Finally a chapter that's a little quick on the net. Satisfied? I hope so…

Final Breakdowns and Still Doubting

Chapter 24

"Kagome-chan! You can't get up now! You're supposed to lay down and rest!"

"I know, Sango… But of what I heard of you guys… I think I need to go look for Inuyasha…"

"Who cares about him… HE will be fine… YOU will get even more sick if you go out to look for him!"

"Sango-chan… I need to…"

"You stay in bed. He can wait!"

"Kagome… I think you should go…" Kaede suddenly interrupted the conversation.

"See!"

"But Kaede-sama… She's only just awake and she shouldn't…"

"It's not raining anymore, the sun is even shining, so I don't think it'd do any harm…"

"I'm going!" Kagome said while getting up quickly.

"Be careful… Kagome-chan…"

"Don't worry, Sango-chan… I'll be fine!"

~*~

*So I should go back to them… But Kagome had almost jumped through the well… because of me… And… Why would she even be still here…? She'll go back to her time as soon as possible…*

"Inuyasha!" he suddenly heard, a faint voice.

*Kagome… Why are you coming here..*

"Inuyasha!!" Kagome yelled harder. Didn't he hear her?

Inuyasha turned his back to her and walked further away from her as if he didn't hear anything.

"Inuyasha! Wait for me!!" Kagome started to run after him. Why was he walking away from her?

*Kagome… Live your life… Be happy… Forget about me…*

"Inuyasha!! YOU BIG JERK!!!" she yelled after him.

*Kagome…*

She ran as fast as she could, but -in her condition- she couldn't run that hard.

*Kagome… Don't try to come after me…*

"Inuyasha! Why don't you wait for me!! Why?!"

*Kagome… Why'd you have to make it this hard for me? Couldn't you just go back…*

"Inuyash-" she began, but she tripped over a rock and fell down.

"Kagome!" he said while he turned around. He couldn't just let her lie there like that, could he?

"Inuyasha… Why don't you wait for me…" she whispered. Inuyasha came running towards her, but she was so exhausted of running after him, she couldn't get up anymore.

"Kagome! Are you alright?"

"Inuyasha… Why didn't you wait for me…?"

"Are you okay, Kagome?"

"I'm fine, but why didn't you wait for me? Why were you getting away from me…"

"That doesn't matter. I'll get you to Kaede's."

Kagome got on his back and they went to Kaede's, but Kagome couldn't figure why Inuyasha would be running away from her. Why'd he do that?

"Inuyasha… Why did you walk away when I called you?"

"Kagome…"

"Why don't you want to tell me? It's not like I'll bite you or something!"

"It just doesn't matter, anymore, Kagome…"

"But I…" she started, but understood that he if he didn't want to say it, she'd probably never hear it from him.

*Kagome… I'll never go away again. I realised that you, and all the others, are too important to me. Maybe you guys can forgive me… I was actually the only one that made a big deal out of it…*

They got to Kaede's hut, and Kagome rushed in.

"Guys! Inuyasha's back!"

"He's come back?"

"He's finally got some brain in his head!"

BAF

"That doesn't mean you're not gonna get hit, Shippo…"

"Well done, Kagome…" Kaede whispered to her.

"But ehm… Guys… You don't mind me being here, do you…?" Inuyasha asked them, a little uncertain.

"Of course not!" Miroku said, and whispered "Shippo… You said he finally got brains in his head…?"

"Don't forget I still got ears, Houshi…"

"I think I'll make you guys some Ramen…"

~*~

Later that evening they were all stuffed with Ramen and little Shippo had already fallen asleep. Inuyasha went out to the forest, as usual to relax in a tree. Sango, Miroku, Kaede and Kagome were talking about all the things that had happened. Shippo laid in Kagome's lap, sometimes making cute sleeping-sounds.

"Kagome-sama… Why would Inuyasha first try to get away from you, and then come to get you and say that it doesn't matter anymore?"

"I'm sorry… I don't know it either…"

"You say you tripped, Kagome?" Kaede asked.

"Yeah I did… and then he came to me and got me here."

"He couldn't leave you laying there like that. You were in pain and couldn't get up by yourself."

"But why did he walk away from me while I was coming to him?"

"He had made a decision and since you were fine and you could just go back to your time… He probably figured you'd be happy in your time and you'd live a normal life."

"That figures…" Sango said, "But… Kagome-chan, it's getting late and I'm really tired. I'm gonna get some sleep…"

"Good night, Sango-chan. I think I'll go see where Inuyasha is hanging out…"

"I'm gonna get some sleep too…" Miroku said.

Glare…

"YOU STAY AWAY FROM ME OKAY!!!"

"Sango, Sango… Don't think of me like that… I'm just a humble monk…"

"Yeah, just like this house is haunted by evil spirits… SURE!!!"

"Actually, I sense a weird aura around you…"

"STAY-AWAY-FROM-ME!!!"

"But…"

SMACK

Kagome smiled at this scene. They'd make a great couple... She just wished she and Inuyasha could be such a couple… She didn't tell the others, but… she should be getting home sometime… She had almost been away for a month… Wouldn't her parents be worrying? How would the others react and… How would Inuyasha react…?

"Sango-chan…" she whispered to herself.

She was about to say goodbye to her dearest friends. She didn't want to leave them OR her family behind…

~*~

Yeah… Just as you thought all the problems were solved… I can get this story up to as much chapters as I want, guys… But still, this problem had to be solved one day. Anyway, when I have finished this story I'll probably start a whole other story… I'm thinking about an Inuyasha-Kikyo-Sesshoumaru triangle sort of thing, before the Kagome stuff and all…I know that is totally not me but I'm having an idea and I think it's gonna be cool, so… Anyway, tell me what you think of the story so far and tell me what you think of my new idea!!!

And sorry for the delay, I'm working on a non-fanfic story called 'I'll live my life'. It tells a part of my life that I really had trouble with. And still have, but that doesn't matter. Go to if you wanna read it.
