***Author's note: hey, I didn't plan on making anymore chapters for this fanfic, so this chapter is from both Kikyo's POV, and Inuyasha's POV. And a little from Kagome's. I really hope you like it!!!

FYI: I don't own Inuyasha.

How Could You Do That To Me, Inuyasha?!

Inuyasha's point of view

Later that night, I saw Kikyo's soul collectors. I started towards them. I owed her an explanation. That I didn't choose her, I chose Kagome. I never chose her. I think the reason I never claimed her was because I never really loved her. She didn't loved me for what I am, she had wanted me to become human.

I once loved Kikyo, but not anymore. I just felt responsible for her death. If I never decided to meet her in the field, would she have lived and died of old age? Would she have pinned me to the Sacred Tree? Would I have met Kagome?

I know even if I didn't meet Kikyo in that field that day long ago, I would have still met Kagome. Somehow, I would have found her. I knew I was meant to be with Kagome. That's why Naraku set Kikyo and myself against each other. We were never meant to be with each other.

It is true that you never forget your first love. I never forgot Kikyo. But it's not like she'd let me. She always shows up when I stop thinking about her for a bit. She didn't want me to forget her. She told me that.

I ran through the trees, towards the smell of grave dirt and the faint scent of her that is mostly drown out by the grave dirt scent. Kikyo was standing in the clearing, looking at the sky.

"Hello, Inuyasha," she said with out looking at me. "I knew you would come."

"Kikyo, I came to tell you something important," I told her.

I looked at her, and had a knot of guilt in my stomach. She wanted me to go to Hell with her, but that was not something I could do anymore.

"I know," she stated sadly.

That made me feel even more guilty. I didn't want to hurt her, but that's what will happen when I tell her my choice.

While I move forward and change everyday, she's stuck the way she is. Her emotions don't change, her appearance, she will remain the same as she is for the rest of forever. I change, my emotions, everyday I fall more in love with Kagome. The more I fell, I have gotten to a point that if I lose her, I will die inside. Even if she rejects me, I will die inside.

"Kikyo, I'm sorry, but I can't go to Hell with you. I don't love you anymore, I've chosen Kagome," I said quietly.

Kikyo's point of view

I knew this was coming, but I did not want to see it. Like I have once told Kagome, I told her to get out of the cave. If she didn't then Inuyasha would lose her, too. I know I am not alive anymore, but it hurt to say goodbye to him. When I woke up to this life, I hated him. I don't think I do anymore. And now that I think about it, I don't think I ever really loved him. I never really loved him for him. But now I see that he's a great person just the way he is.

"Kagome's a lucky girl," I said calmly. I had put on my mask. I was hurt, but I couldn't let him see that. He made the right choice, and it's time for me to do the same. I need to move on, I need to let go of life. I've done it once before, but why am I afraid this time?

Inuyasha was staring at me. I could see in his eyes that he felt guilty. That was the one thing he was always bad at. Hiding his feelings. His emotions always show in his eyes, and that's why everyone can see how much he loves Kagome.

Whenever he looks at her, his eyes fill with that love. You can tell by his eyes when he's annoyed, and angry. When he's sad and hurt, calm. You can tell when he's thinking about the past, and the future. And sometimes even the present.

"What are you gonna do now, Kikyo?" Inuyasha asked me. "Naraku's dead and I have made my choice."

I paused. I knew now was the time to move on. I needed to let go now. I looked at Inuyasha, and he was staring at me. He was trying to hide his feelings, and at that I wanted to laugh.

"I'm going to move on. I don't belong here anymore, and have no more reason to stay," I stated. It was true. Then all of a sudden, Inuyasha was hugging me.

"Goodbye, Kikyo," he whispered. Then he pulled away, and ran back toward the village.

I took a deep breath, and let go of my hold on this world.

Kagome's point of view

I was too far away to hear their conversation, but when I saw Inuyasha hug Kikyo, my heart broke into tiny of millions of pieces. I turned and ran from it. I was too far away from the field that Inuyasha would not be able to hear me, or smell me, but I could see them. I felt tears in my eyes, and I felt them streaming down my face. As I ran, I whipped them away with my hand.

I know he didn't promise me that he would never go after Kikyo anymore, and I couldn't stand it. I couldn't stand that he went behind my back and was with Kikyo. How could he do this to me?! How could he betray me this way? He told me he loved me, and he went to Kikyo, and was probably telling her that he loved her!

'But you know he isn't like that,' a little voice in my mind said. My subconscious.

It was true, I knew Inuyasha wasn't like that. He wasn't a two-timer. Yes, he did tell Kikyo and myself that he would protect us all the time, but he never told me that he loved me. I don't think he even told Kikyo. So that made him free to and talk to her, and promise her things, and me too. My heart ached.

I stopped somewhere. It was farther into the forest than Inuyasha and Kikyo were, and was even farther from the village. I was under a tree, and it was very dark, and very late at night. I drew my legs up, and wrapped my arms around them.

It hurt so much. Betrayal. Having my heart shattered and the pieces blown away. Seeing him hug her. Wanting to hate him. Now, I'm back to the way I was before he told me he loved me. Except, this time, I'm more damaged. There's a hole where my heart should be. My heart is gone. I don't think I'll ever be the same now.

I don't want to feel anymore, because it hurts, more than before. I don't want to feel anymore, because when ever I do, I just get burned and hurt again. If I have a choice between pain and nothing, I think I'd choose nothing.

Nothing is safe. You don't feel anything, you can't hurt or care. It saves you from the painful things in life. It somehow seals you off from the rest of the world. It protects you. Right now, I wish I can feel nothing. Right now I wish I can't think.

Why does he do this to me? Why does he have such a huge affect on me? I can't stand it anymore! Why does he always seem to break my heart?!

How long was I here? Was it hours, or minutes? Seconds? I didn't care anyway. It's not like it matters.

Then the bushes ruffled. I froze. An animal-like demon came out of the bush. It was big and furry, but I couldn't tell what it was, since the darkness of the night.

It backhanded me, and I flew into another tree. Pain shot through my body. I weakly got up and ran from it, and climbed a tree with low enough limbs that I could reach.

Luck for me, the demon couldn't climb, and eventually left.

The darkness fought to overwhelm me, but I fought it back, I didn't want to sleep.

I pulled my legs up again, and tears still streamed my face. I wondered why I didn't scream when I saw the demon. But I guess I already started to numb. Next it was the pain and the heart ache, I hoped.

I stayed there, like that, for a long time. Well, at least that's what it felt like. Does time slow down when your heart disappears?

My body was sore from before, when I was thrown into the tree. I heard something again.

There was a sigh. "Kagome, there you are," it was Inuyasha. That made another wave of pain shoot through my chest. More tears fell.

He picked me up and jumped off the tree. He was hugging me. "What's wrong?"

I pushed him away. "I hate you!" I wish. "I never want to see you again! When I get back to the village, I'm getting my things and going home! Then I'm sealing the well!" I yelled.

When I pushed him away, his eyes shown his hurt. And that hurt me, telling me how much I still love him. When I told him I hated him, in the darkness, it almost looked like he had tears in his eyes.

Inuyasha's point of view

Why did she hate me? Tears tried to spill, but I fought them back. If she sealed the well, I would never see her again. I would lose her, and I felt my heart break. Was she lying when she said she loved me?

She just broke my heart, and just added to the scars that I already had, and was already visible to everyone. If we made up I would never feel the same, would I?

My whole life I was alone, until I found her. No one accepted me the way she does.

"I knew this was to good to be true. I'll wake up in my bed, and it'll just be a dream," Kagome cried.

"Kagome, it is real! I'm real!" I said. I saw in her eyes that she didn't believe me.

She turned away from me. She started walking, but I grabbed her wrist and spun her to me. "Don't you turn your back on me," I growled. She was the only person who loves me. She the only one I have. "Not without talking to me."

"How could you do that to me, Inuyasha?!" Kagome asked.

"Kagome, do what?"

"Go to her, after you told me you loved me! I saw you hug her!" she yelled at me.

She saw me with Kikyo. That was the one thing I tried to prevent. "I went to her because I needed to tell her I won't go to Hell with her! I didn't want you to know that I went to see her. I knew you would be upset."

"That doesn't make sense, Inuyasha! You could have told me that. You didn't need to go behind my back," Kagome said.

"I know it doesn't make sense," I mumbled.

"I don't even think I should believe you anymore," Kagome whispered.

"Kagome, listen to me," I told her. My hands were on the tops of her arms. "I love you. I can't live without you." Tears threatened to fall. She couldn't leave me. Time won't heal my wounds anymore. Only she could.

"Inuyasha, I love you too. So much. But if you keep hurting me, I can't stay here anymore," Kagome mumbled.

"I won't hurt you anymore. Kikyo moved on, and even if she didn't I wouldn't hurt you," I murmured. I hugged her again, hoping she wouldn't push me away.

She hugged me back and started to cry into my chest. I made her this sad? I wanted to kick myself again.

"I thought you betrayed me," she sobbed. "I thought you were telling Kikyo that you loved her too."

"Kagome, you know I would never do that," I muttered.

I let her cry. I think this is something she needed to do. I hated her tears, despised every tear that fell, but I let her cry. Let her cry and let out her pain.

After she was finished crying I took her back to the village. It was almost dawn.

As I was carrying her back, she fell asleep in my arms. I set her in her bed in Kaede's hut. Then I lay next to her and fell asleep.

****Author's note: I hoped you like this chapter! It was truly painful for me to write. The song that inspired part of this, the second part of Inuyasha POV is the song Faint by Linkin Park. I will make another chapter for this, and then its finished. And please check out my other stories!!! Thanks for reading and please review!!!
