Chapter Three

The Truth

AN: I'm horrible I know leaving the story at that cliffie. Hehe well I'll just shut up now and let you read ;)

It's time to do something about this. InuYasha walked out of his room and over to her door and knocked.

"Ill get it" Miroku said softly

"If it's that guy from next door let him in so I can KILL him!" Kagome growled though her tears.

"Right." Miroku nodded and walked over to the door.

As soon as he opened the door his jaw dropped. He immediately slammed the door close. 'Fuck I'm seeing things! Ghosts are haunting me…NO! I never did anything to be haunted … well I mean it wasn't much but … o fuck' Miroku quickly tried to think of what to do next when the … thing outside knocked again. 'Ok I'll just open the door and find that I was wrong about who was there' Miroku took a deep breath and opened the door again.

"InuYasha?" Miroku whispered so that Kagome couldn't here.

"Long time no see." InuYasha smirked.

Miroku stepped out into the hallway and closed the door behind him.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING ALIVE?!" Miroku hissed

"I thought you would be happy to see me." InuYasha laughed

"No I mean YES but you're supposed to be dead. Of course I'm happy to see my best friend since kindergarten but I was just in there helping my other best friend get over your death so …"

"Well I'm not dead."

"I would hope not seeing as your standing right in front of me."

"Can I go in?"

"I think you better"

"Good"

InuYasha walked over to the door and walked in. What he saw disturbed him deeply. Kagome was on the couch in Sango's embrace crying her eyes out and Sango was weeping silently with her. InuYasha cleared his thought.

"You don't have to cry." He said

The girls looked up Sango's jaw dropped and Kagome looked pale as a ghost.

"Inu … InuYasha?" Kagome wisped

"It's me Kags." He smiled

Kagome ran to him and threw her arms around his neck.

"I'm so glad you're alive!" She cried "DON'T EVER DO THAT TO ME AGAIN!"

She slowly backed away she bumped into a table with a flower vase on it. She took the vase in her hand and ran at InuYasha breaking the vase over his head "NOW GET OUT OF HERE YOU EVIL SCUM. YOU CHEATING LIEING DOG! OUT!" She yelled

"I guess I deserve this." He grimaced as she pulled out a knife. "Now, now. Let me explain! You can kill me after I explain!"

"Let you explain…" She whispered "You think you deserve that?" Tears rolled down her cheeks.

"No" InuYasha stated "I don't deserve it. But I'm asking you to let me explain anyway… I really don't want to die" he said nodding towards the knife that was still in Kagomes hand.

She sank down to the floor dropping the knife beside her. She nodded.

"Explain."

"Thank you." InuYasha took a deep breath. "Ok, so you remember that party our last night well…

::FLASH BACK::

InuYasha and Kagome walked out the front doors. InuYasha's motorcycle was parked right out front the pair hopped on. They drove away Leaving behind no evidence that they had ever been there.

The next day Kagome got a call from her boss telling her that she was going on a job, one month in Rome. There were about 10 people to be eliminated over the course of one month all over the city. She left the next day. InuYasha took her to the air port and kissed her goodbye. He watched her plain take off. His cell phone rang seconds later.

"Hello"

"InuYasha?"

"Yup"

"We need you back at headquarters immediately. We have an urgent job for you."

"Right.

When he got there he was escorted strait to his boss's office.

"Yes sir"

"This is going to be by far the hardest job you will ever undertake. You know Kikyo. I was informed that you had a previous relationship with her. Also that she is still has feelings for you. She works for the enemy as you know we need her eliminated.

So here is what you do. You're going to go to her and start up where you left off with her as soon as you get close to her kill her. She's smart and a good assassin who has killed off many of our agents so you need to get as close to her as you can as fast as you can. You have one month."

"So that's why you sent Kagome away." InuYasha glared at him "I can't do this."

"You have no choice." His boss turned away "I'll talk to you in one month."

::END FLASHBACK::

"After that I went to Kikyo. I got close to her that's when you came back early. You walked into my apartment to find her sleeping on my bed. She had gotten drunk the night before and passed out at a club so I took her to my apartment and let her have the bed. I slept on the couch. It was more then over between us, or so you said. The boss put you on the traveling jobs from then on.

I guess he felt guilty for what happened to. I still had a job to do for him it took longer then expected, a year. I was finally close to her, close enough to kill her. But she found out what had been going on. So she set out to kill me. I still had to kill her so we have been fighting up until now. We decided that in order for me to kill her she had to think I was already gone. So we staged it that Kikyo captured me she trapped me in an ally shot me and walked off. I was wearing a bullet proof vest so it didn't kill me. We put it in a few papers that I was dead and I go on a two month vacation to America. And here we are."

"WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?" Kagome sobbed

"I couldn't" he knelt next to her

She picked up the knife and slashed him across the shoulder.

"I guess I deserved that to." InuYasha winced

She lunged at him and he fell off balance and landed on his back on the floor. She collapsed on top of him with her arms around his neck. She sobbed into the shoulder that wasn't bloody.

Sango sat on the couch in shock her eyes wide and tears still fresh on her face she couldn't say a word anger was slowly steaming up inside her. Miroku seeing that Sango wasn't moving took the opportunity to sit down on the couch next to Sango and slowly inch his way closer and closer to her.

"InuYasha?" Kagome sobbed

"Yah?" He answered softly

"Where are you staying?" Kagome tightened her grip on him

"In the next room over."

Kagome gave out a dark laugh and got up "So you're the annoying bastard who's been banging on the wall none stop." She got up and walked into her room.

Sango had finally come around and was aware of the lecherous monk whose hand was reaching for her back side. She slapped him and got up to where a worried looking InuYasha sat on the floor. Sango picked up the discarded knife and sat down next to him.

"Sango." InuYasha smiled

"Miss me?" She laughed through her tears and lunged with the knife at his shoulder slicing across the cut Kagome had made him to make a big X shaped wound.

"Yes actually I did, you seem to be in rather violent mood today."

Tears rolled down Sango's cheeks "How could you?" she asked through tears "How could you let all of us believe that you were dead? You're like a brother to me! You were just gone. I thought you were gone for good."

"I'm sorry Sango."

Sango stood up anger boiling once again inside her as she finally remembered the full extent of the situation. She slashed at him again this time making a clean but not to deep wound across InuYasha's jaw.

"How could you leave Kagome with ideas that you had gone off with Kikyo." Sango said darkly "YOU COULD HAVE AT LEAST HAD THE DECENCY TO EVEN HINT IT WAS ABOUT A CASE. BUT NO MR BIG TUFF ASSASIN HAS TO KEEP HIS TRAP SHUT AND LET HIS EX GIRLFRIEND SUFFER AND SUFFER AND SUFFER."

"I tried-"

"SHUT UP!"

At this point Kagomes retuned with what looked like a large samurai sword in one hand and several throwing blades.

"Uhh Kagome?" InuYasha knew he could most likely come out of a battle with Kagome alive but he would never hurt her again not ever.

Kagome gave another dark laugh as InuYasha backed himself into a wall. Kagome raised her hand with the first throwing blade and let it fly through the air toward InuYasha; the blade landed pinning the sleeve of InuYasha's shirt to the wall. One by one Kagome threw the blades pinning InuYasha to the wall. When the last blade had been thrown Kagomes un-sheathed the sword and walked to InuYasha. Miroku who had been sitting on the couch staring at Sango's lovely bottom now stood up.

"Kagome think rationally how would it benefit to kill InuYasha?" Miroku tried to reason with the girl.

Still Kagome walked towards InuYasha. Sango knowing exactly how her friend normally handled problems had a worried look on her face.

"Kagome! Put down the sword!" Sango spoke clearly.

"He is going to PAY." Kagome who had obviously had enough, was going insane. A combination of years worth of grief over InuYasha and two days lack of sleep was finally catching up with her. She walked towards him calmly until her nose practically touched his. Slowly she raised her hand bringing the blade up in the air. Swiftly she brought the sword down, InuYasha broke free of the throwing blades just in time and caught Kagome's wrist. She looked him directly in the eye's as tears poured down her face.

"Do you want some fries with that shake?"

"Kagome, are you insane?"

Kagome leaned in a pressed her lips against his.

"Yes"
