Throughout out the night Kagome's silent tears kept her company, looking to the moon lit sky. Wishing she could be back home with her mother and brother. Going to school, talking to her friends on the other side of the well like a normal girl.
The scent of salt water hit Kouga's delicate nose. He woke up, following the scent to the tree where Kagome still sat. It was the middle of the night and he hadn't even realized she had been gone, looking at her sad and lonely face he mentally cursed himself. Jumping up to comfort and talk to her, he seen her tears, shed like shinning crystals against her face. He moved closer, letting Kagome turn to him, she began to cry in his arms, soaking his chest with her tears. His arms began to grip her in a caring way, but Kagome didn't care, at least she wasn't lonely anymore.
Kagome's tears fell until early the next morning. Kouga looked sleepily at her he had stayed up all night, doing his best to comfort her. "Thank-you" she said feeling a bit guilty.
When the separate groups were ready to go Kagome's eyes were still red and puffy, she slept in Kouga's arms. Kouga carefully jumped out of the trees, landing gracefully on the ground, trying his hardest not to wake the sleeping beauty. Meeting the group on the ground.
Inuyasha began to grumble as he seen Kouga carrying Kagome. "Put her down idiot, she has to legs!" he snapped at Kouga, not even noticing Kagome was asleep.
"Shut up mutt!" Kouga snapped back "You'll wake her!" for the first time, since she was asleep in his arms he was able to look into her pretty face, Inuyasha noticed that she had been crying. "When did she start crying?" he questioned himself, not remembering any sounds when he slept. Inuyasha whipped around facing his brother. "What did you say to her! I saw you two in the forest, what did you do to her?" Inuyasha barked. Sesshoumaru blushed bright red, "What did you see?" Sesshoumaru asked shyly, everyone gawked at his bright face. "Enough!" Inuyasha snapped at his older brother. "Enough! Inuyasha, Sesshoumaru, shut up your going to wake Kagome!" Sango demanded, both brothers falling quiet.
Kouga then turned around, following the way Kagome had pointed to him last night, when he had gotten her to calm down for five minutes, until she started to explain a clearing. Kouga walked deeper and deeper into the woods until the clearing was finally insight. Kagome's eyes snapped open, telling Kouga to put her down and to remain where he stood. Then walking up to Inuyasha she finally looked into his eyes, seeing them clouded with memories of the clearing, he knew exactly where there were.
"You love her down you" Kagome said, breaking the chain of thought the scurried in Inuyasha's mind. Her head lowered as Inuyasha looked at her, trying to find the right words to say. Kagome began to fiddle with her skirt tears reforming in her eyes. She walked into the clearing alone. "I'm here!" she shouted, loud enough for all to hear. Inuyasha drew his tetsisuaga, expecting a trap. "I did it!" Kagome shouted again, looking towards another path that led deeper into the woods. A dark shadow took to the edge of the other entrance, Kagome walked towards it and took the hand of a human leaning towards the human's ear she whispered "Heal his heart." Then walked deeper into the forest.
"No Kagome, don't leave." Inuyasha silently pleaded as he watched Kikyou step into the light, turning his attention back to Kagome.
"Are you a complete, IDIOT!" Kouga screamed " That's it, your just going to let her walk out of your life, for some stupid dead wench! She cried all night because you wouldn't go after her, and to think I told her you would!" Kouga stood there in total shock.
"Hey, it's her choice, if she wants to go, I ain't going to stop her." Inuyasha stated coolly. Watching Hinoko shake her head in disappointment. "Protect her with your life" the words cut Inuyasha in the heart. Looking back towards the path Kagome had took, half expecting her to come back, but she never did.
Kagome walked alone, fresh tears stinging her cheeks as they did the night before. "He doesn't care about me. Kikyou this, Kikyou that. You're not as skilled as Kikyou. Kikyou has more strength then you." Kagome sobbed, the stopped dead in her tracks, looking toward the leaf covered sky, "She may love you, but I love her more then she ever could!" Kagome screamed into the open air.
