Ch. 4: Hojo's Wishes Granted and Inuyasha's Squashed

Previously…

"Thank you Hojo. Maybe I wont get sick as much this year. I am pretty sure I will feel a lot better." I hugged him and he got all swirly-eyed. It was funny. He must really like me, like I liked Inuyasha. But that was over and I knew it.

We departed and I smiled at him. "Umm… hey Kagome..? Would you ever, you know, consider going out with me? You know, to the movies or something..?" Hojo said in a shy but sincere voice. I nodded. Maybe things would be better if I got to know Hojo better. Maybe I would like him…His eyes lit up and we went our separate ways.

After school, I met up with Hojo and he walked me home. I was actually excited about seeing him this time. I always knew he like me but I never felt the same way about him till now. We talked about the date and what I wanted to do. Also, about what I had been up to lately and how much I was sick. (A/N: lolx)

We arrived at my house and Hojo, being the gentleman he is, opened the door for me. Inuyasha never did that… O well, Inuyasha is part of my past now. I walked into the kitchen with Hojo and saw Inuyasha talking with my mother. "Inuyasha! What are you doing here! Shouldn't you be with your precious Kikyou?" I said in a rude obnoxious way to make him feel bad.

Inuyasha looked at me, then Hojo. He sweat-dropped. "So I see you have a new boyfriend..?" he said in a sort of disappointed voice. I said yes by grabbing Hojo's hand. "So I guess it wouldn't help you forgive me if I said I was sorry and that I- I love you?" I shook my head. I felt bad because it looked like Inuyasha was about to cry. He seemed to have finally figured out how I had loved him and he loved me. And then I shot him down in his greatest moment. I couldn't help but feel bad but he had broken my heart as I did his we were even…

Inuyasha's POV

As Kagome said she would not forgive me for being so dumb, my heart shattered. I felt a hole, an empty space inside of me that was always filled. I guess I never knew how must she really meant to me until I lost her. I am such an idiot. I show have known! It was up to me to find out, not her to tell me. Why would she have gotten upset about seeing me and Kikyou so many times if she did not like me as more than a friend? WHERE WAS MY BRAIN!

I quickly got back to reality. Kagome was still holding Hojo's hand and it was killing me. Sadly I said, "I guess I understand. I heart for a heart… Could I just speak to you for a second before I leave and never see you again? It would mean a lot to me if you would." "Sure, whatever. I'll be right back Hojo." She said coldly. We walked out of the house and down to the Shrine.

"What did you want to talk about Inuyasha?" Kagome said in a more calm voice.

"Well, I wanted to tell you something… I love you. I know I did the same to you but you broke my heart. It took me this long to figure it out but I do love you Kagome. And nothing can change that. Ever since Kikyou died, thing changed. She is not the same… I don't love her anymore. It is you who I really love… Please Kagome, please forgive me."

"Inuyasha, nothing will ever be the same between us. You have broken my heart and I broke yours in return. Not intentionally, but I did. Things will never be the same between us either. I will miss you but I like Hojo and he has always liked me. I am going to go out with him this weekend. The thing is, with you, I can't be myself. I can't be in my own time. You can't be in my time. I need someone who I can relate to and Hojo is that person. I can forgive you Inuyasha but I no longer love you as I did for so long… I am sorry."

With that, Kagome left and Hojo walked out the front door with her. I was left broken hearted and unable to comprehend what had just happened. I just stood there, not thinking about moving, not wanting to move. My body was numb.

(A/N: OHH! So sad. Inuyasha broken hearted, Kagome hooking up with Hojo, what next. 0.0 R&R plz. I'll try and update ASAP. 33)
