Decisions of the Heart

Chapter Four:

Regrets and a Kick In the Right Direction

He was hoping to make it back without anyone noticing. It was dark, so Sango, Miroku, Shippo, and the old hag would probably be asleep. Sneaking into the hut to see if he could get some cold stew, he growled when he felt a familiar thwack on his head.

"GEEZ MIROKU!" he yelped, rubbing his sore head. The perverted priest took back his staff.

"Be quiet Inuyasha. Can't you see that everyone is ~trying~ to sleep?"

"Watch it monk. . ." he growled. Miroku walked casually outside, head tilted to the sky, and Inuyasha followed.

"When are you going to get Kagome?" he asked, never looking at him.

"Never." Truth to the matter was, that Inuyasha missed her like hell and wanted to her come back very badly. He subconsciously missed her smile, her scent, heck he missed her presence. ~I'll be damned if I need her!~ he thought.

"I always thought you missed Kagome when she left."

"Like hell I would!" he cried sarcastically. "Where'd you get a stupid idea like that?"

"Well, every time she leaves you go crazy."

"Who needs a bitch like her?" he snorted. "I've got Kikyo."

"Is that really how you feel Inuyasha?" There was a pause. Inuyasha felt extremely guilty. Kikyo was perfectly fine. A little weak, but OK otherwise. He suddenly felt ashamed for his harsh words, and upset because of Kagome's tears. For that split second after she fired her arrow, he felt as if he hated her, but no, how could he ever hate Kagome? Her friendly personality, her gentle atmosphere, her sweet scent of jasmine and honeysuckle, and her loyalty to him. Not even Kikyo had ever been able to achieve that.

"Yeah."

"Inuyasha, don't try to deny the obvious. If you want Kagome to come back, you ~need~ to talk to her."

"WHAT DO YOU KNOW?"

"A hell of a lot more than you do." (Lol)

"Some monk you are," he retorted bitterly.

"Even such a simple-minded, arrogant guy like you should be able to admit that you were wrong."

"I WASN'T WRONG!" he yelled. "Kagome hurt Kikyo!"

"On purpose?"

"Well. . ."

"I'm astonished that you would think such a nice, gentle person like Kagome would purposely injure someone." He practically choked on his words. As annoying and perverted the monk was, he had his uses.

"But Kikyo. . ."

"Is still alive I presume."

"Well. . .I. . .yeah." He growled, knowing that Miroku was getting the better of him.

"So Kagome did no damage, right."

"Kikyo is weak."

"But she has been before, right?"

"Well I guess."

"So, you should apologize shouldn't you." He could tell by the way Inuyasha's eyes shimmered with sadness and his ears drooped sadly, that he had gotten through to him.

"Feh!"-I guess not-"You weren't even there!" Inuyasha shot up into the nearest tree, snorting.

"Inuyasha!" He only heard the rustling of bushes, and then silence.

"Oh well. I guess Kagome won't be coming back for the next few years."

"YEARS! SHE CAN'T!" Inuyasha howled, sticking only his head through the veil of leaves.

"Since you won't go and apologize to her properly, what is she to do? She thinks that you hate her."

"I don't HATE her, but. . ."

"Go tell her that then." Inuyasha opened his mouth to protest, but couldn't think of a good retort, so closed it quickly.

"Good night Inuyasha." ~Now maybe the idiot will be able to tell Kagome how he really feels! Then I can go and work on Sango!~ --_--* Leaving the confused hanyou behind him, he returned the hut. Only a few seconds later a * WHACK * and "HENTAI!" were heard. ^_^*
