Chapter 3: Love and Despair
 
 
Kagome sat on her bike riding through the now familiar forest on her way back to the group's campsite.
` I wonder what has happened while I've been gone. I just hope Inuyasha hadn't fought with Sesshoumaru yet I want to be there to help.'
Kagome grimaced at the thought of not having been there to help but she reassured her self that it would've been too early for a confrontation between the two brothers.
Then as she was heading into the denser part of the forest golden eyes popped into her head and she sighed letting her mind drift off to think about the youkai she had been thinking about the entire time she was away.
`I can't believe I'm over Inuyasha so fast and now I think I'm starting to fall in love again.'
Kagome could hear the echoes of talking becoming louder ands he knew that she was getting closer.
` Now that we have paused collecting the shards I don't know why I keep coming back… maybe its so I can see him. He is so different from Inuyasha, unlike her stubborn companion he is calm and cool all the time and you can feel the power radiating off of him but he always has a warmth in his eyes not like Sesshoumaru.'
Kagome shuddered at the thought of The Youkai demon lord of the western lands laying his cold eyes on her.
`His eyes give me the creeps its like he has no soul behind them. They remind me of Kikyou.'
Kagome climbed off of her bike and started to walk it the rest of the way to the clearing. She started to feel butterfly in her stomach and she could feel her hands become sweaty.
` I can't believe I'm nervous to see him its not like I've been gone that long it's only been 2 weeks.'
Kagome sighed and walked into the clearing, squinting her eyes as the suns rays fell on her. She put a hand up to cover her eyes and looked around the clearing. She saw that Inuyasha and Sango were gone.
` That's not surprising.'
She also saw Shippou playing with Kirara on the far side of the clearing and Oborozuki calmly sitting with his back to a tree and his sword lying on the grass next to him.
` We're the only ones here, ahh Miroku I kind of miss his perverted antics now. It always livened up things.'
The monk had made his decision to continue to hunt jewel shards while Inuyasha trained a couple of weeks ago.
Kagome quietly leaned her bike against a nearby tree and walked into the campsite. She heard a squeal of delight right before she was bombarded with an orange fluff ball. On instinct she opened her arms to catch Shippou.
“ Kagome your back it's been so long! Did you bring me anything?”
Kagome looked down at Shippou's big green eyes and laughed and then nodded.
“ Of course I brought something for you Shippou. But I wont give it to you if I hear you were bad while I was gone.” Kagome warned before looking up and laying her eyes on Oborozuki.
“ Well has he been good while I was gone?” she asked.
Oborozuki looked at her and then his mouth twitched somewhat into a half smile and he nodded his head.
“ Well that settles it then.”
She put Shippou down and lifted the heavy yellow pack from her back and let it fall to the ground with a muffled thump.
She then kneeled down and pulled out a pack of lollipops and gave them to Shippou who was shouting in glee while he jumped up and down impatient to get his gift.
“ Now what do you say Shippou?” Kagome said looking down at the pup expectantly.
“ Thanks you Kagome.” Shippou said and then bounded up and took the pack and ran to the other side of the clearing with them.
Kagome watched him go and shook her head in amusement.
` Oh Shippou.'
“ You are fond of the pup.” A deep voice said behind her.
Kagome gasped in surprise and spun around to find her self in very close proximity of Oborozuki.
“ Uh… yea.”
Kagome could feel the heat and power radiating off of his body. She tilted her head up and locked eyes with him.
“ Your presence was missed here, there has been a lot of tension lately.”
Kagome frowned.
“ Why what happened?”
Oborozuki turned his head slightly to stare at the forest.
“ A couple of days ago both Inuyasha and Sango disappeared for a while and then I heard Sango's cry's and so I went to see what was wrong with her and I found her lying on the ground with tears on her face and her scent was radiating pain. I also could smell traces of Inuyasha in the clearing but he was long gone. Ever since then Sango and Inuyasha haven't even looked at each other and one cant be in the camp if the other is here. It is quite annoying but I know something happened between them… something that hurt both of them.”
Kagome was filled with worry for her two friends.
“ This is terrible I have to do something to help them get over this… where are they now?” Kagome asked looking back up at Oborozuki's face.
“ I do not know Sango left early this morning and Inuyasha left a short time ago. Both have not been back.”
Kagome sighed in frustration and slowly sat her eyes unseeing as she thought of what could have possibly happened between them.
“ Kagome I would like to give you something as a gift for your kindness towards me, most humans do not like me much even though I am not hostile toward any human unless they mean me harm.”
Kagome looked over at Oborozuki in surprise and then her eyes dropped to his outstretched hand in which lay a crescent shaped pendant that had small star shaped diamond in the middle.
“ Oh my god! You didn't have to get this for me? How did you make it? Wow thanks so much!”
Kagome threw her arms around him and hugged him tight, she felt him stiffen slightly and then she felt his arms slowly come around her and hug her back.
“ I should be the one to say thank you.” He said pulling back slightly in order to look at her.
Kagome smiled and turned around lifting her hair in the process. She waited until he linked the chain and dropped his hands and then she looked down and sighed at the beauty of the pendant.
Inuyasha lay back in the grassy slope of the hill he was now occupying.
“ She doesn't love me… I thought she did after what we did… what she gave me… how could she not love me.”
Inuyasha gasped when he remembered something that was foggy but still there.
“ She never told me she loved me, not even after I told her that night she still didn't I would of heard her if she did but… she didn't… maybe its true then, maybe she was just having some fun with me.”
Inuyasha turned his head and closed his eyes as one tear slid down his pain filled face.
`Sango never loved me… I thought we were destined, my father's letter told me we were destined to be together… maybe Sango's not the right girl, or maybe that letter was crap.'
Inuyasha sighed and stared up into the darkening sky as dread started to grow in him.
` I'm gonna turn human again tonight… I wont go back to the camp tonight, I have no need to be there.'
Then he got up and speed away into the growing dusk.
 
Thanks to my Reviewers:
 
Robot Killahh: Lol thanks for the review, no Kagome is not falling in love wit sesshy, I thought Oborozuki was kinda obvious cause Kagome hasn't even seen sesshy in this fic so that's not a possible hook up.
 
Xxxdeadvalentinexxx: Thanks for the review; I'm glad you like the sequel thus far I hope u keep reading.
 
Bluediamond-hime: You'll find out who the red-eyed man is soon enough, also Sango is pushing Inuyasha away because she knows how much he loves her because she loves him just as much but she wants to end his feeling for her now before she actually kills Naraku because she doesn't want him to mourn over her when she is dead, she wants him to live life to its full advantage. But as you can see what she is doing is also hurting her because she does really love him and she is realizing that they aren't destined to be and that she cant' be with him in the end. That's kind of an overview of her reasons for what she did in the last chapter. Also thanks for the review

I'll make sure not to make her seem anymore mean then that chapter. Also Kagome is NOT falling in love with sesshy.
 
InuAcosta: thanks for the review and don't be afraid to nag cause that way I can improve my story. Also about Sango being harsh, she is not gonna be this harsh for much longer don't worry.
 
Kitty: wow your good you're the only one who guessed it was Oborozuki! Also thanks for the review I'm glad you like this fic.
 
Thanks all you guys for reviewing. This chapter is kind of like a filler cause a lot of stuff is going to start happening next chapter and I wanted to give the other members of the group a chapter to tell what their feelings are. About Miroku I decided to have him continue hunting of Naraku and the shards since in the earlier fic he wasn't too fond of Inuyasha and Sango together and I didn't have the heart to make him a bad guy in this fic so I just left him out pretty much. Well the next chapter will be coming soon. Please review!

Next chapter:
It's the night of the full moon. Sango finds herself in a darkened cave. She see's a small light and she goes to it. She finds a fountain with water in it. She looks down into the fountain and she sees a human Inuyasha laying dead his lifeless eyes staring up at her as if accusing her of his death. Sango gasps and steps back. Then she hears a sound behind her and she spins around to find herself staring into scarlet eyes.
“ Sango we finally meet.”
