Chapter Two

As Kagome packed her soiled clothes in her bag she looked over to a nearby stream where Sango and Miroku were sitting side by side. A sweet smile crept up on her face as she thought 'what a cute couple they make.' As soon as she looked away to close her bag she heard Sango yell. "Hentai! Keep your hands to yourself houshi!" She looked back over just as Sango gave the monk a hard slap to the face. All you could hear for miles was the echoing sound of Sangos hand to Mirokus skin in a non-too gentle, way. Kagome sighed as Sango stomped away from the perverted monk. She decided to go and help the mink with his lecherous ways of getting women, so she walked over to him.

"You know Miroku, she probably wouldn't hit you if you did as she said and kept your hands off."

"Yeah, I know, but I just can't help it. I get so impatient with romance if she doesn't even care for me."

"I bet you could if you actually tried, and kept yourself contained enough, that she would come to you. You're not getting anywhere with what you're doing now. And I know for a fact that she really does like you. Just give it a chance."

"Really? Okay, I'll try it. Thank you Lady Kagome."

With that she walked away to find Sango. As she was walking she noticed that InuYasha was nowhere to be seen. 'I guess he went for a walk or something' she thought to herself. She then noticed Sango sitting on a rock with an angry look on her face. Her face was the deepest shade of red with a blush, and her brow was furrowed as she sat mumbling something in an angry tone. As Kagome neared the fuming taijiya, she began to be able to make out some of what she was saying. "Stupid Houshi, never changes, that bloody pervert. Can't keep his hands off, never learns." The rest was to low for Kagome to decipher.

" I take it you're really angry. You know he means well. He would never try to purposely upset you."

" He's just so, so, so, perverted. And he never listens, he never gets it that I don't want him to be inappropriately touching me."

" He really does love you, you know. He's just to used to being undervalued."

" Yeah, I just wish he would stop doing that and be romantic for once. I know he can do it. But he always screws it up with his hands!"

" I think you should give him one more chance. For me! Because you guys look so cute together."

" Hmm, I guess I could. Okay Kagome, I'll try."

Kagome just smiled and got up to walk away.

" Hey Sango, have you seen InuYasha anywhere? I haven't seen him all morning."

" No, but if I see him I'll tell him you're looking for him."

" Okay, thanks."

InuYasha POV

'Where is she? I can smell her around here but where is she?'

InuYasha looked around frantically, searching for the one he smelled. She was there, he knew that for sure, but where?

" InuYasha, I've found you. At long last you have come to me."

InuYasha spun around to see Kikyou standing behind him with her arms out.

" Ki-Kikyou, It is you. How did you… Why did you… Why are you here? Wouldn't you rather be with Naraku?"

" InuYasha, I love you, as I always have and always will."

" You bitch! How could you say that, after you tried to kill me! I loved you and you repaid me by pinning me to that tree for 50 years!"

" InuYasha I'm sorry, I love you, I made a terrible mistake and I never should have let you go. Please forgive me, come back to me."

She now had tears streaming down her pale cheeks as she ran towards him with her arms open, ready to embrace him with all the love in her heart that she could muster up. As her arms wrapped around his waist she held him close to her. InuYasha simply looked down at her with shock. He truly did love this woman but somehow, it was different. She had hugged him since she was brought back to life but this time, he felt differently about her. He didn't love her in that way any more. She was distant from him. Kikyou noticed this in him and looked up at his face. It was full of sorrow and pity, but not of love, no, not love. As she put her head back down she realized that she must leave him. And this time, she would leave for good. But she wanted one last embrace before she left him.

" Please, InuYasha, please just hold me one more time, and then I will leave you."

This surprised InuYasha but he understood and complied.

" You know I can't come with you. I'm needed here"

" Yes, I understand. But please just let me feel your love just one more time before I go, Just so I can remember you how I always have, with love."

" Alright, one last time to remember eachother by."

He wrapped his arms around her tightly and took in every minute of his last meeting with her.

Okay that's all for now because I'm getting tired. I've been out shopping for school supplies all day and it really wore me out. This is 3 full pages on word. I hope you liked it and remember to R & R. It's really not that hard, just click on the little purple but and write if you thought it was good or that it was a piece of crap and not worth your time to read it.
