The Switch

Chapter 12 END

Kagomewe need to talk" Inuyasha said nervously. Kagome sighed and stood up. Kagome knew she wouldn't be able to avoid this conversation, it

was inevitable. She was sure this conversation would be Inuyasha telling her she that she should not come with him anymore because she killed his first and only love, even though earlier he said he didn't hate her, she was positive he was lying because she was crying then. Kagome's shoulders slumped,

as she walked in front of him into a more concealed part of the forest. "Well you know we had to talk about this sooner or later"

Kagome took a deep breath and turned to face Inuyasha.

'Well here goes nothing' she thought and opened her mouth to apologize. She didn't get the chance to because Inuyasha had already started talking.

"Kagome, There's something I need to tell you" Kagome winced

'Here it goesthe pain, the anger and the 'you stupid shard detector, don't ever come back!' Kagome bit her lip as if to silence her thoughts.

"When I was with Kikyou"He noticed Kagome choking up again

'Great, good job, Inuyasha, how about making her cry a bit more, huh?' The sarcastic voice in his head taunted him.

"I wasn't actually with Kikyou, she found me. I...I wasn't-"

"I...don't believe you" Kagome could feel her hands trembling slightly.

"Wh-what?" Inuyasha was in shock.

"You heard me, I don't believe that you weren't looking for her, and even if you didn't find her, somehow, you probably followed her scent without even knowing!"

Forgetting everything she regretted and her apology, her anger and pride took over, a bit like Inuyasha

"You're forgetting I'm a human now, I can't smell!" He couldn't believe how ridiculous she was being, if he told her something, she should trust him, right?

"You still have some of you're demon senses, and since you were probably thinking about her after Sango left, you led yourself right to her!" She was blinded by her anger, and jealousy all of the deep hurt feelings she had kept in, were coming up to the surface and exploding out of her mouth. Inuyasha grabbed her hands.

"Kagome, stop being like this, I'm telling you I was wandering around, and she found me and started saying all this shit about me having to go to Hell with her, and then she attacked me!" Since she was bigger than him now, she was able to wretch her hands from his tight grip. She turned her face away from his.

"I wasn't thinking about Kikyou, I was thinking aboutyou." She turned her head towards him, and stared down at him with piercing amber eyes. No wonder everyone was scared of Inuyasha whenever he stared down at them, it made him more appreciative of his uncommon feature.

"How about all the times you called me 'just a shard detector?' Huh? How about then?" He looked at Kagome directly in the eyes, and even though they were his own eyes he could see the hurt that was in them, from her own life, and the hurt he had caused her over the months they spent traveling together. He knew a simple apology wouldn't help him.

"KagomeI'm really sorry I called you all those names. I wasn't really trying to hurt you, as it was to push you away so I could convince myself that I didn't love you." He looked at the ground and snorted a bit. "It didn't really work out." Kagome stared at him with an expressionless face. He couldn't

even guess what she was thinking. He continued to stare at the ground.

'I knew it, Sango was wrong and Kikyou was right, she doesn't love me.' He thought furiously.
