Hey guys! Sorry for the lateness of this chappie. I had exams this week. Aghh. But now that they're over I can't write more. Yay! But anyway I am so caught up in this story that I'm having trouble writing my other one. Ahhhh. But, good or bad, it's almost over. I started this chapter intending it to be the last, but…well you'll just have top read. Hehe.

oOo

Guess what!!! I just got the 1st and 2nd Inuyasha movies! My mom bought them for me and they came last weekend. I was so happy. They are both great movies but I liked the 2nd one much more. I've watched it like 3 times!! I wanted so bad to write about part of it, put something in my story. (and I sorta did but I'm not telling what) I don't want to ruin it for anyone who hasn't seen them. And for those who have they'll know what I used.

Any way, I love you guys and your wonderful reviews!! I really do.

Enjoy! ^-^

***

A tear slid slowly from one of her blue-gray eyes, across her nose and soaked into the already tear drenched pillow. The clear night's sky allowed the moon to cast it's radiant glow through her window and onto her soft skin. She stared blankly at the bright moon and few stares that dotted the sky, to caught up in her own misery to notice it's simple beauty. A warm breeze blew through her open window ruffling her curtains and signifying a seemingly perfect summers night.

But as perfect as the world seemed to be on this picturesque night it wasn't to her. She didn't even notice it.

She had been 'resting' in her bed since her mother had placed her there, last night. She would lay there and think to herself. And for more than twenty-four hours she had moved only if necessary. All she did was cry, think and sleep, trying her hardest to forget about him.

But it seemed like every second that she had been trying to forget had been focused completely on him. She couldn't get him out of her thoughts.

I'm so pathetic.

She had come to the decision that it was her actions that had scared him away. It was her fault he had run.

If only she would of said something different. If only she hadn't pulled away when he touched her. If only she would of had the courage to look him in the eyes when she spoke.

But she didn't.

And now he was gone and there was nothing she could do.

Her mother had come in and attempted to talk to her many times since she had been found under the tree but she never talked back. Sometimes she didn't even want to hear anyone. And she would be just barely aware if someone would rub her back or stroke her hair.

She was out of touch with everything. She felt dead.

And she was so confused.

I don't understand.

There were many things that she didn't understand. Things that just served to confuse her more and more. Things like why he decided to come back a month later and how he could use the well. And most of all, why she hurt so bad.

Why did not having him in her life make life not worth living?

She had seen her friends go through breakups. Sure they cried a lot and said they felt like their life was over but that had ended after a few days. She would comfort them and watch as they got over the breakup and moved on. She had never seen any of her friends like this. Like she was now.

There was something different.

She tightened the bed sheets around her body and turned over, away for the night's perfect sky, and toward the bare wall. She closed her eyes ready to fall into a restless sleep for the night, but even that was not granted to her.

Over and over again the most recent images of him played in her mind.

His wonderful smile falling from his face. The pained expression that adorned it. His eyes clenched shut and hands in a fist. These images wouldn't stop haunting her.

And then there was another fact.

He jumped down the well.

That single thought plagued her the most. How did he do it? The well had been closed off when she traveled through it for the last time. It should no longer work.

The one object that bound her to him. The sacred jewel of Four Souls. She no longer held it. And in punishment for giving up her duty as the jewels protector she could no longer use the well.

And she had his prayer beads. The object that bound him to her. They were what, she assumed, allowed him to pass into her time. And now that he no longer was bound to her he shouldn't be able to travel through time.

Neither of them should.

She brought her hand up to her neck to grip the prayer beads. She found herself doing this simple action often, subconsciously, when she was sad, lonely or confused. It was the one and only thing she had left of him and she treasured it dearly.

Her whole body froze when her fingertips connected with the soft flesh of her naked neck. Her hand started to search franticly around her neckline searching for the smooth cool feeling of the beads. She sat up quickly and started to feel around the downy sheets that lay on her bed, searching for the familiar feeling of the prayer beads.

Where is it? Where is it!

The necklace was no where to be found.

She stood immediately and flipped the light switch on her wall sending light throughout her room. She tore the sheets off her bed and started to shake them furiously hoping the lost beads would fall out. "Ohh where are they?" She whined as she danced about her room searching for the missing necklace.

"Kagome?"

She turned around sharply toward her doorway, a worried slightly distraught look could be seen on her face as she spun on whoever had spoken her name.

Souta took a step back at the look on his sisters face. He knew that ever since Inuyasha had left her she was constantly upset and never happy. Not like she use to be.

"S-Sis. Why are you up so late?" he questioned as he gathered up his nerve and entered her chaotic room.

There were sheets, books, pillows, papers and clothes strewn about the room giving it the look that a disaster had just struck.

Her face softened at seeing the nervousness in her younger brother's face. "Souta…"

"What happened?" he asked looked up form the disastrous room to her worry stricken face.

"I…I can't find his necklace…"

He looked around the room again, very surprised that a necklace would cause this much of an upset with his sister. He stood quiet and watched as she quickly forgot about him and started searching again.

"Nee-chan…"

Her head shot up at the sound of his voice but she seemed barely aware of his presence. She whispered quietly to her herself, to softly for Souta to even hear.

"The God Tree…"

She jumped up from the floor and dashed out of the room, right past her bewildered brother.

Souta sighed as he listened to her feet pound away from her room and down the hallway. She was going to wake everyone up. He started to walk carefully across the disastrous room, careful not to step on anything that looked valuable.

He gazed out her open window to the moonlit yard. A quiet breeze blew softly across the trees that surrounded the shrine, sending a hush through the night.

I hope Inuyasha will come to get her soon…For every ones sake.

Below the window Souta heard the door slide open and a second later shut. His sister soon came into view as she walked slowly across the grounds. It was strange to see his sister walking so carefully, after the mad dash out of her room he thought she'd be running. But she wasn't. She was walking extremely slowly, like any quick movements would break the magic that wasn't there.

He watched as she reached the God Tree and stood below the branches for a few moments. From her window he could not tell what she was looking at but after a few seconds she dropped to her knees and curled up into a ball on the ground.

"Nee-chan…"

He spoke quietly to himself. Sad for his sister and how broken she seemed to be. He was watching her so intently that, when a hand fell on his shoulder, he didn't even jump.

"Souta, why don't we leave Kagome alone for tonight. It's warm outside."

He glanced up to see his mother dressed in a robe wrapped tightly around her body. She was staring sadly at her daughter that lay across the yard. He turned her eyes back to her crumpled form.

"I'm worried about her mom."

"Me too."

~~

A large flock of angry black birds tore out of the leaves, screaming at having been disturbed this late in the night. The branches shook once more before a large crack echoed throughout the woods and the giant oak crashed to the damp earthy ground. As the leaves and dirt settled and the woods quieted again a large form could be spotted panting heavily at the trees severed stump.

Claws drawn and teeth bared the form swore loudly before standing up straight again and brushing his silvery sweat soaked bangs away from his forehead. Angry amber eyes shot around at anything that dare move, despite the fact that nothing did. Trees lay fallen sparsely across the thick woods, the night life long since vanished.

He was so mad right now, he didn't know what to do with himself.

He had miscalculated. Misunderstood an action of hers. Thought it was something else. By the way she had acted she had moved on with her life.

Now what was he going to do.

The jewel was gone. Naraku and his subordinates dead. Tetsusaiga mastered. Sesshomaru off to the west with his tail between his legs. Kikyo was put to rest.

And now Kagome was gone for sure.

It was his greatest fear.

He was alone again.

In the back of his head a tiny voice reminded him there was still the others. Sango, Miroku, Shippo, and Keade, they were still around. They were his friends. Right?

Or wrong?

He had a sickening feeling that they blamed him for Kagome's absence. That they thought he should of stopped her from leaving.

And he should of.

And he couldn't go see them now. Not now, now that he can't bring Kagome with him.

He took off in a blur of red and silver, letting his feet guide him away from his depressed and angry thoughts. He ran for only seconds though, before he stopped again. In front of him stood the largest tree in the woods, the God Tree.

Dappled moonlight fell on his face as he gazed up at the tree.

He could feel her.

As he stood under the tree in the shadow of its large form he could feel her. Her presence, her smell, everything about her. And he knew.

Some place, some where.

Some time.

She was standing there too.

"Take it all…away."
