Chapter 8: Kamiko's Confession

"Kamiko?" Inuyasha asked her when she didn't answer his question.

"You can't or don't want to?" he asked again. Kamiko lowered her head and turned away crossing her arms as if she was trying to protect herself.

"I...I.." Kamiko stuttered as she turned to run. Inuyasha reached out and grabbed her wrist.

"Kamiko please tell me, whats wrong? why won't you let me touch you?" Inuyasha asked pulling her close and holding her by the upper arms. Kamiko looked up into his golden eyes as tears were rolling down her cheeks.
"Inuyasha...I can't say..."she started.

"Yes you can, you can tell me anything...you can trust me," he said sincerely looking deep into her eyes. At this Kamiko broke down and let her knees fall out from her sobbing. Inuyasha caught her and pulled her into a tight warming embrace. "Kamiko believe me, whats wrong?" he asked petting her hair, trying to sooth her. Inuyasha then sat down and pulled Kamiko into his lap rocking her back and forth gently, speaking to her softly, letting her cry her tears out. After a while Kamiko gave up and started talking.

"Ok, I'll tell you," she said wiping the last of her tears away.

"Yes, please tell me whats wrong, maybe I can help," Inuyasha said.

"Well...to answer your question...I don't want to have feelings for you...or anybody for that matter," Kamiko added quietly.

"Why?" he asked softly.

"Because...I...I've already had my heart broken, betrayed, and widowed enough times for a lifetime of a demon," Kamiko said.

"What do you mean?" Inuyasha asked.

"Ok, well my first love, his name was Korogan, he was gonna be my life mate, until he...he was killed," Kamiko explained painfully.

"How did he die?" Inuyasha asked.

"Mutany," she stated, "By his own pack, he was a grey wolf demon, the murdered him because they found out about our relationship, they thought it to be a discrace to the pack to wanting to become a mate to a half demon," she explained.

"Oh, wow, yeah I know the "discrace" half demons are considered, I...I'm sorry," Inuyasha said softly. yeah yeah I know Inuyasha apologize, yeah unbelivable I know

"Yeah, my next love was Hakagaro, he...betrayed me," she stated coldly, "one night he actually brought his pack to attack my family, he was a black leapoard demon. I thought he loved me and I was dead wrong," she added. Inuyasha couldn't believe anyone could do that to such a beautiful, smart, and wonderful person.

"Then there was Tanakyoru, he just droped me like a brick out of the blue one day. We were to be mated in two weeks and he came up to me and said "I've met someone," he was another wolf demon, from the gold pack. They were all about breeding. He met another golden wolf chick, beautiful of course, she would breed excellent pups," she kept on.

"Then...the most recent was Yogatoshi, he was also taken from me, murdered in a fight. He was a silver dog demon, like you Inuyasha but he was a full demon," she added quietly. "You know, he looked a lot like you...except for these adorable fuzzy ears you have, but he had the same colored eyes, actually they weren't as bright as yours," she said leaning in looking more closely in his eyes.

"Wow, I...I had no idea that you have had your heart broken so many times intentional or not, I'm sorry," Inuyasha said pulling her into his chest hugging her. Kamiko gave into the hug enjoying Inuyasha's warm embrace. Then realized how close she was to him. She pushed herself away from Inuyasha but didn't run.

"Do you see why I can't fall for you, Inuyasha?" she asked looking down.

"...NO I don't," he said making her look up.

"Wh- what?" she asked.

"I said I don't see why you can't allow yourself to fall for me," Inuyasha stated looking deeply into her eyes.

"How could you not! If I need to spell it out for you, I don't know if I can trust you not to break my heart and if I can I don't want to lose you!" Kamiko cried.

"I won't hurt you and you won't lose me," Inuyasha encouraged. "I...I love you Kamiko."

Kamiko gasped, "Wh-what?"

"You heard me, I love you," he repeated.

A/N Hey its She-Demonstriss hope yall are enjoying the story so far. Sorry if you are a fan of Inu and Kags getting together, believe me I am too but I kinda like the idea of a new girl for the Inu-hanyou. Especially since she is an Inu-hanyou too. Oh btw I base the characters of the elements off my friends and we own them together and are writing another story about these four elements which my friend should be putting on the site later. I base Kamiko off myself, so I am Kamiko, and my best friends are Kiramita and Keiko, plus the element Earth wich will be introduced later in the story, and his name is Kyoryoku, just to let you guys know. Enjoy the rest of the story. R/R please.
