Live for Tomorrow

Author's Note: ANOTHER NEW STORY! YAY! Once again I'm on a role. And this time I've got time to write them! Please review and let me know how you like my first AU story! I'm trying it out. Please review! PLEASE! Okay... I'm alright.

Kagome wiped away tears of pain with a blood stained hand. With her other hand she held the completed Shikon Jewel. "It's over..." she whispered, "Naraku's dead. The jewel's all here. I can go home." Pain was over coming her. It wouldn't be long before she died.
"KAGOME!" Inuyasha screamed,holding her in his arms. Like Kagome, he also had been badly wounded. Sango, Shippo, and Miroku gathered around the pair."Please Kagome! Stay with us! We'll bring you back to your time! Just don't die on me damnit!" the hanyou yelled.
The girl in question smiled weakly at him. "Inuyasha... she saidtrailing off, "I'd love to stay with you. But it's over." she stopped to gasp in pain then continued, "I love you Inuyasha. We'll always be together. I wish- I wish we could always be together."
The scene grew dark and then light again, reveiling a totally different place. Kagome sat in front of an old woman she knew as 'Grandma'. This had been years ago. 10 years atleast.
"Do you know why you are named Kagome, Kagome?" her grandmother asked.
Kagome shook her head no.
"Your aunt, my daughter, was named Kagome." the old woman said smiling slightly, "She was a nice,beautiful girl, always getting good grades. One day your father came to Kagome saying that the family cat Buyo had gone into the old well house. Now just like you, Kagome and your father were not allowed in there. Your father was too afraid to follow the cat so he had your aunt go get him. Just as Kagome was about to pick up Buyo, a centipede demon broke through the well and grabbed Kagome and pulled her through the well."
Kagome gasped at this point. "Was Aunt Kagome alright!" she asked, her eyes wide.
"Yes." her grandmother replied, "But very scared. When she got out of the well, she found herself back in time. We never found out exactly when in time she was, but she was around the 1500's. But anyways, to make the story a bit shorter, she awakened a young half demon by the name of Inuyasha-"
The little girl giggled. "Inuyasha lives next door!" she exclaimed.
The old lady shook her head. "That's a different Inuyasha, dear." she said, "It's a coincidence his name is name is Inuyasha."
"Oh." Kagome said thinking it over, "Please go back to the story."
"Inuyasha saved your Aunt Kagome only after the centipede demonbit her, reveiling the Shikon no Tama. The next day the jewel was stolen by a crow demon. Kagome shot her arrow, killing the demon, but she shattered the jewel. She spent the next few years searching with Inuyasha for the shards of the jewel. As they went they aquired three friends, a demon slayer named Sango, a monk named Miroku, and a little fox demon named Shippo. Kagome could use the well to come back home and she did every time she had the chance. Only she and Inuyasha could get through the well."
"Did they ever find all the jewel shards?" Kagome asked, inthralled in the story.
Her grandmother's eyes filled with pain. It took her a few seconds to reply. "We-we don't know." she admitted, "Kagome went through the well one day and never came back..." A tear dripped down her cheek.
Kagome got up and hugged the old woman. The woman smiled and ran her hand through the girl's hair. "You look exactly like Kagome." Mrs. Higurashi said
"That's because I am Kagome!" Kagome exclaimed.
Her grandmother laughed. "Perhaps. Perhaps."

"Good morning! It's another glorious day and the first of September! Summer break's over for some schools. Hope yours isn't one of them!" Groaning, Kagome sat up in her bed, turning off the alarm on her clock.
"That dream again." she mumbled, "I've had it to about here, hearing Grandma's story about Aunt Kagome each night." Slipping out of bed, Kagome walked over to her closet and pulled out her school uniform. Unluckily she was going to one of those schools that opened today.
"Kagome!" her mother called, "Come down for breakfast right now! Stop sleeping in! You're going to be late!"
"But my alarm clock just rang mom!"Kagome yelled back down.
"Then set it earlier! You're going to late! School starts in a half an hour!"
Kagome glanced at her clock. 8:05. Her mother had been right. She had to reset her clock. 'I'll do it later.' she thought, hurrying downstairs.
"Morning sleepy head." Kagome's father said grinning, "Don't worry about sleeping in so late. The exercise you're going to get from running to school is good for you."
"Souta!" her mother said disapprovingly, "Don't encourage her!"
"I'm not!" Souta insisted.
"You are."his wiferetorted, putting pancakes on Kagome's plate, "Kagome, you're going to have to eat this quickly. Your father and I don't have time to drive you today. I'm sorry."
"It's alright." Kagome replied, pouring syrup onto her breakfast, "I'll hurry."

Fifteen minutes later, Kagome was running out of the house. She passed the well house, then the god tree, and finally the shrine. Just as she was about to run down the infamous stairs of her family shrine, a miscalculated step sent her tripping, and then rolling, down the entire set.
She was deposited at the bottome of the stairs, in front of a pair of shoes. Looking up, she saw a boy with white hair, gold eyes, and a red baseball cap, who was leaning against a bike, smirking at her. "Great job there Kagome." he commented.
"Be quiet Inuyasha." Kagome said glaring at him, standing up. She felt her faceheating up. Inuyasha's parentswere old family friends.He lived next door to the shrine and was two years older than Kagome.
"You've got to be more careful. God, how'd you get yourself rolling down that mountain?"
"Bad luck." she replied, "The world's out to get me today."
"The teachers will be too if you're late on the first day." Inuyasha agreed. He got onto his bike, but just stood there for a second. "Get on."
"What?"
"I said get on!" Inuyasha repeated, getting a bit irritated, he didn't like having to repeat himeself.
"But you don't have another seat on your bike." Kagome said, "Where would I sit?
Inuyasha pointed behind him, rolling his eyes. Behind him was a piece of wood attached to the piece of metal above the back wheel. "It'll hold your weight."
"Are you sure?" Kagome asked.
"Just get on the damn bike." Inuyasha growled.
"Fine!" Kagome said. Seeing that there were trick bars on the back wheel of the bike, Kagome got on, using the piece of wood as an extra seat, the trick bars as if they were petals, and put her arms around Inuyasha's chest. "If we get in trouble it's your own fault." she warned.
Inuyasha started petaling towards the school. "We're not going to get in trouble." he told her. Growing up with Kagome, he was used to statements like her last.
Kagome was amazed at how fast they were going. Her hair spread out behind her, catching a much larger wind than Kagome could ever create, riding a bike, especially with an extra passenger.
"So are you excited to be going to a new school?" Inuyasha called back to her, "I promise the highschool's better than the middle school."
'That's right.' Kagome thought, 'I'm a freshman this year at the highschool. Inuyasha's a junior this year.' "Yeah." Kagome said, "I'm really excited! How are the teachers?"
"Not bad." Inuyasha replied, "Just watch out for old Mr. Docolm. He's hell. He made a girl cry in his class last year because she didn't know an answer to the question he asked her."
"What subject does he teach?"
"Freshman physics."
"Oh god..."
Inuyasha laughed.

Inuyasha pulled up in front of the school. "You can get off here." he told her, "The bike rack's on the other side of the school where the junior entrance is. There's no point for you to go there when the freshman entrance is here."
"Thanks Inuyasha!" Kagome said jumping off the bike and running into the school.
"You owe me Kagome!"
