From the Future and Into the Past

(A/N: Just so you know, this is set back to the time where Inuyasha was left off. Not the next day where Kouga and Kaoru are. Just so there isn't any confusion)
He was hesitant to tell her how he really felt, but he knew it was now or never. He couldn't stand to see her like this. He sat next to her and his bare feet dangled in the running water.
"Kagome...I gotta tell you what's on my mind. You think I don't love you but I do. It's just that...Well, I love Kikyo too. Even if she is a zombie, I can't hide what I feel for her. But I think what makes me continue to love her is that I see you in her and she is in you. You're the same person, just with totally different personalities. I don't know if this makes it any easier on you, but I think you should know. And I'm really, really sorry for that sight you had to see just now. I didn't plan it, honestly. She just started... undressing and well, lust overtook me. And if you think that I only did it because you refused to do it, that isn't true. I understand if you're still mad. I'm going to take a bath and try to wash the guilt off of me."
He got up and waited for any kind of reaction. None. Nothing. Zip. Nada. You get it. He didn't wait for one either, he just walked.
When he got to the spring, Miroku was already there. He looked over at him while he sat down in the steaming water next to him. "I heard what happened...It's a pity."
"How did...?!"
"What can I say, things spread fast in a small village."
"I don't know what to say to Kagome. I spilled my heart out to her. I told her what was really on my mind and she had no reaction what-so-ever. What the hell am I supposed to do?!"
"Hmm...Well, whenever I have sex with another woman and some one that I deeply care for, like Sango, finds out, I just say that I was picturing them instead of the person with whom I was actually having intercourse with."
Inuyasha just gave him a blank stare. "That will not work. That sounds like shit."
"Maybe you should just wait then. Don't bother her, because that will just make her despise you more. And talk to her fairly often, but not conversations. She'll let you know when she wants to converse."
"I'll try it monk, but if it doesn't work, then you're in for it."
"Do you even know who you're talking to? I'm the king of flirting and fixing relationships!"
"I'm heading back to camp. Taking a bath was pretty much just an excuse to get away from the awkward situation."
The men got out of the spring and put thier clothes back on, then headed back.
They got close to the camp, but Inuyasha held Miroku back and told him to shush. He wanted to hear Kagome and Sango's conversation, or what was left of it.
"Sango-chan I just don't know what to do! He told me everything that was going on in his head, and I appreciate his honesty. But it didn't really make me feel any better. Plus, what he did was horrible!"
"Kagome... I've experienced that a few times before, so I know what you're feeling. But he told you all that, so I think he trusts you. I would let him suffer some, then forgive him in a day or two."
Kagome blew her nose. "Yeah. I want to forgive him, but I'll wait a while."
They sat in silence and Inuyasha thought it would be the perfect time to walk in, casually. He signaled for Miroku to come with him and the strolled through the camp sit and sat on the ground across from Kagome and Sango.
"So, Lady Kagome, what's for dinner?" asked a curious and hungry Miroku.
"No ramen. I don't feel like making anything. I think Sango should make dinner."
While Sango started to prepare some stew for them, Inuyasha's jaw dropped. No ramen?! She must be really pissed!!
While Inuyasha sulked, Miroku had some of his own thoughts going around in his head. 'Since Kagome is feeling down in the dumps, it's the perfect time to take advantage of her...heh heh...Let's just see how depressed she really is'
He saw perfect opportunity number one. "Lady Kagome could you get me the... Well, nevermind, I'll get it myself." He got up and bent over behind Kagome and then touched her ass. She squeeked and shot him a dirty look. "What?! I was only reaching for this pepper! My hand slipped!" She looked away and fell for it.
Once dinner time came, he sat beside her and once again, reached for this "pepper". He side swiped her boobs and she practically growled at him. (A/N: Swiper no swiping! LOL! It's just like Kyle and Sinubi!) This time he got slapped.
Silence. Dead silence. Both Inuyasha and Kagome were picking and playing with their food and Sango and Miroku were done. Inuyasha and Kagome seemed so lost in thought, that they were tuning everything out.
Sango wanted to see just how lost in thought they were. "Well, I hope you guys don't mind if Miroku and I have a make-out session right here and now."
Nothing. No response. No strange glances. Except from Miroku, who was dumbfounded, but happy. Sango crawled over to Miroku and gave him a fiery kiss. They were on the ground, even. Still, Inuyasha and Kagome were just...dead.
(A/N: Man this chapter really isn't going well. It sucks. Grrrr... Ow! OWW! Foot cramp!! YEEOUCH! Ok... all better. Oh well. This is just a sucky chapter then... Deal with it.)
A few hours passed, but it felt like an agonizing few days to everyone. A darkened sky hung over them. Inuyasha was up in a tree close by and Kagome had her sleeping bag rolled out. Sango and Miroku however were sleeping in the same futon, trying to get some one's attention.
Inuyasha sat in frustration. His hands covered his face and they caught the few tears that slipped out. He really screwed up.
He didn't know it, but Kagome kept one eye open and was watching him. She was far away, but when he lifted his head and the moonlight shone over it, she could see the tears slowly falling down his cheeks. He was torn.
She couldn't bare to look anymore. It made her more depressed. She closed her eyes and desperatly tried to fall alseep. She would forgive him tomorrow.
The next morning, she was barely asleep, but she got enough rest. She still played dead because it was really early, and she didn't feel like getting up. Her heart skipped a beat. She heard soft footsteps comming towards her.

Kaoru's house

Kouga's eyes snapped open when he felt something heavy fall on his stomach. He jumped up and glanced at it, only to find his armor and old clothes. He did not want to put those clothes back on. The ones he had on now were way too comfortable.
"Wake up! We need to go back!" Kaoru said. She was already dressed. She wore a red and black tank top with buckles on the straps and one side was longer than the other. She also wore a long black skirt that covered her feet and had two huge belts hanging off her hips.
"Give me a few more--"
"No! Come on! Get dressed and then meet me by the well! We need to go back so we can kick Naraku's ass, right?"
"Fine," he said and grabbed his armor, then headed up the steps while she started out the front door.
He met her in the dingy mini-shrine where the well was located, and he was shaking again. "I'm scared! This is too freaky!"
"Don't be a baby!" she grasped his hand to give him a little more confidence.
They jumped in the dark, cold well that seemed to have no bottom.

Kouga was eager to get out of that well. He grabbed Kaoru and carried her while he jumped out. It would take to long to climb up those vines.
He didn't put her down either. He just ran and ran and ran until he got to his mountain. He finally set her down.
All of a sudden, Ginta appeared. He seemed really nervous and sad.
"Kouga... Naraku slaughtered all of the wolves while you were gone. We buried the bodies and luckily we have a few pups still alive."
"He WHAT?!"
"Kami-sama! He must've done that because we left! I'm so sorry..." she embraced him.
"I'm going to kill him..."
"Oh are you?" asked a voice from behind them. It was Kagura. She was riding her feather so she would be at the same level as them.
"Kagura..." Kouga and Kaoru said in unison.
"It's time to end this little game. Kaoru, you're one of us, so you need to obey your creator! You need to come with us and help Naraku!"
"He isn't my creator! I am not one of you!! I'll never be!" she screamed.
"You want to play it the hard way, eh? Fine with me. I like to see a little gore every once and a while." she laughed.
"Ginta! Get Inuyasha and Kagome! Quickly!" yelled Kouga. Ginta started off and ran as fast as he possibly could.
"Fuujin no Bai!" Kagura announced and flicked her fan, making blades of wind come towards them.

A/N: Wow. This chapter is kinda boring, to me. I did not know what to write. Ooh... Chapter 16 is the beginning of the end... MUAHAHAHA! Sorry to say, that I thought about it, and there will be no sequel... I have no ideas for it. Once this is all over, if you come up with an idea for a sequel or just anything at all, tell me and I'll try and write it. Well, I have nothing more to say. It's 8:30 on September 22nd and I can't breathe through my nose. I think I'll go take a shower.
