I found myself at the bone eaters well in a flash, I had no idea how I even go there. I was focused on one thing and one thing only, finding Inuyasha. I jumped through the well allowing the pink light to surround me as I traveled to the past. I began to pull myself up when my dress got caught on something. I quickly pulled off the under skirt that gave my dress its shape and pulled myself up. I looked around quickly when suddenly I felt cold droplets on my head. I looked up as rain fell around me.

"Of course… It rains in the most expensive outfit I will ever own…" I sighed and rushed over to the village.

I rushed up to Miroku and Sango's hut and swung the reed curtain out of the way. Everyone in the room looked up at me instantly.

"Kagome?" Sango asked.

"Where's Inuyasha?" I asked slightly out of breath.

"What's going on?" Shippo asked.

"Where's…"

"Why aren't you at your wedding?" Miroku asked.

"WHERE'S INUYASHA!!!!" I screamed.

They all fell silent for a moment as that unusual scream came from my body, "He began heading north a few hours ago…" Miroku finally said.

I ran out of the hut as fast I could, ignoring Sango's request for me to come back and change first. I ran down the path. Everything around me was a blur. I didn't pay attention to any of it, only one thing was on my mind, finding Inuyasha. I ran until my feet began to ache so much I almost cried. I stopped for a moment and sat on a rock. I began to pull off my shoes. My feet were so swollen they almost didn't come off. I threw them to the side and began to rub my feet. I sighed. I had been running for so long I thought I may die before I found him. I looked up the path. Not that far the path turned into a forest. Correction, I WAS going to die before I found him.

In my life, when I thought things were hard enough, the gods liked to show me that it could get even worse. As I stretched my arms above my head and rested, a shadow appeared around me. Very warm gusts of wind began to hit me from behind. I began to turn around as it began to growl at me. My eyes widened as they met a giant demon with red fur and yellow eyes.

"A beautiful woman walking alone, how fortuitous that my next meal will be this appealing," His jowls curled around his fangs into what looked like a smile. I screamed as I took off at a dead sprint. The demon roared as it followed close behind me.

"INUYASHA!!!!!" I screamed. This seemed to be a habit that I just couldn't break. Always calling his name for help. It seemed to do me no good this time. I knew the truth. In the back of my mind, I knew he wasn't going to save me this time. I continued to run for my life. A large rock wall suddenly came into view. Unable to stop myself I ran right up to it and began to reach for something to climb, but there was nothing to grip onto. This was the end. I turned to face the demon who had fallen behind somewhat, but then came into view. This seemed like a fitting fate. I was unable to find Inuyasha, I would never be able to tell him how I really feel. Without him, I refused to live. I closed my eyes and awaited my demise.

"Kaze no kizu!!!!" I heard the familiar battle cry and opened my eyes to see a bright flash of light. As the light faded the large demon fell to the ground. Before me stood a white haired demon dressed in red robes. My eyes filled with tears as I slid down to the ground. The demon's white pointy ears twitched and he turned. His amber eyes met with mine. Tears began to stream down my face as I looked at his boyish face.

"Kagome," His voice was smooth, but had a hint of anxiousness throughout it, "Are you hurt?" I was unable to respond. He sheathed his sword and walked over to me. How could this be happening? How could he be here? Had he heard me call? He crouched down to meet me at eye level, "Kagome?" He touched my face. I didn't deserve this after what I had put him through, "Are you alright?" His worry began to fill his face. I was still unable to answer him. I was too stunned. He placed his hands on my shoulders and shook me slightly, "Kagome?!"

"Inuyasha!!!" I screamed as I lunged forward tackling him. I sobbed into his chest as we hit the ground. There were no words. He merely put his arms around me and held me. His hold around me was so tight and comforting. He was so warm. I wanted to stay there forever.

"Kagome…" Was all he said. I continued to sob into his chest. I felt like a complete idiot, but I didn't care. I felt him rise slowly, taking me with him, and he sat me on my knees. I pushed me away from him slightly. No! I didn't want to be away from him. He only pushed me back far enough to see his face, "What are you doing here you idiot? You could've died!" My vision was still blurry, but I could make out rough shapes. I focused on the amber orbs that I knew were his eyes. I began to cry even harder.

"I'm so sorry!" I managed to choke out. I threw my face into his chest again, "I'm sorry I'm so stupid! I'm sorry it took me this long to figure this out! I can't live without you! Please don't leave me again!" I continued to sob.

He didn't respond. He wrapped his arms around me again holding me even tighter. There we remained for a long time. Not moving at all. I listened to his heartbeat. That and our breathing were the only sounds around us. My sobs slowed slightly as he rose again, cradling me in his arms. With my face still buried in his chest he leaped into the air. The speeding air blew passed me. He was so comfortable. In his arms I felt safe, and at home. I clutched his robe as he landed softly on the ground and sprinted. I nuzzled my face into his chest. Soon I was asleep.
