Previously, Kagome has once again become swayed by her love fore Inuyasha and is left not knowing what to do.
Kagome continues to cry tears of happiness, despair, and frustration all at once. While not being able to decipher which emotion she feels most at the moment. Why is she hesitating? Why is her heart wavering? Why could she not make up her mind on what to do?!
On one hand, she wants to let go of her love towards Inuyasha, She wants to let him be happy with Kikyo and not be the reason he has a guilty conscience.
However, on the other hand, she wants to cling onto her love for him like how she is clinging to him right now. She does not want to let go and be with him in a way only his lover could.
Is this what it has come to, her, being a crying mess, not knowing what to do with herself while Inuyasha holds her, trying his best to comfort her in the middle of a road?
Kagome, mentally, sighs. She is better than this. She knows better than to let her emotions run amuck. She needs to calm down.
Needing a moment, to collect herself, she takes a deep breath, then slowly releases it. Then, she did it again. And again, until her breathing levels and her hiccuping subsidies.
After her emotions and crying reduce to a mild battlefield and light whimpers, she gradually pulls herself away from Inuyasha. Inuyasha sensing Kagome needs her space, decided to let her pull herself away from him.
When Kagome felt his embrace, he noticed how he did not want to let her go. He wanted to keep his arms around her. He wanted to keep his head buried in the crook of her neck while he drowned himself in her intoxicating scent. He did not want Kagome to leave his side.
And when that revelation hit him, he felt shame creep into his conscience. How could he do this to her? To them? The night before he was indulging in Kikyo's scent and body. While today he craves Kagome.
It is not the demon or human blood in him that makes him a beast. He makes himself a beast. A beast, lesser than a man and lesser than a demon.
Inuyasha kept feeling the remorse and disgrace wash over him in waves, but before it could pull him into a whirlpool of despair Kagome pulled him out of the current.
In a soft voice, Kagome calls out of his self-loathing.
"Yeah, Kagome," Inusyaha replies.
"I need time to think on my own. I need to go home," Kagome admits.
Understanding where Kagome was coming from, Inuyasha could not bear to stop her from leaving even though, a part of his heart audaciously wanted her to stay. Wanted her to stay with him.
Inuyasha could not help asking how Kagome how long she thinks she will be gone.
Wanting to lighten up the mood Kagome joked, not for too long, just long enough to get some relaxtion.
Inuyasha sighed, "Let me send you off?"
"I would like that very much," Kagome answered with a smile.
