WOW! I am so sorry that I didn't get to update sooner. Even worse that this is another short chapter. I'm on vacation so this story isn't exactly my top priority. Gomen, please forgive me.
So right now I'm sitting in the master bedroom of my grandma's house and I'm using the bedside table and one of the old chairs from the little kids table. I feel short. My aunt's comp decided that it would break the second I got into the house, so when dad got here I stole his lap top, he stole the king sized bed I was in. seems like a fair trade.
To my reviewers: (there were so many!)

Ok, now that I've taken care of that just one more thing:
Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha, still. cries
(---)
He stood tall, towering above her, his golden orbs boring into her soul.
"It's nor fair!" she cried out, tears began to pour out. He was pained by her crying, it hurt him more then anyone would ever know, but he could not let her know this now, he was doing what was best for her.
"I told you," he said evenly, "I made my decision."
"But-"
"No buts, you don't belong here with me, at least not anymore"
"Why!?" she yelled
"You just don't!" He said his tone more and more aggravated by the second. "You will go," he regained the control of his voice, it's harsh and unyielding manner stung her heart.
She didn't attempt to stop him as he turned and walked away. She didn't move at all, only stood their, fresh tears spilling down her cheeks, watching his long silvery hair disappear among the trees.
Two women came from the village behind her, one engulfed her in a hug, "Don't worry, he won't be like that forever"
"He's just being stubborn"
Silence fell over the three, Kagome looked around, "well, um, lets get going then" she stood.
They made their way to the well, to wait for good-byes from their other friends.
Shippo and Kohaku raced up the path towards the women, the rest of the gang behind them. The kitsune leaping into Kagome's arms, "I'll miss you!"
"Us too" Sango spoke for both herself and Miroku.
"And I" Kaede smiled
"Guys I'll be back in a week, don't worry"
"Feh. Just don't disappear for 8 months again" Inuyasha crossed his arms in his usual fashion.
Kagome nodded, "come on Rin, let's go"
The small girl walked closer, still crying, accepting Kagome's comforting hand.
"I guess my damn brother took off," thought the hanyo, observing the girl.
Kagome and Rin stood at the edge of the well, the jewel held tightly in their joined hands. Rin looked into the woods on last time before the two leapt into the purple and blue swirls of light below.
(------)
"I never told her," he sighed, "A whole damn week and I never told her"
It was late afternoon, Sango and Kohaku were training, Shippo was playing with some village kids, Miroku and Kaede were discussing something or other, and Inuyasha was sitting in his tree.
"WHY COULDN'T I JUST TELL HER!?" he yelled in frustration.
It hadn't been for lack of trying on his part when he tried to get her alone she was with someone, and every time he got her alone one of their "friends" would interrupt.
"I could go now, the well let me through before, and except for Rin none of those distractions are there. My only other choice would be to wait a week"
Back and forth the inner argument raged.
He vaguely remembered Kagome saying something about mood, when Miroku was trying to win Sango over. Of course Miroku had messed this up when he grabbed her ass.
"Mood... what the hell did she mean by that?" he sighed again, "I will never understand women, but it's worth a try"
(------)
He was waiting for her by his tree, their tree, she sprinted to his open arms.
He gently tilted her chin up with his forefinger, "Kagome, I love you"
And with that he tenderly captured her lips with his own, savoring the feeling. His tongue begged her lips to part, to deepen the kiss, and after a moments hesitation it was granted.
She ran her hair through his silvery hair, he nibbled at her lower lip, she melted into the embrace, into the kiss, into him.
"Kagome....Kagome...Kagome"
(------)
"KAGOME!"
"Huh? What?" the morning light was harsh., "What do you want Souta?"
"Mom left and she said you would make lunch"
"Don't you have to be in school or something?"
"I'm on vacation just like you"
She growled
"Rin and I will just wait downstairs then"
The two kids disappeared from the doorway. Kagome's head fell back towards the pillow, he eyes closing in annoyance. She willed herself back to sleep, back to that wonderful dream.
"ARG! Why am I doing this? I'm over him, or I was... We never really had anything to begin with. He just wanted Kikyo, and I just fell for the first guy that showed real interest in me."
She shook her head, attempting to free if from the thought of Inuyasha, in image of him confessing his love, "In my dreams" she coughed sarcastically before standing and making her way downstairs.
She prepared lunch for Rin and Souta and herself, taking the trays to the living room where the two sat in front of the TV. "Eat up"
The older girl felt a surge of pride when Rin beat Kohaku at Tekken 4. The girl had adapted well to the future, but Kagome could see that something was missing still.
Kagome doubted that Sesshomaru and Rin would ever become more then what they already were, but to Rin he was everything, a hero, a guardian, and a father.
Though she may enjoy living in the future with Kagome and her family, but Rin's home, Rin's family, Sesshomaru was in the past.
No matter what Rin said, Kagome decided, she was going back to the past, where she belonged.

Well that's all folk! I'm back to lounging on the couch for a few days, My brother might set up his comp when he gets here, I'll try to have another update then. So until then, whenever then it:
