Discalimer: I do not own Inuyasha!
Summary: She's lost all hope, her heart breaking for the final time. No matter what anyone tries she doesn't respond. She is torn between going home and ever coming back or ending it all. However, a certain Daiyoukai refuses to let her give in.
Chapter 4
After a while Sesshomaru appeared in the doorway again. "Come, it's time miko." Kagome stood on her weak knees. He watched her try to walk to him and sighed inwardly as he went to her and held out his arm for her to use for balance. Once they were out front she stood behind him really not wanting to see Inuyasha again.
Almost as soon as they had gotten there Inuyasha and the others had shown up. "Where's Kagome you bastard!" Sesshomaru remained calm despite wanting to beat him to a pulp for hurting her as badly as he had. "She is here, relax half-breed." Inuyasha gripped the hilt of tetsusaiga and growled, "I swear if you hurt her-" Sesshomaru let out an audible short laugh, "I would think about that again Inuyasha, for it wasn't I who hurt her."
At that moment Kagome moved from behind him and looked at Inuyasha. Everyone seemed relieved she was ok, but her face said something different. "Inuyasha... go home.." He frowned at her words, "I came here to get you. We have work to do!" Kagome just looked down, "You can go without me.. you don't need me." He growled at her words, "We do need you Kagome!" Sesshomaru kept calm though he wanted to say something to his idiot brother for saying the wrong thing again.
Her shoulder twitched as her head flew up. The daiyoukai felt rage radiating off her and slightly stepped away. "All you need me for is to sense the jewel shards! You have HER now... you don't need me!" Inuyasha seemed confused, "What are you talking about?" Kagome's voice was almost hushed now. "You know what I am talking about..." Anger was clear in her voice, but so was hurt. Inuyasha knew what she meant, but needed to know why she was saying it. The others were lost and Sango looked at her friend, "What do you mean Kagome?" Kagome's hand flew up pointing at the flat eared hanyou. Her voice screaming now, "ASK THE TRAITOR! I SAW HIM IN KIKYO'S ARMS AS THEY..." Tears started to flow from her eyes. She couldn't bring herself to finish the sentence.
Inuyasha looked at the ground as if ashamed. Sesshomaru had stepped back over to Kagome and moved a little in front of her as she sank down to her knees crying. His voice calm for the moment, "It would be wise for you to leave now." Inuyasha growled, "Who do you think you are to speak for Kagome?!" Sesshomaru couldn't help but half smirk, "I am the one who has been trying to keep her from going insane because of your little screw up. I found her in the woods after she had hurt herself over your stupidity." Inuyasha looked down to Kagome who was holding her arm in tears as if she was hiding something.
Sesshomaru had looked down at Kagome, "Have you made your choice? Will you stay here or go back?" Inuyasha watched them hoping he didn't hear what he thought he was going to. Kagome didn't look up at him, "Inuyasha... go home.. I won't say it again.." He growled louder, "I'm not going anywhere!" Sesshomaru was growing impatient with his idiot half brother at this point, "You will go or I will force you to leave. Do not try this Sesshomaru's patience half-breed." Inuyasha pulled out his sword ready to fight him. The daiyoukai shook his head and was ready to unsheath his sword. As Inuyasha was running towards him Kagome had jumped up and threw herself in front of Sesshomaru holding out her arms looking at him angrily, "SIT!" He dropped to the ground with a large thud. "Why did you do that wench?" Sesshomaru regained his composure and watched her. She had been done crying and looked the hanyou over, "I'm staying here with him.. I don't plan to go back with you. You have Kikyo now and you don't need me. Don't come back here... I don't want to see your face for a while Inuyasha.."
He just laid there and Shippo looked at her sadly, "Does that mean I have to go too mama?" She looked at Shippo sadly, "I need some time to heal. When I'm ready I will come and get you I promise." Shippo understood, "ok mama." She looked at her two friends, "I will see you guys again soon." Sango nodded and gave her a smile, "We will wait at Kaede's village for you." She nodded and turned to face Sesshomaru, but she didn't look at him. Her eyes closed and in a swift motion he had caught her as she fainted. Sesshomaru remained calm as he held her against him, "The miko will be fine, get the half-breed out of here before I dispose of him permanently." He turned and walked towards the palace as Miroku helped a slumped over Inuyasha back home.
