Recovering Love

The scene starts with Inu-Yasha and Kagome fighting.(What else is new?) But now, Kagome's finally going to tell Inu-Yasha what she thinks.

Talking: "whatever"

Thoughts: 'whatever'

Emphasis will be in capitals(if anyone knows the thing to put words in italics, tell me please)

POV: Point of view (I probably won't use this often, if at all)

I don't actually know how old Kagome was when she fell in the well. Sorry about that.

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the Inu-Yasha characters. If I did, I would be spending my money, working on making Inu-Yasha a real person. drools I do own the plotline, but it's not that good anyways. And yes I know, Inu-Yasha isn't really that emotional, but if you experienced a trauma, how would you act?

"Feh, you're nothing but a little girl." Inu-Yasha said. He inwardly cringed. 'Why the hell did I say that? Now she's just gonna cry. Smart move Inu-Yasha. Why can't I just say how I feel?' He waited.

Kagome stood there. She supported him for all this time. For three years. She was 18 now, the jewel was complete, and he still didn't respect her. There were no tears this time, she had made up her mind. She stood up straight and looked right into his eyes. She was shorter than him, sure. But she still tried, and it worked.

"A little girl," she said, her voice quiet and shaking with anger. "A little girl... Well let me tell you something Inu-Yasha!!" she told him, her voice rising. "I may be a little girl, but you are a self-centered, arrogant, stupid jerk! You don't care for anyone but yourself! Well you know what? I may be a little girl, but you... you are just a immature... PUPPY!!!" she screamed and Inu-Yasha's eyes widened. "I don't even know why I bother anymore! The jewel's been complete for months! And yet you still haven't realized why I'm still here! You... You're so... thickheaded!" she calmed down a little, and Inu-Yasha was still just standing there. She shut her eyes tightly and said in a thick voice. "Fine... Fine... You wanna know something? I don't care. I don't care anymore! I'm leaving!"

At this Inu-Yasha calmed down a bit, Kagome always came back. But he froze at her next words. "And I'm not coming back. Miroku, Sango, Shippo, I'm sorry but I can't stay here." She reached for something at her neck and they all wondered what she was doing. She jerked her hand outwards and they all heard a 'snap'. She threw it down and the jewel landed at Inu-yasha's feet. Kagome took one last look at them, ran to the well and jumped in.

Reactions were different. Sango gasped and then cried, Miroku comforted her, but there was a slight showing of tears in his eyes too. Shippo, on the other hand, had finished crying, and was now walking up to the still-frozen Inu-Yasha. His face was downwards, so noone could see his expression.

"Are you happy now?" Shippo asked. Miroku and Sango looked at him. "She was my MOTHER! And now she's gone! And it's all your fault!" he paused, still shaking with rage. Then he screamed at him. "Why don't you answer me?!!"

Inu-Yasha picked up the jewel, stowed it in his pocket and slowly lifted his head. When the group saw it, they all gasped. Inu-Yasha's face was a mask of contorted pain, anguish, torment, regret and sorrow. There were streams of tears pouring down his face. It was the single-most horrible thing they had ever seen in their life.

He whispered, "It's my fault, it's all my fault. I'm so sorry." Then he ran off, leaving the group.

Kagome had been at home for two weeks now, and at the moment, she was in her room, thinking.

'That stupid, arrogant jerk. Why do I put up with it? Why? God... How stupid is that question? I love him, that's why.' Then what she had done dawned on her. She had thrown the jewel on the ground in her anger. The well wouldn't work anymore! 'Oh my god!!'

She ran back to the well and jumped in. There was no glowing light, and she hit the ground with a thud.

"Oww." she moaned rubbing her backside. She froze. It wouldn't work. Oh god, it wouldn't work! She was trapped here! She would never see him again!

At these thoughts, Kagome wept bitterly, her cries echoing through the well.

"Inu-Yasha... Inu-Yasha... I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. Please, help me. Please! INU-YASHA!!!" She screamed, tears pouring down her face.

Inu-Yasha on the other hand had sat in the God's Tree, near the well. His eyes never left the well, but stared with a glazed look. He kept fingering the jewel and repeating, "It's my fault, it's all my fault. I'm so sorry." Over and over again.

Sango, Miroku, and even Shippo had come to console him and bring him food. He never ate and the food was taken back after a while.

The three companions were, at the moment, sitting in Kaede's hut.

"He's been like this since she left. Why can't he just go get her?" Shippo asked with him childlike-curiousity.

"Inu-Yasha is still under shock. He's experiencing anguish and sorrow of an unimaginable rate," Miroku told the fox. "And I suspect he's contemplating Kagome's words. We, on the other hand, cannot do anything more than what we are doing, so I suggest we go to bed." At his words, Shippo blew out the candle. And Sango, who had been listening to the two boys conversation, huddled deeper in her blanket and whispered, "I hope she can come back soon."

"Don't we all." Miroku whispered, his voice muffled by a pillow.

The next day, Inu-Yasha thought he heard something. And, for the first time in days, moved from his spot in the God's Tree. He jumped to the well, and looked inside, but, seeing nothing, turned around and started to walk away. Then, he heard it again, a muffled cry. He looked in the well and saw nothing again, but he did hear something.

"Inu-Yasha," he jumped. 'That's Kagome's voice!' "Inu-Yasha..." he heard again and he listened more intently. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry," 'She's sorry? But it was my fault!' "Please, help me," 'Help her? What does she mean? Wait, could she, does she want me to come get her? "Please! INU-YASHA!!!" he cry reverberated through his head, and, making up his mind, he jumped in the well.

The familiar bluish glow greeted him and he landed in the well in the future. He realized though, that he was not alone. He recognized the scent.

"Kagome," he whispered and she jumped up. She looked at him and gasped. "Kagome... I... I'm so..." He didn't get to finish. Kagome had jumped onto him and wrapped her arms around his neck tightly. She was still sobbing.

"Inu-Yasha... You came." she said through her thick voice.

"Of course," he told her. "Kagome," he said, looking in her eyes. "I'm so sorry."

"Oh Inu-Yasha, I forgive you. I was so stupid!" she said.

"I think we both were." he said, and she giggled.

At that moment, they both became VERY aware of how little space was inbetween them.

"Kagome." Inu-Yasha whispered. He moved in closer and carefully placed his lips on hers.

Kagome could barely think straight. Her first kiss, and it was from Inu-Yasha! She sighed a little.

He pushed a little harder, with more passion, and Kagome responded. He deepened the kiss and they stood there. After a while, they parted and Inu-Yasha smiled and said, "I suppose we should get back huh?" Kagome nodded with a little bit of saddness in her eyes. Inu-Yasha saw this and then told her, "Well I suppose there's no rush..." And with these words, they kissed again.

Yes, I know, mushy-fluffness. I'm sorry, that's just how I work. I know it's not very good either, but it's my first story. Review!!! It boosts my moral support! If you don't I'll get the "evil monkey from the closet" off of Family Guy to come and eat your brain.
