" What the heck!?!?!?! Why wont this thing work? What's wrong with it! " He
jumped out and tried again, but still it wouldn't work. He jumped out again
but this time he turned and stared at the well.
" What could be keeping me from going to Kagome's time? "
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kagome climbed out of the well she walked up the stairs and shut the door behind her, not even glancing at the well. She made her way up to her room not replying when her mom said, " Welcome back, Kagome. How long are going to be here this time? " Instead, Kagome walked faster trying to get to her room before she started to cry again. When she got up the stairs she shut her door behind her and fell onto her bed. She pulled a pillow to her face as she cried. Then stopping, she turned and faced the ceiling.
" Why did I think he would care?
He left, Once again to go to . . . her.
He's probably happy I'm gone.
Now there's no one to get in his way,
No one to slow him down.
She's much stronger than I am.
Much prettier.
He told me himself the day we met that she was much cuter.
Why did I think he would fell the same way about me as I did of him?
I'm so stupid! "
Tears rolled slowly down her face. She reached up and wiped them away with the back of her hand. She then closed her eyes and took a deep breath to try and get rid of the funny feeling in her stomach. And before she knew it she was asleep.
~*~*~*~*~*~
It was totally black. Inuyasha couldn't see a thing. " Kagome.Sango.Miroku, Shippo, were are you guys ? " Just then he felt a hand on his shoulder. " You don't need them Inuyasha. You have me now. And I'm ALL you need. " Inuyasha knew that voice, it was Kikyo.
" What's going on? Why can't I see anything? " He asked but the hand was gone and he couldn't feel nor hear Kikyo anymore. Then . . . He woke up.
His eyes flashed open. He sat up from his relaxed position in the tree. It was about 1:00 in the morning, and very dark. He looked up to see the moon shining brightly in the sky. He leaned back in the tree when he heard someone approaching. It was Shippo. " Inuyasha.Inuyasha where are you? "
" look up " Inuyasha said. Shippo never came looking for him unless it was important. He usually was afraid of the dark. He wouldn't go out in it unless Kagome or someone else was with him.
" Inuyasha.what happened? Why did she leave? " Shippo's eyes were red from crying.
" I'll tell you in the morning.now go get some sleep. " He then watched as Shippo turned and walked back to the hut. He didn't say a word. He didn't even mumble anything under His breath he just walked away. After he was sure Shippo was gone he looked up at the stars and whispered, " Kagome.Please come back soon. You cant leave us.me.forever " he then closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep. "
~*~*~*~*~*~
The next day he awoke tired and hungry. He made his way out of the tree towards the hut. When he got there he walked in to see Shippo eating the candy bars Kagome had left him. Sango was eating some noodles left over from last night. Miroku was sitting in the corner staring at Shippo. He seemed to be in another world. He had a troubled look on his face.
" What's this? " Said Shippo holding up a cloth bag. It had been hidden among his candy.
" It's the jewel. " said Miroku as he turned his head to face the window. " I saw Kagome put it there last night. When she handed you the candy, she wrapped the string from the top of the bag around one of your candy bars. She was truly intending on not returning."
Miroku then looked at Inuyasha. Inuyasha had a look of disbelief. He couldn't and wouldn't believe she never wanted to return. He just couldn't. Shippo opened up the bag to see if Miroku was right, and he was. The jewel fell into Shippo's hand. Shippo began to cry. The jewel reminded him of Kagome and he missed her a lot.
" You stupid half-breed!!! It's your entire fault she left!!! " Shippo yelled as he threw the jewel at Inuyasha. He then ran out the door crying. " Shippo.Wait!!! " Yelled Sango as she made her way from where she was sitting to run after the little Kitsune. Miroku watched Sango run out the door then looked over at Inuyasha again. What he saw he would never forget. Inuyasha picked up the jewel and held it tightly in is hand. He shivered slightly as a tear ran down his cheek.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
As Inuyasha stared at the jewel in his hand, he began to think the Kitsune was probably right.
' Even though I don't know why she left,
I have a feeling it's probably because of me.
And probably because of me she is never coming back.
Never.
It's time to face reality.
She's gone,
Forever . . .
Because of me. '
He knew he was crying, but for some reason he didn't care. There were more important things to worry about. Like.how he was going to live without Kagome.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kagome opened her eyes to realize it was morning. She tried to remember what happened last night or why she was still in her clothes from yesterday. Then it all came back to her. She sat up and made her way up from her bed. She glanced at the mirror and realized she needed a shower. Her clothes were dirty and her hair was a mess. She opened a drawer and pulled out some clean clothes then made her way down the hall to the bathroom.
After she had taken her shower, she began down stairs when she smelt something delicious. ' What is that smell? ' She thought as she continued down the stairs. When got down she found her mother cooking breakfast. She immediately handed a plate to Kagome. Kagome sat down and began to eat. She loved her mothers cooking. It was way better than Raman or stew, which seemed to be all the people in Feudal Japan ate, or at least all that they ate.
When Kagome was done eating she made her way up to her room only to realize that there was nothing to do but then, the phone rang.
" Hey Kagome! " Said Hojo when she answered the phone. " How are your cancer treatments going? "
" Good.In fact I'm completely healed " Replied Kagome while making a personal note to have good long talk with her grandpa.
" Great! I was wondering, would you like to come with me to get some ice cream? It's not a date but it can be if you want it too. "
Kagome didn't want to go, but she was bored anyway so what could it hurt?
" Sure, when do you want to go? "
" Now if that's ok with you?
" Perfect ill meet you there in 10 minute's. "
" Ok, Bye! "
" Bye "
Kagome hung up the phone and walked over into the mirror. She changed out of her school uniform into a blue summer dress. Then brushed her hair and slipped on her shoe's. ' Even if this isn't all that fun, at least I've got something to do now! ' She grabbed her purse and left.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
" Inuyasha . . .are you alright? " Asked Miroku even though he knew he wasn't going to get a response. Inuyasha just got up and walked out. He made his way towards the woods and found the sacred tree. He climbed up to his usual spot and looked up at the sky. " I wonder what Kagome's doing right now? "
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kagome climbed out of the well she walked up the stairs and shut the door behind her, not even glancing at the well. She made her way up to her room not replying when her mom said, " Welcome back, Kagome. How long are going to be here this time?
