CHAPTER 3

Kagome ran as fast as she could towards the well, and away from Inuyasha. She felt sharp thorns of the undergrowth cut into her shins, and she tripped when her foot caught in a root. She landed on her hands and knees.

"OW OW OW!" She sat up and rummed her knee, already starting to turn purple. She sat there for a second, her mind wondering to what had just happened...

Why had he just kissed her? She wasn’t sure, but she knew it scared the shit out of her. The last time they got that close, Inuyasha was a full demon and Kagome was attempting to reconcile his human form, trapped in Kagura’s mirror, with the full demon form she was trying to convince not to rip her to shreads.

Tears welled up in her eyes as she reached the well. She had a stitch in her side from running. She fell to her knees and slumped against the well. She covered her face in her hands and cried. At that moment she felt as if a knife had been twisted into her stomach. She new she couldn’t stay here…this wasn’t her time after all.

"Why do I CARE?!" She yelled. "He'll NEVER break his promise...and I can't ask him to."

Inuyasha didn’t follow right away. He was absolutely puzzled by Kagome’s reaction, and he was getting tired trying to figure her out. He had always wanted to be closer to Kagome. And he thought that was what she wanted as well. However, he was scared after what happened with Kikyo…”NO!...Kagome would never betray you, you idiot!”

He thought furiously. He let his fingers trace his lips. He could still feel her soft, warm mouth on his. He licked his lips, and he could still taste her. “Oh…hell no!...I am NOT letting her go like this!” Inuyasha took off after her, following her scent.

Kagome sat on the ground, leaning against the well. She felt rain drops on her arm, and it began to pour. But she didn’t move. She knew Inuyasha would find her any minute. She didn’t know why she continued to sit there…maybe she wanted, NEEDED to see him...maybe she was just masochistic?

Stiffening her resolve to leave, she rose to her feet. She pulled the bottle of shards from her neck, and placed them on the lip of the well. When she looked up, Inuyasha was standing, his eyes full of questions. He was looking from her, to the bottle, and back to her.

“Kagome?” His voice was so soft she almost didn’t hear it over the wind.

“This is going to hurt.” She thought.

“Inuyasha.” She said trying to keep her voice even, but it came out in a croak. “I can’t stay here anymore…I’m sorry.” She breathed.

She sat down, and swung her legs over prepared to drop into the black void…but a she felt a strong tug on her wrist.

“Why?”

She sighed. “It’s complicated.”

“Try me.”

“Okay." She said turning to face him. "I will NOT stand by while I watch as you are dragged out of my life.” She could no longer restrain herself. She threw her arms around him, and sobbed. “What do you think that’ll do to me, Inuyasha? Huh?” She demanded.

“What do you mean…?” He looked at her, and then he looked down avoiding her gaze.
“Kikyo.” He breathed.

She nodded. He released her from the embrace, and sat on the edge of well, pulling her down next to him.

“I made a promise.”

She nodded. “I know. I shouldn’t even be here in the first place.

“What?”

“If Naraku never tricked you, you would never have been sealed to the tree, Kikyo would probably still be alive…and I…well, I would have never come through the well.” She sighed, remembering the first time she came through well. She saw Inuyasha pinned to the tree, and she thought he was so cute with his doggy ears…of course, that was before he attempted to kill her for the jewel.

Inuyasha watched as some unknown emotions played across Kagome’s face.

“So you see Inuyasha? I don’t REALLY belong here. Besides, there are only a few jewel shards to gather…I figure the ones Kouga has...ummm and then we’d have to get rest from Naraku…you don’t really need me. My job is over.”

“No.”

She looked up at him with an eyebrow raised. “No?”

“I don’t want you to go! I already told you that.” He stood.

Kagome almost laughed, in spite of herself. He could be so cute when things weren’t going his way. She drew in a shuddering breath.

“And I told you." Her voice firm. "I refuse to be here when you go.” She stood.

“Please…stay?”

“I…can’t”

“Why?”

She groaned, throwing her head back. “Because! I love you!” She forced herself to look at him. (Yes...she was definitely a masochist.)

Their gazes locked.

She swallowed hard, and nodded. “I do love you.” She repeated. “And what do you think that would do to me …when you leave?” She shook her head.
She looked from the well to Inuyasha. “I’m sorry. I know I shouldn't even be bringing this up." She looked away. "But I NEEDED you to understand..."

"What?"

"How I feel about you. I don't WANT to leave...but it would kill to see you go with her..."

"But..."

Without any warning, she pushed him as hard as she could, and jumped in the well.

He caught himself before he fell. He saw the light from the well, and realized Kagome had jumped in. “Damn her! She didn’t even give me the chance to speak! GRRRR!” He looked down, and saw the glowing bottle of jewel shards sitting on the well…and then a terrible realization came, and hit him like a ton of bricks…she had not inteded to return!

“Oh no she didn't” He thought as he jumped in the well after her.

Kagome pulled herself up out of the well, careful not to slip because she was soaking wet. She could hear thunder in the distance and realized it was storming here as well. She threw open the door of the well house, and sprinted to the house. By the time she slammed the front door and ran up the stair to her room, her clothes were clinging to her body. She reached her room, slammed the door, and leaned against it. She banged her head against it, as she realized he would come for her: She had left the jewel shards.

"SHIT! Goddammit! Can't I do anything right?!" She screamed at herself.

She didn’t look as she heard the window slide open, and feet hit the floor. Of course, she knew exactly who it was. A rush of cold air hit her face. She looked at him. His amber eyes were almost glowing in the darkened room…

“Inu…?”

He had her pinned against the door before she could finish his name. He was kissing her hard, and passionately. Very different from the kiss they shared earlier. This wasn’t an innocent kiss, it was full of longing…and need…

Inuyasha took her face in his hands, and deepened the kiss. Kagome shivered as his tongue invaded her mouth, searching for hers, and brushing the roof of her mouth.She fought with his tongue. He released her face, and moved his hands to her shoulders, and down to her breast and squeezed. Kagome moaned. She wound her arms around his neck, pulling him closer.

His hand moved from her breasts, down to her hips. He pulled her hips to his, and ground into her pelvis. She could feel the hardness against her stomach. They pulled apart when their lungs begged for oxygen. Then they were kissing again…

“KAGOME?!?!”

They stopped. Looked each other in the eye. “Oh SHIT.” Was what they thought simultaneously.
