This is my very first piece of fiction that I have written and posted, but it is about my all time favourite anime series Inuyasha. So I hope you all enjoy it as much as I did when writing it and thinking up the story line and please review at the end and tell me if you like it or not. Be as critical as you would like.

Chapter 1 – The Argument

Disclaimer - I do not own Inuyasha or any other character relating to it.

"I'm going home for a couple of days guys" said nineteen, soon to be twenty year old, Kagome Higurashi as she stood up from the floor of Kaede's hut. "I have my last test to write in a couple days, so I'll be back to stay for a while."

"Who said that you could go anywhere Ka-go-me?" was the surly reply from one and only Inuyasha.

"Since when do I need your permission dog-boy?" replied Kagome with a snort.

"Since always" said Inuyasha as he stood up to block Kagome's path. "Why do have to write these stupid tests anyway? You don't need all that information junk here."

Before Kagome could answer the same question that Inuyasha asked every time she wanted to go home, she counted to ten in her head. "Because some of us don't live here. Some of us live in a time where we need to do well in school to get in to college, so we can have a well paying job when we live on our own, mister!"

During their ritual argument, Sango, the demon exterminator, and Miroku, the monk, were sitting and watching the argument. "So Sango, how much longer do you think Kagome will take all of this before she sits him?"

"Not much more. You can see it in Kagome's faces. I give it about two more seconds."

"SIT-BOY!"

"Oaf! What'd you do that for?" asked Inuyasha who was current face down on the floor.

"I'm going home and you can't stop me! I'll be back in two days!" with that said Kagome picked up her deflated yellow backpack and ran off towards the Bone Eaters Well.

'Stupid Inuyasha! He'll fight with me over any stupid little thing! Why can't he just let me be! It's not like I want to always leave, but some of us have to divide our time."

Before she knew it Kagome had made it to the clearing where the well was, but she didn't have the heart to go home yet. Too upset to do anything remotely productive, she ran off to one of the only places that could calm her soul. The Goshinbuko tree.

With nothing, but her thoughts to occupy her, memories of Inuyasha, Shippou, Miroku, Sango, and her travels came back to her. She smiled at the memory of Inuyasha's and her first kiss during their battle with Kaguya (A/N: It's from the second movie.) 'He was so gentle and he put me before himself. Why can't he do that at least part of the time! It's always a battle with him!' She sighed to herself and gave a little giggle. 'But then again for that to happen the sky would have to be falling' With that in mind, Kagome stood up and stretched and was about to head towards the well when a certain someone blocked her path.

"What was that all about Kagome?" asked the very annoyed hanyou. "You yell at me saying you're going home, but then I find you sitting out here alone I might add. Is your head broken or something because there are things called demons here! You must be stupid!" berated Inuyasha.

That was all Kagome could take for a day. The tears welled up in her eyes and slowly began to make an invisible path done her cheeks. "You win Inuyasha. You win" was Kagome's deflated answer. She lifted her hair, reached behind her neck, and unclasped the necklace the Shikon Jewel was strung on and gave it to Inuyasha. "Here take this and go find Kikyo. I'm going home for good. Tell everyone good-bye for me and that I love them." With that Kagome took off silently crying to herself towards the well.

Inuyasha could do nothing but stare off into space. Kagome's words finally hit him 'I'm going home for good…good…good…' It kept ringing through his mind. When Inuyasha finally found his voice Kagome had long since gone through the well, leaving Inuyasha in a stunned silence.
