Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha.

Trapped Forever with You

"Ah another moonless night lies ahead" Kagura thought aloud as she soared through the sky. I might just be able to defeat Inuyasha if I figure out my priorities right Kagura thought. It seems as though that Hanyou is protective of that mortal Kagome...maybe I can use her as bait...yes bait..to kill Inuyasha once and for all. Sleep now Inuyasha for it will be your last sleep at ease.

Kaede's Hut

Everyone was sleeping by the fire, except for Inuyasha. He was sitting across the fire from Kagome. The firelight illuminated her face, as she peacefully slept. Inuyasha went over and sat next to the sleeping Kagome, I'll protect you forever, I'll go to the ends of the earth for you Kagome, Inuyasha whispered to Kagome as he ran his finger down her cheek. As hard as Inuyasha always tried, he could never bring himself to admitting to Kagome how he really felt about her. And then of course he would always do something stupid, like kiss Kikyo in front of Kagome, without realizing it. Baka. Inuyasha thought. I must be some Infuriating Baka to her! Inuyasha hit himself in the head for doing stupid things like that with Kikyou.

The Next Morning

"Not AGAIN Kagome" Inuyasha complained.

"I have to take my tests Inuyasha! How am I ever going to get a job?" Kagome stated as she walked towards the well.

"But I wa.."

"DENTENS BLADES" Kagura shouted from a large tree, huge blades started to attack Kagome and Inuyasha. In seconds, Inuyasha had wrapped the top of his Kimono (A/N I'm not sure if that is the right name but if its not I'm sorry) Around Kagome, Kagome felt comforted by the fire rat cloth that protected her from harm.

"WINSCAR" Inuyasha screamed as he drew the tetsugaia from its sheath.

Kagura ignored this and started towards the fleeing miku.

"DENTENS TRAGON" Kagura Screamed.

"AHHHH"! Kagome screamed as she tripped over a root the fire rat cloth flying from her grasp while fleeing from the deadly whirl wind.

"KAGOME!" Inuyasha shouted with an outstretched hand as he ran and covered Kagome. He picked her up and ran towards the well dodging Kaguras attacks, Inuyasha jumped on to the wooden side of the well, now of which was rotting away.

"DENTENS BLADES" Kagura yelled, the impact was too harsh for Inuyasha, to withstand without tetsugaia in his grasp, so the only option was to leap down into the well.

Inuyasha, lepta into the well, leaving Kagura behind in the feudal era.

Inuyasha are you alright? Kagome asked helping Inuyasha out of the well.

"Depends on how you say alright" Inuyasha stated, looking a wound in his shoulder, of which Kagura had bloodied up pretty well when she attacked Inuyasha and Kagome on the well.

"Well here lets get you inside and cleaned up." Kagome said, getting the Key from under the welcome mat of her house.

"uhh Kagome", Inuyasha asked while Kagome was halfway through turning the key, "what's this say?" Inuyasha asked holding up a yellow post-it-note.

The Note:

Kagome,

We went to see your Aunt Yuri, her cancer is acting up again, and she needs me to help tend to her home and such, Sota and Grandpa are here with me. We will be gone for about a week...or 2. Sorry Hun for leaving so unexpectedly.

P.S., look on top of the fridge; hopefully you'll manage with that

"What's it say?" Inuyasha asked.

"It says that my family will be gone for about two weeks.." sighed Kagome.

Kagome opened the door and got $150 on top of the fridge.

"Here Inuyasha, you can sit here, and I'll get something to eat...what would you like?" Kagome asked opening the fridge.

"How about those sweet crispy nut things?" Inuyasha asked hopefully.

"Almond Wafers? Sure!" Kagome said, as she put 2 wafers on each plate, with a cup of peppermint tea.

As Kagome and Inuyasha silently sipped their tea, Kagome thought of how two nights ago, she had found Inuyasha and Kikyo together once more. Curse that rotting carcass Kagome thought. It's the only thing that keeps Inuyasha and Kagome apart. They both have feelings for each other, but are both too blind to notice. Kagome as always put this behind her. Even though she spent that night running back to the hut crying, she will never tell Inuyasha, he will never know how much she had severed her heart in two.

"Well Inuyasha, my test is tomorrow so you can stay here for a few hours, and wait untill it is over." ...." I guess" Kagome thought of how the last time she let Inuyasha stay alone in her house for a 'few' hours, she came back to find him and his mothers vase in pieces on the floor. sigh.

After Kagome and Inuyasha finished eating, Kagome went over to her calendar to cross out the day, but noticed that it was a new moon.

"Inuyasha, do you realize it's a moonless night again?"

"feh..." Inuyasha 'fehhed' again as usual.

"I guess it will be safer if you stay in my time...then Kagura won't be trying to kill you every 5 seconds..." Kagome thought aloud.

"Oh please, I can take that witch on no problem, if little mortals weren't getting in the way all the time" Inuyasha said.

Kagome rolled her eyes. "Well here lets get you some clothes that fit this era." Kagome said while going upstairs to get a pair of baggy blue jeans, and a red oversized t-shirt.

"Lady Kaede how long will it take to fix the well?" the curious Monk Miroku asked as he stared at the well now destroyed by Kagura's blade.

"Well, physically it should only take a day or two, but it will take another week and a half to get the well to be able to transport Kagome and Inuyasha back here." Kaede said, concerned.

"I hope Inuyasha is behaving...." Sango said thinking of how Inuyasha was commanded to sit 3 times after he broke Kagome's mother's vase.

"Then let's get started!" Sango said as she jumped on Kirara's back heading off to get some wood.

"Let's make it oak wood, so it won't break as easily." Miroku said.

"Wait for meee!" Shippo squealed as he jumped on Kirara's back behind Sango.

The trio set off for the oak forest, bound to fix the Hirugashi well.

"Here Inuyasha," Kagome said handing the Hanyou the clothes.

"Thanks Kagome" Inuyasha said staring at the clothes.

Kagome glanced at the clock, it was 6:00pm, I guess I should start dinner now... Kagome thought.

Inuyasha came out wearing the blue jeans and red shirt.

"What would you like for dinner Inuyasha?" Kagome asked starting to get a pot out of the cabinet.

"Lizard?" Inuyasha asked.

"No Inuyasha...in this era we don't often sell lizard in a supermarket..." Kagome thought as a picture of a lizard in plastic wrap in the meat section that had a sign that read '2 for 2.99.

"What's a supermarket?" Inuyasha asked.

"Never mind..." Kagome said. "Oh look! Mom left two onigris (A/N it's a rice ball with a filling inside) mmm my favorite, its jelly filled!" Kagome said as she started to heat them up in the microwave.

I can't believe humans these days have all these things that do their tasks for them! It's so stupid! If they have all these brains that they used to 'invent' these things why don't they put it to use and actually hunt their food!? Inuyasha thought.

"I guess I'll heat up some chicken and rice..." Kagome thought aloud as she started to reheat the chicken over the stove and dish out the rice. Kagome went from a various drawer and got out 2 pairs of chopsticks, two bowls, and two small plates.

Ping! Onigris done! beep beep beep beeeeeeeeep! Chicken is done!

Kagome served dinner and sat across from Inuyasha, They both ate and talked, about things like Naraku, and Sesshomaru.

"This is nice" Inuyasha said sweetly..."Its ain't charred lizard like Miroku makes..."

They both laughed, then after cleaning up they went into Kagome's back yard and watched the sunset, calling upon a moonless night. Inuyasha sat up in Kagome's dogwood tree, which was now full of sleeping pink flower buds. Kagome sat by her grandfather's Koi fish pond. She looked down at the red and white one, which they called Rose. Kagome's grandfather bought it when Kagome was born (A/N I know that's a little old for a fish, but it's a cute little touch). It was a large fish indeed, almost 18 inches long. The fish had also laid eggs, which she guarded with her life from the other fish in the pond, while her mate, a pure white Koi, brought her small fish pellets. Kagome's grandpa never had named that particular Koi but Kagome had secretly named it Inuyasha. The Koi reminded her so much of him. How it would not let any harm come to Rose, and how it always had a small hint of an attitude. Kagome put her forefinger lightly on top of the water, in an instant a small orange fish ran up to it and started to nibble lightly. Kagome had done that since she was a child. When the water settled, Kagome saw her reflection, she didn't know why but she looked so sad. Inuyasha, up in the tree saw her reflection as well.

Why does she look so sad? She always looks sad...is it me? Hold it shes crying isn't she? Maybe...oh crap...she must've seen me and Kikyo the other night...blast it!

Kagome silently teared, shattering her reflection in the water. Inuyasha jumped down from the tree, and walked over to Kagome, he stood behind her, just looking at her. Kagome then saw his face behind her, it looked soft, and concerned.

"Inuyasha sniff don't worry sniff about me, it's just my allergies..." Kagome lied, she was secretly thinking about what happened the other night.

"Here," Inuyasha said lending a hand to help her up "I want to show you something that might cheer you up" Inuyasha said.

Inuyasha led Kagome up into the dogwood tree, and had her sit on the branch that had a perfect view of the sunset. It was a beautiful sight, half of an enormous red sun was in view, with a pink and orange haze surrounding it, and at that one moment, two cranes flew cross the sunset at this moment.

Inuyasha smelled the salty tears, he looked at Kagome, she was crying again. Inuyasha felt hurt a little, his ears went back a little, as he edged near Kagome. "Sorry, that it made you sad", Inuyasha said tenderly.

"It's not that Inuyasha, I'm just thinking about something, tell me, Inuyasha, what are you thinking about at this moment?" Kagome asked as she rested her head on Inuyasha's shoulder.

Inuyasha smiled, but his smile was quickly erased, as the truth was about to leave his lips.

"Oh just three days ago, when you shot that cat demon with your arrow..." Inuyasha lied.

"Really? Because I'm thinking of that exact same night..." Kagome said eyeing Inuyasha.

"Oh yea that really nice..." Inuyasha began, trying to think of the ramen Kaede had made.

"Kiss" Kagome finished for him. "With Kikyo... don't you remember?" Kagome asked

"Kagome, you don't understand it's just that, Kikyo...she died trying to be with me, and she just looks so real..." Inuyasha tried to explain.

Kagome thought a moment "Inuyasha, look at me, aren't I real? When you hold me don't I feel real? Beneath my skin, lies a heart with your name in it, it is beating Inuyasha, beating because it is real and..." Kagome cried one tear that fell on Inuyasha's shoulder, and trailed down to his beating heart "it longs to be with you".Kagome said. She then closed her eyes and rested on Inuyasha's shoulder, and in her mind she cried herself to sleep.

The sun at this moment, went below the horizon, and Inuyasha changed into his dreaded human form.

"Kagome I love you, Kikyo, she just tricks me, into believing that she is still alive. When we go back I'll tell her, I'll slay her...for you my only love.

"And I with you" Kagome whispered.
