Chapter 13:

Why'd You Have to Go?

Inuyasha sighed as he sniffed the air. He had been getting a faint whiff on Naraku for 2 days now. But it was like the scent was all around them. It was no stronger or weaker in any direction they went. He growled in frustration and punched a tree. The group jumped at the noise. Sango sighed and shook her head.

"You know...I never feared for the population of trees before I met Inuyasha." Miroku sighed and nodded in agreement. Kagome walked up to Inuyasha and placed a hand on his shoulder. "A-Are you okay? You're acting odd today." Inuyasha shrugged her hand off and mumbled a fine. Kagome bit her lip nervously. Inuyasha had been really quite the past couple days and today he was angry. Maybe the kiss was a bad idea. She sighed and slowed down so she could be with Miroku and Sango.

Shippo was perched on Miroku's Shoulder. He smiled brightly. "Look! A Village!" Sango looked up and sighed happily. They had been walking for 8 straight hours. Everyone was exhausted, but Inuyasha refused to stop. Miroku grinned and stretched. "Wonderful, I'll just have a talk with the head man of the village and we'll be set."

Kagome raised a brow at him. "Do you know the head man?" Shippo shook his head. "I guess you haven't seen Miroku's little act. He goes up to the head man, tells him that there's an ominous black cloud hanging over head and says he'll place sutras up in exchange for food and shelter." Kagome slowly turned her head to look at the now nervously laughing Miroku. "Wow Miroku. A Lecher and a crook. I'm impressed."

"Why thank you Lady...oh that wasn't a compliment." Sango and Kagome giggled as he rubbed the back of his head.

Inuyasha growled. "Will you all shut up. You're giving me a headache." "You are a headache Inuyasha." Kagome snapped back. She had had enough of his attitude. There was no reason for him to act that way. Inuyasha stood there, blinking, did she actually just snap back at him. She stormed right up to him and whispered so quietly that he barely heard it. "If you're mad at me over that stupid kiss, get over it. It meant nothing." And with that she walked off towards the village Miroku and Sango, following. Inuyasha stood there heart broken.

'It meant nothing to her...' His heart began to ache. Slowly he followed the others to the village.

Evening was approaching quickly and the group finally got settled in their room. Kagome sighed as she sat down. She winced as removed her boots. Inuyasha looked at her white socks and saw red stains on them. He took a whiff. Blood. How had he missed it!? He was about to walk over to her, but Shippo beat him to it.

"Kagome what happened to you feet? I thought I smelled blood on you earlier, but I figured since Inuyasha didn't say anything it must've been fine." Kagome smiled and took her socks off. "It's from all the walking today. Cause my feet aren't use to it." She winced as she inspected her wounds.

Kagome thanked the older woman who handed her a tray of food. "Wow this looks delicious." Sango nodded in agreement. Kagome ate her food and looked at Inuyasha. He was basically, glaring at his meal. She furrowed her brow. Why was he so angry that she kissed him. It was barely a peck! He looked like he was about to kiss her, so what's the big deal.

She thought for a moment. She remembered him saying that before she died, he had made his decision. She inwardly gasped. 'Maybe his decision was Kikyo. Is that what my heart is covering up? That I was in love with Inuyasha and he chose Kikyo?' Suddenly her heart felt like it was being constricted. She let out a cry and grabbed her chest. Everyone ran to her.

"Kagome! What's wrong?" Inuyasha asked.

"Scream all you want, he won't come for you this time."

"INUYASHAAAA!!!!!"

"He doesn't love you. He wants you dead."

"NO! INUYASHA PLEASE!!!!!!!!!"

Tears streamed down her cheeks. Then suddenly, her pain was gone. She blinked away the tears and looked at the group. She was now laying on her back. Her head resting in Sango's lap. Miroku and Shippo at her side. And even Inuyasha and forgotten he was in "Asshole" mode and came over. She blinked again.

'Wait....that's not Inuyasha...' Kagome got up and glared at the black haired man. "Who are you?" The group looked from Kagome to Inuyasha and then suddenly his attitude made since. It was the new moon. Of course, Kagome had never seen him human, that she remembered. Usually, Kagome knew exactly what day Inuyasha's transformation was, and they planned their trips accordingly. But the past couple, they just had to wait until Inuyasha changed.

Inuyasha blinked and looked at the skeptical girl before him. He looked at his hands, no longer did he have his claws. He had transformed and not even realized it, due to Kagome's episode. "Kagome it's me Inuyasha." Kagome blinked. It sounded like him but he was human. Then Miroku cleared his throat and explained everything to her.

Kagome listened intently and when Miroku was finished, she noticed Inuyasha was no longer in the room. She got up and walked out of the room to the garden in the back. She found Inuyasha sitting out there. Sighing, she walked over and sat down next to him. "It's cold you shouldn't be out here." He muttered. "What's it going to do? Kill me." Inuyasha glared at her. "Not. Funny." He warned. Kagome silently apologized and looked at him. "Inuyasha, why are you so mad at me? I told you the kiss didn't mean anything. I'm sorry I did it."

Inuyasha sighed. "It's not the kiss Kagome. The kiss was fine." He blushed at that statement, but continued. "It's everything. I'm just under a lot of stress right now, and to top it all off, it's the new moon tonight. I just, I wish I had the old Kagome here." He said it so soft to make sure that she didn't hear. But she did. She looked away sadly. That broke his heart. The old Kagome. That's what he wanted. It didn't matter that she was Kagome, She had her body and heart. She bit her lip as she curled her knees to her chest. She felt a burning feeling in her eyes. Tears...what he said really hurt her. She was really growing fond of him, and he says that to her. She hid her faces as the tears came out. She tried to stay quiet. She didn't want Inuyasha to know she was crying. But a small whimper escaped her lips and Inuyasha whipped his head around and looked at her.

"W-what are you doing?" He crawled over to her and she sniffled and turned away. "K-Kagome! No....please don't cry." She roughly wiped the tears away and stood up. "I'm not crying you jerk! I'm leaving! Amaya!" She called. Amaya mewed and came bouncing out. Inuyasha blinked, but arose when Amaya transformed, ready for take off. "Kagome no! Don't leave! It's too dangerous!" Kagome ripped her wrist out of Inuyasha's grasp. "You know what Inuyasha. I did perfectly fine with out you before. What makes you think I need you now."

"Kagome!" He cried in frustration, why couldn't she just listen! "Do NOT leave! You don't have that pendant anymore! And I'm human so I can't protect you tonight!" Kagome raised a brow. "Why would you protect me? I'm not the Kagome you want. I'm not good enough. Hell I bet when I was still my old self you were wishing I was someone else. Weren't you." Inuyasha flinched and looked down. "Kagome stop."

"Someone else like Kikyo?" "Enough!" He grabbed her wrist tightly and forced her down to her knees. She let out a cry in pain and Amaya jumped between them growling at Inuyasha. Amaya liked Inuyasha. But she'd never allow ANYONE to hurt Kagome. Kagome got on Amaya's back and flew off.

Inuyasha just stood there and watched, shocked at what he just did. He hurt her. He PHYISCALLY hurt Kagome. He fell to his knees and a couple tears streamed down his cheeks. "Naraku you bastard! Is this what you wanted! Me to die little by little every fucking day!? Well good job! You fucking beat me..." He whimpered out the last part as the group came running out after hearing him screaming.

"Inuyasha!" Miroku called as they ran over to him. "Where's Kagome? Did Naraku take her?" Inuyasha growled, they must've heard him cussing out Naraku. 'Of course they did you idiot! You were screaming so damn loud.' Inuyasha shook his head. "She got mad and left." Inuyasha stood up and walked inside the hut. The others exchanged confused glances before following him in.

"Inuyasha," Sango sat in front of him. "are you going to go after Kagome?" Inuyasha shrugged. "I upset her pretty badly. I think it'll be best if I leave her alone. She has Amaya." Sango nodded. Still she was worried for her friend.

'Kagome...be safe.' They all prayed.
