Before I start… beware of the fact that some characters may be extremely out of character at times.
---Feudal Era---
Inuyasha-
I was fine, I would have lasted till night to see Kagome. But then Kouga had to show up. I remember clear as day what happened.
-----Flashback-----
Inuyasha sat outside Kaede's hut, eyes closed, his hand on Tetsusaiga, Kagome's backpack on his arm. A faint smell reeking of wolves reached Inuyasha noise. Shippo came up disguised as Kagome. He looked at Inuyasha for a brief moment, then to the direction of Kouga's scent.
"Kagome, love, shall we leave this mutt face behind and be off??" Kouga asked Shippo. Shippo tried not to laugh as Inuyasha opened his eyes and stood up. He pulled Shippo backwards and stared at Kouga.
"You just called a kitsune Kagome." Shippo said to Kouga, changing back to himself.
"Why don't you attack me, half- breed? Is it because you'll let Kagome come willingly? Or because you aren't strong enough?" Kouga asked, half- laughing.
" I'm not because Kagome wouldn't have liked that... She left this world last night, Kouga." Inuyasha said with grief in his voice. Inuyasha stared at Kagome's backpack.
"You let her die?! You let my woman die?!" Kouga erupted. He looked furious, yet sad.
"I didn't... The fates took her. She went when no one expected her to. They had to separate us. Damn it, Kouga! I would have died for her! I loved her! You claimed to love her! But did you stay?! I let Kikyo go without me for her! I had once loved Kikyo more than life itself! You could never comprehend that! I didn't let her die... I couldn't... she's gone... and I never got to say goodbye." Inuyasha barked out, as he felt tears falling down his cheeks.
---------A brief Moment in Kagome's time
At that same moment, same day, 500 years in the future, Kagome said, "I may never see Inuyasha again. He may die today, and I'll never know. I'll never be okay, unless I'm in his arms. Last night, I said I loved him, he said he loved me, and I... almost died when he had to leave."
---------Back to flashback
"Inuyasha... I normally would come up with a degrading nickname for you... I never saw a demon cry for a human before. I.. believe you, despite it being against my ethics. Sorry for your loss. I'm nice.. That's scary..." Kouga said, as he sped off.
-----End Flashback-----
Inuyasha-
I sat against the well, with Shippo asleep in my lap. I wanted to see Kagome so bad, to breathe in her scent, to touch her hair. I wanted it her by my side so bad. I loved her like a friend at first.. Then a sister.. Then more... She's my everything. And.. she's gone. I sat Shippo down against the well. I ran to the Goshinboku and wrote underneath the spot where I once lay, 'Kagome Higurashi... I love you more than life itself. I'm always going to be DREAMING OF YOU. Love, Inuyasha...' I sighed, hoping she'd see the note. I ran back to Shippo and picked him up.
-----Present Day, Japan.-----
Kagome-
Ayumi and I walked along the streets of Japan, tears running down my cheeks. I opened the note my mom wrote my teachers. It read, 'To Kagome's teachers, please excuse Kagome's lack of uniform. Last night her best friend died in her arms after an accident.. She refuses to wear anything but his festival haori. I am truly sorry if it disrupts the classes. Arigato, Higurashi- san.' Tears came faster down my cheeks.
"Ayumi... I want to tell you something, whether you believe me or not is up to you. Will you promise not to tell?" I asked her. She looked me over for a moment and the nodded. I sighed and began my story, as we walked down the streets of Tokyo.
---A half-hour later, Near the Higurashi Shrine---
Ayumi didn't interrupt me once. I looked at her as we reached the shrine.
"Kagome.. I believe you... I know I'd be admitted to a mental hospital if anyone heard that, but... i do... I wanted to let you know something as well. According to my family tree, I'm a descendent of Sango and Miroku. And my dad's a hentai." Ayumi told me. I smiled at her, and we walked into the shrine grounds.
My mom noticed us and called Ayumi's mom, saying Ayumi had been sent to bring me after a very traumatic experience, and she asked Ayumi's mother if Ayumi could stay overnight to give me company and support. She said yes..
I hesitated as we approached the Goshinboku, and I then looked up to it. I noticed a carving under the spot were Inuyasha lay 500 years ago. I started to climb the tree. When I reached it, I read 'Kagome Higurashi... I love you more than life itself. I'm always going to be DREAMING OF YOU. Love, Inuyasha... '. I noticed Ayumi in the tree with me, reading the note Inuyasha left. We climbed down. Then, I cried.
---Twelve boxes of tissues and six hours later---
Ayumi and I sat in my bed, looking at pictures of my feudal era friends. I cried sometimes as we looked at their pictures, but I knew I would see them again. I had too. Although, I was technically looking at Sango and Miroku at the current moment. I smiled at that thought and looked up. Ayumi smiled at me. It felt good to have a friend by my side then. I took a picture of myself and Inuyasha that Kaede had taken in my hands.
"I used to think, that friends were just friends. Yet I know now.. It's their honesty.. their empathy.. their sense of humor that keeps me going on... It's their style.. their grace.. their kind embrace.. that keeps me hopeful.. it's the very bond we share... yet it's the honesty.. the empathy.. the humor... The style.. the grace.. the kind embrace.. I need them to give. To.. me.." I sang as I felt tears welling in my eyes.
"I love him so much, Ayumi.. why did they take Inuyasha from me?!" I asked her, "Why..?"
3rd person, outside Kagome's room
Hojo, Eri, and Yuka walked around the shrine. They were hoping to see Kagome and Ayumi when a voice rang out.
"I used to think, that friends were just friends. Yet I know now.. It's their honesty.. their empathy.. their sense of humor that keeps me going on... It's their style.. their grace.. their kind embrace.. that keeps me hopeful.. it's the very bond we share... yet it's the honesty.. the empathy.. the humor... The style.. the grace.. the kind embrace.. I need them to give. To.. me.." Kagome's voice sang out. A sniffle was faintly heard.
"I love him so much, Ayumi.. why did they take Inuyasha from me?!" Kagome's voice almost wailed out, "Why..?"
Hojo, Eri, and Yuka looked up in surprise.
"I don't know, Kagome... We can only hope for you to find him. The writing on the Goshinboku is no joke.. He really loves you... You found love so young.. true love.. He gave up Kikyo, the one he loved more than life itself at one time.. for you Kag... He's all you really need. Don't worry. Maybe time will stand still. Although the three in the Goshinboku trying to figure out what I meant are evil..." Ayumi's voice sounded through the window as the three tree climbers read the inscription.
