Me: Hello, this is my first Inuyasha story and I do hope you enjoy it. As much as I love Inuyasha and Kagome, I wish she had given Kouga a chance. Like I do in every story I do not own Inuyasha, or any of the characters. Thank you for reading!

Inuyasha? Was Kagome's first initial thought after she heard the screen rustle, gone again, this was fourth time he had left their shared cottage, they did not share the same futon, but they shared the same space. She had noticed he would leave for a few hours at night and return looking happy, There's someone else she thought, no..he's not like that, shes gone her other side tried to reason.

Whatever it was she had to find out who it was. She waited for a few minutes making sure he didn't hear her, then she grabbed her bow and arrows in case she needed it, she slipped out the door and followed him.

Ten minutes into following Inuyasha she noticed that they were near the tree that Kikyo would always be at.

Please no...

A soul collecter approached Inuyasha, wrapping around his waist pulling him furthur into the forrrest

"Kikyo?" he called out once they were closer, he could feel her aura

No response

"I'm here." she finally responded, stepping out from behind a tree, walking to him.

He walked to her wrapping his arms around her waist holding her close. he breathed her scent in, she smelled like the earth. She gladly placed her arms around his neck, she had missed him. He kissed her forehead, looking down at his beloved priestess.

"I love you." he nuzzled his nose against her neck, she sighed. Kikyo didn't respond, she didn't have to he knew how she felt about him.

"You can't keep doing this," she pecked his lips, "eventually you'll have to choose."

He looked at her, "you know how I feel about you and what I will choose, just give me a little bit, please." she nodded.

He started kissing her neck gently and her lips, they were too enwrapped with each other that they didn't notice Kagome watching them. She didn't cry, she just stood there watching them, her heart feeling like it was being crushed into small pieces, falling and smashing over and over again.

"inuyasha." Her heart violently hammering in her chest.

His head snapped around. Shit.

"Kagome...fuck." he wasn't prepared for this, this was the last thing he wanted to do.

"I'm sorry Kagome, it's just I'm still mated to her and-"

"YOU'RE MATED TO HER AND YOU NEVER TOLD ME?!" she screamed at him

"Kagome, he has been mated to me for a while,even after death he has remaied loyal, that is the way of the yokai." Kikyo felt somewhat bad.

"Stay out of this."

"Kagome...I'm sorry..it was hard to bring it up to you and..and" I didn't want to hurt you he thought

"Inuyasha-" her voice cracked as she tried not to completly fall apart in front of him. "I left my home to be with you, I left my mother, father, and brother to stay wyith you...and you have been mated all this time."

"I'm sorry, I really-"

"don't" she was done with him, she was tired of being looked as a fool

"Kagome"

"I'm tired of this. It's not even the fact that you've been mated to her, but it's also the fact that you lied to me, sneaking off behind my back..I'm tired of this. I don't want to see you. I wish I had stayed in my time."

"You don't mean that." his felt a lump in his throat form.

"I do mean it. I wish I hadn't wasted my time with you. I wish I hadn't stayed here. I wish I was home. I wish I had never met you Inuyasha!" she screamed at him, tears running down her face.

She ran off blindly into the woods, she heard her name being called out but she kept on running, not caring where she ended up, she just wanted to get away. She kept running until she tripped on a rock, her head smacking down on the dirt. Tears continued to stream down her cheeks, she stiffled a sob.

"Kagome?"
