"What will you do, Kagome no Miko-san, if Inuyasha choose Kikyo no Miko-san?"
Kagome looked toward the forest, watching the light glow and Kikyo's Soul Collectors from the distant. She knew Inuyasha was there now…
"Answer me Onna…"
Kagome turned around and looked to Lord Sesshomaru, who stared at her with his cold stare with his golden demonic eyes.
"I don't know…" Kagome looked down, her heart sinking down into her stomach again.
There was silence, until Kagome heard Sesshomaru took in a deep breath.
"If Inuyasha does not choose you as his mate after collecting the jewel, will you come with me instead?"
Kagome, in shocked, looked up at Sesshomaru, who was looking at where she was looking at a moment ago.
"Nani?"
"Rin needs a mother, a human mother. She knows you and she has grown fond for you since you had rescued her several times in the past. Once Naraku is destroyed, you have your jewel, and Inuyasha does not choose you for his mate, will you be mine?"
Kagome smiled at him.
'He is going all lengths for Rin…he has changed. His Father would be so proud…'
And without thinking Kagome said…
"Hai, Sesshomaru. If Inuyasha does not choose me, I will be glad to go with you and help you raise Rin."
Sesshomaru looked back at her, a bit shocked as well that she would agree. He then nodded and turned to leave.
"Do I have your word?"
"Hai."
And with that, Sesshomaru left.
Kagome looked back at the Kikyo's glow. She was damn sure that Inuyasha would choose her over Kikyo. Inuyasha knew Kikyo is only a clay pot. As much as she would like to help Sesshomaru, she knew where her heart lied. With Inuyasha. And surely, deep down, he really wants her.
Kagome then hadn't seen Sesshomaru until the Great Battle…
"Look out Kagome!" Inuyasha shouted as Naraku's poisonous bees started to fly at her.
They were killed in an instant and she was grabbed, brought to safe in a white blur.
"Eh?" Kagome looked up to see her rescuer, Lord Sesshomaru.
He landed beside Inuyasha and placed Kagome down gently.
"You're late." Inuyasha snapped.
"This Sesshomaru is never late…everyone is simply early." Sesshomaru looked down at Kagome, studying her, making sure she wasn't hurt.
"Arigato Sesshomaru. Especially for coming." Kagome smiled at him, grabbing another arrow and turning to face the gigantic demon, Naraku. "Best way to get him is you and Inuyasha attacking Naraku head on. I will then get by him to get to the baby Naraku."
"You sure?" Inuyasha looked at her nervously.
"I will help distract him, Kagome-san."
All three of them turned around to see Kikyo, drawing an arrow.
Kagome just nodded.
"Then go."
Sesshomaru drew his Toukijin and flew at Naraku. Inuyasha growled, saying something close to 'wait up' and followed suit. Kikyo then followed, releasing an arrow on him. Kagome slowly made her way, step by step. Trying not to bring attention to her. Soon Sango, Miroku and Koga had arrived and helped the other three in their battle for Naraku's attention. Kagome then quickly moved to behind Naraku where Kanna and Kagura protected the baby. With quick snap of her wrist and fan the wind destroyed the bow and arrows.
"As much I would love for you to win, I cannot let you." Kagura sighed.
Kanna then started to turn the mirror towards Kagome. Kagome glared at her.
"Not today!" And before Kagome even knew was she was doing, she posed like she was aiming with an invisible bow and arrow.
Kagura chuckled.
"Someone is off their rocker today-"But when Kagome acted like she released something, the mirror cracked and broke into thousands of pieces.
Kanna, showing true emotion for the first time, looked up at her sister, is fear. Kagura looked up to make another attack on Kagome but she felt a thrust into her free arm. She looked down to see a purple glow shaped like an arrow into the chest of the baby she carried.
"Eh?" The giant youkai turned around to see what was done.
Kagome made another pose and let go, making another purity arrow out of thin air. It hit the baby again and Naraku roared and attempted to turn around to attack kagome. But soon Inuyasha and Sesshomaru, along with their friends, gave the final blow to Naraku. Kagome slowly then walked over to Kagura and took the baby from her. Kagura backed away in fear, picking up Kanna.
Kagome grabbed hold of the arrows, sticking out of the baby's chest.
"I need my Shikon no tama back." Then Kagome thrust the arrows deeper into the child.
The child gave out this horror able scream and they were soon covered in a blinding purple light. Naraku froze to the spot and started to melt away, dropping the last of the Shikon No Tama. Everyone watched the blinding light. Kikyo started to walk up and reach for the Shikon no Tama until an arrow landed at her feet.
Kikyo looked up to see Kagome coming out of the light and still glowing herself.
"I believe, Kikyo that belongs to me." Kagome then walked slowly and picked up the Shikon no Tama, destroying the negative energy within it.
She then looked to Koga, holding out her hand.
"I am sorry."
Koga sighed and took out his shards from his legs. He then walked over to her and handed them to her. Kagome then looked to Kohaku and motioned him to see her. Sango panicked and attempted to stop him, but Miroku stopped her. Kagome then carefully removes the shard then laid Kohaku on the ground, who, started to die slowly. Kagome then placed her part of the jewel with everyone else's pieces. Again Kagome started to glow, brighter than before.
Kagome then looked to Kohaku.
"Sango, I will grant you the wish for the life of your brother." Kagome then kneeled back and healed Kohaku.
Kohaku then stood up and ran to his sister happily.
"Arigato! Kagome-chan!"
Kagome then looked to Sesshomaru and walked over to him.
"You wish is having your arm replaced." Kagome then reached out to his left arm, as if holding his hand.
Then, with another blinding, only this time yellow, light, Sesshomaru's arm appears. Kagome then turned to Miroku, who Miroku hold held up his no longer cursed hand.
"There is nothing you want?"
Miroku looked over to Sango and her little brother.
"No. I have everything I wanted."
Kagome nodded and she turns to Kikyo. She frowns.
"Sadly, I cannot grant your wish. Since it will cause my death and being the new protector of the Shikon no Tama, I cannot end my life."
Kikyo narrows her eyes at Kagome and just slowly backs away, scared to be destroyed my Kagome's touch. Kagome then turned to Inuyasha. Inuyasha blinked and tried to look away from Kagome's eyes, trying not to show her what his wish is. But Kagome could already read it from him, her eyes locked onto his and Kagome could read the many wishes he had. Her glow then faded away.
"Kagome-sama, what about your wish?" Miroku asked, knowing it was a waste of time to worry about Inuyasha's.
Kagome just smiled.
"I am going to keep the Bone Eater's Well open. As long as I have the Shikon no Tama I can return here to see you all."
"You're going home?" Inuyasha stepped forward, one thing was for sure, and he didn't want her to leave.
"She still has things here she must fulfill." Everyone turned to look at Sesshomaru.
Kagome blinked and she smiled sadly at Sesshomaru.
'He isn't going to let me off…'
"Arigato-gozai-masu Miko." Sesshomaru held up his reborn arm. "Next time ask what I want and not assume."
And with that Sesshomaru left, without any other words.
The gang went back to Kaede's village and had a huge celebration. And the people cheered on Kagome, once they showed them the full Shikon no Tama. Of course they worried about Inuyasha stealing it again but he had reassured them that as long as Kagome held the Shikon no Tama, he wouldn't go mad again. Kagome then took Inuyasha's hand and had leaded him away from the others. She brought him to his forest and they got to the Kami Tree.
"It's been…what five years?" Kagome smiled at him.
Inuyasha's grip on her hand got tighter and he grinned at her.
"That's it? Only five? I thought the trip will never end!"
Kagome giggled and she hugged him. Inuyasha got tensed, again unsure what to do, but sensing Kikyo wasn't around he embraced her back and nuzzled his nose into her ebony hair.
"I am going to stay here…and live here." Kagome whispered, as she clings to his hatori.
Inuyasha couldn't help but smile. He held her tight; only one thing ran on his mind.
'She's mine. She's mine.'
"Inuyasha…" Kagome looked up at him, her chocolate brown eyes glittering with so many emotions.
Inuyasha looked down at her, ready to listen to what she had to say. But his ears twitched as hearing a sigh from one of Kikyo's Soul Stealers.
"Kagome, just hold that thought for a moment." Inuyasha looked up, searching around.
He quickly dropped the embrace and started to back away from her. But Kagome wasn't letting go.
"No! I don't care! Your going to listen to me, I don't care if she is here and listening!"
Inuyasha looked down at Kagome.
"You know she's here?"
"I sensed her presence since the party started." Kagome explained, Inuyasha was wowed by her new powers.
He felt Kikyo's eyes watched them, listening in and Inuyasha didn't want her to see this.
She dead. His soul told him.
'To me she's not!'
Inuyasha looked down, trying to think what to do. Kagome just watched him, her heart slowly breaking. She reached up and grabbed his hair and forced him to look at her.
"I want to stay here Inuyasha! I want to stay here because I love you! And if you want me to stay then tell me!" Kagome then stood on her tip-toes and let her lips touched Inuyasha's.
Inuyasha, not having many kisses before, let himself kiss back, but his arms shook, he couldn't hug her. She was watching.
Once the kiss ended Kagome looked up at Inuyasha, with longing.
"Tell me." She whispered.
He looked at Kagome and his heart was tearing. One half going to her and the other half going to Kikyo.
"How touching." A cold voice said.
Inuyasha had looked passed Kagome and he went rigged. Kagome turned around and glared.
"You know, this isn't any of your business." Kagome snapped. "And did I not tell you earlier today to stay away from my village and Inuyasha's forest?"
Kikyo, stood, leaning against a tree. She smiled, knowing she was causing Kagome discomfort from Inuyasha's behavior.
"I do not have to listen to your orders. Besides, when did my village became yours?"
"When your village named me High Priestess."
Even though she had no heart, it still hurt. She was planning on getting Inuyasha's feelings to push Kagome away and once she was gone she could settle back home again. But if what was said was true, Kikyo then would be seen as a youkai. Kagome was spoiling her plans. Well Kagome will get what's coming to her.
Kikyo placed loneliness behind her eyes, which Inuyasha started to react to it.
"Inuyasha…then I hope…you are only happy with Kagome…"
"Kikyo, you don't understand!" Inuyasha shouted, pushing past Kagome and walking slowly and caiously to Kikyo.
Kagome's breath was taken away when she saw Inuyasha past her. She watched, feeling Inuyasha taking away her life with him as he got closer to Kikyo. She had just confessed her feelings to him…she kissed him…it wasn't enough. It wasn't enough to keep Inuyasha. Being the new priestess…stay in the Feudal Era…nothing kept him to her. Then Kagome realized.
'He's not mine…' Tear started to blur her vision. '…He's not mine…'
Inuyasha stopped in his track, smelling the salty tears coming from behind him. Then he replayed what Kagome said to him.
"I want to stay here because I love you!"
Inuyasha turned around to see only branches from low trees, that seemed to sway lightly as someone had just pushed past them.
She used her powers to hide her scent so he wouldn't follow. How couldn't she not see this coming? She knew better, she knew better than to tell her feelings to Inuyasha. He was still too torn between them. But it hurt the most when he walked passed her and trying to hush her from telling him her feelings when he knew Kikyo was there. It was stupid move, bold, but stupid move. But Kagome had to make sure, why? Because…she needed a real strong reason to stay in the Feudal Era. But since she didn't…
She had made it to the Bone Eater's Well. She looked down into the well, trying to think of the good things back at home. Oden, Mama, Sota, Grandpa, warm bed, heated showers, no Inuyasha…tears started to stream from her eyes and Kagome fell to her knees.
Her head rested against the edge of the well. She didn't want to go back…but she didn't want to see Inuyasha again.
"He had made his decision already?"
Kagome looked up over the well to see Sesshomaru walking out from the shadows. She didn't answer her, just looked at him sadly, which caused Sesshomaru to stop in his tracks. He sensed her aura, it was overwhelming. Not only can he see, he actually felt her pain. His own heart ached just as bad as Kagome's.
Kagome stood up and walked around the well towards him. Once away from the well she broke into a run and jumped onto Sesshomaru, her tears glittering the air. Sesshomaru caught her and winced, not use to this type of affection, but his thought changed when he looked down to look at her. She sobbed uncontrollably, clinging to his robe, bearing her face deep into his kimono.
'Love is this painful?' And for one, his heart went out to her.
He wrapped his arms around her, petting her hair, rubbing down her back. And within that moment he started to growl, which Kagome stopped and looked up at him.
"Sesshomaru could kill him for you." Sesshomaru said.
Kagome shook her head.
"Let's just go…"
"You spoil him." Sesshomaru said, sinking back into the Ice Prince.
Kagome just placed her face back into his chest.
"You would too…if you were ever in love…" She mumbled, enough for him to hear.
"Such a foolish thing. This Sesshomaru would never fall for such things. Now come, Rin awaits for you."
Before Kagome knew what was happening she was in Sesshomaru's arms and they started to float away from Inuyasha's Forest and Kaede's Village on a cloud.
What Will You Do?
Episode One:
Kon'nichi Wa Okaa-sama!
Birds that laid on top of a window's ledge, looked into a bright colorful room. They sang their song, trying to raise up the lady who was sleeping in. Kagome groaned and turned to look at the window, seeing the birds. She glared at them and cursed the morning sun.
"Doesn't anyone understand the meaning of having a bad night?" Kagome, pushes herself to get up on her knees.
She then slide off the bed, and walked to the window. She opened it and hissed at the birds.
"Hush! Can't I sleep in peace?"
The birds flew away quickly and into a near-by white sakura tree. They giggled into their song and refused to stop singing. Kagome just glared at the tree, making a note to herself to tear it down. She then sighed and leaned against the window sill. She looked out, what looked like, a veranda. Youkai servants had a large white table set up for breakfast. And in a moment they stopped moving and bowed gracefully. A tall figure, wearing a long sky blue kimono, came out from inside and made it out onto the veranda. A servant male pulled back a seat and let the tall figure sit.
"Is there anything you need, Sesshomaru no dono-sama?" The male servant asked, again bowing gracefully after helping his Dono-sama to sit.
"Have the chamber maids attend Kagome no Miko bathe and dressed. I wish for her to join me at breakfast to discuss Wedding Details." Then after the servant bowing and walking off, Sesshomaru looked up to see Kagome watching him.
Kagome gasped and backed away from the window and leaning against the bed.
'That's right…I went with Sesshomaru last night…' Then Kagome started to notice her surroundings.
Her chambers were huge, and very Western civilation than eastern. Her bed was large and a European Canopy. Her sheets were of light satin and Egyptian cotton pink. The rug, also matching the bed spread, was soft, reminding her of Sesshomaru's tail.
'His tail…' Kagome blushed, remember nuzzling into it during her trip here.
She walked away from the bed into the center of the room. Kagome looked up to see the ceiling. It looked like something carved from the Roman Empire. The ceiling and walls were white. In the four corners of the room, where Roman Pillars and at the stop of the pillars were carved inu no youkais. The bottoms were in shaped as paws with long claws. There were three doors. One door, across from her bed, lead into a large bathroom with a private roman bath. To the left of her bed where thousands of clothing, and of different origin. And along the wall to the right of her bed was another door where three youkai ladies walked in.
There was an older lady, about Kaede's height, wearing a gray servant kimono. To the right of her was a lady, about Kikyo's age or older (21?). She wore a fancier kimono of dark blue. She had her hair up neatly in a bun, looking almost geisha like. Then there was a young girl beside her, wearing a matching kimono to the elder lady. They were all Cat youkai because of their grace entering the room and their long cream color tails coming out from the bottom of the kimonos.
"Miko-sama, watashi wa Jedzebel. I will be your Lady in Waiting. And these are-"Motioning to the elder woman first." Kayede-san and Kiyo-san, your Chamber maids."
Kagome bowed.
"Yoroshiku, Jedzebel-san, Kayede-san, and Kiyo-san."
The two ladies bowed, but didn't say a word. Jedzebel held her head high and her little pink kitty nose wiggled, as if she smelled something bad. She then circled Kagome, studying her from head to toe.
"You can call me Kagome…no reason to be formal-"
"Pardon me, Miko-san, if it was in our power to be informal to you, then we would not be here before you. However, I am here to make your stay here comfortable." Jedzebel sneered and came to the front of Kagome and sighed. "Kayede-san, get me something light and flowy for Kagome to wear. Something in pale green…"
Kagome looked down at her clothes.
'Crap…I'm still in my school uniform.'
"Kiyo-san, get Miko-san's bath heated up." The two chamber maids left then came back.
Kayede returned with a pale green renaissance dress. It had long flowy sleeves and it came out to a light train in the back. She held it out to Kagome and leaned in closer for a better look. On the edges of the sleeves and hem where hand-stitched pink flowers. To Kagome it was breath-taking. She never wore anything European before.
"Kawaii…" Kagome gasped.
But the dress was taken away and laid out on the bed. Kiyo then came out and bowed before Kagome.
"Miko-sama's bath is ready."
Jedzebel then started pushing Kagome towards the bathroom.
"Now, my Lady take a nice relax bath and we'll-"
"What do I do with my uniform?"
"Just toss it on the floor and I will have it cleaned. After your bath-"
"Really? That's so nice of you-"
"Yes, well that is my job Miko-san."
Before Kagome knew it she was tossed into the bathroom and the door shut slammed behind her. Kagome turned around and sighed. It was noticeable she wasn't liked, most likely because she was human.
After Kagome's bath Kagome was then pulled into the bedroom where the three girls started their job. Kayede had the task of dressing her, Jedzebel did her make-up and Kiyo did her hair. Kagome then looked at herself in the mirror on the bathroom door.
"Sugoi! I look like a princess!" Kagome turned in a circle.
"You are going to be the Lady of the Western Lands, only the best for Sesshomaru-sama's fiancé." Kiyo giggled and smiled, showing some true emotion.
She was then silenced quickly with a slap across the face by Jedzebel. She bared her fangs but then cleared her throat and calmed down. She turns to Kagome and bowed.
"Come, Miko-san, Sesshomaru no dono-sama waits."
Kagome ignored Jedzebel and walked over to Kiyo. She lifted up the girl's chin and saw the dark red mark on her face. Tears were in the girl's eyes.
"Hush, its ok Kiyo-chan." Kagome glared at Jedzebel. "What is your problem? You didn't have to hit her?"
Kagome then grinned; remember what was setting Jedzebel in this bad mood.
"Or is it because you're that jealous that I'm marrying Sesshomaru?"
Jedzebel looked up form her bow and her bright yellow eyes narrow and zoom in on Kagome. She sneered at her, showing off her fangs.
"You are not worth of our Lord." Jedzebel hissed.
"And like you are?" Kagome pet Kiyo on the head and grinned at Jedzebel.
Jedzebel then out stretched her arms, she extended her claws. Kayede got in front of Kagome.
"Jedzebel-san! We cannot harm her! Sesshomaru-sama will be angry if she's-"
"She is a human! This miko-witch….must of placed a spell on him…"
"And why would I do that?" Kagome snapped.
"Please Kagome-sama! Jedzebel-san!"
"Don't call her sama! She is a human!"
"You have every right to use the word 'sama'. She is, after all, going to be my Wife." A cold, slowly voice had entered the room.
Kiyo and Kayede went on there knees quickly and bowed to the voice behind Jedzebel. Jedzebel quickly stood up straight, reclaim her claws to her finger tips and gave the same bow. Kagome looked up to see Sesshomaru. He looked at her and gave her a cold stare.
"You were taken a long time. Rin is waiting downstairs."
"Gomen-ne…" Kagome blushed a little. "But I had trouble with Jedzebel."
"Jedzebel?" Sesshomaru's golden eyes felt onto the youkai cat in front of him. Jedzebel's fur on her tail stood up on end and she looked up to met his fierce eyes.
"I…I can explain my Lord…"
"You can explain to me later. But for know you shall treat Kagome no miko-san respect." He then turned and started walking away. "Come, Kagome."
Kagome hesitated but then started to follow him out of the room and down the hall.
Once she made it out of the veranda she saw trays and servants around the table she saw earlier. There a little girl dressed in a Sun-kissed Yukata sat between two other empty chairs.
"Otou-sama!" She giggled and waved. "Ohayo-gozai-masu Kagome-sama!"
Kagome smiled and took her seat by the little girl's left.
"Ohayo, Rin-chan."
Rin blushed and smiled.
"You remember me?"
"Of course, how can I forget such a kawaii little girl!" Kagome then leaned over and tickled Rin's side.
Sesshomaru sat down but was ignored the entire breakfast. He watched both girls interact with each other. Kagome started telling the story of the last battle with Naraku. Rin watched closely, hanging onto every word. Sesshomaru smiled a bit. He knew this was a great idea. The bond started to come together.
"Then, as Naraku's bees started flying towards me they were slashed to pieces and with a flash of blur and fur I was picked up and brought safely to Inuyasha."
"Who was it!" Rin all excited.
Kagome looked up at Sesshomaru, catching him smiling. Eh? Smiling?
Sesshomaru kept the small smile since Rin turned to look at him.
"Was that you Otou-sama?"
He reached over and patted Rin's head.
"Hai. It seemed the Miko needed protection." A servant then came and poured more ice tea into his cup.
Sesshomaru then picked up the cup and took a sip.
"Why not continue the story later. Besides we have to make plans for a wedding in three days."
"Three days? That isn't enough time to-"Kagome was silenced by his eyes.
The softness it had a moment go, must have been only for Rin's sake. Sesshomaru's glare was now for her. Kagome looked down.
'He thinks I am trying to delay it…'
"Wedding…needs time and perfection. I would like my wedding to be everything I dreamed of." Kagome looked back up, to see Sesshomaru looking boredly over to his left.
"It shall be traditional." He motioned over another servant.
The servant bowed, took out a note book and started writing.
"Traditional Japanese. Kagome will wear a white, silver and sky blue Kimono."
"Blue? I would-"Again his eyes narrowed down at her quickly, this time giving last warning for silence.
Kagome looked down.
'So this is it? I am getting married and I have no part in my own wedding but to be the bride? I rather not marry at all.'
"Kagome-sama…will it be alright if I can call you…Okaa-sama?" Rin asked nervously, looking down at her plate.
Kagome looked over sadly and nodded.
"Of course…that's why I am here…"
'To be some private babysitter…' Kagome stared down at her food and ate in silence.
Sesshomaru's and Rin's voice started to sound distance to her. And for the first time, she really wanted to go home to her own time.
Kagome was lead through-out the palace. Some places were glittered with Roman, Greek, Chinese, French, European settings. She never seen anything so Multi-Cultural before. They had settled in the English "tea room", having late morning tea when Sesshomaru finally finished with the servant who was writing notes.
"-And that will be all." Sesshomaru then waved his hand at him to leave.
The servant left, mostly running, knowing he had a lot of shit ahead of him. Kagome watched him leave in a hurry and sighed.
'He didn't even ask if I wanted to invite my own family…he surely invited a lot of people…' Kagome looked at Sesshomaru, who had Rin in his lap.
Rin was nuzzled up against him, holding the tip of his tail in her arms. She buried her face into the fur and giggled, as it tickled her face. Sesshomaru leaned back in his chair, watching, smiling down at her.
These few moments, with Rin, where the only time Sesshomaru ever really smiled. Kagome was so amazed how just saving a little girl's life changed him. But of course, the emotions melted away once his eyes meet with Kagome's.
'How can a youkai love a human child but can't stand its human mother?' Kagome asked, and looked away from the pair.
"I would like to return to my own time…to introduce to my family to Rin and to tell them about the wedding. Since they were not invited, I had the right to tell them. Besides, I wish to pick up a few of my things." Kagome stated out of the blue.
Rin, hearing about herself being tagged along smiled at Kagome.
"Yay! Otou-sama, will you be joining us?"
Kagome felt his angry eyes on her. But she didn't bother looking his way. She just stood up.
"Inuyasha will get wind of this wedding. Being selfish he might use you and Rin has hostages. I will not place my daughter in any-"
"He's not there." Kagome turns to look at him.
"How do you know?"
Kagome's sad chocolate eyes, stared into Sesshomaru's golden, ice cold, ones. Sesshomaru was then taken back.
'Is this girl unhappy?'
"Okaa-sama?" Rin got off Sesshomaru's lap and walked over to Kagome.
Sesshomaru watched as the little girl took Kagome's hand.
"You miss your family don't you?"
Kagome looked at Rin and quickly covered her sadness. Kagome kneeled down and hugged Rin.
"Yeah…just a little bit."
'She's lying…' The Inu Youkai could smell it. 'It's something more…'
"After the Wedding…" Sesshomaru said, out of the blue. "I will take you to your Well. And you both may go."
Inuyasha returned to the village that morning, thinking of what happened last night.
'Kagome…said she loved me…And I ignored her…What's wrong with me!'
"Inuyasha!" Sango and Miroku ran up to him, grinning ear to ear.
"You sly dog!" Miroku, once reached him, punched him in the arm.
"Ouch! What was that for?" Inuyasha growled at him.
"You and Kagome…so what happened last night?" Miroku got in Inuyasha's face.
Sango stood there looking around as Inuyasha punched Miroku in the face.
"Where is Kagome-chan?"
Inuyasha looked back at Sango.
"You mean she isn't here?"
Sango shook her head.
"No. We saw her leave with you…" Sango frowned at him. "What happened last night?"
Inuyasha's heart panicked.
"I want to stay here because I love you!"
"Kagome is going back…" Inuyasha jumped up and started gliding towards the Bone Eater's Well.
Sango and Miroku followed closely behind.
When all the three got there, Inuyasha stood on the edge of the Well, but looking west.
"What's the matter? Go and get her Inuyasha!" Sango snapped.
"She didn't go home…" Inuyasha said.
"What do you mean?" Miroku asked.
"Her scent is near the well…but there is another…" Inuyasha jumped down and leaned over to sniff the ground. "Sesshomaru…Sesshomaru was here!"
A deep growl came into his throat. Inuyasha stood up and continued to look west.
"He took her…their scents are mixed."
"Why would Kagome go with Sesshomaru?" Sango looked up at Miroku.
"Most likely he took her by force…but…for what?" Miroku walked over to Inuyasha. "But first…the real question, why did Kagome wanted to go home?"
Inuyasha looked down, still growling. He wanted to run and pound Sesshomaru to bits. He was touching his Kagome…
"Inuyasha." Miroku said softly. "Tell us…what happened last night?"
Inuyasha stopped growling, but kept looking down.
"Kag-Kagome…told me she loved me…she said I was her only reason to stay in this era…but Kikyo came…Kagome wanted my attention…and Kikyo…I couldn't tell Kagome while Kikyo was there…so I pushed Kagome aside."
Before anyone knew it Inuyasha could smell salty tears and a demon bone as it whacked him upside the head.
"You rejected Kagome-chan! All for a dead clay pot!" Sango raised her boomerang to hit him again until Miroku stopped her.
"Calm down Sango!"
"Iie! Kagome-chan told me she was gonna tell him last night! Her heart was so set! I can't believe…I can't believe Inuyasha would choose-"
"I didn't choose!" Inuyasha snapped, rubbing the place she hit. "I just moved away from her…that's all…"
"That is still saying no! Sesshomaru had the right-"Sango then realized what she was gonna say.
She stopped and pulled away from Miroku.
'I can't tell them Kagome's secret.'
"What about Sesshomaru?" Miroku asked.
"I said I bet Sesshomaru is a more caring demon that Inuyasha is." Sango glared daggers at the hanyou.
The Hanyou growled.
"I care about Kagome!"
"'Caring' and 'Loving' are two different things! Why not say it Inuyasha? You don't love Kagome. You love Kikyo." Sango spat.
Inuyasha looked at his friend, seeing no sympathy from her. But he sighed and turned his back against her.
'She's right…I should of told Kagome when I had the chance…I shouldn't push Kagome away…she would close the Well…and I would never see her again…'
"I am going to get Kagome."
"We'll go with you." Miroku said.
"No…" Inuyasha looked at them sadly. "I have to do this on my own…"
Miroku smiled and nodded.
"Understood. Send us word if you decide you need help."
And with that Inuyasha jumped into the air and glided off towards the West.
