Disclaimer- Okay, if you don't get it now, shame on you. I do NOT, I repeat, do NOT own Inuyasha the anime and manga series. Also, I don't own 'I'm With You' by Avril Lavigne.
A/N- I'm finally recovering from my sickness. Can you believe this? Christmas Eve, I got a slight cold and cough, had to miss the party, and stayed in bed watching reruns. Two days later, I was literally delusional and in bed the whole day with the fever. The next day, fever disappeared (somehow) and I came down with the flu. ^^ I have the best life. So, I couldn't update until today. This'll be your late, very late Christmas present. Happy Holidays!
Thanks for reviewing!:
Kin103- Promise you, this chapter is much, much longer.
Gopher2086- Rushed out? The chapter was rushed? *re-reads* O.O Woopsie…eheheh
Mkh2- You're reading and reviewing after midnight? o.O Don't know how you do it. My eyes would have failed me by then.
The Future Queen- I would gladly keep writing! Except this story has to end soon, like all stories. I don't think that the world has enough of a supply of appropriate music that I could use for this fic.

Let Go Chapter FiveInuyasha, where are you?! Kagome ran back towards the well. She stopped and leaned onto the ledge, staring into the darkness once more.
What did they mean by haven't seen him since last winter?! No way! Not possible! Inuyasha wouldn't just disappear like that! She was going hysterical. And Kagome knew it.
Ok, calm down Higurashi. You do not want a mental breakdown in the Feudal Era. They'll probably think you're possessed and kill you or something That definitely calmed her down. She got off the well, and started to walk around slowly. The rain still went on and, unfortunately, it began to get cold.
What'll I do now? I mean, even if I do stay in Sengoku Jidai this time, there will be a slim chance that we'll complete our journey without him. It wouldn't be the same.
There wouldn't be any nagging or seething hanyou around to chastise her. Kagome wandered about aimlessly, the same thoughts coming back into her head over and over again.
What'll I do? What'll we all do?Suddenly, she pitched forward over her loose footing and caught hold of…a rope? Its really amazing how your senses came become so obsolete when you're deep in thought. Kagome didn't even realize she was walking in a bridge. A very familiar one.
"Kagome! Recite the Word tohold Inuyasha's spirit!" Kaede called out after she had put on the necklace.
"Huh? What?" Kagome called out confused. She cried out as the ground below her gave way. The Shikon No Tama flew out of her hands and dropped onto the bridge below.
"Just say something to subjugate the Inuyasha!"
"Subjugate me, will you? You fool!" he asked and jumped onto the bridge, bending down to retrieve the jewel.
"Um…uh…" Kagome muttered and looked around for a hint. She spotted his dog-ears and a word came to her. "Sit!"
That was the first time they had met, and the first time she has spoken the enchantment to be used against him.
"Oh right, this bridge!" Kagome murmured and looked around. She was standing in the very spot he had before falling into the river after the wooden planks snapped.
The memory was both amusing and painful. The floodgates opened. She stared into the river as the silent tears wound once against down her face.
~I'm Standing on a bridge,
I'm waitin in the dark,
I thought that you'd be here by now,
There's nothing but the rain,
No footsteps on the ground,
I'm listening but there's no sound~
Kagome choked back a sob. At the well clearing, she was trying to listen for the familiar rustle of his haori as he ran towards her with something new, or old, to protest. But no raving hanyou came out of the forest. Only some animal skittered around in the grass.
~Isn't anyone tryin to find me?
Won't somebody come take me home,
It's a damn cold night ,
Trying to figure out this life,
Wont you take me by the hand,
take me somewhere new,
I dont know who you are,
but I... I'm with you~
She sighed and sat on the bridge, ignoring the rough wood that scratched her bare legs. Kagome shivered. She should have worn on something besides the usual skirt and shirt.
What will happen now? Miroku won't live much longer. We never fought and defeated Naraku, never gathered and completed the Shikon No Tama. And without Inuyasha, we definitely won't be doing any of that anytime soon.
This vengeance that all of them have… I wish it would go away. Every single day, Sango broods about her little brother, Miroku stares at the hole in his hand, and Inuyasha is seeing something the rest of us don't see no matter how positive things turn out to be that day. I wish for once, just once, we would stop it with all these goals to achieve and just have some fun… go somewhere new to visit, not on some mission for some Tama shard. Miroku and Sango could finally loosen up and become closer together, Shippou could get away from risking his life for once, and Inuyasha and I could…no it's could've. Something like that will happen to me…just that it with someone else.
Kagome bit her lip and turned pink. It was embarrassing to think about those thoughts even though noone was around. She looked around, but to her displeasure, saw no silver locks of hair glinting in the darkness. More tears ran down her cheeks, and dark drops began to appear on her blue and yellow sweater.
How many times can a person cry base on one thing?An interesting question that cannot be answered.
She got up from the ground and walked away, her tears drying up.
If I'm here on the bridge, then that means the Goshin Boku is close byKagome headed towards the cliffs and began to walk, or rather climb, up the steep hill. Pretty soon she was climbing. The loose dirt and pebbles rained onto her face, stopping herself every few minutes to wipe her eyes.
Soon enough, she got up there. And it was easy enough to spot that tall tree. It was probably pretty young in this time, but the tree still soared above countless others.
She beat walked through the clearing and ignored the memories that flashed into her mind. Inuyasha's body pinned to the tree. He awoken from deep sleep, accusing her of being Kikyou, finding out she was really Kagome, freed by the un-familiar girl named Kagome, and trying to kill her, too.
She chuckled at the memories, but immediately reprimanded herself. How can I laugh in a time like this?
Before the roots got into the ground, there was a part where they formed a comfortable nook for her to settle into. She looked around, hearing nothing but silence.
~I'm looking for a place,searching for a face,
is anybody here I know,
cause nothings going right,
and everything's a mess,
and noone likes to be alone~
If only there was such a thing as 'happily ever after' in reality. That would be a great end to this feudal fairy tale. That's a place we're all looking for. Inuyasha wouldn't be gone in that place. Noone here would understand how I feel except Sango and Miroku. But I can't always depend on them all the time. Argh, why must life be so complicated?! If I go back now, those university entrance exams are facing me. It'll probably be awhile before I get back. And Miroku might be… But if I stay here, I'll be alone. I still have Miroku, Sango, and Shippou, but… life seems so… un-real without him.
She grimaced. Life looked bleak in the future.
~Isn't anyone tryin to find me?
Won't somebody come take me home
It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Wont you take me by the hand
take me somewhere new
I dont know who you are
but I... I'm with you~
She wanted to runaway from all these troubles right here and now. But that wasn't possible. Not for her. Most of her life, she had faced her problems… what about those meetings with Kikyou he had?… well, most of her problems. Still, running away was not an option.
~Oh why is everything so confusing
maybe I'm just out of my mind
yea yea yea~
That was a great question. Everything in her life had been confusing.
Oh boy, I really am going mental. Wouldn't mind so much if it had been in my time, not here in the Feudal Era.
~It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Wont you take me by the hand
take me somewhere new
I dont know who you are
but I... I'm with you
Take me by the hand
take me somewhere new
I dont know who you are
but I... I'm with you
I'm with you
Take me by the hand
take me somewhere new
I dont know who you are
but I... I'm with you
I'm with you
I'm with you...~
Kagome got up and walked a few feet forward.
"Inuyasha…if you're out there, I want you to know that I miss you," Kagome called out.
Something jumped down from the tree and landed behind her.
"That's great then. 'Cause I missed you," a ruff voice said behind her. His hands flew out, turned her around, and grabbed her into a hug.

A/N-Yes, I always have to end just when something big happens. Ugh, seems like my stuffed up nose is gone now but I still have this stupid cough that wont go away! T.T
