A/N: This thought always bothered me. Why is it, when Kagome jumped into the well it brought her to the Inuyasha forest 50 years AFTER Kikyo pinned him? What if it was just a couple of days before Kikyo pinned him to the tree? What would Kagome do? Second Inuyasha fic! Please be nice! No flames! Read and review! Arigatou!

DISCLAIMER (For ALL chapters!): 'I cannot tell a lie!' supposedly said by George Washington, either way that statement is not correct for me! I CAN tell a lie, but in disclaimers I prefer not to as to not get sued by evil lawyers! (Did that make sense to any of you, coz it sure didn't make sense when I was writing it! Lol) So, I don't own Inuyasha, though it would make a nice b-day present! Plus I'm not making any profit by writing this story!

"Mom! I'm going back now!" fifteen year old Kagome Higurashi called over her shoulder to her mother, her yellow backpack masking the side of her face as she turned it slightly.

"Ok dear! I expect you back in a few weeks!" Korari Higurashi shouted to her daughter, her commands falling on deaf ears as Kagome was half-way to the well house by now.

"Damn door!" Kagome struggled with the door, when finally it opened. It felt strange walking around in a traditional kimono. Her mother suggested it since she never did like Kagome's uniform's skirt. It was too short for her likings, and plus the kimono suited her more.

"Anyways, you look so cute!" Korari had cooed at Kagome when she first put the floral pink kimono on.

"Yeah, I look cute alright" Kagome giggled when she remembered Hojo's face from when he came that morning. He was practically a drooling!

But Kagome had to admit, it was a pretty thing. It was pink, with white flowers in an intricate pattern. It had a white sash going through the middle near the bottom of her chest, and a white ribbon at the hem of her sleeves and kimono.

She snapped out of her trance-like state and jumped through the well. She was already a day late, and she knew what would happen if she stayed here any longer. Inuyasha would probably blow a gasket! She did not want to deal with an enraged hanyou at the moment. She didn't know why he always got so touchy. He would say it was because they had shards to hunt but, she couldn't help but think it was something else. Something more, to do with his emotions maybe?

'Argh! Inuyasha's so damn confusing!' Kagome glared at nothing in particular as the swirling time vortex of blue ceased and she felt solid, dirty ground beneath her sandals. She shouldered her yellow pack and began to climb out. She grumbled to herself about annoying hanyou's who were too hard to figure out the whole way up.

As she came out the other side, she felt refreshed. The air was so sweet back here in the feudal era. It just made her despise pollutants and toxics even more. She gazed at the setting sun, her eyes only lingering a moment before she began to move again towards the village, where no doubt, a certain fired up hanyou would be waiting.

'Although you have to admit he looks pretty cute when he's angry or embarrassed' a voice from deep inside Kagome's mind pointed out.

'Okay, where did that come from?'

'From me stupid'

'And me is who?'

'Why, I'm your conscious! I tell you what you really think about things! Even though you may not like or be embarrassed by the truth'

'Oh great! So basically I'm talking to myself?'

'Yup! And I also know, you have a crush on our favourite red-clad, silver-haired, dog-eared hanyou' the nagging voice said in a sing-song voice. Kagome turned beet-red.

'No I don't!' she denied fiercely, not knowing why she was denying the truth. Somehow, she already knew this battle was long lost.

She decided to pay a little visit to the Goshinboku because, for some reason she was compelled to go, and also because she would probably find Inuyasha there, the whole way her conscious singing only for her ears, 'you do, you do!' in an especially annoying voice.

When she reached the Goshinboku, she just stood and stared at the beautiful, big tree. For a second all thoughts about being a day late and an angry Inuyasha went out the window.

'Is I just me, or does it seem a tad bit smaller than I last remember' she wondered as she scanned the tree more carefully. She gasped as she realised something wasn't right. The mark from the arrow that had held Inuyasha trapped for fifty years wasn't there!

Her hand lightly grazed the spot where the arrow had been, caressing it absently as she stared into space, reminiscing the day she actually pulled the stupid, enchanted arrow out.

Flashback

A fearful Kagome was pressed up against an awake Inuyasha.

"Argh! It's crushing me!" Kagome screamed out through gritted teeth, clinging on tighter. Inuyasha suddenly spoke up.

"Hey, can you … pull out this arrow?" he asked.

"Huh?" Kagome looked up as Mistress Centipede tightened her hold on them.

"Look, can you pull out this arrow or not?!" an aggravated Inuyasha asked impatiently.

"I-I don't know" confessed Kagome as she reached for the arrow. Kaede jumped down from her steed in alarm.

"Nay child! Once the arrow is removed, then Inuyasha will be free to destroy us all!" she cried waving her arm in a 'no' gesture.

"Don't be stupid ya old hag! At least with me you've got a chance, whereas that thing's gonna eat you!" Inuyasha shouted in Kaede's direction as the demon growled.

"And what about you?" he asked Kagome.

"Are you ready to die yet?" he asked as she fought to pull herself higher.

'I-I don't know what I should do but…' she reached up and grasped the arrow tight in her right hand.

'But given the choice, I choose to…'

"LIVE!" she shouted the last part as she pulled the arrow out. A bright purple light shone and the arrow disintegrated.

"It's gone!" Kaede cried out in shock.

"My sister's spell vanished!" a purple light was emitting from the tree where the two were being crushed. As their vision cleared enough to see, Inuyasha began pulsing.

End Flashback

Kagome's flashback was interrupted as she heard a rustling from above and then silence. She looked upwards but there was nothing there, except a few leaves shaking from the after-math of whatever it had been.

'Something's not right' her miko senses had been growing and she was getting better at recognizing auras. This aura appeared to be Inuyasha's but something was strange about it. It wasn't quite the same. It seem younger?

'What the fuck is going on here?!' Kagome thought.

As her eyes trailed downwards, once again heading towards where the mark should have been, she sensed a presence behind her and twirled round to be faced with a gaping hanyou.

A/N: Well this was supposed to be a really long oneshot, but I've got more plans for it than I first thought! So this is a default chapter. Should I continue? I've already started Chapter 2. Although I'm sick, I felt up to posting this since Chapter 1 was done before I got sick so here ya go! Please review if you like it and want me to continue! No flames! R&R! Arigatou for reading! Ja ne!
