Always there

Kagome sat on the edge of the well again.



"I hope i don't meet InuYasha..." she mumbled.



He didn't even let her finish her sentences, if he would hve done so the they would have come up with a plan to stop Kikyo by fooling her. But since he left her broken hearted and asumed that thats what she wanted he wasn't worth it. If he gave up on them that easy... She jumped down and closed her eyes, the next thing she knew she was at the bottom of the bone eaters well. She used every strength that she had to climb out of there. She took a detour to the tree where she first saw him. She layed a hand on the hole were the arrow used to be. The tears gathered in her eyes as she turned and walked against Kaedes hut. When she opened the door and entered everybody sat on the floor quiet staring in to the fire.



"Hey..." she said.



"Kagome!" Shippou screamed and jumped to her arms.



"Kagome-sama!" Sango and Miroku yelled at the same time.



InuYasha sat in the corner staring at her.



"Kaede...Here."



She gave her the little jar with the shikon shards.



"Kagome..."



"I have to..."



"Why?"



"You all know where to find the last shard...and for that you don't need me...ANY of you..."



"Kagome-chan! don't leave us!" Sango cried.



"I have to...!"



Kagomes tears ran freely.



"And i don't like long goodbyes so...Have a nice time everyone. I might visit someday".



"How..? You won't have the shikon shards?" Shippou sobed.



"We'll think of something Shippou..."



"We need you.." Miroku said.



"No. I'm just a useless copy of Kikyo...But you can always talk to her for a new Shard-detector. I'm suuuure she'll agree." she said walking out of the room.



Sango looked at Kagome as she went outside, then followed.



"Kagome-chan! where did you ever get idea from?"



She smiled weak.



"Thats what InuYasha told me on the day i were suppose to tell him my plan."



InuYasha lifted his head inside the hut and listened.



"Plan?"



"Yes...But now he'll never now. He didn't listen at all. He took me serious, and kept on cutting me off. Im sorry Sango... But i have to go."



"But Kagome-chan...even if you don't realize it...InuYasha needs you."



"No he doesn't. He showed me who he needed...and it wasn't me...It just wasn't me."



With those words she left for the bone eaters well. Sango went inside the house.



"IN-UY-AS-HA!!" she said with burning eyes.



"Keh! I heard, and i don't care..."He said and walked out of the house.



But as soon as he walked out of the house he ran after her. He caught her scent and found her on the edge of the well. He could smell her tears thats what led him there. When he landed on the ground infront of her she looked up at him. Then she looked away.



"Kagome..."



"What do you want?" she said hoarsely.



"Im....im sorry."



"What part of it? Do you even know why i'm upset? Do you know what it feels like not to be listened to?!"



"I heard parts of your conversation with Sango."



"What? so now you spy on me to?!"



"No! But...i...tell me now, what you where gonna tell me...please..?" His ambereyes begged her.



She hated to feel like this. He always argued at her, but now it was different. This time he had crossed the line. But she always loved him.



"Fine..."



She stared at the sky.



"It would have been simple...We could have fooled Kikyo that we had broken up, then you could have pretended to go to hell with her...and i don't know...somewhere on the road you could have snatched the shikon shard, i could've completed the shikon no tama, and she would have been gone forever..."



He looked at her, and with each passing moment he felt how he became more and more ashamed. When it hit him that he had broken up with her and called her all those things he felt how the pain started to build up inside of him. It was almost to much...As if that wasn't enough now she was crying because of him. He took her hand and looked her in the eyes.



"Kagome i'm sorry. I know i can be a jerk..."



She looked at him.



"Thats an understatement...This time you really stepped out of line InuYasha..."



"I realized that...But please, give me one more chance!"



She looked at him. Why should she?



"You'll only go back to her in the end."



He shook his head.



"I would never do that to you...Kikyo died 50 years ago, that girl is not her...But you are here...And i'd like to keep it that way..."



She looked into his ambereyes and saw his tears.



"Im really sorry Kagome. Please don't leave. Besides that Sango would kill me with her boomerang, or Miroku would suck me in to his Kazanaa."



"Why should i stay?"



He looked at her.



"Don't you know?, Because i need you...I-I love you dammit!"



As soon as he said those words she threw herself in his arms and cried against his fire rat robe. He lifted her up and started to walk against the others. Suddenly Kagome felt a bad aura surrounding them and out of nowhere a small knife scratched her hand. InuYasha stopped by her scream and at the smell of her blood.



"Kagome! Are you okay?!"



She nodded.



"Behind you!" she yelled.



He turned around and saw a girl levitate in the air.



"Who the hell are you?!" He snarled, placing himself infront of Kagome to protect her.



"I'm Hideaki of swords...And i'm about to slash up that girl of yours..!"



She stared at Kagome and an evil grin spread across the girls face.
