The Heartbreak

(Chapter 3)

Kagome explained the whole story to Ginta and Hakkaku. "Why didn't you pick Koga?! For god sakes you were his mate!" Hakkaku yelled angry flashing in his eyes, Kagome looked at the ground "I know I was physically but I wasn't mentally. I mated with Koga because I was broken from Inuyasha cheating on me and Koga was there with open arms." Kagome felt like her heart was sinking

"How could you?!" Ginta yelled "He loved you! And you betrayed him letting him die when you could have saved him!" Ginta got to his feet and curled his fists "You will not touch her." Inuyasha said stepping out of the shadows, the top half of his kimono was off and he was heavily bandaged.

"Stay out of this Inuyasha. This is pack business none of yours." Hakkaku said, Kagome shook her head "Inuyasha its fine I deserve this. I let Koga down and I should be punished for it." Kagome hung her head read for whatever was coming; before Inuyasha could reach Ginta slapped Kagome across the face hard enough to send her flying of her knees and the rest of the way to the ground.

Inuyasha growled and stepped forward, "Don't make me send you scream after your leader." Inuyasha eyes were filled with angry and he looked like he was about jump them and kill them. "Inuyasha don't." Kagome said sitting up holding her reddened cheek. "I will not let them hurt you. You did nothing wrong this all happened because of Naraku so if you two idiots want to put your anger on someone put it on Naraku not Kagome." Inuyasha walked over to Kagome and helped her to her feet and started guiding her away from the grieving wolves.

"You didn't have to do that." Kagome spoke softly "Yes I did." Inuyasha stopped them and made Kagome look into his eyes, "You saved me after everything I put you through. You saved my life and took the punishment. You still love me even though I had a fling with Kikyo. You gave up being with Koga that never did anything like that to you. And I just have one question. Why do all this for me?" Inuyasha finished and Kagome eyes saddened

"I did it because I'm in love with you Inuyasha. I have been in love with you for a very long time now but I was always too afraid to admit it thinking you wouldn't return my feelings. And I've always been raised that you do anything you can to protect the people that you love from everything." Kagome finished and started to walk away but Inuyasha grabbed her arm and held her there "I'm in love with you too Kagome and I'm so sorry that it took so long for me to figure this out." Kagome looked back at him with wide eyes "You are the only one I want and the only one I will be with." Inuyasha said pulling her into a tight embrace "You don't have to forgive me now if it's not hard or you not ready but I will swear to you right here right now I will earn your forgiveness and trust back." Inuyasha pulled her tighter against him not wanting to let go but after a few minutes he let her go and saw that she had silent tears running down her face

"Inuyasha…" Kagome whispered Inuyasha couldn't take it anymore he kissed the tears off her cheeks and then brought his lips to hers. They shared a long and passionate kiss after they pulled away Kagome broke out into more tears remember what had happen to Koga and how Koga was gone from this world. Kagome started to really sob and her body was shaking. Inuyasha picked her up bridle style and she buried her head in his shoulder and sobbed as Inuyasha started to slowly walk back to Kaede's hut.
