Note: Hi all. Hope you enjoyed Ch 2. ^_^ I enjoyed writing it. If you haven't noticed yet, the apostrophes ( ' ) notify that someone is thinking. And the star ( * ) notifies a change of scene. I think that's all you need to know for now. ^_^ This is going to be that last chapter for a while. I need to think more. In this chapter is a poem that I didn't write. Shawna, one of my friends in the yahoo group Youkai_Heritage wrote it. ^_^ I really hope you like it. Disclaimer: I don't own any of the Inu Yasha characters. They belong to Rumiko Takahashi. Enjoy and review. Please and thank you.

"I'm ho-ome" Kagome called out when she walked into her house.

"Ah, Kagome. And how long are we going to be blessed with your presence this time?" her grandfather asked as he walked out of the kitchen.

"Why does it matter? This is my home. I'll stay as long as I want. Besides I have school to go to." Kagome said angrily. "Its not like I belong in the feudal era." She went into her room. As she collapsed on her bed she fell into a deep sleep.

*******************************

"Inu Yasha! Stop moping around and go visit Kagome. I can tell you want to" Shippo yelled at Inu Yasha.

"Its not like she's gone forever." Inu Yasha said nothing. He looked at Shippo then left Kaede's house

"I don't think that he's accepted the fact that Kagome isn't dead. He saw her die but didn't see Sesshoumaru bring her back. Its hard to believe things like that unless you see it." Miroku stated at seeing Shippo's confused and slightly hurt expression.

*******************************

Inu Yasha sat on a hill looking at the well.

'Kagome will never come through there again and its all my fault,' he thought. He had seen Kagome's blood on the Tetsuaiga when Miroku found him and handed it back.

*******************************

Kagome stretched her arms out.

"Mmmmm. A good night's sleep is just what I needed." She looked at her clock and started to pack her bag to go back to the feudal era. She hummed a light tune as she moved around the house to get all she needed.

*******************************

It was raining. Inu Yasha was still on the hill, but he was asleep. Kagome climbed out of the well.

"It's a good thing I remembered an umbrella" she muttered to herself. Then she saw Inu Yasha. She climbed the hill and shoved her umbrella into the ground so that it covered him. When she was a few yards away Inu Yasha woke. He turned and saw Kagome walking towards the village. Kagome turned for another glance at the sleeping youkai and saw him awake and standing, looking at her.

"Inu Yasha"

'Kagome. It can't be. How can you be.' he though as he slowly walked towards her.

"Inu Yasha" Kagome called out again. She ran to him and hugged him.

"Kagome" Inu Yasha said quietly as he held her in his arms. Silence filled the air as the two of them held each other. Then Kagome broke the silence.

"We may have two hearts But we share one mind. And our fates Will be intertwined." she said quietly.

"But what about my past love? I don't know who to choose. You both look so much the same But neither one am I willing to loose." Inu Yasha continued.

"Don't worry about My fickle heart. Go with her. After all You two were ripped apart."

"I tried to forget her. I tried so hard. And I wanted to feel for you But my heart was barred."

"I love you like she does. We both want to be with you And it's so horrible That you should have to choose."

"I never wanted you to really leave. Though, I was close to saying good bye. And nor could I ever wish for you To break down and cry."

"I was also close to leaving forever But I had so much I wanted to tell. However I couldn't face you Nor take the trip down the well."

"It wouldn't help but I can say I understand. For my heartaches too When you hold my hand."

"Just remember that no matter Who gets you in the end, I will never leave you. We'll always be at least friends." Kagome finished. As they stood there embracing each other the rain stopped and the sun came out. They let go and walked to Kaede's village together, hand in hand.

"I wonder when Kagome or Inu Yasha are going to come back" said Shippo. He was sitting on the fence watching Kaede work in the garden. Kaede looked up and the kitsune and saw Inu Yasha and Kagome behind him.

"Right now," she answered. Shippo gave her a confused look then turned around.

"Kagome! Inu Yasha!" he called out joyfully as he ran out to them. They quickly let go of each other's hand.

"Shippo!" Kagome said as she picked up and hugged him.

"Its good to see you again." Just then Miroku and Sango came out to the garden. they both seemed to be out of breath and Sango was straitening her kimono.

"Its good to see that you have returned," Miroku said.

"Are you feeling better?"

"Mhm," Kagome nodded and smiled.

Author's Note: Hey! That was a great chapter wasn't it?

Inu Yasha: What's going on with Miroku and Sango?

Hei: You'll have to wait and see. *grins*

Kagome: I wonder where Sesshoumaru and Rin went.

Inu Yasha: Who cares?

Hei: OH!!! I just got an idea for an upcoming chapter. Time to go write. ^_^ In the next chapter the real adventure begin. Please review!
