Disclaimer: I don't even own a car, safe to say I don't own Inuyasha. No money is being made off of this fic. Brah brah brah, just for enjoyment.
(A/N): Unfortunetly I'll have to kill some of your hopes before they get too high-- know this kills be just as much, I hate disappointing readers. There will probably be no full lemon in this story, because I'm sure you all have pretty great imaginations and this isn't going to turn into some PWP(Porn With Plot) smut fic-- I'm not good with things like that anyway. If it's any consolation, I'm posting two chapters this week.
Looking down from the tree above their campsite Inuyasha watches as Kagome, Sango and Shippo busy themselves. Well, Shippo was being busied. He was carting logs to the fire where Kagome would be making them breakfast. They were heading back today for supplies and to catch up on any new rumors, so they were in no hurry. He was aware this was partially to busy herself from all the negative thinking she'd been doing for a few days. Shippo had informed him of her saddened state, though he could feel her bad mood crawl over his skin when he was close to her. Looking around the site he watches Sango examining her bone weapon, Kirara at her side. She distractedly pets the cat's head when she mews softly. Miroku. Miroku was sitting, his back against the tree the hanyou was currently sitting in. Inuyasha's brow creases, the monk was staring intently at his hand, was it hurting him? His brow creases further, he didn't want to ask here. The other's hadn't noticed and he probably wouldn't like being interrogated, or being pitied by them. He looks off into the distance catching whiff of what was probably a field of flowers as the wind blows. His ears perk up as the scent sparks an idea 'She had flowers like those the last time he fought Sesshoumaru, the human girl that follows him'
"Feh" his voice is a murmur 'Of course Sesshoumaru would know, there has got to be at least one competent fox youkai working for . . . our family or at least in debt to' he outwardly scoffs at the word, our. It hadn't be 'our' for a long time.
'Now is as good a time as ever, she hasn't even started cooking yet' Inuyasha leaps down into the campsite below, startling Shippo. The kit drops his log eyes wide
"Inuyasha! You scared me!" Inuyasha kneels ruffling the kits hair
"come on now Shippo, you're a youkai aren't ya? Your ears should be open, you might have heard me" He stands the others eyes following him, having looked up as he landed "what if I was an enemy going to attack you?" Shippo’s eyes widen further.
Inuyasha turns towards Miroku taking a few steps in his direction. Miroku places his hand at his side. His eyes go to his injured arm 'I'd forgotten'
"how's your arm?" Miroku smiles
"Kagome-sama's medicine is a great help, no pain at all" Inuyasha nods
"is your hand hurting you?" his voice is almost a whisper, Miroku's eyes widen a fraction before he turns his gaze down to his lap
"no . . . it's fine Inuyasha" he flexes the hand a few times "I was just thinking"
"I won't let you die before that bastard, Miroku"
"I know you won't Inuyasha'
"don't forget it" Inuyasha crosses his arms looking up at the wispy clouds floating overhead 'finding Sesshoumaru will have to wait' Miroku shifts. He couldn't leave them alone for an unknown amount of time when Miroku was injured like this, it was hard enough leaving Miroku where he wasn't in range even when he wasn't injured. Even though she was quite strong Sango couldn't protect them all if something happened'
He turns at the clank of Kagome setting a pot of water on the stand to boil' he needed to talk to her, after breakfast then.
=-=-=-=
"Kagome" the miko jumps, dropping the pot of used water she'd been pouring out, onto the ground. She spins around quickly her hand going to the bow that would be on her back
"it's me" Her eyes widen a bit, her stance relaxing, but not completely.
"Inuyasha . . . you scared me" She picks up the pot 'twice today' "did you need something?"
"we need to talk" she sucks in a breath of air
"what could there be to talk about Inuyasha?" she starts heading back to the campsite before Inuyasha steps into her path
'she knows doesn't she?' "don't walk away" he crosses his arms blocking her when she tries to pass him again
"let me by"
"no, we're not done here"
"Inuyasha" her voice is warning, he doesn’t move
"Inuyasha! Move!" nothing "Inuyasha SIT!" her hands fly to her mouth and he smells the salt of the tears stinging her eyes
"Inuyasha . . . "
"that's what started this all you know?" his voiced softens, an almost pained look coming over his face. She nods wiping at her eyes
"I know Inuyasha" her shoulders are shaking slightly "and I know, you can't love me anymore-- I, you and Miroku, you're happy right?" she looks up at him trying to smile, her cheeks wet with tears. "I see how you smile at each other" a more tears flow "I--"
"Kagome" Inuyasha takes the Miko into his arms "I . . .care for Miroku a lot" he couldn't bring himself to say love just yet, not out loud anyway "--but Kagome, I can still love you, as a friend" She buries her face into his chest
"Inuyasha" she chokes back a sob "I messed up"
"I still want to be your friend Kagome"
there is a moment of silence from the girl, the only sounds her waning sobs
"I-- I want to be, friends Inuyasha" her heart continued to ache still.
=-=-=-=
Miroku glaces over at the youkai taijiya as she watches the woods for any sign of their two missing group members. He knew Inuyasha was filing Kagome in, from the look he has sent him before he followed, but he couldn't be sure how she'd react. He needed to tell Sango, his brow creases, she wouldn't take it well. He knew. 'Rejection by the men in her village, and almost everywhere else and now . . .from me'
"Sango-sama could you-- come here a moment?" He stands using his staff to assist him
"sure Miroku"
'oh Sango, I'm so sorry'
