AN- a huge amount of sheer adoration goes out to avid-reader21, if not for the prompt they posted then I certainly would not be writing this.

The song in this chapter is Toni Braxton's "unbreak my heart"

~.~.~.~.~.~.~.

-Every time it happened she swore it would be the last time.

-Inuyasha had left her alone while he ran off to kikyo. She accepted the fact that Inuyasha would never want her, beause kikyo was his true love. What broke her heart was the fact that one moment he treated her exactly as she wished a man would and utterly rejected her the next moment.

-the Jewel had been completed a long time ago, but since she had always felt like her live belonged here she stayed in the past.

-her ipod was her closest form of comfort today.

-today she walked to her favorite field to try and just enjoy the sunshine. She tried to hold back her tears as she thought of all the time she had spent with inuyasha in this very field. All the times they ate here, all the times he walked with her hand in hand, and even the nights spent looking up at the stars.

-when would he finally realize that he needed to choose? He needed to leave either her or kikyo. As much as she tried to hate the other woman she knew that kikyo must hurt just the way that she did, knowing she didn't hold all of inuyasha's heart. He shouldn't be allowed to lead her on the way that he did.

-every time that he left to see kikyo he would hug Kagome and say goodbye, because he never knew when he would be back, he shared a hut with Kagome, even halfway shared a life, but he shared his heart and his bed with kikyo.

-Kagome flipped throught the songs on the device sighing softly each time she found a song that reminded her of the Hanyou, she kept sighing and passing the songs untill she finally found one to fit her sour mood.

-toni Braxton was her crooner for today and the song "unbreak my heart"spoke the feelings that she simply could not.

-Kagomes body swayed as the music started, with the music blaring in her ears she didn't even hear or sence Sesshomaru's approach. The stoic lord of the west would have had to been dead not to feel the sorrow radiating off of the admittedly beautiful miko.

-in the months since the final battle with Naraku, the Inuyokai had found many excuses to keep in the miko's company, most times even if only to find himself in the midst of an enthralling verbal spar, there was something undecribable that he enjoyed about her wild spirit.

'Un-Break My heart, say you love me again'

-the words grated against his ears, there was such saddness in her voice, a voice clearly tainted by unshed tears.

-his heart ached for the normally happy and annoyingly chipper miko.

'Take back the sad word goodbye, bring back the joy to my life'

-her voice quiteted for a few seconds, but the sound of her sniffling had his hand instinctively reaching out for her, her clenched his hand into a fist when he realized just what he was doing.

'Uncry these tears, I cried so many nights.'

-he watched her slowly spin around in the sunlight, her eyes closed with freshly shed tears glistening on her lashes.

-he knew this was due to his half breed younger brother. Knew that the pain laced through her aura was inuyasha's fault and could belong to no other. The longer that he watched her the more he wished to right the wrong that the pitiful Hanyou had caused. His body moved forward due to sheer instinct.

-Kagomne looked a bit startled when she pulled the head phones from her ears and looked up to find Sesshomaru stalking towards her

"Sesshomaru-Sama, What brings you here?"

-His actions didn't seem even remotely like his usual cold self as he reached for her face using a finger under her chin so he could tilt her head and regard her deep orbs.

"Pack your things Miko, you are coming with me."

"What? Where are we going?" she was utterly dumbfounded.

"To my lands in the west woman, now gather yourself and that annoying kit you have taken as your own and come with me."

-Kagome crossed her arms defiantly not wanting to listen to a thing he said, she trusted him, but never before had he made such a strange demand.

"what is the danger you are trying to save me from?"

"the danger of a broken Heart.

Kagome stared into the deep amber eyes, the only betrayal to the stoic mask the inu lord held over his frozen features, she didn't quite understand what she saw there, but she trusted him enough to know she could use a vacation.
