Chapter Four
They stayed in that position for a while, until Kagome's sobbing began to diminish. She looked at Inuyasha, he was staring at her intently. "We should get back before everyone starts to worry." He said. Kagome nodded and stood up. They began to walk side by side in silence. It would be so awkward traveling with him now, now that he knew about Sesshomaru. How was she going to see him again? She didn't want to see Inuyasha in pain, but she also couldn't stay away from Sesshomaru. She loved him. She loved Inuyasha. She didn't want to hurt either of them, but it seemed inevitable.
She was so lost in her thoughts that she didn't notice when a very loud sigh escaped her lips. Inuyasha glanced at her. "You okay?" he asked. Kagome looked up startled. "Um…S-sure." She stammered. Were things going to change between her and Inuyasha now? Of course they would, but how? She glanced at him. He seemed fine. Maybe things would work out. Kagome mentally slapped herself again. Things wouldn't work out until she choose who she wants to be with!
They finally arrived in the clearing where everyone was sleeping. Kagome's sleeping bag lay rolled out on the ground. She smiled, Sango must have done it for her, she was always looking out for Kagome. "You should get some sleep, we have to continue on tommorow." Inuyasha said quietly.
Kagome stood there, not ready to go to sleep yet. "Inuyasha," she said timidly. She nervously played with a lock of her hair. "I haven't made me decision yet, but," she turned to him with pleading eyes. "Will you stay with me until I do?"
She turned her back to him and put both her hands up, as if praying. "I don't want things to change between us. I know that's selfish of me, but," she sighed. "I just don't want…" she trailed of, unsure of how to put what she was feeling into words. But Inuyasha understood, and he told himself that Kagome was worth it, this was his last chance, he would try.
"Sure." He said quietly. Kagome turned around. Inuyasha blushed when he saw the absolutely happy look on her face. Kagome wanted to hug him out of happiness, but restrained herself. Instead, she said a quiet thank-you, and went to her sleeping bag. Her mind and her heart were still uncertain, but she managed to fall asleep anyway.
Inuyasha slumped against a tree and watched her sleep. He had done this so many nights, but this night was different. Kagome was in love with another man. His own brother. Just thinking about it made his blood boil, but for some reason, he couldn't be mad at Kagome. Not the Kagome who had always been there for him, who was now sleeping so soundly.
Instead of dwelling on the events that had taken place that day, Inuyasha reluctantly let sleep take him.
Kagome opened her eyes. She could feel the warmth of the sun on her face, it was morning. She sat up and rubbed her eyes. "Oh, Kagome. You're awake." She turned in the direction of her friends voice. Sango, Miroku, Shippo, and Kilala were sitting around the fire cooking fish. Kagome yawned lazily. "G'morning!" she glanced around.
"Say, where's Inuyasha?" she asked drowsily. Shippo jumped over to Kagome's side. "He just barely left a minute ago. He said he smelled something weird." Kagome began to feel very nervous. Inuyasha smelled something it be….No. Kagome shook her head. It couldn't be Sesshomaru.
"Ow! The hell!" Inuyasha collapsed on the ground after hitting a branch full force. He needed to get to him first. Just then a gust of wind came from in front of him. Sesshomaru suddenly appeared from the mist.
"Little brother," he said in an emotionless tone. "I've come to take Kagome with me."
