Okay, here's chapter 2, Hope you like, I know the conclusion to my cliffie kind of sucks, but oh well. - Fu Fu

The room was work of art! Gorgeous! Large bay windows dominated the opposite wall of the circular room, art work of the feudal era, covered the circular ceiling, and beautiful mahogany doors lead off into other rooms. Absolutely breathtaking.

"How in the world! Inuyasha this place must of cost you a fortune!" Kagome said, stepping inside and admiring the art work on the ceiling.

"I told you, I know the guy who owns it, It's barely costing me a thing" Inuyasha remarked, as he walked around the couch towards one of the mahogany doors. "I'm getting a beer, you want something?"

"A glass of water would be good" Kagome said, she felt like scolding him for offering her, a minor alcohol, but decided against it.

Inuyasha disappeared as she stepped over to the bay windows, and felt the her lungs empty at the breath taking view.

Inuyasha came back in and handed her a glass, and Kagome followed him back to sit on the couch. She was taking a drink of her water when she saw Inuyasha staring at her. Back in his hanyou form.

"What?"

Inuyasha averted his eyes as he took a drag from the brown bottle in his hand. "nothing"

"Why were you staring at me?" Kagome insisted.

"What was it like? For you, when the well closed" He said, but he didn't meet her eyes.

"Awful" She replied.

"How so? I mean, tell me what's been going on the last...year" He paused when saying the last word, as if it caused him pain to say.

"You've changed" Kagome commented.

"What's that supposed to mean?" he asked angrily.

"Not so much" Inuyasha growled. Kagome giggled.

"so, you want me to tell the story? Only if, you promise to tell me yours too" Kagome bargained. Inuyasha nodded.

"Okay, the well closed. I came through, and I didn't have the shikon, I suppose you found it?" Kagome asked him, Inuyasha smirked, and lifted it out of the neck of his T-shirt, Kagome caught a glimpse of a gold chain, as he lifted the jewel off his neck, and put it in her hand. 'the locket, he still has it?'

A/N: The Locket from the second movie castle beyond the looking glass.

"Anyways, I jumped back in, thinking I had dropped it on the other side, or even in the bottom of the well, and... I hit the bottom. and I knew, I knew it was closed, but I didn't stop trying, I jumped in ten times maybe before I gave up and collapsed in the bottom of the well, I had a broken leg and a sprained wrist, and that's where Sota found me," Kagome paused slightly, and closed her eyes briefly before continuing. "three days later"

Inuyasha spit out a little of the gulp of beer he had just taken. "three days! Wench! why didn't you get out of there?" Inuyasha asked angrily.

"I'd lost you Inuyasha, I didn't want to go on" Kagome wouldn't meet his eyes.

"What happened after that?"

"The next two months were hard, no they weren't hard, they were the worst of my life, Inuyasha" Kagome leaned her head against his chest. "I barely spoke, I Only got out of bed to use the restroom, I barely ate, And I would pretend to sleep all day, and then stay up all night staring out the window" She tightened her grip on his hand. Inuyasha's thoughts were racing.

'She nearly killed herself for me, Because she missed all of us. She went through all that because she thought she'd never see any of us again.'

"And then, it started to get better, one day I just woke up, and thought, I can do this! I can beat this,"

Actually what she had thought that morning was. 'Inuyasha wouldn't have wanted this! Get up and continue your life, for him if nothing else, you've mourned long enough, you can do this!'

so I got out of bed, Got dressed, and went downstairs and told Mom I was going to school. She was so shocked. Then, after that, I just went back to me life, before the well closed, of course, you and the rest of the gang were frequent visitors in the mind of Kagome." Kagome smiled slightly at that before tears came back to her eyes.

"What? What is it?" Inuyasha asked, unable, and unwilling to mask the concern in his voice.

"There gone aren't they?" Kagome said quietly, the tears started to flow back down her cheeks.

"Hey" Inuyasha pulled her into his arms, "Don't cry, you know I can't stand it wench" He kissed her temple.

"How'd it happen? I mean, what were there lives like?" Kagome said into his chest. She needed to know.

"The were good. Kaede went about two years after the well sealed, I was there. Then Sango went when she was around 55, Miroku 3 days later" Inuyasha tried to comfort her.

"Kids?"

"five, two perverts and three girls, the oldest girl, named Kagome, had a strange obsession with my ears, one to rival her namesake" Inuyasha smiled, as Kagome giggled slightly. She pulled back, and looked into his eyes. His mouth descended on hers in a passionate kiss.

The made out for a while, Both of them reeling in the treasure that was the other. Until Kagome stopped it when she felt Inuyasha's hands on her bare back.

"What?" Inuyasha asked.

Kagome giggled. "My mother told me to beware boys who's hands work magic, Even if that boy will soon be my mate"

Inuyasha groaned, and grabbed his beer bottle before slumping back in the couch. "Sorry"

"That's okay" Kagome giggled again. Inuyasha scowled as he drained the last of his beer. He then stood up.

"I'm gonna go get another one, be right back" He went back through the same door as before.

"So, who lives next door?" Kagome commented, as she heard him opening the fridge door.

"Oh, that's Kirara, her mate, and there pup, Heather," He was scowling again as he came back in the door, fresh beer in hand. "She also had a creepy infatuation with my ears" He directed his scowl at her as if it was somehow her fault.

"What?" She asked defensively.

"There were no kids around with ear obsessions before you came around, now, because of you, they all think it's okay"

Kagome giggled again. She couldn't seem to stop today.

Hey, this is one of those boring A/N that no one ever reads, (at least, i never do) Please don't be mad at me for giving Inuyasha beer, I just thought, from where he's been the last couple years (will be explained next couple chaps) He would drink beer. Don't know why, It's just a pic in my head. And I know Inu's a little OOC, but he's had 500 years to change, give me a break! This may be pretty long, I'm a bit of a rambler.- Fu Fu
