Futures Together Chapter 2

Kagome shot up in bed.

"INUYASHA!!! You didn't wake me up!" Inuyasha walked into his room.

"I thought you needed some more sleep. We were up late last night." He walked over and sat next to her.

"Inuyasha, do you forget your past self isn't as forgiving as you. He's gonna kill me for being late. It's bad enough I don't live at the shrine anymore."

"Kagome..." She looked up at him and stopped rambling. "Calm down. I'll run you over if you'd like me to." She nodded. "Then you better get up and get dressed." He got up and left the room. Kagome got up and put her jean shorts and white tank top on. Brushed her hair and teeth and walked out to find Inuyasha drinking coffee at the kitchen table. She walked up behind him and put her arms around his neck.

"Thank you, I had fun last night and needed more sleep. I'm glad you let me rest more." He scared her when he pulled her into his lap, he held her tight and kissed her.

I should be used to that by now. He HAS been doing it for the past three months now. Gezzz, I better get going before Inuyasha yells at me and I have to 'sit' him.

Kagome kissed him again and got up. "I should be leaving Inuyasha. Will you take me there?" Inuyasha got up and grabbed his keys. They went outside and got in the car. It was a quiet ride over to her old home. Kagome and Inuyasha got out and walked up to the well.

"Will you be here when I come back?" He nodded and kissed her "Bye Inuyasha."

"Bye Kagome. If I hurt, yell or whatever it is I used to do to you, sorry." She shrugged her shoulders and smiled and then jumped into the well with a smile. "I'm sorry Kagome. I wish I could take it back, but it's to late. Your already mine but to my past self your not, so please know, I don't mean it."

Kagome landed in the past and climbed out to met a very pissed off Inuyasha. She on the other hand, had a smile on her face. She had her hanyou but he didn't know it yet.

"Hi, Inuyasha."

"Don't hi me, wench. Your late."

"I'm sorry Inuyasha I woke up late. I didn't mean it." They started walking to the village. Inuyasha walked behind Kagome.

When they got to the village, Miroku had a red hand print on his cheek and Sango looked really angry.

"Hello Lady Kagome." Miroku said walking to Kagome

"Hello Miroku." She realized what he was getting ready to do "Miroku, don't you dare, or you'll have matching cheeks." He got the hint and walked away.

"Okay, Kagome's here, let's go." Inuyasha, and the others walked in the direction of the South. It was time for Koga to give up his shards.

"Kagome..." Sango said pulling Kagome aside during there break.

"What is it Sango?"

"You're different. You haven't fought with Inuyasha in over a month. What's wrong?"

"I don't understand Sango, what do you mean?"

"You avoid arguing with Inuyasha. He could say something that used to drive you to sitting him a hundred times now if he says anything like that you just ignore him. It's weird Kagome, your changing."

"Sango, I am growing up. I can't just lose my temper, just from a little comment. I just learned to control my temper with a little help from a friend back home." Kagome smiled at the thought of her lover in the future.

It may be Inuyasha, but he still doesn't know what we do in the present. Kagome gave a grin. Sango looked at Kagome waiting for her to tell her who this person was.

"Kagome, who is it? Maybe they could give me a few lessons." Kagome laughed

"Never mind Sango."

"Kagome....do you still have feelings for Inuyasha?"

Kagome looked as thought Sango had asked her the hardest question in the world.

Of course I still love him, just because I love the future him, doesn't mean I don't love all of him. I met his past self first, but his present self treats me with the respect I deserve. Kagome was snapped back to reality when she heard Sango call her name.

"Huh?" "Kagome... Inuyasha....do you still love him?" Kagome just nodded and gave her friend a smile.

"Sango...no matter how he treats me I will always love him. He could break my heart, to where it would never heal, but I would still love him. I know that's stupid but I can't help but love him." Sango nodded and they walked back to the guys.

"Where have you been? We've been waiting to leave." Inuyasha said viciously as the girls walk up to where the guys were.

"None of your business Inuyasha." Sango said as she sat down on a log.

"Gezzz...I was just asking you a question. Kagome have you sensed a shard, I haven't smelt that dumb wolf yet today."

"No, I haven't. but we will find him soon. Don't worry." Kagome gave him a smile

She's been acting really weird lately. I wonder why. Oh well who cares. She'll never love me anyway. I love her so much, but I can't tell her. She would laugh in my face.

"So why don't you just take her, then she can't say no to you. She'll already be yours."

What!? Who are you?

"I'm you. Moron. I am you. But I'm more of just your demon half. I hate the human feelings of love and caring, just take her before someone else does."

I can't do that! That would brake her heart. I could never hurt her. She's so caring and pure. If I was the one to steal her purity, I wouldn't be able to live with myself. If she wants to be with me, let that be her choice.

"Fine whatever. Have it your stupid way."

What In the world was that all about. Just as it came it was gone. Inuyasha was on the ground with a hole through his chest. Now on the ground fighting for his life.

What the hell. I didn't even feel it. I didn't smell anything.

"INUYASHA!!!" Kagome called his name.

Inuyasha looked up to find a tiger demon standing over Kagome.

Kagome...

"If you let me come forward, we can save her...but if you don't then all of you can die...It's up to you................................."
