A/N: back to being obsessed with my writing, I need reviews by the way, without reviews I seem to become an insomniac and I love writing for you guys but I need my sleep. If I get reviews then I can at least have a reason for putting off doing some very important things, there have been days where I stop doing my schoolwork, and write down thoughts for another Inu fic, or where I stay home from important dance lessons, or stay home from my bowling league which is earning me college money, so conclusion, REVIEW!
Disclaimer" I don't own Inuyasha and co.
Chapter 2: What Kagome thought and Inuyasha Said
Kikyo woke up the next morning with a smile plastered to her face. The sun was shining across her face and she turned away from its blinding glare. She gasped as her face met his. She had been this close before but it had taken her by surprise today.
She walked to the river and washed her face and catch some fish.
She began to cook them as he woke up and smiled. She smiled back as he walked to the river.
When he came back with a bucket of water she was confused. He splashed it on the fire and began walking.
"What about food?" she walked beside him looking up into his face.
"We have somewhere we need to be," and he continued smiling and walking.
They met up with a girl, a demon, and a two-headed dragon a few hours later.
"Kikyo, these are my traveling companions, Jaken, Rin, and Ah-Un."
They all nodded and Sesshomaru continued walking along the path.
Kikyo noticed that they were staring at her.
She ignored their gaze and looked at her surrounding to see she was headed in the wrong direction.
They were headed towards the place Inuyasha now stayed.
Kikyo coughed and then swallowed hard. "Where are we seeking to go?"
"You need not speak to me so formally, but we are going for a small battle in which I have a score to settle," he had a small smirk on his face.
Kikyo did not wish to encounter Inuyasha so soon, especially with said company, but she didn't have a choice in the matter so she followed like an obedient puppy.
They reached the camping grounds late that evening and they all went to their sleeping places quietly after dinner. Kikyo wandered off however and ran into the most unexpected surprise.
Kagome, humming a little song, picking flowers. Kikyo and her reincarnation were obviously both insomniacs (like someone else I know).
Kagome heard the movement and snapped her head up to see Kikyo. She inhaled deeply and exhaled more slowly.
"Why are you here?" Kagome found her words.
"I am traveling with companions much like yourself," Kikyo bit her lip.
"Oh..who?"
"None of your concern," Kikyo turned to walk away.
"Wait...just tell me something, do you love Inuyasha?"
Kikyo smiled and turned to face Kagome. "No." She was surprised with her own answer and giggled a little.
"Then who, to make you seem so different?"
"You will see." Kagome was completely confused by how Kikyo has just acted, but accepted it and went back to camp.
"What did she say?" his golden eyes were looking down at her.
"What? Oh She was acting really weird." Kagome tucked herself into her sleeping bag.
"How?" Inuyasha jumped down from his tree and sat next to Kagome, obviously expecting a conversation.
"Inuyasha, I think she's in love."
"With who?"
"I don't know, I'm going to sleep."
"Tell me!"
"I DON'T KNOW, SO DROP IT!" and with that Inuyasha went back to his tree in defeat, he had hit a nerve with Kagome.
The next morning the two groups met at the border of the village and stood on opposite sides for many minutes.
"Kikyo?" Inuyasha was stunned.
"Inuyasha I would appreciate it if you stopped staring at my woman!" Sesshomaru was being very protective.
"YOUR WOMAN!" Inuyasha growled.
"Yes," Sesshomaru smiled and pulled Kikyo next to him.
"No, she belongs to me!"
Kagome took one step backward and then ran as fast as she could. Sango came behind Inuyasha with her hiraikotsu in hand. It landed on his head and he hit the ground from lack of want to stand.
Sango ran after Kagome along with Shippo while Miroku pulled up Inuyasha and waved a good-bye to Sesshomaru's group, who did not leave.
Inuyasha was an idiot, he knew that, but he didn't know why he said what he had said. He loved Kagome, not Kikyo, was he possessive? No way, he couldn't be.
He looked over at Kikyo and Sesshomaru kissing and missed Kagome. He had butterflies in his stomach and a smile played across his face. He remembered just yesterday when he was chasing her through the field of flowers and he caught her and they tumbled over. She had said that she felt butterflies the whole day.
It was settled, he ran and ran with no thought of his explanation for what he had said.
He wasn't possessive, he didn't love Kikyo, so why did he say that?
He explored his thoughts and he was upset with himself. He had said that stupid sentence because Kikyo smiled without force when she was with Sesshomaru. He could never give her that.
He caught Kagome's scent, she had no despair, no sadness, no anger, nothingness. He didn't like her like this.
He came to the edge of the lake that Kagome was crying into while Sango looked back and excused herself.
She came up to Inuyasha and nodded for him to go on.
"Inuyasha, bring her back to us, if she loses you..." Sango trailed off and left the two alone.
"Kagome" he tried.
"No," she stopped crying and said this plainly, no emotion.
"Kagome, I love you."
"I love you too, but you still want her."
"No I was angry, you saw her smiling like that, and you told me last night she loved someone else, but for it to be my emotionless brother made me pissed."
"Inuyasha, by saying that, you showed me that you don't love me."
He grabbed her around the shoulders and held her close. She leaned into him, and whispered, "Can I keep you?"
"Always and forever."
A/N: ok this story will be cut short, well actually I planned out my ending from the beginning, but I thought it would last about eight chapters, instead the next chapter will be my last. Before I publish that extremely difficult chapter (as I have never fully ended a story like this) I will need a good amount of reviews before really having the want to do this. REVIEW!
