It was the day after Kagome was buried and everyone noticed Inuyasha was acting strangely. He had been spending most of his time by the sacred tree, crying. Shippo walked up to him. "Inuyasha, I know you're upset that Kagome's dead, but you have to move on." Shippo said. "It's not only that you little runt!" Inuyasha hollered. "What else is there?" Shippo asked. Inuyasha sighed. "Kagome…Kagome's family doesn't know she died. I'm the only one who could tell them." Inuyasha said and started crying even harder. This made Shippo cry too.
"Damn that Naraku! I'm glad he's dead!" Shippo sobbed. Everyone stared at him. Inuyasha hit him hard in the head. "Hey! What was that for?!" Shippo demanded. "You're too young to curse, Shippo." Miroku stated. Shippo ran away, crying. Inuyasha stood up. "I'm going to tell Kagome's family about what happened." He said, and walked toward the well. 'At least I know she loved me.' Inuyasha thought as tears ran down his cheeks. "At least I know how she felt. I just wish she knew how I felt." He said to himself.
Kagome's spirit was walking right next to him. She gave him a kiss on the cheek even though she knew he wouldn't feel it. "I'll always be with you, Inuyasha. I'll never leave your side. I promise." Kagome whispered. Inuyasha stopped and looked around. "Is…is someone following me?!" He shouted. When he heard no answer he decided to keep walking. "Must have been a fly or something." He mumbled. 'Did he hear me?' Kagome thought. "Inuyasha." Kagome said. When he didn't stop, she knew he didn't hear her. "I love you." Kagome whispered.
They got to the well. Inuyasha jumped in and Kagome quickly followed. He climbed out of the well and slowly walked to Kagome's house. When he got to the door he knocked and Ms. Higurashi answered. "Hello Inuyasha!" She said cheerfully. "Where's Kagome? She's not hurt, is she?" She asked, worried. Inuyasha didn't say anything and walked inside. Kagome followed before her mom shut the door. "Get the old man and Sota." Inuyasha demanded and sat on the couch. Kagome sat next to him and laid her head on his shoulder. "I wonder how they'll take it." Kagome said. Inuyasha jumped. "Ka…Kagome? I…I must be hearing things." He said. Kagome then realized how she might be able to get through to him. 'I'm touching him! That's how he can hear me!' She thought, happily. "Inuyasha, don't be alarmed. This is really Kagome. I want to let you know I'll always be with you, no matter what." She insured. Inuyasha could only make out the words, I'm, Kagome, and I'll always be with you.
He smiled. "Her dying words to me. I know her spirit is watching me." Inuyasha stated and started to cry. Just then, Ms. Higurashi, Sota, and Kagome's grandpa walked in the room and saw him crying. "What's wrong Inuyasha?" Sota asked and walked up to him. Ms. Higurashi started crying. " You're not going to tell us what I think you're going to tell us, are you?" Ms. Higurashi asked. "And what do you think I'm gonna tell you?" Inuyasha questioned. "Kagome's dead!" Ms. Higurashi sobbed. "What have you done to my granddaughter?!" Kagome's grandpa screamed and swung at him with a cane. "It wasn't me! It was that bastered Naraku! She was poisoned and lost too much blood!" Inuyasha explained. Sota started crying and tugged on Inuyasha's sleeve. "I want to show you something." Sota said and dragged Inuyasha into Kagome's room.
When they got there sota pulled out a pink book from under Kagome's bed. "Do ya know how to read?" Sota asked. "Of course I do squirt." Inuyasha stated. "Then keep this. It's Kagome's diary." Sota said, handing him the pink book. "Why are you givin' this to me?" Inuyasha asked. "Just read it." Sota said and left. Inuyasha sat on the floor and started flipping through the pages. He stopped on one and smiled at what it said.

Dear diary. Today in the feudal era was hilarious! Miroku thought he saw a squirrel with a piece of the sacred jewel so he went crazy looking for it! I kept telling him if it had a shard of the jewel , I'd know. He didn't listen though. He kept making a fool of himself by running around and chasing every squirrel he saw! He tripped over a rock and hit his head on a tree. He got knocked out and we had to carry him to Kaede's so she could give him some medicine to help him wake up quicker. Sango kept begging her to leave him the way he was so he'd stop groping her. Inuyasha was being unusually nice, too. He let me come back to my time without a fight. I'll tell you more next time!
At the bottom was a heart with Inuyasha's name in it. He closed the book and stood up. "That day was fun. It was about three months ago but it feels like only yesterday." He walked down the stairs, out the door, and to the well. "Those were very good times."
"Damn that Naraku! I'm glad he's dead!" Shippo sobbed. Everyone stared at him. Inuyasha hit him hard in the head. "Hey! What was that for?!" Shippo demanded. "You're too young to curse, Shippo."
