Chapter 3
~*~*~*LAST CHAPTER*~*~*~
Kagome was alone now again. The cold wind bit at her soft flesh mordantly as the rain continued to fall harshly on her tender skin. "I-Inuyasha?" she called out softly and pleadingly, before falling unconscious to her side.
~*~*~*AUTHOR'S POV*~*~*~
The dream ended and she woke up with a start. A layer of cold sweat covered her forehead and she shook violently, uncontrollable sobs raking her throat.
She stood shakily up and made her way to her dresser. Looking in the mirror, her reflection shocked even her. Her eyes, which were once bright and full of life, were now dark and glazed over with tears. Her once bright and cheerful face was solemn and pale. 'God, I look exactly like Kikyou!' Kagome mentally exclaimed. She continued to look at herself. "What does Inuyasha see in you Kikyou? Why-why can't he accept me for me? I'm not you, so does that automatically make me less of a person than you?" Kagome asked her reflection. Then she came to a conclusion.
Kagome narrowed her eyes just slightly, wiped away all her tears and putting on a completely uncaring façade, and pulled her hair back except for two locks in front, letting them hang down. If Kagome were standing right next to Kikyou at the moment, there wouldn't be a single difference between them.
Kagome's aura flared, surging with power. "You know, it's all your fault you got hurt in the first place," She said disgustedly to herself. "If only you hadn't fallen for him, none of this would have happened, you wouldn't be in so much pain right now. I-I swear that I'll NEVER be hurt like that, ever again," Kagome promised to herself.
She quickly went outside and into the old well house. "Three years of being an idiot, I can't believe I was such a fool. I trusted you, Inuyasha. I gave you my heart and soul. You turned me away but still lead me on. You told me you loved me, damnit! You told me straight to my face that you loved me! And I-I still love you somehow. But it's over now. Goodbye for good," Kagome declared to no one in particular as she stepped up on the rim of the well. Gazing steadily down, she could just make out the old arrow that was embedded into the sandy bottom of the well in the dim lighting. Kagome lifted one hand, palm facing down into the center of the well where the arrow was. Her already powerful aura flared again as she concentrated all of her energy into her palm. "Liar," she whispered, then forced out all the energy that had been concentrated into her right palm out and at the arrow.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Ever since Kagome had left, Inuyasha constantly stayed near the well. In hopes that Kagome would return and everything would be just like it used to be again. "He's been there for two weeks already!! Do you think he's eaten any of the food we left him?" Sango whispered.
"He probably has, I don't think there's a single youkai within a ten mile radius of here! I mean, he has to sustain himself with something!" Miroku replied gently, but he too was worried about his friend's health.
Shippou was fairing no better; he had begun to stay to himself and would often cry out for Kagome at night. None of them noticed what a major imprint she had left on their lives. Miroku had to literally force Sango to eat everyday. And Miroku himself had also been quieter and dare I say, less lecherous. (A/N: sorry I couldn't help myself there!) Inuyasha still clung to the Shikon no Tama that Kagome had thrown at him as a "parting gift", keeping it safe for her.
"Yes, I suppose you are right but he seems just so-" Sango began but cut herself off when she noticed the well start to glow.
Inuyasha noticed immediately and ran up to it, the all of a sudden a tremendous amount of energy burst forth and shot out of the well, Inuyasha had almost jumped head first into it but had stopped himself just in time right next to the edge. But that doesn't mean he wasn't affected. He was shot backwards again by the energy.
When the light faded, the well was no longer there only some dry, dead grass stood in the spot it was. The three people there could only gape in shock. Someone had completely destroyed the well. There could only be one person who could have done it and it was Kagome. Inuyasha fell to his knees on the dead grass and began to frantically dig into the dirt.
"Inuyasha?" asked Miroku tentatively. Lately, Inuyasha had been moody and easily irritated and being torn up into shreds was the last thing Miroku wanted right now. "I-I don't think you can get to her."
Inuyasha's pathetic attempt to dig his way to Kagome slowly stopped. He began to get up on one knee, then the other, the stand up. He looked at Miroku with something like pain, anger, and determination radiating in his eyes. "If you think I am gonna give up on Kagome this easily, then you're wrong. What would you have done if it was Sango?" Inuyasha hissed in a low hoarse voice. After a few moments, Miroku was the first one to break the eye contact and walked slowly back to where Sango was standing.
"You know, maybe Kaede-sama can help. Maybe you guys can make a spell to make another time portal or whatever it's called," Miroku said. Then turning to Sango, "Let's go back to the village, there's nothing for us to do here."
Their figures slowly faded in the horizon. A few moments later a shrill scream was heard. "MIROKU YOU HENTAI! KEEP YOUR DAMN HANDS TO YOURSELF!"
Inuyasha shook his head. Miroku will always be Miroku. But despite his lecherousness and ignorance, he gave good advice. Perhaps old Kaede-baaba did have something that could help. It was possible right? Inuyasha was about to turn towards the village when something caught his eye. Laying on the ground was a single sliver of the Shikon no Tama. Inuyasha stared at it in amazement. Then fished the jewel out of his kimono and inspected it. It was missing a small piece. He clutched the Shikon in his hand tightly, was that the reason why he couldn't get through to Kagome? Because the stupid purple rock was missing the smallest little sliver?!?! He grabbed the piece on the floor and headed off for the village.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The next morning, Kagome woke up much like she did the first. Her head throbbed and ached, she was dizzy on her feet, and she felt weak and completely drained of energy. But that shouldn't be a surprise considering that she did in fact use all her energy to destroy the well.
But it was worth it right? She was finally completely free from Inuyasha and her "past" life. He was happy with Kikyou. They deserved each other. But why did she feel so empty inside then? Wasn't she supposed to feel a small euphoria? No, she can't think of things like this. Her heart has had too many scars for her to add to its collection. Emotionless. That was how you had to be in order to not feel pain. Well, at least never to fall for anyone again. She knew too well from experience that that emotion, love, brings more pain then all the others put together.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"I am sorry, Inuyasha-san. I cannot resurrect the well at all. I do not have that much power and besides, how would I know that Kagome-san hasn't put a spell over it? But-" stated Kaede in that calm monotone she had learned from her sister and begun to use after her cremation.
"Kaede-sama! Shippou's gone! He ran away!! We need to go look for him!!" interrupted Sango. Inuyasha lowered his head.
"Leave the kitsune be," Inuyasha mumbled. "Let him do what he wants. I-I don't need him or that bitch either!" he yelled, storming out of the hut and knocking Sango over on his way out.
