It was another morning in the feudal era

Kagome woke up with tears in her eyes. Today was the day. Today she was to remove Inuyasha from her prayer beads and seal the well for good.

'I guess I don't really need to tell Inuyasha how I feel about him. I mean he was practically begging Kikyo to stay with him. Unless he just wanted to say good-bye, no, he wants her. Not me. It hurts too much'

She put a faint smile on her face at her thoughts. She stood up to one of the windows and saw a thin ray of light crawl into the hut. 'I can't have Inuyasha see me like this! And I most definitely can't look at Inuyasha right now.'

And at that she walked out of the hut spotting Inuyasha on a tree branch. She felt her eyes fill with tears once more and she went running into the forest...towards the well.

Catching her scent, Inuyasha woke up; he too troubled with his thoughts. "Kagome?" Blinking, Inuyasha looked up just in time to see the back of Kagome run into the forest. Without hesitation, he leapt up from the tree and followed Kagome, and was shocked to see where she was heading. 'She's not going to leave is she?!'

With her head in her hands she skidded to a stop in front of the well. 'Now that the jewel is purified, I guess I could give it to Inuyasha so he can become a full fledged demon, like he's always whined about before, since I have no use for it.' She bit back her sobs as she moved towards the well she was suddenly stopped, and gasped as a familiar shape flashed in front of her face.

Inuyasha grabbed her by the shoulders and said ", WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING KAGOME!!!"

She flinched as she realized just how loud and mad Inuyasha's voice was.

"Inuyasha..." she then looked down at her feet, and then met with his mad gaze, which suddenly looked concerned. She took hold of his prayer beads and started to lift them off his head when a pair of hands again stopped her.

"You haven't answered my question yet."

She smiled at this. "Why are you suddenly concerned? I'm just your shard detector after all, right? Kikyo still means more to you and I am still just a companion, right? You've never felt anything more of me then a companion...ISN'T THAT RIGHT INUYAHSHA?!?!"

Inuyasha was left shocked at what she had said, and was still trying to absorb some of her words.

Her head still looking down at her feet, she started to sob again.

"I knew it, Inuyasha"

"Huh? Knew what?" Inuyasha said as he tried to catch a glimpse at her eyes.

"Oh, never mind. It's not like you care remember? Ummm...I'm leaving okay? This time, for good." She looked up to meet his gaze, only to find his eyes with no emotion to them at all. 'And yet he still doesn't care.'

She yanked the prayer beads over his head, removing the incantation on him.

"I want you to have this so you can forget that a pathetic human like me ever entered your life, okay?" she shoved the jewel in his hand, and then stalked off to the well.

"My grandfather will seal the well for me."

She grabbed onto a vine until a certain voice caught her by surprise.

"C'mon Kagome enough of this, tell me what's REALLY bothering you."

"no"

"Kagome, c'mon Kagome....Kagome.....wake up already!" Inuyasha said while shaking her shoulders.

Kagome blinked a few times to clear her vision a bit. "Inuyasha?"

"Yeah?"

Kagome blushed a couple shades of red when she saw how close Inuyasha's face was to hers. "Umm...how long have I been sleeping"

"Oh, uh... not very long? I just woke you because you tearing in your sleep."

"So, you were concerned?"

"FEH! Keep dreaming wench, as if I, Inuyasha would actually care."

Kagome plastered a fake smile on her face even though her heart tore a little.

"Oh, well I guess I'm fine now, thanks Inuyasha."

"Feh, anytime wench."

Inuyasha turned his back to her to hide his smile. It was enough that her scent made him go crazy, but for her to praise him as little as thanking him would make insane.

He walked out of the hut and jumped into a tree.

'Man, she's great.' And with that he put his head down to hide his smirk from anyone that was watching him.

"Hmmm..." Kagome started to pack her bag to go home. She smiled at the thought that Inuyasha would try and stop her.

Their friendship had grown since the time that she broke the jewel and the time they defeated Naraku.

She walked out of the hut to find Inuyasha with his head down. She figured he had fallen asleep and decided to keep moving towards the well but unfortunately...

Inuyasha's head snapped up at her scent and said "Where do you think you're going wench?!"

"Is that the only term that suits me Inuyasha? There's no OTHER word that describes me? Is that it?"

"What in the world are you talking about Kagome? Of course it is. Well to me." Inuyasha tried to put on a warm smile for Kagome, but failed miserably.

"Oh, I see then. I'm just going home if that's all you think about me." And with that she started stalking off to the well. Inuyasha grabbed her hand and yanked her back to him.

"Wait, don't leave. Kagome I....."
