Title: The Heart Says in Silence, What it Fears to Say Aloud

Chapter Seven: Words Left Unsaid

"What's taking Kagome so long Inu-yasha?" the young demon asked as he huddled near Inu-yasha's legs, looking up at him with questioning eyes.

"Keh, how in the hell would I know, runt?" the hanyou rolled his eyes at the kitsune.

"Can't you just go back and get her?"

"She'll come back when she feels like it."

"If you don't care when she comes back than how come you're fidgeting and pacing everywhere like you're waiting for her?"

A thump served as the response to Shippou's question and tears were the result.

"I'm going to….tell Kagome that you th-thumped me!!" the little demon cried.

"Yeah, so what do you think a pathetic human like her can do to me?"

A glint of evil appeared in the kitsune's eye as he looked toward the hanyou.

"She'll `sit' you." He said simply.

A snarl was released from Inu-yasha as the knowledge that that was exactly what the miko would do dawned upon him.

"Oh sure….she's really pathetic, eh Inu-yasha?"

"Shut up!!!"

~*~*~*~

"Kagome!"

"Where have you been?"

The voices of her friends towered over all the other sounds that could be heard .

An annoyed grunt came out of her before she realized how much she didn't want to be bothered with them.

It wasn't like she'd planned on drifting apart from them, it just happened, somewhere between meeting Miroku and Sango; getting situated in the Feudal Era and falling in love she just lost herself from them.

"Where have you been Kagome? You've totally been ignoring Hojo."

"Yeah, he's been asking about you every time we see him."

"Why haven't you answered his calls?"

"Don't tell me it's because of your boyfriend again? Kagome, when are you going to realize that he doesn't deserve you?"

Why can't they just shut up? They don't know a thing about Inu-yasha and me…nothing.

Kagome they're your friends.

If they were then they would stop pushing this guy on me. I haven't ever said that I wanted to be with Hojo.

"I'm not interested in him."

Shock colored their faces and they each gave an astonished gasp.

"Kagome how can you not be interested in Hojo? He's a nice guy and he really likes you."

"Hojo doesn't even know me."

Eri sighed heavily, "Well duh because every time he tries to take you out you bail on him…ALWAYS."

Kagome started towards the door of her homeroom, "Well maybe he should just take a hint. I swear I don't know who's more persistent: him or Kouga, at least I like Kouga."

Ayumi chose to speak up at that moment and tapped her friends on their respective shoulders, "Who's Kouga?"

~*~*~*~

"You back so soon sis, I thought you'd go out with Eri, Ayumi, and them."

Kagome shook her head vigorously, "No, I'm going back to the Feudal Era right now."

Souta thought nothing of her behavior and just nodded, walked away, and called, "Ok," over his shoulder.

~*~*~*~

"Kikyo, what are you doing here?"

Inu-yasha approached the dead miko caustiously and with a questioning glance.

"Don't you trust me Inu-yasha?"

The half demon looked at her with an undiscernable look, "Sometimes, I mean you did try to hurt Kagome that one time."

"Does that joke of a reincarnation even matter?"

The hanyou didn't like the way this was going at all, it didn't matter who it was no one could talk down about Kagome if he was there.

"Don't talk about her."

She nodded slowly in some form of understanding, "I see then."

"What did you come here for Kikyo?"

"I want you to come with me Inu-yasha, to hell like we're meant to."

He shook his head, "Not now, I haven't finished collecting the jewel shards yet and Kagome………." His voice faltered after he said her name.

"I can't leave her."

Her laugh echoed through the trees of the forest, "Why not?"

"You wouldn't understand. I'll die when I'm ready Kikyo."

"You don't love me at all anymore, do you Inu-yasha?"

The hanyou was startled by this and took a quick step backward..

"How could you ask that Kikyo?"

"You choose a child over me?"

Her expression was utterly painful and he reached out to her, taking her into his arms.

"Kikyo"

They stayed like that for however many moments before Inu-yasha heard the dead miko's voice, muffled by his haori.

"What?"

"She's here."

Inu-yasha turned to where Kikyo was facing and came face to face with the girl who plagued his thoughts.

"Kagome" her name was uttered so softly one couldn't be sure if he had even said it but looking at her and seeing the frantic shaking of her head it didn't matter.

No, Kagome I love you. I swear not Kikyo! Please don't leave me.

He hadn't even noticed when Kikyo had left and he didn't think that Kagome noticed either.

"Don't, all I hear from you are lies." She said as she saw that his lips were trying to form words.

"I don't know where I belong anymore Inu-yasha. I don't belong in my time with my old friends and I think I know that I don't fit here."

"No Kagome-"

"I'm alone in this world Inu-yasha. I don't belong not in the world that I was made for and not in the world made for her."

But you belong in mine, Kagome. You belong with me!

"You can say you're not always thinking about her one way or another. I know that you care about her but I'm done Inu-yasha. No more!"

Kagome turned away from him, running back towards the hut.
