Disclaimer- I do not own Inuyasha.

A/N: Chapter seven! Thanks for the ONE review last chapter (I LOVE YOU!), at least I know someone likes this and NOW I won't have to immediately delete it.

(Kag's POV)

Memories... That's all I can think of right now, memories. Kikyo and I, we're not eating. It seems we're questioning one another if Inuyasha will live or not. How should poor Kikyo know? If I don't, she sure as hell won't.

"How've you and Inuyasha been?" Kikyo asked, her eyes never leaving mine. It was a clash between her gray blue and my chocolate brown.

"We've been… fine it would seem..." I told her.

"Did he say anything to you before he passed out?" She seemed to have some hidden hope in her voice, like she wanted him to have said something about her.

"He told me he loved me." I said quietly but immediately. Her eyes widened slightly but then they quickly went back to their originality.

"That's wonderful." She said distantly and she took a sip of her coffee.

"I'm glad he told me that before he... Oh wait," I smiled slightly. "He didn't die yet." Kikyo placed a hand over mine but I pulled it away angrily.

"Kagome," She said in pity. I spit on that word, I hate it. Sympathy is much better than pity. How could she know what I was going through? She isn't his wife, I am. I'm Inuyasha's wife God dammit! I began to cry out of anger and sadness.

"I can't take this," I said quietly as my shoulders shook. I have to tell her how angry I am at her. "Kikyo,"

"What is it?" She asked me.

"I love you... but I hate you too." I whispered. She gasped but I knew she understood. "You're one of my best friends but I can't stand you! All my married years with Inuyasha have been in fear of losing him to you." I stopped crying and wiped my face. "Kikyo," I said with a shuddery breath. "I will always resent you and that is so wrong of me."

"No Kago..." I cut her off.

"Yes Kiki, it is. You had him first," I smiled sadly with a shrug. "You will always be his first love, his only love. I think that now, I can accept that."

"No Kagome. You can't accept that. He loved you long before we even went out and you know that. Something in you knows that." She said. "Trust me; it's not easy for me to say that." She laughed sadly and my eyes screwed up with sympathy, I knew how she felt. "But it's true, I will always love him... he just never loved me." She took another sip to try to cover up her tears but it didn't work.

"Kikyo, he did love you." I told her reassuringly even though it killed me. "He will always love you. End of discussion." She laughed quietly.

"Fine... for now." She said jokingly. Suddenly, Dr. Wolf was behind Kikyo.

"Hello again," He sat down beside Kikyo and folded his hands. "Inuyasha has woken from his coma and is now sleeping, yes there's a difference." Kikyo and I smiled gently at our answered question. "Now we can work on him to try to find out where he's internally bleeding and to see what the full damage is." He smiled slightly. "Did you pray or somethin?" He joked and we both laughed.

"Maybe we should try." Kikyo said in a relieved voice. "Thank you Dr. Wolf."

"Kouga, please."

"Honestly, thank you." I said to him. He chuckled quietly.

"But I didn't do anything. It was all Inuyasha; he's the one that woke up. Now, we're still not sure he'll pull through; he's not doing so well. We'll try our best though." Then got up and left Kikyo and I with some amount of hope.

"Yay," We both breathed out. Kikyo giggled quietly and her gaze went slightly up. "Sesshomaru..." She whispered and I turned.

"Oh gosh… Hi Sesshomaru, how are you?" I asked him. Inuyasha's half brother was rude, cold, mean and more. But when it came to family, he really did care. Even if it was strange how he showed it.

"I'm fine. Where is he?" He asked in a fierce tone.

"He's in the ICU right now, he just woke up from his coma but now he's sleeping. Yes, there's a difference." He shut his mouth, halting his question.

"Why didn't anyone call me? I had to find all this out on the news." He said evenly but you knew he was pissed off.

"It was on the news?" I asked him.

"Yes, channel 7, 4, and 5. Someone explain now." He forced out and Kikyo and I glanced at one another. By the time I was finished telling him the story his anger had subsided... I think. It was replaced with a worried frown and sad eyes. "So, my bother's going to die then?" He asked in that same calm and cold voice.

"We don't... we don't really know." Kikyo told him with a shrug. He nodded his head and left to go get something to eat, maybe. As soon as he sat down more of the story came flooding into my mind...

(Where we left off from Chapter Five)

I ran as fast as I could. I was out of breath and it hurt to breath but I had to get away from all of them. I ran and ran and ran. Suddenly, someone's body banged into mine. It was Sesshomaru.

"Why are you running so fast?" He asked me in his deep and calm voice.

"I'm uh, well... I wanted to go out for a run and umm…"

"I don't believe you." He said in an almost bored tone.

"Whatever," I said angrily. "Just move so I can continue my run."

"Why don't you go around me?"

"Because, it's dark and I just want to go straight."

"But your house is left."

"So?" I asked him.

"So, do you know where you're going?"

"Yes."

"Where are you going then?"

"I, uh.. I don't.."

"Exactly."

"Shut up!" I punched his stomach. He didn't move, didn't flinch, he just stood there. So, I punched harder and more and more. Soon I was so out of breath I almost fell over, ready to pass out.

"Kagome," He said quietly through my much softer punches.

"I hate them," I thought I yelled even though I'd only whispered the words.

"Kagome," He said once more and forced me to look at him. He was looking at me with sad eyes. Then he wrapped his arms around me.

"Sesshomaru..." I whispered through our embrace.

"He loves you. He just doesn't know how to tell you. Kikyo's taking your place..."

"Oh shut up," I began to cry into his shirt.

"Stop crying." He hugged tighter.

"No." I said stubbornly and he laughed. Soon everyone had caught up with me and I let him go and wiped my face before they all saw us hugging. I turned to say something to him and he was gone. "Hm…"

"Kags?" Sango questioned. I jumped at her voice but smiled at her feet.

"Yeah, what do ya want?" I asked her.

"Kagome, you need a hug or something?" Kikyo asked me.

"Nope," I walked over to them. "I already got my hug."

"From who?" Inuyasha asked me roughly.

"My knight in shining armor!" I said and twirled around. Sango laughed and began to spin with me.

"Was he beautiful?" She asked me while we spun.

"Yep, gorgeous." Kikyo giggled. "He had this long hair and gold eyes. Oh and he's tall... Do diiie for!"

"You're describing Inuyasha!" Kikyo said with a smile. I stopped spinning.

"I am not!" I put my hands on my hips. "His hair was silver!" Everyone looked at me then at Inuyasha. "Well there was a difference." I said with a sigh, then began to waltz around with myself. Miroku decided to help me out and that made me laugh.

"What was the difference my dear?" He asked as the others just watched us.

"Well, he was stiff and distant... NOT the Inuyasha way, he's like that with everyone." Miroku laughed. "And he let me hurt him till I was through hurting him." I smiled softly. "Then he hugged me… and I cried into his shirt... Where'd he go?" I stopped dancing to ask everyone the question.

"Who the hell are you talking about?" Inuyasha asked me.

"Sesshomaru." I laughed. Everyone was staring at me like I was nuts. "No really, he was just next to me..."

"We don't doubt he was next to you Kagome, he just would never, in a million years, let you do that." Sango said to me.

"Well, he did. He must've been out walking or something." I told them all.

"Why'd you hurt him?" Inuyasha asked me and I smiled with a guilty shrug.

"Well, I was pretending he was somebody else. Oh forget it, let's go home. Ooooh how about we have a sleepover, it's Fridaaay?" I suggested.

"Do you like have bipolar disorder or something?" Miroku joked.

"No, I'm just, I don't know... freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!" I ran then turned around. "Come on you losers, pick up the pace." Then Kikyo placed her arm around Inuyasha's waste and he put an arm around hers while she laid her head on his shoulder. They both laughed at the site of me. Like I was their daughter or something, ya know? "Hmph, stop laughing at me!"

"Oh no, why would we do that?" Kikyo said sarcastically as she continued to laugh.

"Oh I give up." I said in a not caring tone even though I was dying once more on the inside. I ran back over to everyone. "SO! Who's up for that sleepover? My house?" Everyone agreed and we all went our separate ways. They went to get their stuff; I went to get ready for them. When everyone was gone, I decided to turn around and follow Inuyasha and Kikyo. I made sure I stayed hidden and they didn't know I was there at all, didn't even sense someone was following them the whole time.

"So, what do you think Kagome was going to say?" I heard Kikyo ask Inuyasha. He bent down and kissed her gently.

"I don't know." He said, truly meaning it. "Wish I did though…"

"Why?" She asked with a hint of jealousy in her voice and she stopped walking which meant I had to stop too.

"Wouldn't you want to know what someone was thinking about you?" He asked seriously.

'He can be himself around her...' I thought sadly.

"Well yeah, but for some reason I'm really glad she didn't say what she was gonna."

"So then what did you think she was going to say, huh?" He asked her in a slightly angry tone. Kikyo obviously thought nothing of it.

"To tell you the truth, I thought she was going to confess her undying love for you." She laughed and I blushed with embarrassment from inside of my bush.

"What would you have done if she did?" He asked her as he grabbed her hand and they began to walk again.

"Hmm, good question." She looked up at him and kissed him on the cheek. "I would've claimed you as my own!" She jumped up onto his back and he laughed.

"What if..."

"What if... what?" Kikyo asked, once again nervous.

"What if I wanted her too? What if I loved her as well?" He asked her cautiously.

"Well then, I'd cry but..." She got off his back and stopped him. "I'd want you to be happy." Her voice cracked slightly. "And I'd want her to be happy too."

"Oh Kikyo, don't cry." He told her and wrapped his arms around her. She began to cry and a lump grew in my throat.

'Oh Kiki...' I thought sadly as a tear found its lonely way down my cheek.

"Kikyo," He made her look at him with his hand. "I'm with you, not Kagome. I'm not going anywhere, I love you." He bent down and kissed her softly then it deepened into the most passionate kiss I have ever witnessed.

"Shit," I whispered to myself as I began to quietly, or as quietly as I could, throw up blood. They were so lost in their kiss that they didn't even hear me. When they broke apart, I was finally through retching and could hear what they were saying.

"I love you too, I'm just afraid..." She told him.

"Afraid of what?" He asked.

"I just know that you two like each other. I don't know how but I get that feeling..." She told him.

"Yeah well you're wrong, okay?" He said, getting slightly angry. He began to walk and she followed as well as I did. She laughed sadly.

"Oooh, I bet I am." She said even angrier with a hint of sarcasm. Had I caused a fight? I pretended to have run to catch up to them and walked up with a cheery face.

"Hey!" I said. They ignored me. "What did I do?" I asked innocently.

"Nothing, you did absolutely nothing." Kikyo said to me with hate in her voice.

"Hey! Kagome didn't do anything wrong, leave her alone!" Inuyasha yelled at Kikyo.

"See Inuyasha! I'm right aren't I?" Kikyo said. "You NEVER stick up for her and you choose NOW to do it!"

"What?" I asked.

"Stay out of this!" They both yelled at me.

"Sure." I said quietly and sat down on the sidewalk as they both had their first fight all because of me. It made me feel like shit.

"Oh Kagome," Inuyasha began and he walked over to me in an apologetic way when I was the one who should be apologizing. He sat down beside me and leaned on me tiredly.

"Inuyasha?" Kikyo questioned and she sat down on my other side. Then she also leaned on me.

"I'm sorry Kaggy." Kikyo whispered tiredly with a yawn. Inuyasha looked at me as Kikyo shut her eyes and smiled in a sad way. He then leaned toward me and kissed my cheek softly. I gasped. I wanted to grab him by the face and kiss him back. I wanted him to hold me and love ME so badly. Then I realized why he'd made Kikyo (sort of) go on my other side, to stop me from doing that. He placed more kisses on my right cheek and nibbled softly on my ear. The whole time Kikyo's eyes had been shut. I don't think he knew what had come over him, he'd lost control. But the whole time he'd been quiet about it. My breathing became so fast and I lost myself in a hazy world. I realized then that Kikyo had fallen asleep. A tear fell down my face and I gently lied her head down on the concrete...

"Stop," I breathed out, not really meaning it, as our eyes connected for the first time that night since we'd left the hospital.

"I can't," Was his response and he kissed me on the lips.

A/N: Eh, idk I think it was a really bad chapter. Plz review. (I'm definitely changing the summary, it's not about Kikyo at all, is it? lol)
