Before I die
By: Goijh
Author's note: I apologize before hand. This chapter is short. I know. This chapter's a cliff hanger. I know. This chapter is the second all new, all original chapter of the revised version of Before I die. "..." Oh yeah.
This story is not doing nearly as well this time around as it was last time. I'm not really sure about the reason for that, because personally I think that I like it better this time. But maybe it's just because of the title being the same. For that reason I am going to ask all reviewers for suggestions for a new title name.
Please let me know what you think. REVIEW!

Chapter Six ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kagome felt the familiar tingle of the well's magic as she jumped through. A few tears flew through the air, destined to remain in the Sengoku Jidai, as the miko fell through the very layers of time itself. Blue light surrounded her, and for a moment it made her feel warm and safe.
But the moment was up as she landed on her knees in the dirt at the bottom of the well located just out of the Higurashi Shrine. For a moment she just stayed there, kneeling in the soil, clutching the wooden beads that had once subdued Inuyasha to her chest.
She was home now.
Without the Shikon shards.
500 years away from Inuyasha.
Kagome sunk to the ground, curled up into a ball, and cried. Her sobs racked her shoulders almost painfully, as in a fetal posistion, she allowed her tears to water the dry, parched earth of the well house.
'At least Inuyasha will be happy...'
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
With a picture of Kagome's smiling face in his head, and the Shikon clutched firmly in his hand, Inuyasha closed his eyes...
...and jumped into the well.
Inuyasha felt himself falling, but something was missing. That sensation he always felt when the magic of the well was working. It wasn't there. Did that mean that he wasn't going to be allowed to pass? Unconsciously his grip on the Shikon shard tightened as he continued to fall.
The shards had always let Kagome pass, but he had never used them. He had always had his rosary, his closest connection to Kagome. But now, he had the shards, and Kagome had the necklace. Inuyasha's eyes were growing moist again.
'Where is the magic?' ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
After about a half hour of sobbing nonstop, Kagome ran out of tears. She wiped her face in something akin to disbelief, her dirty hands leaving smudges of mud in their wake. Was her love for Inuyasha really only worth half an hour of crying. Somewhere inside Kagome felt a barely present twinge of disappointment.
Somehow she had always thought that she would weep for days on end, sinking into an unconsolable depression. It would be like in those sappy love stories that she saw on TV. Except in those the man always realized what he had lost and came running back to the woman he loved him more than life itself, miraculously reviving her while she was on her death bed with the power of his love.
Then they would live happily ever after.
Kagome felt more tears coming as her throat knotted. She forced a bitter smile. So there were more tears.
Before she started sobbing again, the young girl picked herself off of the floor and tried to brush herself off as well as she could. She was about to climb out of the well and flee to the sanctuary of her room, to spend the rest of her mourning in a nice clean bed, when she felt something.
'What the...?'
The miko was halfway spun around, trying to see what was causing the feeling, when something landed on her, knocking her to the wellhouse floor once again.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Inuyasha's feet touched the bottom of the well, the cool dirt tickling his toes.
'No...'
He couldn't open his eyes. He knew what he would see.
The magic had never come.
Inuyasha's knees gave out from underneath him, and he fell to the ground. Overwhelming depression beginning to seep through his denial. He would not open his eyes. If he opened his eyes and would only prove what deep inside he already knew.
He didn't want to prove it.
The magic had never come.
Inuyasha opened his eyes.
Above him it was the same blue sky that was there when he closed his eyes. The same vines were still growing up the side of the well.
Kagome was still gone.
He was in Sengoku Jidai.
The anger that he was so accustomed too began to boil his blood. His despair was momentarily forgotten as he began to vent it the best way that he knew how.
Inuyasha's fist flew at the wall, denting it despite the miles of earth that lay on the other side. He jumped to his feet as another and yet another fist hit that wall of the well.
The well that wouldn't let him pass.
The well that kept him from Kagome.
His anger was quickly running low, his strength sapping from him as he slowly began to accept the truth. He was in Sengoku Jidai. Kagome was 500 years into the future. The well would not let him pass.
Kagome was gone.
Inuyasha sunk to the bottom of the well, barely supporting himself on his hands and knees as he began to silently cry.
Two tears fell to the soil.
In the future, Kagome's tears fell as well.
"Kagome..."Inuyasha whispered, "I love you Kagome...Please..."
Inuyasha was so lost in his sadness that he failed to notice the sensation of the well's magic that he had, only a moment ago, craved to feel more than anything.
He clenched his eyes shut as two more tears fell.
"Please...come back to me."
The blue lights of time itself engulfed the hanyou, and suddenly he was falling. Falling through time and space.
Falling to Kagome.
