Hey guys. Last time I checked, I had 7 reviews. That's pretty good for the first chapter. Thank you all. Oh and yay for me, because starting tomorrow is Thanksgiving break! Yay! Um, that was sorta irrelevant. Oh well, ya still love me. On with the fic!

Depressing Truths: You've Gone Hysterical

Sango and Miroku landed on the ground. They saw Inuyasha holding Kagome while she cried. Both of them looked at each other with questioning looks.

"Ahem." Miroku said. Inuyasha looked up. He then blushed furiously as he realized his position with Kagome. He waved his hands as if to say 'It isn't what it looks like!'. Not that he minded being this close to her.

Kagome looked up. She didn't blush when she saw them, she just stared.

"Guys, the well-

"It's okay Inuyasha. I'll tell them. Im okay now. Um, the well has been sealed somehow and Im trapped here." Kagome said, using all her strength to hold back her tears.

Sango gasped. "Kagome! Im so sorry. We'll find a way to get you home." She said, running up to Kagome and hugging her.

Miroku had said nothing the whole time. "What do you think is sealing the well?" He asked Inuyasha.

Inuyasha shrugged. "I think our best bet is Naraku. But, I don't think he knows about the well. Or does he?" He said suspiciously.

Everyone except Kagome nodded. Kagome had gone back to bawling her eyes out.

"We should ask Kaede. She might know something." Sango said.

Everyone nodded. "Do you really think she can help me Sango?" Kagome said, in between sobs.

Sango gave Kagome a reassuring pat on the shoulder. "Dont worry! We'll get you back home in no time!" She said.

Kagome smiled weakly then nodded. Everyone set off towards Kaede's village.

"I, see. Ye are in quite a predicament Kagome." Kaede said, handing everyone bowls of soup.

"So, there's no way I can get back home?" Kagome said.

Kaede shook her head. "I do not know of many ways, child. But, there is someone I know of that should." She said.

Everyone waited for her to continue. "Her name is Hari. She is a priestess that deals with seals. If my assumption is correct, the well has been sealed instead of accidentally closing."

Everyone nodded. "So, where does this Hari reside?" Miroku asked. Kaede coughed before speaking. "She lives in the lands of Makucotoi. It's south from here, but far. It's a good month long journey." (By the way, don't even try to look that word up. I made it up. But it's pronounced Ma-ku- co- toe. So ya, whatever.)

"Well, we better get going then." Inuyasha said, getting ready to sit up.

"Ye young ones should rest for a few days before leaving. Store you're energy and restock on you're supplies." Kaede said.

Inuyasha growled. "We have to get Kagome back home! Why would we just sit here and-

"Inuyasha, Kaede's right. We need to prepare before we head out on a month long journey." Kagome said quietly.

Inuyasha growled then said nothing else. Everyone got up to prepare for the journey to Hari's.

It's been 3 days since they had been preparing to go on the journey. So far, Kagome hadn't showed any signs of cracking. They were all worried about her. For Inuyasha to try and comfort her she must've been really depressed.

Now, Kagome walked towards the river. She was wearing a miko robe now because her school uniform was kind of dirty. Besides, if they didn't find a way to get her home soon, she'd have to get used to wearing it.

Kagome sighed as she got on her knees and threw her uniform into the river. She sat there for a couple of minutes watching it float. Then it hit her.

Oh right, no washing machine. She thought, as she started to wash the clothes by hand. As she washed, her clothes weren't the only thing that got wet. Her eyes were wet and running too.

Mom, Souta, Jii-chan.. I'll probably never see any of them again! My whole life on that side... it's ruined! I never even got to say goodbye... She thought, as she cried even more.

"Kagome?" Sango said, walking up to her. Kagome turned her head around quick. She rubbed her eyes furiously. "H-hi Sango." She said. Sango walked closer to her. Then she sat down beside her. "Kagome, are you alright?" Sango said.

Kagome smiled. "Im fine Sango. I just... needed to get some of the river water out of my eyes." She said. Sango smiled back. You're not fooling anyone Kagome. She thought to herself.

"Kagome, is there anything you wanna talk about?" Sango said. Kagome shook her head. "Im fine, Sango. Really." She said.

Sango frowned. "Are you sure? I mean I can-

"Im fine, Sango. Really, I am. Now, just go and leave me alone for a little while." Kagome cut her off.

"Kagome, are you sure you'll be okay? I know you probably need to talk so-

"IM FINE!" Kagome yelled. Now she was breathing heavily and her face was starting to turn red with anger.

"K-Kagome. You're crying." Sango said. Kagome put her hand to her cheek and felt the moisture there. Kagome sighed.

"Im fine. Please, leave me alone." Kagome said in a shrill voice while still crying.

This time Sango nodded and left. Kagome sat for a while wallowing in her self-pity.

It had been 5 days since Kagome's little 'fit' at the river. Now everyone sat in Kaede's hut. Everyone had been worried over Kagome because she kept having these little 'fits'. The other day, she had got up to go somewhere and then started bawling about never being able to drive a car. Whatever that was.

But anyway, to present time, their all sitting in Kaede's hut.

Everyone is eating soup that Kaede gave them. No one dared ask Kagome for ninja food out of fear that she might just start crying again.

Kagome suddenly stood up. She's now wearing her school uniform, by the way. She walked out the door mumbling she's be back later.

Everyone stared after her.

Kagome reached the well and hopped in. She fell straight to the bottom. But to her, she wasn't at the bottom. She was just starting to climb out of the well and into her house, where her family was.

3333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333

Inuyasha walked through the forest slowly. He had a good feeling where Kagome had gone. He watched her stand by the well a lot and look down it's mouth longingly.

He neared the well, yet he saw no Kagome or any trace of her. He could still smell her though. And she was definitely there.

He looked down the well and she was just sitting there. What the heck? He hopped down and landed in front of her. Her eyes were glazed over and she seemed almost... peaceful.

"Kagome?" He said. No answer. She only stared. "Kagome?" He said again, waving his hand in her face.

She blinked but her eyes still looked the same. Inuyasha gripped her by the shoulders and shook her. "Kagome! Kagome! Kagome wake up dammit!" He yelled. Kagome blinked and this time her eyes focused.

"Inuyasha? When did you get here?" She said. Inuyasha cocked his head to the side. "You mean, you didn't notice me all that time?" He asked.

Kagome looked at him strangely. "When did you come through the window?" She asked. Inuyasha raised a brow. "Kagome, what on earth are you talking about? We're in the well." He said.

Kagome looked around her. "How did I get back in here? I was just inside my house." She said.

"Kagome are you going nuts? You haven't been home in a wee-

Inuyasha trailed off when he noticed that Kagome was crying again.

"Kagome. You're crying. Why wont you talk to anyone?" He said, reaching his hand out to wipe the tear away.

Kagome hiccuped. "Oh Gods, I-I think Im going nuts." She said, wiping her tears away and looking at her hand.

Inuyasha only stared. "Kagome, you're not nuts you just miss you're family. You're in shock." He said. Kagome started to cry more.

Inuyasha grabbed her by the waist, and jumped out of the well. Then he sat Kagome on the ground. Now she was sobbing uncontrollably.

"Inuyasha, I-Im sorry. I-I-I cant help it. I just miss them so much. I-I never even got to say g-g-goodbye." She stuttered.

Inuyasha said nothing. He only nodded in understanding. Kagome was being torn apart by grief. She missed her family so much she was mentally killing herself.

"Kagome. I want you to try not to think about them. I know it's hard. But, it'll take the pain away. For the time being. Until we get you home." He said.

Kagome nodded. She was still crying. Of course, she wasn't going to do it right away. She needed to grieve for the moment. But when the time's right, she has to temporarily let them go.

"O-o-okay Inuyasha. I'll try." She said, leaning over and laying against him. "Inuyasha... I need you to help me. Help me do this." She said, her voice getting quieter and her eyes fluttering closed.

"Dont worry. I will. I promise." Inuyasha said. Kagome snuggled into him more. "Thank you."

Inuyasha nodded and soon she was asleep. He picked her up and walked through the forest quietly and back to Kaede's hut. She didn't even wake up when Shippo and the others bombarded Inuyasha with questions. The raven haired beauty slept through the night, peacefully.
