~.:.Chapter 7-Realizations Sunk In.:.~

It had been over two months since Kagome and Sesshoumaru had been in that ball-like prison. Not a day went by that InuYasha didn't think about how to get Kagome back. Yes, he is very thickheaded. He still hadn't gotten the hint that it wasn't destiny that these two be together. InuYasha had gotten himself away from everyone else so he could plot on how to get Kagome for his own. He knew that he wouldn't be able to easily penetrate through that barrier, because it was very strong miko magic. 'I know I won't be able to pentrate that barrier, so I'll have to hope that Kagome isn't mated to the bastard. Well, no matter either way. I'm going to make her mine whether or not she's mated to that fuckin' bastard! I'll kidnap her and force her to succumb to my will!'

Kaede had since gotten wind of this and sent Miroku to track down InuYasha to speak to him. Miroku and the others knew that it wasn't meant to be between Kagome and him. "InuYasha?" Miroku called concerned and worried about what he could possibly do. "What do you want, monk?!" InuYasha asked, irritated that he was disturbed from his musings on how he was going to get Kagome to be his once and for all.

"You should know something about Lady Kagome and Lord Sesshoumaru-sama. Midoriko put *them* in the barrier together, not you. If it was at all possible that you two were destined for each other, don't you think that you would be stuck in there with her right now?" This got InuYasha a little upset, but for once he didn't feel like throwing Miroku all the way to China. No, he wanted to throw him to the farthest place on earth. "It was obviously clear that she doesn't want to be with the bastard!! She went in there with contempt!" InuYasha spat angrily.

"And did you realize a change in the barrier? The feelings towards each other have changed from total disgust towards each other to mutual respect. It was white at first, but now it's turned a pinkish hue. Look, there is someone out there for you but it isn't her! I don't care if she is the reincarnation of Kikyo, you two are obviously not meant to be together! I have seen the way you've treated her, don't think I haven't. You always ran off with that dead clay pot and assumed she'd always be there playing second fiddle. She's going to be bonded to Sesshoumaru somehow, and if it includes mating, that's what it's going to include. Midoriko has also told you why it can't be you, but you're not going to listen either to me nor her or anybody else. I have been sent to warn you that it is not meant to be between the two of you. You have been warned," Miroku said as he walked off.

InuYasha was clearly dumbfounded. But then his demeanor changed to that of clearly pissed. He wasn't about to give Kagome up without a fight. He wasn't about to let his brother get the better of him again. He had always gotten the best; most loved, full-blood youkai, Lord of Western Lands. He wasn't going to let him gain Kagome without a fight. To him she was the ultimate goal in determining who was better; InuYasha or Sesshoumaru? (A/N: Talk about egos....-.-') InuYasha was always second best in his father's eyes. No matter what he did, nothing ever seemed to impress his father. InuYasha had looked up to him, but InuTaisho had always seemed to look upon him with disdain and disgust, as if he were a sight for sore eyes.

So, he always felt neglected. But when Kagome came along, it was different. She accepted him for him. She didn't want him to change, for her he was just perfect the way he was. Maybe that was why he admired her so. Or maybe it was her spirit; how she would never hesitate to try and defend what she believed in. She never took shit from him. If he said something that she thought to be hurtful, she would sit him and let him know about it. Then there were the occasional fights and quarrels. She could always rival him in an argument. You could never know who won the majority of the arguments and in the end you couldn't remember who had actually started them, but sometimes she would leave and not come back for a few days, but eventually she would come back, faithful as ever. How she could put up with InuYasha was beyond anybody, most people wouldn't stick around long to get to know InuYasha like she had.

No matter what he had said and done to her she always came back. But when that fateful day came and took Kagome away from him, he had realized that he could very well lose her to his bastard brother and that she could have had it with him and his ego. After all, who wouldn't get pissed and decide to call it quits when someone like InuYasha was always running off with a dead clay miko who wanted nothing but the death of her reincarnation and him. He knew that she didn't love him anymore that she was just a heartless shell of her former self. Why couldn't he of all people have seen sooner that Kikyo was just a dead bitch who didn't love him for him. She was only interested in him if he would become human and learn their traditions.

But then he came to the thought of why Midoriko had put Sesshoumaru in that barrier with Kagome instead of him. He realized then that what Midoriko had said was true. He was unstable, emotionally unstable. He couldn't always handle his emotions and would say stuff that he didn't mean and everytime he had hurt Kagome. He didn't deserve Kagome after all that he had done throughout the three years of gathering shards and the process of defeating Naraku. Although he had finally come to acknowledge his feelings for her, he realized that her destiny belonged with another. He knew what would eventually take place in that barrier. (A/N: I'm sure I did a poor job of keeping it a secret considering I've given clues as to what it was :'( I was hoping on letting you guys guess, but I'm sure with it being an R fic for cursing and such and it being romance, I'm sure you've gotten the gist of it already.)

But the one thing he wouldn't be able to bear would be losing her friendship. She was the first true friend he ever had. Everybody else just mocked and insulted him for being hanyou. Youkai would insult him for having human blood. Humans would insult him for being a half-demon. But she never made fun of him in anyway. She was always there to comfort him when he was down on his luck. She stood by him even when he ran off with the dead priestess. How he regretted going to see her, but there was nothing that could be done to change the past now. He knew it hurt her tremendously, but he went to see her anyway. It was one of those things that if you could do it over again you would.

He could only wish her the best now, for he knew that there would be nothing that would get her to come back to him, not now anymore. Had it been any other time, yes. But now he realized that he had fucked up and good. He could only hope that Sesshoumaru wouldn't make the same mistake as he had. But knowing Sesshoumaru, he wasn't one to make mistakes. InuYasha knew that Sesshoumaru would treat her right. He sighed to himself. This would mean that he would have no one. Sure, Kagome and the others would love him, but it would only be as friends, he wanted something more...intense. Something that would last for eternity. Was this the ultimate part of love? If so, where is my soulmate? These were random thoughts thought by InuYasha as he went into a fitful sleep.

InuYasha: At least I don't have an egotistic mind!!

Kagome: Uh, yes you do! You two fight over the dumbest crap! I'm sure if Sesshoumaru said he could jump off the highest cliff in Sengoku Jidai and live, you would follow just to prove you can do the same as him!

Sesshoumaru: I could jump off the cliff and live, unlike shit-for-brains over there *pointing towards InuYasha*

InuYasha: At least I'm not a complete smug ass bastard!

Kagome: What are you talking about?! Of course you're a smug ass bastard! DUH!! It's your role!!
