"Baka! I hate you!" tears poured down Kagome's face as she screamed at Inuyasha. "Wench! What the hell did I do now?!" "You know very well what you did and DIDN'T do! I'm going home!" "WHAT??? YOU CAN'T LEAVE! WHAT ABOUT THE SHARDS????" Inuyasha mentally slapped himself 'God why can't I just tell her I want her to stay?' Kagome's anger melted off her face "oh, I see," she said softly, "that's all I'm good for is it?" her voice was deadly calm. Inuyasha backed slowly away from her, "K-kagome, a-are you o-okay, y-your scaring me a-a little," Kagome looked up at him, her eyes blazing "SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! DAMN YOU WENCH!" Kagome raced off grabbing her bag in the process. 'God Inuyasha! Why do you always ruin everything! Did you actually think I wouldn't mind you kissing Kikyou?' tears welled up in Kagome's eyes. She mentally cursed herself 'Baka! Don't cry! He's not worth it! He doesn't care about you! Forget him!' Kagome nodded to herself. She would return home and live a normal life like a normal girl. Kagome raised her voice to a shout "I-I'm not coming back Inuyasha, I-I'm leaving for the last time!" her voice cracked as she said this. She reached the well and jumped in for the last time. 'Goodbye Inuyasha' she thought sadly 'I loved you, but you did not return my love, I can't stay with you knowing you will always love Kikyou.'

Inuyasha lay on the ground staring up at the sky. 'I-is she really gone? What did I do to make her so upset?' Kagome's last words ran through his head "I-I'm not coming back Inuyasha, I-I'm leaving for the last time!" the mournful melody played and replayed itself. 'WHAT DID I DO?' Inuyasha's eyes widened briefly. 'D-did she see me with Kikyou? DAMN!' Inuyasha stood slowly and tossed his head back closing his eyes. His silvery hair swayed softly in the breeze. "KAGOME! COME BACK! COME BACK! Come back.....come.back to me" his cry dwindled down to a whisper as he dropped to his knees. He hung his head as a single tear cascaded down his cheek. "I'm sorry." His whispered apology would never reach Kagome for it was whisked away by the wind and consumed by the oncoming darkness.

"MOM! GRANDPA! SOTA! I'M HOME!" Kagome's voice rang through the house as she dumped her stuff in her room. No one answered. "Hmmmm, wonder where they are." She said out loud to herself. 'Oh well, I don't mind being alone right now,' she shrugged as she entered the kitchen. On the counter was a note; it read- Kagome, went out to the lake house for the week, be back on Thursday! Love much-Mom. 'Thursday, but don't we have school tomorrow?' once again Kagome shrugged. 'Mom must want to take a break.' Kagome stifled a yawn. "Man, I'm bushed; maybe I should get some sleep". Kagome dragged herself upstairs and onto her bed and immediately fell asleep.
