The Heartbreak

(Chapter 6)

Kikyo stared at Inuyasha first with shock and then with understanding, she knew this day was going to come when Inuyasha loved another more than her. "If that is your choice Inuyasha." Was all Kikyo said, "Kagome I will still help you through this… I will be back to check on your progress." Kikyo's soul eaters carried her away and as they did tears slid down her cheeks from the loss of her loved one.

"Kagome I really did mean what I said. I wanted you both to hear me at the same time and hear how sure I was of my words." Inuyasha turned back to Kagome, tears were pouring out of her eyes and she was clenching her chest above her heart, her knees started to buckle and Inuyasha caught her before she hit the ground and held her close. Kagome rested her head on Inuyasha chest and let the tears flow, she listened to the passionate beats of his heart. Inuyasha leaned down and whispered to her, "Do you hear that Kagome? It only beats because of you."

Kagome's closed her eyes and melted into Inuyasha's warmth and safety. After a while Inuyasha tilted Kagome's head up and kisses her gingerly on the lips and then it turned more passionate and the kisses lasted longer. Kagome started to have visions of Koga holding her like this and kissing her just like this and she pushed away from Inuyasha forcefully and jumped to her feet. "I can't do this right now. Just please leave me alone." Kagome ran off into the woods leaving Inuyasha standing there staring after her in shock and worry.

"What happened? Where Kagome?" Sango questioned when Inuyasha came back without Kagome. "She went back to her own time." Inuyasha said dryly not stopping to talk to Sango. "Is she coming back?!" Shippo shirked, Inuyasha head fell and he let his hair fall into his face. "I'm not sure." That got everyone to stop following him; they took one more look at Inuyasha and ran to the bone eaters well. Inuyasha tsked, "That wouldn't do anything to bring her back." Inuyasha walked into the tree line and jumped high into one of the nearby trees.

"Kagome sweetie. You're back so soon." Kagome's mom said when she walked through the door almost like a zombie, "Yeah I had a lot on my mind." Kagome kept walking to her bedroom, "Honey are you alright?" Kagome's mom yelled after her "I'm fine." Kagome mutter and went up to her room.

Kagome flopped down and her bed and laid there. Her eyes were dried out from all the crying she had done and she didn't think she had any water left in her to produce more tears. Kagome flipped over on her back and stared up at the ceiling remembering what had happened with Inuyasha. "When I ran off, he followed me." Kagome whispered to herself.

"Kagome wait up!" Inuyasha yelled running to catch up with her. "I told you to leave me alone." Kagome tried walking faster but nothing changed Inuyasha was still keeping pace with her. "I will not leave you alone. You are hurting and I want to know why." Inuyasha said, Kagome stopped dead in her track and whipped to the side to stare Inuyasha right in the eyes. They were only a few feet from the well. "I am hurting because I was mated to Koga and I let him die. I held his life in my hands and I threw it away like it was nothing. My heart feels like it's going to explode with sorrow. And I can't get Koga out of my head everything I do. Everything you do to me, reminds me of him." Inuyasha was stunned by Kagome's words; he didn't even have time to conjure up a response because Kagome ran to the well and leaped into it, leaving Inuyasha standing there broken and confused.

Kagome lifted her arm up and covered her eyes, her head was pounding and the room was spinning. "I guess I wore myself out." Kagome said to herself smirking. Within minutes Kagome was fast asleep.

"Inuyasha you have to go after her!" Shippo yelled from the bottom of the tree, Inuyasha and sighed and put his head behind his head. "Kagome needs time to herself right now." Inuyasha remembered the pain and sorrow that was flooding her eyes before she left for her own time. "What she needs is someone there for her." Shippo said crossing his arms. "Trust me Shippo, its better if we give her a couple of days in her own time to calm down. When you're older you'll understand better." Inuyasha leaned back against the tree trunk and closed his eyes done with this conversation, Shippo huffed and walked away.

When Inuyasha knew Shippo was far enough away, Inuyasha leaped out of the tree and started running toward the bone eaters well.
