Chapter 1: The beginning of the end.
Kagome's point of view:
I lay in my bed dreaming about Inu Yasha. How he warmed up to me the day before, saying he would never forget me. His kind words made me smile. I know he still loves Kikyo and he feels regret for anything he had ever done to her. Sometimes I worry about him when I leave for my home. I want him to always stay safe. In my dream we had a fight, because of Kouga. Kouga claims he loves me, but I'm sure I have no feelings for him. Inu Yasha had walked away from me after the argument. I wasn't really sure if it was a dream or not, it seemed so real. I asked him to forgive me and to come back, but he continued to walk on. I screamed hoping that he would turn around, but I was wrong.
'Please Inu Yasha, come back...I never meant anything that I said.' When that happened he turned around and said calmly,
'I don't want to see your face ever again. I never loved you!'
Suddenly out of shock I woke up. I rose out of my bed and into the bathroom down the hall. Sweat dripped down my forehead. I looked as if I was the undead. I stood in front of the mirror crying.
"Why...was that real?" I asked myself, hoping that nightmare would never become a reality.
My mother made me stay home that day, since she claimed I didn't look too well. I sat at the kitchen table, glancing at my mother and my brother Souta. I saw my mother's face, clenched with worry. My brother looked happy that I was actually home. Grandpa, as usual, was calling my teacher to tell her I had hypothermia. After he got off the phone, he joined us at the table. Souta suddenly started conversation.
"Kagome, how long are you going to stay with us? Does Inu Yasha mind?"
"Yeah Souta, I'm staying here as long as you want." Souta just smiled. He always has something to smile about. My mother looked at the clock and quickly rushed my brother to school.
"Kagome make sure you feed Bouyo and please make sure your grandfather doesn't get in trouble with the door-to-door salesman again!" she said on the way out.
"Ok, Mom." I replied. I could tell it was going to be one of those boring days. I flipped on the TV and suddenly 'George the peppy dog' showed up on the screen.
"Eeeeeeeeewwww-nesss!!!"
This show was the worst when I was little. (Kinda like Barney the purple dinosaur.) I headed up the stairs and into my room. All I have left to do now is to study for my exams. I wonder how Inu Yasha's doing...
Inu Yasha's point of view:
Kagome is in her era and there is nothing to do. Feh, if she takes her time and stays longer than a day I'll have to go get her. Miroku disagrees. He said I should cool off and let Kagome stay there as long as she wants. Well I don't think Miroku realizes the big factor. There is a crazy demon out to get us!!! Plus! he also holds most of the jewel shards! Miroku can really be an idiot most of the time and a pervert. I'm actually thankful for having Kagome, Sango, Miroku and Shippou at my side even though I can be a jerk. With all the shards I can finally defeat Naraku and his hell-spawn, once and for all! Dammit! Wolf-boy just showed up! I hope he's in the mood for a good beating, since there is no way he's getting to Kagome!
"Hey, mutt-face! Where's Kagome? If you did anything to her, I'll kill you!"
"It's none of your damn business where she went!" Kagome will never be taken away from me ever again!
Kouga's point of view:
Inu Yasha refuses to tell me where Kagome went. Well, it's not like I'm running away that easily! That damn whelp had better tell me, or else he'll get it!
"So mutt-face you're trying to keep Kagome to yourself? Both of us can't have her." Inu Yasha pulled out that dumb sword of his. He looked pissed. I just looked at him with my arms crossed.
"Fine, admit it you insolent puppy! You love Kagome!" There was a long silence and finally Inu Yasha said,
"Bah! It's none of your business if I do or if I don't! Anyway, you're not worthy to die." He placed his sword back into the scabbard, and he walked off. I laughed. I knew that puppy never had it in him. He is just to kind it seems.
"Heh, I knew it Inu Yasha. Now who is the one with their tail between their legs?"
Kagome's point of view:
I really should've gone to school today! I can't figure out any of these algebraic problems! Oh no! I can't find my English textbook! Did I leave it in the feudal era? I'm in such big trouble! I need to get at least a 100 or higher to pass! My only decision now is to go back down the well and find it or else I'll fail!
"My lordy! Kagome what is with this mess!" grandpa asked.
"Sorry Gramps, I needed to find my textbook."
"Well, that's alright now isn't it? Which textbook are you looking for?" he asked. I rushed to my desk and ripped out all of my files.
"My English textbook. I think I left it in the feudal era by mistake."
"Oh alright Kagome, be back soon you hear? Don't be going' on any adventures with that dog-demon." I kissed my grandfather 'goodbye' and headed to the shrine.
Shippou's point of view:
Inu yasha's really mad for some reason. Kouga showed up and again they started to argue. I wish Kagome came back. It's sooo boring here with Miroku, Sango and Inu Yasha. The only thing they let me do is to wait by the old well. When is Kagome coming back?
Miroku's point of view:
sigh Both Inu Yasha and Sango have seemed bothered today. Kouga came by and asked for Lady Kagome. I don't blame Inu yasha for being ill-tempered, as usual, but lately Sango has been acting strange.
"Sango, you seem a little off. Is something bothering you?" I asked
"Oh no, nothing Miroku-sama. Nothings wrong." she explained.
I don't know if she has something to hide, but she has a funny way of showing it. She always has me worried about something. I bet she's upset, because of Kohaku.
"Hey, Kagome! What took you so damn long?!" said Inu Yasha. I looked over to the well and saw Kagome quickly climb out. Kagome looked as if she was in a rush as she passed us.
"Hi Miroku-sama! Sango! Shippou! I can't talk, in a hurry! Need to find my textbook!"
Inu Yasha stood there as if nothing had happened, and then he said finally.
"What the hell was that for!?" he asked me. I shook my head.
"My guess is just the same as yours."
"Really, what in all hell did I do? Miroku stay here with Sango. I'm going to see what's up with Kagome."
"Make sure you don't start another fight with her."
"Feh." As he ran off to follow Kagome, Sango asked me something I would always remember.
"Miroku-sama, is there a reason for me or even you to live?" She looked as if she was about to cry, so I held her in my arms.
Kagome's point of view:
Ah ha! I finally found my English textbook! I knew I'd left it somewhere. Kaede-san kept it in her hut with all of her healing herbs. Now I can go back to my world and study for my exams! Go studying! GOOOOO!!! I silently walked out of the hut into the bright sky. Inu Yasha had his back to the wall and a scowl on his face.
"Oh! Hi, Inu Yasha!" I said. Inu Yasha didn't say 'Hi' back. I wonder why he's mad?
"Hmph. So why did you suddenly come back?" he asked.
"I had to get my English textbook. I figured I left it here so I came back. Did something happen?" Inu Yasha gave me a strange look and crossed his arms.
"Feh, yeah wolf boy came by and wanted to know where you were." He replied.
"Did you tell him about the well?" I asked
"Do you think in your right mind, that I would tell him about the stupid well?"
"It was just a simple question! You don't have to get all hot and heavy about it!" I knew an argument was going to come along sooner or later.
"Who said was getting all hot and heavy?! Just use your stupid mind for once and you'll see what I mean!" Inu Yasha is such an idiot! I wasn't the one to bring this up!
"I don't want you to see that litter-runt ever again!" he said.
"Why do you always have to bring Kouga into our arguements?! He never did anything wrong!"
"What?! Now you're sticking up for that dirty, tick-covered, sleezeball?!"
"Kouga actually wants to know if I'm okay, not including a certain someone. I've told you a million times Inu Yasha, I DON'T LIKE KOUGA! I like him as a friend." I replied.
"Well, the way you look at him all glassy-eyed I figured you did! And when you go to your world, what the hell are we supposed to do? Wait until another one of Naraku's spawn creeps up on us in our sleep!?"
"You can handle anything by yourself when I'm gone. It's not like you need me here anyway. I have a life in my world, and not only in this one. I can't keep staying here, and missing exams from my classes!"
"Good, we don't need you so how about you go home?"
"Fine! You know what Inu Yasha? You are the biggest idiot I've ever met!"
"Feh, and who do you think you are? You're the most useless pile of junk." There was silence. I didn't know what to say. He thinks I'm...useless? Inu Yasha looked shocked.
"Kagome...I didn't mean it..."
I turned around so I didn't have to see him. I started to shake all over and couldn't stop.
'Why now...' I thought.
"Inu Yasha...You are right. I'm just in the way..." I replied. I could tell Inu Yasha was upset since he didn't say anything.
"When I'm gone...you better forget...That....I even loved you." I ran off without looking back. He's not going to follow me. I don't even think he cares if I loved him or not. Kouga is so much sweeter then he'd ever be! I ran out of the shrine into my house.
"Kagome? Is that you?" Grandpa asked. Buoyo came tailing me into my bedroom.
"Yeah, it's me gramps." He walked into the room with a pot in his hand.
"Oh, what's wrong Kagome? Did something bad happen while you were there? Did you see the shoe salesman at the door?" he asked cowering behind the sofa.
"Nothing happened grandpa. That was all in the past." Soon I'll get over him, right?
Sango's point of view:
I've been haunted by dreams of the past. Mostly of my family when I was little. Oh how I miss my father and my mother. I know Kohaku is out of my reach, but soon he will be my brother once again. I wonder what would happen if they were all still alive, none of this torturing pain would have ever occurred. Lying in Miroku's arms made me feel as if I was actually wanted. Occasionally get captured in his grasp. Sometimes I think I'm actually falling in love with him. How could I not? He does have his flaws and his good sides too. Miroku-sama is always kind to me.
"Sango, are you sure you don't want to tell me?" he took his hand and gently wiped away my tears.
"Hai, I'm sure Miroku-sama." He held me tighter, pushing my face into his chest.
"Please, just hold on to me for a while." I said
Sesshou-maru's point of view:
The wind was blowing heavier at the trees, and I knew something had happened. Shrieks came from a village not the far away, and the stench of blood stained the air.
"Sesshoumaru-sama Rin's bored!" the little girl replied.
"Shut up you little nuisance!" said Jaken. The wind beat even harder on the trees and Naraku's smell came forth.
"Sesshoumaru-sama do you sense that?" Jaken asked.
"A demonic aura, coming from the west." I heard a rustling of leaves behind us. It was Kagura. Rin hid behind Jaken as Kagura rushed forward.
"Kagura, what do you want?" I asked. She smirked and took out her fan.
"Sesshoumaru I want you do something for me. Something concerning Naraku." She said. I tightened my grip on Tokijin. Could this be another trap?
"What do you want me to do concerning Naraku?" She smiled. What a strange woman she is.
"I want you to kill him."
