Prompt from Stella Mira's Soundtrack Challenge #7: Cursed Past

“I must.”

Kagome hated hurting Inuyasha but she was going.

Inuyasha glanced at Sesshomaru then took Kagome’s arm and drew her further away, wanting some privacy. “Why this sudden change? Are you that unhappy here with me?” His heart ached at the thought.

She smiled kindly at him, taking his hand in hers as she had always done. “Of course not. I care about you. Too much, actually. I need to get away for a while, to think. I can’t keep chasing after you, Inuyasha. Not when you still love Kikyo.”

His face crumbled, knowing she was right. Hating it.
