Disclaimer: I feel so tired of saying this repeatedly, so you get the point.

A/n: Heh... the funny thing about this is that I forgot what was supposed to be the reason Kagome cried. I hope that as I type this, I could get the info out of my head –hits head- ow... okay that did not work, but let us continue.

Last Time:

I held onto him. Tears started to form in my eyes. "Why?"

This Time:

As Inuyasha paced back and forth the room, the Yu Yu gang kept a close eye on him. They were not quite sure if they were to trust him or not. Apparently, Kurama was still in his daze.

He kept staring out the window, being ever so lifeless. "Kurama-kun..." He looked to see it was Keiko.

Keiko gasped as she saw into his eyes. It was so lifeless... so... so much malice that touched the usual kind boy's eyes. She was never close to Kurama, but she knew this is not a normal expression for him. "D-daijobou desu ka?" (A-are you alright?)

Kurama just looked back and calmly said, "Iie, Keiko-chan." Keiko acted uncertain. (No, Keiko.)

"Well, is there anything we could do, Kurama-kun?" asked Keiko concerned.

"Nothing can be done. I had sworn to protect her, and Karasu..." Hatred dripped into his voice as he pronounced his enemy's name. "Karasu took her away!" He punched the window, which shattered at the compact of Kurama's fist.

Keiko took a step back and gasped. That scared her. "Whoa! Kurama, please don't scare Keiko like that!" Yusuke shouted. He stood in front of Keiko protectively.

"Gomen, Keiko-chan, Yusuke," said Kurama, apologizing not even bothering to glance at them. (sorry, Keiko, Yusuke)

Yusuke feeling concerned a bit, said, "Kurama, there must be a way to get her back."

"There's only one way, Yusuke, and you can't help," said the youko.

"Don't say that, Kurama."

"Yes, there must be a way for us to help you, Kurama-kun," joined in Keiko.

Kurama would have smiled, but he did not. "Arigato gozaimasu, Yusuke, Keiko, demo... watashi no toraburu desu." (Thank you, Yusuke, Keiko, but... this is my problem) He stood up. "I'll meet you all later."

As Kurama shut the door, Kuwabara asked himself, "Hm... that girl must be quite important to him."

"Baka, did it take you that long?" (Guess who)

KARASU 'n' KAGOME

"Karasu, tell me why you did that," cried Kagome. "Why'd you leave me?"

Karasu looked at her speechless. "Kagome..." He looked very uncertain. "I didn't want you to get hurt. I wanted you to stay--..."

"But, I've always wanted to stay by your side! Didn't you know I cared about you?!" Tears trailed down Kagome's cheeks, as her sobs echoed in the room.

Karasu, ashamed, took off, saying, "I'm sorry, Kagome."

Kagome fell down to the comfortable bed, crying loudly. Few minutes later, her sobs weakened and fell asleep, saying, "I love you, K......" (Hah! I will not tell you people!)
