Chapter 1: Pain

She tried to contain it but she couldn't. The anger and rage that she felt towards him. How could he do that, again? How could he still have feelings for a corpse. He protected her without a second thought.

She slowly walked back to the group as they were resting in a clearing. They had just fought a huge ugly demon with two shards and everyone was exhausted. Inuyasha had a couple cuts, Sango had a twisted ankle, Miroku had a wound on his abdomen, and Shippo was....

Well she couldn't bring her self to believe it. Because Inuyasha was protecting that bitch Kikyo, Shippo was wide open for the oncoming attack. She couldn't do anything but watch.

~Flashback~

Inuyasha dodged another attack from the bear demon.smirked the bear was to easy. Even though he was having a little bit of fun he knew something wasn't right.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome shouted,"somethings wrong he's to easy!"

"Will you shut up wench i know what im doing. Just tell me where the shards are!" he cringed when he said that he didn't mean to make it sound so harsh. And he regretted saying it when he saw the hurt look in her eyes.

He was impossible and ignorant put she needed to tell him where the shards were. She ran around the huge bear and saw them.

"There in his head get them" she yelled.

But he wasn't paying attention to her he was staring off to the space behind her. She quickly turned around and got the shock of her life. There stood Kikyo with her arrow aimed at her. kikyo smirked if that was possible and released the arrow.

Kagome could of swore it was going to hit her or that Inuyasha was going to stop it but neither happened.

It graced her cheek and hit the demon that was about to attack Inuyasha.

Inuyasha turned around and saw the injured demon and all he could say was,"Kikyo."

The damned only word he said when she was around. That frustrated her more than anything else. The demon narrowed his eyes with anger and charged towards Kikyo. She just stood there. She didn't even twitch or raise her bow to defend herself from the on coming attack. Which was a little odd to Kagome.

Inuyasha ran towards her in at a break neck speed. She sighed, Inuyasha was going to save her but he with out a second thought he ran past her to save Kikyo.

She couldn't register it into her mind when she felt a sharp pain in her side where the bear demon attacked her sending her to slam into a near by tree. She reached up to feel her head and cringed when she saw all the blood that was flowing down her head where she hit the tree.

Kagome looked around for her companions and saw Sango attending to an injured Miroku away from the battle. She looked around again and saw Inuyasha protecting Kikyo and it looked like he didn't give a damn if she was alright.

The last thing she saw was Shippo running towards her yelling her name with the demon straight behind him.


When she woke up she didn't know where she was. Kagome touched her forehead and felt a cloth around her head. What had happened? The last thing she remembered was...

Shippo.

She quickly sat up and looked for Shippo. But all that happened was her head slamming into another.

"Oww, bitch that hurt"

She opened her eyes and saw Inuyasha rubbing his head.

"Are you..."

"Where is he?"

"Who are you talking about wench. And why are you interupting me when im trying to ask you how you are?"

"Where is Shippo?"

She looked at Inuyasha and saw that he was avoiding eye contact with her.

"Inuyasha"

"Kagome," Sango said from behind her. She sat up and looked at Sango's sad eyes.

"What? Where is Shippo?"

"He..he was.. im sorry" she stretched her hand out to Kagome and set a piece of cloth near her.

Kagome picked up the little piece of cloth and stared at it with horrified eyes.

"No. Please tell me that its not true. Sango... Miroku....Inuyasha" she looked at each of them but they avoided eye contact with her and stared at the ground. In her palm was Shippo's bow, the one he used to wear in his hair. He never took it out of his hair so that meant he was gone. She put her hands and sobs racked her body as she cried. Kagome felt Sango rap her arms around her.

"It's okay Kagome. He had a good life. Even if it was short" Sango whispered into her hair.

"Yes, Kagome. There's nothing to worry about. You made him happier than anyone else." Miroku said while rubbing her back with a free hand. It suprised her that he didn't rub her backside. What he said next made her realize something."We are just sorry we weren't there to protect him."

She suddenly stiffened in Sango's arms. Realization hit like a car. Inuyasha. He was suppose to protect them. He was suppose to watch after all of them. But instead he was protected the corpse.

Sango pulled back when she heard Kagome growl. She looked at her tear stained face and she looked pissed. Kagome stood up and turned towards Inuyasha. She threw the bow in front of Inuyasha.

He looked completly confused. He looked at the small bow and then back at her. He must of noticed how mad she was because he backed away from her. 'what the hell did i do now?'

And for every step he backed away from her she advanced on him. Then she said something that would be forever burned into his mind.

"It's all your fault, you son of a bitch."

~End Of Flashback~

When she tried to attack him after the death of Shippo, Miroku and Sango held her back. Sango then toke her into the forest to comfort her. After a couple of hours of crying and Sango going back to the group she was feeling a little better considering what just happened.

As she strode into the clearing she ignored everyone's concerned look. Especially Inuyasha.

He just stared at her with sad and regretful eyes. Inuyasha knew why she was pissed off at him. When they were fighting the bear demon instead of him protecting her and Shippo he was protecting Kikyo. Even though she was dead he still had promised that he would protect her. He also promised Kagome that and she got hurt. When it came to his past love he just couldn't think straight. He didn' t love Kikyo anymore and he knew that but he had said he was going to hell with her. And even though he loved Kagome more than a friend now, he didn't want to see her get hurt by him when he had to go. So every day he went through the painful ritual of acting like he didn't care about her.

He looked over at her and saw her staring off into nothing. Something bad was coming and he knew it.
