Hurt by Him, Found by You

Kagome couldn't believe it.

He promised her…Inuyasha promised her that he would never go to Kikyo ever again. He promised to love her, not Kikyo. He promised that he won't betray her.

Kagome's tears strolled down her cheeks, watching as they continued kissing each other.

'All this time…the only one in your heart in Kikyo…' she stepped back from the disgusting scene.

Kagome turned around and ran…ran from the heartache, the brokenness, the hurt….especially from Inuyasha. She felt like her heart shattered into pieces that could never be mended again.

Kagome ran until her bones ache and her breathing was short and heavy. It started to rain. She finally collapsed under a tree. Her face was covered in tears. It rained harder. Kagome wiped them away and sat up slowly.

"He doesn't deserve it…he never did…" she sobbed quietly and leaned on the trunk of the tree.

She hugged her knees and shook her head. The rain poured on her immensely.

"You said you loved me, too…I really thought you meant it…that look in your eyes, how you said those words so lovingly to me…it all seemed so real…but…it was just all an act…you felt pity for me. That's all it was…you felt sorry for me…that's why you lied to me…but the one you really love…will always be Kikyo…" Kagome's eyes closed slowly.

"I can never really have you…can I, Inuyasha?" she whispered and slowly drifted to sleep.

Sesshomaru's eyes gazed at her on the floor.

'This is the miko whom travels with my brother…' he thought and knelt down to her.

Sesshomaru tilted her head a little to see her face.

"So it is her…what is she doing here? And especially in this weather…" he murmured, while the rain was pouring on both of them.

Sesshomaru slowly lifted her up and carried her.

'I suppose she could be a good tutor for Rin…' he thought and dashed back to his camp.

Rin yawned and paced back and forth in the cave.

"Where did Sesshomaru sama go? It's so long…" she sighed and plopped down by Ah Un.

Jaken growled slightly in annoyance at her whining. A sudden wind blew past them.

"Eh?" Rin and Jaken blinked and turned to see Sesshomaru setting Kagome down gently on the ground.

Jaken gaped. "Sesshomaru Sama! Isn't that the human wench that travels along with your brother?" he exclaimed.

Sesshomaru slightly nodded.

"Eeeeh? It's Kagome onee chan! Why'd you take her here?" Rin smiled and looked at Kagome.

"I saw her lying outside in the rain…" Sesshomaru replied.

"Jaken, take care of this human," he demanded and walked away.

"Yes, Sesshomaru Sama!" Jaken bowed and ran to Kagome. Jaken stared at Kagome and narrowed his eyes.

"Is she ok?" Rin glanced at Kagome.

"Hmm....she seems fine…just wet from the rain…I suppose all we need is to keep her warm…" Jaken pulled out some blankets from a small bag near Ah Un and placed it over Kagome.

He pulled it up to her shoulders and sighed. "She'll probably be awake in the morning tomorrow," Jaken yawned.

He walked to Ah Un and snuggled beside the dragon's leg.

Rin stared at Kagome and smiled slightly. "I hope she can stay for a while with us…" she giggled and hopped over to Ah Un.

Kagome's eyes fluttered open.

She gasped when she saw Rin's face. "E…eh?...where…where am I?" she blinked.

Rin smiled. "Kagome onee chan is awake!" she replied happily.

"Rin…? What…what happened to me?" Kagome looked around and sat up.

She saw Jaken and Ah Un. 'This is…' she looked back at Rin.

"Sesshomaru sama brought you here last night! He said you were laying outside in the rain," Rin smiled at her.

'That's right…last night…' Kagome's mind flashed back to Inuyasha and Kikyo.

Then her eyes widened.

"Wait…Sesshomaru brought me here???" she blinked.

Rin nodded.

'I thought he hated humans…why would he help me…?' Kagome thought and looked down. "Anyways…I…I better get going…" she replied and got up.

Her head felt dizzy. Kagome's eyes blurred. She fell forward, but before she hit the ground, someone caught her.

Kagome's eyes fluttered and looked up.

She almost shrieked when she saw Sesshomaru.

He gently set her down again.

"You're still sick from the rain..." Sesshomaru stated shortly.

"Yes! Kagome onee chan can travel with us!" Rin hopped around.

"Eh? Oh, I can't…I have to get going…and besides…why…did you even take me here for shelter? I thought you hated humans…" Kagome avoided his gaze.

"Hn. I thought you looked familiar…you're that wench that travels with my brother, are you not?" Sesshomaru asked.

"Wench?! You have no right to call me that! I'm going!" Kagome shouted in his face and got up again.

Sesshomaru glared coldly at her. "Suit yourself…I never said you couldn't go…" he replied and walked to Ah Un.

Kagome glared at him and stomped out the cave.

Rin ran to her and tugged at her shirt. "You're not staying, Kagome onee chan?" she looked at Kagome sadly with puppy eyes.

'Oh…don't do this to me…' Kagome sighed.

"Rin…I have to go back to my own group," she replied softly.

"…but…but I still want Kagome onee chan to stay and play with me!" Rin's eyes started to tear up.

"Ah! Don't cry, don't cry!" Kagome panicked.

"Rin," Sesshomaru replied sternly. "Let her go. She doesn't belong here with us…" his eyes averted to Kagome as Rin obeyed and stepped back slowly.

"Let me warn you, though, human…I can smell the other miko's scent along with them," Sesshomaru replied.

Kagome's eyes widened. 'Other miko…he doesn't mean…Kikyo, right…?' Kagome looked away sadly.

"…you don't mean…Kikyo…do you?"

Sesshomaru nodded slightly.

Kagome sighed and fell to the ground. She closed her eyes tightly to prevent the tears from coming.

Sesshomaru stared at her silently. 'Human emotions…love and such…this is why they are so weak…she's about to cry. What a weak girl,' Sesshomaru smirked.

He was taken by surprise when Kagome started laughing instead of crying.

"I can't cry…he isn't worth it anymore…I told myself he was never worth it…so why should I go back? I shouldn't go back to him…I don't want to see him together with her…I don't want my heart to break even more than it already has…" she forced a smile.

Her eyes slowly averted to Rin.

"Rin…do you really want me to stay?" Kagome asked quietly.

Rin grinned. "Are you going to stay then?"

Kagome nodded.

Rin laughed and hugged Kagome tightly.

"Sesshomaru Sama! Kagome onee chan is going to travel with us!" Rin hopped to him.

Kagome got up and walked to him. She stared at him for a moment and then bowed.

"Please. Whatever it takes…I'll do whatever you want…just please…I…I want to travel with you guys from now on…" Kagome replied respectfully.

Sesshomaru stayed quiet and glared at her.

"I don't care what you do…but if you annoy me…" his eyes glinted murderously.

Kagome didn't dare look into his eyes.

"…I won't hesitate to kill you, wench…" Sesshomaru replied coldly.

"Ah…arigato!" Kagome smiled happily.

Sesshomaru turned around and kicked Jaken. "AH! What happened?!" Jaken woke up immediately and looked around.

"Let's go," Sesshomaru ordered and walked ahead.

"Ah…hai!" Jaken quickly grabbed his staff and dragged along Ah Un.

He looked back at Rin. Jaken blinked when he saw Kagome.

"EH?! What are you still doing here?" he exclaimed.

"Well, I'll be traveling with you from now on!" Kagome smiled.

Silence filled the air.

Jaken blinked once.

Twice.

Three times.
