Chapter 8: forgiveness

Kagome sat in the front seat of her moms Mercedes. An awkward silence floated in the car, and all Kagome did was stare out the window.Why did I do that to Inuyasha? If I really cared I wouldn't have given a second thought to what dog-boy had to say. Does this mean I don't care? Wait, what am I thinking, of course I care I love Inuyasha; I just couldn't betray the other one. Kagome got out of the car and went up to her room, and slammed the door shut. Kagome marched over to her bulletin board and ripped off the picture of the real Inuyasha. "This is your entire fault! You ruined everything between Inuyasha and me!" She screamed at the picture, while tears streamed down her cheeks.

Kagome crinkled the picture up and threw it in the trash can next to her desk. Then she changed into her pajamas and collapsed on her huge bed. How come everything good in my life gets ruined. Kagome fell asleep and dreamed about the real Inuyasha.

"Kagome, I'm sorry, but you have to understand I love you." The boy said to her.

"How come you can't just leave me alone? I am not in love with you and I never will be! I love the Inuyasha that's living with me not you so leave me alone!" Kagome screamed at him. The boy looked down at his feet then disappeared. Kagome knew she had lied, but she was so frustrated about how she had hurt Inuyasha at the party. It wasn't his fault I hadn't kissed Inuyasha. The only person who I can honestly blame is myself. Why does my life have to be so messed up?

Inuyasha sat on his bed; he couldn't sleep too many thoughts rushed around his head. That's when he heard the real Inuyasha's voice.

"You aren't real, the only reason you love Kagome is because you're a part of me! The only reason you love her is because I do." Inuyasha yelled at his human self.

"No you're wrong, I am real, and what I feel is real." The human yelled.

"The only reason you are even here, the only reason you have even met her is because of me. You will bring her back to me like you were made to do, or I will take you out of this world." The hanyou said then his voice went away and Inuyasha was alone in the room once again. Kagome deserves to know about her past, I can't keep delaying I'll tell her as soon as I get the chance. Maybe Inuyasha is right maybe my whole life is just an illusion.

Kagome got up early the next morning and got dressed. She wasn't ready to face Inuyasha yet. So she was trying to avoid him at al costs. When she was ready she went downstairs and walked outside. The sky was dark still, and the wind whipped her pale cheeks. That's when Kagome thought she saw the silver hair Inuyasha walking towards her. He can't be here, He's not even real! Kagome could barely breathe. Inuyasha wrapped his arms around her. No this isn't happening I made this boy up when I was little. What is happening to me am I losing my mind? Kagome opened her eyes; she was lying in her bed. She glanced at the clock and saw it was five in the morning. She immediately got up and got dressed. Then she raced outside to see if the half-demon was waiting for her.

When she was outside she saw a shadowy figure, but it was too dark to see who he was. The person turned around and began to walk towards Kagome. As the person got closer Kagome realized it was the human Inuyasha walking towards her. Oh crap, I'm not ready to face him. Her heart started beating faster and faster. Why did I go outside? Inuyasha wrapped his arms around her and whispered, "I'm sorry"

"What should you be sorry for, I'm the one who is sorry do you forgive me?"

"Of course." He replied.

"What are you even doing out here?" she asked

"I couldn't sleep; I thought the cold air would help." He answered

"Same here."

Kagome walked back inside and pulled the picture out of here trashcan. She unwrinkled it and stuck it back on to her bulletin board. At least one of the Inuyasha's isn't mad at me. Kagome let out a long sigh, and sat down on her bed. Forgiveness is al I need.
