I got out of the shower and was inspired! I looked at a can of my stepdad's shaving cream (which isn't being used because he's in the hospital.) I thought about what if Inuyasha and Kagome broke up? I came up with this story from there. Oh, and the shaving cream trick really works! It keeps mirrors from getting fogged up for like 2 weeks.
I don't own Inuyasha, but I do own my inspiration... Oh yeah... It isn't mine.. It's my stepdad's can of shaving cream...

True Love Truly Gone?
Chapter 1: Broken Pieces of My Life
Kagome got out of the shower, grabbing a towel and drying off. She walked over to the fogged-up mirror. She reached under the sink, pulling out a can of men's shaving cream. She sprayed some on the mirror, rubbing it over the whole glassy surface with her hand. Then, she got a towel and wiped away the shaving cream, leaving the mirror shiny and clean.
She went to put the shaving cream away and looked at the can. This can of shaving cream served no other purpose than to clean the mirror of steamy-fog. No man used it, and no man ever would... Would they?
Kagome began to cry at the thought. It's not that she'd always been alone, no. She was indeed married. Was. And in addition, she had three children, but her husband, whom she truly loved, loved her no more.
--Flashback-- 5 1/2 years ago
Kagome and Inuyasha stood before the alter, wide smiles on both their faces. It was their wedding, and they couldn't be happier. Finally, they would be together, forever, in peace. Or so they thought...
-After the wedding-
"Kagome?" Inuyasha asked, to get her attention.
"Huh?" She looked up at him.
"I need to tell you something." He said seriously.
"What is it?" She asked, sitting up straight. She was concerned about the confession he would make right after their wedding.
"No matter what happens... I will always love you." Inuyasha said in a seriousness that not even death could counter.
"I know, me too." She smiled, relieved. Then she kissed him.
--End Flashback--
"Bitter lies! You don't love me now, do you!?" Kagome threw the can of shaving cream at the mirror, breaking it.
She wasn't hurt from the shrapnel, as she'd barriered them from touching her body.
"Mommy?" A little girl asked from outside the door, the sound in her voice fearful.
"I'm okay. I accidentally broke the mirror. Go watch TV, Satsuki!" She told the 5 year old.
(A/n: For the kid's names, I used the names of Inuyasha's and Kagome's Japanese voice actors, Satsuki Yukino, and Kappei Yamaguchi.)
"K, Mommy." The little girl ran off.
Kagome reassembled the pieces of the mirror, as it it had never broken.
"At least my miko powers still work for something." Kagome sighed, getting dressed.
With Inuyasha
He stared at the well, as if he were waiting for something to happen to it.
"She's not going to come back if you just stare at it, ya know!" Shippo told him.
"She's not coming back, ever." He said bitterly.
"If you hadn't--"
"You know why I did it! I'm tired of everyone telling me like you actually were dealing with the situation yourselves!" He cut him off, thinking of what happened.
--Flashback-- 3 Years ago
"Hehe... They will die, Inuyasha! Your beloved human mate and offspring will pay for your mistake, without fail." The demon laughed from the shadows.
"No they won't I'll kill you before you everget near them!" Inuyasha yelled, attacking him with Tetsusaiga.
The unnamed demon dodged all Inuyasha's attacks, and dealt his own. Inuyasha was worn down quickly, and eventually passed out from loss of blood.
He woke up later in an angry rage. 'why didn't he finish me! Dammit Kagome, you and the pups better be okay!' he thought as he ran to the village, as fast as he could. He didn't even realize that he didn't have even a scratch on him.
As he ran, he thought of what to do, and he decided. He didn't want to do what was to be done, but he had no other choice. He could not kill this demon, and he refused to let it kill his family.
He walked into the hut, relieved to see Kagome nursing their newborn son, without a care in the world.
"Where were you?" She asked, sounding worried.
"I've been thinking..." He said, emotionless.
"Yeah?" She asked, putting the baby down.
"Maybe you should go back to your own time." He suggested, hoping that would be all he would have to say.
"What do you mean? This is my time." Kagome said, confused.
"We should take a break..." He had expected that it wouldn't be so easy...
"A break?" She asked, realizing what he was saying. "I thought you were happy."
"I was." He sighed, he sighed, trying to keep his composure. He'd never been so close to crying before.
"Inuyasha, please tell me that you're not really doing this!"
"Face it, Kagome! It's over. I don't love you anymore!" The words killed him. They weren't true, and he partly hoped she wouldn't believe them.
"Okay, I understand." She said, getting up. She herself, was trying not to cry, but Inuyasha did smell tears.
In a matter of hours, she, and their three kids packed and gone, back to 500 years into the future; Leaving the house half-empty, and two lives and hearts broken.
Okay, I have a lot of other fanfics going so bear with me. I will eventually get all of them updated with new chapters!
