Why I Didn't Come

(A sequel to Human for Her)

Focused mainly on Kagome's viewpoint and Sesshoumaru's thoughts wrapping everything up at the end.

Disclaimer: I own nothing.

"Inuyasha, what college should I go to?" I asked. It was some time after the Naraku had been defeated and the Shikon no Tama had been wished upon.

"Just don't go already! Why can't you just stay here with me?" Inuyasha yelled frustrated. "You've been going to school ever since we met! You must be smart enough already!"

"But I'm not! I need to do this so I can get a good job!" I protested.

"Why do you need a job? I'll do everything to support you and make you happy!" Inuyasha yelled.

"That's not it! What happens when my family is too old to work and they have to retire? Who's going to take care of them then? They need money, Inuyasha! And you can't make any, seeing how you're stuck in this time!" I yelled, on the verge of tears.

Inuyasha was at a lost for words.

"Feh. Just go to whatever you want." He looked at the two different schools. One was an all girl school and the other was co-ed. He pointed to the co-ed one.

"Just go to this one. It looks nice." He said softly and kindly.

"Thanks Inuyasha!" I cried and kissed him softly on the cheek before jumping back in the well.

"I'll be back in a couple of days, three at the most! I love you!" I yelled to him before falling back through my time. My savior nodded, his black hair swaying with the motion.

It was about two months later when it happened. I had been going to college for about a month and a half and noticed that the guys there are always looking my way. I had homeroom cleaning today after classes and that's where I was headed. I had it with one of my classmate, a boy named Odo, Hie.

I heard the door to the classroom close. I turned and saw Hie looking at me.

"Kagome...I..." His face flushed. "I really...like you...will you please go out with me?" He asked, dropping his head. Truth be told, I had kept my eyes on this boy recently. But not because I liked him, but because I was afraid of him.

"Why did you close the door?" I asked. My voice was wavering. He turned and looked at the door.

"I closed it because I didn't want anyone to hear." He paused for a while before he continues quickly with a short, "...me. I didn't want anyone to know I liked you." He quickly covered up his statement.

"Well?" He asked.

"I'm sorry, Odo, but I'm already seeing someone." I thought of how brave and loving Inuyasha was in his new form. But I had to admit; I missed his rough side to him. Sometimes I reach up to rub his ears and remember that they'll never be there again.

He started walking towards me.

"Stop." I said, backing away. He didn't. He grabbed my arms and leaned forward to kiss me.

"STOP!" I cried, kicking him in the balls. It was the only chance I had of escape. I ran towards the door but he tackled me. I screamed as loud as he could before he got his hand over my mouth. He was panting.

Inuyasha! Inuyasha! Inuyasha! Help me!

I started crying. I tried to beat him off with my arms but he was too strong. He leaned forward and quickly removed his hand only to replace it with his lips. He had his knees on my elbows and his hands on top my chest. Suddenly, the doorknob to the classroom turned.

My homeroom teacher had finally come back! But the door was locked. Odo got off me and grabbed a broom, pushing one into my hands.

"If you say anything, you know what I'll do." Mrs. Toki unlocked the door and came in. As soon as she did that, I ran right through the door.

"Kagome?" She asked, seeing her student's tears. "Odo, what happened?"

"She...asked me to go out with her...and I said no..." Hie said, making up the fastest lie he could that would explain her tears.

"But...Kagome's such a strong woman...why would this bother her?" Mrs. Toki asked, not expecting a reply.

"Oh, you're excused, Odo." She added, seeing the broom. After he was gone, she noticed a navy blue piece of material caught on the edge of one of the desk.

"What's this?" She reached forward and pulled it off, knowing it was one of the girl's uniform skirts. Two dark spots were on it. She wiped it on the white desk, scared of what it might be. Red showed up on the desk.

"Blood?" She cried. She looked more carefully at the desk and the surrounding floor and noted that there were several drops of blood and then it smeared on the ground, like the owner had fallen.

"Odo, what have you done?" She asked before quickly exiting the room, running as fast as she could to the Principle's office. It didn't matter. I would never she Odo again anyways.

I had been running as fast as I could. I stopped over looking the well.

I want him to hold me like he used to. We've had so many fights-I feel so far away from him, even if I am sitting right next to him...

I jumped into the well, knowing Inuyasha would come any moment, as I found I was bleeding. He did, but not because of the bloods smell. I pulled myself out of it.

"Ka-Kagome?" He asked. I looked up at him.

"Why? Why did you let another boy hold you and kiss you?" I started crying.

"You don't understand-" I started to say.

"Kagome! I can feel us separating! Why? Do you not wish to see me anymore?"

Why is he like this? I want him to comfort me! Why can't he sense that it was against my will?

"Inuyasha, why did you become a human? I hate it! I wish it never happened!" I screamed in anguish and fear.

"Human? I became human for you! Because I love you! Don't you love me anymore?" He asked. His eyes were full of anger. They looked like Odo's and I was instantly afraid.

"No." I whispered.

"What?" He asked startled.

"No, Inuyasha. I don't believe I do..." My voice trailed away. Was this it?

"Kagome-" He said, reaching out to me. But I stepped away from him.

"Good by." I said and jumped back into the well.

"KAGOME!" I appeared back in my time. I looked at the roof of the well house. I pulled myself out of the well and ran down the shrine's steps.

"How could he be so uncaring? Can't he see my feeling for him?" I cried. Tears blurred my vision.

"STOP!" I heard somebody yell.

"LOOK OUT!" I heard another. I looked up and heard a car horn honking. I had run out onto the street.

"KAGOME!" I turned and saw Souta running towards me screaming, somebody grabbed him before he too ran out onto the street. I heard a scream of brakes and then a thud. The last thing I saw was the driver's face of horror. Then everything went black.

"KAGOME!" Souta screamed, freeing himself from the onlooker's grasp, running to his sister.

"KAGOME! WAKE UP, PLEASE, SIS!" Souta screamed, shaking his dead sister's body. An ambulance arrived on scene, but did not leave in the frenzy as which it had come. There was no need to- the girl was already dead.

The onlooker watched as the girl's body was covered with the white sheet, her younger brother's body shaking and screaming in pain and anguish.

"So. This is why she didn't come back to you, Inuyasha." The onlooker said softly. He bowed his head before turning and walking away. Sesshoumaru soon got into his parked car and drove away, the traffic already backing up. He pulled into his driveway, parked, got out, and entered his home.

He smiled sadly before a soft loving voice hit his ears.

"Sesshoumaru! Honey, did you see what happened?" Called a voice. He looked up to see his wife's kind and saddened eyes.

"Did you here of Kagome's-?" Sesshoumaru nodded.

"I was the one who held her brother from joining her fate."

"So, back in our time, Inuyasha is waiting for her return, thinking she chose another over him?" Kagura asked. Sesshoumaru nodded. Kagura bowed her head and tears trickled down her face.

"Why is this world so cruel? Why did things turn out so unhappy?" Sesshoumaru drew his wife into a hug, comforting her in a way he knew Kagome would've wanted from Inuyasha.

"The world is always unfair to those who try to live fairly in it, Kagura." Sesshoumaru said.

Brother, now you begin your years of anguish, waiting for her, not knowing she is already dead. Thinking she is with another. But it was you who chose this fate for her.

*Flash back*

"Feh. Just go to whatever you want." He looked at the two different schools. One was an all girl school and the other was co-ed. He pointed to the co-ed one.

"Just go to this one. It looks nice." He said softly and kindly.

*End Flash Back*

The all girl school would've been better for you. Yet you chose co-ed, knowing that there would be boys there. Why?

Sesshoumaru lifted his sleeping wife and carried her to bead. He then went out onto the porch over looking the Hirigashi Shrine and his brother's grave.

*Flash back*

He left his brother's grave for a place he knew Inuyasha would've wanted him to go. He was going to a dense and murky forest.

Upon getting there, he saw her figure, trapped with in a rock by Naraku.

He drew tenseiga and slashed through all the curses and evil, which Naraku had placed upon Kagura. With everything cut, Kagura's body crumples to the ground. Her eyes slowly opened and she looked up.

"Sess...houmaru." She said before standing. After a few moment of silence, he reached forward and grabbed her into an awkward hug. Her eyes glistened with tears as she grasped him back.

"Thank you..." After a few more moments, she said what she had been meaning to say ever since she got to know him.

"I love you." Sesshoumaru was speechless. He had had a feeling about her likings, but never did expect them to be so strong. He had saved her now, twice. Once when she had a hole through her chest from Goryoumaru, and just now.

(A/N: Goryoumaru comes into the story later. I did not make him up; he is part of Rumiko Takahashi's plan. His first appearance is in Volume 135? Or 35...I forget.)

*End Flash Back*

So now you begin your journey with each other. How will you cope?

"Inuyasha, I'm dying inside. Knowing what words I parted you with. So you know now why, right? You know why I didn't come."

The End. I partially didn't like this, but everyone was asking me to put up another short one explaining everything. So here it is...
