Recap of Last Chapter:
“I can’t believe you anymore Kagome. You obviously don’t love me as much as I love you. We’re over.” He said as he walked out the door, never offering her a glance. Kagome sunk to the floor, tears streaming down her face. She loved him! Didn’t he understand?
Now she knew what the worst that could happen was.

Chapter Fourteen: It Hurts Me Too
xXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX x
Two days had passed. Kagome had tried many, many times to reach Inuyasha, but he wouldn’t have it. Even when she would go to the Satou Mansion, the housekeepers and even Izayoi herself would just look at Kagome sadly and then tell her that Inuyasha refused to speak with her. Kagome spent her time that she wasn’t trying to reach Inuyasha cooped up in the shrine house.
Inuyasha was a mess. He hadn’t left his room in two days. He refused to go to work, he had only eaten once when his mother had brought him a small dinner of ramen the night before. She practically had to shove the food down his throat, but he ate. He was heartbroken, he had finally found the one woman who didn’t want him for his money, or for sex, she just wanted him, Inuyasha Satou, and she turned out to be worse than all the others. The others he had at least known the truth about them, what they were after, but his sweet, innocent Kagome had turned into a vicious attack dog in a moments time.
The girls were trying to figure out what to do to get to Inuyasha, the only thing they could come up with was talking to Sesshoumaru, so it was left up to Kagura to fix the bet that she and her friend had made. She was told to even use the blackmail of Sesshoumaru’s own heart and threaten not to marry him if he wouldn’t help Kagome and Inuyasha. But Kagome was as much of a little sister to him as Kanna was, he would do anything for her.

With Sesshoumaru and Kagura
xXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx XxXx
Kagura sat on Sesshoumaru’s bed, he head resting on his shoulder, they had spent a few hours working on wedding plans, and now it was time for her other plan.
“Sesshou-kun.” She said while shifter her gaze up so that his face was in her view.
“Yes Love.” He answered back, not taking his eyes off of the spot on the wall that he had previously been starring at.
“I need to tell you something about this bet with Kagome and Inuyasha.” Kagura confessed.
“Really. Why should I care, the brat is unhappy, and that makes me happy.” He said as a small smirk came across his face.
“Yes, but Kagome is heartbroken. She loves him. The bet has nothing to do with her feelings for him.” Kagura stated knowing that it would get to Sesshoumaru. And it did. His smirk faded and his eyes softened.
“So she really did fuck up. This wasn’t planned?” Sesshoumaru questioned her while looking down towards his fiancé.
“No, he was never supposed to know, it was just a small, stupid bet.” She replied raising her head off of his chest.
“Alright, tell me all you know.” Sesshoumaru sighed before setting in for a long talk with Kagura. Kagura explained everything to him. The day they made the bet, the way the two felt about each other, the way that the bet had been found out, everything. After the two of them had spoken he sighed again. He knew what he had to do.

At Higurashi Shrine
xXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx XxXx
There was a knock at the door to the shrine. But Kagome would not get up to answer the door. She sat on the couch unmoving. The same place she had been since her last attempt to get to Inuyasha to listen to her. The door opened and Kagome looked up to see who would dare enter a shrine house without being invited. A ghost of a smile appeared on her face as she saw Sesshoumaru walk through the door and close it behind him. He walked over to the couch and sat down beside her.
“So, I hear that you actually fell in love with my idiot half brother. I just came here to tell you, that you need to tell him the truth about what happened, he might be a blubbering idiot, but he’ll listen to you.” Sesshoumaru stated while wiping some of the tears off of her face.
“He won’t even see me. I can’t even get into the house.” She said while shaking her head, as if to clear the thought of actually working things out for her.
“That’s where you’re wrong. I’ve already worked it all out. Izayoi is making him, and the rest of us go visit our grandmother Kaede tonight. We will all be out of the house. One of the maids has been instructed to let you in the house. We figure that he will leave grandmother’s house early so you can just wait for him in his room.” Sesshoumaru stated giving Kagome the perfect opportunity to talk to Inuyasha and sort things out.
“Are you sure?” She asked quietly, looking up into his eyes.
“If you’re ready to do it, it’s the perfect opportunity. But if not it’s okay, maybe another time.” Sesshoumaru said as if he was dismissing the idea all together.
“No, it’s okay, I’ll do it.” Kagome replied, making Sesshoumaru smiled.
“Whatever makes you happy Kagome.” He smiled at her, now she just had to think of what to say. I’d say that the truth would be a good start eh?

Later That Evening- Satou Mansion
xXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX xXxXx
Just as Sesshoumaru had predicted, Inuyasha had left his grandmothers long before anyone else even felt the need to be leaving. He had enough of staying out in public for one day.
Inuyasha walked up the stairs and went into the room. When he walked in and flipped out the lights, his eyes were shocked at what he saw. Kagome was sitting on the edge of his bed, waiting for him.
“What do you want?” He spat at her, his eyes turning instantly cold, she could see the tears that had already started to collect in his eyes.
“I want to explain to you what happened.” She answered with as much strength as she could muster.
“No.” He said instantly. Kagome began to cry softly, she was not sobbing but just silently crying.
“It hurts me too!” She said when she saw the hurt in his eyes as he spoke to her.
“Go away Kagome.” He said to her, his eyes wanting to look at anything but her.
“No Inuyasha I won’t!” She stated her voice raising as she stood up from the bed. “I’ll never go away, I’ll always be here by your side, whether you want me here or not!”
Inuyasha only blinked at her. She stood at the side of the bed, she took the blink as him telling her to explain herself, and so she did. “About the bet, it was only about us having sex. It had nothing to do with me dating you or any of the other stuff that happened between us. The only reason the bet was made was because I did want to sleep with you, but Kagura and Sango, who know that I can’t back down from any bet given to me, decided to make a bet because they thought that neither of us would have the gull to bring it up. They just wanted to make sure that our relationship progressed.”
“How do I know you’re not lying, that it hasn’t been a bet from the beginning?” He asked her quietly, his eyes softening just slightly.
“I’ve always wanted to be with you Inuyasha. I’m with you by choice!” She all but yelled to him. Inuyasha’s eyes softened slightly more. Kagome stood paralyzed as Inuyasha looked at everything in the room but her.
There was a silence in the room, it had been nearly a minute since she had last spoken, and he had yet to speak to her. Kagome looked down at a spot in his carpet that she had suddenly became interested in.
“Get over here wench.” He said almost gruffly after looking at her. Kagome’s head shot up and she saw the smile across his features. Kagome ran to him and threw her arms around his shoulders.
“I’m so sorry Inuyasha.” Kagome said while looking up with him, the tears still flowing freely, but this time of happiness and relief.
“Shut up and let me kiss you already wench.” Inuyasha smirked. And she did just that. The two of them stood in Inuyasha’s room kissing each other, her tears still flowing and silently healing both of their broken hearts. The heartbreak of the two prior days was nothing but darkness compared to the light of the passion and pure love that the two of them held for each other at that moment in time. They loved each other, they had each other and they were happy. That was all that matter to either of them.
Didn’t turn out to bad for two people who thought that they would never find a person who truly loved them for them, did it? Inuyasha had his non-money-grubbing-sex-hungry woman, and Kagome had him, the love of her life.

Chapter Quotes:
“What do you want?” He spat at her, his eyes turning instantly cold, she could see the tears that had already started to collect in his eyes.----- Oh the heartbreak
“It hurts me too!” She said when she saw the hurt in his eyes as he spoke to her.----- Gah! It’s the chapter title! Imagine that!
“No Inuyasha I won’t!” She stated her voice raising as she stood up from the bed. “I’ll never go away, I’ll always be here by your side, whether you want me here or not!”----- Whatever that episode is that she tells him all this junk and the next bit, yeah that’s where the inspiration for this story came from... so I figured I’d add it in.
“I’ve always wanted to be with you Inuyasha. I’m with you by choice!” She all but yelled to him.---- Gah! Story title! “I’m with you by choice Inuyasha, whether you keep running back to that evil clay pot or not, I’ll always be here.” < loosely translated lol :D
“Get over here wench.” He said almost gruffly after looking at her---- I’m just happy I didn’t write ‘wrench’ instead of ‘wench’. I read a girls story once where he kept calling her a wrench instead of a wench for the whole first chapter of the story it happened like 15-20 times. I was like “Damn, Inuyasha really does just think of you as a tool.” Lol
