Thinking

"talking"

Chapter 1: Love Trapped in Time

Inuyasha sat there wondering, wondering why he let her go. "what was I thinking" he said to himself

~flash back~

"that's the last one the jewel is complete" kagome said feeling strange its over, he doesn't need me anymore.

"so what happens now" Shippo asked afraid of the answer?

"I guess its time for me to go home" she replied sadly

For Inuyasha time stood still, he wasn't ready for it to end, no he didn't want it to end how could this be it a thought crossed his mind to shatter the jewel, to start over just so she wouldn't leave but he quickly dismissed it.

He looked to the left of him to see Shippo in tears pleading with Kagome to stay and Kagome trying desperately not to cry.

To his right Sango was finally coming to surprised she was in Miroku's arms, although Inuyasha had never seen his friend so relieved.

"did we beat him" Sango asked tiredly

"yes" Miroku replied grief still in his face.

"what is it Houshi-Sama" Sango asked worried when he didn't answer she pressed harder "whats wrong"

"Kohaku didn't make it " he replied sadly.

Sango burst into a fresh bout of tears and buried her face in his chest, he put his arms around her to comfort her, rocking her back and forth soothingly. He hated to see her in so much pain and whats worse he couldn't do anything about it.

He waited till he heard her sniffles before he checked on the others.

"everyone ok" he asked

"yeah" was Inuyasha's gruff reply

Satisfied with that Miroku went back to soothing Sango.

Inuyasha wasn't sure when it happened but they were at kaede's hut saying good bye to Kagome, he grabbed her bag and waited for her by the door way.

"Kaede you've been like a grandmother to me, I'm gonna miss you a lot" Kagome said while hugging the old priestess.

"aye child I shall never forget thee" Kaede said misting the slightest bit.

"Miroku you are a dear friend to me I'll miss you so much" she said leaning up to whisper "go for it, I know she'll except" with that she planted a quick kiss on his cheek and turned to Sango.

"what am gonna do for advice without you around, Kagome" Sango said trying not to cry and failing miserable.

"oh come on you don't need me" Kagome replied just as tearful. "really, Sango, I'm gonna miss your advice too, your like a sister to me" she said hugging the life out of Sango.

Kagome hated to say goodbye to Shippo. "Shippo I love you so much be good for Inuyasha" with that she planted a kiss on his head.

"please don't go, Kagome, I promise I'll be good I won't even bug Inuyasha anymore" he wailed clinging to her like a life line.

"Shippo, its not you, I have to go home and see my family and finish school, I'm sorry but I have to go" she said tearfully as she turn to leave.

It was a silent trip to the bone eaters well, as they came up on it she felt her resolve weaken, but determination took over as she turned to say goodbye to Inuyasha, say goodbye to the only man she ever loved and probably ever will love.

Surprisingly he looked sad.

She hugged him and said "goodbye Inuyasha I just wanted to let you know before I leave that I love you and wish you the best and will miss you very much" with that she squeezed him one more time and gave him a quick kiss on the lips before pulling back to look at him one more time before she would never see him again.

Inuyasha faintly heard the clatter of beads as he watched her go down the well for the last time.

She loves me he was to stunned to do anything and when he snapped out of it, it was already to late.

~end flash back~

"I have to tell her" he resolved and jumped down the well expecting to fill the pull of time and see the roof of the well house over his head but nothing happened.
