I Thought You Loved Me

Chapter 9: The Startling Truth and More Arguments

(Kagome's Pov.)

I could see the look of confusion and shock through his eyes as he struggled to process what I said. "You have two brothers?" I nodded. "Why didn't you tell me about them?" He asked in a soft voice. I knew where this was going and deciding to let this go on, I stayed silent.

That was when I felt Inuyasha slid off me, shifting off the bed, and walked into the living room. I sprang off the bed and rushed into the living room to find Inuyasha sitting calmly on the couch with his face rested in his hands. For a moment, I thought he was going to start yelling or throw things across the room, but instead he sat there and covered his face, as if he were blocking out all bad things that were going to hurt him.

"I-inuyasha..." I half whispered and that was when he spoke, "I thought you were done keeping secrets from me, I know I did a lot of wrong things to you, but that doesn't mean need to do it now. So why this one?" He then removed his hands from his face and looked at me with hurtful, sad, eyes. Reaching for him, I tried him hug him to me and tell him everything would be alright, but he just shrugged me off while I spoke softly to him, "I...Inuyasha, I was going to tell you, but a lot of things were going on and it wasn't the right moment...I'm sorry, Inuyasha...-"

I reached for him again when he cut me off, raising his voice, "Going to tell, Kagome?! Did you really think I was in the mood to hear you tell me this?! Great, on top of getting permission from your damn daddy, I have to see if your brothers, who are coming to town anytime, allow me to be with you and that is not easy enough to have your father on my ass with your brothers as well! I can't do all these things, Kagome! It's getting to the point where I just might-"

Not wanting to hear what he'll end up saying next, cause I heard this before and it always fired me up inside, I slapped him with all my might and yelled back, "-Just might do what, Inuyasha?! Leave me?! Well I didn't expect this to happen either, Inuyasha! I didn't expect for you to go sleeping around with all those sluts! And that first time when you first cheated on me with Dianna, my first best friend! Also, this time when you cheated on me with Kikyo! I didn't expect you to screw up with me at all! And I damn sure didn't expect myself to stay here with you at all, Inuyasha!"

And at those comments, he flinched, holding his cheek. So I kept strait to the point, "...But I did, I stayed, Inuyasha... I stayed because I love you, Rye...That is one of my reasons for staying with you...Another is not wanting to be apart from you and that is one thing I can't handle on my own... I'm giving you opportunities to let you back into my heart and yet again I have to lock my heart away from you and wait till I can trust you again...And I could have left right then and there, Inuyasha..." I lowered my voice as I said those words, making him flinch after every word I spoke.

Yet again I spoke to him, "I don't want this relationship to end, but I will if I have to...And I'm going to tell you the truth about my real life that I'm supposed to be in, Inuyasha...The truth is, Inuyasha, that me and my family are royal! I'm not supposed to be here at all, I'm suppose to go to a forced arranged marriage with some guy named Zaroth and become queen! I'm supposed to be taking care of my lands and kept safe in my own castle with my own family for crying out loud! My brothers are not supposed to do all of the work and taking care of my lands, but they did anyway and they wanted me to have a normal life here! I'm supposed to do all of it, Inuyasha! And Zaroth is the son of the leader of the Cold Night Clan, which in order to have an alliance with the two clans, I have to marry him! *sigh* Now tell me who has it hard now..." I sit down on the couch and put my face in my hands, knowing that I'm about to burst into tears...Also that my whole life is about to come crashing down...

R&R! Tell me what you think!
