For You

-Chapter 1: Discovery-

"What ya mean, you have to go right now?" The silver haired half-demon Inuyasha asked. His arms were crossed over his red kimono, and he had a scowl on his face. Golden eyes kept steady on Kagome, "Didn't you just had an…exam…already?"

Kagome sighed, her hands gripping her bike tightly, "Yes, but its midterm. A lot of exams are held right now. Please, Inuyasha. I have to study a bit, at least. Only a few more, than I'm done my tests for now."

Inuyasha seemed to think about this, but he knew he really couldn't make her stay; it would only conclude with pain to his face. He adverted his eyes to Shippo and muttered annoyingly, "Feh. Not that I really care."

"Are you going to come back soon, Kagome?" Shippo whimpered at Kagome, at her feet. He always hated it when she left, something bad could happen when she wasn't there. Or something happen to her, "Are you?"

Sango glanced over to Miroku, than back to Kagome. She too wanted her to come back sooner; she didn't exactly want to be left with Miroku and Inuyasha alone. The two could drive her nuts, but she'd survive.

"Yes, soon I'm coming back," With that then, she turned to face the Bone-Eater's well, and dropped in. Like always, the blue light welcomed her back to her own time. She looked up, and saw the familiar roof over her.

Climbing out of the well, she sighed. She hated midterm season, it took her away from the Feudal Era for so long. But soon it would be over soon, but she was worried; she hadn't really studied much this term. She hoped she would pass at least.

Once she was back in her own room, she looked around. It still seemed so weird, though she knew it was true- that she went back in time to Warring States era. Shrugging her shoulders, she picked up her bag, and put it on her bed. She was going to study for the exam the next day.

Taking out her books, she let her chemistry textbook fall open. It was never her worst subject, but she's been neglecting it for so long. She sighed heavily, and lay down on her stomach, how was she going to get past this?

She studied for a healthy time, and than just lay on her bed, and closed her eyes. So tired… I guess I should do okay for now… Quickly, she fell into deep sleep. But at the pit of her stomach, she felt something was terribly wrong. She just didn't know what.

Opening her eyes, she felt bright sunlight on her. It was evening when she came, and now there was sun?… Morning! She'd been asleep for that long? She scrambled out of bed, and quickly got ready. Looking at the clock, she saw she was going to be late.

She finally got into her class, and just in time was it. Her teacher explained a couple things, but her mind was off. She was worried of the strange feeling she had, like something had happened. She sighed, and convinced herself that they could take care of themselves.

Her first class wasn't Chem., but she couldn't keep her mind on the work. Her friends looked at her worriedly, and attempted to talk to her, but she didn't answer. Eventually, for that day, they started leaving her alone to herself.

Finally getting to her Chem. class, the teacher handed out the tests quickly and left them to work on the exams. Looking over the questions first, she groaned. She couldn't remember anything at the moment, she hated when that happened to her.

Glancing up at the clock, she watched it for a couple minutes, watching it tick away… Tick, tock, tick, tock… Catching herself, she shook her head to let herself free, than looked back down at her paper. She needed to get this done, she already missed enough classes.

After finishing her test, the bell ran loudly. She jumped out of her seat, startled. The students around her gawked at her, puzzled why she was caught off guard by a bell that rang every school day. Giving them a nervous smile, she tore out of the classroom, and straight to a boy.

Hojo.

He looked down at her worriedly, as she backed from him, hoping maybe to run before he started talking to her, "Kagome! I'm sorry! Are you okay? What about your back? Should I go get some ice from the nurse?"

"Um… No…"

"You sure? You seem very tense…" He lifted an eyebrow, to show his disbelief. Thinking, he than came up with a solution to rid her of her stress, "What about I take you to a movie? It'll be very relaxing, nothing hard, no action movies or anything."

"No, sorry, Hojo. I have something to do after school…"

Before he could answer again, she had disappeared from his sight. He sighed and shrugged his shoulders, Kagome really worried him sometimes. She needed to let others know if she was having a problem… But her back must also really hold her back too, he thought to himself.

School continued to drag on, what seemed forever.

When her classes were finally over, she was running out of school. Once she got home, she got her things quickly together, and shot back to the front door so she could get to the dry Bone-Eaters well.

"Kagome? Why are you in such a hurry?" Souta asked, watching her run. But he never heard an answer, for she had already gone out of the house. Scratching his head, he decided he never would end up understanding Kagome; she's just too… unstable.

Breathing hard as she ran, she didn't even really know why she felt so worried. A back feeling? Just missing the others? She didn't really know, but she knew for sure one single thing- she had to get back to the Feudal Era. Despite her doubts, something could have happened, and she wasn't going to sit there and do nothing.

Looking down at the darkness, she recalled when Mistress Centipede had brought her down. She shuddered ever so slightly, than she jumped down to the dry well, and the blue light let her travel through the timelines, and she appeared at the Feudal era's well.

Looking up, it didn't look much different. Sunny, few clouds. There were no loud sounds indicating battle, than it must have really been her imagination starting to spook her. But her fingers were shaking, and she climbed swiftly out of the well.

No one is near, they must be in Kaede's village, she thought quickly to herself, since she saw nobody close to the well, but there wasn't any blood either. This allowed her to relax a bit more, but still had her doubts.

Getting her bike that was near; she hopped onto it, and pedaled towards the town. Entering it, again, she saw no signs of struggle. But this was beginning to worry her, that feeling was real, she concluded to herself, that it wasn't something she just happened to feel for no reason.

Ahead, she finally saw Miroku and Sango. But Shippo, Inuyasha or Kaede weren't there. Pedaling faster, she stopped close to them. Miroku looked at her, almost with pity, than quickly looked away. Kagome looked to Sango for explanation for this behaviour.

Miroku again looked at her, he could bring himself to tell her. No, he couldn't. He put his hand on Kagome's shoulder, gave a slight shake of his head, than walked off to somewhere off in the village. Sango watched him go, it would be to her.

"Kagome, I don't know how to tell you this…"

Narrowing her eyes, Kagome watched her carefully. She was totally freaked at the moment, what was wrong? Where was Shippo and Inuyasha? Letting her voice finally speak again, she said softly, "Sango, where's Inuyasha and Shippo?"

"Shippo's with Kaede."

"And Inuyasha?"

"Inuyasha's dead."
