Uh… this chapter's coming out pretty fast, I had nothing to do today since Adult Swim changed the schedule yet again so I have to wait an extra hour for Inuyasha to come on. So not fair.

Disclaimer: Uh… Inuyasha's not mine, I don't wanna talk about it… -sob-

One Last Chance

Chapter 5- Missing Eachother

Kagome woke up and glanced at the clock, 7:14. The last night was a blur, she had sat at the well crying for a little while after saying goodnight to Inuyasha, then she had just come straight up to her room and gone to bed. 'Despite all he's put me through… I still love him…' She kept asking herself the same question, only to answer the same way each time. 'Will I go back? No… he'll only hurt me again, there's no point.' A tear slid down her cheek, she had to stay, she couldn't go back, he'd crush her heart so there'd be nothing left… She wiped her eyes and stood up to get dressed, and flicked on the radio for something to concentrate on.

Evanescence- My Immortal

I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
'Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me

You used to captivate me
By your resonating light
Now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts
My once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away
All the sanity in me

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me

I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me
I've been alone all along

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me.

Kagome reached over and angrily turned off the radio, but a sob escaped her throat, and soon, she found herself hugging her knees, rocking back and forth, crying her eyes out. 'Inuyasha… I love you so much… Why can't you stop hurting me?' Kagome cried for what seemed like forever, then stood up, wiped her eyes, and put on a uniform. 'I can always go back… at least then I'd have some people to comfort me, that actually understand what I'm going through.' Kagome considered the thought, at least she'd have Sango, Miroku, Shippo, Kaede, and even Kirara to be there for her. 'I'll go back… Tonight, but first I have to get through the day.'

Kagome zoned out in her last class, blah blah blah Kyoto blah blah blah Tokyo. Sheesh, did class have to be so boring? She began thinking of what she'd do when she went back to the feudal era tonight, it would be hard, of course, but maybe she could make up with Inuyasha. Maybe she could tell him how she really felt…

"Higurashi." Kagome came out of her daze to realize that everyone was leaving, class was over. She walked over to Sensei Yoshimoto. "Yes, Sensei?" Her teacher nodded kindly, "You've been gone quite a bit Miss Higurashi, how have you been handling your illness?" Kagome remembered that her grandfather had been making up fake illnesses for her since she was in the feudal era so much. "Oh, I'm doing quite fine, thank you," she said with a smile. Sensei Yoshimoto just smiled and handed her a stack of assignments that she'd missed. "I'll give you a few weeks to finish all of these," he remarked kindly. "Go on now, school is over." Kagome bowed her head, "Yes, goodbye Sensei." And with that she took off out the door, in a hurry to get home. She was going to do some of her assignments, get packed, eat dinner, and go back to the feudal era. 'I hope nobody's mad at me…'

Inuyasha paced the ground near the well impatiently, waiting for the sun to set. Miroku and the others had no idea that he was planning to go to Kagome's time tonight, they knew that he'd be staying away from them… He always did on the nights he became human. 'Come on you damn sun, set!' As he was pacing however, he didn't sense the presence behind him.

"Inuyasha," a woman's voice spoke. "Why are you wasting your time waiting for that pathetic excuse of a reincarnation?"

"Ki-Kikyo?" Inuyasha breathed whirling around. "What are you doing here?"

"I'm sorry, I never came to the understanding that you didn't want me around," she replied coldly.

"Look Kikyo, I-I don't…"

"You don't what, Inuyasha?"

'Dammit, this is harder than I thought it would be… How the hell do I just come out and tell her?'

"Kikyo, you never loved me for who I was, you wanted me to change, and you don't want me to be happy and live…" he shook his head trying to clear his mind. "But Kagome… she does, and I'd rather have someone who loves me for who I am."

The look on Kikyo's face was one of regret, and one of hate. "So be it. Go then, and waste more of your time on her." She spoke with a tone of disgust, as if saying Kagome would kill her on the spot… If she wasn't dead already, that is. (haha! screw you Kikyo!) Her soul-catchers came and lifted her in the air, carrying her away from Inuyasha once again, for what should be the last time.

Suddenly, Inuyasha felt the changes of becoming a human. He grabbed a lock of his hair and, sure enough, it was black, and his hands were claw-free. "Finally," he whispered looking at the well. 'Here I come Kagome… Please forgive me.' And with that, he dove into the well.

Kagome sat outside the wellhouse with her bag sitting by her feet. She had packed it full of ramen, in an attempt to win Inuyasha's heart. It was pretty sad, but it was one of the only things she could think of to do. Finally the sun set, and she walked into the wellhouse, and jumped into her portal to the feudal era. She closed her eyes as she traveled through time, but met something solid, sooner than she had expected. "Oof," came the response of what she hit. She opened her eyes, and all she had in her vision was red. Looking up, she saw black hair, and violet eyes, filled with hurt. "Inuyasha?" she whispered.

Ok, well there you go! That one's pretty long, 3 and ¾ pages in Microsoft Works. - Um, ok, I'm kinda confused here. They ran into each other while they were going through time, so their not in anybody's time. Which time should they come out in? You can just review and tell me. And yay, I dissed Kikyo! LOL Also, I know I said this wasn't a songfic, but I just got the Evanescence CD, and I was listening to it, and I just thought that My Immortal would fit in okay, sorry if there was any confusion!
