Chapter 6

Thoughts Not Spoken

Inuyasha looked up and saw Kagome's face. She was going to run.

"Kagome!" Inuyasha shouted watching the girl move from the doorway and into the elevator.

Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit! Inuyasha thought shoving Kikyo off him. He ran out into the corridor. He would have made it to the elevator in time, if he hadn't tripped over Kagome's luggage.

He reached the door in time to see it close shut, with Kagome sitting on the floor, leaning against the wall, with tear stained cheeks.

Inuyasha headed for the stairs sprinting as fast as he could. He burst out of the stairwell and saw Kagome running out of the building lobby and into the cold streets. That was when he noticed that she was wearing shorts and a tank top.

He ran out onto the streets and saw Kagome heading into a nearby diner. Inuyasha burst into the diner, glad to see there weren't a lot of people. He saw Kagome sitting in a booth shivering.

Inuyasha walked up to her and handed her his jacket. She didn't take it, so he placed it on her shoulders. Without a word, he sat down across her and stared at her. She avoided his gaze and looked at the jacket in her lap.

"Kagome…"

He inhaled her scent. Breathing in her scent helped to calm him, and he often did this when he felt agitated. But…there was something different about her scent this time. He could smell wolf youkai all over her.

"Why?"

Inuyasha blinked, realising Kagome was looking up at him with emotionless eyes.

"I-I don't know," Inuyasha mumbled. I can't exactly say: "I was jealous about you and Kouga and I thought you two were kissing, except now I think I know you were kissing because I can smell him all over you, and decided to take my silent revenge only I didn't know you were there. "Why do you smell like Kouga?" Kagome froze, her eyes widening. Inuyasha frowned, but continued. "I can smell him all over you…you kissed didn't you?"

Kagome's silence was a good enough of a reply for him. He gave a low chuckle.

"I guess that makes us even then, eh?"

"No it doesn't!" Kagome protested banging her hands on the table. "I didn't willingly kiss him! You gladly kissed Kikyo! There is a difference between doing something and being caught in something! But I'm surprise you care; you didn't seem to care before. Any reason why?" Kagome asked coldly raising an eyebrow.

"I did care when that wolf touched you, when he danced with you and when he talked to you! I sure as hell did not want to lose you to him."

Kagome blinked. He says this now! she thought furiously. If he said this before, I wouldn't have had any doubts on our relationship!

"You could have fooled me! The way you acted towards Kikyo: is she even a work colleague of yours?" Kagome snapped remembering Kikyo.

"What the hell are you talking about?" Inuyasha said glaring.

"I'm talking about the other day during when you invited Kikyo to join us – on our date! Then, you ignored me throughout the evening and you didn't eat until Kikyo's food came! What am I supposed to think when my boyfriend acts like that towards another girl on our date?"

Is that what she's so mad about? Inuyasha thought. Because I talked to Kikyo on our date when I should have been talking to her? I…

"Inuyasha, all the signs you've been giving me has made me doubt our relationship. I caught you kissing Kikyo and you haven't even tried to defend yourself about that. I-I …Kouga was right. You don't love me."

Inuyasha sat there staring at Kagome. What did Kouga say to you? I love you Kagome! I love you.

"What about you and Kouga?"

"Inuyasha!" Kagome said, sounding exhausted. "I left Kouga standing on top of a waterfall and took the first flight back here. I could get fired and I didn't even think before I left Australia. I'm sitting here in shorts! I wanted to come back…to see you."

Kagome stood up, allowing Inuyasha's jacket to fall to the floor. "I thought you loved me," Kagome said quietly, "but I don't know anymore. I think…no, I know, we need to see other people."

"W-what?" Inuyasha gasped staring up at Kagome. "Don't say that Kags."

"Go back to Kikyo," Kagome mumbled. "I'm sure you two will be happy together."

Kagome attempted to walk past Inuyasha, but he grabbed her wrist.

"I'm not ready to let you go," Inuyasha said standing up.

Kagome felt the tears form and she looked down. She watched a tear fall and hit the tiled diner floor.

"Please," Kagome pleaded. "I don't want to be hurt anymore."

Inuyasha pulled Kagome into a hug, causing her to gasp in surprise, as he wrapped his arms tightly around her small frame.

"I promise I won't hurt you," Inuyasha whispered. "Don't go Kagome, I need you."

Kagome pushed Inuyasha away gently. "I-I want to believe you Inuyasha, but you were kissing Kikyo."

Kagome turned her head away and turned around. She expected Inuyasha to stop her again, but he didn't.

"Where are you going to go?" he mumbled stuffing his hands into his pockets. "Are you going to Kouga now?"

Kagome gave a small nod. "He loves me…and isn't that what any human wants? To love and be loved in return?"

But I love you Kagome! And you love me…I may be half human but that is still what I want! I love you and you love me.

Inuyasha opened his mouth to shout out his thoughts to the world, but he heard the door to the diner shut and watched the woman he loved walk away from him.

Author's Note: See author's note in previous chapter. I really can't be stuffed typing all this stuff out again and again.

By the way, I don't think I can update any time soon in any of my stories. My parents want me to do more studying and less time on the computer. I'll try to update on the weekends and stuff, but it may be a while before the next update.

Reviewing could speed up the process, if you know what I mean. Cough
