Konnichiwa! I'm learning Japanese! If you're a Kikyo lover, the next chapter I suggest you not read. But… you'll love this one, at least the beginning… sadly. Oh, and lots of drama and lemons in the next few chapters! – Kittenkode

LAST TIME: Kikyo had a sad look on her face. "Then I guess you leave me no choice." She mumbled a few words and InuYasha passed out.

Hiroshi blushed slightly when he said, "Well… you know… I love you."

THIS TIME:

With Kag:

Kagome blushed and turned away. "T-that's very k-kind of you. I have to go so… I'll c-call you," Kagome stuttered. Hiroshi smiled and nodded, because he was glad she didn't reject him. "Here, take these," he said, giving her a banquette of flowers. Then he went out the door. Kagome quickly put the flowers on a table and rushed out the door. She had to make sure of one thing that InuYasha didn't love her. Kagome jumped out of the well as soon as she landed and rushed at a dead run. She ran towards the God Tree but slowed to a trot when she saw something that made her gasp. Soul collectors.

With Kikyo:

Kikyo smiled. Everything was going according to her plan. When Kagome saw her and InuYasha, her heart would be crushed and she would be forced to leave forever. After a while, Kikyo heard a rustle in the bushes not far from where she was. This is it. Time to put my genius plan to work, Kikyo thought. She mumbled a few words and stepped back into a tree.

Kag again:

Kagome continued onward toward the God Tree. When she arrived tears flowed into her eyes. (VERY hard to write) In front of her was InuYasha, who was naked and apparently kissing Kikyo. He was on top of a naked Kikyo. Kikyo let out a moan of pleasure and kissed the lips of the man that was on top of her. Kagome couldn't take it any longer. She let out a sob and ran as fast as she could towards the well, salty tears flowing in rivers down her face.

With Inu (YAY):

InuYasha woke up and heard a sob. He looked over towards the sound but saw nothing. He smelt the air and the smell of salty tears filled the air. The tears smelt a lot like lilacs. That was Kagome's sweet scent. Lilacs. But why was she crying? He couldn't see her! But he could not move any longer, because his breath was taken away when he passed out once again.

Kag:

Kagome sobbed. Why am I crying? I should have known. I mean, he's told me already. He's chosen Kikyo, Kagome thought. She sniffed. She was not going to let some boy keep her down. But he's not some boy. He's the man you love, a voice said. No he's not! HE loves Kikyo!! Couldn't you see that? CAN'T you see that? How can I love him, when he loves someone else? Kagome argued. How do you know for sure? Ask him! No! He was having sex with her for kami's sake! Ask him!! Quit being so stubborn and ASK him! Kagome and the voice in her head went at it for a while until Kagome got upset. Very upset. I HATE him!! Now LEAVE ME ALONE!!! He's a stupid, ignorant, stupid, IDIOT!! Kagome thought. The voice didn't answer. In fact, its presence was completely gone. "I hate him," Kagome whispered, another tear rolling down her face.

Inu:

InuYasha woke up again, probably in mid-afternoon. He looked up and saw rock walls; He was in a cave. He got up and turned around. He was trapped. InuYasha was in a very small place. So small that he could barely sit down. He went for the entrance so he could get out, but as he attempted to leave, an electro-magnetic shock pulsated through his body and ripped through his skin. He quickly stepped back, blood dripping down his body and horai. "Shit!" InuYasha cursed. He sat down and cursed some more. He was really dizzy. He felt like he hadn't slept in a year. He sat down against the end of the cave and soon fell asleep. With that sleep also came a dream.

Inu Dream:

InuYasha sat on a rock near a waterfall. He was looking at the huge thing when he saw something move behind it. Kagome, InuYasha thought. He neared her and saw that she was sitting on a rock, her hands playing with the water. She was wearing a long, flowered dress, with a flower in her hair. InuYasha went over to her and sat down beside her. "Hey," InuYasha said. Instead of answering him, Kagome looked around, apparently not knowing where the sound came from. "Can't you see me? I see you," InuYasha said. "W-what? Where are you? And what do you want?" Kagome asked harshly. "What's gotten you so worked up? I'm right next to you! Can't-" he was cut off when Kagome slapped him, leaving a deep red mark on his cheek.

"What was that for?" InuYasha asked/yelled. "I HATE you! Why are you here?" Kagome yelled. InuYasha was so surprised that he fell off the rock. "W-what d-d-did you s-say?" InuYasha asked. "I said, 'What are you doing here'?" "B-before t-that," InuYasha said. "I HATE you! Why, you got a problem with that? Maybe you should just go away and go back to your beloved Kikyo and never come back. 'Cause I'm sick and tired of you!" Kagome yelled. Tears welled up for the first time in InuYasha's life. He'd never been so sad and depressed in his entire life! "What d-do you mean by that?" InuYasha asked slowly and hoarsely. "I mean that I SAW you together with her!!!" Kagome yelled. "I was telling her to bug off!!" InuYasha yelled back. His sadness was turning into anger. "Gee, that's a nice way to put it, having sex with her! I never knew that was the way to tell a person to bug off! Maybe I'll keep that in mind the next time I see Hiroshi!" Kagome said, tears flowing down her cheeks.

Kag on vacation by herself:

"WHAT (!!!!)? I NEVER did that with her! And who is this Hirobi?" InuYasha asked. "It's HIROSHI you IDIOT!!! He's the one I love! Ever since a week ago after I saw you with Kikyo! Maybe you should go back to your love! You can have some more 'fun' with her and have lots of kids!!" Kagome yelled at InuYasha. "WHAT do you mean? I don't love her! You MUST have made a mistake! Kikyo must have played some mastermind voodoo trick on you to make you see something that you didn't!!" InuYasha said. It's true!! Believe him!! WHAT? BELIEVE him? Are you nuts? It's obvious that he loves you! He looks torn apart. He's looked that way ever since you told him that you love someone other than him. How do YOU know? Even though YOU can't see him, I CAN! I still don't think he's telling the truth, Kagome and the voice fought. "You promise?" Kagome asked InuYasha. "I swear! I love you!!" InuYasha cried. Kagome gasped. "But… you… you love Kikyo!" "No, I don't. It doesn't matter, though. …You love someone else," InuYasha said sadly.

Inu Dream:

Kagome didn't know it, but InuYasha was looking into Kagome's beautiful brown eyes. He was next to her again; so close he was touching her long, flowered dress. He wanted to kiss those lips of hers so badly. "Oh, InuYasha… I don't love him. He loves me, but I really love you. I… I'm sorry I didn't believe you," Kagome said. "But this is just a dream…" InuYasha said. "Is that why I can't see you? This is where I am, really. I'm on vacation, and I'm not asleep! For me… this isn't a dream," Kagome said. "I'm in a cave, but it's really small. All I remember is telling Kikyo that I loved you, and then I passed out. Then I woke up, but all I could see was grass. I smelt your tears, though. After that, I woke up in a cave, and …that's all," InuYasha said, gently. Kagome sighed and placed her head on his shoulder. At least, what she thought was his shoulder. InuYasha blushed pink when she placed her head on his chest. "I promise I'll come out and get you as soon as I can," InuYasha said. Kagome nodded. "I love you," Kagome said.

InuYasha was surprised when she kissed him. He quickly deepened the kiss and put his arms around her waist. Kagome pulled him closer, letting the kiss last as long as it could. It lasted until they ran out of breath. "I have to go," InuYasha said. "Why?" Kagome asked. "I don't know. There's this tugging on me. I really have to go. I love you!" InuYasha said. "I love you too…" Kagome said softly. At that… InuYasha disappeared.

End of Dream

Inu:

When InuYasha woke up, he could still feel Kagome's warm lips against his. He could smell her sweet lilac scent, see her in her beautiful dress, and feel the tingle going up and down his spine. He shook his head. He needed to try to find a way out, not daydreaming about his Kagome. Well, she wasn't actually 'his' yet. But when he next saw her and she could see him, he would ask her the question that would change both of their lives forever.

InuYasha began looking for another way out. It was of no use. There was absolutely no other way out other than the cave entrance. "Fine. I'll just go through the entrance," InuYasha said. He got ready, got set, and ran. "Rrrrggh!" InuYasha yelled. He couldn't get through! He pushed forward and his blood spurted even more than it already was. He jumped back and lay down. "Gee, that was stupid of me…" InuYasha mumbled. He rested for a while and when he was ready, he got up and thought. Maybe if I can't go out the only entrance… he thought. "I can make a new one!!" he yelled, punching the wall with all his might. The wall didn't break. Instead, the wall just made an imprint of his fist. InuYasha's jaw dropped wide open. "WHAT?" InuYasha yelled. He couldn't believe it! He actually was trapped!! InuYasha punched the wall again. The same thing happened, only the imprint deepened. He punched it in the same place again and again and again until he was tired. Which was until nightfall. He punched the wall one final time. POW The wall still didn't cave in. The bulge of rocky rubber just got as big as a pumpkin and as long as a full-grown average tree.

"Damn it!" InuYasha cursed. He sat down and pouted. Sweat and blood were soaked through his skin, and the stench was so strong that InuYasha felt nauseous. I can't sleep like this! Even if this stench doesn't keep me awake, hunger is crawling at my belly like an invisible vermin!! InuYasha thought hopelessly. He longed to see Kagome again, and the thought of seeing her again helped his mind keep off his stench and hunger, but he still couldn't get to sleep. He laid his head on his hand and waited for sleep.

Kag's time:

Kagome sat on the hotel's bed, daydreaming. Could that have been real? Does InuYasha love me? I love him so much! I really hope he does! That would make me the happiest girl on the planet, Kagome thought dreamily. She closed her eyes and pictured him there with her. She tried to picture the place where he was and how horrible it was for him to not be able to eat. She gasped. What if he starved to death?

The thought of him starving was horrible! Kagome jumped up at the sound of the phone. She walked over to the phone and picked it up. "Hello?" she asked. "Hey! Your little bro said you were on vacation! He gave me the number. So, you aren't that far off. I was going to come that way anyway, so do you want to go out to dinner?" a voice perked up on the other end. The thought of food at the moment made her stomach churn, but she couldn't see the harm of going out to dinner with Hiroshi. "Sure," Kagome said, hanging up the phone. All she heard was 'At seven'.

Kagome really needed to tell him whom she really loved. It was either Hiroshi or InuYasha. It was a hard decision. This must have been how InuYasha felt! Kagome grimaced. She couldn't choose! But she had to. InuYasha. Oh, not you again! What do you mean? Kagome fought with the voice in her head once again. The one you love is InuYasha. How do YOU know? I can see into your heart. You know deep down that there's nobody else. What do you mean? Choose him. You'll break his heart if you don't! What about Hiroshi? Kagome thought. The voice either didn't hear her or was gone.

Kagome got her coat and waited at the door. When she heard a honk, she ran out the door to the car. "Hey love," Hiroshi said warmly. Kagome suddenly felt uncomfortable. She didn't actually enjoy Hiroshi calling her 'his love'. "Hi," Kagome said, hopping into the car. She buckled up her seatbelt and sighed. She hated the fact of either breaking Hiroshi or InuYasha's heart. "What's wrong?" Hiroshi asked. "Hmm? Oh, nothing!" Kagome exclaimed. Hiroshi drove down the road for about thirty minutes to a local restaurant. "Okay! We're here," Hiroshi said. He got out quickly to help Kagome out of his car. He opened the door to the passenger's side and took Kagome's hand. "Out you go, my lady," he said politely. Kagome stepped out and looked around.

"Where are we?" she asked. "A restaurant in Kyoto," Hiroshi said. Kagome smiled. She was at a restaurant in Kyoto! Kyoto, of all places!! Kagome thought excitedly. They walked into the restaurant together and stood waiting for assistance. "Table for two?" the chef asked. Hiroshi nodded. "Yes, please," he said. He took Kagome by the arm, which made her nervous, and led her to the nearest table. "What would ya like?" the waitress asked. "Raman noodles," Kagome said. "Teriyaki chicken with rice," Hiroshi said. The waitress walked away and Hiroshi excused himself to freshen up. If only InuYasha were here instead of Hiroshi. W-wait! I don't really love him… do I? Of course you do! That what I've been trying to tell you this whole entire time! Not you again! Who exactly are you, again? Kagome thought. Hello, Kagome. I'm sorry I haven't properly introduced myself. You see… I don't really need to. Let's see… how to put this, how to put this. I… am… I am you basically. W-what? YOU'RE me? Ha, ha! How can you be me when I'M me? Oh boy, here we go! I am you because I'm your conscious, your soul, your spirit, anything that's yours, is also mine. So therefore I- oh, look! It's InuYasha! The voice, which was apparently the other Kagome, said. "Where?" Kagome asked aloud. Right behind you… the voice said, already knowing what she wanted to know.

"Where am I?" a voice so familiar mumbled in Kagome's ear. "Your in luck… a restaurant. A.K.A. the place where people serve food," Kagome mumbled back. "And here comes the food." Sure enough, there was the waitress. "Could I have two more bowls of raman noodles?" Kagome asked. "Sure." Soon Hiroshi will be back… Kagome thought.

"InuYasha… sit on my lap!" Kagome mumbled. "What?" InuYasha asked. "Shhh! I said sit on my lap!!" Kagome said hurriedly. InuYasha obeyed, and Kagome soon found out that he was as light as a little kid. She gasped. "I-InuYasha! You're starving!" She exclaimed softly. Her almost worst fear had come true! Her love was dieing. She wasn't afraid to admit it now. She loved InuYasha, and not anyone else. As if on cue, Hiroshi appeared out of the restroom. "Hello, honey," Hiroshi smiled. Kagome could feel InuYasha tense his muscles. "I'd prefer you not call me that," Kagome said uneasily.

Ha! Cliffy! How will Hiroshi cope? And how will InuYasha react? Mwahahahaha! Hope u guys liked it! I personally love this chapter! I love chapter 5, too! I doubt any Kikyo lovers are reading this, but a message for you: I HATE KIKYO!!! - Kittenkode
