Prologue:
Kagome never understood why she kept falling for him… If it was because of Kikyou, she wouldn't ever forgive herself. Why should she forgive herself? The older girl's soul belonged to InuYasha; Kagome falling for him was pretty good proof of that. But…that wasn't a good reason to fall for anyone at all. It was unfair, for her and him… and begrudgingly Kikyou, too. And of the three victims, their souls didn't receive any special treatment there.
She never understood why she kept expecting something different from InuYasha, other than the foul mouth he gifted her with each time she took too long to return to the Feudal Era. She should have known that InuYasha would never be able to give himself completely to her; make her feel loved; whenever she reminded him too much of his first love.
She didn't want to make an impact and open any closed wounds that InuYasha may or may not have, but she knew that he was falling for her, too. He was being torn in two by being made to make a choice between the two women that meant so much to him. The best Kagome could do was to back out of the impossible love triangle that had been made, and only hope for best for InuYasha and his first love, now that their greatest obstacle had been removed.
Their betrayal had been resolved, and now they can be happier together. They can even have children now; since Kagome had decided to leave the jewel in InuYasha's care. She wasn't exactly sure what they'd wish for; but Kagome sort of hoped that they'd give Kikyou another chance at life, since it was stripped from her at such a young age…
But, Kagome was really hoping to find a way to heal the hole in her heart while her tears fell freely from her eyes, as she sat at the lip of the well. The tears contained every possible emotion that it could fit; bitterness, hurt, loneliness, happiness, and hopefulness.
What more could she do without becoming a phantom of the lively Kagome her friends loved? She must back out to prevent InuYasha from getting hurt by her, or vice versa. It's best that she leaves now before the damage becomes too great.
I hope you all get by well without me; InuYasha, Shippo, Kikyou, Miroku, Sango, Kaede…, she sighed, as she fell back and into the well to go home… where the love is… Farewell…
And she left the Feudal Era for good.
AN: I know it's short, next chapter will be longer. :D
