Chapter One

Waking up in the middle of the night and again being as quite as could be, not to wake the half demon sitting crossed legged in the tree. Kagome snuck out of the camp and headed towards the woods. Kagome smiled bright as she saw the only person she would really love standing there like a goddess, Her white skin glittering in the moonlight, her long onyx hair flowing behind her in the soft breeze. Kagome couldn't keep her eyes off the beauty her dirty secret from everyone.

"Kagome?" Asked a soft emotionless tone.

"Ah, Kikyou, I've missed you." Kagome ran to her arms

Taking aback by such admiration she just smiled and moved in closer smelling Kagome's lilac and lavender sent. Kagome felt Kikyou's tension finally relax and she held on tighter letting her sent fill up her senses 'Cherries and raspberries…She never smells bad.' Kagome thought

"My dearest, I hate to hide like this, I can't stand not being in your embrace anymore." Kagome whispered her eyes starting to water.

"Yes, I know Kagome, I'm deeply sorry do you remember our promise?"

Kagome looked up at her and nodded "I remember yet, I cant hide you anymore, your my everything." She looked down and the ground and pushed away from kikyou.

"Oh my Kagome, I'm sorry I cause you so much pain. I want more then anything to be with you, but we can't make this work you know what I am. Nothing but an empty shell I will die without souls of the dying…I can not make you live with someone such as I. I love you too much." Kikyou replied

Looking up at the moon which was very bright this night, she then notice one tear slip from her eye, and quickly brushed it away 'I have to do this for her sake' she thought.

"Kikyou what are you saying? Are you breaking up with me?" Kagome sobbed

"In a matter of speaking, yes, I'm deeply sorry Kagome but you deserve far much better then me." Kikyou didn't even look at her just talked emotionless trying so hard not to hold her Kagome in her arms and kiss her tears away.

Kagome broke down and fell to her knees "Oh please let me stay with you! You don't realize how much you mean to me! I never thought you would take my heart, I love you so much. Don't you remember when we first realized how we felt?"

Kikyou sighed "Kagome, it does not matter now, not anymore you need to let go of whatever we had, and move on." She said that last part through her teeth hiding her pain.

Kagome stood back up heavily with her head down "Kikyou, tell me right in my face that you don't love me, and tell me to move on."

Kikyou stood still for a minute and then turned around and looked at Kagome who's face was swollen and looked tired, She took a deep sigh, "I don't love you anymore Kagome and you need to move on." She said it as emotionless as she could muster and turned away as fast as she could and walked away.

Kagome watched her face, listened to her voice, and she kept shaking her head in bewilderment 'This can't be, she loves me why? What happened? Why can't I move? Tell her everything!' Kagome ran after her but she couldn't run fast enough and she lost her she fell to her knees and cried until she couldn't cry anymore. She sat up and washed her face in the nearest spring and went back to the camp a little before sunrise.
