Almost five year ago.
"It has been six months, since we defeated Naraku. The hole on Miroku's hand had gone. We didn't come out uninjured, but each of us had fully recovered. Since the most reckless one in our group is Inuyasha, he was the one who got severely hurt. Even though, he was a hanyou and could recovered much faster than us, humans. It still took him quite a long time to fully recover. Kikyou came to help us fight Naraku too, and she also got injured. However, she left before we noticed and no one seemed to be able to find her ever since," Kagome thought as she climbed out of the bone eater well and walking toward the village.
"I can't wait to see Inuyasha. I have something I want to tell him, but I wonder how will he react," Kagome thought with a smile.
"Kagome, you're back," Shippo yelled and jumped up into the air to hug her. "I miss you."
"It has only been 3 days, Shippo-chan," Kagome said and hugged him back.
"Kagome," Sango said and was carried a basket full of fruits and vegetables.
"Sango, had you seen Inuyasha?" Kagome asked.
"No, I haven't seen him all day. But he might be at the Goshinoboku," Sango replied.
"Thank you," Kagome replied and putted Shippo down on the ground. "I will see you guys later."
Kagome ran back to the forest to find Inuyasha.
"How come he didn't come for me when I came out of the bone eater well, if he was near by," she thought silently. "There he is."
She saw Inuyasha sitting on one of the branches of the Goshinoboku. She walked up to the tree, and he still didn't notice her there. Kagome said his name loudly for a few times, but he still was not responding.
"Sit," Kagome said loudly
He fell off the tree and crashed on the ground.
"Kagome?" Inuyasha said and was finally out of his daze. "Why did you do that for? When have you got back?"
"I called out a few times for you, but you never responded to me. I have gotten back here for almost an hour," she answered. "Is something on your mind?"
"Yes," he replied quietly. "Kikyou came to talk to me yesterday night and told me to meet her later on tonight."
"Do you know what does she want to talk to you about?" she questioned worriedly.
"I don't really know," he lied.
"Oh," she replied. Kagome thought, "Why is he lying to me?"
"Kagome, why don't you go back home tonight, and I will come pick you up tomorrow?" he suggested.
"Okay," she agreed.
"It is unlike her to agree to something like this so quickly. Something seems wrong, or maybe I just think too much," he thought and left, after seeing her jumped back into the well.
Kagome climbed out of the well after going back to her home for a few hours.
"Good, Inuyasha is not around here," she thought and hide behind a bush near the Goshinoboku.
As she watched the sun set, still no one come near the Goshinoboku.
"I wonder are they not coming here to meet," she thought. Then, she sensed someone is behind her. She quickly turned around to see who is it.
"Ki…," Kagome lost consciousness before she was able to finished saying that person's name.
By the time when she came out of her unconsciousness, she saw Inuyasha and Kikyou were in a conversation and then saw him went limped. The ground started to shake around them, and suck them in little by little.
Kagome tried to move and called out to Inuyasha, but her body seemed to have been temporarily paralyzed, and no sound was coming out from her mouth or throat. As she watched the earth swallow them bit by bit, tears filled her eyes. Then, she heard a voice that sound quite familiar, kind of like Kikyou's voice, except this one is softer and sound more peaceful.
"I will help you, and lend you my strength and power. Reach for the bow and arrow beside you, and stand up. Shoot the arrow in your hand and free Inuyasha from me, who was being manipulated by the darkness in my heart."
Kagome reached for the bow and arrow beside her, and stood up. She shot the arrow toward where Kikyou is. Kikyou was too preoccupy by the thought of taking Inuyasha with her to hell, and didn't notice the arrow that is coming toward her. The arrow pierced her heart. The ground stopped sucking them in, Inuyasha was immediately released from her grip and fell on the ground. Kikyou also fell on the ground and then turned into a pile of soil.
Kagome blinked her eye for a few time, and what had just happened played in her mind. She turned her eye toward the pile of soil near the unconscious Inuyasha.
"What have I done?" Kagome said in distress.
While Kagome is feeling guilty of what she had done, Inuyasha had finally come out of his unconsciousness. He sat up and used his hand to rub the bump on his head.
"Where am I?" he thought confusingly. Then, he noticed someone is there in front of him. "Kagome?" he said.
Kagome turned her head toward where he was, and saw a pair of amber eyes looking straight at her. Then she turned her head away from his stare quickly.
"Kagome, what happen? Is something wrong? Why are you avoiding to look at me?" Inuyasha questioned.
"Sorry, Inuyasha!" she said quietly.
"What are you apologizing for?" he asked loudly.
"I… I… killed her," she said softly and in between of her sobbing.
"Who's her?" Inuyasha questioned and then noticed there is a pile of soil near him. "Kikyou?"
After hearing him say her name and noticing that pile of soil, Kagome cried loudly, and ran away from him toward the bone eater well.
"Kagome, wait," Inuyasha shouted and tried to move, but can't. By the time, when he was able to move, he quickly followed the faith scent of Kagome and noticed it led him to the bone eater well. He saw Kagome was about to jump into the well back to her time.
"Stop, Inuyasha, or I will jump into the well now," Kagome told him.
He stopped approaching her and just stood there staring at her.
"I want to tell you something before I leave," she said softly.
"What?" Inuyasha said loudly and angry. "You are not leaving here."
"Why should I stay Inuyasha? The Shikon No Tama is completed," she replied and moved backward a bit toward the well.
"Because I don't want you to leave," he said.
"I don't belong here, Inuyasha. Maybe, we shouldn't be together in the first place. I just did something I can't even forgive myself, and probably you won't either," Kagome said and jumped into the well. "Bye, Inuyasha."
"Kagome, wait," Inuyasha loudly and quickly moved forward toward the well. But he wasn't fast enough to reach for her on time.
He tried jumping into the well but when he jumps, he was still in his time. After jumping into there for a million times, it still hasn't worked for him. Inuyasha tried doing that for a very long time. It probably had been weeks or months before he finally come up with the conclusion that probably Kagome had destroyed or put a seal on the well from the other side. No one seemed to be able to find him after that, not even Miroku, Sango, Shippo, Kaede, or Myoga-jiji.
Back to the present time.
"So that's what happen," Inuyasha said.
"Sorry," Kagome said softly.
"Let's forget about it, because it is the past. What important is now," he told her.
"I'm really sorry. I left because I thought you would hate me, and I don't want to hear you say that to me, or…," she said worriedly, and were interrupted when Inuyasha kissed her gently on her lips.
"You talk too much," he said with a grin.
"I talk too much?" she said angry, turned her back toward Inuyasha and crossed her arms in front of her.
"Kagome?" he said playfully, and turned his head to look at her face. But Kagome kept on turned her head the other way, so he wasn't able to see her expression.
Inuyasha got out of the bed, and stood in front of Kagome. He crouched down to see if Kagome's mad at him. But what he saw on her face was a playful smile.
"Sit," she said playfully.
Inuyasha immediately crashed down on the floor, and then she sat on his back with his face against the floor.
"It's good to know that it still works," she said and started giggling.
"You will regret you did that," he stated with a playful smile on his face.
"Why? I could say that again," she said and continued her giggling. "Let me try it again."
Before she could say the subduing spell, Inuyasha had escaped from underneath her and both of them had moved on the bed with him on top of her. His left hand held both of her hands above her head.
"I like the bed much better than the floor. Now for my revenge," he said mischievously. He started to tickle Kagome, she started laughing nonstop and tears filled her eyes while she is laughing so hard.
"Stop, Inuyasha," she said in between laughing.
"Why should I stop? This is so much fun," he replied with a teasingly grin.
"Please," she said sweetly.
"Okay," he said. "But I only stop if you give me something in return."
"What do you need?" she questioned confusingly.
"I don't know," he replied. "Maybe a kiss."
"Okay. But close your eyes first," she said with a smile.
Inuyasha closed his eyes, and Kagome moved her face close to his. She put her lips against his, and then quickly moved away.
"That is not a kiss," he stated dissatisfiedly.
"Then what is a kiss?" she asked teasingly.
"This is what a kiss should be like," he simply stated, and moved his face close to Kagome with his lips gently caressing her lips. Inuyasha let go of his hold on Kagome's hands and wrapped them around his neck. His left hand held her nape for a better angle to kiss her mouth, while his right hand circled her waist. They started to kiss each other passionately. Kagome used her left hands to comb his long silvery hand like a brush, and moved her right hand to the top of his head to play with his doggy white ears.
While they are away from reality and into their perfect world, someone is knocking outside the door. They didn't hear it, and then that person let himself into the room. He coughed a few times to get their attention, but didn't work. Then, he tapped on Inuyasha's shoulder, Inuyasha break the connection with Kagome's lips and turned quickly toward the person who interrupted them.
"What do you want, brat?" Inuyasha questioned with his eyes looking a bit daze.
"Good morning, Mama!" Yaku said while his mama blushed furiously. "Morning, old man. As much as I love to have another sibling, I would like to eat breakfast first. So can you two stop what you were doing earlier and come downstairs for breakfast?" Yaku finished with a small smile.
