Breaking Point
Inuyasha and Moyuru's kiss was cut short as Inuyasha abruptly pulled away.
"What is it?" Moyuru asked, looking to him in question.
"I thought I heard something." he replied.
Kagome tried to get up but found herself unable to force her legs to lift her. She was stunned, crushed, heart-broken. What would she do now? Inuyasha was leaving her? Was that what he had wanted to say all day? He wanted to tell her that he was going to leave her for Moyuru?
"Kagome?" she heard a shocked voice say.
She let out a startled gasp before looking up to see Inuyasha standing beside her, looking to her in surprise. She quickly forced herself to stand, wordlessly looking to him with a pained look in her eyes. She voiced her question after a moment, "Why Inuyasha? You promised!" she shouted sounding crushed.
Moyuru stood by, nearly looking guilty. She hadn't wanted Kagome to find out like this. She knew Kagome's feelings had been hurt and she felt responsible.
"Kagome--" Inuyasha began.
Kagome cut him off, "Why did you lie to me?" she demanded. Her emotions were spiraling out of control! She was hurt, angry, and sad all at once! How could he do this to her? "You promised!" she shouted again.
The miko turned to run, "Kagome, wait!" Inuyasha yelled, quickly grabbing her wrist.
She suddenly whirled, "Let me go!" she cried, her hand coming across his face.
His head jerked to the side and he just stared into space for a moment, a clearly shocked expression on his face. Moyuru looked surprised as well.
"You lied to me!" Kagome yelled as she took advantage of the shock she had put him in to jerk her wrist free of his grasp. She once again began to run, tears streaming from her eyes.
Inuyasha began after her, "Kagome!" he shouted.
"Stop following me!" she yelled back.
"Kagome wait! Let me explain!" he begged as he continued after her.
"SIT!" she commanded in nearly a scream as she came to a stop.
He was suddenly jerked down by the prayer beads around his neck, this time falling extra hard. The fall nearly knocked the wind out of him and left quite a hole in the ground.
He looked up to see Kagome standing over him, "Leave me alone! You've done enough!" she growled as she glared down at him through tears.
Inuyasha had never seen her so angry in his entire life! He coughed a few times as he began to pick himself up.
"Are you alright?" Moyuru asked as she neared him. She turned her attention to Kagome. She hadn't wanted things to be like this. "Kagome, it's not--"
Moyuru's sentence died as Kagome sent and uncharacteristic glare her way. "You, you lied to me too! You told me nothing was going on!" she shouted.
Moyuru opened her mouth to say something but didn't even get the chance.
"You really can't do anything but mess things up! This is your fault!" Kagome yelled angrily, clearly not thinking about what she was saying. She was too distraught to just take this quietly like she had in the past. She had taken it quietly with Kikyou for a while, but this was the last straw. All of the anger a frustration she had felt during that time with Kikyou was coming out on Moyuru now.
Moyuru flinched at her harsh words, they had hurt her worse than any physical blow. She had tried to disregard what her father had beat into her all those years. She had tried to forget all those hurtful comments and it seemed to work for a while, but now hearing it from someone she had considered to be a friend. It really hurt.
"Stop it Kagome! It's not her fault!" Inuyasha yelled indignantly as he began to get up.
"Sit!" Kagome commanded again. She followed it with even more sit commands.
Inuyasha couldn't do a thing to stop her, these sits were worse than any of the others she had ever yelled at him before. The prayer bead necklace felt as though it could take his head off! She finally stopped and he just lay there, "Good-bye Inuyasha, I'm going home!" she shouted moodily before storming off.
"Fine!" Inuyasha yelled as he stared off after her. She probably hated him now. His cheek hurt, not so much form how hard she had slapped him, but because it had been her hand to do it. He didn't mean for her to find out the way she did. He didn't expect this kind of reaction either.
He nearly jumped when Moyuru spoke, "I'm sorry." she said softly, her head hung low.
Inuyasha turned back to her once he had managed to sit up, he knew that what Kagome said had hurt her feelings.
"Don't be." Inuyasha stated grumpily, beginning to get up. It was so out of character for Kagome to say that! Regardless of what he did, she souldn't have taken out some of her anger on Moyuru.
"This is all my fault, I shouldn't have imposed." Moyuru stated, her eyes focused on the ground.
"No, it's not your fault. You didn't do anything wrong." Inuyasha stated, "She'll get over it."
Kagome didn't even try to hide her feelings as she made it back to the village to get her things. She haphazardly threw her personal items into her bag, leaving the medicine for Kaede to help the villagers with.
"Kagome? What's wrong, why are you so upset?" Sango asked worriedly as Kagome shouldered the pack.
"I don't want to talk about it. I'm going home for a while." Kagome answered quickly.
"Going home already? Are you coming back?" Shippo asked. He didn't know what he would do if Kagome left for good. The sad thing was, he would probably cry.
"Don't worry, I'll come back, I just need some time at home." Kagome replied in a falsely optomistic tone.
The rest of them watched the miko as she began to walk off. "Does Inuyasha know you're leaving?" Sango asked.
"Oh, he knows alright." Kagome said spitefully as she paused for a moment, "Tell him not to even bother coming after me, I'll come back when I feel like it."
Shippo looked to be a bit shocked. Kagome had never really acted like this before! What was wrong? Had she and Inuyasha gotten into another fight again. The kit just watched his mother figure as she continued to walk off. What had Inuyasha done this time? If she didn't come back then it would be his fault!
"Inuyasha and Kagome must've gotten into it again." Sango stated speaking Shippo's thoughts.
Miroku nodded, "He wasn't exactly in the best of moods and we all know how Inuyasha gets when he's angry."
"He probably just said the wrong thing. Kagome'll get over it." Shippo agreed, though he sounded more like he were trying to convince himself. Kagome seemed really mad this time, worse than usual. No one had seen her this mad since before Kikyo died.
No sooner had the kit made the comment than Inuyasha and Moyuru both approached them. Neither one of them said a word as they seated themselves. Oh, I see, Kagome must have found out about Inuyasha and Moyuru. Miroku thought as he looked to Inuyasha, his clothes having dirt on them and his face with a big red hand print on it.
"Whoa, what happened to you Inuyasha?" Shippo questioned.
"What do you think?" Inuyasha prompted moodily though he didn't look mad.
"Kagome went home." Shippo said quietly.
"I know, and she can stay there for all I care!" Inuyasha snapped, "I'm not with Kagome anymore! She can stay there and take all her damn sit commands with her!"
The rest of them looked to be in shock. Not with Kagome anymore! But those two had always been together!
"But Inuyasha-" Shippo began.
"I told you I don't care!" Inuyasha growled, cutting him off.
"Inuyasha, don't get mad at him." a quiet female voice said.
Inuyasha looked back to Moyuru and his face softened. It was all in her expression, she thought that this was all her fault and she didn't want anyone mad at anyone else. What Kagome had said had really gotten to her, she had been so quiet since then.
Moyuru kept her gaze focused on the ground as she had so many other times before, her mood more downcast than it had been. "Forget about what Kagome said, it wasn't true." Inuyasha said quietly to her.
She lifted her gaze to look at him, was it that obvious that that was what she had been thinking on?
"What Kagome said?" Shippo echoed. Inuyasha turned his attention back to him,
"Yeah, she's not exactly as great as you people make her out to be." he stated, though the statement didn't sound as though he meant it.
"What'd she say to make you so mad at her?" the kit questioned.
"She got mad at Moyuru, told her she couldn't do anything but mess things up." Inuyasha answered.
The rest of the gang seemed shocked. Kagome had never done anything like that before! It just wasn't like her to say things like that, even without thinking! "Are you sure that's what she said?" Sango asked, looking surprised.
"Of course I'm sure." Inuyasha grumbled indignantly.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean for this to happen. . . I-" Moyuru started.
Inuyasha cut her off, "I told you, don't worry about what Kagome said."
There was an awkward silence between all of them. This was all just so different, Kagome getting mad and saying things like that, and Inuyasha breaking things off with her to go with Moyuru. It was too much of a change too fast. The air was just too tense.
Sango suddenly went rigid, her eyes going wide.
"Sango, what's wrong?" Shippo asked.
Everyone's attention turned to her as her expression turned to anger, "Of all the times Miroku!" she growled, slapping the monk hard across the cheek.
Miroku let out a small yelp of pain, but just wore a dumb smile after the handprint showed up bright red on his cheek, "Now it looks as though Inuyasha and I match." he said.
Moyuru managed a small smile. He was goofy, she'd give him that much.
I see, so he's not all pervert, he was trying to cheer her up. Sango thought, managing a small smile herself.
So, what about it? Still interesting you all now that I've officially broke up Inuyasha and Kagome? How long will they stay apart? Don't worry, I got this whole thing planned out so before you jump on me and beat me to death screaming that my summary was misleading, read the rest of the story. Anyway, A preview for the next chapter!
PREVIEW!
Chapter 21: Naraku Resurfaces
Well, it's now the first day without Kagome. Inuyasha as well as the rest of them feel that it's just too quiet without her, though it looks like they won't have to worry about the silence too much longer. Naraku's back with another devious plot and Inuyasha and the gang have no idea what he could be planning.
Must get to doing more typing! More! I think I've done too much already. . . -sigh-
TTFN!
