This is my first ever fanfic so if is really bad tell what's so bad about it so I can fix it!

Disclaimer: I do not own inuyasha if I did the episodes would still be running! On that note theres a rumor of a fifth movie and more episodes Squee yay! so happy :D

Note: kagome's friends; Eri is the one with the yellow headband, Yuka is the short haired one and Ayumi is the curly haired one…its hard to explain so bear with me!

Inuyasha was standing on the enormous roots of the sacred tree running his hand over the place kikyo had sealed him over 50 years ago. There was a notch in the tree where the arrow had fisrt struck him. The arrow head had been there for a long time, that was until kagome had pulled it out in a desperate attempt to get back to the feudal era after the well had closed up, The memories made Inuyasha smile.

A gooshy feeling occured in Inuyasha's stomach, he always felt this way when he thought about kagome, it was a very different feeling than the one he got when he thought of kikyo. When he though of kikyo he felt love for her but also regret, guilt, bitterness and as he thought about it even hate, for kikyo had tried to kill kagome on more than one occasion.

Inuyasha scowled and muttered, "stupid thing to think about"

"What's so stupid?" a voice said from below making Inuyasha jump, he hadn't been paying attention to his surroundings because he was so deep in thought. the hanyo looked around to see Miroku the 'lecherous' monk staring at him from across the clearing.

"Nothing that concerns you" Inuyasha snapped

"okay, well I just thought I might tell you that kagome is getting ready to leave for her own time"

"SHIT, she can't go yet we still have to find the rest of the jew…" Whatever else Inuyasha was saying was lost to Miroku due to the fact that Inuyasha had bounded of in the direction of kaede's hut. Miroku sighed

"typical he muttered"

"I HEARD THAT!", was the distant reply.

In a nearby hut Kagome was sighing as she looked at her near empty backpack. Sometimes she wondered why she even bothered bringing all the food back to the feudal era, since almost as soon as she climbed out of the well she was swarmed by her friends looking for the amazing food she brought from the future. Sometimes she even wondered if the food was the only reason they let her stick around.

Kagome smiled to herself, that was a silly thing to think, she carried her share of the work just as much as anyone else in her little band of friends did.

As Kagome rose, stretching her cramped muscles, she heard her name being roared in nothing but an unpleasant way. She sighed, here came Inuyasha obviously intent on stopping her from leaving yet again.

She heard a snigger and turned to see Sango stand and leave the room, with Shipou right behind her. Just as the fluffy little tail disappeared out the back of kaede's hut, a silver haired boy crashed in the front. Kagome braced herself for the oncoming verbal abuse she would have to endure, before she would 'sit' Inuyasha and head back to her own time.

Sure enough just as she thought this Inuyasha stormed over and grabbed her shoulders. "you can't leave now" he growled "we still have work to do!". Kagome shrugged off his hands, gave him a single glare and left the hut, bag in tow.

Inuyasha growled, and went to follow her. He enjoyed playing this game and he suspected kagome did too.

"Inuyasha I have to go get more supplies" kagome said to him (she obviously knew he would be following her, for she didn't even turn around). "Our battles with Naraku are getting more frequent, Which means more injuries, Which also means I have to get more medical supplies". Inuyasha could see her point, without kagome's medical supplies they would all be a lot worse off.

"2 hours" Inuyasha grunted

Kagome turned to stare at him.

"You cant be serious! I still have to go to school and see all my friends! I have other obligations to attend to you know!" Kagome sighed, "I'll be gone a week whether you like it or not!" she gave him another look over, Inuyasha was trying not to get too worked up at this point.

"And don't you dare follow me!" she added, Inuyasha snapped.

"A WEEK!" he roared "WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF NARAKU TURNS UP WHEN YOU ARE GONE!?! WHAT WOULD WE DO THEN HUH!?!" in truth Inuyasha didn't want kagome leaving because, even though it was hard to admit, he would miss her company. He blushed at this thought.

Kagome who had been watching Inuyasha carefully saw him blush but didn't comment on it, who knows what that guy was thinking.

"Inuyasha" Inuyasha cringed he knew all too well what was coming. "SIT!"

The hanyou slammd face first into the ground.

"I'm going now" she informed him as he dragged himself off the ground "I've already said goodbye to the others, and if you don't mind I want too see my family." Inuyasha's ears dropped at her last words and kagome knew she had hit a soft spot

"Inuyasha?" she queried, feeling a little guilty.

"Fine" he moped "just be back as soon as you can, we still have work to do remember?" kagome nodded, by now they had reached the bone eaters well, the only link between Kagome's and Inuyasha's worlds.

As kagome readied herself for the jump down the well, she turned to look at inuyasha. The light shining on his face caused him to lift a hand to protect his golden eyes, his ears twitched with each sound that pierced the silence and even as she watched a slight breeze whipped his hair across his face.

It was a beautiful face, The most beautiful face she had ever seen. Kagome's heart beat faster as she looked at inuyasha, he looked sad. It was the same face he had whenever he had seen kikyo. This thought brought kagome back to the present… well the past at least she thought, this wasn't her world, she didn't belong here. She would Finnish her quest and return to her own time. The thought made her sad. She didn't want inuyasha to see that so she turned back around and jumped through the well that linked her world to his.

As Inuyasha watched kagome prepare to jump down the well, he felt a ping of sadness. He hated it when she left, aside from kikyo she was the only one who ever made him feel appreciated and needed.

Because of this inuyasha would always protect kagome no-matter what, she was his best friend and he would do anything to keep it that way.

As he squinted at kagome (the sun was in Inuyasha's eyes) she turned to look at him, a sudden gust of wind caught kagome's hair at blew it out behind her.

She was beautiful he realised and with that thought came another. He inuyasha, the lowely half demon loved her, the mesmerising priestess from another world. As this occurred to him Kagome's eyes filled with hurt and sadness, and before he could do anything she turned and disappeared down the bone eaters well.

Kagome squinted. In the well house it was really dark and dusty, outside though it was a cloudless day and kagome had to shield her eyes from the sun because it was so bright.

She sighed, hefted her bag onto her shoulder and headed towards the house.

"Kagome, Is that you?" a voice called as kagome's mother popped her head around the door.

"Kagome it is you!" her mother cried "how are you?".

Kagome smiled in answer to her questions. Her mother then walked out of the house and looked Kagome over, her eyes filled with concern "You look exhausted, how about I run you a bath?"

"that would be really great" Kagome answered

"well, I'm just glad your home dear" her mother commented. It was good to be home with the people who loved her.

Inuyasha's legs couldn't seem to hold him up anymore so he sat in a heap. He stared at the well which kagome had just disappeared down, heart suddenly pounding and his breath short.

He loved her.

Inuyasha just couldn't get that thought out of his head, he loved kagome, I love her. It echoed in his head.

He smiled, he liked that idea, but with it came a new thought.

What about kikyo?

He didn't love her anymore he decided, but that didn't mean he no longer cared for her. When she was still alive she had been kind to Inuyasha and for that he wanted her soul to find peace in the afterlife.

Inuyasha rose, he would deal with this problem before kagome came back, though he thought that he might need some help…

Miroku was laying his freshly painted sutra's on a sunny patch of grass to dry when he sensed a demonic aura nearby. It was a very familiar aura and Miroku immediately recognised it as Inuyasha's, he rose ready to take on the verbal abuse often received after kagome left.

Miroku was pleasantly surprised though when inuyasha walked up to him looking a bit fidgety and nervous

"anything wrong?" he said picking up on Inuyasha's mood immediately.

"I, um, need your help with something" Inuyasha muttered. Miroku was taken aback, but composed himself quickly

"and what would this something be?" he asked slyly.

"Kikyo"

Five days later Inuyasha finally found kikyo's scent, it was faint but it was hers none the less.

The smell sent tingles down his spine, though not the same type of tingles as he used to recieve upon seeing her, then it was tingles of joy and excitement, now it was the type of tingles when the hunt is almost over or when something is on its way to finishing.

It was time for kikyo to leave the world of the living and return to the world of the dead. A smile crept over Inuyasha's face, it had been a while since he'd had a decent challenge.

Not far away from Inuyasha, Miroku stood stretching out his muscles. The monk had been riding on Inuyasha's back the whole time and he couldn't figure out how kagome did it almost every day. Riding on Inuyasha's back was cramped, bumpy and extremely uncomfortable not to mention embarrassing.

He sighed as a smile crept over Inuyasha's face, the monk did not like it one bit. Inuyasha almost never smiled and it was weird to see him do so now. Though he had to admit he was glad that inuyasha had finally made a decision between kagome and kikyo, it was getting very tiresome watching that idiot break kagome's heart every time he ran off in search of kikyo.

Kagome sighed, this happened every time she came back to her own time. She would study as hard as she could back in the feudal era, but unfortunately hunting jewel shards and tending to her friends wounds always got in the way, and not surprisingly she wouldn't be prepared for whatever test popped up while she was home.

"'F-', how could I let this happen" she muttered "Maths, I knew I wouldn't do great at, but I never thought I would fail history. Not under the circumstances anyway"

"What circumstances?" asked Yuka, one of kagome's three friends

"She probably means her grandfathers temple" answered Eri.

Kagome, scolding herself for saying so much, nodded as her three friends peered at her test sheet.

"It's okay kagome, I'll help you on your make up test,. It wasn't like it was that hard" Offered Ayumi

"Easy for you to say you got an 'A' " Muttered Eri, Ayumi blushed at that comment.

"That sounds great" kagome replied, she would need all the help she could get if she was going to pass middle school.

As Kagome trudged down the busy streets on her way back home to her families temple she stared at the picture she kept of Inuyasha. It was a picture of him in his human form, it still amazed her how different he looked without his golden eyes, silver hair and dog-ears.

"Is that him?" asked Eri, startling kagome.

"Who?"

"That cheating boyfriend of yours", kagome stared at Eri, after a minute or so she shifted her gaze back to the photo at her picture of Inuyasha

"I guess…" She muttered

"He's cute" Ayumi put in, she was the only one who ever stuck up for inuyasha out of the three. Kagome smiled. "He is, isn't he?"

For the first time since kikyo's revival inuyasha noticed that her scent was different than how it was before. It wasn't the scent of graveyard soil that was bothering him about it. It was the aura of it all. It smelt more menacing and spiteful.

Inuyasha grimaced at the fact he had never noticed that before.

Kikyo had changed, and in turn so had he.

Inuyasha jumped as Miroku laid a hand on his shoulder, he had been so engrossed in his own thoughts he had not heard the monk approach.

"So you've found Kikyo's scent then?" the monk asked

"Yeh, and its fresh too, not more than a day old" he muttered in return

"I guess you'll want to leave straight away then?"

"Yup"

"Have any idea what you'll do when you see her?"

"Nope",

Miroku sighed, this was typical Inuyasha. Never thinking ahead.
