Hi again this is the second chapter of tainted heart. lets hope Kagome can keep it together and come up with a plan to get Inuyasha heart back while trying to figure out what naraku is really up too.

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyashapar

Forget me not, Inu-Yasha!

That evening the gang went to the next village without saying a single word. well except Shippo who was complaing on how hungery he was. By the time the gang had arrived to the village it was dark out and eveyone in the village was already sleep so the gang made camp in the near by woods.

"Ok this spot is perfect how bout Sango and Keylala start the fire, Shippo and I will gather wood, kagome get some water from the river, and Inuyasha catch us 7 fish and kik-" Miroku was saying till kikyo walked off towars the village with soul collectors.

" I have bussiness to tend to I will be back shortly" Kikyo said with a little coldness in her voice which told the gang not to follow her. With that she left and so did everyone else to do there little jobs.

In the forrest with Shippo and Miroku

" So miroku why did you make both Inuyasha and Kagome go to the river when Kikyo is here?" Shippo asked as he picked up some wood with his little hands.

"Well you see Shippo I thought maybe I could give them a little time alone to talk" Miroku said in a 'know it all' voice.

"What could they need to talk about I mean Inuyasha the type to keep quite from Kagome while Kikyo near" Shippo said as he looked up to see Miroku didn't pick up a single piece of wood." Hey! Miroku you have to help get the wood too or i'll tell Sango on you!" This really caught Miroku off graud as he picked up as much wood as he could carry as the returned to camp

At the river with Kagome and Inuyasha

The whole way niether of them said a word to eachother.Kagome went a little ways away from Inuyasha to get the water while Inuyasha went in the river to get the fish.

"Um Inuyasha can I ask you a question" Kagome asked looking at him since she ws done getting water.

"I gusse" was all he said but still wouldn't look at her.

"Why did...why did you let Kikyo come along without asking us first?" she said sounding hurt at the fact he wouldn't look at her.

"I don't know, I mean she was all alone and I couldn't let her go after Naraku alone" he said not sure if that was the answer Kagome was looking for or not.i 'why didn't i ask my friends if she could join'

" Oh...ok i gusse" Kagome said little upset he didn't tell her the truth. " Inuyasha I know whenever Kikyo is near you never look at me cause you see her in me, but I don't like it when you don't talk to me or even look at me so can you do a favor a treat me like you usally do. It makes me feel as if you don't see me and I know you can. So please look at me like you any other time we have been together ok." with that being said Kagome got up from her spot at the river to help Inuyasha carry the fish back to the gang.

At camp

When they returned to camp they saw Kikyo walking back as well. Everyone sat down to eat and said very few words, then eveyone went to bed. Kikyo slept near a tree with Inuyasha not far over from her. Miroku slept with back leaned on a log while Sango and Keylala slept in a sleep bag near Shippo and Kagome. Kagome was however still awake loking at the dieing fire. Sango woke up to see Kagome wide awake so she moved closer so they could talk.

" I know seeing Kikyo is making you up set. I mean Inuyasha is sleeping closer to her than he does to you. How can you put up with him two-timing you like this? And you knew didn't you, you knew the shard you sensed belonged to Kikyo when we were outside the forest this morning. That is why you looked so sad and didn't want to tell Inuyasha," Sango said as she looked at Kagome sad brown eyes and knew she was correct.

kagome looked a Inuyasha sleeping face and smiledly sadly at Sango."yeah I knew it was her and Inuyasha was going to pick up her scent anways. I knew that Inuyasha and Kikyo have a strong bond, but I thought maybe there was still hope for me. Even though I know I know Inuyasha love me he love Kikyo more and I tried to tell myself to stop loving him, but i just can't Sango I just can't." Kagome started to say but ended up cryin in Sango's lap.

" Kagome it will be ok besides you also have a bond with Inuyasha and just as see Kikyo's bond she can see yours. Stay strong Kagome besides it could be a faze I mean he dosen't see as much as you so right now she wins this round."

"Wins?" Kagome asked confused while tilting her head.

"yeah Kagome it kinda like a match for Inuyasha. You just have to stay strong because remember there still that 'thing' between them over there past that is holding Inuyasha back from her alittle them and that will give you the lead you need ok." Sango giggled and Kagome joined in. "By the way the score is0 to 1" she said with a smirk.

Kagome stoped giggling and said " let the games begin" she said returning the smirk as the two girls went to bed.

Well that was chapter two. The next chapter Kagome and Kikyo battle it out and Naraku pulls a little suprise out for the gang. OH and to all readers I will try to updated at least 1 time this week. Sorry butI have alot of homework and school clubs to do. Till next time
