Escape

Disclaimer- I own nothing that has to do with Inuyasha.

Summary: When Kagome catches Inuyasha with Kikyo again, she plans on returning home, but who doesn't want her to leave?

"Kikyo!"

The beautiful miko turned to face her half demon love. "Yes, Inuyasha?"

The silver haired half demon stepped forward, wrapping his arms around the miko. "Be careful, okay? I don't want Naraku to get the best of you."

Kikyo smiled sweetly. "Don't worry, Inuyasha…I've reserved that for you."

"Why can't you stay with me? We can both try to kill Naraku on our own."

"Well, I could if you'd get rid of that girl." Kikyo started to play with one of his locks.

"Sorry, Kikyo…I'm not getting rid of Kagome…"

Inuyasha arrived at Kaede's hut.

"Inuyasha, why are ye so down?"

"She's decided to join us…but I would have to get rid of Kagome."

Shippo, Sango, and Miroku gasped. "WHAT?"

"Are you out of your mind, Inuyasha? You can't just 'get rid' of Kagome…she's one of us!" Sango objected.

"Yes, and she's also one of our friends!" Shippo added.

"Who said I was going to do it? Idiots!"

"So are you leaving with Lady Kikyo for the rest of the night?" Miroku asked.

"Yeah…Kagome said she'd be back tomorrow." Inuyasha stepped outside.

"Sango, I'll be back soon." He said to Sango after making sure Inuyasha was out of sight. He stepped outside as well.

"Where are you going?"

"I'm going to knock some sense into Inuyasha. Kikyo wants him to leave Kagome…but if he doesn't now, he will most likely choose to after she's been with him.

Kagome arrived outside the well only to find the pitch black sky around her. "The moon's not even out…it's so cloudy."

She dug in her pocket and pulled out little pieces on paper. "I hope Inuyasha will like these pictures…I told him that I'd show him pictures of me…at prom." Kagome smiled to herself. She flipped one of the pictures over and read the back. "I only wish I could have gone with you."

Kagome perked up when she heard noises coming from over by the sacred tree.

"Hello?" She started walking towards the sounds. "Inuyasha?" She called noticing his voice mixed up in the sounds. There was giggling, then the sounds faded. "Huh? What's going…" Kagome arrived by the sacred tree only to find Kikyo in Inuyasha's arms. They both had closed eyes, but their lips were locked.

Tears sprang to Kagome's eyes, but she couldn't run. She wanted to, but her feet were glued to the ground. Instead, she fell to her knees, holding her stomach. Kagome gasped when she noticed Inuyasha looking at her. She gave him an angry scowl, then turned and ran off, leaving the pictures she was holding behind.

"Well, nice going Inuyasha…she most likely isn't coming back." Miroku said angrily as the four of them sat in Kaede's hut.

Inuyasha looked at the ground. "Yeah…"

"Well, go get her!" Shippo yelled.

"He can't Shippo, he doesn't want Kagome to come back if she's mad at him." Sango said gently. Miroku stood.

"And where are you going?" Inuyasha asked.

"To set things straight." Miroku left the hut.

Here's how it goes, you and me, up and down at this time
We'll get right, where to fight
Cause love is something you can't shake
When it breaks
All it takes is some trying

Miroku sped up his pace. He wanted to get to Kagome before she left. He was far from the well but was praying he'd make it in time.

"He doesn't deserve her! All he does is hurt her…"

If you feel like leaving

"I could be good to her"

I'm not gonna make you stay

"I would be good to her!"

Soon you'll be finding
You can run, you can hide
But you can't escape my love

You can run, you can hide

But you can't escape my love

Miroku arrived at the well, but Kagome wasn't there. "Damn!" He pounded his fist on the wood. "She…she's gone…I got here too late." He fell down to his knees, with his arms up on the well. "I never got to…tell her either…"

So if you go
You should know
It's hard to just forget the past to pass
It was good, it was bad but it was real
And that's all you get in the end of the matter

"Tell me what?" Kagome stepped into the clearing by Miroku. He gasped and looked up at her beautiful face, her glistering eyes. She looked so beautiful standing there, in her pink dress.

Here's how it goes
All it takes is some trying
You can run, you can hide
But you can't escape my love

He stood up and smiled at her. "That you shouldn't leave."

"Oh, and why not?" Kagome frowned and put her hands on her hips.

"Because…" He rested a hand on her tear-soaked cheek. "There are others here who care about you…"

"I know…but I don't want to stay…not with Inuyasha around." She said climbing into the well.

"Stop!" Miroku grabbed her hand. "Inuyasha said he's sorry. He's the one who sent me to come and get you...he couldn't come himself because he didn't want to see your lonely, sad face."

Kagome looked up at him smiling. "Really?"

Miroku nodded. "Really."

Kagome used Miroku's hand to climb out of the well with.

Kagome blushed nervously. "Well, thanks Miroku." She stood up on her tip toes and kissed him on the cheek. Miroku sighed and watched as Kagome made her way back to Inuyasha…back to the hound that would break her heart again.

"Well, if that happens again…I'll be here to comfort her."

He passed the sacred tree and noticed the pictures lying on the ground.

"There is always next time." He sighed looking at his beautiful damsel in her beautiful gown in the pictures and tucking them in his robe.
