Italics: Thoughts
Last Time:
Here she is, eighteen year old Kagome Higurashi, sitting at the bottom of a well, curled in a ball rocking back and forth as her body shook with each cry she made. "
o0o0o0o
"That girl, my reincarnation, Kagome-"
"Doesn't matter." InuYasha quickly cut in, not knowing that someone was watching. "I love you Kikyo. I always have and I always will."
o0o0o0o
"Ka-gome…"
"What do you want?"
The thing that shocked him the most were her eyes, the windows to her soul, for they were no longer bright and happy but were dull and void.
Just like that of his deceased lover.
A Love So Cold
Chapter Two: The Truth and Tears of Good-bye
"I asked you a question."
Kagome's cold voice rang through the air causing him to flinch at her cruel tone.
"Kagome. What happened?"
"Hahahaha."
Kagome's bitter laugh echoed threw the small space sending chills down the half-demon's spine.
"What happened? As if you cared." She spoke in a monotone voice.
Because Kagome had never spoken in a voice so cruel, InuYasha was taken back in surprise. Not one to falter however, he moved closer to her hoping his nearness would comfort her.
"Kagome… of course I care."
Continuing to look him straight in the eye, Kagome replied. "Liar. I saw you with her. I heard what you said. Do not look me in the eyes and pretend as if I matter; as if you cared."
InuYasha could not help but notice her voice changing ever so slightly and her eyes flash with pain.
"She saw me? With Kikyo?"
"What did you hear?" InuYasha questioned with a slight tremor in his voice and a look of fear upon his face.
Standing up and brushing her self off, Kagome turned her eyes downward. "I heard enough. I have come to a decision InuYasha."
She turned her head once again and looked into his eyes.
"I am leaving. You can continue to look for the jewel shards on your own. I honestly do not care if you find them anymore."
With that statement, she ripped he necklace that held the jar containing the jewel shards off and threw it at him. Catching the bottle, InuYasha stared at them for a second. When he turned to look at Kagome he noticed her climbing up the ladder.
Having heard all of what she had to say, he grabbed her hand and ever so gently pulled her back down to stand next to him.
"Look at me." Anger shown in his voice.
InuYasha turned her head and furred his eyebrows. "I honestly don't know what you heard or saw but-"
"You wanna know what I heard, what I saw?!" Kagome pushed him away from her and yelled. "I HEARD you tell Kikyo I don't matter! I HEARD you tell her that you love her! And I SAW you hold her in your arms like you never wanted to let her go.
With each word her voice raised louder and louder until InuYasha flattened his dog ears to his head. He bumped up against the wall because of Kagome pushing him everytime she emphasized a word.
"That's what you heard? You didn't hear anything else?"
Kagome was furious. "I didn't need to hear anything else-"
"No!" InuYasha yelled so loud Kagome jumped in both surprise and fright. "You heard wrong! I went to Kikyo to tell her that I was not going to hell with her! I told her that I could no longer see her anymore! She blamed it on you so I told her that it doesn't matter! It doesn't matter why I don't want to go!" InuYasha closed the space between them until Kagome was backed against the opposite wall. "I told her I loved her and it is true!"
Kagome felt as if she was going be sick, as if her heart was torn to pieces for the second time that day.
InuYasha interrupted her, arguing once more. "The love I feel for her is nothing more than friendship!"
Kagome was filled with hope and confusion.
"God Damn it Kagome! Are you that fucking blind?! Can't you see?" His voice turned into a caring one. "I… I love you."
Kagome was stunned. She looked into his eyes and saw compassion.
"He loves me? He loves me?!"
Using all of her strength, she pushed him causing him to fall to the ground.
"NO!" She screamed tears running down her face. "Get AWAY from me!"
InuYasha so shocked and hurt did nothing but stare at the woman who had rejected his love.
A/N: DUN DUN DUN!!! lol I'm kidding. Although I really should stop doing that. I am happy! Another chapter! Yeah I no it's short. I'll try to make it longer. There will probably be 2 or 3 more. I'll update after a few more reviews so I know if I should continue it or not. I probably will anyways but whatever.
