The silence in the room seemed to grow thicker and thicker as the seconds ticked by. Kagome had taken at least fifty deep breaths before she'd fully calmed down. She turned her eyes back to Tamaki and frowned, his lips pulled into a mirror of that expression as he stared down at Inuyasha. Kagome slowly moved her eyes over each member of the Host Club. Honey looked a little amused, bouncing on the balls of his feet still clutching the bunny in his arms. Mori looked a little alarmed but there was also a calculating look in his eyes. Kagome vaguely wondered what was running through the silent youth's mind. Her eyes turned to Haruhi, whose face was was carefully arranged in a blank mask. Kagome felt a twinge of sympathy for the girl. Her view of the world was based on science and history, but with the arrival of this one person that whole view had been shattered. Kagome glanced quickly over at the twins, whom looked like they were plotting something that was probably not entirely smart. She forced her eyes away from them and to Kyoya, who was scribbling nonchalantly in his little black book.

By now Inuyasha was getting his footing again, rising to his feet and glaring at Kagome. Her eyes swiveled back over to him and her glare matched his. Tamaki shifted uncomfortably from foot to foot nervously, he had no idea what was going to happen now. He doubted that even Hunni and Mori could take the half demon in a fight if he decided to take Kagome by force.

"What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be back with Kikyo." Kagome said, her voice slightly cold. She was shutting down all of her emotions one by one, her face slowly pulling into a blank mask. She wasn't going to let the bastard know how much he'd hurt her. Never again was she going to cry over him. Never again was she going to let him hurt her.

Confusion passed over Inuyasha's face as she spoke. Kikyo? What did she have to do with anything? She'd been dead for the past three weeks, having no more reason to stay in the world of the living after Naraku had been destroyed. He didn't understand why she was using that tone of voice. What had he done to get this kind of reaction? He couldn't remember, but he was sure it must have been something horrible if she was this pissed.

"Kagome, would you at least talk to me? Five minutes, that's all I ask." he said, trying to make his face as pathetic as possible. His voice was pleading.

Kagome felt her heart give a twitch, it still hurt her to hurt him. Damn it all to hell, why could she not squash all of her feelings!? She stared at him for a moment then glanced over at Tamaki. He gave a noticeable shake of his head. Kagome bit her lip in indecision, would it be better to break everything off cleaning and tell him that she couldn't come back..ever. Would that just make him angry and he'd drag her off anyway? She didn't know but she was going to have to give in and talk to him if she wanted him to leave. She stared at Tamaki with pleading eyes, she knew how protective he was and how much he hated Inuyasha but she had to close all of this once and for all.

He could see it in her eyes, she'd already made her decision. He didn't like it but she was going to do it anyway and he couldn't stop her. Maybe it would help her? Or maybe it would hurt her more than it already did. She was taking that chance but she was a big girl and could make her own decisions, Tamaki had no right to tell her what to do. He sighed and Kagome gave him a thankful look. She shot Inuyasha a glare and motioned for him to follow her. She could feel the Host Clubs eyes on them as they walked out but she ignored it. Her mind was on what she was going to tell him, how she was going to break the news that she wasn't coming back no matter what he said.

She stopped right outside the door and turned to face the silver haired half demon. He stopped a looked a little sheepish now that they were alone. He knew her temper and knew what she could do once pissed. If only he could remember how he'd pissed her off. He'd been sure that she'd just wanted to go home for a little while but now he was having a few doubts. One of them being facilitated by the pain from the sit he'd just received.

"You better start talking, this is the only time you're going to get." she said, her voice firm and distant.

Inuyasha pulled himself out of his thoughts and back into what he was doing. He only had once chance at this, he had to give her the biggest guilt trip of her life. Maybe that would get her to come back?

"Kagome, please. What ever I did I'm sorry and I probably deserve the way you're treating me but don't take it out on the others. They miss you, a lot. Miroku and Sango miss you but they won't show it because they have to be strong for Shippo. He's not doing well Kagome, you were the closest thing to a mother he had and then you left him. All he does is sit and stare at the well, we can barely get him to eat." Inuyasha, his voice as pleading as he could make it.

The stab to her heart almost made her gasp but she kept quiet and glared at him. That was a low blow and he knew it. She could feel the tears welling up behind her eyes as she imagined the little boy staring down the well. She felt another stab of pain and bit the inside of her cheek to stop from whimpering. How could Inuyasha be so cruel as to use them against her. She took a calming breath and glared at him with all of the hatred that she felt at the moment.

"That was low Inuyasha and you know it." she growled. Her anger and pain gave her the push she needed to say what she needed to say to get him to go away.

"Inuyasha I'm going to put it simply so you can understand it: I belong here and you belong in the past with the others." she began, choosing her words carefully. "I was stupid to think otherwise. I don't belong there and...you don't belong here. Go home." She said, her eyes lowered to the ground but her voice was firm. She turned, her eyes never leaving the floor to see the anger beginning to seep into Inuyasha's face once more, and placed her hand on the handle of the door. "Goodbye Inuyasha," she whispered.

Inuyasha growled, he was not letting it end like this. Not after everything they'd gone though. He reached out a clawed and and grabbed her arm, a growl leaving his lips once more. A whimper of pain left her lips at his grip but he ignored it. He was too angry to notice right now. He'd apologize for hurting her later, after he had her on the other side of the well and found a way to seal it off.

"I was trying to be nice about this but I'm going to have to go back to just dragging you back." he snarled, pulling her away from the door.

Kagome tried to tug her arm out of his grip but to no avail, he was stronger than her even in human form. He ignored her feeble attempts to get away and began to drag her down the hall.

".!" Kagome screamed, her miko powers rising to the surface. She began to struggle harder, digging her feet into the ground in an attempt to slow him down. He ignored the pain in his hand, where his skin came in contact with her, and continued to pull the screaming girl down the hall.

Kagome could see the door to the Host Club fly open and her struggles began to become more frantic. Inuyasha snarled and jerked to a stop, his other hand curling around her other arm, getting ready to throw her over his shoulder and run away like a cave man.

"Stop struggling Kagome, you're only making this more difficult." he said, his voice annoyed as he fought the urge to growl at the struggling woman.

Something inside of Kagome snapped and as she raised her hands to push at Inuyasha's chest, in a weak attempt to get him away from her, her purifying powers rushed through her hands and was directed at Inuyasha.

There was a large flash of pure white light and both Kagome and Inuasha let out screams of pain. Inuyasha was thrown away from Kagome, hitting the ground a few feet away, as the girl sank to the ground. She cradled her hands to her chest and let out small sob of pain. Her hands felt like they were on fire, like she'd stuck her hands in a fire and held them there for a few seconds.

It took only a few seconds for Tamaki to reach her side, kneeling next to her while Mori did the same on her other side. Hunni followed closely behind both of them closely. His eyes fell on Inuyasha and he frowned, walking over to the demon and examining him.

"Are you okay? What happened!" Tamaki asked, trying to pry her hands away from his chest so he could see what damage had been done.

Kagome didn't answer but shook her head quickly, letting Tamaki see her hands. Along her palms, where she'd come into contact with Inuyasha, there were bright burns. She winced as she stared down at them. The only time she'd ever purified anything with her hands had been the first time she'd come through the well. Even then it hadn't really been her power, it had been the jewels. She winced as Haruhi, who had knelt down in front of her, examined the burns. She fought the urge to turn around and see if she'd hurt Inuyasha too badly, a part of her shammed that she'd actually purified the half demon. Another part of her, sounding vaguely like Sango, protested. He'd attacked her first, he'd only gotten what he'd deserved.

"He..he tried to drag me back." she hissed, trying to ignore the pain in her hands. She was never going to try and purify anything without her bow and arrows again, ever. " I didn't mean to purify him, I just wanted him to let me go." she said, tears welling up in her eyes.

Tamaki wrapped a comforting arm around her shoulders and shot a glare over his shoulder at the teen that lay unconscious on the floor a few feet away. He shouldn't have let her go out and talk to him! At least not by herself. He should have at least sent Hunni out with her! He rubbed comforting circles over Kagome's back as Mori helped him get Kagome to her feet. He noticed that the other teen was shooting murderous glares over at the half demon as well. In the back of his head his inner idiot began to dance around singing about how cute of a couple they would make. With a bit of effort he forced himself not to act out what the inner idiot was doing and concentrate on getting Kagome back to the club room so they could the burns.

"Tama-chan, he's waking up!" Hunni called as they began to move down the hall. He stared down at the boy curiously, still clutching Usa-chan to his chest.

"Ugh....she...fucking....purified me." Inuyasha growled as he struggled to sit up, his black locks falling over his eyes.

Kagome stopped dead in her tracks, forcing Tamaki and Mori to do the same. She turned slightly to glance over her shoulder, ignoring the tugging that Tamaki was doing to get her moving again. Her eyes widened and a gasp left her lips. She didn't....she couldn't have...

"You....You're human..." She breathed, terror mixed with shame coloring her tone.

Inuyasha's head snapped up as he grabbed a handful of his hair, bringing in before his horrified eyes. His eyes traveled down to his non-clawed hands, which had begun to shake. He raised his eyes to stare accusingly at Kagome.

"What did you do to me?" he growled, though it was no longer as intimidating now that it came from a human throat.
