Part 23. Run, Inuyasha, run!

It took five seconds for him to react and walk out the door, dashing down the emergency stairs and to the lobby, his half-demon abilities buying him the time he needed to reach her.

- Kagome, please, let me explain.

- You don't have to explain anything, Inuyasha. Just… let me go. – tears were now running freely down her cheeks, and he wiped them with his thumb.

- No, not until we talk. Please?

He grabbed her chin with his hand and forced her to look at him. He could see she was hurting, and he hated himself for it. I can't let her go, dammit.

- She's waiting for you, and I… I shouldn't be here. I knew it, and still…

- Hey, listen to me. You should be up there with me, having breakfast together. Would you please let me fix this?


A.N. Ugh, I can't believe I had this one done and didn't upload sooner... I hate myself. Although, holidays are coming and I WILL try my best to keep up the updates. If not, scream at me until I do or whatever :)
