Exciting huh?

Told ya it'd get better. Now let's see what happens...uh oh...wait a sec...

Isn't Kagome on her way home right now??

This can't be good...

Is it so wrong for me to love you

After all that i've been through

I deserve a little sin

I choose my sin as loving you...

**I POV**

"What...What are you doing here?" I asked in the shakiest voice I'd ever heard come out of me.

She smiled, and that frankly scared the shit out of me.

"I could ask you the very same question, Inuyasha."

She walked over to me slowly, languidly. The look in her eyes was undecipherable. I just stared as she sat down next to me.

"It's been a long time hasn't it? I thought I would never get to see your sweet face again, Inuyasha. You don't know how happy I am."

I still stared, not really sure of how I should react to what she was saying.

"Well aren't you going to tell me you missed me too?"

"Ki-Kikyo...what happened to you?"

She looked the same alright, her hair a little shorter than I remembered. The same brown eyes, same ivory skin. She looked older, though. Almost tired.

"I wouldn't know where to begin, Inu. So much has happened since our time together. How long has it been?"

"Almost five years."

She sighed wistfully and looked up at the sky through the branches of the God tree.

"I'm sorry Inuyasha."

"Huh?"

"I'm sorry for everything. I must be such a bad memory for you. I only hope I didn't damage you in any way. But I was alone, and you were so... alive. You were such a comfort, but I took that too far. You were so young-you still are. You've grown up wonderfully, though. I always knew you would."

"Thanks...Um...Kikyo...didn't you get married?" She nodded and looked back at me.

"Yes, for a short time. Only a few months. But he wasn't the mad he'd made himself out to be. He hit me, he yelled, so I left."

"I...I thought I'd never see you again." I admitted. Her eyes warmed significantly at my words.

"So you did miss me?"

"I-" Suddenly she cast her eyes to the ground.

"Don't answer that. I don't deserve to hear you say yes. Not after what I did to you. How can you bear to even look at me? After I took advantage of you like that? What kind of woman am I?"

She began to cry softly. I shifted uncomfortably, not really knowing how to comfort her. Something about the thought of touching her...just didn't sit too well with me.

"You didn't scar me for life or anything. I'm alright. I forgave you a long time ago, right after you left with him. I never got to tell you. No matter what happened between us, you... you were there when I needed someone. It's not fair for me to forget that."

I took her hand gently and she gave it a light squeeze.

"Oh, Inu. Nothing has gone right in my life. I'm washed up. I married again, and he left. But he took everything I had, all my money from my savings, my car. Everything. So I came back here to get on my feet again. It is good to be home."

Suddenly I realized what she was saying. She had lived here?

"Kikyo? How...This was your home?"

"Yes, my sister in law lives here, as does my father. It's his shrine. My brother died some time ago. It's hard being around here, with all these memories, knowing Seikai is dead."

My blood froze in my veins. My mouth dropped open and my eyes went wide, but she didn't notice and continued to talk.

"Though it is good to see my niece and nephew again. Such good kids. Almost make me wish I'd had a child of my own. But I was never meant to be a mother. I'm fine with my place now. Souta, he's a wonderful boy, so respectful, and helpful. No wonder my father dotes on him so. And Kagome, why she looks so much like her father! She is most certainly my brother's daughter. You should meet her. She's about your age-twenty I think. Inu?"

She looked at me, concern apparent in her eyes. Then it dawned on her just what I was doing here.

She lowered her eyes to our joined hands, rubbing her thumb over my fingers.

"Hitomi said she was having some boy trouble. I'd never imagined in a million years it would be you. But somehow Fate has managed to throw us back together. How strange, for my niece to be in love with you, just like her aunt was." If it were at all possible, I was shocked once again.

"Wait.. You...loved me? But you said-"

"I said a lot of things I didn't mean, Inu. But I never said the one thing I did. I was in love with you, so much, but deep inside, I knew it was so wrong. What I was doing to you was unforgivable-and me, a former miko, should have known better. But I couldn't help myself. You were my weakness.

Inuyasha-I've never stopped thinking about you."

She suddenly took both of my hands and moved closer to me.

"Ki-" Her eyes were pleading then, her voice desperate and shaky.

"Please let me tell you! I've waited so long, and this, it's my only chance to say what I've always wanted to say to you. Every other man I've been with, they were nothing compared to you! Even though you were so young, you were everything I'd ever wanted. You still are. Oh Inuyasha, please give me another chance!"

Before I could even think about moving, she had pressed her lips to mine, tears still streaming down her face.

I was frozen. My body just would not move, I was in such a state of shock. I just stared wide eyed at the woman kissing me, entirely repulsed by her touch. It was at that moment that I heard footsteps coming towards us.

Not half a second later, Kagome walked around the corner of the house, smiling warmly, eyes lit in happiness.

It promptly faded when she saw what was happening right in front of her. I pushed Kikyo away quickly, but it was too late. Kagome had seen, and was already slowly backing away. I could see the tears fill her eyes as I stood up and opened my mouth to try to explain.

Nothing came out. I had no idea where to even begin.

She noticed my hesitation and quickly turned on her heel, and ran back around the corner. A moment later I heard the sliding door to her kitchen open and slam shut.

"Inuyasha? Are you alright?"

I lowered my head, closing my eyes and clenching my fist tightly. I began to laugh, low and bitter.

"Am...Am I alright?! That's all you have to say?! Am I alright?!" I turned sharply and she winced as I began to yell with a rage I'd only felt when I had seen Kouga on top on Kagome that fateful night.

"No I am not fucking 'alright'! You bitch, do you even realize what you did?! Can't you understand what you've just done?! She...Kagome...S-She saw...I can't believe this is happening..." I buried my face in my hands, and my knees threatened to give out. She reached out to touch me, but I slapped her hand away.

"NO...Don't you ever touch me again...You've ruined my life enough as it is....I can't believe you would do this to me..."

"Inu, I...I'm sorry...I don't know what came over me...it's just...I...I love-" I shook my head violently, cutting her off.

"Don't say that....Don't you ever tell me that again. You...you've ruined everything...You were the biggest mistake of my life... Don't...."

Before she could say another word, I turned and walked away. She called after me, but I hardly noticed. I walked straight into the house, up the stairs, past a gaping Souta, and to Kagome's door.

I could hear her sobbing inside.

"Kagome. Please open the door. Please let me-"

"FUCK OFF!"

I winced. She sure had a voice on her.

"Kagome, please you have to let me explain...It's not what you think, and-"

"I said, FUCK OFF! I don't want to hear another word from you as long as I live. I HATE you!"

It stung. It really did. But I didn't let it deter me. I wasn't going to leave that spot until I'd had my say.

"I'm not leaving until you listen to me. You have to let me explain. Please, let me in."

"NO."

"Please, I-"

"NO!"

"Kag-"

"NO!!"

My patience ran out and I jerked the doorknob.

"Kagome you open this door or I break it down! I'm not leaving until you listen to me!!"

It was silent for a moment, then I heard footsteps. I sighed in relief when I heard her unlock the door.

She flung open the door, looking as if all Hell were in her eyes.

She was so beautiful...I hadn't seen her in so long. I had to fight the urge to rush forward and just take her in my arms.

"Come in." She said flatly. I stepped in the room and she slammed the door behind me. Then she pointed at her bed.

"Sit."

I sat. She just stood before me, arms crossed, eyes red and brimming with unshed tears.

I took a deep breath and looked at my hands. She was making me even more nervous just staring at me.

"Please, come here."

"Talk."

I looked up at her. Under all the anger and sadness, I could see a slight glimmer of what I could only guess was hope. She hoping above all else that this was all just another misunderstanding, and that I would give her the explanation that would solve everything. Unfortunately, deep down inside I knew that what I was about to tell her would only make things much, much worse.

Nevertheless, she needed to know.

Everything.

Well as it turns out...

Tbc…

I am Evil!!
