Third chapter is here! :) Thank you to all of my reviewers who have inspired me to continue with this story, even though I have a butt load of college homework. You're all the best!


Rejection

Kagome relaxed out in the sun for what seemed like forever when Sango suddenly walked into view. Kagome immediately sprung to her feet as her friend stood beside her.

"Well, what happened? Start from the beginning!" Kagome felt a flutter in her stomach when she noticed the look on Sango's face. She was…smiling. Something good must've happened between taijiya and hanyou.

"Okay. So here's what happened…"

Sango was walking through the forest the next day after Kagome's ordeal. "Poor Kagome," she thought. "She loves Inuyasha so much, it's almost unbearable for her! Stupid Inuyasha…he better have a damn good explanation for what he did to her."

Eventually she stumbled upon Inuyasha, who was sitting in the boughs of Goshinboku, looking up into the sky. Sango cleared her throat before she spoke. "Care to explain what happened last night, Inuyasha?" The boy looked down in surprise, obviously too caught up in his thinking to notice his human companion. He jumped from the tree and landed gracefully next to Sango.

"What're you talking about, Sango?" he looked at her in question. Sango sighed, "You know damn well what I'm talking about! Why did you reject Kagome last night? I thought you loved her! Or at least that's what Miroku tells me you say…"

A look of recognition flashed across Inuyasha's face. He blushed before replying. "I'm no good with words and you all know that, so I'll just come straight out with it." Sango tapped her foot impatiently, waiting for him to continue.

"I do…love Kagome. I was just shocked when she kissed me. I didn't think she could love someone as dirty as I am," he said sadly. "I guess I understand that, but if you love her, why push her away?" At that, the hanyou looked up at her with pleading eyes. "I had to! I can't give Kagome what she needs while Kikyo is still out there. It's not fair to either of them."

Sango grunted her annoyance, but before she could speak she was interrupted by Inuyasha. "Sango, I wanted to tell Kikyo that I chose Kagome before she and I got…intimate," he blushed. "Kikyo deserves that much at least." Dawning realization spread across Sango's face. "Why couldn't you just tell Kagome?" she asked.

"I didn't think she would understand. I wanted to tell her that I love her, too after I had my last talk with Kikyo," Inuyasha pleaded for Sango to understand. "I fucked up though. I realize that now. I just want Kagome back…" Sango nearly jumped for joy. "Go tell her, Inuyasha! After I speak with her, you need to tell her everything you told me. Understood?" Inuyasha nodded his head, a small smile forming on his lips.

Kagome was shocked, to say the least. Her mind was running a million miles a minute and she couldn't stop it for the life of her. She looked at Sango with hopeful eyes. "Where is he?" Sango pointed to the base of the hillside. There, standing in the shade of the trees, was Inuyasha. His eyes locked with Kagome's as he started to move towards her.

"I'll take my leave now. Tell me everything later tonight," Sango squealed to Kagome, who only shook her head in response.


Oooh, cliff hanger. Hahahaha. Don't worry, there's another chapter. I just want to see if anyone liked this one. I'm a little worried considering I haven't written a FanFic in years.
