InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Still in Love ❯ Why Won't You Kiss Me?? ( Chapter 7 )

::sigh:: Well, I got a million reviewers asking who the hell got killed in the operating room, lol. Kagome's boyfriend got killed, right? And her boyfriend is Hojo, after all. And if her boyfriend is, in fact, Hojo, then who do you think got killed in the operating room? lol. Hojo was in the other car when the crash occured.

::sigh:: I probally wasn't being clear enough... I betcha I wasn't, I betcha that you guys probally thought that when I said "He was in a car crash with his girlfriend" you thought I meant that he was actually in the car with her. Sorry I wasn't clear on that. And I'm sorry it took so long for me to update T_T. Stupid school starts tomorrow.... and I'm not sure if we had homework, and if we did, I certainly didn't do it O_O;; I'm in trouble with Mrs. Campbell now...

~*End Flashback*~ *A/N-I know I shoulda put this in chapter six, but I forgot to*

"Kagome??" He asked, now fully awake.

"I-Inu-Yasha!!" Kagome yelled as she ran to him, and put her arms around him. She needed someone...anyone to comfort her. Her best friend had died, and now Hojo, her boyfriend of six months. You can't even imagine Kagome's pain and depression. "I-It's t-t-terrible!!" Kagome sobbed into his chest.

"What's terrible, Kagome?" He asked, looking down at the woman crying on his chest.

"I-I-It's H-Hojo! H-H-He died!!" Kagome managed to say through all the tears. *A/N-Why the hell is she so sad? If I were her, I'd be jumping for joy!! ::sigh:: I don't understand Kagome*

Inu-Yasha barely managed to keep the "Feh!" to himself, but he did for Kagome's sake. As we all know, Inu-Yasha has and always will hate Hojo. He hates him for three reasons...Reason #1 is because when Kagome was 15, Hojo had cheated on her with some slut. Reason #2 is because... well, Hojo's just too perfect! Anyone who is "perfect" Inu-Yasha didn't trust. Reason #3 is because he was always jealous of Hojo, no matter how much he hated to admit it. Granted, Inu-Yasha had looks on his side, but Hojo had Kagome's love, and anyone with that would always make him green with envy. Inu-Yasha patted her head. "It'll be alright, Kagome..." he whispered softly in her ear.

"How do you know??" She said, looking up at him, tears still in her eyes, arms still wrapped tightly around him. "How do we know anything?? How do I know that the next person I get close to, won't just die like Hojo and Sango?!"

"You don't...." Inu-Yasha replied. One arm was stroking Kagome's hair, the other one was around her. "But that's what love is all about.... it's unpredictable and full of risks."

Kagome pulled her head up, and looked Inu-Yasha in the eyes. She was speechless... she never knew Inu-Yasha's outlook on love could be so... true. She stopped sobbing and leaned in to kiss Inu-Yasha. Inu-Yasha leaned in, too. Their lips got closer...and closer... but Inu-Yasha pulled away. "I can't..." Inu-Yasha told her, looking away.

"W-Why not?" Kagome asked, getting off of Inu-Yasha's lap.

"Kagome..." he said, getting up himself. "You don't know how long I've waited for this moment... when you would take me back--"

Kagome interrupted him,"Then why won't you kiss me?!?"

"You're...." Inu-Yasha took a breath. "You're vulnerable. Even if I were Miroku, you would be acting the same way you are now... You're looking for anyone to lean on, to love. But on the inside, you're not really in love with me. Like I said... you're just vulnerable at the moment." ::sigh:: Inu-Yasha didn't know how Kagome had always loved him, how her heart leapt whenever she saw him... how he makes her feel like nothing can ever get her, and everything will be alright.

Kagome glared at him evilly through her tears. "You jerk!" She yelled at him. "You have no idea what you're talking about! You think I'm such a slut that I would just go for the closest guy after my boyfriend died!! The truth is... I've always loved you!! I can't believe you think that low of me!! I'm leaving, they said I could go home when I was ready, anyway! I was just staying so I could be with you... but I've got to go to my mother's house and pick up my kids... our kids..." Kagome stormed out of the room.

"Stupid girl..." Inu-Yasha said to himself. "I've always loved you, too... but I guess it's just... not enough..." He left the room.
