Read and review or my story does not go on. Lol.

The silence that drifted around them was an unbearable thing. Kagome didn't believe what she was hearing.

"No, it happened yesterday!" She stammered.

"Kagome it happened ten years ago. I can remember it clearly. You left us in anger, then you never came back….. I didn't come after you at first, but when I finally did the well wouldn't let me through."

"After you left us, things went to utter hell. Naraku got the Shikon Jewel and now rules this whole world." He explained.

Kagome fell to her knee's. She couldn't believe what she was hearing.

"But….what happened to everyone? Sango, Miroku, Shippou?" She questioned, still in disbelief.

"Why should I explain again. Your probably just another one of those shape shifters Naraku keeps sending." He sighed.

"Inu Yasha! It's me, can't you even tell that?"

"I can't do anything! Not since you left! I've lost everything, but what do you care, shape shifter."

"That's it, you of all people should know me. If you really can't tell then here," She pushed herself up off the ground and shoved her arm under his nose, "I can prove it by my scent."

Inu Yasha hesitated. Finally he drew in deep breath with his nose. The sweet sweet smell of Lavender and chamomile hit his nose. He nearly stumbled backwards in delicious happiness.

"It really is you Kagome!" He sung.

"Of course! Now tell me what's going on, where is everyone?" She demanded.

Inu Yasha took a deep sigh before he stared into her eyes. "After you disappeared things didn't go so well for us. About six years ago Miroku….died, consumed by his wind tunnel. Sango at first just went into a depression, she'd say it was her fault it happened on a couple occasions I even found her using a dagger to slice her own skin, I guess it got rid of the pain. She eventually lost it. Now she kills any and all demons that cross her path, she thinks it will bring Miroku back."

" The worst happened to Shippou. Without you, his surrogate mother, to look up to he was corrupted. He's a follower of Naraku now. He does his dirty work and everything. And myself…. After you left Kagome I couldn't fight right, I couldn't ever think straight. Eventually Naraku took tetsiega, I'm sure he still has it the bastard. Kikyo joined in leagues with him, which is really the only reason I'm not dead. We lost everything when we lost you."

Just by the look on his face as he stared at her Kagome could tell it took so much out of him just to tell her that. He looked as though he wanted to cry, yet would not, and had not ever.

"This just can't be real Inu Yasha. I left yesterday. I don't see what could of happened." She pondered.

"Maybe the well just screwed up and it accidently brought you here. Hey! Maybe if you go back to your time then try to go through the well again you can go back and keep all of this from happening!" He said his voice filling with faint hope.

"Your right, let's go."

Inu Yasha sat down on all fours and looked at Kagome. "Well, get on." Kagome smiled and did as told. Inu Yasha leapt off the ground and soared through the air. His hair flew back as it always did. "I've missed this feeling so much. To have you no my back, hell it feels good just to know you're here." Inu Yasha said softly. A light shade of blush crossed Kagome's face. All of this was so weird.

There it was. The bone eaters well. Just as much a blessing as it was a curse. Inu Yasha landed beside the well and stared down into it. "So many times I've come to this well and stared down into it, just hoping that maybe I'd see your face staring back up at me and all of this would be a dream," He lifted his gaze and met Kagome's, "I've missed you so much." Kagome nearly fell flat on her rear. She had never heard Inu Yasha say something so….so…sweet.

"Oh Inu Yasha….You've changed so much…" She cooed.

Inu Yasha smiled softly as he stroked Kagome's cheek with his thumb. "Go Kagome. Go change the past to fix our future" Kagome couldn't help but notice the way his eyes lit up as he stared at her. "Our future… Yea, It will be, someday." She thought to herself. She took one last long look at Inu Yasha. She grabbed her bag and leapt into the well. Something was wrong though. The warm consuming glow didn't come. The beautiful space like scenery didn't fade into view. It all stayed the same. Quickly she realized she was in for a hard landing. She threw her pack down below her. Seconds later she landed on top of it with an "Oof." Kagome rubbed her rear and looked up to see a confused, disappointed Inu Yasha. She sighed softly and threw up her pack. Inu Yasha caught it and set it beside the well. He reached back in to take Kagome's hand and pull her out. Once she was out she dusted herself off and sighed.

"What happened?" He asked.

"Truthfully I don't know. If it didn't let you through all those times, maybe it won't let me either."

"So now what do we do?"

"I guess I'll stay here till we figure things out."

Inu Yasha opened his mouth to talk but was cut off by Kagome. "Let's discuss this all over a nice warm fire and hot dinner."

And so they set up camp. They built a warm fire, using one of Kagome's matches. She dug through her bag searching for the one thing to make Inu Yasha jump with joy. She pulled it out and held it up in front of him. A wide grin befell his face. "Is that…. RAMEN!?" He asked his eyes widening.

"Yep, one hundred percent good Ramen." She sung.

She cooked up it as fast as she could and handed it to him. Like a starved dog he wolfed it all down. She made him a second bowl and this time he ate a little slower. As he ate Kagome gave him a once over.

"Inu Yasha you are really really filthy." She pointed out.

Inu Yasha looked down at himself. He smiled an uneasy smile and laughed softly. "There aren't really any clean lakes or streams." He said. Kagome thought for a moment then stood to her feet. She grabbed her giant yellow back pack and motioned for Inu Yasha to follow her. She led him down the hill to a small mucky black pond.

"Uhh Kagome, I don't much think that I'll get clean in that, if that's what your thinking." He snorted.

Kagome set her bag down and walked to the edge of the pond. She knelt down and looked up at Inu Yasha. "You forget this…" She lightly tapped the muck with her forefinger, immediately the muck was gone and crystal clear water took it's place. "I'm a Miko, purifying touch." She sung with a grin. She walked back over to her bag and turned her back to Inu Yasha. She fiddled with her fingers as she stared at the ground. Inu Yasha chuckled softly and shook his head as he untied his cloth belt. He dropped his pants to the ground and waded into the water. Once Kagome heard the splash of water and the small yelp she turned around.

"It's cold." He said through gritted teeth. Kagome laughed softly and dug into her bag. She took out two plastic bottles. One of Shampoo and the other of Conditioner.

"What's that stuff?" He asked.

"It's to clean you." Kagome waded into the water just far enough so the water wouldn't get her skirt wet. She squeezed Shampoo into her hand and began to lather up Inu Yasha's hair. "Now this will clean your hair so it will be that pretty white again. And the other stuff will make it nice and soft." She said with a giggle. It was hard to associate Inu Yasha with "nice and soft."

"Now go under water and rinse that stuff out."

He did as told. Dunking under and shaking his hair. Once he figured he had it all out he came back up. Kagome chuckled softly at the way his hair clung tightly to his body. She blushed suddenly realizing how perfect his body was. Her face turned an even brighter red when she noticed how the water cut off just an inch away from revealing….

"Well are you?" Inu yasha asked.

"Huh?"

"Are you gonna use that stuff on my hair?" He asked again.

"Oh, uh yea." She mumbled.

As she worked the Conditioner into his hair she hear a rustle and crack of a twig in a nearby bush. Inu Yasha, hearing the sound, quickly whipped his head around to see what made the noise. Kagome, who still held onto his hair, was thrown forward into the pond. A splash and a yelp was all that was heard. She came back up shivering and screeching.

"Cold! Cold! Cold!" Inu Yasha laughed.

"This is so not funny!" She stuttered.

"Yes, it is." He said.

He picked Kagome up and walked out of the water to the shore. He set her down on her feet before diving back into the water to rinse the Conditioner out of his hair.

When the bathing was all finally over and they returned to camp Kagome sat as close to the fire as she could. She wrapped her arms around herself trying to warm up.

"Inu Yasha….I've made a decision."
"And what's that?" He said from he spot at the other side of the fire.

"I've decided to stay here with you. To stay and fight Naraku. We must make this place and time better," She stared deep into the fire as she spoke, "I'm going to make things good, for us."

Slowly she felt arms coil around her from behind. She lifted up her head and looked back. Inu Yasha pressed his own body against her back as he held her close to him.

"I'm glad. I don't want to ever lose you again…." He whispered softly.
