Impossible Love

Chap 4

YuirYaoiHet_ILoveEmAll!!!!!

Pain. That's all she could think about. Kagome's head lolled to the side and she groaned. She vaguely realized that she'd been treated and dressed and was lying on a futon. There were strange noises echoing off of the walls that, after a few moments, could be deciphered as voices.

"How is she?" A male voice asked.

"Oh, Inuyasha! How charming! You care!" A woman's voice said excitedly. "Then I haven't misinterpreted the mating mark on her neck!"

A low growl that she recognized as Inuyasha's, reached her ears. "That's none of your business, Iyayuma!" He snapped.

She laughed. "Fine. It's none of my business, but can you at least tell me that were not the one who gave her those horrific injuries? Or were you that desperate to mate her and she was unwilling?"

"I've told you! It was that damned wolf that gave her those! He did that to her! And if he ever so much as looks at her again I'll . . ." He paused for a moment to get his anger under control. "And as for that mark, I only did that to ensure that he'd never try anything like that again. I did it for her safety!"

"You do know that as long as she remains unmated completely, that she's still in danger?" Iyayuma asked.

There was a deep sigh from Inuyasha. "I know, but I can't mate her! At least not yet!" Their voices faded as they walked on.

Anger suddenly flared inside of Kagome. Argh! That cocky, arrogant, pigheaded son of a bitch! If he thinks that I'll just run into his open arms when he gets ready, then he's got another thing coming! She then put a hand to the junction of her neck and shoulder in shock. The mark! Then it wasn't a dream!

She got up, ignoring her body's painful protests and walked to the large reflector slab in the corner. It was really nothing more than a piece of wood, but the surface had been worn so smooth with sand and so finely polished that she could see her reflection in it.

She quickly moved the collar of the shirt down, wanting to make sure before she got really pissed. There it was; the mating mark. Or at least thats what she thought thecrimson cresent moon on her neck was. She'd never seen one, but she did know that the mark on her neck was not there before. She glared at it with a deep loathing. What in the hell did he think he was doing? She thought angrily. She spun away from the reflector.

"INUYASHA!" She yelled, picking up a vase full of flowers.

He was at her door in an instant. "Kagome! What is it?! What's wrong?!" He leapt aside to dodge the vase. "Oy, wench! What'd you do that for?!" He yelled, dodging a chair.

"You sneaking bastard! How dare you take advantage of me?!" She was throwing every object she could lift at him.

A wooden brush connected with the side of his head. "Ow! Stupid bitch! I never took advantage of you!"

"Hai, you did!"

"No, I didn't! Besides, you didn't seem to be resisting!"

"I was delerious, you hentai!" She screamed, still throwing things at him.

"Would you stop that?!" He yelled, dodging an empty water bucket. "You're gonna hurt yourself!"

"What do you c-" She was cut short by a sudden jolt of pain so intense that it bent her double and brought tears to her eyes.

Without a word, he rushed over and picked her up in his arms. She was so dizzy she couldn't resist him. He laid her down on the futon and sat beside her, until the pain subsided.

"Stupid girl, "He muttered. "I told you that you'd hurt yourself. Why won't you listen to me?" He glared down at her. "Have you changed your mind about trusting me that quickly?"

She was startled by the hurt in his voice and looked up at him. His ears were drooped and he suddenly looked so tired and worried that she almost felt guilty. Is he really upset or is he just trying to confuse me? If he trying the later then he's doing a damn good job of it! She thought angrily.

She glared up at him. "Don't you dare start throwing curves at me, Inuyasha!" She hissed.

He growled. "What's that supposed to mean?"

"Just because you turned out to be the unlikely hero, that doesn't mean I owe you anything."

He jerked back as if she'd slapped him. "What?!" he glared. "I saved your scrawny ass from that rapist wolf! If I hadn't been there you'd be dead right know and then-"

"I never asked for your help!" She interrupted.

"Oh, so I guess I just imagine you screaming my name ?!"

She glared at him. "It's not my fault, it's yours! You keep me locked up here in the Western lands and isolated from the rest of the pack! Even after your father said it was alright if I met some of the clan! Your mother, your father, Iyayuma and you are the only people I know in the whole world!" She suddenly started sobbing. "I can't even remember what my mother and father look like, because you won't even let me see them!" She rolled over and buried her face in her pillow.

Inuyasha sat there, appalled. He'd never thought about her family when he'd prevented her from going home. He'd only cared about not letting her leave, because it pained him when she wasn't around, though he'd never admit it.

He looked at the sobbing ebony haired girl and saw her in a new light. He'd always wondered what made her so untrusting and so seemingly emotionless and what had cased her to start acting like that. Now he knew.

He was the cause. He'd unknowingly kept her away from her family and he was the one who decided to keep her in isolation. I really have been a bastard to her, haven't I? He thought mournfully.

He turned her over and gathered her gently into his arms, careful not to hurt her. "Gomen, Kagome, I . . ."

She pushed away from him. "Leave me alone."

"Kagome . . ."

"No!" She lay back down. "I don't want your apologies. I don't want your pity and I don't want your sympathy." She didn't look at him. "I don't want anything to do with you."

"Kagome, please . . ." He whispered desperately.

"Stop!" She glared at him. "Didn't you hear me? I don't want you around me! I don't want to see you! I hate you!" She finished in a yell.

"Why?" He spat. "Just tell me why."

"Why?! Why?!" She sputtered. She sat up and glared at him. "You've already ruined my life enough, that's why! Whenever I'm around you, I get hurt, or shunned, or ridiculed! I don't want a life like that!" She looked away. "If I'm going to be stuck her and secluded from everyone, then . . ." She took a deep breath. ". . . then I want to be secluded from you too."

"W-What?" He stammered.

She looked up at him, her eyes emotionless. "If you can keep me secluded from the rest of the clan, then I'm sure that you can avoid me, too." She said in a voice as emotionless as her eyes.

He looked startled and hurt for a moment, but his expression turned neutral so fast, she wonder if she'd really seen it. He nodded and got up, then walked to the door. "If that's what you wish, then, goodbye, Kagome, love." He shut the door behind him.

Okay. I know thses chapters seem short, but once I get up to chapter 7 they will get a little longer. Also, after this chapter, I won't be able to post every night anymore. I may go ahead and post the next two chapters tonight. Reveiw and maybe I will.
