I'll never let you go…

Chapter One: I want to see you again

"I never want to see you again, you animal!"

Kagome's words were still ringing in Inuyasha's head. 'How could she say that?' Inuyasha asked himself. He didn't mean to upset her so badly. Hell, he didn't even know what made her so mad! High up in a tree, away from the others sat Inuyasha. Growling, Inuyasha looked down at the well with contempt. 'Feh! I don't care! Kagome's only a pest anyway.' Two weeks had passed since Kagome left the feudal era. Each day, Inuyasha waited at the well, to see if Kagome would return to apologize. Even if he wouldn't admit it even to himself, Inuyasha missed Kagome more and more each day. Not to mention, Shippo was always nagging Inuyasha to go to Kagome's time to bring her back. Like he would ever do that! Inuyasha closed his eyes and listened to the world to take his mind off Kagome. 'The air smells so plain without Kagome's scent around… Stop! Who cares about Kagome? Sheesh!' Inuyasha's ear twitched as he heard something far away. He perked his ears up to hear it better. It sounded like Miroku was talking to Sango and Shippo.

"… I have an idea… … tonight, the well… Inuyasha…" Inuyasha couldn't hear it all because Miroku was so far away and was whispering.

Not liking the sounds of this, Inuyasha leaped down from the tree and went in the direction that Miroku's voice had been. When he got there, Miroku and the others were gone. Sniffing out their scent, he found everyone at the camp they had made. Sango was tending to Kirara and also making dinner. Shippo was snacking on some food, while the dinner cooked. But Miroku was nowhere to be seen.

"Where's Miroku?" Inuyasha asked Sango while sitting next to the fire.

"He left a little while ago to see Kaede." Sango replied without looking up at Inuyasha.

"What does he want with that witch?" Inuyasha inquired, pretending to not have any real interest in the subject. Sango didn't respond but just shrugged. A few minutes later, Miroku appeared in the campsite, looking pleased. "What are you so happy about? And where have you been?" Inuyasha scolded Miroku.

"That's really none of your business, but for your information, I was preparing some scrolls with Kaede." Miroku responded simply.

"Scrolls? What for?" Inuyasha was getting suspicious at this information.

Miroku didn't answer at first. "They are for an exorcism I will be doing later this evening."

For a long time, Inuyasha didn't take his eyes off of Miroku. He could almost smell the deception in the air. Slightly uneasy, Inuyasha didn't pursue it any further, but decided not to drop his guard. It was beginning to get late. Sango served dinner, everyone was happy to get some food but Inuyasha refused his share. After dinner, Shippo went to bed and Sango too. Miroku however, left the camp and went back in the direction of the village. Most likely to the exorcism he talked about before, Inuyasha assumed. Inuyasha sat with his arms crossed, alert for any disturbance. Unintentionally, his thoughts drifted back to Kagome. 'What is she doing now?' He looked up at the sky and the stars were beginning to appear slowly. 'She's probably in bed. Or maybe she's looking at these stars too… I wonder if she's thinking of me…' Inuyasha growled at his own foolishness. 'Kagome probably doesn't care about me anymore.' While Inuyasha was deep in thought, Kirara stared at him innocently. Inuyasha glanced over at Kirara and sighed. Getting to his feet, Inuyasha left the camp and disappeared from Kirara's view. Kirara got up from her comfortable curled position and left in the direction that Miroku had gone.

The well was the same as when Inuyasha left it earlier that day. No sign of Kagome. Inuyasha sighed again. 'Of course she wouldn't have come back. Why do I always come here everyday? She's never coming back!' He approached the well and looked into it. Nothing was in it but a few scattered bones. 'If only she would come back.' Inuyasha thought. A bush rustled behind Inuyasha and he spun around. Nothing was there. He relaxed and felt ashamed of himself being so jumpy. A scroll was thrown out of the bush and stuck to Inuyasha's forehead.

"What the hell?!" Inuyasha tried to attack but he realized he couldn't move. The scroll on his forehead was paralyzing him. Out of the bushes came Miroku along with Sango, Shippo, and Kirara. "Miroku you back stabbing bastard! What are you doing?!"

"I'm going to knock some sense into you." Miroku answered.

"You've been a real jerk to Kagome and we all miss her!" Shippo complained.

"And since neither of you appeared to want to apologize to the other. We decided to come up with a plan to get you to back together." Sango stated solemnly.

"'Get us back together'?! How can we be forced back together if we were never even together in the first place?" Inuyasha demanded.

"Always jumping to conclusions, aren't you Inuyasha? Even though it would probably be a good idea to make you two a couple, that's not what we had in mind." Miroku said thoughtfully. Inuyasha blushed and looked away from the others. "Now that I've got your attention," Miroku continued, "I want to see if this new scroll can be put to good use." Miroku pulled out another scroll; the one he said was for an exorcism.

Cautiously and making sure that Inuyasha couldn't move, Miroku approached him from behind and put the scroll behind Inuyasha's neck.

At first, the scroll tickled Inuyasha's neck, and then it burned red hot. "What are you doing?!" Inuyasha yelled.

"This is a special scroll. It sucks the demonic powers out of any demon. Of course, I didn't know how to do it, but Kaede was a big help with it." Miroku explained.

"Why you-!" But before Inuyasha could say another word, his claws shrank to normal human nails. His fangs shrank into normal teeth; the ears on top of his head disappeared and formed into human ears. Black hair replaced the white hair and then Inuyasha was completely human. "Gack! Change me back Miroku!"

"Sorry, but no can do. Not until you apologize to Kagome." Miroku paused as Inuyasha struggled to try and take the scroll off. "Don't bother, only Kagome can take it off." Miroku grabbed the scroll on Inuyasha's forehead to free him from the paralysis, before Inuyasha could punch Miroku, Miroku pushed him into the well and he fell into Kagome's time. "And don't come back until you've apologized to Kagome!" Miroku called down the well.

"Um… Miroku, I don't think he can hear you." Shippo said peering down through the well.
