"She saw me? With Kikyo?"

"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."
o0o0o0o
"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!"
o0o0o0o
"The love I feel for her is nothing more than friendship!"
Kagome's heart 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."
o0o0o0o
"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 Love So Cold
Chapter Three: It's Hard to Forgive and Forget
Three Years… That was how long he had known her for. They had been through so much together. After Kagome was almost killed by the Thunder Brothers, InuYasha realized he loved the modern day priestess; and now that he had finally told her, she denied him.
InuYasha stared into the eyes of Kagome. "She's going to say haha just kidding… right? No… I thought she…"
"What?" InuYasha asked with a voice of heartbreak.
"I said get away from me. I don't want to hear your lies." Kagome replied.
She almost felt sorry for InuYasha as he stumbled backward; looking more defeated than he ever had.
The pain InuYasha felt was so extreme, not even the time Sesshomaru ripped a hole into his stomach had hurt so bad.
It took him a while to process exactly what she had said. "Lying? You think I'm lying? Kagome I meant what I said. I love you."
Not even hesitating she answered. "No… I don't even think you know what love is." She moved closer to him.
"If you loved me, you wouldn't treat me the way you do. If you loved me, you wouldn't run to her every time knowing that it hurt me. If you loved me, you wouldn't kill me inside almost everyday for three years!" Kagome took a deep breath and lowered her voice and spoke softly. "You don't love me and if you really do… I don't want it. All it does is make me hurt."
Kagome hugged herself and lowered her head as she held in yet another wave of tears. "I love you InuYasha. I always have. I never asked anything of you and if I did, it wasn't much. I never asked of you to change. I stood by your side even when you hurt me over and over again. I gave you everything and never once expected anything in return. I can't take it anymore. I'm tired of it all."
After taking a few deep breaths, she lifted her head up and spoke the words that would forever haunt InuYasha.
"I want you to leave…"
The half-demon did not even to bother to catch himself as he fell, slamming his back into the wall. When he once again set his golden orbs onto those of the woman he loved, tears threatened to fall from not her eyes, but his.
InuYasha glared at her not with hatred or anger but with heartbreak and sadness. "You… You want me to… You want me to leave?"
"Yes."
"Forever?" he asked.
"Yes… No- I mean… I don't know…" said Kagome. "I want you to leave so I can think. I don't want you to come back. No matter how long I take."
InuYasha was bombarded with the sensation of hope at these words. "You will come back… won't you?"
"I don't know."
"Oh…" He once again was filled with sorrow.
Minutes had past before Kagome spoke again. "If I come back, then I forgive you and if I don't come back then I don't forgive you. No matter what though, I will always love you. Whether that is a good thing or not, I don't know. Just please… leave."
InuYasha grabbed her and held her close so quickly she did not realize it.
His warm breath tickled her ear as he spoke. "In case this is goodbye." He whispered. "I love you."
With that InuYasha tenderly and lightly kissed Kagome on the forehead, released her, and flew into the air and back down the well leaving a stunned and sobbing Kagome to fall to the floor once again.
