Hey guys! I just wanted to say I'm sorry it's taken me forever! I could say that I've been insanely busy and thats part of the reason why it's taken so long but that would be a lie... I just couldn't get myself to the computer to type it up. But I did it, finally, so I hope you enjoy (sorry it's so short) and I think I'm almost done with this story so thanks for sticking through it with me! Theres just a bit more! Btw I don't know if I was suppose to do this so I'm going to do it now.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything :(

"You what?" Koga growls.

"I've forgiven Inuyasha," I repeat stronger than last time. It had been about a week since Inuyasha had told me the whole truth. Within three days he was totally forgiven.

"Kagome, no," Koga says holding my hand, "I love you. What do you see in that, mutt?" He spits out the last word as if it kills him to say it.

"I'm sorry Koga," I whisper. I know it isn't fair to him. I feel so bad because in the long run, he never even stood a chance.

Koga looks at me, his eyes clouded by confusion. Soon it's cleared up and I'm in his arms. "Fine, Kagome. I'll take you with me." I scream and kick in protest but he just keeps walking. I punish myself for taking us pretty far away from the village to tell him.

An unnatural gust of wind flies by us "Put her down." Inuyasha growls making my heart skip a beat. His stance is guarded ready to protect me, he is my savior.

Koga does as he commands but instead of giving his little prize back to Inuyasha he pushes me to the side. The force of his push makes me fall to the ground. "Kagome, my love, please sit over there," Koga says to me but never lets an eye off Inuyasha. Inuyasha tries to run to my side but Koga stops him. "I'll fight to the death for her."

I clench my teeth in anger. Inuyasha's eyes flutter over to me quickly but then look away as though he can't think of another option. I watch as he pulls out his Tetsusaiga in acceptance. Pools of anger wash over me, this is not happening. I had seen them fight over me thousands of time, but a fight to the death? They had to be kidding me. Ignoring the battle just about to take place, I walk right in between them.

"Kagome, get out of the way," Koga yells at me, washing away any of my earlier guilt. That is his mistake because now my anger is fully focused on him.

"No, I'm not going to, you don't control me. Last time I checked I'm from the twenty- first century, where girls are as powerful and have just as many rights in situations as guys. We're not just little precious gifts that if you win in a fight you can knock up. So no, I don't agree with the fight and even if you ripped Inuyasha to pieces, which I highly doubt, it wouldn't change the fact that I won't ever be with you. I don't love you."

A silence sweeps over all of us leaving the words "I don't love you" to dangle in the air. My bravo is starting to die down being replaced by guilt of all those terrible words I said. But the fact is I wouldn't change anything of them, so I try to let it go.

A dark glow comes from Koga's eyes. A glow that never leaves him. A glow that causes me to stand ridged in my place unable to move. His dark glare moves from Inuyasha to me. I feel exposed as they search me. Then he turns and runs away; not nearly as fast as he used to be before he sacrificed his jewel shards for us.

We stand there for a bit. Watching as he disappears from view and well even longer. Both of us try to shake off the feeling something terribly bad is going to happen.

"Stupid wolf," Inuyasha mumbles as he throws me on his back and whisks me off to who knows where.

"Inuyasha," I warn, "don't say that. He's hurt."

"Well he didn't have a reason to glare at you like that." I stay quite as I see the world blur pass me. When Inuyasha finally stops, I look around to see where he has taken me.

I stand in front of it. The sacred tree, the place when I first met Inuyasha. The place where he thought I was Kikyou for a bit and tried to kill me. Where he almost got away with the Jewel and then I stopped him with my bounding spell. The place where everything changed and my normal teenage like was taken away.

My eyes begin to tear up. "Inuyasha," I whisper to him. He holds me to his chest, I smile. I would always have him. I look at him; his golden eyes seem so close to me. Next thing I know, his soft lips are on mine. His kiss brings a zing of warmth threw me.

"Inuyasha," I whisper to him pulling away, "I want to go home."

His eyes fog up with confusion and pain. "But…but why? If it's because of Koga then I promise we can fix it!"

"No, because," I start to say with a shaky voice, "I want to say goodbye to them, my mom, grandpa, brother, friends. All of them before I leave them forever. There was a reason I met you and I don't ever want to let that go to waste."

"Kagome, no, you don't have to choose between me and them. You can be with both of us. Nothing has to change. You can still see them and I promise to let you stay longer than you did before. But you don't have to make that choice Kagome. I don't want to make you do this," Inuyasha exclaims his gold eyes have such an intense worried stare that I have to look away for a bit.

I shake my head; my family must be so worried about me right now. I couldn't stand it. I mean where did I have the right to do this to them. I almost wish they could forget about me. I almost wish that I could make their memories of me just disappear. But that couldn't happen; erasing memories was just imaginary, meant for stories not real life. No, I didn't want them to even think about me and I have a plan.

"Inuyasha, no it's the right thing," I whisper.

"You mean I won't get any ninja food?"

I glare up at him and start to stomp away wondering how on earth he got to be so stupid.

"What? What did I say this time?" He asks running up to me not letting me get away.

"Ninja food? Ninja food? All you care about is freaking ninja food? I mean I swear, I wonder why I even stick around to explain everything to you."

"Well, no… I… uh…" Inuyasha mumbles clearly trying to figure out what he is suppose to say.

"Whatever," I sigh trying to show that I'm done with this whole situation and just want to get back to the village so I can get to my family faster.

"Kagome," he growls. He grabs my shoulder and turns me around so I'm facing him. I hate how I start to forget why I am so impatient about something. The closeness of him makes my cheeks blush violently.

"Don't worry. I'll take you home tomorrow. But first you should wait and sleep on it, I guess," Inuyasha whispers. Not needing to talk any louder because we're so close. Next thing I know I pull him closer to me and our lips form together as we start to kiss.
