Chapter 1 I Miss You

(Kagome POV)

The event is still fresh in my mind, I can't sleep I can barely even eat all I can think about is that day. It haunts me in my dreams and all I can see is his pain stricken face. Tears rolled down kagome's cheeks as the memory flashed threw her mind, reminding her of that awful day.

:flashback:

Inuyasha and kagome had just came back both of their faces redder then inuyasha haori. Inuyasha sat on the log while kagome joined the others around the fire.

The night was peaceful and relaxing just what the gang needed till the sky filled with dark clouds. Kilala jumped up transforming in mid air growling up toward the sky

as everyone else got up weapon at ready.

"Do you sense that miroku," miroku nodded his head then looked over in inuyasha's direction.

"Inuyasha you must go run and hide don't let naraku see you in your human form we handle it don't worry."

Inuyasha looked at kagome concern written all over his face, kagome nodded her head and inuyasha mouthed "be careful" before running off into the woods. As soon

as inuyasha was out of sight naraku appeared out of the clouds, simyoshuo around him, kagura to his left and kohaku to his right.

"Naraku"

"ahh monk you seem so happy to see me"

"why is it that you chose now out of all times to show yourself to us."

Naraku smiled and turned his cold eyes in kagome's direction, "don't flatter yourself monk I'm merely here for kikyo's recarnation kagome."

Everyone quickly stood in front of kagome out of naraku's reach,

"I see that inuyasha isn't here with you what a pity, I'm sure he would like to hear news about his beloved kikyo how her face looked when I threw her off of that cliff into the miasma."

Inuyasha held his fists tight growling in the back of his throat, "how dare he do that to kikyo, he isn't going to take kagome away from me that's for sure."

Naraku turned his attention to kagura; she in turn nodded her head bringing her fan up then yelling dance of blades. Causing everyone to split up, kagome sat up

holding her head for she hit it on the ground, she looked up at naraku hearing him laugh. Kagome took this time to shoot an arrow at naraku, "got him," naraku

looked at kagome hate in his eyes "you wench." He lunged forward aiming one of his tentacles at kagome, everyone else was too far away from kagome to help her

all they could do was scream out her name. Kagome braced herself for the impacted but it never came instead she saw something she didn't what to see. Laying in

front of her with a tentacle threw his stomach was inuyasha, she got up and ran to his side as naraku pulled it out causing inuyasha to fall to the ground. Naraku then

disappeared leaving the group; kagome put inuyasha's head in her lap holding him close to her, even though he was in pain he was still smiling at her.

"Kagome….am…so… glad your okay,"

"don't say that you're not leaving me you said you wouldn't remember you said you'd always be there to protect me inuyasha. You can't do that if you die on me, you promised"

inuyasha smiled up at kagome bringing a bloody hand up to her face cupping her cheek in his hand, and with his last breathe he whispered "I'll always be with you kagome."

Inuyasha's eyes then closed the painful expression was no longer on his face he looked peaceful as he laid there in kagome's lap, his hand falling from her face. "Inu…..yasha…..INUYASHA!!"

kagome hugged him close to her crying her eyes out as she held him whispering in his ear for him to come back. Miroku hugged sango close to him as they looked the other way, shippo looked at kagome tears in his own eyes, inuyasha was gone forever...

: End of flashback:

Kagome shook her head to keep herself from crying and continued to walk with her friends back to higurashi shrine.

"Hey kagome it's nice to see that you're back in school now"

"Yeah hojo seems real happy to see that you're getting better and not sick all the time."

Kagome didn't say a word she just walked ahead of them with her head hung down low her bangs covering her eyes. The gang ran up in front of kagome causing her to run into them.

"What's wrong with you kagome, you've been like this since you came back." Kagome looked up to see her friends staring at her, sadness overwhelmed her eyes as kagome stared at them. "Oh no don't tell me her and her two timing boyfriend broke up."

Kagome saw the look her friends were giving her so she put on one of her big fake smiles at them. "Nothing's wrong"

"come on kagome we know you better then that did your two timing boyfriend do something to you?"

Kagome's smile quickly faded away at the thought of inuyasha, she glanced back down towards the ground her bangs covering her eyes once more. "No, he didn't do anything to me I'm sorry guys but I really need to get home"

Kagome looked up once more her fake smile plastered on her face. "Oh… okay if your sure you're alright we'll see you tomorrow," as yuka, eri, and ayumi left kagome could see all the worried and concerned glances her friends were giving her.

Kagome let out a big sigh and continued walking home, her head down low as she walked thinking of only one person.

(Kagome's POV)

It's been two weeks since I've last been to the feudal era and the event is still fresh in my mind. I know I shouldn't of left and that I should go back but I can't it just hurts too much.

:flashback:

It was the night of the new moon; inuyasha was sitting on a rock by the river looking into the water while everyone else sat around the camp fire. Everyone was in deep conversation except kagome she kept staring at inuyasha. She could tell by the look on his face that something was bothering him.

"Are you okay inuyasha," inuyasha was so deep in thought that he didn't even see kagome get up from the camp fire and sit by him. He glanced beside him seeing kagome looking at him with concern in her eyes.

"Keh I'm fine why do you ask anyway," inuyasha didn't look at kagome he continued to stare at the water in the river. "I was just wondering no need to be rude," "there is something bothering you isn't there."

Kagome sighed and laid her head down on inuyasha's shoulder, he face turned red for the close contacted but he leaned in closer anyway. "Kagome…..," kagome got off of his shoulder and looked at inuyasha.

"hmm"

"Could you come with me for a sec"

"um yea"

"I wonder what those two are talking about"

"I have no idea my dear sango."

"Miroku……," sango slapped miroku across the face causing him to fall backwards. "He'll never learn, hey sango I wonder where kagome and inuyasha are going." "Who knows but let's not bother them okay shippo," shippo nodded his head in agreement crawling up in sango's lap watching miroku sit back up on the log.

"I wonder what he's thinking about; he's definitely not acting like himself." Inuyasha finally decided to break the awkward silence with kagome, "you know kagome I've noticed you've been getting a lot stronger and your archery has gotten better."

Kagome smiled, "I see you finally noticed, but what do you expect us running from demons day by day of course I'm going to be stronger."

"Your right we have been threw a lot," inuyasha then got quiet once again till he finally came to a stop and sat down at the bass of a tree. Kagome looked at him raising one eyebrow at him then walked over to him plopping down beside him.

"What's with you today, you've been acting weird all day today."

Inuyasha watched the ground still not making eye contact with kagome. "Inuyasha…," kagome grab his shoulder and squeezed it lightly, he turned his attention to kagome and the look in his eyes made kagome's heart beat even faster in her chest.

"Kagome I….i've just had a lot on my mind lately is all," he then again looked away from her. "What's with him, he drags me all the way out here and then won't talk to me or even look me in the eye."

Kagome got up and sat on her knees in front of him so he'd have to look at her, "what's with you….you drag me all the way out here just so you could ignore me." But before she knew it inuyasha had grabbed her wrist and pulled her into a tight embrace.

Kagome was blushing furiously now, "what's going on," "kagome… we've been through so much together since the first time we've met. Until I met you I never trusted a living soul, I watched you shed tears for my sake, you always stayed by my side.

Whenever I'm with you I feel so peaceful and happy, and when you're away I feel as if a part of me is missing." Kagome took in a deep breath as inuyasha's arms tightened around her, "inu…yasha."

"Kagome I never want you to leave my side and I…..I never want to leave yours." "What are you trying to say inuyasha," "Kagome I want to be with you….I want to spend the rest of my life with you."

Kagome pulled out of inuyasha's arms enough to where she could look him in the eyes, he was serious. "What about kikyo," "kikyo's no longer apart of the living, she's not the same person as she once was, she's grown cold and full of hate; she's not the same woman I once fell in love with."

"Oh inuyasha," tears started to form in kagome's eyes as she wrapped her arms around inuyasha tightly holding him to her. "Hey what's with the tears did I say something wrong?"

"No inuyasha I'm not crying because I'm sad I'm crying because I'm happy it's just I've always wanted you to say that to me is all." Inuyasha smiled and pulled her closer and then whispered in her ear "I love you kagome higurashi."

Kagome gasp she didn't believe what she was hearing, "do you really mean that inuyasha;" kagome was now looking inuyasha directly in the face now. "Keh of course I do, but if you don't want to be with me i'd understand."

Inuyasha looked back down towards the ground when kagome didn't do anything but sit there and look at him. "Oh inuyasha you're so stupid of course I want to be with you, you idiot,"

kagome smiled and threw her arms on him once more whispering in his ear that she loved him too more than anything. Inuyasha looked into kagome's eyes and leaned in further kissing her on the lips, Kagome sat there for a moment but shortly she kissed him back."
