That night, Kagome sat by a bright fire, while everyone else slept; Shippo curled up in her lap. Her thoughts were scrambling mindlessly, about the incident earlier, Inuyasha really worried about her.

"Kagome?" She turned quickly, finding Inuyasha jumping from the tree branch he was sitting on, and made way toward her. "Why are you still awake?" His voice was soft, almost gentle as he spoke.

Kagome looked down at Shippo curled in her lap, and then at Inuyasha, "Oh, I just can't sleep." Inuyasha slowly sat down next to her, but gazed into the fire. "I'm sorry I left, I didn't mean to make you worry about me."

"Keh, I didn't worry about you! I was just scared Naraku got the jewel!" Inuyasha snapped, becoming himself again. He gave a slight glance over at Kagome, and looked almost shocked to find her eyes becoming watery.

"I can't believe you!" she shouted at the hanyou, stirring Sango and Miroku. "Naraku could have been planning my death, and all you cared about was the jewel shards!!!"

Kagome shook her head in disbelief, Inuyasha was so frustrating! "Kagome-!" he began but Kagome interrupted him with a "sit boy." And he plunged to the ground with a thud.

"I'm going back to my time!" she yelled, "And don't even bother coming back for me!" she paused while she gathered up her bike. "You must happy, Inuyasha." She tossed him the jewel from around her neck. "Now you don't have to worry about rescuing me anymore!"

"Ka-Kagome! Wait!" Inuyasha stumbled up from the ground, "Wench, where do you think your going!" He was about to follow her, when she called another sit command.

"Kagome!" Miroku muttered, still partly asleep, "Wait!"

She didn't, but kept walking through the pitch black night. Her anger seemed to blind her from the danger on walking out at night with really no protection. But she wasn't thinking too much about herself then; Only about Inuyasha.

Her mind was set, but she kept questioning whether or not she should have stopped herself from handing over the jewel. It was a choice made from anger, but was she really ready to leave that era, and never come back to help?

She wasn't so sure. And the thought of never seeing Inuyasha again, pierced her heart. While she had come to this era helping fight off demons and search for the Shikan no tama started when she broke it in the first place. So she would come and help Inuyasha search for the shards, but never intended on actually falling in love with the dog-eared hanyou.

As Kagome stumbled on, she shook the thought of love and Inuyasha out of her mind. Of course he didn't love her; he made more of an effort proving that to her, then actually being nice.

Her loved Kikyo anyways, a priestess, who died after they were betrayed by the demon Naraku. Kagome is told to be Kikyo's reincarnation, which she never really understood. But Kikyo and Inuyasha are still attracted to one another, even if Kikyo isn't among the living.

It wasn't too long before she reached the bone eater's well. The well that carried her through this era to her time. She sighed, and leaned up against the side of the well, could she really jump through it and never return?

A thought came to her mind, maybe Inuyasha would come and get her, as usual. But no, why would he want to get you? You already disowned all of them, she thought bitterly to herself.

No, she couldn't leave, Miroku, Sango, Shippo, Inuyasha, they were all her friends. She couldn't just leave. Besides, Kagome thought, No matter how much Inuyasha tries to hide it, he needs me. Quietly she turned her bike around, and added one last thought. And I need him.

"Just be calm, you'll be with everyone soon enough." She muttered quickly, "This is no time to get scared, girl." She slowly began to walk her bike in the other direction.

"Are you sure?" a mocking voice whispered loudly somewhere around her. It was definitely a male's voice, Kagome was sure of it. When she looked behind her, right next to the well stood Naraku. Smiling menacingly.

Out of habit, Kagome began to reach for her bow and arrows, when it hit her; she had left her bow at the camp when she had stormed off! "Oh my.." She whispered, watching Naraku's dark eyes pierce into her own.

"Damn her," Inuyasha mumbled, as he slowly brought himself to his feet again, "I can't believe her!" he stormed on.

"You are going after her, aren't you?" Miroku asked, looking out into the darkness Kagome disappeared in.

"Keh, yeah, yeah." He said. "Give me a break! She just gave me a sit command, and all you care about, is her?" Miroku sighed,

"Very well, Inuyasha. But don't wait too...." Miroku paused, his eyes had just fell upon Kagome's bow and arrows. "Perhaps you should go now," he added quickly.

"Hey! I said I needed a break!" Inuyasha hollered, but as soon as he noticed the bow sitting against the tree, Inuyasha left without another word. He ran into the darkness, hoping that she would be alright.

He scolded himself for the harsh words he said, and was furious that the only reason he said them, was to hide his feelings from her. He jumped over the trees, and began to sniff the area. Kagome's scent wasn't anywhere.

Finally the well came to view, and Inuyasha ran over to it. Kagome's bike lied on its side. "So, she really did go back to her time. Keh, I can't believe her!" He growled to himself, as he turned to go back to everyone else. "Damn, girl. What a waste of time."

A/N Yay! Another chapter done!! In the next chapter Kagome is in real danger, and Inuyasha is still fighting his pride to go get her from her time.. What will happen??
