No one knows exactly why Inuyasha went with Naraku. But were all pretty sure it was because you left. And now I honestly doubt he will be coming back to us." Sango told Kagome.

Kagome just softly nodded and stood to her feet. She looked around then back at Sango.

"I…I think I need to go for a walk…alone…" she said.

"Kagome, your not going back are you?"

When Sango asked this she meant back home.

"No, I'm staying here. Inuyasha…he needs to be helped. And I plain to be the one who helps him."

With that said Kagome walked off. Sango only stood there and watched as Kagome vanished from sight. She was worried about her. Even though Kagome said she wouldn't be going back home Sango hadn't believe her for some reason. She just didn't think that Kagome would be able to handle what had just happened in this time period. Maybe her time period was a better place for Kagome right now. But Sango didn't want her to leave and never come back like she did a year ago.

Kagome's feet were frozen like ice cubes. She was shuffling them threw the snow and kicking it everywhere. But she hadn't cared at all. She could care less if she got so sick and died right now. She had come back, and for what? To find out the one she loved was now the one she had to kill. She knew if she didn't kill Inuyasha first then he would be killing her. She wasn't dumb at all.

She let out a soft sigh and stopped walking. She looked up into the sky to see that more snow was now falling and hitting the ground. She then looked around herself and thought of how nice it would be if Inuyasha was here with her. Holding her in his arms and keeping her warm like she had always wanted him to.

"Inuyasha…"she said so softly and caring. "Why Inuyasha? Why did you betray me Inuyasha?"

She had said the very same words that Kikyo had said without even noticing it. And when she said these words something shot through Inuyasha's heart. A feeling of pain and betrayal.

He placed his hand over his heart as a sudden shot of pain went though it. It felt like Kikyo's arrow had once again pierce though his heart. But it wasn't her, she was dead. He just didn't understand what it was. He was still running in the trees when this happened and caught him off guard. He slipped on a branch with much snow on it and fell backwards on his back into the snow. He growled deeply and sat up.

"Kagome, its her!" he growled. "its got to be her. Something she did or said gave me this feeling." Inuyasha sniffed the air but got no scent of Kagome.

"I'm sorry Kagome. Oh my god I'm so sorry!" Inuyasha cried out as he finally realized the big mistake he had just made. He couldn't believe what he had just done. He had just told Kagome that he would kill her if it was necessary. Though she had told him the same thing. But it didn't seem to have the same effect as when it did when he told her he would kill her. He just couldn't believe he had actually done that. He loved her. He loved her more then anything and he just now let her go from his life. His very life. And Kagome was something that was worth losing. And he had just lost her.

"I'm such an idiot!" he shouted as he just stood there, wishing. He was wishing. Wishing for Kagome to come back to him so he could apologize for everything. Everything he had eve done to her. Not just about now. But for as long as he knew her. He wanted to apologize for her having to know him. So many things popped up in his mind that he wanted to apologize for.

"KAGOME!" He shouted.

"Inuyasha…why?" Kagome cried out falling to the floor once more. She only had a light jacket on that was given to her from Kaede. And she had started to cough badly.

"I loved you Inuyasha. I loved you with everything I had! And this is what you do to me? I cant believe you! I wont be able to forgive you!" Kagome shouted. Only when she had shouted this she hadn't known Inuyasha had caught her scent and was now in a tree watching her, tears in his eyes as what she had just said.
