How can we be lovers?

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha, if I did well I don't think I would be writing on fanfiction ha-ha

Kagome is tired of being put through hell every time Inuyasha decides to go see Kikyo. She finally masters her powers and becomes one of the most powerful miko's known to mankind. Inuyasha puts his foot in his mouth over and over, but can Kagome forgive him? Will Inuyasha finally see that he's losing Kagome because he can't admit his feelings?

Chapter 1- Do you even care?

Kagome slowly walked through the forest smiling as she remembered Inuyasha holding her tight in the fields as they watched the sunset. Kagome went on walking for another 5 minutes until she saw a sight that made her heart break. Inuyasha and Kikyo, what are they doing out here? Does he even care if I see them together? I knew he wouldn't be able to keep his promise. Kagome didn't know what happened next but there was a purple light surrounding the rosary beads around Inuyasha's neck and he started to fall to his knees. He felt anger overwhelm him, he didn't know where it was coming from and he didn't like the feeling of dread washing over him. Inuyasha ran away back to the camp leaving behind a concealed Kagome and a very confused Kikyo.

"You just can't stay away from him can you Kikyo. You know that every time he goes running to you it stirs up trouble between the group. That's why you come around, thinking that you can get me to go back to my time and stay there. IT WON'T HAPPEN YOU CLAY BITCH!! I will be with Inuyasha until the Jewel is complete, I will make the wish, not Inuyasha." hissed Kagome. All of a sudden a glow surrounded Kikyo and white lights shot out from her. "No this can't be happening, Inuyasha help me please!!" Kikyo cried as the rest of Kagome's soul left her and was restored in Kagome. Kagome walked away and headed back to the forest as a bright pink light was let off behind her.

Kagome knew that Kikyo had souls revive her and fast but she had no miko powers left thanks to her soul returning to her. She muttered a spell to cover Kikyo's scent on her body. As she came into view of the camp Kagome smiled as she watched Shippou run towards her. Kagome was about to catch him when a Inuyasha jumped in front of her. "Where were you wench? I thought I told you not to go off alone huh?" he asked. "Inuyasha... SIT..SIT..SIT...SIT...SIT...SIT...SIT..SIT..SIT..SIT..SIT!" yelled Kagome. She continued to walk on until she noticed Shippou looking at her weirdly. "What is it Shippou?" She asked softly.

"Kagome you smell like you did the first time you came here, I remember smelling your blanket after your soul got taken. Is your soul complete again?" he asked. Kagome smiled feeling Inuyasha's eyes looking at her. "Yes baby it is, I was walking by in the forest when the rest of my soul came flying at me. I believe in sensed my anger and hurt so It decided to come back to me and try to fix the problem it had been causing. I mean I don't feel any better but I'm feeling stronger wanna see what I figured out to do now that the rest of my souls back son?" she said. Shippou nodded excited to see his mother do something cool. Kagome fixed her eyes on something and all of a sudden it shot up and flew towards the young boy standing behind her, hitting him in the stomach. Shippou gasped and ran towards Kaeades hut to tell the others what he saw. Kagome smiled and turned around to the grumbling hanyou. "Stupid bitch, what the fuck was that for?" he sneered. Kagome looked at him and then towards the sky.

"Inuyasha If you don't start to smarten up, I will not stay around. I can't take this much longer, knowing that you only see me as a shard detector. I will take Shippou with me since I know concealment charms now. I may decide to take Miroku and Sango, but I don't think they would want to leave here. My powers have gotten so strong Inuyasha that if you anger me enough, they will purify your ass without my permission... only because my powers believe it's the right thing to do." Kagome said sadly and quickly ran to her hut. Inuyasha stood stunned at what just happened. He knew that Kagome knows that he went to see Kikyo, he couldn't help but go see her. He loves... well maybe not love, but he still has feelings for the dead miko. He had feelings for Kagome, but he didn't know what kind. He sighed and watched as stars started to appear in the sky. He kept thinking about the explanation Kagome gave for getting the rest of her soul back and it didn't seem very truthful. He knew the anger he felt was Kagome's and her powers made him come back to camp. He jumped up into his tree and settled in for the night.

Kagome was in her hut getting ready for bed, she smiled knowing that her soul was hers and no one was powerful enough to take it away again, not that her soul would let it happen again. As Kagome brushed her teeth and washed her face she thought over the different memories that her and Inuyasha had. She immediately stopped and went to the window. She looked at the stars twinkling in the night sky. "Do you even care Inuyasha, that your slowly breaking my heart. Do you even care that I can't stand to see you leave me to go to her.. to see you in a loving embrace when all I wanted to do was be the one that you held like that." Kagome whispered into the wind, and went to crawl onto her bed. She didn't know that Inuyasha had heard what she whispered.

Inuyasha looked down at Kagome's hut in guilt knowing that he had hurt her worse then he thought. All he thought about when he saw Kikyo was how he promised to always be with her. He forgot his promise to always protect Kagome. He knew what he had to do, but he didn't know what would happen once he had to choose between the two women. Kagome was beautiful, she had long black hair, beautiful blue eyes that he swore he drowns in, a body that was fit and wasn't too skinny. She had a smile that would light up the world, that made him melt inside. Kagome also was caring, independant and out-going, he didn't want to forget smart too. Now Kikyo on the other hand wasn't the same she was cold, uncaring, dark and too full of revenge. Inuyasha hated to compare but, even before he did he knew that he would always be with kikyo in spirit but he refused to leave Kagome alone, he also didn't want to lose Shippou, the little fox had become like a son to him. Inuyasha went off and found roses near by. He picked a whole bunch and headed back to the Kagomes hut. He quickly went in and put the roses in a few vases and sat against the wall, he never took his eyes off of Kagome. He felt his eyes closing and was soon lost to the dream world with Kagomes words still in his mind. Do you even care??
