Previously – Kagome and Hojo went out on another date to the carnival. When they got back Hojo leaned in to kiss Kagome and she accepted, mean while in a tree above a hurt hanyou stared bewildered at the sight below him.
Heartaches and tears
Inuyasha had just witnessed something horrible, he had seen many many horrible things but this would have to be the worst. He saw the woman he loved kiss another man. Inuyasha was hurt badly by this sight, he became angry and hateful towards Hojo and furious with Kagome. Well, I can see I'm not needed here. Inuyasha thought as his ears flattened against the top of his head. Inuyasha jumped from the tree he was sitting on and landed on top of the shack the well was in. (A/N I didn't know what to call the structure the well is in :S!) Kagome had heard the rustling of leaves above her.
"Oh no!" she whispered as she broke away from Hojo's kiss.
"Oh no what?" Hojo asked with a confused look on his face. He was hurt by the fact that Kagome had broken their kiss, but was even more confused to way. He didn't hear or see anything. I bet she is feeling sick Hojo thought to himself.
"You have to leave now!" Kagome said sternly as she got up.
"What? Why?" asked Hojo, he was sad that Kagome had asked him to leave so suddenly.
"Please Hojo, I'll explain later!" begged Kagome.
"Alright" Hojo said as he walked off. Oh god, Inuyasha please don't let it be you! Kagome thought, she desperately wanted to see Inuyasha but not like this.
"Inuyasha….Inuyasha?" called Kagome.
"What do you want now wench?" asked a familiar voice. Oh no! Kagome cried to herself, then she realized that Inuyasha was spying on her.
"Why were you spying on mea?" asked Kagome in an angered tone.
"Feh, why would I spy on you?" Inuyasha growled. "I have Kikiyo remember!" he snapped back.
"How dare you!" gasped Kagome as she lifted her hand and slapped Inuyasha. "How dare you say that to me!" cried Kagome. Her eyes were now filled with tears. "I want you to leave now!" shouted Kagome.
"Kagome…." Inuyasha said softly. He was still shocked that Kagome had hit him.
"Inuyasha leave!" replied Kagome as she turned her back to Inuyasha. Kagome couldn't fight back her tears any longer, they started to fall down her face and her eyes were red.
"Kagome…I'm sorry I didn't mean to say that!" Inuyasha said heartbroken as he placed his hand on Kagome's shoulder. You idiot! Why did you say that! Shouted a voice in Inyasha's head. Kagome shrugged off Inuyasha's hand off her shoulder.
"Sorry for what!" Kagome shouted as she ran towards her house. Inuyasha could see the tears falling off her face as she ran away.
"Dam it!" muttered Inuyasha as he ran after her. Inuyasha managed to get in front of Kagome before she could reach the door. Inuyasha saw that her face was tearstained and her eyes were as red as his Hiori.
"Get out of my way!" cried Kagome.
"Wait that came out wrong." Inuyasha replied in a small voice.
"What came out wrong? The truth!" Kagome shouted, she began to cry even harder. Inuyasha's eyes were now filled with hurt. He couldn't look Kagome in the eyes anymore. He hated to see her crying, and the worst thing was that he had caused it.
"You truly believed I kissed Kikiyo don't you?" Inuyasha said softly as he looked down at his feet.
"Truly believe?" Kagome asked in disbelief. "I saw you with her! Are you saying I was hallucinating or something? I saw you with my own two eyes Inuyasha!" she shouted. Inuyasha winced at the sound of Kagome yelling. His ears flattened against his head yet again.
"What I mean is that I didn't kiss her back." Inuyasha simply said. He raised his head and looked Kagome straight in the eyes.
"What…what do you mean?" asked Kagome. She had stopped crying at this point. She couldn't believe what she just heard. He didn't kiss her back! She shouted joyfully in her head.
"I mean Kikiyo forced herself upon me to make it look as thought I were kissing her, she could sense your presence" Inuyasha said. He wasn't sure if Kagome would believe him, because she can be so stubborn sometimes.
"Oh Inuyasha!" sighed Kagome as she hugged him. Inuyasha backed away, he truly wanted to hold her but he couldn't.
"You stink like Hojo!" Inuyasha muttered. Kagome didn't hear his muttering though.
"What's wrong?" She asked Inuyasha.
"What's wrong!" He growled. "I saw you and your little friend Hojo kissing! That's what's wrong!" Inuyasha shouted.
"I was afraid of that!" sighed Kagome. "Now you know how it feels!" Kagome replied.
"Know how it feels! I never actually kissed Kikiyo!" Inuyasha shouted. They were both very hurt by one another.
"Well sorry if I'm not the type that sticks around when can plainly see I'm not wanted!" Kagome shouted back.
You are wanted! I want you! Inuyasha thought. "That's not that point! The point is you kissed that other guy!" Inuyasha growled.
"Well maybe none of this would have happened if you hadn't gone to see Kikiyo!" Kagome shouted, she began to cry once again. Her tears streamed down her face. She pushed Inuyasha our of the way and ran inside.
"Dam it!" growled Inuyasha. Kagome slammed the door shut behind her and ran up to her room. Sota saw that something was wrong but wasn't sure why.
"Kagome?" Sota said as he watched his sister run up to her room. Kagome didn't hear her brother, she didn't really want too. She was too hurt by they argument Inuyasha and herself had. Kagome ran into her room and jumped on her bed. She began to cry hard into her pillow. Kagome's mom had hears her daughters cries and went to see what was wrong.
"What's the matter dear?" Mrs.Higurashi asked Kagome as she walked into her room.
"Oh mom!" cried Kagome. "Inuyasha he is such a jerk!" Kagome cried as she ran into her mother's arms. Inuyasha had heard his name and went to see what was wrong. He jumped into Kagome's room to see her crying and telling her mother the whole story of why she had come home and that Inuyasha had seen her kiss Hojo. Mrs.Higurashi had seen Inuyasha jump into the room; she just motioned for him to sit down.
"Well, Kagome I think that Inuyasha truly is sorry or he would never have come here to make things right." Mrs.Higurashi said.
"I know, but it still hurts every time I see him with Kikiyo! He doesn't know how much I care for him!" Kagome said. Inuyasha had heard himself that Kagome truly did love him, his face burned with embarrassment and delight.
"Well, I don't think you know how much he cares for you!" Mrs.Higurashi whispered. There was a silent growl from Inuyasha but he slightly nodded his head at the same time.
"Do you really think that mom?" Kagome asked happily. She was happy that there was still some hope that Inuyasha loved her.
"Yes" Mrs.Higurashi replied. "Now I'm going to go make supper, you tell your friend over there he can stay!" She said as she winked at Kagome and pointed to Inuyasha.
"What?" asked Kagome confused. She turned around to see Inuyasha sitting on the floor, he was blushing like crazy. "Inuyasha!" Kagome said while blushing. "How…how long have you been there? Mom, how long has he been there?" Kagome asked as she turned around to find that her mother was gone.
"Umm…Kagome, did you really mean that….you know about me?" Inuyasha asked shyly. He was still blushing a great deal.
"Well, umm….I guess it is!" Kagome replied as she dropped her gaze to the floor and her face turned red. She hated to admit it, but she didn't want to lie any longer. She was sick of fighting with Inuyasha.
"Kagome!" Inuyasha said softly as he walked up to her and hugged her tightly. "Kagome, I l…love you too!" He whispered.
"Umm…..K…Kagome….supper is…ummm…ready" Sota said. His face was red with embarrassment.
"Sota!" gasped Kagome, as she broke free from Inuysaha's grasp. "Have you ever hear of knocking!" She shouted at her younger brother.
"Umm…." Sota replied. He quickly ran out of the room. He hated when Kagome was angry. Why did I have to tell them it was supper? He thought as he stomped down the stairs. Kagome and Inuyasha walked down stairs, they hoped Sota wouldn't say anything.
"Sota, come here" Inuyasha said as he walked into the next room.
"Yes?" Sota said happily. He was always glad to be with Inuyasha. Inuyasha was his hero.
"What you saw up there, that was nothing right." Inuyasha said winking at Sota. Inuyasha hoped Sota would catch on to that he wanted it to remain a secret.
"I got ya!" Sota said as he winked back, "A secret!" He whispered.
"Yes, a secret!" Inuyasha said with a smile on his face. Now that, that was settled they could sit down and eat in peace. Sota gave up his chair so that Inuyasha could sit beside Kagome. Inuyasha slightly blushed but took the offer anyway. Everyone ate in scilence not sure what to expect for Inuyasha and Kagome, Sota ever once and a while took a quick glance at his sister with Inuyasha. He felt so special knowing that Inuyasha and Kagome truly care for one another very deeply.
