~~~~~~~~~~~Chapter 3~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
**************That Night******************************************************************
````````````````````````````````````````````last time````````````````````````````````````````````````````
Kagome stood there in the grass. She wasn't moving, she was facing the groung, her hair covering her eyes. Her breathing was very slow, and shallow. It was so quiet that even Inuyahsa's ears had trouble picking it up.
Every one was still. Noone dared move at all. They were as shocked as Inuyasha.
`Kagome, I..I..' thought Inuyasha
```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` ````````````````````````````````````
Everyone was silent as they waited for Kagome to say something. They were prepaired for her to yell, or scream, or to sit Inuyasha to the center of the earth.
Noone was prepaired for what she did.
Kagome finally spoke. "If that's the way you rally feel Inuyasha, then I'll leave. If that's what makes you happy." She said in a voice so low she knew that only Inuyasha's ears could hear. She turned away and walked slowly towards the well.
Inuyasha couldn't believe what she had said. 'Wait Kagome!' He thought. He wanted to run after her but his legs were stuck to the ground.
Kagome could feel the tears forming in her eyes, but she let them run down. 'So everything he said was a lie. I should have known, but I wanted to believe it all.' Kagome hesitated before she jumped in.
The rest stared at the well hoping she would come out, but they knew she probably would never come back. Sango was the first one to speak.
"Inuyasha! How could you! How dare you say that to Kagome! She loves you! You have no right to hurt her like that!!!!"
Miroku had to hold Sango back from killing Inuyasha. "Lady Sango," he said quietly," We should leave Inuyasha alone now. He needs some time to think." For once Miroku was being serious, and despite the fact that he was holding her, he wasn't being a perv.
"Time alone! What he needs is to go talk to Kagome!"
Inuyasha didn't hear anything they said. He was still staring at the well. He could smell Kagome's tears and he felt his heart breaking. He turned away from the well and walked past Miroku and Sango and lept into the Goshinboku tree.
Miroku finally got Sango to calm down a bit. They walked down back to the village. Sango was still angry at Inuyasha but she knew Miroku was right. She was very worried for Kagome and knew Inuyasha was the only one to make this right.
During the whole thing, Shippo was the only one who didn't say anything. Now as Sango, Miroku and Kirara left, and as Inuyasha was already gone, Shippo looked sadly at the well and thought, 'Kagome, Inuyasha didn't mean it. He was just angry and didn't know what he said. He wasn't thinking, which is normal, you know that. Please come back.' With that Shippo ran to catch up with the rest.
~~~Inuyasha's POV~~~
Inuyasha waited till Shippo left to go to the well. As he walked to it he smelled the scent of her tears. He felt like crying himself. But he wouldn't let himself because he had to be strong.
"Kagome," Inuyasha said as he sat down at the edge of the well, "I didn't mean it. I'm so sorry. You probably never want to see me again. But I need to see you. I need...you." 'Those are the same words I told her that night.' Inuyasha sighed and as he rested his head on the well and looked into it, he thought back to that night two weeks ago.
***Flashback*** (okay, I won't make this one long)
It was night time and the Inu gang sat around the campfire groaning in pain. Earlier they had fought a demon with three jewel shards. It was a hard battle which left everyone wounded.
Sango had a dislocated shoulder and three long claw marks across her back. Miroku had been bitten in his right leg and unfortunately the demon's fangs had poison in them. He was now lying unconscious on a sleeping mat. Shippo and Kirara had bumps and bruises here and there. Kagome's chest was full of gashes made from when the demon tried to claw her to bits.
Inuyasha had the worst injuries. He had claw marks running down his back. His left arm was almost useless, because the demon's spiked tail had slammed into it. His legs were hurt from when he got thrown to the ground, and he had a long scratch going from his left shoulder to his right thigh from when he protected Kagome.
Kagome had just finished bandaging Sango when she noticed Inuyasha wasn't there. 'He's probably in a tree somewhere,' she thought as she got up. "Sango, I'm going to take a walk, okay. I'll be back soon," she said as she grabbed her bow and arrows.
"Okay, but be careful. Who knows whats out there."
Kagome set out in search of the lake she knew was near by. As she walked she started to hum. She knew Inuyasha would follow her the whole way.
When she reached the lake, Kagome sat down and dipped her fingers into the water. After a few minutes she called out to him.
"Inuyasha. I know you're there. You can come out now.
Kagome heard a rustle in the big oak tree behind her. She listened for a light thud, and when she heard it, she smiled. Kagome watched Inuyasha as he walked over to her and sat down.
"What are you doing out here Kagome?" asked Inuyasha. "It's dangerous you know."
"But it's such a beautiful night," she replied as she looked up at the full moon.
"Feh, you still shouldn't be out here by yourself. What I something happened to you?" Kagome could have sworn she heard worry in his voice.
"I'm okay Inuyasha. Besides you're here."
"Yea, but what if I don't get to you fast enough, like today?" Inuyasha said as he jumped up. "You were already badly injured by the time I got to you." This time Kagome heard guilt in his voice.
"I'm fine, really. It's not that serious." Kagome said as she touched her wounds. She winced at the pain, then immediately wished she didn't. Kagome saw the worried look in his eyes, and the fear in his eyes.
"Inuyasha, are...are you okay?" she asked as she got up and stood next to him. He turned his head away and wouldn't answer.
"What's the matter? Tell me Inuyasha."
He still didn't say anything. He just turned and walked under the oak tree, with his back facing her. Kagome was getting worried, and was about to say something when Inuyasha spoke.
"I wasn't fast enough today."
"What?"
"I wasn't fast enough to protect you."
"But you did."
"You still got hurt, Kagome! You shouldn't have been hurt. I should have been there for you, but I wasn't. You're hurt because of me!" Inuyasha could feel the tears forming in his eyes, but he held them back.
"You can't protect me from everything," said Kagome quietly.
"But I should be able to! I should be able to protect you from anything. I can't let you get hurt."
"Why not?" Kagome asked. 'Because he cares for me. Yea right.' She thought.
"Because Kagome. I don't want to loose you. Ever. I need you here with me."
Those words shocked her. "You mean to find the shards right?" she managed to say.
"No Kagome, not because of the jewel shards. I need you here for other reasons."
"What reasons?"
"I...I can't tell you."
"Why not Inuyasha? You can tell me anything, you know that." Kagome couldn't tell what was going on, because Inuyasha was standing with his back to her.
"Everyone I ever told this to got hurt. It was always because of me. If I told you, and I lost you, I could never go on. That's why I just can't tell you" 'No. I can't hurt her that way. Besides, what if she doesn't fell the same?'
They both stood in silence, neither knowing what to say. Finally Kagome spoke.
"The stars are really beautiful tonight, huh?" she said.
"Yea but... there's something even more beautiful here," said Inuyasha as he looked at Kagome. The moonlight reflecting off the lake made it look like she was glowing. 'She's so beautiful. She's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.' He thought. He calmed down as he watched her hair blowing in the wind.
"Huh?"
"Nothing." More silence.
"You know, lot's of things have changed since you came Kagome, including me. But I'm glad you came. Everything seems so much better when you're around. I'm happy around you and I feel so peaceful. I've never felt that way before and I don't want to loose that feeling." Inuyasha stared a the tree as he continued talking. "When you leave, I feel sad and empty, like there's a big hole in my life. But when you come back my world is complete and everything is perfect. I've never been able to explain those feelings..... until today when I thought I might loose you."
Kagome didn't know what to say. Inuyasha had never opened up that much to her, especially not about his feelings. "What....what do you mean?" She finally managed to choke out.
"Kagome....I."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~END~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Cliffhanger. Don't you hate those? You wait all that time for a new chapter and then you only get half. Sucks don't it? (looks over and sees Inuyasha sulking in a corner)
Star: Hey Inuyasha. You allright?
Inuyasha: Feh, no! That chapter was really stupid, and boring. I hated it.
Kagome: Well I liked it.
Inuyasha: Yea, you would. I want action and adventure and fighting, not all this mushy gunk.
Star: This is a romance fic, you know.
Inuyasha: Feh, well. I'm leaving. It's too mushy. Besides I'd never really say that stuff. (turns and walks away)
Kagome: Inuyasha, come back here!!
Inuyasha: No!
Kagome: Don't make me say it!
Inuyasha: Like I care!
Kagome: You asked for it. Sit!
Star: (smiles as she watches Inuyasha slam into the ground) Serves him right.
Kagome: (walks over to the figure of Inuyasha on the floor) now will you stop acting like a baby and calm down?
Inuyasha: (sits up and turns away from Kagome) NO!
Kagome: ugh! (thinks for a minute then gets a mischevious smile on her face. She turns and whispers something into Star's ear. Star get's the same look and nods)
Inuyasha: What are you two doing?
Kagome: Will you stay and behave?
Inuyasha: NO!! You can't make me stay!
Kagome: Then you leave me with no choice.
Inuyasha: Huh? (turns around and sees Kagome walking slowly towards him with a sly grin on her face.) Kagome? What are you doing? (backs away) Okay. You're freaking me out. Stop right there! I mean it!
Kagome: (sweetly) OOOHHHH Inuyaaaaashaaaa. ( rope appears in hands)
Inuyasha: (freaked out) Ummm. Kagome. What are you doing with that? Wait! NO! Stay away! Stoo-ahhh!!!! (screams as he gets tackled by Kagome)
Star: (ignores Inuyasha's screams) well that's it for now. I'm gonna start typing the next chapter now. Don't worry Inuyasha'll be fine. (winces as a muffled scream escapes) I hope. Okay. Please r&r. (dull thud comes from behind.) OOOhhhh. I hope he can move after this.
Kagome: That's Okay Star.
Inuyasha: Feh it's about time too. Now you can finish this dumb story.
Kagome: Inuyasha! That was really rude!
Inuyasha: Whatever (turns away from the girls)
Star: Don't worry Kagome. I'll get him back in another chapter. (smiles evilly at Inuyasha) Well anyway back to the story. You know how I said this will be a song fic, well it won't. Just cause I cant find the song.

"But you did."
"You still got hurt, Kagome! You shouldn't have been hurt. I should have been there for you, but I wasn't. You're hurt because of me!" Inuyasha could feel the tears forming in his eyes, but he held them back.
"You can't protect me from everything," said Kagome quietly.
