The Heartbreak
(Chapter 11)
Kagome kept tossing and turning that night. Koga laid at her side and she could heard his slow breathing which told her he was out like a light. She looked over to the door of the hut and saw Inuyasha pacing shadow on the cloth of the door. Kagome lightly removed Koga's arm from around her and silently crept out of the hut. When Inuyasha saw her he stopped mid-pace. "What do you want?" he bit out
"Can't I just come out and talk to you?" Kagome sighed and stared at Inuyasha in the moon light "Won't your mate be wondering where you are?" Inuyasha continued his pacing and didn't look at Kagome, "I guess you're not in the mood…" Kagome started to turn back but Inuyasha's words cut into her "How could you do this to me?" Kagome froze in place and was stunned "What are you talking about?" she felt Inuyasha come up to her and he stood not too far from her "You know exactly what I'm talking about…don't you dare play dumb with me Kagome."
"Inuyasha I don't know what to say at this point." Kagome was looking down at the ground and she heaved a sigh "What do you mean by that?" Inuyasha whispered never taking his eyes off of Kagome's turned down face "Are you trying to tell me you don't love me anymore?" Inuyasha's heart was hurting "I never said that." Was all Kagome said and it made Inuyasha's blood boil "What then? You can honestly stand here and tell me that you still love me and then return and sleep curled up to him?!" Kagome face fell even more
"Kagome all I want to know is the truth." Inuyasha blurted out, Kagome raised her head and looked at Inuyasha "I will tell you the truth because you deserve to hear it." Kagome fell silent and Inuyasha gave her a look to edged her on "I'm in love with two men and I don't know which one I want to be with…I'm mated to Koga and it fells right but then if it's so right why do I feel like this whenever I'm around you? You both make my heart race and you both make me feel special. You did hurt me a lot, but I still love you and that means something doesn't it?" Kagome paused and Inuyasha took that opportunity and brought her lips to his.
The kiss was short and passionate; Inuyasha tasted the cherry blossoms on her lips and remembered the day she bought that Chap Stick in her own time. When they pulled away Kagome had tears running down her face, "Kagome?" Inuyasha started to say but Kagome was through the hut door and he watched as the curtain swung back and forth.
Inuyasha stayed outside in the cooling night until he heard that Kagome's tears had stopped and she was fast asleep. When he entered the hut he was surprised to see that Kagome was in the corner of the hut curled up in a ball and away from Koga. Did I hurt her that bad? Inuyasha thought to himself, he pulled his sword and its sheath out of his kimono and sat down by the entrance to the hut he wrapped his arms around his sword and leaned his head against the wall and started to drift to sleep.
In the morning Inuyasha woke up to see everyone but Kagome and Koga. "Where did they go?" Inuyasha said rubbing his eyes "I'm not sure. When we woke up they were already gone." Sango said storing the soup they had eaten last night "Koga woke up early and saw Kagome asleep in the corner and saw the look on her dreamless face. He picked her up and carried her out." Kaede said bringing a pale of water in from the stream
"I wonder why he did that." Miruko questioned staring at Sango's behind "He was probably worried for Kagome's well-being. I heard her up crying half the night away." Kaede said giving a look to Inuyasha saying I know you had something to do with that, Inuyasha looked out the pulled back down and into the sunlight wishing that Kagome was ok.
Kagome's eyes slowly opened and she heard the soft sound of a water fall. When she looked around she started to recognize where she was and the strong arms that were carrying her further into the cavern. "Why are we here?" Kagome spoke not meaning for her voice to come out as a whisper.
"I saw how upset you were even in your sleep. And I thought that you needed to get away from everything for a while. Have some alone time." Koga said putting her down lightly, he stepped back a little and looked her straight in the eye, "I will be back for you in a couple days. I will not be far; I will be in screaming distance if you need me." Koga turned to leave and Kagome watched him walk away, when he was by the mouth of the cave he heard running footsteps and then familiar arms go around him "Please don't leave." Was all she whispered and that broke Koga's self-control, he spun around lifted her into his arms and as she buried her head into his shoulder he carried her further into the cave once more to the make-shift bed they had created the last time they were here.
