Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha or any other characters in the series, though I wish I did. ~Day dreaming about Inuyasha on a cold winter night sipping hot chocolate with me next to a fire~ Oh sorry. I got a little sidetracked.

OK this chapter is a little confusing so here are some guidelines to help ya out.

~*~*~*~* = setting change. Most likely going to a time in the past

Italicized words = things that happened in the past (there's a lot of that in this chapter)

Changing the past to fix the future.

Chapter 1: How far will you go to get him back?

"Kagome, please come out. It's been so long since you even moved from that chair and we know you haven't eaten anything in weeks. It's not healthy for you to be acting like this. Please Kagome." Sango pleaded with her friend.

"Hey at least she's saving money on her electrical bills." SMACK. After Sango got done with beating the living daylights out of Miroku she hissed,

 "Were trying to make her get the lights back ON dimwit. She's been in the dark for days now."

Kagome didn't notice that the lights were off. She hadn't for the past few weeks. She didn't respond to calls that came for her but only let the machine pick them up. There were at least 40 a day, saying how sorry they were for her loss and wondering if they could do anything to comfort her now?

Comfort her. That's what he used to do when she was scared. How he held her in his lap and told her everything was going to be ok now that they could be together…forever.

She despised that word now. Forever. It held no meaning, no value. Just another empty promise like so may other things in her life at that time. They had worked so hard and lost so much only to gain what felt like a moment of happiness? She wished that he hadn't become human. If he didn't he would have survived. He would still be alive.

The worst thing in her life was the wake. She insisted not to let his body be anywhere out of her reach because she new that some how she was going to get him back. She was ranting and raving to the point of hysteria until Sango finally had to come over to her and walk her outside to calm down.

Now that she thought about it they had been very supportive, also believing that they could get him back. With everything they already went through back in the feudal era it wasn't that far fetched.

But as time went on they slowly began to realize that bringing people back from the dead was not done to often in this time and they couldn't go back to the feudal era to seek Kaedes advice so they to succumbed to the fact that Inuyasha was truly dead.

It had been a number of weeks for them to even be able to talk to Kagome. They knew she wasn't eating much and didn't have any lights on. It had been unhealthy for her to act like this all the time. They had to get her out of that little apartment and do something to take her mind off of the pain.

"Ok Kagome, I'm going to break down that god damn door if you don't come out of it in less then five seconds. One, Two…THREE," Miroku interrupted her.

"Lady Sango, I'm surprised at you! Trying to knock down the door of a mourning girl…" Sango looked quite ashamed of her self "…only to realize that there is a much easer was of getting Kagome out."

Sango looked at the monk quizzically then as if someone whispered an idea into her ear her face lit up, and then grew into a devilish smile. Miroku nodded when Sango finally understood what he was talking about.

"Kagome dearest. I went shopping last night and I bought some new Chocolate. Do you think you could taste it for me and tell me what you think, you know, because you are the official chocolate tester of the group."

Chocolate. Kagome was the biggest chocoholic ever and everyone knew it. She knew that she had to get out but she didn't want to… mmmm…chocolate. She knew that if Inuyasha were here he would be yelling at her not to waste her life away over him. And with the mixture of guilt and the temptation of chocolate she dragged herself out of the chair, shuffled over to the door and opened it a crack.

Miroku and Sango could see how unkepted and disheveled she looked. They instantly felt a ping of pity for their dear friend. This once powerful creature reduced down to this. They both made a silent vow right there that no matter what they did they would help Kagome overcome this obstacle in her way.

"Did somebody say they had chocolate?"

After Kagome showered, dressed and devoured at least 45$ worth of Mirokus chocolate the three friends were walking down the sidewalk of Tokyo. It was winter out so they all huddled together for warmth making sure that Kagome was I the middle and trying to laugh at everything possible.

"So what do you want to do now Kagome?" Sango asked in her most cheerful voice.

"Oh I know!" squealed Miroku. "We could go out to buy video games or sledding…"

Kagome couldn't help but feel a little aggravated. Her two friends were treating her like a stupid two year old. Holding her hands and asking her if she wanted them to buy things for her. She didn't mind the attention at all but she was now 19 and it felt a little weird being dragged around by two of your friends who were acting like they were your parents.

  She had made a promise with herself at the beginning of the day that she would start her new life today. She wasn't going to say better life because lets face it; life without Inuyasha sucked…a lot. But she knew that he wouldn't want her to waste away like that.

"…Could see a movie or go out to a nice restaurant, um Kag, are you even listening to me?"

Kagome was startled from her thoughts by a worried looking Sango and a rather annoyed looking Miroku. She didn't hear a word he had just said because she was once again mopping about how Inuyasha was gone. She had so snap out of this slump. Get her old life back. She knew she could never forget him but she also couldn't let him dictate her life while he was…gone for the moment.

"You know what guys." Kagome said cheerfully which gave her some concerned looks from her two friends. "Ice staking sounds really good right about now, with hot chocolate, then how about a movie and then dinner. Is that two much?"

Sango looked like she just won a triathlon and Miroku was doing a little victory dance in the back round. While Miroku ran up to Kagome and hurriedly ran her to the ice skates check out booth, Sango stayed back for a while. They had finally gotten their Kagome back after so much hard work, but she still wasn't ready to let her guard down. It seemed like Kagome was back but it was different, forced. She didn't want to see her friend fall apart again like she did at the wake. She also hoped that Miroku forgot about the promise they made that same night.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"He's not dead!! Why are people taking him away from me? He can't leave. Him and me were supposed to be together. He promised me. HE PROMISED ME!" Kagome was wailing like she just, well like she just lost the love of her life. Her body was violently shaking with sobs and her mascara was leaving huge black streaks down her face.

"He didn't want to leave Kagome but…" Sangos voiced chocked as she tried to get the rest of the sentence out "but these things happen and we can't control how the out come is. I'm so sorry Kagome. None of us saw this coming and we did all we could to try and bring him back but we couldn't. He's…"

"DON'T SAY IT!" She screamed. "DON'T YOU DARE SAY IT SANGO. You and I both know that if we try hard enough we can bring him back." Kagome sounded like an animal pushed to their limits, about to break at any moment. Feeble, weak and timidly she said, " We have to bring him back."

The rest of the night Sango spend in Kagomes room holding her dear friend till she could hear the soft even breathes of sleep coming from her body. She gently laid her on the bed and left to find Miroku in the room across the hall.

 When she opened the door she found her boyfriend asleep on the couch with a little blanket draped over him. She put her hand over her mouth to try and hide the giggle that was rising in her throat but it was loud enough to wake him.

"Dearest Sango" he murmured "How's Kagome holding up?"

Sango sighed, "Not to well I'm afraid. It took her at least 3 hrs just for her to stop crying and that little display at the wake this afternoon was horrible." Miroku looked off into space.

"Do you think we could…you know…" he said.

"We could what?" she asked questionly

"I don't know." He said while drawing little circles on the cushion of the couch he was laying on. "Maybe Kagome was right. You know it's not impossible, I mean look at Kikyou."

"YES"-shouted Sango. "LOOK AT KIKIYOU. THAT HOLLOWED OUT DISCRACE OF A CORPS THAT WALKS THE EARTH LIKE SHES ONE OF THE LIVING."

"Ok ok sorry I brought it up but I'm not saying that it can't be a possibility." He said

"Maybe if we were back their…maybe. But not in this time, they won't accept it. They can't even understand it."

"But it doesn't mean that it can't be done and you know it. Aren't you tired of seeing them get pulled apart time after time? Doesn't it hurt you like it hurts me?"

"Yes of course it dose but she has to figure it out on her own. We can't help her too much."

"Sango I'm tired of seeing either my best friend die or yours only to be reborn into a next life so the same thing can happen again. We remember our past lives, they don't and I think I'm going to help her remember." He sounded serious

"Fine. I'll try and get her out of her room in a couple of weeks and we will show her how to get him back."

"Or better yet show her who can help get him back." Sango nodded and sighed as she fell down on Miroku on the couch. He intertwined his arms around her waist as she nuzzled comfortably into his chest. They had made up their mind. They were going to show her everything. Just as Sango was about to fall asleep she heard Miroku whisper something softly in her ear.

"Promise me you will help me show her how to bring him back. So we can all finally be with each other, safe and happy. Promise me."

As Sango slowly drifted into dreamland she heard herself mutter, "Promise roku."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Ok she promises to help her friend and she would help no matter what.

"Oi, Sango." She turned her head to see Kagome and Miroku waiting for her impacently to get her skates so they could go out onto the rink.

"Are you going to be joining us anytime today? Or do you like just standing there looking like an idiot while you freeze your ass of?" Miroku's smile suddenly fell when a very enraged Sango made her was quickly over to him and knocked him on the head.

"Shall we go then?" Sango said to Kagome who was looking at the pitiful heap Miroku's unconscious body made on the ground. She was no fool. She didn't want to make Sango wait any longer for fear of pissing her off like Miroku did.

"Yea let's go."

The two girls slowly lased up their skates and hesitantly looked out onto the ice. Kagome hadn't been ice-skating for almost…hmmm…lets see…two years. She remembered she used to be really good when was about fifteen or sixteen. Being able to do complexes jumps and combinations she dazzled all of her friends. Now that she looks back on it she wonders why she ever stopped skating? Then it hit her. I was back then…with him.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Inuyasha it's not like the lake is going to brake under the massive weight of your ENORMOUS muscles." Kagome was getting a little tired and made of trying to convince the hanyou to come ice skating with her.

It was her first time being in the feudal era when it was winter and it was break taking. The snow was so white and pure that she played and hopped around in it all day, consequently leading to no work on finding the jewel shards, which really pissed off Inuyasha.

When she saw the lake though she wanted to die. It was so big and she wanted to show off for her new friends. She was lucky enough to be able to dig some of her old ice skates out for Sango and borrow two pairs from Hojo for Inuyasha and Miroku.

When she showed the skates to her three friends Miroku was excited, Sango was a little hesitant, but willing to try in and Inuyasha…well.

"No way."

"Why not?"

"Because I said so that's why."

Then Kagome had the idea of a lifetime.

"Oi, Miroku, I think he's scared." Kagome said grinning madly.

Inuyashas face dropped immediately and Sango burst out laughing. Miroku on the other hand decided not to let Kagome have all the fun and joined in on the mock feast that she was giving Inuyasha.

"Dear Kagome, now why would you say something as horrible as that?" Kagome and Inuyasha both couldn't believe their ears.

Had Miroku just given up a chance to mock Inuyasha?

 Had Miroku just defended me against Kagome?

"We all know it takes Inuyasha a little bit longer then most people to process things in his head so we have to give him at least five more minutes before we can even assume he knew what you said."

Kagome and Sango were both rolling around in the snow laughing hard while a pissed of hanyou sputtered "you better start running if ya know what's good for Yaaaaa." CRASH.

Kagome and Sango both looked up just in time to see Inuyasha do a face plant on the ice while Miroku was gliding around with ease.

"Oh Inuyasha." Kagome said sweetly. "You only use your toe pick when you want to stop, not go fast." (A.N. A toe pick it that sharp little razor edge on the tip of an ice skate. Yea I did the same thing Inuyasha did my first time out and let me tell ya it hurts like a monkey.)

"Stupid ice skates…grumble…stupid Miroku." Inuyasha was getting more and more mad by how easily Kagome, Sango and Miroku had picked up Ice-skating and he was still sitting on the snow-covered bank of the river.

Kagome saw Inuyasha all by himself and decided that she had ignored him enough for one day and it was time to teach him how to skate. She effortlessly glided over to him and stops just short of a foot of where he was sitting.

"Need any help?"

"What I need is for you to get these dumb looking shoes off of my feet."

"First off they're skates, second you didn't even try to learn. You just sat here and grumbled as I thought the other two. Don't you wana skate with me?"

Of course her wanted to skate with her. Hell he'd love to chase her around the lake only to finally grab her from behind and throw her into the snow where then he would proceed to play snow wrestling until they were both laughing and excused. Though he would never tell her that.

"Ok ill try, but if I don't get it like you said I will I promise I will burn these stupid skates when you're asleep."

"Don't worry you will get it I promise, you just have to have some courage and a great teacher. You already have one of those things." Said Kagome looking proud.

"Yea I know." Said Inuyasha quietly looking at the ground

Kagome's heart stopped in her chest for a second. Did he…did he just agree with her. Does he think that she was a good teacher too? Does he want her to teach him to ice skate? Maybe he thought she was good at other things too? A whole new world of possibilities just opens up in Kagome's mind.

"I've always been complemented on my courage." Inuyasha said with a smirk.

The thousands of beating Miroku took form Sango was going to be nothing compared to what Kagome had in mind for this certain cocky, wiseass hanyou. The glare she was giving him certainly worked too because in less then 1 .5 seconds Inuyasha was skating as far away from Kagome on the ice like he was a pro. And in less than 2.5 seconds…Kagome was chasing right after him.

Inuyasha looked behind him to see Kagome quickly catching up to him, then thought. Hmm, this wasn't how it was necessarily suppose to happen, I was suppose to be chasing her, but it still works for me.

He quickly turned on his edges and was now skating backwards, facing Kagome and taunting her as they went along.

He's pretty good for a beginner, she thought. It took me at least two hours just getting use to the skates before I could do that. They chased and frolicked around on the ice until Inuyasha thought it time to take this into his own hands. He turned sharply and our of Kagome's line of direct vision.

Where did that jerk go, she thought for a moment until she felt two strong arms pick her up form behind. How in the world did he get behind me so quickly and…oh no…not the snow.

"Inuyasha no, I'm not going to be tossed into another one of your insane snow fights." Kagome was quickly cut off because she was now buried head deep in a bank of snow. She could hear the sound of laughter from behind her and plowed her way out only to find her cloths covered in white snow.

"Wow kagome, going for the albino look I see." Said Inuyasha with a smug grin.

Kagome blushed as she tried to dust off the snow as best as she could. Sango came over to help her clean off.

"Inuyasha is right Kagome. You being that white just makes your blush stand out that much more." Miroku commented

Sango and Kagome were both giving the boys a death glare when they looked at each other and smiled. They both quickly turned back to the snow bank and scampered off to change from their ice skates to their regular shoes.

The boys looked at them in bewilderment but followed none the less.

When Miroku and Inuyasha reached the site that they all had camped out in they didn't see the girls anywhere. They looked at each other just as a little clump of snow plopped down on Miroku's head. Both boys looked up in the trees to find Sango and Kagome armed and ready with a hell of a lot of snowballs.

"FIRE." Both girls screamed at once.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Kagome looked at the rink in front of her, still hearing the laughter of the snowball fight of the past echo in her ears. She left her ice skates there by accident and the next day she has sensed a jewel shard so they had no time to go back. She guess that ice skating was just not as important to her as finding the jewel shards or being with her friends. Being with him. They were so happy back then.

"Ready Kagome." Sango said as she finished lacing up her skates. To her disappointment she looked up only to find her friend looking out at the rink with silent tears streaming down her face.

"Sango…I can't." she croaked out pitifully. "Who am I kidding? Everything I've ever done practically I've done with him. And everything I will continue to do, I will continue to think of him. I want him back so much." Kagomes fragile little body was racked with tears and sobs to no end.

Miroku heard the commotion from all the way across to the food court where he happened to be picking up hot chocolate for the girls. He hurried over to the girls forgetting all about the drinks and ran to see Sango escorting Kagome into the bathroom.

"What happened?."

"She thought of Inuyasha again."

"Ok Sango that's it. I'm not going to let her cry anymore. We are going to tell her how to get him back ok."

"Miroku."

"No Sango. If you don't then I will but trust me I think she is going to need both of our help to prepare for what she is about to go through."

With a heavy sigh Sango nodded and waited for Kagome to return so she could help her get Inuyasha back.

Who. That took me a while to write but it's all good now. I hope you enjoy it and review it please because I love to get feed back from people. Well ill c ya later and happy thanksgiving to all! Jane.
