Chapter 2

The truth was that Inuyasha missed Kagome also, but he was afraid that she would never want to see him again. He would never be able to live with that. He would die if Kagome weren't by his side.

Kagome was a beautiful girl with black hair that went to the middle of her back and big blue eyes. She was really upset when she climbed out of the well, through the shrine and into her house. She grumpily said she was back to her mom before disappearing into her room.

An hour after Kagome returned her mother knocked on the door. "Kagome dear, are you alright?" She worried about her daughter.

"yeah mom, I'm fine." Kagome's voice came through the door.

Mrs. Hirgurashi sighed and left Kagome alone.

Kagome was relieved when she heard her mother walk away. She wasn't ready to talk to anyone yet. The memory still burned her.

Flashback

Kagome was on one of her walks when she heard voices. She was curious of who they belonged to so she followed. After taking a few steps closer, she realized that the voices belonged to Inuyasha and Kikio.

She was just about to turn around and give Inuyasha and Kikio some privacy 'this really isn't any of my business' she thought. But then she heard Inuyasha yell, she had to feed her curiosity.

"Kikio don't you understand! I love you more then anything!" Inuyasha pleaded.

"Inuyasha, don't be a fool! Everyone knows that you love that sad excuse for a reincarnation!" Kikio said coldly.

'ouch' Kagome though, she was hidden behind a large tree so that no one would see her, and Inuyasha was too caught up in his conversation to find her scent.

"No Kikio, you don't understand!" Inuyasha cried, "she's just a…um…a jewel detector!" Inuyasha seemed satisfied with this answer, so he waited for Kikio to say something.

'that hurt' Kagome thought as tears welled up in her eyes.

"Inuyasha you truly are a fool! I am dead! My only wish is to walk among the living! Not be cause up in emotions." Kikio then let out a bitter laugh while her soul collectors picked her up and carried her away.

Inuyasha stood in the same place, dumbfound, staring at where Kikio had stood.

Kagome took this chance to leave undetected. So she quietly got up and started to walk toward Kaede's village. She was going pretty god until

SNAP

She stepped on a twig

Inuyasha turned and saw Kagome in place staring in horror at the twig under her foot. It seemed like forever before Kagome lifted her gaze off of the twig. She looked at Inuyasha, who noticed that her eyes were filled with unshed tears.

"Kagome I-"

"Inuyasha it's alright, I already heard everything. You don't have to explain anything." She said in a falsely cheery voice.

Inuyasha stared at her; he didn't know what to say. Of course he hadn't meant what he said about Kagome only being a jewel detector, but he wasn't about to say that. 'But maybe I will have to tell her' he though

"Kagome" He started, but stopped when he noticed Kagome shaking her head viciously.

"I think I've heard enough thank-you Inuyasha!" She cried, Inuyasha could clearly hear the hurt in her voice. "I'm going home" she said to no one in particular. She turned and started walking away, hanging her head.

"B..But Kagome! WAIT!" Inuyasha called desperately after her.

Kagome stopped dead in her tracks "Inuyasha." She said dangerously, she whipped around and yelled at the top of her lungs "SIT!" and Inuyasha face planted into the hard ground and Kagome stomped away.

End Flashback

'I don't care if I never see Inuyasha ever again!' Kagome thought bitterly.
