Inuyasha woke up with a jolt just as the sun started to rise. "Only a dream..." Inuyasha said to himself. Kikyo had come to him blaming Inuyasha for her death again. 'It wasn't my fault' Inuyasha thought trying to reassure himself of that.
He took his mind off the dream when he heard stirring underneath him, it must have been Kagome because he could still hear Kaede's even breathing in the hut. He jumped off the roof and went into the hut. He was right it was Kagome who was awake she was sitting over by the pit trying to build a fire, fall was near so it was getting colder in the mornings. "So your awake..." Inuyasha finally said accidentally startling Kagome.
"Yea" she responded still trying to build the fire. Her head was in some pain but thanks to the aspirin she had brought in her bag it wasn't very bad.
Inuyasha came over to her side and helped her with the fire. It was silent for awhile because Inuyasha was still feeling a little guilty and Kagome just couldn't think of anything to say. Finally Kagome broke the ice by saying "It all feels like a dream..."
"Huh?" Inuyasha replied. He had basically forgotten what had happened the night before since he was worrying about Kagome.
"Naraku" she said "he's finally dead."
"Yea" was all that he could say. He was still replaying in his mind when Kagome was slammed up against the tree.
"What's wrong Inuyasha?" Kagome said seeing the worried look on his face.
"Nothing it's just that...." Inuyasha said "I'm sorry."
This confused Kagome to no end. 'What's he talking about?' Kagome asked herself 'he didn't do anything.' "Ummmm....sorry for what?" she finally said out loud.
"For not paying attention and you getting hurt because of it" he said looking at her head.
"But it's not your fault" Kagome said "I was just in the wrong place at the wrong time."
Inuyasha's expression didn't change he still felt responsible for Kagome getting hurt. It was a miracle that she didn't have a concussion from the accident. "But...." Inuyasha started and was stopped by Kagome putting her hand over his mouth, she then pointed at Kaede who was starting to stir. Inuyasha got the point and both him and Kagome went outside to find somewhere that they could talk, that somewhere ended up to be under the Sacred Tree.
Inuyasha started to open his mouth to finish what he was going to say when he was interrupted by Kagome. "I don't want to hear it you are not responsible for what happened" she said commandingly "You had to pay attention to what Naraku was doing, not to me."
"Kagome..." Inuyasha said under his breath, she didn't even hear it. He wanted to just lean in and kiss her, but couldn't. He didn't know how she felt towards him. Were the feelings that he was having for Kagome lately love? If they were then he didn't love Kikyo, those feelings were probably something else. She was the first woman to ever care for him after his mother had died, so maybe that's why he thought that he loved her. Kikyo was so cold after Urasue had brought her back and Inuyasha just started to let his feelings for her slip away. Inuyasha wanted to shake out of his thoughts and just in time Kagome said something.
"So now what?" she asked.
"What do you mean?" Inuyasha replied.
"Everything's finished" Kagome explained "Naraku is dead and the Shikon jewel is complete, so what's left?"
Inuyasha also didn't realize this, Kagome had made a point that he didn't think about until now. What was going to happen?
"Do you still want me around?" Kagome said after a couple minutes of silence.
Inuyasha was caught off guard but finally said "what kind of question is that? Of course I still want you around."
"Okay" Kagome replied "I just wanted to make sure."
"Why would you think that I didn't want you around?" Inuyasha asked.
"I don't know" she said "it's just that I had a feeling that you have no more use for me."
"You know that's not true" Inuyasha replied.
"Well I'm going back to my time for a little while" Kagome said "I don't know how long."
"Fine then!!!" Inuyasha yelled "Leave us here!!"
"Don't even start that Inuyasha!" Kagome yelled back at him "You know there's things in my time that I have to take care of!"
"No you're just going to go back and forget that we ever existed!" Inuyasha said turning his back.
"You know that would never happen!" Kagome said "I'm not going to take this I'm leaving!" After this Kagome stomped off towards the village where she already had her stuff packed and ready to go. Inuyasha just stayed there under the Sacred Tree.
"Damn it!!!" Inuyasha cursed at himself "Now look what you did you chased her off!!" He swiped at the air and decided that he should let her go back for awhile. She needed to be with her family and friends in her time. This would give them both their time alone.
Inuyasha decided not to go back to the village he just stayed there under the sacred tree. Night was falling once again, it had just seemed like there were only a couple of hours in that day. Kagome had left an hour or so after she left the clearing, her scent still lingered though. Inuyasha already missed her but he would have to deal, after all since Naraku was dead and the Shikon jewel was complete there was no reason for her to stick around in his time anymore. Inuyasha didn't want her gone though, he loved her and now that he realized it everything was over. He wanted to tell her how much he loved her but there was one problem, what if she didn't feel the same way about him.
