Because She Choose by Sesshoumarusmate

Crushed

Chap. 1 - Crushed.

It was a warm day out. The wind was blowing gently through the skies. It was partly cloudy. The forest was singing with life. Some were of death. For the Inu-Tachi, it's home. The taijia was sitting by the fire polishing her weapon. The houshi was sitting in a lotus position, meditating, or so it seems. The hanyou was, as always, sitting on a high tree branch overlooking the area. The neko and the kitsune kids was playing around like they always do.

However....there is one more that resides there. She was a unique and upfront person. Fiery and full of spirit. Not afraid to say what's on her mind. She was the one that makes the suggestions over the hanyou's. She's also the one that punish the said hanyou if he get out of line or, as always, let's his mouth get into trouble.

Her name is Kagome Higurashi. A girl from 500 years into the future. She travels through a well in a clearing of Inuyasha's forest. She was at a nearyby hot springs putting on her clothes after a fresh bath for the day. She puts her dirty clothes in a sack and puts everything in her bag where her bathing supplies are. After doing so, she went back to camp where her friends awaits her.

Everyone was minding their own buisness as ususal. She puts her things into her large yellow backpack. She looks up and notices her hanyou friend. She loved him, but she was wondering how much does he love her. Or does he love the undead miko, Kikyou more. She will find out soon enough.

"Inuyasha!" she called.

"What?!"

"Can you go and bring us some meat for dinner to go with the ramen?"

"Feh" was all he said before leaping off into the forest.

"I wish he was a bit nicer" she sighed.

"Well, you can't do anything about that" the taijiya said.

"Yeah I know". She went to go sit down and prepare the ramen.

"Inuyasha has been rather quiet lately" the houshi says looking into the fire.

"Yes, he has, and a bit more distant". Samgo was stroking the fire with a stick.

"What do you think it means Sango?". The girl didn't want reality to smack her in the face.

With a concern look the slayer turned to her friend. "It might be that Inuyasha....."

"Inuyasha, what?' the said hanyou interrupted walking from the line of trees, straightening his clothes. A skinned rabbit in his hands. He tosses it to Samgo who fixed it on the fire.

"Oh, um....nothing actually".

"Feh". The hanyou leaped up into the tree and sat on a branch and watched the moon rise.

Shippo ran and jumped on Kagome's shoulder and whispers, "Hey Kagome, Inuyasha smells like Kikyou".

"Ki-kyo". It soon hit her of what he was she dreaded. He was still sleeping with her. She left to go to bed early. Sango looked at her.

"Kagome?"

"Yes, Sango?"

"Aren't you going to eat?"

"I'm not hungry". With that said she turned over and closed her eyes.

Sango wasn't stupid, she knows her friend. She's hurt yet again because Inuyasha went out to be with Kikyou. It doesn't take 2 hours to fish out a rabbit. Kami, was he stupid? She also knows that Kagome isn't sleeping either. She was tired of it and wants answers. She got up and marched over to the tree, Miroku and Shippou looking.

"Inuyasha you get down here, now".

"What the fuck for?!"

"I want to talk to you!"

"Feh". He relunctantly jumped down and leaned on the tree. "What?"

"Why you keep hurting Kagome like this?"

"What? Her? I ain't hurting nobody".

"You keep running your ass to Kikyou!"

"So what if I see her every now and then".

"YOU SEE HER EVERY DAMN DAY!" This made the group start a bit at her yelling. "Do you have any feelings for Kagome?!"

"I..."

"And don't give me any of those stupid ass excuses either, mutt".

"I don't want to discuss it ok?!"

"Tell the truth Inuyasha.......You don't love Kagome, do you?"

"I..." Inuyasha really didn't want to tell them now, but the pressure Sango gave him made him cave in, they was going to find out anyway. "I don't...Sango...never did. She's just a friend.....I've made Kikyou my mate. I want to spend as much time with her as I can before she finally passes.....and....I don't want to miss out......"

"You son of a bitch! How could you after everything she went through to save your ass huh? How many times aren't you going to stop stalling and tell her the truth? You wasn't even going to tell her, wheren't you?" Miroku and Shippou was shocked. Sango was furious, but what comes out of Inuyasha's mouth next made her hit him.

"She will also be joining the group to help with the shards. She's my mate and that's final!" -BAM- A huge punch to the jaw by the furious slayer.

"I wont stay in this group one day with that bitch!"

"Watch your mouth wench!"

"Or what? You'll kill me? Hurt Kagome more that you already have?!"

"Shut up Sango! Now!"

"You're not my FATHER!"

"But I'm your leader and what I says, goes!".

"Fuck you!"

"Shut it!"

"SHUUT UUUPPP!!!" they fail to see that Kagome has gotten up and put everything away and had her backpack on. They looked at her with stunned faces. Her face as well as her voice, her eyes, broken. "I heard....everything". She turns to leave. "Kagome, where are you going?" Shippou looked at her direction from Miroku's shoulder. "Why stay? Kikyou willl come. He's mated to her. He doesn't care what happens to me anymore. I love him, and gave him a piece of my heart only to have it crushed. How can I love a man who never loved me back? How Sango? And now the truth is out. He rather be with that clay-potted bitch than me. She can't sense the jewel shards anymore, but still". She turns to Inuyasha, tears never stopped falling. "You have no idea what I'm feeling inside. You have no clue as to the pain that I'm feeling. You finally got what you wanted Inuyasha. I'm....I'm happy for yuu". She sniffs and wipes her tears, though fail to stop them from falling. "I just want to let you know, whatever happens to me....don't come after me...." Everyone gasps.

"Kagome...." Sango spoke softly, only to be stopped by Kagome's shaken head.

"No Sango. It's alright. It's ok." She turns back to Inuyasha. "I want you to be happy. That's all I wanted ever since then. So whatever happens to me from this day forward, let it be, even if I fall to slavery or death....let it be....if I die today....let it be....let me go". The last words were softer as she turns and walks way...from everything.

"Kagome let me go with you" Shippou says tearing up on Miroku's shoulder.

"No Shippou. My heart is crushed, it's hurting, it's gone. I don't want you to die with me. Sango and Miroku will take good care of you for me". She says all this while walking, she left into the trees. Leaving a very guilt stricken hanyou watching her go. Little did they know....they had an audience.

Golden orbs settle on the yound miko. Depression, hurt, anger, rejection, sadness, all swirled in her scent. He'd been hiding his aura so no one could sense him. He quietly stalks the miko for awhile until he came near a clearing. His long silvery hair sways gently as he walks. He watches her as she sits under a tree hugging her knees to her chest. He releases his aura. When he sees her head come up he gave a light smirk as to looking in his direction. He walks out of the line of tree to let her see in her full view.. She was so distraught..so hurt...so much in pain that she could only listen to what he had told her. Oh he has plans for her. He just won't tell her....yet.

"You will come with me, miko".

The only thing she did was stand up and look into his eyes and say soflty, "I'm ready".

Whoa. The hurt she is feeling right now. Now Sesshoumaru has her. What will happen now? Will Sesshoumaru get what he wants? Will Inuyasha go after her and apologize? Stay tuned. R*R.
