Kagome rolled out of bed and got ready for school. She ran down the stairs and into the kitchen for breakfast.
"So Kagome, tell us how was your date." Grandpa asked.
"It was really good, the movie was sad but I loved it." Kagome replied.
"What did you guys see?" Sota asked.
"The Notebook I cried and I think even Hojo was tearing but."
"Ugh what a wuss seeing that chick flick I bet Inu-"Sota's mom cut him off.
"Sota would you like another rice ball." She asked trying to stop him from bringing up Inuyasha.
"Sure thanks mom." Sota said scooping up the rice ball and stuffing it in his mouth.
Kagome scooted back from the table. "I'm going to go, don't wanna be late." Kagome grabbed her bag and headed towards the door. "Bye guys" she said as she closed the door behind her.
She walked alone in silence thinking about her and Hojo.
"Well he sure is sweet and he's the most popular boy in school but...He's no Inuyasha."
"Hey Kagome!" A voice called her taking her away from her thoughts. She turned around and saw Hojo running towards her.
"Oh hi Hojo." Kagome said when he finally reached her. She started walking again and he followed suit.
"Hey I had a great time last night."
"Oh yeah me too."Kagome said sounding as happy as she could.
"Well I was going to this jazz concert tonight with my cousin but she bailed at the last minute so could you like to go with me?"
"Well I do like jazz music" Kagome said
"Great." Hojo replied as the bell rang.
"I got to go see you tonight at six Kagome."
Kagome waved as Hojo ran down the hall and disappeared into a classroom. When Kagome entered her own class she saw her friends staring at her.
"What is it you guys?"
"Don't act all dumb Kagome, how'd the date go?"
"Didn't Ayumi tell you guys?"
"Well a little but we need details."
"Well um…" The teacher walked in and told everyone to take their seats before Kagome could begin.
"Saved by the teach." She thought as she open her algebra 2 book.
"Fox Fire!" Shippo used his fox fire on Kikyo's soul collects trying to make Inuyasha follow them. Inuyasha woke up due to all the yelling.
"Get away its you and that Kikyo's fault why Kagome wasn't come back. Get AWAY!" Shippo screamed as he sent another one to the ground.
Inuyasha stepped up behind Shippo.
"Shippo stop it." Shippo looked up at Inuyasha he's eyes were filled with tears but hey lowered his and the blast of fox fire in it vanished.
Inuyasha look at the soul collectors." Tell Kikiyo I'm not coming." The remaining soul collectors floated away to deliver the message to Kikiyo.
Inuyasha look back down at Shippo he was wiping the finally drops of tears from his eyes." Come Shippo lets go eat with the others." Shippo nodded and followed behind Inuyasha looking over his shoulder ever so often making sure the soul collectors weren't coming back.
They arrived shortly to Kaede's hut and walked inside to see Miroku, Sango and Kaede whispering but the stopped as soon as Inuyasha came inside.
"If you guys have something to say just say it." Inuyasha said bluntly.
They exchanged glances and said nothing.
"Well!" Inuyasha said.
"Inuyasha" Miroku finally spoke up. "Lady Kagome has been gone for almost a month. We don't even know if she will return so what of our search for the scared jewel shards."
Inuyasha stood still and looked at each of them." Kagome's ONLY been gone for a month and you want me to just give up and leave. What if she comes back while we're gone?"
"Yes child" Lady Kaede said "But what of Naurku do you want him to possess all the shards of ye jewel."
"No of coarse I don't but Kagome's more important then the jewel so I'm going to stay in the village until she returns. Plus Naurku will have to collect the ones that I have in order to complete the jewel so I'll just get the other pieces."
Sango, Miroku and Kaede all exchanged nervous expression but decided not to argue with Inuyasha he's mind was sent.
"Now I've got stuff to do, you guys take care of Shippo."
"Why can't I go with you?" Shippo wined
"Because its something I have to go alone now I'll be back before it dark ok."
"Yeah ok." Shippo said sadly as Inuyasha left the hut.
Inuyasha followed the scent of Kikiyo into the forest.
He came into the clearing and saw her sitting below a tree.
"I thought you were not coming Inuyasha." She said without looking at him.
"Yeah well I only came for one reason to tell you to leave me alone; I already told you I chose Kagome."
"Yes I remember how you told me that but, I've found out that she has left and will not return so now you and I can be together."
"No we can't because; I will wait forever for Kagome."
Kikyo's head shot up. Inuyasha could see the pain and anguish on it. It mad him hurt but he would let it show.
"Inuyasha why don't you love me anymore." The words stung him hard.
"I do Kikyo more than you'll ever know but I'm sorry I just love Kagome more.I have to go Goodbye" Inuyasha stared walk away
Kiyo's eyes softened as she spoke again(or sang)

Inuyasha stared at Kikyo in shock.
"Kikyo I'm sorry but I can't" Kikyo's tears filled with tears "then I must say goodbye Inuyasha know that I've always loved you."
Kikyo's body sudden started pouring out souls. Inuyasha stared at her; he knew what he was doing. She was finally letting go of this world and moving on.
The last soul was the biggest and had a shinning pink light around it, "That must be Kagome's" Inuyasha thought Kikyo's old body fell to the ground and smashed into a million pieces.
Inuyasha gathered them up and buried them. "Good bye Kikyo he said as he placed a flower on top of the graved of his first love.
