Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha even though I wish I did. Thank You.



Last Time.......

Kagome felt her heart breaking into pieces. She was clueless that Naraku and Nanashi were impersonating Inuyasha and Kikyo. She didn't even respond to the weird feeling she felt when he said that thinking it was part of her sorrow at losing the person she loved.

"Then I will leave and never return. Tell the others that I will not be coming back."

"Thank you and may I have the jewel shards."

"They are in my era and you will have to come get them."

Kagome turned and began to cry as she walked toward the well. She felt as if her world had just ended.

'He marked me, told me he loved me, and now he is going after that bitch.'

'You knew it would happen Kagome. Don't kid yourself. You'll find somebody else.'

'I want to die right now. There will never be anybody like him ever.'

Kagome was met with silence as she put her legs over the side of the well so that she could go cry to her mother. But she didn't want her mother to know yet because it would probably only make things worse. She jumped into the well feeling the familiar warmth wash over her. When he came for the shards she would not cry in front of him. She would have to suck it up and hold it in. She got out of the well and ran to her room not saying a word to her mother.

Chapter 10

Feelings of the Heart Part 2


'How could he do that to me?' Kagome just couldn't believe that it had happened.

“Naraku it seems as if that part of our plan has worked. Nanashi had been reading Kagome’s thoughts from her book. They were back at the castle getting ready to execute the next part of their plan.

"Who should we go after next Naraku?"

"I think we should go after the traitorous wench Kikyo."

"Yes since she will take care of Inuyasha."

"Let’s go then."

Kikyo would never know what hit her until she was dead this was the perfect plan in their eyes but if it didn't work then they would need another plan. When they found Kikyo she was sitting in a tree with her eyes closed.

"Kikyo I need to tell you something." Naraku was in the form of Inuyasha.

"Do you wish to come to hell with me?"

"No he came to tell you he loves me and not you and that we are going to be mates." Nanashi said as she came out of the forest looking like Kagome.

"I do not wish to continue this discussion." Kikyo said as she slowly disappeared.

'Our plan did not work on her.' Nanashi obviously did not know that Naraku had a back up plan.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

'I wonder what is keeping Kagome.' Inuyasha was waiting by the well.

"You should go get her." Sango was entering the clearing.

"I guess I'll drag her butt back here." With that Inuyasha jumped over the side of the well. When he went to Kagome’s time all he could smell was salt. 'Has she been crying.' Inuyasha thought. Inuyasha walked cautiously toward Kagome's home. It appeared that Mrs. Higurashi was not home. He went up to Kagome's room finding her asleep he curled up beside her. Kagome almost automatically woke up. She met Inuyasha eyes causing her heart to break again.

"Inuyasha get away from me now!"

"Why? Did I do something wrong?"

"I can't believe that I actually thought that you could love me. I can't believe I let you mark me."

"Kagome what are you saying? I do love you with my whole heart."

Kagome had heard enough now she was choosing to ignore him and search for the bottle of jewel shards skillfully hidden in her room. She felt as thought her heart would just give out if he said he loved her one more time. Her heart was in more pieces than the Sacred Jewel.

"Kagome! What's wrong why are you acting this way? What are you looking for anyways?"

"You know exactly what I am looking for you jerk. The only reason you came back." She said this in an extremely icy tone. Just then she found the jewel shards. Kagome looked at them for a second. She was reminded of what she actually was to him a 'jewel detector' and that's all she believed she was. She then threw the bottle at Inuyasha who barely had time to catch it.

"Kagome! What the HELL is going on?"

"You of all people know what is going on. Go back to Kikyo. I'm sure she'll be waiting for you with open arms."

"I have no idea what you are talking about."

"I'm tired of your lies.... Just get out.... Take the shards and don't ever come to get me again. I can except that you love Kikyo more but I can't except that you marked me and then chose Kikyo."

"Kagome! I did no-"

"Just get out!" Kagome had interrupted and silent tears were now streaming down her cheeks. Inuyasha was about to say something more but Kagome threw a vase at him. Inuyasha ran out the door. Inuyasha could hear Kagome sobbing loudly. Inuyasha left the shards on the kitchen table in hopes that she would change her mind. Inuyasha jumped back over the side of the well with tears in his eyes. Sango was waiting for him when he got there.

"So where is Kagome?"

"She is pissed off at me for something but what she said sounded ridiculous."

"Well give her time and then maybe she'll come back around."

"I sure hope so cause I don't think that I could live without her."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I can't believe he dared to lie to me again." Kagome had said this since she knew he had gone back to his time.

'I will go for a walk.'

'No you should stay here.'

'Maybe if I go to some place away from here I will forget him.'

'I don't know...'

'I will leave a note for momma.'

'I guess.'

Kagome wrote a letter to her mom telling her she needed time away and would be back in a few days. She then grabbed a phone book to look for a place that she could relax. She soon found something that offered 'peace, tranquility, and a spa’ basically what she was looking for. Kagome got on a bus and went to the serenity garden in the next town.

'This is much better.'

'You should have come here sooner.'

'Yes, I should have.'

"Kagome may I please speak with you?" Kagome had opened her eyes to see a figure looking identical to Sesshoumaru. Sesshoumaru could not have possibly lived this long or could he. Kouga had lived that long so why not Sesshoumaru. She quickly stood to her feet so as not to feel so inadequate.

"Yeah sure."

"Then follow me." As soon as Sesshoumaru had said this he began moving. Kagome followed Sesshomaru to his study. It seemed that he owned the serenity garden. She admired the woodcarvings while he searched for a very old document.

'Where did I put that damn thing.'

'You put it somewhere you thought you'd be able to find it.'

'Yes. I know that but where exactly.'

'What about in the family book.'

'Yes. That's where I put it.' Sesshoumaru grabbed the book and pulled the old paper out.

"Kagome am I right to presume that you and Inuyasha just had a fight about something life changing."

"Yes you are correct. That bastard marked me and then went for Kikyo. I can't believe I actually thought that he could stay true to me."

"This will help to explain things better."

Sesshoumaru though he didn't like his brother he didn't want the past to be repeated. Sesshoumaru handed the paper to Kagome who read it quickly. Kagome had begun to cry about halfway through. Sesshoumaru imagined she had gotten to the worst part in the whole paper when she looked away for a few minutes and then began to read it again. This paper described their fight in great detail and what happened afterward and she found out how everybody died including herself. She had to change this but would she know how when the time came or was it already too far for her to change.

"Who wrote this?" Kagome asked first.

"Inuyasha did before he died. If you noticed his death is written in a different hand."

"How did he die it doesn't say?"

"He died soon after you did."

"Can this be changed?"

"Yes but wait for Inuyasha to come get you again or else the prophecy will be fulfilled."

"All right but what if he never comes?"

"He will. I promise."

Kagome gave Sesshoumaru a quick hug before leaving the room. She obviously didn't know what she did to him. He could still see her the day everybody died. She had been so sad when she came back with the Jewel shards. She had walked right into a battlefield not even knowing it. Kikyo had been trying to kill Inuyasha with an arrow but Kagome was caught in the crossfire. The monk and demon slayer had fallen earlier from Naraku's plot. Soon after Kagome died Inuyasha had killed Kikyo and then had lain down beside Kagome and let himself starve to death. A woman soon brought Sesshoumaru out of his memories of the past.

"She doesn't know you used to love her does she?"

"No my love she does not but when she died I moved on."

"That is about the time you met me and started showing real emotion."

"Yes Kai. That is about the time I rescued you."

Kagome had arrived home to find her house empty yet again. It seemed as if everybody was going in opposite directions all the time. Her going back and forth in time, Mom going to work and the book club, Souta going to soccer practice and over to friend's houses, and Grandpa...god only knew where he went all of the time. It didn't seem to bother her too much that she had the house to herself if only for a short time to have piece and quiet. She went to the kitchen and noticed the shards on the table. She figured he must have left them so that she had to come see him but she was going to wait for him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Inuyasha! Did you really choose Kagome?" Kikyo had found him and had started questioning him. At first she didn't want to believe that he had actually chosen Kagome but then when it kept nagging at her she went and found him.

"Yes Kikyo I did but she seems to think I chose you." Inuyasha said this with disgust evident in his voice.

"Why do you say that as if it were a bad thing Inuyasha?"

"Because it is a terrible thing to choose a dead woman over one who is living."

"I believe that you are wrong. Being a dead woman walking among the living means that I will live longer without having to become a demon."

"And you steal others souls to exist. Kikyo you truly are pathetic. And besides what is wrong with being a demon?"

"I wish not to talk of these things."

"Then you should leave."

"I shall but I will give you this warning. If she dies I get her soul and become a living being again and if that happens I will not hesitate to come after you and all of you friends."

"Kagome will not die. Now leave before I decide to kill you."

"You truly do love her and not because she is my reincarnation but because she is Kagome. I almost pity you for being so...weak."

"Of course I love her because she is Kagome. She is completely different from you seeing as she knows love isn't a weakness but strength." Inuyasha said this last part more to himself than to Kikyo.

"I guess you two spoke the truth then."

"Who are you talking about?"

"You and your wench."

"She has a name so use it. Besides what do you mean we spoke the truth?"

"You both came up to me yesterday and said you were together."

"What?! I was in Kagome's time yesterday."

"Inuyasha you lie."

"No I am speaking the truth." Kikyo who had already left did not hear Inuyasha’s words. Inuyasha didn't think things could get worse. Kagome hated him, Kikyo thought he was a liar, and the rest of his group was not even listening to him anymore.

'Is this a trick?'

'Of course it is.'

'But who? I do not think it is Naraku because she said there were two.'

'He probably made another child of his.'

'I do not know but I wish Kagome were here.'

'So do I buddy. So do I.'

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~

"What do you suppose we do now?" Nanashi was growing tired of Naraku's games.

"We continue with the plan."

"Kagome already knows that it was a trick."

"But she will be waiting for Inuyasha. She will not come back to him."

"So we will...continue with the plan."

"No I have a new plan."

"Tell me what to do and I'll obey."

"It is much like the other ones only this time it will be Inuyasha who must suffer."

"Then let us depart."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Inuyasha was sitting in the God Tree thinking if it would be wise to get Kagome. He knew it probably wasn't wise but he felt compelled to figure out what he did wrong.

"Inuyasha." Came Kagome's sweet voice. Inuyasha looked down to make sure he wasn't imagining things. Sure enough he saw the form of Kagome. Inuyasha's heart nearly leapt out of his chest when he saw her. He then jumped down out of the tree not knowing it was Nanashi in disguise.

"Kagome."

"I need to speak with you."

"Sure Kagome as long as you don't yell again."

"All right."

"You know I still love you even though you chose Kikyo."

"But I didn't choose Kikyo."

"It doesn't matter now."

"Why does it not matter?"

"Because you are about to die." It was the voice of Kikyo who said this remark.

"What do you mean?"

"She means you have betrayed us both."

"No I have not."

Naraku raised a bow with an arrow pulled back as he came out of his hiding place.

"Kikyo why?"

"You have betrayed me." Naraku let his arrow fly landing right beside Inuyasha's head. Nanashi was now ready for her arrow to fly but was a little to close for her liking. Nanashi took a couple steps back and then let her arrow go. She pinned Inuyasha to the tree by his right arm.

"Kagome! Why are you doing this I love you."

"You deserve this Inuyasha and as for you love. Love is a weak emotion that I do not wish to feel again." Nanashi had now pulled another arrow back and let it fly. She hit Inuyasha's right leg this time.

'This can't be my Kagome. She never thought love was weak.'

'Well maybe she has changed.'

'No, I must be forgetting something.'

'Probably something your father said when you were little.'

'Let me think.'

Another arrow hit Inuyasha but he didn't pay attention.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
FLASHBACK

"Inuyasha this is important so pay attention." The late Inutaisho was teaching a very young Inuyasha.

"All right. What do you wish to teach me now?"

"When you mate Inuyasha it is for life and when you mark your mate you should know where she is judging on the strength of the mark's pulse. Do you have that?"

"Yes father but why do I need to know this?"

"For reasons I am not allowed to say."

END FLASHBACK
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~

Nanashi had already shot several arrows into him by now. Inuyasha closed his eyes to find the mark. He felt deep down in his heard and knew that Kagome was still in her time. Inuyasha pulled away from the tree and grasped the imposter by the neck.

"You are not Kagome...So who are you?"

"I am Kagome." With Nanashi's reply Inuyasha squeezed tighter on Nanashi's throat. Nanashi began to lose concentration. She soon returned to her normal form.

"You are nothing but a shape shifter."

"My name is Nanashi."

"What were you trying to do?"

"Now that must remain a secret."

"Then I'll kill you so that you don't try this again."
With one movement Inuyasha had taken Tetsusaiga out and killed Nanashi. Now he would need to take care of the problem with Kagome.

Good/Bad you decide. If I don't get a lot of reviews then I might stop writing this for a while and concentrate on my other Fanfic. The title is The Reality of It All and it will be coming out soon and is a Sesshomaru and Kagome Fic. Well anyways it took me a while to figure out how to incorporate the Title of the chapter into the story cause lets face it I couldn't leave Inuyasha dead and still thinking it was Kagome now could I so I decided to use the mark. I don’t know if any of this is accurate but oh well I’m the one that is writing the story. Please Review!!!!!
