*~*A few weeks later*~*
Inuyasha sat at the foot of the Goshinboku tree and slept. He had been angry when Kagome had not come back. It had hurt him, more than he cared to admit. So now his dreams were plagued with her.
He found himself walking alone through the forest, quiet except for the occasional chirp of a bird or a leaf rustling in the wind. He knew she had come this way, he could still smell her tears as though she were standing right in front of him, meaning she was close. When he found her, the scene he came upon was not one he had expected.
"Kagome, you can not keep torturing yourself like this."
Miroku placed a gentle hand on the girl's shoulder. He looked at her with an expression Inuyasha had never seen before. It angered the hanyou.
"I know. I don't know why I do anymore. I still love him, but I have to move on." Kagome hugged Miroku and sighed quietly.
Inuyasha growled softly, his blood running cold at the sight before him. She was just going to give up on him like that? And of all the people to turn to for comfort, she chose the perverted monk! Inuyasha was about to turn away when Miroku leaned down and placed a light kiss on Kagome's lips. Inuyasha clenched his fists, his claws making puncture wounds on his palms. The blood dripped down his fingers and landed on the forest floor soundlessly as he watched Kagome put her arms around the monk's neck and kiss him back.
Inuyasha woke with a start, finding that he really had injured his palms. He wiped them off on his yukata and stood. It was hard to mourn for Miroku when he remembered how he had taken the person he cared for most in the world. Not only had he taken her in life, his death had lengthened the distance, both of them lifetimes apart.
*************
Kagome sat in her desk at school, thinking of Miroku. He had saved her from self-destruction, but then left her. She didn't know how she was going to make it through this time. He had brought her back from a place she didn't want to be and with him gone, she was sinking right back in.
She brushed away the tear that slid down her cheek and looked up at the teacher. He was droning on and on about some war in Europe, which was of no interest to her. When he finally stopped talking she raised her hand and asked to go to the office. The teacher nodded, so she gathered her things and left. In the office she signed herself out and left, geting in her car and driving home.
All the way, she kept turning over thoughts in her head. Maybe she needed help, or a vacation at least. But then again, that was just running from her problems. And she was tired of running. So tired.
When she walked in the house, she stifled a scream when she saw Inuyasha sitting on her couch. Fright turned to anger as she slammed the front door shut.
"What are you doing here?" She demanded, setting her bookbag on the floor angrily.
Inuyasha frowned and stood, walking over to her. "Why do you hate me all of a sudden?" He glared at her and grabbed her arm violently. "What did Miroku say that made you hate me?"
Kagome wrenched her arm away and back up into a wall. "He didn't have to say anything! You did it all on your own!" She folded her arms tightly over her chest. "And if you speak ill of him, I swear I will have no qualms about hurting you."
Inuyasha closed the distance between them and stared down at her, challenge in his eyes. "I dare you to try."
She grabbed hold of the hanyous arm and sent a bolt of energy through him. It ran through his veins like fire, causing him to back away from her in surprise.
"I warned you." She said menacingly. She was in no mood to quarrel with the ignorant half-demon.
Inuyasha growled and clenched his fists. "Why did you run off that day? Why did I find you in the forest with Miroku?" He demanded, staring intently at her.
"What are you talking about?" She replied harshly, staying against the wall.
Inuyasha trapped her against the wall by putting a hand on each side of her face. "You and the monk. In the forest. Why did you run to him? Why didn't you tell me what was wrong." He asked quietly, hurt apparent in his voice.
Kagome refused to take pity on the man that had caused her so much pain. She turned her face away, only to have him force it back to him.
"You were the reason I was upset that day. You were with Kikyo again. I couldn't deal with that. And you have no right to demand why I chose Miroku to comfort me. He genuinely cared for me. More than I can say about you."
Anger coursed through him, making his eyes flash between amber and red. He quickly calm himself and glanced at the girl.
"That is where you are wrong. So I was with Kikyo that day, but it was to tell her that I couldn't keep sneaking away to see her, that I didn't want to be with her." He stared into her stormy eyes and raised a hand ot caress her cheek.
Kagome stared at Inuyasha. She didn't know what to say to this. She turned her face away sadly. "Inuyasha, I loved Miroku. And I won't just forget about him because you want me to."
"I'm not asking you to." He lightly pressed his lips to her unresponsive ones. He sighed and stepped away from her. "All I ask is for you to give me a chance. Let me prove that I can be the person you want."
And if the person I want is Miroku? She shook her head sadly and looked at the hanyou. "I'm staying here, Inuyasha. I'm sorry. I have been hurt too many times by you. I won't contiunue to torture myself like I was."
Inuyasha stared at the girl. Those were the words that the monk had said to her in his dream. It angered him how quickly he had received the girl's affections, doing nothing but saying a few kind words.
"How did he get to you? All it took were a few nice words and a hug and you were drawn in." He said with an undertone of revulsion in his voice.
That hit her like a ton of bricks. "What are you trying to say? That I'll run to any man offering a few words and kind touch? You are an ass." She walked away from Inuyasha and sat on the edge of the couch, staring at him with blazing eyes.
"He was the one that comforted me when you ran to her. He was the one to help me when I was injured. He earned my trust. Unlike some people that I had blind faith in." She looked away. "You should leave. I'm in no mood to deal with this."
"Fine, but I won't be coming back." Inuyasha walked out of the room and made his way outside to the well.
Kagome, on the other hand, sat quietly on the couch, tears sliding slowly down her cheek.
