Last time...

She rubbed her eyes so that she didn't look like she had been crying, then climbed back up the well with minimum difficulty. She blindly made her way to her room, not noticing the concerned looks on her family's faces. She sighed sadly, then got dressed for bed. As she buried herself in her blankets, she couldn't help but wish for the firm, cool leaves of the Feudal Japan forest floor...

Notes: Hello. Its Syrup. Here is the next chapter. Sorry its taken so long. I was procrastinating on writing it...but when Ommellett threatened to kill me if I didn't write it (death by lack of Inuyasha) ....I had to get my butt in gear!

WARNING: THIS IS A SYPUP-ATIZED CHAPTER. YOU WILL SOON LEARN THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN "SYRUP-ATIZED" AND "OMMELLETT-ATIZED."

Syrup's quote of the day:

"What doesn't kill you…makes a GREAT story!"

Disclaimer: Ommellett and I do not own Inuyasha. As for the plot....laughs dryly, then turns to deadly whisper NO TOUCHY.

Chapter 3 : Real

Kagome groaned as the sunlight filtered in through her window onto her face. Even though she had slept a good 12 hours, she still felt exhausted. 'That's what I get for crying my eyes out...'

"Kagome, are you awake yet?"

She looked up, and her mother slowly opened the door, peeking in at her.

"Hai, mamma, I'm awake," Kagome said, plastering a smile on her face.

"Happy Birthday, sweetheart. My goodness--15 already..."

"Mamma, don't cry..." Kagome said with a lump in her throat, as her mother's eyes glossed over. "Mamma..."

"I'm fine-I'm fine. You need to hurry up, school starts in an hour," her mother said with a bright smile. "I'm making breakfast right now, so hurry up."

Her mother left, and Kagome quickly changed into her school uniform. 'At least I won't have to pay for so many replacement uniforms anymore' she thought dryly as she picked up her backpack and headed down to the kitchen. She quickly ate her breakfast, and as she put on her shoes to leave, she noticed Buyo rolling on the floor. 'I wonder...'

She quickly snatched up the obese cat, slinging it under her arm and dashed to the well house. Once she was inside, she chucked the cat unceremoniously into the darkness surrounding it, and immediately threw herself into the well. To her dismay, she hit the ground with a soft 'thump.'

"Stupid cat..." she muttered to herself, slowly climbing to her feet.

As she reached to start climbing the walls back up, she heard something move. Immediately on high alert, she whirled around, searching for the sound of the noise. After a moment, she heard something whispering.

"...Jewel...the Shikon Jewel...you have it..."

'Mistress Centipede...that means'

"I SENSE ITS POWER!"

A dark form shot out of the darkness, and right before it hit her, a blue glow surrounded her, and she found herself floating in time.

"Ugh...Ow....My head..."

Kagome groaned as she sat up from where she had fallen. She looked up, and her heart leapt when she saw the clear blue sky above her. She jumped to her feet, and immediately grabbed a hold of the ivy vines on the side of the well. A few minutes later, she pulled herself over the side of the well with a groan, and sat down.

Pausing to catch her breath, she looked around. 'I'm really here...I thought...' She slowly stood up and headed towards the direction in which she knew the Goshinboku tree was located. 'I wonder if Inuyasha knows what happened...'

She quickened her pace, ignoring the bushes scratching at her legs as she ran. Within a few minutes, she found herself in a strange sense of de ja vou.

Not 10 feet in front of her, stood the tree, and Inuyasha. He was pinned to the tree, with Kikyo's arrow protruding from his chest. The sunlight filtered through the trees onto his silvery head of hair. 'Okay, as corny and romantic as this sounds, he looks really-woah, don't go there, Kagome!'

She climbed up the roots to where she stood roughly at his height. She lightly shook his shoulder.

"Inuyasha? Inuyasha, wake up."

Kagome waited for a minute for him to respond, to no avail. So she tried again, shaking him a little harder.

"Inuyasha! Wake up!"

Kagome was beginning to lose patience. 'Why won't he wake up?!' She thought frustratedly as she grabbed hold of his ear, and tugged.

"INUYASHA!! Wake up, baka!"

Kagome swallowed a lump in her throat as she looked at her unresponsive friend. She gently tilted his head up, then let it go, only to have it fall back down to where it had been previously. Ignoring the tears in her eyes, she shook him hard as she could.

"Inuyasha!! Wake up now!! This isn't funny! Wake up, baka!" She frustratedly brushed away her tears. "Baka! Inuyasha, come on! You're scaring me! Just wake up and call me 'wench' already!"

She grabbed the front of his haori, shaking him slightly, before letting out a small sob and burying her face in his haori. 'Why...why won't he wake up? Did I do something wrong and he won't wake up now?'

The sound of arrows being pulled taut, then the whizzing sound of release made her freeze. Miliseconds later, several arrows embedded themselves in the tree, surrounding her and Inuyasha's forms. "Oops...forgot about this part.'

Syrup:...Like? yup, sorry thats a bit short...but If I end this chapter now, I can start the next chapter, and send it to Ommelette, who will be writing the majority of next chapter. Review if you please!
