Part 3: Sorry

Inuyasha's POV

I saw Kikyo's soul stealers gliding through the trees waiting for me to follow them. I had been waiting to meet Kikyo for a couple weeks now. I wanted to tell her something very important and the sooner the better.

Oh I had a lot to say

Was thinking on my time away

The last time Kagome went home I did a lot of thinking which is strange for me. I thought of Kagome and Kikyo. They both mean a lot to me. Kagome is like my sun and Kikyo the moon but I also realized that the sham walking around that looked like Kikyo wasn't the Kikyo I fell in love with fifty years ago. Over time I have learned to live without Kikyo but Kagome drove me crazy every time she left! When I first met Kagome I couldn't understand why it bothered me so much when she went away but now I've finally figured it out.

I missed you and things weren't the same

Cause everything inside it never comes out right

I've tried to tell Kagome several times but I always wimp out at the last moment and end up calling her something dreadful which doesn't help at all.

And when I see you cry it makes me wanna die

More often than not I make her cry. I hate it when she cries. Then to make matters worse I run off to Kikyo without telling anyone. It breaks her heart I can see that now. It's not fair to her and I can't hurt her anymore. The easy part was making my decision next came the hard part. I had to talk with Kikyo and then with Kagome. I've never been very good with words and I could already feel a lump in my throat at the thought of telling Kikyo goodbye for good.

I'm sorry I'm bad, I'm sorry you're blue

I'm sorry about all the things I said to you

And I know I can't take it back

I reached a clearing and as expected found the priestess I was looking for. I approached slowly making sure she knew I was there.

"Hello Inuyasha." Her voice was colder than I remember it all those years ago when we first met. I thought I heard a small noise in some bushes but ignored it instead focusing on what I had to do.

"Kikyo, I came to say goodbye. I still love you but I can't go to hell with you. I have a future now." I said it so softly that at first I thought she didn't hear me. Before I could repeat myself her eyes hardened and she stepped closer all the while looking at something in the bushes behind me.

"I love you Inuyasha." She startled me with how loud she said it compared to my soft words. I didn't have time to react before she hugged me tight. That's when a horrid realization dawned on me.

I love how you kiss, I love all your sounds

At the same time her arms wrapped around me I heard a gasp come from the bushes. Kagome ran out of her hiding place, tears streaming down her face, into the forest.

"Kagome!" Dammit!" Kagome must've misunderstood what happened. She obviously didn't hear my little closing but only Kikyo's declaration. The worst part is that Kikyo was still clutching me to her so I couldn't just run off.

"Kikyo let go! I love Kagome!" This startled her and I took the opportunity to run after Kagome. The last I saw of Kikyo was her standing in the little clearing shocked by my words and looking absolutely devastated. This isn't how I imagined our goodbyes to be! What ended up happening was unfair to Kikyo and tore at the part of my heart she would always hold.

And baby the way you make my world

Go round

And I just wanted to say I'm sorry.

The only thing I concentrated on was Kagome. I love Kagome! Why can't she see that? I know I never out right told her but she can be smart, sometimes, so I thought she'd figure it out! I caught a glimpse of a white shirt in front of me and sped up slightly hoping to catch her, she did have a head start after all. Out of reflex I yelled her name. That turned out not to be such a bright idea. Next thing I knew she had screamed that vile, evil word. Sit. I immediately did a face plant out of the trees and into the hard dirt. The spell seemed to last longer than usual and when I was free I quickly picked up Kagome's scent and started towards her again.

This time I think I'm to blame

It's harder t get through the days

We get older and blame turns to

Shame

I kept running in the direction Kagome went. When she's mad she sure can run fast. Then at the worst possible moment it started to rain. Just great. I desperately tried to follow Kagome's scent but the damn rain was washing it all away. Pretty soon it would be completely gone and I would be back at square one. I didn't want to leave Kagome out in the rain without any weapons or shelter leaving her open to an attack or sickness. If anything happens to her I will never forgive myself.

After running a little longer I caught sight of something green and white. I rushed over and found Kagome lying on the ground. She was shivering, wet and caked with mud. The rain finally decided to stop and I sat down on the ground next to Kagome not caring in the least that I was getting muddy. Gently I pulled her into my lap so we could talk. She was still conscious but wouldn't say anything to me. I started muttering about her taking off like that.

Cause everything inside it never

Comes out right

And when I see you cry it makes me

Wanna die

Suddenly Kagome started thrashing around most likely hoping to escape but my arms held her tight to me. Why was she so desperate to get away from me? Maybe she doesn't love me. Maybe she just stayed with me because I make a good guard dog. No! I refuse to think like that!

"Kagome! Kagome please! Let me explain! You didn't see the whole thing!" I tried to reason with her. If I can only get her to see that she has everything wrong then maybe things will turn out all right.

"I did too! You were hugging her! You were going to admit you loved her! I knew you still loved her! I'm so stupid!" Tears were running down her face as she screamed at me. Her words hurt. They hurt terribly. Without realizing it my arms had dropped releasing her from my grasp. She took the opening and started running. I yelled at her to come back but she didn't stop, she didn't even look back. That hurt the most. I loved her and I just screwed up bad. So bad in fact that this time I'm not sure she'll take me back.

I'm sorry I'm bad, I'm sorry you're blue

I'm sorry about all the things I said to

You

And I know I can't take it back

I lost Kagome. All night long I searched for her, it didn't help that the rain started up again, but I couldn't find her. The others must be wondering what happened to the two of us but I don't care. They can take care of themselves for a couple days. I refuse to just abandon Kagome out here. That wench can't take care of herself. She knows better than to run off without a weapon, when I get my hands on her she's getting the lecture of her life! After I apologize, confess my love and make up of course.

I love how you kiss, I love all your sounds

And baby the way you make my world

Go round

And I just wanted to say I'm sorry

It was towards midday when I finally caught sight of Kagome. I hadn't slept or eaten all night and damn I'm tired! Still I won't rest until I get Kagome back. As I drew closer I got a better look at Kagome and boy did she look like hell. Obviously she fell asleep on the ground last night after running as fast as she could. She was swaying slightly as she walked, as if she was drunk. She didn't seem to be very aware of her surroundings either.

Every single day I think about how we

Came all this way

The sleepless nights and the tears you cried

"Kagome!" She must've heard me because her head turned slightly. I yelled her name again. Hoping she wouldn't sit me into oblivion. She still wouldn't acknowledge me so I grabbed one of her wrists and spun her around to look at me. As soon as we made eye contact tears streamed unchecked down her cheeks. I have no idea what to do! I need to consult with Miroku on this when I see him next. Right now I need to think of something to do and quick! She turned her face away from me and with a sigh I cupped her chin in my hand and forced her to look at me. Her chocolate brown eyes left me speechless for a second. They were filled with hurt and betrayal.

It's never too late to make it right

Oh yeah sorry

"Where do you think you're going?" Honestly where did she think she was going? There are no villages around for miles and a demon could've attacked her! She didn't answer me and I began to get worried. Was she hurt? I didn't think so but she wouldn't answer me, she just kept crying. I started to tell her what happened. It was rushed and Kagome didn't seem to be paying any attention to me even though she was looking straight into my eyes.

I'm sorry I'm bad, I'm sorry you're blue

I'm sorry about all the things I said to you

And I know I can't take it back

"Kagome! KAGOME!" Dammit would she just pay attention to me for one second! It can't be that hard to do! She looked startled for a moment as my loud yell rang in her ears.

"Damn! Will you just listen for a second!" My voice sounded desperate even to my ears. She finally seemed to be listening so I took full advantage of the opportunity. I will not screw this up again.

"Kagome I told Kikyo goodbye. It's over with her. She's part of my past and now I need to move on to the future." I saw the confusion in her eyes immediately. She obviously didn't believe a word I had just uttered and I refuse to repeat myself. I can still see Kikyo's pained face as I left her. That would haunt me forever but it was the right thing to do. I have a second chance that I will not throw away.

Kagome looked at the ground and so I gave her a little shake to gain her attention. Kagome is always saying that actions speak louder than words… out of nowhere an idea popped into my head. It had been so wonderful the first time so why not try it again? Except this time it won't be a life or death situation. Hopefully it will be even better the second time. This train of thought made me very anxious to try out my idea. Before I even realized what I was doing I kissed Kagome! It just felt so right to have her lips crushed against mine.

I picked Kagome up bridal style and just in case the whole kiss wasn't enough to convince her I whispered a soft 'I love you' in her ear. I saw her smile and it reached her eyes making them light up enthusiastically. Slowly I headed back for camp. Everything would be alright this time.

I love how you kiss, I love all your sounds

And baby the way you make my world

Go round
