This “…” means someone is speaking.
Last time on For How Much Longer Ch1…
Sango flew down with a transformed Kilala then jumped off and ran over to Kagome with worry filled eyes. “What happened to Inuyasha? Are you injured? Who did this to you two? Was it Naraku? How did you manage to save Inuyasha?” The demon exterminator was rambling while Kagome couldn't help but give Sango a genuine smile. “Hem…well all I can answer from all of those questions is that, no I am not injured, Inuyasha here is, but not life threateningly, it was Kikyo and I found him this way but much worse so I used my miko powers.” As soon as she finished she patted Sango's shoulder to reassure her that everything was gonna be just fine, or so she could only hope so….
In a dimly lit room lay Inuyasha atop a soft and cozy futon thankfully provided by Lady Kaede. Sitting silently near the Half-demon's bed side was the young now soon to be 16 year old miko, Kagome. If you looked closely enough you would be able to make out the young woman's slightly shaking form including the diamonds of heartache slipping through her thick lashes.
`Oh Inuyasha…please, oh please wake up soon. I can't stand to see you like this, so vulnerable, so fragile…s-so…hel-helpless.' She was now covering her mouth with her left hand in order to suppress a strong sob that was fighting violently to slip through her rosy, quivering lips. Her tears were streaming down her face as her elegant eyebrows knitted together at her silent attempts to keep silent as to not alert the others.
She hesitated a moment before lowering her hand from her visage to move a few strands of silvery silk that was Inuyasha's hair. Kagome brushed across his chin up from corner to corner of his firm jaw line. She giggled softly, yet her voice was aching from all of her tears so it came out as hoarse gasps.
He looked so innocent while he slept…it made her forget all about his whole tough guy act and think that he's a big softy underneath his boyish features. “Inuyasha…” She whispered as she leaned down and kissed his cheek. She straitened only slightly so she could examine his face and admire it. Oh how she yearned to be able to gaze into those orbs of molten fiery gold.
Kagome was still leaning over his well toned, lean frame when she blinked and a single glint lighted tear slipped from her auburn soft eyes, which were now red and somewhat puffy from her fret.
It fell from the curve of her check bone to his firm and straight jaw. The wetness from her tear caused The Inu-hanyo to stir in his slumber.
Together golden eyes began to gradually unfasten. Kagome, much to her dismay, still had yet to move herself from her leaning position. When his unique autumn orbs were fully focused, they snapped wide noticing the way their bodies were situated.
“Um…Ka-Kago-me.” Inuyasha managed to strangle out from embarrassment. He was blushing madly as Kagome quickly jumped away by the sound of his rumbling and groggy voice. “Uh…Inuyasha!” Said miko gasped happily trying oh so very hard to force down the fresh tears that were threatening to spill.
Instead, she chose to hop right into his lap and hugs him for all she was worth no matter how much he didn't like it.
Although, what the young boy did next made Kagome's heart stop beating for what seemed like forever. Two strong and utmost powerful arms wrapped themselves around her slim and curvaceous waist. He then whispered softly blowing warm breath onto the shell of her ear, causing unintentional sparks of pleasure to flow through her to the very tips of her newly pedicured toes.
“Kagome…I'm really s-sorry for leaving you to go and see Ki-“He was silenced by a warm and slender finger pressed to his soft lips. “Please…don't, I really don't want to explain to you what truly happened. I mean, between me and her.” Here she was a 151/2 year old girl/woman who had a painful time explaining to him what it was that happened with his ex Kikyo.
She slithered her lone hand away from around his muscular back. Kagome then positioned herself into the same seated location she was in prior to Inuyasha's awakening and far enough from the handsome hanyo's questioning gaze.
“It's just…”she sighed deeply”I can't tell you…at least… not just yet. It's kinda complicated ya see she sorta…uh never mind I'll tell you at dinner time.” Inuyasha then brought his gaze downwards to the point where his eyes were covered by his bangs.
She took note of the cute sad little droop his fuzzy appendages took on. This made Kagome feel a ping of guilt for having him await the news of the woman he probably still loved after so long.
As she was about to reach forward and comfort him Miroku stalked inside with a huge and goofy grin on his face. “Lady Sango has just finished with our supper Kagome-san…oh and…Ah! I see the sleeping beauty has finally awakened! Come, join us Inuyasha.” Kagome sweat dropped as she almost fell over for Miroku's “sleeping beauty” phrasing.
She slowly unbeknownst to the clueless and still grinning monk took in Inuyasha's still form. He still had his silvery locks that had yet to stop, from covering his eyes. 'Inu-ya-sha…oh how much I wish this could be easier on you…you truly deserve much better.'
Being snapped back to reality Kagome nodded dumbly in Miroku's direction. He took a halted step back when kagome flashed him a quick smile saying `It'll be okay don't worry `bout it.'
Then it was back to just Kagome and Inuyasha (no you hentai's out there T_T…)
She slowly turned her head so she could get a better look at his stiff being. He was only slightly hunched over along with his droopy ears. Plainly said he looked like Shippo when he did something wrong. `What did he do that makes him look so…guilty?' “C'mon Inuyasha…let's go get something to eat I am sure your starving.” When she received no response she frowned. “How about I cook you up some beef flavored ramen…it's your favorite.” She said trying so very desperately to cheer him up so he can give one of his famous toothy grins.
The only response she ended up receiving was a shake of his head and a faint whisper, but the sad and soft tone he used made her flinch as if though she'd been stricken across the face.
She simply left him at those last words and left Kaede's hut to join the other's who were waiting patiently outside near the fire.

Kagome took uneasy steps as she worked hard on focusing on her friends who were looking at her while she approached. She then took a seat across from the 17 year old taijiya and the monk Miroku. Both looked to be waiting for her to say or do something, but she hadn't the faintest of ideas.
Sango chose to break the annoying silence by speaking first. “Well, no use in letting this scrumptious rabbit stew and curry go to waste now let's dig in till we explode shall we?!” she answered that a little too cheerfully, which seemed a little odd.
As Kagome was just beginning to finally unwind and relax whilst enjoying Sango's heavenly cooking, she felt someone slip up to sit beside her.
`Inu-yasha…' was all she thought before she knew what she had to do which was explain Kikyo's terrible scheme and her betrayal…oh…she knew this was going to wound the poor half-demon deep, and she would have to be the one to help him heal.
Sango reached over and handed Inuyasha some of her food that she had prepared especially for him. It was ramen and some side rice with just a tiny bit of soy sauce to give his senses a jolt. He looked up and smiled a sad smile, but accepted their attempts to comfort him. Their efforts did not go unappreciated at all by Inuyasha, in fact he gladly accepted.
He averted his gaze to settle upon the beauty seated right beside him. It took him a lot of time to think about it…but he would just have to accept whatever it was Kikyo had done. He also noticed that Kagome would not stop looking at him. He knew she really didn't want to have to tell him…but in a way Kagome felt he had a right to know. `Kikyo…' was Inuyasha's last thought till Kagome decided to finally explain the predicament they had found.
