Disclaimer: My third fic and I still don't own Inuyasha. (Sulk at the
dark corner) Thank you for the advice, Miaka Kennyuuki ^_^ but SOMEHOW
I don't get it. -_-;;
AN: You have to know this before you start reading. Half of this fic isn't well written, coz I was a little sleepy when I typed it. Bear with me!
The Day You Betrayal Me
"Kagome!!!" With an angry warrior cry, he slammed his Tetsusaiga down at their enemy. It was over, the giant grasshopper youkai had been vanquished. Once again, she witnessed him protecting his friends, protecting her. Once again, he gave her a triumph smirk and collapsed onto the ground. And once again, she had found another reason why is she so in love with this hanyou.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*~*~*~
That night, Kagome couldn't sleep. Too much excitement happened today, she wondered how the others managed to sleep so peacefully after their lives had been threaten just a few hours ago. She slowly wriggled out from Shippo's tight grasp and crawled to the only place she knew she could find peace.
Inuyasha cracked open one eye to observe the girl crawling on all fours then sitting quietly beside him. "Don't move too much, wench. You're hurt."
[Hurt? If you call a little cut across your cheek an injury.] Kagome rolled her eyes but kept her mouth shut as she leaned on Inuyasha's shoulder.
"Sorry. I couldn't sleep." She had been doing that lately. Sleeping next to Inuyasha somehow clamed her nerves, no matter how depressed or scared she was. And she would wake up the next morning fresh and recharged. "I thought you would be lonely."
Inuyasha blinked. [Lonely? She thought I was lonely?] A warm feeling rushed over him. "Kagome..." He suddenly held her hand.
"Eh??" She was slightly surprised. The last few nights, Inuyasha merely allowed her to make a pillow out of his shoulder. But tonight, he made her heart beat faster by holding her small hand. "Wh-what?"
There was no telling how fast her heart can jump when she felt a small peck on her temple. She quickly lifted her head to see what game was he playing. Her visions were drowned in his honey golden eyes. [What's going on? Why is he leaning closer to me...]
Her breathing stopped, because Inuyasha took her breath away by sealing her lips. With his own. Everything became a blur as Kagome closed her eyes to put all of her attention in this kiss.
Finally, pulling away unwillingly, Inuyasha whispered in her ear. "I'm never lonely with you around." As if he realized what he did, Kagome noticed him blushing furiously.
[Shit! What have I done?] He almost regretted it but looking down at the blushing girl he had kissed he pushed away that thought. [She tasted good.] That was about all he could think of. Next thing he did surprised both of them. He wrapped Kagome into his embrace.
"Inuyasha??" [God! If he keeps this up, I'll die of a heart attack!] Kagome always had a strong feeling for this hanyou. She hoped that he felt the same way too. Even though she had a feeling he did, he never confirmed her guesses.
"Love you." Inuyasha nuzzled against her hair and finally confessed. What got over him, he do not know. All that matters now is her answer. Her answer was plain and simple. She planted a kiss on his lips.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*~*~*~
(Next day afternoon)
"KKKYYYAAA!!!!!!!!"
"Kagome! / Kagome-sama! / Kagome-chan!" The gang rushed to Kagome's side. She was pressing her chest and had a worried look on her face.
"The Shikon no Tama...it's gone!" The half broken jewel that Kagome had kept was gone. She felt tears burning at the brim of her eyes. [How could I be so careless?!] After waking up drowsily in her sleeping bag, she did not notice the jewel was missing. All that was stuck inside her mind was last night's sweet event.
"No, it's not gone. I've taken it." Everyone stared at Inuyasha. He ignored them and took Kagome's hand. He led her further from the group to talk to her face to face.
"Inuyasha! Why did you take it?" Kagome practically let Inuyasha drag her. [That dog must have taken it yesterday night! But why?]
"No reason." His casual answer did not satisfy her.
"Whaddaya mean no reason!! This is the Shikon no Tama we're talking about, now hand it back before I say 'it'!!" Kagome stretched her hand and waited. He did not do as she said. Instead, he gave a sullen look and flattens his cute dog-ears. "Now what?"
"Don't you trust me?" He wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her closer. "I have my reasons to keep the jewel with me. Do you really want to know why?" Kagome blushed, she wasn't used to this new relationship with her dog demon yet.
Noticing her tinted red cheeks did not help Inuyasha from blushing himself too. "I don't want you to get hurt again. If the jewel is with me, those stupid demons will attack me instead of you." He hugged her tighter as he said that. "I'll never let those youkais touch you."
This had added another reason why is she so in love with this hanyou. Kagome was touched. "I'm sorry, Inuyasha. Of course you can keep it. I trust you." She was rewarded with a passionate kiss. [Oh, add another reason why am I so in love with this hanyou - he's a great kisser!]
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*~*~*~
The next three days were like a dream come true to Kagome. She was doing fine with Inuyasha, only a couple of quarrels once in a while. But it always ended up in a kissing match. Inuyasha had been so sweet and caring since their confession. Their companions congratulated them heartily.
"Isn't it wonderful that they are finally together?" Sango sighed and waved at Kagome who was going back to her time. "I wish I could be like Kagome."
"Why not?" Miroku gave her a question that she could not answer. "You still have me, you know." Sango blushed at that remark. She will be waiting for her turn to have a 'relationship' with...
Sango twitched her eyebrow as she felt his hand caressing her butt. "HENTAI!!!" She gave the pervert monk a slap across his handsome face then stormed off to god-knows-where.
Inuyasha had Kagome's backpack slung on his right shoulder while his other arm was wrapped firmly around her. They walked towards the while with the sound of Kagome's giggles all the way. She had every reason to laugh her heart out. Everything was going perfect for her. Inuyasha was for once, being nice to her. He agreed to let her go back without much complaining (as long as he's following). And best of it all, they had become lovers.
Upon arriving at the well, Inuyasha lifted his hand away from her very suddenly. Kagome looked to where he was gazing at. [This is not good.] Kagome felt those uneasiness flooding inside her stomach as Kikyo walked slowly towards them.
"My reincarnate, I need to talk to you." Kikyo stood in front of her waiting for Kagome to respond.
[Why is she looking for me? I thought it was Inuyasha that she wanted to talk to...] Kagome looks at her love for some suggestion. Her stomach scrounged with acids as all Inuyasha did was stare at his ex- lover. [No, don't get yourself all jumpy Kagome.]
"I just want to have a word with you." Kikyo waited for a bit more before continuing. "You are my reincarnate, I'll never hurt you."
There was something in her voice that made Kagome curious. She nodded her head and decided to trust Kikyo just this once. Kikyo, as if following a mirror nodded back. She starts to walk back into the woods with Kagome behind. "Inuyasha, stay there and wait for me." Kagome waved and smile at the still confused demon.
Inuyasha snapped back into reality when the two girls were out of his sight. "Damn it! Kagome!" He started to walk after them but was startled to find Kikyo's barrier holding him in place. "Shit!" He cursed under his breath.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*~*~*~
After walking deeper into the woods, they finally stopped. Facing a powerful and deadly miko alone, Kagome was regretting to follow Kikyo alone. She wondered why Kikyo had wanted to talk with her. [Feh, probably something to do with Inuyasha. Did I just say 'feh'??]
"Let's get to the point. Will you leave Inuyasha if he doesn't love you?" [Ah-ha so I was right.]
"Why will I leave him in the first place when he had confessed his love for me?" Kagome replied hotly. She had meant to prick on Kikyo's wound, telling the dead miko that Inuyasha belonged to her. Kikyo didn't even flinch.
"And what if he doesn't love you?" She repeated her previous question. She was scaring Kagome now. Sure Kikyo was much more beautiful, intelligent and talented then her. But Kagome reminded herself that it was HER that Inuyasha loves. Not this 'perfect-but-dead-zombie'.
"He loves me. He told me so and I trust him. Nothing you say will change that fact." It was true. No matter if anyone accused or doubt him, she will always believe in her hanyou. Because her hanyou never lies. [Another reason why am I so in love with that hanyou.]
"Nothing I say, is it?" Kikyo held out her palm for Kagome to see. Kagome could not believe her eyes.
"My...Shikon no Tama." She managed to choke out the words. Wasn't her jewel supposed to be with...Inuyasha?
"Do you know where I get this from?" Kagome stood in shock. Kikyo stared coldly at her. "Inuyasha. He gave this to me. We have been planning to use the Shikon no Tama to retrieve me."
"When?" Half of her was frantically telling herself that Kikyo was lying, the other half wanted to break down and cry.
"Earlier then you think." Every word coming out from Kikyo's mouth sting like poison.
[Earlier then I think...so all those times I thought he was protecting me...]
As if reading her thoughts, Kikyo talked. "He was not only protecting you. He was protecting the Shikon no Tama. The jewel that can make me live again."
After a few moment of silence, she spoke again. "My reason here is to ask you to leave. I am not faking it when I said Inuyasha and I were still in love. He does not have the heart to tell it to you. It was planned that I'd be the one to tell this to you later, after the jewel is nearly completed. But I-I can't stand it anymore, seeing you standing beside him instead of me."
[I know this expression on Kikyo's face. I've seen it in the mirror several of times. Jealousy.] "Our-our relationship?" Kagome steadied herself, she did not want to show Kikyo her weak point. Not now.
Kikyo nodded her head. "It was also planned to take the Shikon no Tama away from you."
She felt nothing. This wasn't the way it was supposed to be. She was supposed to fly off in a fit of rage. To cry her eyes out, asking god why did they play such a mean trick on her. To find Inuyasha and demand an explanation from him. Anything. Kagome did not notice when Kikyo walked away. Leaving her to find her own way back.
[Did I just heard the sound of shattered glass? Or was it just my fragile heart? I've been fooled. By the one I love and trust.
All those times I thought he protected me but it was all because of the Shikon no Tama. Never once that he fought for me.
All those times I thought he might be feeling something special towards me. Yet he only gave his special feelings to the other 'me'.
Am I angry? Yes. I'm angry with myself for not being angry with him. All those time he comfort me, all those tiny sweet moments we had, there were all made up. Made up by my imagination.
He asked me to trust him and I was eager to do so. He is to blame. But I don't blame him. Why? His love for Kikyo is something like my love for him. Both of us cannot get the same happiness, one of us must feel hurt and let go.
In this case, I am the one who must let go. Even though losing him meant endless pain for me. Sayonara to all my reasons that why I am so in love with that hanyou.]
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*~*~*~
Kagome stepped into the dog demon's view.
"Hi." She said politely. Inuyasha winced at her...life-less tone.
"What's going on?"
"We were just talking." She saw the fear in his eyes. Kikyo was telling the truth all along. It sucks to know the truth.
"What were you talking about?" Inuyasha frowned. He had a good guess about their chatting topic.
Kagome shook her head and looked down. She couldn't even bear to look at him anymore. "Nothing much." Inside, she pleaded that Inuyasha would just hold her and tell her everything's alright. It never happened. "Something about my Shikon jewel."
With a faint smile plastered on her pale face. She walked towards the well. Inuyasha grabbed her arm when she tried to walk past him without saying anything. She finally looked al him. Inuyasha swallowed the lump in his throat, a pair of blank blue eyes met his. "Kagome, I-I never want to choose between you and her, it's just that..."
"Shhh." Kagome placed her finger over his lips. He stopped stuttering. Their faces were almost touching, like she was about to kiss him. Or so, he thought.
"Just to let you know, it's not you choosing between Kikyo and me." She paused. Then with her bitter smile she continues. "It's me deciding if I should stay and torture myself or leave. Do not think my world revolves around you. Because from now on, it never will." There was no more to be said. She had made it clear that they were over.
She walked pass him again. Inuyasha did not stop her this time. She swung her legs inside. They were facing each other back to back.
"Those three days, for fulfilling my wishes of love from you, even if it was a lie. I thank you."
Her smell was gone. Leaving a small trail of her scent behind. Something went sour inside him. He'd rather face a thousand youkais without his Tetsusaiga than let her words stung him.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*~*~*~
Kagome forced her way up the well and walked out into the hot sun. She wondered what she'd do first in her life without Inuyasha. It was a pretty sunny day.
AN: There will be (I hope so) another chapter. I can't bear to write sad fic. Or maybe it's better if I ended it here. Wait a sec...(NigHtEyeZ scrolls up and rereads) DAMN! _ Whatever you do, please *flame* me for doing such a horrible thing to Kagome!! I'd rather you review but, *sigh* I deserve it. The more flame/review I receive the faster the next chapter will be up! Ja!
