10. A Crucial Decision (Ending 2)
Kagome opened her eyes and the first thing she saw was Inuyasha's feet. He was sitting next to her with his legs in a crossed position. Kagome slowly sat up. She took and deep breath and exhaled it.
Inuyasha asked, "All right Kagome, something's wrong. You're hiding something and Sango won't tell me what it is. Tell me." Kagome took another deep breath. She closed her eyes and remembered the dream she had.
The dream had been about her family. Her family had smiled at her and hugged her, asking a bunch of questions she wasn't able to answer orally. Sota had said, "What's wrong Kagome? Cat got you're tongue?" Kagome had stuck out her tongue, then hugged her family again, and that's where the dream ended.
Kagome swallowed, trying to get ready for what the dream had told her. Kagome said with a scratchy, unused voice, "Inuyasha." Inuyasha blinked in surprise. Kagome cleared her throat and said, "Inuyasha there's something I have to tell you. It's really important so don't interrupt." Inuyasha nodded. Kagome said, "I've been keeping something from you for awhile now. I was scared to tell you, I didn't know how you'd react. After talking with Sango I realize I have to tell you regardless of the consequences." Kagome closed her eyes and swallowed again.
Now everyone else was awake and sitting up as well, listening tentatively to Kagome. Kagome couldn't open her eyes, she was too scared. She started shaking, taking shuddering breaths but not crying. Sango stood up, walked over to Kagome, and knelt next to her. Sango said comfortingly, while putting a hand on Kagome's back, "It's ok Kagome. You have to do this. Whatever happens you'll be ok, I'll make sure of it." Kagome opened her eyes and smiled at Sango, then nodded.
Kagome brought her eyes to meet Inuyasha's. She said with a trembling voice, "It all started a few weeks ago. I had been having the same horrible nightmare for days on end. The day I left to go home and take a math test at school was when it happened. I got home from school and...." Kagome proceeded to tell Inuyasha everything that happened that day. Inuyasha could only stare at Kagome with wide eyes and mouth hanging open.
Kagome continued with the story, "About two weeks ago I went to the hospital to visit my family." Kagome was now crying, but continued, "I went into the room and they weren't there. A nurse came in and said that there were complications with their wounds. They had died. I fainted and when I regained conciousness I couldn't speak, I was mute. Whenever I went home recently I would always go to their graves, offering flowers and prayers for their souls. I want to let you know Inuyasha that I don't blame you, not at all. That wasn't you who attacked them." Inuyasha said, "Are you blind? It was me that attacked and killed your family. It was me that caused you so much pain. I only know one way to deal with this." Inuyasha grabbed Kagome in his arms, Kagome still holding onto her backpack, stood up, and ran as fast as he could to the well.
Sango yelled, "Inuyasha!", then climbed onto the transformed Kilala, along with Miroku and Shippo. They ran after the two as fast as Kilala could carry them.
Inuyasha was now at the well. Kagome was struggling in his arms, tears streaming down her cheeks, screaming, "Inuyasha, no! NO!" Inuyasha said quietly, "I'm sorry Kagome."
Sango and the others were just in time to see Inuyasha throw Kagome down the well. Sango screamed, "NO!" Miroku and Shippo could only stare with wide eyes.
Inuyasha looked down at his hand. In his hand he held the jewel shards that Kagome had had. Now Kagome had no jewel shards, no way of getting back to this time. Inuyasha turned around and was met with a very angry Sango. Sango screamed at him, "I promised her everything was going to be ok. I told her she'd stay here. How could you do that?! Do you not know how much pain she is in?" Inuyasha replied angrily, "Pain that I caused!" Sango didn't know how to reply. Inuyasha ran off before any of them could stop him.
Kagome looked up from where she lay on the bottom of the well. Inuyasha's words rang through her head, "I'm sorry Kagome." Tears streamed down Kagome's face. Inuyasha had stolen her jewel shards, now she had no way to go back to the Sengoku Jidai. Kagome curled up, and cried some more until she had fallen asleep.
Inuyasha sat in one of the higher branches of the Goshinboku. ' How could I have done such a thing? How could I have done that to Kagome? At least she's safe from me in her own time.'
Kagome opened her eyes and found herself at the bottom of the well. All the events from earlier rushed into her head. Kagome got up and climbed the ladder out of the well.
When she left the wellhouse she went to her family's graves. She knelt and prayed until the sun set. Then she went inside. She went to her room and layed on her bed, staring at the ceiling and wondering, ' How could Inuyasha have done this to me? It just proves he doesn't care about me. Sango said everything was going ok. She's such a liar, I hate her! I hate them all! They abandoned me! Everyone's abandoned me!' Kagome flopped over and buried her face in her pillow, too tired to even cry.
The sun was just rising in the sky in the Sengoku Jidai. Inuyasha watched it from his perch. As the sun rose he remembered what Kagome had said that he hadn't payed attention to before, "...I don't blame you, not at all." As she had fallen through the well he had heard Kagome say softly, "I love you. Goodbye."
It came to Inuyasha that what he had done, throwing her into the well was one of the worst things he had ever done. Sango was right, Kagome was probably in more pain than him. She had no one now that he had thrown her down the well. He would go and bring her back, apologize for everything, tell her how he loved her too. Inuyasha stood and jumped from the tree, then ran to the well.
Sango watched Inuyasha leave his branch of the Goshinboku and run off. ' He's heading to the well. Finally the blockhead realized it.' Sango looked over and saw Miroku watching as well. They both smiled at each other.
Kagome sat in front of the shrine, adjacent to the wellhouse. She took a deep breath and closed her eyes. She slowly pulled the knife out its sheath and held it poised at her heart.
Inuyasha had just jumped out of the well and had opened the wellhouse door to a horrible sight. Kagome with a knife poised to stab her heart. Inuyasha ran as fast as he could and knocked the knife out of her hand.
Just as Kagome was about to plunge the knife into her heart a hand knocked the knife out of her grip. She opened her eyes and saw Inuyasha standing in front of her. Before she could even take her next breath she wrapped tightly in Inuyasha's arms. He was squeezing her against his body. He pulled away from her and asked angrily, "What the hell were you thinking?!" Before she could even answer Inuyasha had squeezed Kagome's body against his. After quite awhile Inuyasha pulled away and said, "Kagome, how could you even think of doing this? You are not alone no matter what you think. Kagome, I love you." Then Inuyasha brought his lips to Kagome's. Kagome wrapped her arms around Inuyasha and kissed back, tears streaming down her face. Tears of relief, joy, and love.
