Time Heals All

Chapter : 7

Eating breakfast with her family and friends, she decided she would call Inuyasha and tell him that she didn't want to go out with him any longer. She saw Rin sneak the puppy some of her food and smiled at the girl. She would have done the same thing, and she decided she would.

As she was giving the puppy, which her, Sango, Kanna, and Rin named Reimei, the phone rang. Getting up out of the chair she walked over to the living room and answered the phone.

"Moshi, moshi!"

"Kagome, it's me Sesshoumaru. I will be coming down to pick up Rin today," came his silky voice.

"Hai, she will be ready by the time you come." Kagome answered back.

"I'll see you then."

"Hai," said Kagome as she hung up the phone.

Sango, Kanna, and Kagome helped Rin pack. After that Sango said her farewells and left back for the city, telling Kagome she would pick up her stuff from Inuyasha's next week. Souta then took Kanna and left for a date, to who knows where. Her mother took jii-san to the doctor after he claimed that an evil spirit jumped him from the closet, which left only herself and Rin.

Sending Rin out to play with Reimei, she dialed up Inuyasha's cell phone number.

"Hai, Inuyasha here!" came his voice.

"Inuyasha..."

"Kagome... It's been a long time since you called me. I tried calling to your mom's, but you were always away, or busy."

"Hai, Inuyasha... I... I..."

"What is it?"

"Listen, Inuyasha, it's over... I can't deal with it anymore!" Kagome said into the phone then hung up before she could hear his answer.

She leaned against the wall and slowly slid down, it hurt so much to do that. Yet what was this other feeling?

Shrugging it off she got up and went outside to play with Rin and her puppy. The two played for hours into the day, until finally the two settled for resting under the big oak tree. The two girls and the puppy were soon fast asleep under the shade of the tree.

After being fully rested Reimei and Rin gained back thier energy, and started to yet again play fetch. The two seemed to never run out of energy.

She was thinking of Sesshoumaru when someone came up behind her and took her into their arms. She turned around, smiling thinking it was Sesshoumaru, only to find Inuyasha grinning down at her. Kagome's smile disappeared and was replaced by a glare, as she pushed her way out of his arms.

"What's the matter babe?"

"Leave me alone Inuyasha! I told you I want nothing to do with you!" said Kagome as she walked up to the little girl and puppy. "Rin go inside."

The girl nodded and took the puppy and headed inside. Kagome watched as the little girl looked at her one more time before disappearing into the house. She then turned around to face Inuyasha once again.

"Inuyasha why did you come here?"

"I wanted to see you."

"Don't tell me that! You have Kikyo so why do you need me?"

"Kagome, Kagome, Kagome. You think I'm still with Kikyo. I told you long ago that I wasn't with her anymore," said Inuyasha as he stepped forward to hug her.

"Don't give me that bullshit Inuyasha! I know your still with Kikyo. Please just leave me alone and let me live my own life."

"This is all Sesshoumaru's doing isn't it?" yelled Inuyasha. "The bastard has poisoned your mind!"

"Enough! If anything he's being more kind and loving than you!"

"You don't even know him! How the hell can you say that cold hearted bastard can give you more love to you than I can!"

"Because, while you were out with Kikyo for the past couple of years I needed a friend! And he was there for me more than you ever were!" yelled Kagome. "Sure other people may think he's a cold hearted beast but Rin and I know better! Why don't you just go back to that slut, Kikyo!"

She was about to say more when a stinging pain shot through her cheek, and she heard Rin scream out her name. Her hand was immediately on her stining cheek where Inuyasha had struck her for the first time. She was then almost knocked to the ground by a small girl colliding into her and latching onto her waist with tears in her eyes.

Kagome looked up to Inuyasha and glared, "How dare you..."

She then gathered Rin up into her arms and left a shocked Inuyasha standing there, watching as she walked off with the little girl. How could he have done that to Kagome? He hadn't meant to.

Kagome walked into the house and into her room where she put down the crying girl. Rin then reached her hand up to stroke Kagome's bruising cheek. Kagome smiled down at the little girl and told her that she was fine and that it didn't hurt at all.

"Rin saw how he slapped you and it scared her."

"It's okay Rin... I'm fine," said Kagome as she gathered the girl into her arms for a hug.

Ah! An update O.O! Took me long enough, I had writer's block for the longest time on this chapter. I don't think I will be updating it again in a while. I'm still not thinking right, I dunno what else to type. So just hang in there.
