Chapter 9- When It All Seems Hopeless

The day was just about done. Kagome had stayed in the hut ever since morning. She absolutely refused to speak to Inuyasha. She was still angry with him for what had happened. He sat outside of the hut and waited for her to come to him. Regardless of that small chance. He had hoped by sending Sango and Miroku in there to calm her down that she'd just might come out and let him explain. But she had just sent them out as soon as they stepped in.

"Kagome..." he whispered to himself. He had raised his knees and rested both of his arms on top of them. He let out a sad sigh as he looked at the sky. The sun was beginning to set. The sky was a beautiful red color. Perfect to watch with the one that you loved. He wished that he was watching it with Kagome, but instead he watched it alone.

He snapped out of his thoughts when his demonic hearing heard movement in the hut. He moved closer to the wall of the hut and leaned his ear in it so that he could listen. He raised his head when he heard someone coming to the door. As soon as the door opened, Kagome had stepped out with her backpack on.

Inuyasha quickly got up to speak to her. "Kagome ..." He was swiftly cut off by her just as fast as he had said her name.

"I'm going home Inuaysha." she said flatly as she began to walk away from him.

Inuyasha's face went pale. He felt a pain in his chest when she spoke those words and he became overwhelmed with fear. 'No. She's leaving me? She can't just leave me. Not again.' "Kagome...your...your leaving me?" he choked out.

Kagome looked at him sympathetically. She almost forgot how sensitive her hanyou was and that he would take her words in the worst possibly way. She turned around to face him, giving him an assuring smile. "I'm not leaving you Inuyasha. I could never leave you. I love you too much."

Almost instantly, Inuyasha's color retured to normal. He let out a sigh of relief and walked towards his mate. "Then, why are you going home?" he asked.

"I need to go and think. Maybe we still can make some kind of agreement with your brother. Maybe we can still..." Inuyasha silenced her by placing his finger to her lips.

"Don't bother Kagome. He won't change his mind. He refused Testseiga for crying out loud!" he stated. He grasped Kagome by her shoulders and looked her in the eyes with the most serious look on his face. "We can't help her. The only way Sesshomaru may change his mind is if he didn't want her any more." he stated.

Kagome let out sad sigh as sat down in the grass. "Then it's hopeless. She's stuck with him because of me." She looked down at the ground as her eyes began to water.

He could smell her tears and he hated when she cried. Normally it was because of him, and in a way, it still was. "Kagome...?", he began as he took a seat next to her, "Please don't cry. You know it isn't your fault. If anything it's mine. I should have offered him the sword before Lana offered herself." He said sadly. His eyes widened as he felt her head rest on his shoulder. Her scent was calming to his nerves.

She looked up at him and smiled. "What the hell are you smiling about?" He asked as he looked at her strangely.

"Oh nothing...I just realized something is all." Her innocent smile quickly formed into a sly grin.

Inuyasha noticed this and was kind of scared to say the least. "And what realization is that?" he asked cautiously.

"Well, Lana isn't one to submit so easily to anyone. So how I figure it is that she'll probably get on his last nerves so bad that he'll be begging her to leave...or she'll just hurt him."she laughed at her last words.

"One problem though....once their mated he has no choice but to stay put with her." Inuyasha warned.

"Well he'll have to get her into bed with him first....unless..." Kagome trailed off at the thought of Lana's personal life. They had kept in touch through e-mailing the past few years. Lana would send her a picture of a new boyfriend almost every other month. They were all drop dead gorgeous and with Sesshomaru's looks and royal title, he matched the criterion.

Inuyasha noticed her blank stare. "Unless what Kagome?"

She looked off into the distance with her mouth slightly dropped. "...she actually starts to like him in that way."
