They leapt throw the trees till they came to a tall oak tree. Edward stopped and climbed to the top of the tree and sat there waiting for Kagome to catch up. She was already sitting on the branch. They starred at each other for a few minutes. "Bella seems like a nice girl." "Yeah she's a trouble magnet though. She has a werewolf on the other side waiting for her to leave me." "Wow. I know you have something to say so say it." Edward took a deep breathe, "Tell me the truth: If you could have, if Sesshomaru had found you sooner would you have used your powers to save me?" "Of course I would have. That's what so upsetting about this whole thing. If either of them had found me sooner I could have saved you." Kagome said holding her locket. Edward nodded, "Ok one more thing. I looked for you after a while. The first time I saw you, were with your grandfather. He was showing you off to people." "Yeah he was trying to cheer me up, by finding me another beau. I wasn't interested, the one who had my heart was dead." Edward felt a little bad. "You said that Sesshomaru found you right after I died?" "Yeah the next day." "I looked for you a few months later. I couldn't find you. I looked everywhere, it was liked you disappeared. I gave up after a while thinking you went to live with your other grandparents. Where did you go?" "I went with Sesshomaru and Inuyasha. I couldn't stay in Chicago, everywhere I went I saw us. Or I heard your voice. Especially when I was in my room. I had some of your jackets. I couldn't sleep that night unless I had it with me. Having something that had your smell help me sleep. I stayed with my parents for two weeks after that then I went with my brothers. I took your things with me I have them in my room in a chest at the foot of my bed." "Would you have left me if I had lived?" "Left you? Edward we were getting married why would I leave you? I loved you, I still do." "If I had lived longer and we got married then if either of your brothers came for you. Would you have left me to go with them?" Kagome looked shocked and a little hurt. "Of course not Edward. I would have taken you with me." She stood up and jumped over to his branch. She stood right in front of him. She raised her hand to the crook of his neck. "One night while we were making love. As soon as we would hit our climax I would have sunk my fangs into your neck right here. And drank some of your blood, then you would have to drink some of mine. The blood would have made of us one completely. You would have gone threw some changes like I did. But they would be minor. You would share a life span with me. I didn't want to lose you, but I figured you were taken from me, they were too late." She looked up into his eyes, he stared into hers. They leaned closer to another. Kagome realized what was going on and stopped herself, "No Edward. Stop we can't. You have a girlfriend." She jumped back into the other tree. Edward shook his head trying to clear it. "You're right. Sorry. I was always wondering what happened to you. And what kind of life we would have had together. I never stopped loving you. But I have Bella now. I'm sure you have someone waiting for you." "No I don't. Believe it or not. I never really looked. I have been helping my brothers run the company and my sister-in-laws with the pups. I have never had time." "SO what happens now?" "Nothing. Let's be friends like we were. You all are the only people I know in town." Kagome said with a smile, "We were friends before we became engaged remember." She reached into her pocket and handed Edward her car keys. "Give those to Inuyasha for me. I feel like running tonight. I'll see you at school ok." She smiled and jumped off into the forest.

Edward watched her jump threw the trees. He ran back to the house. Inuyasha was sitting on his couch. Edward climbed through his window. "Give 'em to me." He handed Inuyasha the keys. "I didn't drive her to leave. She said she wanted to run." "Yeah I know. Listen kid, don't push her away. As you already know she's one of the most loyal girls you'll ever meet. Don't let the fact that you have another woman push you into thinking that you can't be friends with her. I know she still cares about you. And from the smell of things you still care about her too." Inuyasha walked out after that. He went and sat on the bed. The picture of them on the table next to his couch, he picked it up and looked at it for a while before going back downstairs.
