A/N: This story is very experimentally written in reverse. By paragraph. And is entirely dialogue. So that may be why it doesn't seem to make sense. Or at least that's what I'm going to pretend anyways.

Unless you're Inuyasha. Then you're pretty much equally screwed.

"You don't need me anymore. All of the shards are in our possession or Naraku's. Kikyou is capable of protecting the ones that we already have. I'm a burden and I-I think it's better that I go."
Say something. Anything.
Kagome... I-
Silence.

"Maybe you're right. Maybe Kikyou wouldn't endanger the mission like that. But we both know that I'm not Kikyou."
I will not cry.
"Maybe... it would be better if I left the mission to Kikyou. For everyone."
You promised...
"Are you going to break your promise?"
"All I know is that I make you angry. I- I want you to be happy and maybe... that would be easier if I'm not here."
What are you doing, Kagome?
"What are you trying to say?"
-###-
"What do you mean, 'slowing us down'!?! It took five seconds and you couldn't even be bothered to respond!"
Okay. I'm slightly disturbed that yelling at Inuyasha makes me feel better-
"Well Kikyou-"
Or maybe not. How many 'sits' to the center of the earth?
"'Kikyou' what?"
Oh shit. Keep mouth closed keep mouth closed.
"Kikyou would never say something that would keep us from concentrating on our mission!"
Oh. Shit.
-###-
"Hee. I was just joking. Just forget I said anything."
I sure as hell plan to.
Oh fuck. She's trying not to cry. Think of something, idiot!
"Come on, this shit is slowing us down and keeping us from finding Naraku!"
Well that was brilliant.

"I love you."
Say something. Anything.
Kagome... I-
Silence.
