Inuyasha found her without too much difficulty. Sometimes she masked herself and her scent, and he couldn’t find her. This time she was alone, and hadn’t masked herself. He watched her for a time as she stared out over the land. This Kagome was so much different than the one he had left behind at the temple. It was still hard for him to grasp that they were the same person.
That led Inuyasha to wonder what had happened in that temple with Kikyou. So many times he had replayed that night in his head, and he still didn’t understand. He had betrayed Kagome just as Miroku had. They had both left her defenseless with Kikyou. Inuyasha had blatantly ignored that when Kikyou blasted Sango the energy seemed dark, like what lingered in that place. Since they had left Kikyou had rarely used her powers, and when she did they always seemed tainted. Inuyasha wasn’t sure what it all meant, or why Kagome was now traveling with his bastard half-brother. He didn’t understand why Kagome smelled different yet the same, or why Sesshomaru had implied that Kikyou should know.
Kagome rarely spoke now, and other than the time she sat him, never to him. Even Miroku she seldom spoke to. Only Sango, Shippou, and Rin seemed to have that privilege anymore. He had seen her speak with even Sesshomaru, and was told she had talked to Kikyou. He wondered how much of what the older miko said he could trust anymore.
When he had asked to mate her, she had refused. Now she seemed desperate for it, but Inuyasha wasn’t sure anymore. The first time he had lain with her he knew she wasn’t innocent. Somehow it made his insides crawl, as if he knew who had taken her before.
Inuyasha cast those thoughts away, and focused on Kagome. He dropped out of the tree, and approached her. “Kagome?” She didn’t react, but he knew she was listening; it was at least a start. “Can we talk?”
Kagome didn’t answer right away. “About what Inuyasha?” She finally asked.
“I’d like to know what happened.” His ears were plastered to his head as thoughts of that night filled his mind.
“Kikyou took her soul from me.” Kagome answered bluntly in a flat voice.
Inuyasha heard her tone, and bowed his head. “How are you still alive then?”
Kagome rose, and turned on the hanyou. Her anger was etched deep in her eyes, and her aura. “Why does it matter? Because you left me to die?” She drew in a breath, and Inuyasha braced for a sit. He knew it would feel good because he fully deserved it. “I am alive, and it concerns none of you who left me to die!” She took another breath, “Look at me Inuyasha.” She spat his name, and then waited till the hanyou looked up at her. “I will never forget what happened that night, nor will I forgive those that turned their backs on me.”
“Does that mean that we can’t be friends anymore?” His ears were plastered to his skull, and his eyes were down again.
“Be wary, Inuyasha, for you tread dangerously.” Kagome walked away. The hurt was whelming up in her again. When would it end?

Inuyasha watched as she left the safety of the camp, and walked into the woods. She did that a lot since they had joined up. Amber eyes turned to the stoic demon lord. He didn’t follow her for once, and Inuyasha did.
She didn’t go far. He dropped down behind her, and tried to tame himself. His demon was exalting in the chase, and wanted to bed her. He knew she wouldn’t want that, still his hands reached out of their accord. They spun her around, and crushed her lithe body to his. She smelled so much better now. Inuyasha wasn’t thinking as he pressed his lips to hers.
His demon was loving this, and he had to admit that so was he. Rather than Kagome melting into him as he expected she was rigid. He growled as he kept his lips pressed to hers, and then he was flying through the air. He slammed into a tree hard. He looked up to see Kagome glaring at him.
“Never again will you touch me.” Her voice was low and deadly. His demon lunged at its cage wanting to quell this bitch, and teach her who the alpha was. “I will not forgive you Inuyasha, and know that, that night you made your choice, and it is final. I am yours no longer, and if you can’t obey I will kill you.”
Inuyasha leapt to his feet intent on making her submit to him. “You don’t get to choose.”
Kagome let a smile grace her lips. “No I didn’t, but you did.” She threw up a barrier, holding him back from her. He continued to swipe at it. “Inuyasha I won’t hesitate to hurt you to make you stop.”
Inuyasha let out a barking laugh. “You? A weak little wench, think you could hurt me?” He laughed again, but it was cut short by him being thrown into a tree again.
“Do. Not. Underestimate. Me! Hanyou.” Kagome ground out. She hit him with a blast of pure holy energy, and then disappeared into the woods.
Inuyasha sobered in the pain. His demon had got the best of him, but what hurt the most was hearing Kagome- his Kagome- call him a hanyou instead of by name. He knew from the last blast she could kill him whenever she wanted, and he had a feeling that she would do it too. The anger in her eyes for him was something he would never forget.

Kagome was alone, and crying. She hated traveling with them. Every time she looked at any of their faces she was reminded of what they had done. She wished it had never happened. She didn’t want to remember anymore what that night entailed, but it was vivid in her mind.
“Crying over it won’t help.”
“No, but it helps me to cope.” Kagome replied. “My mom once told me it takes a strong person to cry.”
“Perhaps, but it takes an even stronger one to move on.”
Kagome looked over her shoulder at the lord. “Perhaps,” she conceded.
“You will have to confront them, and make it known what happened if you ever wish to fully heal.”
“There is no other way, is there?”
“No.” Sesshomaru could tell Kagome wanted to drop the subject, but pushed it. “Will you forgive them?”
Kagome clenched her hand into a fist. “No, they aren’t worthy of my forgiveness this time.”
Sesshomaru went to her, and opened her fist. Kagome looked down in wonder as he exposed the cuts she had given herself. She looked up to him. “Will you seek vengeance then?” Kagome nodded. “What of the slayer’s love for the monk?”
Kagome looked away. “He I won’t seek retribution from.”
“How is it wise to seek it from only some of those who wronged you?”
Kagome clenched her jaw, but asked, “Is it more fair, than, to let them all go from their trespasses?”
“That isn’t a question for me to answer.”
Kagome looked at him again with tears filling her eyes again. “They left me to die there at that clay bitch’s hands! How can I just let that go without consequence?! And now they travel with her because they saw her as the one they needed to defeat Naraku! They counted me as too weak!”
“Once, a miko told me that two wrongs don’t make a right. She also told me that destiny wasn’t something that could be bypassed. She understood more of life than any other I have known before. She refused to try to forsake her destiny, but embraced it no matter where it led her.”
“That miko, she died in a temple over a year ago.” Kagome said; her anger dissipated to be replaced by the hurt.
“Perhaps,” Sesshomaru’s voice was a whisper dancing in her ears, “But perhaps she isn’t dead. More likely she was just freed, and is still learning how to be her, and only her.”
Kagome looked into Sesshomaru’s molten eyes. He was so close she would just have to lean forward to kiss him, but she remained frozen. She couldn’t let someone in yet, and she wasn’t sure that was even what Sesshomaru wanted. His words still rang through her soul and her heart, ‘her, only her.’ How much she wanted that to be true. She wanted to still be the Kagome she was before, minus the shadow that clung to her. “Do you suggest that miko was right, and this is all just destiny playing out? Do you think… do you think she is still alive?”
Sesshomaru was gone, but his answer drifted to her on the breeze, “Yes.”
