-modern era-

Kagome had landed on the other side of the well minutes ago. She finally looked up and saw the roof of the well-house instead of bright shiney stars. Thats when realization hit her like a slap in the face. She would never be able to return to Inuyasha or the others. Realizing this, she did what anyone else in this situation would do. She broke down, crying uncontrolable tears. Her body shook roughly from the strenghth ofher sobs.

"Inuyasha!" She cried out into the darkness of the well-house, willing herself to he heard by him through time. "I never wanted to go! I love you Inuyasha!" She cried harder than ever and eventually cried herself into slumber with her tears that night in the well. Her blanket being Inuyasha's haori.

-morning-

"S-sis?"

"Huh?" Kagome looked up to be greeted with her brothers worried face.

"Sis, are you alright? I didn't expect to see you back so-"

"Oh Souta!" Kagome began to cry once more, realizing last nights happenings weren't a nightmare.

""What, what is it!" Her brother asked clearly worried about his sister. He had never seen her cry like this before. She was always so strong. He never knew he would have to see her like this.

"They're gone,I'll never see them again! I can never go back!" She cried.

"Wh-what!" Her brother asked shocked.

'Th-the well is sealed." She cried.

"You mean you can never go back?"

"No, never!" She sobbed.

"Come on sis, I'll take you inside." He said solemly. He felt as though he could cry right along with Kagome. He had known for a while what his sisters feeling for his rolemodel were, and it ate him from the inside out that this had happened to his sister. He took her hand and led her into the house.

"Oh, hello Souta-Kagome! What happened? Whats wrong?" Their mother asked worried for her daughters well-being.

"Inuyasha. Well. Sealed. Can't. Go back. Ever." She tried to say in between sobs.

"Come on Kagome." Her mother took her hand and led her to her room where Kagome told her everything.

"Oh Kagome. I'm so sorry." Her mom said once Kagome had finished explaining everything.

"Oh mom. I don't know what to do. I love him so much but I'll never see him again." She sobbed.

"Oh sweetie." Her mom said before catching her in a loving embrace. "I'll leave you to yourself fora while ok? I'm sure there are many things you want to think about." Her mom said after she let go of her emotional daughter. Kagome just nodded her answer, telling her mother that she wanted to be alone. "Alright dear. I'll check on you later ok?" Kagome nodded once more. "M-mom?" She asked before her mother could shut the door.

"What is it honey?"

"Thanks. For understanding." She said giving a sad soft smile.

"No problem dear." She said with a sad smile of her own. With that she was gone leaving Kagome alone once again. She began to dig in her bag for all of her keepsakes.

She pulled out a small wooden box from her closet shelf that would be big enough for her all of her treasures. Then, one by one looking at her most treasured items.

First was Sango's gas mask, then came Miroku's beads. She fondled them both and held them to her heart before gently placing them in the box. Then there was Shippo's book. She looked at every page and was brought to tears by the illustrations. One was of himself, another was of him and Kagome playing. There were some that made her laugh through her tears were ones of herself sitting Inuyasha. There were even several of chocolate.

"He sure did like chocolate." She said to herself as she kept looking through the small portraits.

There was also one of each person with their weapon. Even she was in there. But it was the last one that brought her to tears once again. It was all of them together. Shippo was in the middle, and Kagome and Inuyasha was on either side of him. Sango, Miroku and Kirara were to the left.

Underneath Sango it said "auntie Sango" and underneith Miroku it said "uncle Miroku", and underneith herself and Inuyasha it said "Mama and Papa". Then at the very top of the page in bold lettering it said "MY FAMILY". Seeing that made her cry ever more silent tears of sadness. She then placed the book gently in the wooden box along with the rest of her keepsakes. She pulled out the ring that Keade gave her and admired the the box before opening it. Revealing the ring.

-Flashback-

"When ye feel lonely or confused, just put this on and ye'll know what to do and when to do it."

-End Flashback-

She then took the ring out and placed it on her middle finger. It was very beautiful, but Kagome took it off and placed it gently back into the wooden box from wence it came. But instead of putting it with her other keepsakes, she placed it on her desk. She then took Inuyasha's haori off of her bed and brought it to her face, inhaling his scent. He would always smell of fresh air and pine trees. She had always loved that smell. It was wild and free, just like he was. She pulled it away from her face and put it in her closet where she could easily see it.

After putting all of her things away, she fell asleep on her bed, thinking of her friends which shehad left behind in the feudal era.

-several hours later-

"Kagome, sweetie?" She was being awakened by her mothers voice.

"Hnn?" She asked with her eyes still closed half asleep. "Comeon Inuyashaaaa, just a few more minutes." She said in her sleep turning over.

"Kagome." Her mom shook her once more. She awoke with the second try, opening her eyes. "Sweetheart, I'm back with the pictures you asked me to get developed." Her mom said holding out 12 packages of pictures.

"O-oh. Thanks mom." She said now fully awake knowing that she had the pictures.

"Sure honey." Her mother then left her to herself.

Kagome opened the first package of pictures and saw it was filled with pictures of the village. She flipped through those and went on to the next one. She went through about half of them and saw some of Sango, Miroku and Shippo. Those made her tear up. When she got to the last package of photos she saw some of Sango and Kirara playing. She flipped through some more and found the one of her on Inuyasha's back. What caught her eye about the picture was when she was looking at the camera, she had thought Inuyasha was too, but instead he had been looking at her over his shoulder. What really caught her eye, was that he was smiling, and his face heald surprise. She had to admit that the picture was cute. She never got to see him looking so carefree.

Then came the one with Miroku and Sango. They were so cute together. They simply had to end up together. It was a match made in heaven. No matter how much Sango denied it. Then there was the Goshinboku. It turned out just beautiful. The sunlight hit it just right.

The last picture quickly became her favorite. It was the one of her and Inuyasha sitting comfortably in the god tree. She was looking at the camera, but once again Inuyasha had been looking at her. He had had both of his arms wrapped around her middle, and he had a look in his eyes that held an emotion she couldn't decipher.

There came a call from downstairs.

"Kagome, suppers ready!" It was her mother who called.

"Alright!" She yelled back still extremely depressed.

Once downstairs, Kagome sat at the table but hardly touched her food.

"Kagome, maybe you shouldn't go out to the well house anymore. It'll only bring back memories." Her mother said eying her daughter.

"Alright." She answered. "May I be excused? I'm, not really hungry." Kagome said standing and taking her plate.

"Of course dear." Her mother said being understanding. It was hard on a young woman to have the person she was in love with taken away from her. She knew that from experience. She took pity on her daughter and let her go.

"I'm gonna go to bed. Night." She said as she retreated up the stairs slowly.

"Goodnight dear." Her mother said to her daughter as she went up the stairs to her room.

- 6 months later-

-Feudal Era-

"Inuyasha has been really broken up since Kagome left." Miroku said to his fiance.

"Poor guy. He hardly eats and has been in the Goshinboku just looking at the jewel for the longest time." Miroku's fiance said.

"He was crushed when she left, I miss her too, but he was absolutely devastated. I wonder why?" Shippo asked.

"I know why. He told me. He said...

-flashback-

Inuyasha and Miroku were sitting under the god tree when Miroku asked him why he was so torn up about her leaving when he replied.

"I don't know what to do now that she's gone, because she was the only thing I really protected with my life. I...I always protected her because...I loved her."

-end flashback-

"That Shippo is why."Miroku stated looking into the glowing orange and yellow flames in the firepit. "Because he loved her."

-with Inuyasha-

Inuyasha awoke with a start. He had had that same dream again. 'The exact same dream for six months straight.' He thought to himself. 'Gods I miss her.' He looked towards the well. 'I had no idea it was going to be this hard. If I had, I wouldn't have let her go so easily. I hope she's happy.' With that last thought he sniffed the air. 'Damn, its gonna rain.'

-modern era-

Kagome was getting ready for her party. It was now time for her eighteenth birthday.

She sat if front of her mirror in her bedroom putting in a pair of earings. While she did so, she looked longingly at a picture which was taped to her mirror. It was the picture of her and Inuyasha, the one where she was on his back.

'I hope he's doing ok.' She thought to herself. 'Gods I miss him.' She looked out the window to the well house. 'If I had known it was going to be this hard, I wouldn't have left so easily. I really hope he's happy.' She looked at the clouds. 'Wonderful. Its gonna rain.'

She got up and walked to her desk, opening the small box on it and putting the ring Keade had given her on her middle finger. She had worn it everyday since she had gotten it.

'It sure has been a tough six months. School was aweful. I hated every second of it. All I could think of was Inuyasha.' She thought looking at herself in the mirror. She worea blue kimono that was very form fitting with a darker blue sash. She then went to her small radio and turned it on. It started to play her favorite song. It would always remind her of Inuyasha The words began to play and she sang along with it.

This time, this place.

misused, mistakes.

too long, too late.

who was I to make you wait?

just one chance, just one breath,

just in case there's just one left

cause you know, you know, you know

Chorus:

That I love you,

I have loved you all along.

and I miss you,

been far away for far too long.

I keep dreaming

you'll be with me and you'll never go.

Stop breathing ifI don't see you anymore.

On my knees, I'll ask

last chance for one last dance.

cause with you I'd withstand,

all of hell to hold your hand.

I'd give it all, I'd give for us

give anything but I won't give up

cause you know, you know, you know

That I love you

I have loved you all along

and I miss you,

been far away for far too long

I keep dreaming, you'll be with me and you'll never go.

stop breathing, if I don't see you anymore.

so far away,

been far away for far too long

so far away

been far away for far too long

but you know, you know, you know

I wanted, I wanted you to stay,

cause I needed, I need to hear you say

I love you, I have loved you all along

and I forgive you,

for being away for far too long

so keep breathing

cause I'm not leaving you anymore

believe it

hold onto me and never let me go.

hold onto me and never let me go.

hold onto me and never let me go.>

When the song ended she was crying.

'Today is the three year anniversary of the day we met. Maybe I should go out to the wellhouse. To pay my respects.' That decided, she grabbed Inuyasha's haori and headed downstairs.

"Kagome dear, your friends from school can't make it over here. It's really storming out there." Kagome's mother said from the kitchen. "They send their appologies."

"Oh, ok mom. I'm gonna go out to the well house, to...you know, pay my respects. Today is the three year anniversary of the day we met." Kagome said to her mother from the kitchen doorway.

"Ok dear. Be careful though. It's really pouring out there."

"I will mom." With her mothers approval, she put on her shoes and headed out the door to her well of memories.
