Regular—everything else

Bold-- InuYasha

CHAPTER 1

I can't believe him! He said that he was over Kikyo and that he would tell her about us! I knew when he told us he was going to see totosi about a new crack in Tetssiaga that he was just going to go see her, but I didn't want to believe it. I had wanted to trust him. I had wanted--

"InuYasha do you love me?" Kikyo asks coolly

NO! Inuyasha please say no…

"Of course I love you Kikyo I have always loved you!" InuYasha replies swiftly

Kagome's usually soft, caring cerulean gaze widens to one of pain as InuYasha's words sink into her mind, forever branding their meaning into her brain.

He doesn't love me…

Tears fill Kagome's eyes, threatening to cascade down her cheeks and drop to the thirsty forest soil. She takes a step back to run away, just like she always runs away, but a twig snaps, Kagome freezes, paralyzed, unable to move. InuYasha ignores the sound, believing it to be just one of the many animals in the forest, but Kikyo looks up to meet Kagome's pained blue eyes with her own dull brown, lifeless pair, her gaze narrows to one of mild hatred and cruelty.

"Then why do you still travel with my reincarnation? Does she…mean anything to you? Is she important?" Kikyo asks cruelly while staring coldly into Kagome's eyes

Don't InuYasha! Please don't! Please say that I do mean something to you! Please say that I am not just a--

"She is just a Jewel Detector. She means nothing to me! She is just a copy of you that I thought could be a decent imitation of you when I thought you to be dead! She is nothing! Not even a satisfying copy!" assures InuYasha "You are who I love!!"

No….

Kagome's heart skipped a beat. Tears broke through the barrier of her eyes to sail slowly down her ivory cheeks. She needs to run, but Kikyo's gaze hold her in place; it seems that Kikyo is not yet done.

"Inuyasha who would you pick if it was between myself and my reincarnation? And what would you do for the one you would choose?" Kikyo asks trying to prove to her present nuisance where her InuYasha's heart lay beyond any doubt and to wound the one person with a heart purer than hers had ever been.

No!

"I would always pick you, Kikyo!" yelled an exasperated InuYasha hoping to evade Kikyo's second question

Inuyasha…

Kagome's hand grabbed her heart as she felt it stutter in her chest. It felt as though someone was trying to grab her heart from her chest and stab it with a small blunt object. It felt as though she were about to die.

"Answer the last question Inuyasha." Said Kikyo coldly

"But Kikyo—"

"Answer it InuYasha! What would you do!" yelled Kikyo finally

Please InuYasha! I love you; don't say what she wants you to say! You owe that to me! Don't be as cruel to say—

"I would make their soul complete once more." Inuyasha stated softly, his voice full of doubt and pain

"InuYasha…" gasped Kagome softly "InuYasha how could you!" she finally screamed

Kagome's wounded heart began to beat wildly, it was out of control. InuYasha spins around with large amber eyes to look at a hurt Kagome crying as the words he had just said numbed her mind. Kagome's legs finally began to get the message her brain had been trying to send them throughout the entire painful conversation. They began to back her away, slowly at first, until she turned completely around and ran back to the camp they had made, leaving a completely dazed InuYasha behind her.

She was here the whole time... Kagome heard what I said to Kikyo…Oh Kami, I'm sorry Kagome, I didn't mean it! I am so sorry… Why did she have to witness this…?

"No, Kagome wait!" yelled InuYasha brashly

"Congratulations InuYasha, you have crushed the heart of the one who has kept us apart. I hope you will swiftly comply to the promise you have made me." Said Kikyo smugly "When my soul is complete we will finally be able to live together forever. Come to me when you have slain my reincarnation, InuYasha. Until then, Inuyasha."

Kikyo turns from InuYasha and disappears into the surrounding forest, leaving InuYasha torn between the task he has promised Kikyo and the feelings that he possessed for Kagome. In the end he chooses to visit Totosi to repair Tetssiaga for his precious sword truly did need to be fixed, while he was away from both Kikyo and Kagome he would think on what to do as well as give Kagome time to think things through and cool down. He knew that she would be hurt and angry for a long time, but he really didn't want to be sat while she was this pissed off.

*************************************************************************************

As Kagome was running her thoughts came to her in cluttered pieces and shattered meanings. Kagome no longer knew what to think or how to behave.

He told me he would never leave me, never stop loving me... He was going to forget about Kikyo, forget about the things he had said to her… the things he had been willing to give up for her, because he had realized that he had loved me more. But now he is saying the same thing to her... How could he? How does he not realize how much I love him, how much I have given up to be with him? How could he just throw me aside like some used up toy? Why can't I be good enough… Wait no! his fault.. He will pay... the dead bitch will pay! No! I will not become that... I will not focus on revenge… I need to get away from this! But I will not run away from this! That's what got me into this in the first place! I will face this! But maybe I should get away from InuYasha to cool off some.

Kagome ran until she could see their fire. When she got to the out skirts of their camp she tried to make herself slightly more presentable by stopping by the stream near camp to wash her face of the stains that her tears had surely left on her delicate cheeks, she did not want the rest of the group to know how deeply InuYasha had hurt her; she would not be pitied. As Kagome gathered her strength and emotions she walked slowly to camp, as she got closer she sensed a powerful demonic presence within her camp and readied herself for the confrontation of a demon that surely awaited her when she broke through the trees. Steeling herself she imitated confidence and stalked out the protective forest to be met by the indifference of an intimidating golden gaze.

Sesshomaru?

MK that is pretty much a Prolog for my story, basically it's explaining why Kagome is gonna do what she will do later on in the story:)

This, as I said before, is my very first Fanfic so I might need a little help as I go along and my ideas may be a little choppy but I will try my best! My writing technique might not be that good, but I will learn as I go along I promise!

Hopefully you have liked what I am writing sooo far! Please leave any concerns, criticisms, and reviews in a comment!
