A/N: Wow! Thanks for the reviews guys! I"m so totally happy, and you know
that a happy writer writes more! So here you are. Remember that I don't
own Inu Yasha, or There is by Boxcar Racer (Maybe this chapter!) Also, I
haven't seen any episodes containing Sango, so I don't know if she's OOC.
So sorry ahead of time!
Last time --
Just as he began to leave his vigil at the well a small fluttering noise was heard by his sensitive ears at the bottom of the well. He leapt into the air, careful not to breech the portal, he fell into the well. At the bottom he leaned to pick up the parchment that lied at the bottom.
"Oi, Sango, I think it's a letter!"
--Continuance---
Inu Yasha bounced up the sides of the wall, wondering, what the paper meant. At the top he turned it over, reading the characters slowly, realizing the letter was addressed to him. Stunned he thought of whom could write his name, and more importantly, who would want to? Sango snatched the letter from Inu Yasha.
"I'm sure it isn't for you, after all this is Kagome's well, and well, why would she write you?" Sango opened the letter excitedly. Her face drained of color, and excitement. "it's for you." Inu Yasha snorted.
"Thanks little miss obvious." He tried to hide his excitement. Sango was right, this was Kagome's well, could she possibly be the one who was writing to him? Inu Yasha thought of when she left.
___flashback____
Kagome slammed her bike into the well. She was done collecting the shards, and done taking insults from Inu Yasha. So often he had fooled her into believe he felt something, it always turned out to be a lie. Kagome was so tired of the emotional roller coaster the dog demon sent her on. She sat on the edge of the well, readying herself to fall. "Good Bye Sango, Shippo, and Miroku! You mean so much to me." She spoke into the cold night air.
"What about me?" A cold voice sent shivers up and down Kagome's spine. Her heart began to race, she had hoped to escape without Inu Yasha seeing her. She knew that if she saw his face, it would kill her inside to leave. Carefully she slid off of the lip of the well.
"You?" Kagome paused warily walking towards the tree he was perched in. "You.... I could never say good bye to you Inu Yasha." He fell from the tree with agility. He could smell her, she was scared. Still all the same he could smell strawberries. Gently he brushed a stray stand of hair away from her face, causing both of their hearts to beat faster.
"Why? Why do you have to go?" He asked innocently. Kagome couldn't look into his honey colored eyes, not to see the indifference he felt for her. She was only a jewel shard finding tool, and had now lost all use.
"Because my life here, it's done." She gently brushed her hand across his face, leaned in and kissed his lips. Inu Yasha stood stunned, and upon waking from his reverie to see her sitting on the well again. "Mostly because," She paused. "Because you can never love me the way I love you." And with those words fell back into the well, leaving Inu Yasha at the edge of the well confused as to what she meant.
_____End Flashback_____
'No,' Inu Yasha thought, 'it must be someone else writing to me, after leaving like that, she must not be coming back.' His heart sank at the thought. He could never tell her, the way he felt. He could never allow her to feel the hate and scorn directed towards a hanyou's mate.

Kagome was pleased to see that the letter had been sent through the portal. She didn't care how, or why, but maybe Inu Yasha could find it. Kagome laughed. 'He probably doesn't even remember who I am. . .' She slapped her forehead in frustration.
"I FORGOT TO SIGN THE LETTER!" He could think anyone had sent it, from Sesshomaru to Kouga. She paced her room in frustration, trying to think of how to fix it. Out of ideas, and tired, Kagome turned on the radio to listen to something that would manage her anger. The CD player began to studder, beep, then finally play. As the song began to play she realized that Souta had been playing CDs in her room again. Before she could get mad the man began to croon.
*this vacation's useless
these white pills aren't kind
I've given a lot of thought on this 13-hour drive
I missed the grinding concrete where we sat past 8 or 9
and slowly finished laughing in the glow of our headlights
I've given a lot of thought to the nights we use to have
the days have come and gone
our lives when by so fast
I faintly remember breathing on your bedroom floor
where I laid and told you but you swear you loved me more*
Angry, Kagome turned the song off. She had only one romantic memory of Inu Yasha; the day she left. She fondly remembered her lips on his, longing to stay, but knowing she couldn't. She could never torture herself by staying there and never being able to be with him. She leaned back onto her bed, thinking of him, continuing the song.
*do you care if I don't know what to say
will you sleep tonight, or will you think of me
will I shake this off, pretend its all okay
that there's someone out there who feels just like me
there is*
