They ran towards the abandoned house, to the god tree, and to the well. Inuyasha followed her, as he had been unconscious the day before. When they reached the well, they were both surprised.
"Kagome?" Inuyasha wondered aloud.
"Inuyasha!" The girl in the school uniform said. "What's happened here? My house is abandoned, I can't find Mama or Jii-san, and I don't know where you went yesterday, and who's she? What's going on?"
"I don't know, Kagome, I think we're in a different time, but that's not important right now—"
"Not important!?" she protested, her confusion now turning to anger. "Inuyasha..."
"Wait! I've got to tell you something! This woman..." He stammered.
Kelcie was enjoying this. He'd soon get to it.
"What, Inuyasha? What could possibly be more important than my parents disappearing and my house being ruined?"
"Kagome, this woman is my... my mate." He stiffened. The girl stared at the two. She took in Kelcie's features.
"Your mate? What is that supposed to mean?" Kagome said, more than slightly ticked.
"We're... together, as you say."
Kelcie spoke up. "Honey, it's destiny. We're meant to be together. You're a human, and we're inu youkai. It's meant to be." Kelcie smiled at her lover. Inuyasha looked unsure.
"I-I'm sorry, Kagome. She's pregnant."
"So? It's not like it could be yours! You've only been gone for one day!" she practically shouted to him.
"She has technology here that shows..."
"You got her pregnant!? How!?"
Kelcie was beginning to get impatient. "How else, schoolgirl?"
Kagome looked at Inuyasha with incredulous eyes.
"I thought we loved each other!"
Inuyasha looked at her with sad eyes.
"Inuyasha! You're always after other women! Osuwari!"
"Ahh!"
"Bitch! How dare you do that to my Inuyasha, treat him like a dog!"
"He was supposed to be mine!"
"Houjou... In your time..." Inuyasha interjected, face on the ground.
"And how am I supposed to get to my time? The well goes to her time now!"
"I'm sure you'll find a kid here to your liking. But you're not getting my Inuyasha."
"You wench!" Kagome yelled in her face.
"I'm not going to carry on this childish name-calling argument any longer." Kelcie walked away.
"You hardly even know him!"
"I know him more than you'll ever know. And only I can make him complete."
"It's true. You know what day it is," Inuyasha had now picked himself up. "Our youki are tied. We are mates now."
Kagome gasped. "You're human!"
Kelcie's trained mind was at work. "We support each other when we're together. We connect on a different level. We are soul mates."
Kagome couldn't take it anymore. She broke down in tears. "Inuyasha, why did you leave me?" she asked between sobs.
"I... I really didn't have a choice. It just happened."
"What do mean you didn't have any choice? You could have said no!"
"She had me tied to a table for gods sake!"
"WHAT!? You... Bitch!" Kagome was not only in tears now, but in hysterics as well. She picked up her bow and drew, just as Kelcie swung the Typhoon over her shoulder.
"MATTE!!" Inuyasha leaped between them. Kelcie grabbed his hand.
"Come on Inuyasha. You've told Kagome. Now we can leave." She pulled him away from the well.
"Gomen kudasai, Kagome."
The poor girl sobbed, bow in hand.
