____________________________________________________________________________

'He heard that? Shit!!!!'. what was I going to tell him.'would he hold it against me if I said yes?' "Why do you care?" I curtly asked him. "You still love kikyou!!" I could feel the tears building up in my eyes. I jumped up and tried to run for the door but was stopped as two hands firmly grabbed my waist and pulled me back.

"Kagome..." he sighed in my ear. He wrapped his arms around my waist pulling me back against his body. Tears gathered up in the corner of my eyes and flowed over, falling silently down my face. 'Please don't do this to me Inuyasha. Please don't tell me that you're still in love with her. I don't think I could handle that.' I struggle to move away from him, but in response he pulled me closer and hugged me tighter. "Kagome." he said again.

"What?!" I snapped at him. "You're going to tell me that you still love her!!! Aren't you?!" my sobs racked my body. I slumped over in his arms covering my face with my hands. My weight shifted and a rough finger gently brushed away my tears. His fingers softly stroked my cheek as I continued to sob. This was a side of Inuyasha that I had never seen before. He was being so caring. I figured it was because he knew he was going to break my heart into a million pieces. He was going to tell me that he still had feelings for the dead bitch Kikyou. If he did I would never speak to him again. I couldn't handle it any more.

"That's where you're wrong Kagome." his fingers stopped stroking my face. "I do admit that I did love her..." a scream built up in my throat and tore its way out as a strained gasped. I felt like I was going to die. He did love her. How could he love me, I was nothing more that a device used to find jewel shards. "Kagome?" he pulled my face towards his. "Kagome...that was in the past. I said I 'did' love her. I loved her when she was alive and breathing. I don't love her anymore."

My breath hitched as he said that last line. In one swift movement my body was jerked around and I was facing him. He still hadn't let me know how he felt about me although I was pretty sure I already knew. He rubbed small circles on my back trying to calm me. I fell into his chest letting my tears stain his clothes. One of his hands snaked its way up my back and tangled in my hair. I grabbed fist fulls of his shirt not wanting him to let me go, but also hating him for giving me the wrong impression, making me think that I actually meant something to him.

"I hate you Inuyasha..." I whispered against his chest.

"What?!" he jerked back, looking at me like I had just slapped him. "Why?! I mean I thought.."

I cut him off "because....because I want you to love me but I.... " I choked on my words.

He hugged me as tight as he could without breaking me. It felt good but it didn't feel tight enough. "Kagome, you don't understand....I don't know how to tell you this."

Suddenly it felt like if he let me go I would fall to pieces. I knew he was about to tell me that he didn't actually love me. He was going to say something like 'im sorry but I don't like you that way' or some other horrible line that would crush me.

"Kagome......I..... I'm in love with you to."
