fight and at the end. Why all of a sudden Kagome's change of heart? Inuyasha stopped. None of the others, except Kagome, noticed it, since he was the last one. But Kagome said nothing, she didn't even look at him. It was all right with her that she finally had some peace from Inuyasha for a while.Inuyasha turned and went to the fountain. He sat down on one of the trees that weren't in the very front row. ’What's wrong with her? Why is she suddenly making such a fuss? .. ’Then he remembered the second meeting with Kikyo. Apparently Kagome had seen her but not heard what he had said. Inuyasha looked sadly at the fountain. He wondered how to tell Kagome that she had been wrong, that he had said goodbye to Kikyo forever. Inuyasha was deeply shaken. It was his fault that Kagome was acting like this, so he had to fix it too. So he tried to find a solution, but he could hardly get a clear thought, Kagome’s behavior took him too much.
After a while, he made his way back - without having found a solution. He went to his hut and spent the rest of the day there. Kagome did the same, but she didn't know.Neither Kagome nor Inuyasha talked much for a while, let alone laughing. Kagome stayed in her hut most of the time, while Inuyasha retired to the forest, feeling uncomfortable in the company of the others.
Inuyasha was just coming out of the forest and was on the way to his hut when he ran into Sango. He wanted to walk past her, but she held him back. “You finally owe me an answer now. What's the matter with you and Kagome all of a sudden? “Sango looked impatiently at Inuyasha. "Oh nothing .." He was saddened. After all, that's how Kagome behaved because of him. Inuyasha and Kagome both suffered just because he made a mistake. "I do not believe you. Come on, let's talk about it in peace. “Sango dragged Inuyasha into her hut. "So. Now finally say what's going on. “Sango looked at Inuyasha expectantly and impatiently. He began quietly and slowly to tell one after the other. “It all started with the fact that a few days ago I had retired to the forest to reflect.Then came Kagome. We didn't get around to talking much because after a few minutes we were attacked by a small horde of demons. Neither of us was paying attention, and Kagome was injured .. now that she was incapacitated, I protected her. "Sango giggled, but when she noticed Inuyasha’s look, she stopped immediately. He was a little uncomfortable having to talk about it, but he couldn't get around it. His look told Sango that he was desperate, scared, and worried. “When I had finished off all the demons, we started on our way back. After a few minutes, it occurred to Kagome that she had left her bow lying around. She went back to get him while I went on. At some point I accidentally ran into Kikyo. “He paused for a moment. Sango looked at him interested, surprised and also frightened. “Go on, tell me everything. “She tried to encourage him. Inuyasha went on in a shaky voice.“Then Kagome joined them. She seemed to have hidden at first, but then came out and ran away a few seconds later. At first I stood there perplexed, but then decided to follow Kagome .. and leave Kikyo behind. So I ran after. When I found Kagome, the poison must have already worked because she was lying on the floor and collapsed shortly after I found her. I ran here with her in my arms and brought her to Kaede. You know the rest yourself .. ”Sango nodded. "Now the part why Kagome behaves this way ... I had met with Kikyo again today to tell her that I had finally decided on Kagome. But Kagome must have watched us again even then. She didn't seem to hear me telling Kikyo that it was goodbye forever. I don't want to lose Kagome at any cost! I don't want her to go away forever ... to her era ... ”Inuyasha ran a single tear of sadness down his face.He looked down on the floor, shocked. Sango frowned. “I can understand you very well, Inuyasha. And now Kagome thinks you have betrayed her, just fooled her into something. Obviously, she misjudges the situation completely. And yet you don't give up on convincing her of the opposite and thus winning her back over to you, do you? “Sango smiled. Inuyasha looked away, embarrassed. “You'd better talk to her right away. She is in her hut if I'm not mistaken. “Sango said confidently. Inuyasha just nodded and stood up.
Inuyasha opened the door. Kagome sat with his knees drawn up, arms wrapped around them, against the wall by the door. She didn't even look up when Inuyasha entered the hut. Carefully he closed the door again and gave Sango one last, questioning look. Sango nodded. He leaned against the wall next to Kagome, but didn't sit down. "Kagome ..? I have to talk to you ... “Inuyasha began with a shaky voice.Kagome listened, but didn’t show anything. "Well ... you misunderstood the situation today ..." - "Oh, did I? "Replied Kagome snuggly, but there was also a trace of anger and sadness. "Yes you did. I just told Kikyo that it means goodbye forever for you and me, because I have finally decided in favor of you, Kagome. "Kagome winced a little, whether it was because of the word’ Kikyo ’or that Inuyasha said he had finally decided on her, she couldn't say. “But it didn't look like that. “Kagome denied everything. “Why don't you believe me, Kagome? Isn't it enough that I left Kikyo because of you? Isn't it enough for you that I chose YOU ?! “Inuyasha was desperate. Kagome got up and went out. She didn't have to turn around to know that Inuyasha was following her. “You don't know how much it hurts.You cannot put yourself in my shoes. "Kagome whispered while she kept walking. “That may be true, but I still take all the blame on myself. I made a mistake, I can see that. Still, we don't both have to suffer because of it! Yes, not only you suffer from it, Kagome! I'm sorry the whole situation got so out of hand. And it affects me as much as it does you. I was and still am afraid of losing you forever, believe it or not. “Kagome stopped. She would never have expected such an answer from Inuyasha. Not from the Inuyasha she knew - and loved. “Kagome, please finally believe me! He pleaded with her. Repressed memories came up in Kagome, the pain, the sadness and the tears. Inuyasha noticed this and wanted to take Kagome in his arms, but she pushed him away and ran away. Tears glittered in the air and on Kagome’s cheeks.Inuyasha was left, dejected, empty and desperate. Sadly, he went to the others. He wanted to tell them that Kagome had run away because of him and still didn't believe him. He also had to tell them something important: He would now move on alone, go his own way, without having anyone in tow, whom he would ultimately only chase away again. He didn't want to do any more damage than he had already done. Maybe Kagome would come back when he was gone. But first he had to look for - and find - Kagome. Inuyasha hurried back to join the rest of the group. They were in one of the huts near Kaede. Inuyasha burst in, didn't hesitate, and explained what was going on. Immediately they split up.
Some time later they met, as agreed. Only Inuyasha was nowhere to be seen. "Hopefully he found Kagome .." said Sango. They had been waiting for Inuyasha for almost two hours now.“Or something happened. “Shippo imagined the most impossible things. “Don't be so silly, Shippo. You know Inuyasha is very good at taking care of herself. “Replied Miroku energetically. “We should be more concerned about Kagome. “Everyone agreed with Kaede.
While everyone was sitting comfortably in the hut and talking whatever came to mind, Inuyasha searched every corner of the area for Kagome. However unsuccessful. Exhausted, he started back again. Halfway through, he ran into Kouga. "What's going on, boy dog? “Kouga had noticed that Inuyasha was at the end of his tether. “Did we lose a fight? He asked spitefully. "No we have not. “Inuyasha replied snuggly. "Rather? “Kouga didn't give up. "I'm looking for Kagome .. She ran away ..." Kouga was amused. "What you do not say. She should have done that much earlier, to run away from you, dog boy!“Inuyasha was about to pounce on him. "Damn it, shut up! What do you know?! “Inuyasha snapped at the wolf. “But it doesn't matter. I can help you, even if I hate to do it, but after all, this is about the welfare of Kagome. “Kouga got more serious again. "And how do you want to do that? “Inuyasha looked at him suspiciously. "Very easily. I saw her. “Kouga felt very big having to help Inuyasha. "You have something? “Called Inuyasha. “Yes, quite right. I saw Kagome. She ran in that direction. I didn't recognize her at first, but now that you mention it, I can confirm that it was her. “Kouga pointed in the direction. Inuyasha turned on his heel and ran as fast as he could in the direction indicated. Kouga looked after him, puzzled, but then set off again on her own.
Inuyasha ran from every corner of the area again.And again unsuccessfully. In the meantime it was already dark and he was on his way back because he could hardly see anything and he was completely exhausted. A while later, completely exhausted, he arrived at the others. "Did you find her? “Shippo asked while Inuyasha sat down. Inuyasha just shook her head slightly. “It would be best if you lie down and sleep now if you want to continue looking tomorrow. You seem very tired. “Inuyasha took Sango's advice without comment, said goodbye and went to his hut. He fell asleep quickly, but it was a restless sleep that he fell into. Nightmares plagued him and he often woke up drenched in sweat.
Sometime late at night, he woke up again. Nothing moved outside. He sat up and looked out the window. After a few minutes, in which he had thought about what to do, he got up and left the hut.Inuyasha was fed up with lying around idly or tormenting himself with his nightmares. Despite the darkness, the
