From Chapter 1

Kagome grumbled and squinted open her eyes only to find that it was still night. Turning around her looked up at her hanyou companion sleeping peacefully, a possessive arm around her waist. He was mumbling something about `not leaving' and she just smiled, that is until she heard him say,

“Kikyo.”

Then reality came crashing down on her, and her eyes widened.

Substitute Love

Chapter 2

`No…' she thought frantically trying to think of an excuse in Inuyasha's behaviour.

Beside her Inuyasha grumbled and snuggled himself closer to his mate.

`Mine…' he thought subconsciously.

Kagome stiffened and frowned.

`How could this be happening to me? I thought, I honestly thought that he loved me for me, not for her. He used me because he missed her so much… He only slept with me to satisfy his sexual pleasures.' She stifled a whimper.

Gently Kagome pried herself away from a possessive and whimpering Inuyasha. When she lifted his arms, he started to growl and tightened his hold on her.

`This is hopeless.' She thought.

Trying again, she managed to squirm out of his grasps but in his sleep, Inuyasha stretched out his arms for the lost heat. Smiling sadly, Kagome took out her blanket roll and gave it to Inuyasha's arm. Happily he accepted it and snuggled closely, still asleep. Gathering her discarded clothes, Kagome changed behind a tree and ran away from the camp, running away from the horrible event, from the hanyou that used her, first to find the jewel shards and now to satisfy his own pleasures. Running swiftly through the dark forest she scrapped many parts of her body, but she did not cry nor did she call out in pain. Kagome was tired of crying and feeling helpless.

`I don't think I can stand seeing Inuyasha anymore, but I did promise him that I'd help him find the jewel shards.' Her mind battled then found an idea, `Yes I promised him that I'd find the jewel shards but I didn't say whom I would work with to find the shards.'

Kagome stood up with determination and walked towards the mountains, hoping he would be there to welcome her.

Back in the campsite (Normal POV)

Inuyasha grumbled and growled, this wasn't right… why was Kagome so lumpy and cold? Yet she still held her scent, sort of, this scent smelt like an object that Kagome used frequently… not her, but something that belongs to her. If Kagome wasn't here then were is she? Wait- she wasn't here!

Inuyasha's eyes shot open and he sat straight up. Quickly he turned his head and saw Kagome's bed roll. Confused, Inuyasha looked around to search for his mate.

`Kagome where are you?' he thought, slightly panicked.

`Find Mate, Protect mate, punish self for not keeping mate safe.' His demon side scolded.

Seeing Kagome nowhere in sight made him panic, this was like his dream.

Dream sequence

Inuyasha was running and leaping off trees with Kagome on his back, fear radiating off of her. Inuyasha gave a reassuring squeeze on her thighs and felt her relax a bit. Hearing the loud scream of fury he ran even quicker, to keep his mate safe. Suddenly he reached a barrier and fell down with Kagome underneath him… that meant if they were to land, he would crush Kagome, realization hitting him, he turned himself around and took the impact of the fall. Land on hard forest ground he felt liquid splashed on him, looking up he saw Kagome lying face down blood oozing out from a wound right through her heart. Sticking up from her wound was a sacred arrow, Kikyo's sacred arrow. Quickly he picked her up and cradled her form to his chest, calling her name over and over again, yet there was no reply.

“No! Don't Leave Please! No…” he cried.

Suddenly he felt great pain in his heart, and not only emotionally, an arrow was sticking out of his heart and he looked up. There, Kikyo was standing with an emotional face.

“That is your punishment when you do not come to hell with me, you were wrong to choose her Inuyasha, and these are the consequences.” She stated.

“Kikyo…” he managed to whisper out before seeing her walk away.

Not minding the undead miko he returned to his mate and snuggled up to her, inhaling her sweet scent, even covered in blood. He knew they would both die but he didn't mind, as long as he was with his Kagome.

End Dream sequence

Now Inuyasha didn't know the difference… did his mate really leave him? Is this part of the dream too? No of course not, he couldn't feel the pain in his dream but now, now his heart ached. Inuyasha couldn't help but wonder if Kagome thought that he wasn't good enough, he was scared, that she had changed her mind and finally left him.

“Kagome… please don't leave me.” He whispered.

Getting his clothes back on, he packed up her yellow bag and set off to go and find her, hoping that nothing bad had happened to her. Sniffing her scent from the ground he picked up incredible sadness, his ears pinned to his head. Had he really done that bad that she regretted ever being with him because Inuyasha sure as hell didn't find anything wrong in professing his love for her, not when she loved him back as well.

Following her sweet scent, Inuyasha found himself walking towards mountains, Kouga's mountains.

`Damn if that flea-bitten wolf lays one grubby paw on her I will tear him into pieces!' he thought angrily, his eyes flashing red for a brief moment.

`Retrieve mate, kill other male, beg mate for forgiveness.' He demon side advised.

Although Inuyasha would love to kill that wolf, he was still Kagome's friend and he didn't think that Kagome would be too happy if he died, still he would kill him without thought if he touched his mate. The two other advices were quite obvious that he would follow through in, he had to get her back, Inuyasha would die without her because he had marked her, Kagome wouldn't be able to survive either.

`But I'm not getting her back because I'd die, but because I truly do love her and wouldn't be able to live without her anyways.' He thought as he leapt through some trees towards the mountains.

And begging for forgiveness? That was a given. Of course he was going to be forgiven! Inuyasha would do anything to get Kagome to love him again.

`Stupid youkai side, doesn't think that I love her…' he scoffed, as he saw the base of the mountain in sight.

Happy that he got to the mountain before sunset he took great leaps towards his mate.

`I'm coming for you Kagome, just hang on!' He thought desperately as he saw the entrance of the cave.

In Koga's Cave (Normal POV)

Once Kagome got to the entrance, after a long hike she looked around.

“Koga?” she called out timidly.

In a flash of whirlwind, Koga appeared and held on to Kagome's hands.

“Kagome! Have you finally come to be my mate?” he asked excited, then his brows scrunched up and sniffed her a bit. Suddenly he growled.

“Did that mutt take advantage of you?” he asked sternly.

Kagome looked down, ashamed.

Koga grabbed onto her shoulders and shook her a bit.

“Kagome tell me what happened.” He commanded.

“C-can I go in first?” she asked, eyes glistening with tears.

Kouga sighed; this was going to be a long conversation.

“Ya, sure. Come in.” he replied with a slight smile.

As they walked in, the wolves stopped what they were doing and started sniffing the air, when they smelt Kagome they started growling. Kagome immediately stiffened up beside Koga.

“Its ok, they just smell…him on you.” He replied, a bit uncomfortable about this conversation.

“Oh…” she replied.

Soon they got in to Koga's chamber and Kagome sat across from him on a futon.

“So Kagome, tell me what happened?” he asked, concerned for the miko.

Kagome's eyes filled up tears thinking of the night before.

“It-it started off when he said that he loved me…” and she burst out into tears.

Koga hugged Kagome and stroked her back in a comforting manner.

“Hey, it's ok… just tell me what happened.” He said.

So Kagome told him about Inuyasha saying that he wanted to show her how much he loved and cared for her. Kagome told Koga that they mated, and Koga tensed at that. Finally, Kagome told Koga that after they had mated Inuyasha had called out Kikyo's name in his sleep.

“Koga,” she sobbed out, “I really thought that he loved me, but he used me! Inuyasha used me for his own needs!”

Koga was mad, he knew that the hanyou liked the undead miko but he would never have thought that Inuyasha would go so low as to use Kagome for his own sexual needs.

`That bastard, how could he use Kagome like a common whore!' he thought angrily.

“It's ok Kagome, if he doesn't want you, I'll take care of you, even as a friend. I wont let anything hurt you, but most of all I won't let him hurt you.” He promised.

Kagome hugged Koga and thanked him.

“K-Koga? Can I ask you for a favor?” Kagome questioned, nervous.

“Of course. What is it?” he replied.

“I-I know that I should be doing this with I-Inuyasha, but I don't think I can see him anymore,” she continued, “I promised him that I would find all the jewel shards for him, so that he could make his wish, can-can you help me find the jewel shards?”

Koga was shocked, Inuyasha betrayed her and yet she still cared about him more than herself.

`Inuyasha, you are one lucky dog.' He thought, `too bad you didn't cherish her, but I will protect her and make up for all the things that you've lacked.'

“Yes, of course Kagome. I will help you. Let's set out tomorrow.” He replied, smiling.

Kagome smiled back.

“Thank you Koga!” she then hugged him in a friendly hug, “You're such a good friend.”

Outside the mountain with Inuyasha (Normal POV)

Inuyasha jumped from rock to rock trying to get to his mate as fast as he could, his worry for her was driving him crazy.

`Please be alright Kagome.' He thought as he finally reached the opening of the cave. Swiftly he walked into the opening and was welcomed by growling wolves, ignoring them he continued his search for her until he finally reached a chamber, Koga's chamber. Walking in, he saw the most heart-breaking sight in his hanyou life.

His mate was hugging the wolf.

As is sensing his presence, his mate and the wolf moved apart. His mate gasped.

“I-Inuyasha…”

And his eyes turned red.
