Summary: Kagome contemplates jumping into the well.

A/N Part VII of "Child Birth Complications"

Kagome was torn. With one word she had unlocked the key to the well. All she had to do was jump and she would be home again. Home in her own bed. Home with her family and friends. Home where all of the conveniences of modern life awaited her. Home where she did not have face the two men whose love tore her apart. At last, Inuyasha spoke and disturbed her reverie.

"Feh, I know how homesick you are. We can never replace the family that you left behind when you came back to me. This time does not offer the safety and conveniences that you will find you in your era. But Kagome, if you go through that well you might as well cut out my heart and take it with you.. I stood vigil by the well waiting for you for three years. The thought of never seeing you again is more than I can take. I would rather you went with Sesshoumaru than go through the well."

"Hn"

Kagome and Inuyasha turned at the sound of his voice. Finally, Kagome broke the silence.

"Do you have something to say to me, Sesshoumaru?"

"Stay."
