The Heartbreak

(Chapter 5)

"Where'd she go?" Mirkuo asked when Sango appeared out of the hut after Kagome. "I don't know where she's going but we have to help her you guys. Kagome is worse off than I thought." Inuyasha gave Sango a puzzled looked "What do you mean she's worse off than you thought?" Sango looked in the direction that Kagome disappeared into

"We were getting ready to change and she just collapsed sobbing and holding herself. I tried to give her soothing words but she just started yelling. When she looked into my eyes I could see all the pain and the self-hatred that was lying just beneath the surface."' When Sango was finished her grabbed Inuyasha's arm "You have to help her Inuyasha." Sango pleaded "I don't think that I can. If you haven't forgotten I've hurt her too." Inuyasha looked away but Sango grabbed his chin and made him look at her "That doesn't matter right now Inuyasha. Kagome is hurting and she needs you, she will forgive you but you need to at least try and help her. Show her that you care."

Inuyasha looked nervous, "What?" Sango questioned when she spoke Inuyasha looked down in defeat. "You know I'm not good at this kind of stuff. I'm a half demon so I do have the emotions of a human but I still have the emotion of a demon. I –" Sango cut him off "You shouldn't be telling me this you should be telling Kagome this. All she wants is to hear the truth Inuyasha." Inuyasha looked at Sango and pain moved across his face then he took off running in the direction Kagome had gone.

"Kagome!" Inuyasha saw Kagome's retreating form weaving between the trees. "Hey Kagome!" Inuyasha poured on more power and stopped in front of Kagome making her stop. "What." Kagome said in a body chilling voice, her face was hung and her eyes were wet.

"Kagome you need help." Inuyasha said staring at Kagome in fear; Kagome turned her death stare on Inuyasha. "You don't know what I need. I do. And what I need is for you to leave me alone. You didn't care enough about me when we were together to not cheat on me so don't you dare tell me you care about now." Kagome tried storming off again but Inuyasha grabbed her wrist "Inuyasha don't." Kagome's death stare was back on him but all he did was look at her with a sad expression

"Kagome…" Inuyasha yanked her wrist and she fell into him, her knees gave way and Inuyasha caught her holding her upright. "I know you must feel alone but you're not Kagome. You have us, I know I have hurt you and you have every right to hate me but I'm here now trying to make up for it." Kagome was silent for a while and Inuyasha was just about to say something else when she spoke. "I don't hate you." That's all she said but that was enough for Inuyasha, he tilted her chin up and pressed his lips softly to hers. Inuyasha felt Kagome clench his shirt in her hands and she was shaking a little Inuyasha wrapped his arms around her waist so she wouldn't fall.

Inuyasha pulled her in tight into him and held her. After a while Kagome's body tensed and Inuyasha pulled away from her a little to stare at her, she was looking at something behind him. Inuyasha slowly looked behind him but already knew what it was when the wind blew past him. "What are you doing here?" Kikyo was staring at them long and hard.

"I felt Kagome's heart start to give into the darkness that laid there. But once I got closer she pulled away from the darkness she's not fully back into the light yet…" Kikyo was explaining when Kagome broke away from Inuyasha "I am leaving now." Kagome started to walk away "Kagome stop!" Inuyasha yelled and Kagome halted in her tracks

"We will get this all figured out right here right now. I am going to say my feelings and what my heart and mind have agreed on in front of both of you so there is no misunderstandings." Kikyo and Kagome turned to Inuyasha giving him their full attention

"First off Kikyo I do have a past with you and I do still love you." Kagome's face fell, "But that is the past, I am not in love with you anymore. I will not ignore that I love you but I will not act on them because you are not the one that I love." Inuyasha turned to Kagome "I am in love with you Kagome. And I have been for a while now and I am so sorry it took me until just now to finally realize it. I can see myself spending the rest of my life with you."

Kagome's eyes started to water…
