Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha. If I did... well Kikyo would be dead for real.

(A/n: Thanks to the people who reviewed. I decided to add this chapter a little early so that I can get it out of the way. For some reason I think I kinda rushed. I promise next chapter will be good. R&R please!)

Review responses:

Kagome M.K:

Thanks and you have no idea how much I hate her too. The real reason why I created this story was to show how much Inuyasha DOESN'T need Kikyo the way he needs Kagome.

Jammies2003:

Thanks a lot for your review and I'm planning on updating every three days or so. You have my permission to flame me if I don't review for a while.

Don't worry. Inuyasha will regret his decision. I'll make him suffer for his choice! Lol.

Chapter 1: " How Things Came To Be "

" Inuyasha. " A voice from the darkness whispered into his ears. It sounded like,

" Kagome?! " He asked confused. Kagome, or the voice-that-sounded-like-Kagome chuckled and stepped out of the darkness. Inuyasha peered through the fog, tracing out a woman.

" How could you chose Kikyo, Inuyasha? I love you. I wouldn't make you become human for me. I love you. " Her lustful voice was so thick it could be cut with a knife.

" Let me show you how much your missing. " Kagome said and stepped completely out of the darkness. Inuyasha's eyes almost flew out of their sockets.

" Your naked! " He exclaimed and tried his best to ignore her beautiful artwork of a body as she came closer. There was no indication that Kagome would cover up.

" Don't come any closer, Kagome. I love Kikyo.... re-remember? " He sputtered, knowing that she ignored his warnings. Kagome crept closer to him, soon straddling him as she kissed him passionately and ground her hips into his-------

" INUYASHA! " A shriek much different from Kagome's sensual one rang through the air on a regular day in Sengoku Jidai.

" Dammit! I'm coming Kikyo! " Inuyasha yelled back in reply and tried to cover his erection as he dragged his already overworked body into the hut that he and Kikyo shared.

" Inuyasha! Did you forget what you were supposed to do today? You forgot to cut down trees for firewood. " Kikyo said, exasperated.

" Fine, bitch. I'll cut the damn firewood. " He snapped back and then regretted it. Kikyo turned her back to him and began mixing herbs into a little pot. Inuyasha knew what was going on. It was happening more frequently now. He would go and do the "manly" things only to get frustrated and snap at Kikyo, who in turn would be cold to him for the rest of the night and act like nothing happened the next day.

" It's like were just two strangers living in the same home. " He said aloud as he went into the forest to gather firewood. Inuyasha thought back to his daydream earlier.

" That's been happening more times too. My dreams about Kagome. " Those dreams also weren't something he pondered about for too long. Inuyasha knew WHY he was having the dreams.

" When me and Kikyo make love its so boring. We hardly ever do it anymore. What happened to the times when I wanted her so badly it hurt? Now it hurts everyday that I come home from work. Why did I give up being stronger again? To be with Kikyo. She better damn well give me some pleasure tonight, I don't care about her moods. " Although he wouldn't admit it, Inuyasha wished desperately to be able to jump high and run faster than the average person.

It's been almost a year since Inuyasha made his decision to become fully human and be with Kikyo. Since then, Miroku and Sango married and Sango became pregnant with their first child. They now live in a hut on the edge of Kaede's village, with Shippo and Sango's brother Kohaku. But what of Kagome? Newly freed from her burden of having to find jewel shards, Kagome went back to her time and focused on school as her most important priority.

" I haven't even seen her since that day we destroyed Naraku. " Inuyasha muttered sullenly as he carried firewood back to the hut. " I miss her. "

" Miss who? " Someone asked and Inuyasha dropped the firewood and whirled around, his hand drifting to a familiar part on his body where Tetsusaiga usually laid.

' Damn! I left Tetsusaiga in the hut. ' He cursed himself and looked around.

" Relax, Inuyasha. It's me, Kagome. " Kagome said and stepped in front of him. Inuyasha stared intensely at her in disbelief.

" But your supposed to be in the future. And the well is supposed to be closed up. "

" I have a month off from school. And... I dunno? I just tried to go through the well and it worked. So now I'm here. I had to see how everyone is doing. " She replied cheerfully and pointed to her familiarly large, yellow backpack next to the well about a yard or two away. Inuyasha noticed how much Kagome had grown in the small space of a year. She was a bit taller and....

' A little fuller. ' He thought to himself, indicating her now more womanly breasts and hips. He tried to shake the vision from his mind and he and Kagome struggled with her bag all the way to Miroku and Sango's home as she chatted with him about her life and asked him about his. Not one sad stare crossed her face as he told her about Kikyo. She even asked if she could meet her later.

' Maybe I did Kagome some good for choosing Kikyo. Now she's worry-free. No crazy hanyou to take care of. '
