Chapter 2 : what can't be forgotten

"How could he!!!" screamed a frantic girl.

"How could he do this, he had no right!" Kagome was trapped, with no way back, she was now stuck in her era, and she doubted he would come back for. She knew she wouldn't be able to live with the thought of never going back. It was to much!

"How could he…" she whispered to herself through small sobs.

"KAGOME!! IS THAT YOU DOWN THERE?"

~On the other side of the well~

"SESSOMARU! IT IS TIME FOR YOUR DEATH!"

"I doubt the likes of you defeat me!"

"How dare you even think of touching MY Kagome! You will pay greatly!"

"You blame me for something you brought to yourself. It is quite clear she has chosen me over y-" Sesshomaru was cut off by Inu-Yasha, whose anger was rising uncontrollably.

"DOES IT REALLY MATTER NOW?! SHE'S NOT GOING TO COME! I WILL DIE BEFORE I SEE HER IN YOUR ARMS AGAIN!"

"That can be arranged!"

"BRING IT ON!"

Sesshomaru and Inu Yasha glared at each other for a moment, and were about to attack, when out of no where, Miroku and Sango arrived. They instantly went to attack mode seeing that a Sesshomaru was there in front of them.

"Inu-Yasha…what's going on?! And where is Kagome?!" asked Miroku.
"Are you planning on telling them how you shoved her back in the well and took the shards from her, so she couldn't come back?" said Sesshomaru. Inu-Yasha just glared at him, noticing the glares of confusion coming from his gang of friends.

He then turned to them, and said "Guys, I'm sorry it was all I could do to get her away from HIM." he then placed a glance towards Sesshomaru and they just curiously looked at him

"What did he do?" Shippo asked curiously. Inu-Yasha just looked at the ground, and then to Sesshomaru and glared daggers at him.

"He got to comfortable with Kagome." said Inu-Yasha. The others just looked from one brother to the other, so there was now more to there rivalry then just a sword…there was a girl…a woman…Kagome…

~meanwhile…in the Future Era~

"HOW COULD HE DO THIS?!" wept Kagome. Her hair was all knotted and tangled, she was very pale, and she was wearing old clothing ((A/N: rags…)) She was overly depressed. She didn't know how to live without them…she didn't know what to do any more!

Her mom tried everything she could think of to help her daughter… but nothing would work.
'last time, it wasn't that bad…but…now…I just can't take it!!' Kagome thought, as she sobbed herself to sleep…

~Back to the Sengoku Era~

Sesshomaru had left, and the gang returned to the village in silence.

When they were about to enter it, Sango stopped…She didn't want to travel with someone that took her best friend away from her like this…She didn't want him around anymore…It was one thing, or the other…He, or she…they would have to choose…

"Inu-Yasha… I don't want to travel with you anymore…Miroku, Shippo, take your pick, Inu-Yasha, who took away Kagome for good… Or me…I cant be near somebody so despicable who would cast away someone they loved, so no one else could be with them…Make your choice…" she said…looking to the ground

Inu-Yasha just looked at her…Hurt and shocked that she would banish him away, for what he's done. Sure he did do something bad, but to get rid of him like this? He didn't know what to say…

He looked at Shippo, the pup that looked up to Kagome as his surrogated mother. He could tell that Shippo was to scared to say it, but that he agreed with Sango.
Then he looked at Miroku, who was at this moment, staring at the ground with a upset look on his face. He then looked up at Sango.
"I must follow Sango on this one…I'm sorry Inu-Yasha, may we meet again…" He then walked to Sango's side and was followed by Shippo, He couldn't believe what was happening. He was being abandoned…

"But…why?…" Inu-Yasha whispered as his friends walked away, for what looked like the rest of all there lives…

He didn't care any more, he had to get over it, Kagome was gone. He couldn't bare to see her anymore and his friends left him alone.

So he went to the only person he could think of that could comfort him now…Kikyo.

But what he didn't notice, was that Sesshomaru had gotten the Shikon No Tama Shards when he wasn't looking…and he was now racing to the well…

Inu-Yasha sensed where his brother was heading, and wanted to investigate before going to see Kikyo, but didn't know that his brother had the Shikon Shards. He simply thought his brother was going to try and get through by force, but he knew that he was the only hanyou capable of getting through. So decided to leave his brother to do as he pleased. But what came shocked him was that the presence of his brother vanished…like thin air!

~Sesshomaru's POV~

'Heh, that stupid brother of mine lets his guard down way to easily…Now that I have these Shards, I will get to Kagome!' thought Sesshomaru. 'And once I get to her, she'll be mine' he grinned.

He got to the old well, and jumped through. When he landed in the other end, he exited the well, and looked around. He smelled her. She was drenched in the smell of salt…tears…
"Inu-Yasha, look what you have done" he whispered to himself as he exited the small cottage.

He noticed the house, and walked up to it. When he entered through the door, he meet the eyes of a sad girl…A girl that was beautiful just a day ago…
'what happened to her?' he thought.

"Kagome?" he whispered, she looked at him, shocked.

"How…D-did you get here?" Kagome asked.

Sesshomaru showed her the Jewel Shards and she looked at him with a questioning look.

"I took them from Inu-Yasha. I had to see you again." he said in a whisper. she just looked at him with teary eyes. She was going to cry again.

'Why is Sesshomaru here…and not Inu-Yasha?' she wondered.

Sure she wanted to see him too, deep down, but she needed to see Inu-Yasha…" where's Inu-Yasha?" she asked him.

His expression changed to sincere, to anger, which scared her.

'I came all this way, to prove something to this girl, and she asks me where my stupid little hanyou brother is!' he thought. But was cut-off from thinking any more, he notice how Kagome had launched herself into his arms, in a hug. He hugged back, relieved to know that she didn't hate, or reject him.
