Final Breakdowns and Still Doubting
Chapter 25
Still thinking, Kagome walked up to the forest. Inuyasha's forest, named after him when he was supposed to be dangerous and finally got pinned to a tree by Kikyo. She wondered why she had been involved into that all. So she was a relative to Kikyo… in fact, her reincarnation. But still… Why didn't her mother fall into that well… Since she was an ancestor too…
But that didn't matter. She was the one that fell down the well. And she had to make sure she didn't hurt anyone… As before, the option of taking them with her occurred in her mind. But they wouldn't know how to live in the 21st century… and would they want to be in that noisy, busy city that was her home? She wouldn't know… And guessing didn't make her happier…
She finally saw where Inuyasha was. Up the Goshimboku tree he sat, staring to the place the sun had set some time ago. She sat down at that tree and pulled her legs up to her chin.
"Ano… Inuyasha?"
"Yeah…?"
"You know… I… I should be getting home sometime…and…"
"I know… You should… Go back whenever… whenever you want…"
*You don't belong here… Going back would only be natural. I'd wish you wouldn't have to go… but it's the right thing to do.*
"But… You guys are my very best friends… I-I can't just leave you guys…"
"Still it is the thing that was supposed to happen. You can't change where you came from."
"But you know… I've been thinking of a compromise- don't decide too rushed-I thought about…"
"Yeah…"
"Maybe… Maybe it's possible that you guys would come with me-with me to the 21st century…" Kagome stuttered, and added hastily, "Don't rush your decision!"
"Ask the others first. It's not only me who should be coming with you, I guess…"
"Ehm… Well yeah that is exactly what I was gonna do…" Kagome rushed. That didn't go too bad… he didn't say 'no'… The others wouldn't be too hard to convince, she guessed. They had nothing to hang on to in this time. Sango… her whole village was vanished. There was nothing there anymore. Miroku only had that weird old priest with his drinking problems. Shippo didn't have any family, and besides that, he always thought of Kagome as his mommy. But Inuyasha… That's something else. Everything that had happened between Kikyo and him, whole his being was in the Sengoku Jidai. All of his memories, good and bad… He had spend 50 years pinned to that tree! Still, it was there at here time, but… Everything was different. And he'd be the weird one, with his ears and silver hair..
She entered the hut again to find them all sound asleep. Sleeping would be the best for her, too. She curled up in her sleeping bag and fell into a rushed sleep. She turned and turned, and woke early in the morning, without having the feeling she had slept at all. It was time to ask the others her final favour.

Sorry it's so short, I'm having little time and I'm not in the mood to write. That means I'll be only ruining the plot. This is definitely not the end. Oww no… There is a lot to come. Please tell me what I'm doing wrong or something… constructive criticism comes in handy! And review please… I want to be heading towards 100… ^_^
