June 15, 1999

Inuyasha was in his depressed state again. There was this empty void inside him that he couldn't erase. It was a recurring pain that never seemed to end. He felt lonely. Whenever he sees Keiichiro and Sango together, it disturbs him. He couldn't figure out what it was but he kept finding something wrong with the picture. Then a knock came on his door. "Come in," he said, without bothering to see who it was.

I entered Inuyasha's room holding a tray of food. The few days when he was in his isolated stage, he didn't eat much anymore. I was beginning to worry. I didn't have much time left with him so I wanted to take care of him the best I could with the time I still had left. "Kyo? Are you hungry? I brought you some food."

Inuyasha turned around to see who it was. It was Keiichiro. "Just put it down." Keiichiro placed it down before Inuyasha. Chicken ramen, beef ramen, potato chips, and pickled radish. 'How does he know I like these food?' Inuyasha thought. "Take it away I don't want it."

"But Kyo, you haven't eaten for days. Please eat a little bit."

"I said take it away!" Inuyasha yelled, his anger exploding. He knocked over the tray of food. It ended up spilling all over Keiichiro. Inuyasha and Keiichiro stared at each other. Neither of them knew what to say. Keiichiro leaned over to clean up the spilled food and then left. Inuyasha fell back in his chair. He ran his hands through his hair frustrated. Keiichiro was too much like Kagome and that was driving him crazy. Inuyasha knew he was out of line though, so he began to walk to Keiichiro's room to apologize.


What a mess, I thought as I stripped out of my clothes. I soaked myself into a hot water bath, hoping it could wash away all my troubles. When I was done with my bath, I wrapped myself up in a towel and got out of the tub. Then I heard my room door open and then close. Must be Sango, I thought as I began to put my clothes on.


Inuyasha entered Keiichiro's room, not knowing what to say. He wasn't good at apologizing. He looked around and didn't see Keiichiro anywhere. Then he heard the sound of water draining. He figured Keiichiro must be in the bathroom. Inuyasha opened the door slightly and saw Keiichiro's bare back. He shuts the door quietly and began to leave. He planned to apologize later but then his mind began to sort out what he had just seen. Keiichiro's back had a 'T' on it. Inuyasha breaks open the door to the bathroom.

I was buttoning up my long sleeve shirt when my door suddenly opened. I stared at Inuyasha in shock but then remembered I wasn't completely dressed yet. I buttoned up the remaining buttons and then faced him. "Kyo!" I said surprised. "What are you doing here?" I caught Inuyasha looking down at my shirt. I had buttoned it all wrong and a great deal of my body was showing. Oh hell, I thought. "Kyo, I can explain-" I began to tell him but I never had a chance to.

Inuyasha stared at Keiichiro's exposed body. Without thinking, he ripped open Keiichiro's shirt finding that Keiichiro was indeed a woman. Keiichiro stood still, stunned at what Inuyasha had just done. He turned Keiichiro's back to him. There it was. His 'T.' "Ka...Kagome?" he asked uncertainly, afraid to hope.

I didn't know what I was more embarrassed from. Letting Inuyasha see me exposed or being caught. In all my life I had never been angry at Inuyasha but I didn't know why I reacted impulsively. As I held my shirt together, I slapped Inuyasha across the face hard with my other hand. His head snapped to the side. He held his cheeks as he turned to face me. "How could you do this to me Inuyasha?" I asked him screaming. "Get out! Get out!" I started to push him out the door.

Inuyasha was in shock. Kagome, he thought. He grabbed her arms as she pushed him out. "Kagome, don't! Is it really you?"

I glared at him. As if he knew, Inuyasha took off his jacket and puts it around my shoulders. I zipped it up, covering myself. "Yes Inuyasha, it is me Kagome."

"But I thought you were dead."

"I didn't die. I faked my death."

"Why?"

"So I could come to Korea."

"You came all the way from Japan to find me? Why didn't you just tell me who you are?"

Inuyasha looked at Kagome, who had tears coming out of her eyes. He was about to brush them off for her but then Kagome pushed his hand away. "That's the only way I could do to be with you. Join TBG." Inuyasha stared at Kagome as she continued talking. "After you left me all alone in Japan, my life became so miserable. Not because of my step dad, but because of you. I finally found a way to leave Japan to find you. I was so happy when I thought about how I could see you again. I thought—"

Inuyasha began to feel a rush of mixed emotions. Kagome's words made him sad but seeing her alive in front of him, made him want to hold onto her and never let her go. He paused to let her continue. "—I thought that we could be together like we were….brother and sister in Japan. But obviously, I was wrong. You had all those girls around you that you've completely forgotten about me."

Inuyasha felt his heart shatter into a million pieces. Each one of Kagome's words stabbed him like a knife. "Kagome, you don't understand. I—" Kagome didn't wait for his explanation and ran. Inuyasha chased after her.

"Kagome!" he yelled as he chased her out of the hotel.

"Kyo," said Hojo as he saw Inuyasha ran by him. Inuyasha pushed him out of the way.

Sango ran up the five TBG members. "What happened?"

Hojo shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know. Inuyasha was chasing Keiichiro and kept screaming Kagome."

Sango stumbled back and Miroku caught her. 'Oh no, poor Kagome,' she thought. She turned around to see Miroku looking at her sadly. Sango moved close to him and held onto him tight. Neither one of them lets go.
