ItalicFlashback/Thought

Inuyasha pulled Kagome into an embrace. He was letting go of the one thing he loved dearly. But it was the only way. After I use the Shikon Jewel, Kagome can never travel through the well, and I could never make her stay here. She belongs with her friends and family in the future. The only way to make her leave forever was to make her think I hated her. Otherwise she would want to stay here, in the past. Silly girl, he thought. A tear slipped from his eye and rolled down his cheek. It landed on Kagome's shoulder

"Kagome, I... I never want to see you again. If you come back here I-I'll kill you." Inuyasha's voice wavered.

"Inu...yasha...What's wrong?" Kagome stared at him with big, concerned eyes. She touched the spot on her uniform where his tear had fallen. "What's wrong Inuyasha?" Kagome repeated.

"Nothing... Just leave me alone!" Inuyasha turned his head and looked away. How can I do this to myself? Inuyasha thought. It's torture. Not looking at Kagome Inuyasha picked her up and threw her over his shoulder. "Don't come back Kagome. Don't ever come back!"

"Inuyasha, why are you doing this? What is wrong with you?" Kagome yelled. "Put me down this instant, Inuyasha!" Inuyasha acted as if he never even heard her. "Goodbye Kagome!" He yelled as he threw her down the well.

"Goodbye." Inuyasha murmured as another tear rolled down his cheek. "Goodbye for now." Inuyasha sat beside the well, and took out the precious jewel from a fold in his kimono. Just use it, he thought to himself. Become a full demon, that's why you wanted it, right? Just do it, Inuyasha kept telling himself. Inuyasha sighed and put the jewel back into his kimono.

Inuyasha let out a sigh as he shifted his position oh his branch. "Kagome" He murmured softly. A warm breeze whipped around his head making his hair sway with the breeze. He missed Kagome. Everyday he secretly wished she would come back. Of course she's not coming back! He told himself. He had said he hated her. Why would she come back? Idiot! He thought.

Inuyasha leapt off his branch. Landing on all fours he sped off into the forest. A fire caught his eye and he immediately slowed down

"Sango? Sango, are you here?" Inuyasha called for his friend. A raven-haired girl poked her head out from under some bushes. "Sango what are you..."

"Shhh!" She put her finger to her lips. She reached up and pulled him into the bushes beside her. A certain monk landed on the ground in front of them. Inuyasha noticed Sango was barely breathing, as Miroku searched around for her. They saw him walk up to the bush where they were hiding.

"Hi, Sango!" Miroku yelled as he parted the bushes, to reveal the hiding Inuyasha and Sango. Inuyasha stood up.

"What are you doing here?" he asked.

"I'd like to know the same thing." Miroku retorted. Ignoring the monk, Inuyasha turned to Sango.

"Sango, I need some help."

"What is it, Inuyasha?" Asked Sango, looking slightly concerned. She looked him in the eye and couldn't read his expression but she figured something was wrong by the way he spoke.

"It's about Kagome. A long time ago I told her to go away and never come back, but I had good reasons. After I was going to use the Shikon jewel she would never be able to travel through the well. I knew she had feelings for me, so I knew she would stay here, in the past, instead of going back to her family. But I regret that now and I want her to come back. What should I do?" Inuyasha pleaded.

"Well, I think it's kind of obvious, isn't it? Go get her! You didn't use the jewel did you?" Sango looked at Inuyasha cynically.

"Of course not! What do you take me for, Sango?" Inuyasha started to get angry. How dare Sango think he was selfish enough to do that!

"Sorry! Don't bite my head off! I was just" Sango paused and her eyes widened. "MIROKU! YOU LECHER! GET YOUR HANDS OFF OF ME!" Sango proceeded to pummel Miroku while he claimed he had only good intentions and that he didn't even notice where his hand was. Finally, with a quivering Miroku crying for mercy, Sango continued with what she was saying.

"Anyway," Sango said, angrily. "Like I was saying, I was just wondering because Kagome could never get back through. She isn't strong enough. You know that!" Sango finished with a flourish. There was a long, awkward pause. "Well, what are you waiting for?" Sango said after a while. "Go get her!"

"Right!" Inuyasha said determinedly. "But first I have a question! What are you two doing together?" Inuyasha inquired.

"Well Miroku has been searching for me everywhere, and he won't leave me alone!" Sango said, a little bit pissed off at the fact that Miroku was such an annoyance.

"Oh... " Inuyasha replied and he set off through the forest.

"Inuyasha, make sure Kagome doesn't know it's you when you approach her! She might reject you!" Sango yelled after him. Inuyasha heard Miroku murmur something and then heard a yelp from him that sounded oddly like a schoolgirl.

Inuyasha sped from one place to the next until his destination came into sight. Landing right beside the well, he placed his hand on the soft wood and lifted his one leg over the ledge, preparing to jump. But something made him pause.

What if Kagome hates me? What if she doesn't remember me? It's been so long. At least three years. What if she can't forgive me? Inuyasha sighed and sat down with his back against the well. What was he doing? What if Kagome hadn't forgiven him? What if she was still mad?

Sango was right, he had to disguise himself and only go to her house when she wasn't there to gather information. Then after a while he would approach her. He climbed into the well and a blue light surrounded him. Suddenly he was in the future. Inuyasha scaled the wall of the Higurashi home and found what he remembered to be Kagome's window.

As he climbed in the window, the door knob spun and Mrs. Higurashi walked in. Kagome's mother gasped to find the hanyou standing in the middle if her daughter's room.

"Inuyasha, what are you doing here?"

"Um... I was just looking for something I leant Kagome which she never returned." Inuyasha lied.

"Right." Mrs. Higurashi said sarcastically. But then her scary mother instincts took over. "Wait a second," she said. "You hurt my daughter! You said you hated her! No one hates my Kagome!"

"Except for a couple thousand demons." Inuyasha muttered under his breath.

"What did you say?" Inuyasha was starting to get scared.

"Nothing." He replied, quietly. "Listen, I'm sorry, I had my reasons. I don't hate your daughter, I was keeping her form making a bad decision she would have regretted. I want to make it up to her. Will you help me?"

"Ok, but only if you're really sorry. Listen you have to leave right now, but come over anytime you want. Ok?" Mrs. Higurashi

"I plan on it." Inuyasha smirked.

Kagome sighed and pressed the "Messages" button on her answering machine. She immediately heard a familiar voice.

"Hi Honey! Just calling to see if you want to have dinner at home tonight. Love you! Bye!"

Kagome sighed a happy sigh and picked up her phone. She dialed the number and waited as it rang. After 4 rings she heard her little brother Souta answer.

"Hello?

"Hi Souta! Is mom there?" Kagome said.

"Oh Kagome hi! Oh guess what! Today, in school, we had to draw a picture of our heroes and I drew Inuyasha!" Souta exclaimed.Heat rose into Kagome's face. She didn't ever want to hear about Inuyasha again. She was so mad at him! The nerve! He was such a jerk!

"Souta I thought I told you never to mention Inuyasha, EVER!" Kagome yelled into the phone. "Now, is mom there please?" She asked, calming herself down.

"Uh... sure. Hold on a sec... MOM! PHONE! IT'S KAGOME!" Souta yelled.

There a clang and some footsteps and an odd whistling sound. Finally her mom picked up.

"Hello?" Kagome's mother answered.

"Hi, mom! I just wanted to know if it was ok if I came to dinner still." Kagome asked.

"Of course. See you at six!" Kagome's mother hung up the phone. Kagome hung up as well. She grabbed her jacket and walked out of her apartment. She locked the door and stepped into an elevator. Looking around she noticed she was the only one in the elevator. She pushed the basement floor button and watched the numbers as the elevator descended.

Once in the basement, which was an underground parking lot, Kagome climbed into her Mercedes Benz (she inherited some money from a distant relation and decided to buy a nice car) and started the engine. She drove out of the underground parking lot and out onto the road. On every light she hit a red light. While looking out her window, she saw a strange person with long silver hair, wearing a pair of jeans and a green t-shirt. Kagome looked back up at the light and back to where the person was before, but they had vanished.

Finally she arrived at her home. She got out of the car and walked up to the front door. Taking a deep breath she walked inside her home.

"Kagome!" Souta ran down the hall towards his big sister.

"Hey Souta!" Kagome picked up her little brother and twirled him around. Her mother appeared at the hallway entrance.

"Hi honey!" Mrs. Higurashi greeted her daughter.

"Hi mom!" Kagome smiled. Her mother was the same as she remembered, tall and with glinting eyes, as if she knew something no one else did.

"Dinner won't be ready for a while, so just make yourself at home. Your room is the same as it always, just so you know. Oh, the rice!" Her mother exclaimed as the hissing sound of water hitting the red hot burner.

Kagome chuckled, and wandered up the stairs. She kicked off her shoes and pulled off her socks and entered her room. The straw matting on the floor felt good on her sore feet.

First she walked over to her dresser and looked in the mirror. Her raven hair gleamed in the light. She smiled and looked down at her dresser. Picking up a few select items and examining them carefully, then putting them down, Kagome moved over to her bed. As she sat down, she picked up one of the pillows. Kagome laid down and closed her eyes. It was good to be home again. She opened her eyes again and started to trace around the designs. Then she found on the pillow what looked to be a long silver thread.

She picked it up very carefully and examined it. Kagome ran out of her room, and thundered down the stairs. She ran into the kitchen, where she found her mother.

"Mother," Kagome said sweetly. "What's this?" She said holding up the long silver hair.

"It's a hair, of course." Her mother replied.

"I know that! But who's?" Kagome was confused, who had hair this long?

"Inuyasha's!" Replied her mother as if it was no big deal.

"Inu... yasha's?" Kagome asked, shocked.

"Yeah, he's over here all the time!" Kagome's mother said nonchalantly.

Kagome only saw black as she fainted, there and then, in her mother's kitchen.

Well did u like it? Review!
