Ok… well, this is my very first fanfic! I'm sorry that I'm so lame but I'm just excited! Go easy on me since this is my first time. I've been working up the guts to post it and here it is, in the flesh…. Well not really but you know what I mean! I would introduce myself but, you can go ahead and read my profile! So on with the story! WAIT! Sorry but I have to say one last thing! I'll start every chapter with a quote either of my own, one that I've read, or anything else that I feel like!

Quote: Why is it when we're happy… we smile? Why is it when we're sad… we frown? Why is it when we're scared… we shake? Why does our heart beat when we see that one particular person that we cannot stop thinking about? Why do we feel all these emotions? Why do we love…?

Sadly…I do not own Inuyasha! Tearz

Chapter 1: Confusion

"Wow", Kagome Hagurashi thought, "I can't believe it's been two years since I've found this place, and everyday, it seems like we encounter on something totally new".

It was a bright sunny day outside, there wasn't a cloud in the sky and the weather was perfect, but Kagome didn't feel in such an o-so perfect mood. Actually, she was feeling quite sad.

It had been a week since they've defeated Naraku and got the last of the jewel shards, or so they thought. It hadn't been until yesterday that Kagome realized that there was one more out there. Inuyasha was angry when he heard this news because he thought that he could finally become a full demon, but Kagome on the other hand was relieved that she would have a little bit longer to spend time with her friends.

Now they were on the trail back to Kaede's village for some well needed rest. Even though Miroku's wind tunnel had banished and Sango's brother had been released from Naraku's grasp, the two decided to stick with Kagome, Inuyasha and Shippo to find the last one.

Kagome looked to her left. "Sango…Miroku…I wonder how long it'll be till Sango confesses her love for Miroku. Since the beginning when they've first met, that lecherous monk has been all over her, and even though her feelings are in denial and despite the fact she slaps him all the time…sooner or later her love will be confessed."

Then she looked down "Shippo and Kirara, they are so sweet and innocent but when need be they are brave and courageous. Both of them will always have a special place in my heart"

Kagome just couldn't get through her head why she was so depressed. All she ever wanted was to live a normal life right? Of course she cared for all of her beloved friends and didn't want to let them go, but she was always ready to accept the fact that one day will come when she has to leave for good but one thing that she didn't realize is with every passing day, she had begun to love her friends ever more but feel the sadness of that she was one day closer to going back to her normal life.

Then Kagome sighed and looked to her right "When I leave, what will I do without you? You're one of the best friends that I have ever had…Inuyasha…"

Inuyasha caught Kagome staring at him "What are you looking at!" He glared at her out of the side of his eye and his arms were crossed. Kagome just sat there for a moment unaware of Inuyasha yelling at her. He turned all the way around and yelled even louder, "What the hell are you looking at!" Then she snapped out of her thoughts and suddenly started blushing "Oh, it's nothing, just thinking…"

"Whatever"

Inuyasha turned away "Why was she blushing?"

Sango saw this awkward silence and decided to start a conversation, "So, Kagome, where do you think the last jewel shard is? Kagome stared down at the bottle around her neck and saw the tiny pieces of the sacred jewel and without looking up she replied "I hate to say this, but, I'm not really sure…"

Inuyasha turned around suddenly enraged, "How and the hell are you not sure! You just said yesterday you know where it is!"

"Well, before, I could sense any jewel even when Naraku was alive but now, I feel it, but I don't know the exact position of where it is…and for some reason…this jewel shard, feels different from all the rest."

No one knew what she meant but Miroku was the first to reply, "How?"

"Well…It seems like this shard is good… but is being covered up by a cloud of evil and every time I try to feel it, the evil gets stronger and suddenly…"

She paused for a moment, worrying about everyone's reaction, especially Inuyasha's.

"Well…!" Inuyasha said in an irritated voice.

"…the feeling disappears all together"

Despite that everyone was in shock by what Kagome had just said, Inuyasha didn't seem to quite believe her explanation.

"Feh! You're just trying to make excuses! The only reason why you're saying this is because you have no idea where it is and you don't want to admit that it's you and not the shard!"

Usually, Kagome could come back with a retort to Inuyasha's rude comments but this time, she couldn't. Actually the thought that Inuyasha was accusing her of this made her sad.

"Inuyasha? Do you want to become a full demon that bad that you're willing to give up the little time we… all of us have together?" Kagome said with her eyes almost filling up with tears.

"What are you talking about Kagome, you're the one always complaining about you wanting a good "education" and wanting to spend time "hanging out" with your friends in your time! So next time you want to talk to me about what I want, think about your situation first!"

Kagome couldn't handle this anymore. The last thing she wanted to do was fight with Inuyasha. After all, it couldn't be that long until the last shard was found, could it? The only thing Kagome could think of to hide her tears was run, it didn't matter where but just to get away from all the hurt Inuyasha was giving her, so she ran.

Inuyasha had seen her tears and all he wanted to do was go and chase after her but he hesitated, "If she wants to come back she will" And once again Inuyasha's ego took over.

After about 20 minutes of running and walking, Kagome reached the well which would take her back to her own time and just stopped.

Kagome eyes were blood-shot from all the crying that she had been doing. She couldn't take it anymore. She fell to her knees and looked at her surroundings. Lush green trees, beautiful flowers and fresh clean air were all she could see.

"How can I live without this? I know I still have time but…"

Kagome wiped her eyes so she could see clearly.

"…the more time I spend here, the worse I'll feel when I have to leave the place I call my other home and my friends that I call my other family."

Kagome felt Inuyasha coming closer and stood up.

"If he wants me to come back, he'll come and get me" With that last thought Kagome did one last thing and said in a whisper "goodbye…" Then she let her self fall into the well.

Sango and Miroku didn't even dare to talk to Inuyahsa when he and Kagome got into an argument because they knew when Inuyasha was in a bad mood, nothing good would come out of it. But even though they have learned this being with Inuyasha for almost two years, the little fox demon hadn't and was scolding Inuyasha.

"Inuyasha, you idiot, why don't you go and get her? I know as well as you do that you don't want to fight with her and she doesn't want to fight with you!"

Miroku and Sango squinted as Inuyasha banged Shippo on the head harder than usual but didn't feel much pity for him. After all this time, they thought he should've learned. And especially since Kagome wasn't here to S-I-T Inuyasha, he could be as ruthless as he wanted.

"Inuyasha….why do you have to be so mean all the time! You're mean to me, Miroku, and even Kagome! Kagome does nothing to hurt you but you don't realize how much you hurt her! One day…" Shippo sniffled from the pain Inuyasha inflicted on him and the sadness at this thought. "One day… she won't COME back and you'll be sorry!"

What Shippo said really hit Inuyasha. "What if…one day she doesn't come back?" with that thought the only thing that Inuyasha could do was run. He and Kagome were more alike than what they knew. As he ran, he looked down at the golden locket around his neck (A/N: If you've seen movie two then you know what I'm talking about but if you didn't, Kagome had given Inuyasha a locket with both their pictures in it)

He remembered what she told him… "Inuyasha here"

"What is it?"

"It's a locket, promise you'll never take it off."

Inuyasha continued with his thoughts, "At first… I didn't want this locket…but it ended up saving my life. Maybe it's the same with Kagome; at first I didn't want her in my life…but now… I…"

He suddenly stopped thinking when he came upon the well. He knew she would go back to her time, he didn't even need to smell her scent here, and he just knew her well enough and knew exactly what she would do.

"Stupid wench! Always making everything a big deal! Why can't she just handle the fact that I want to become a full demon and get over it!"

He opened his locket and stared at her picture.

"No matter what though, when she was angry, sad or whatever, she was always with me. She was one of the few who would tolerate my anger"

He shut his locket and closed his eyes, "Kagome, what is our reason for always fighting with one another? I know that you care about me and I care about you but I was always willing to let you go but now… things are different. As the time becomes closer to when you have to leave, I feel sadder but I cover it up with fighting with you even though I know you're filled with sadness. Why do I feel this way? I know I care for you well-being but this feels like…"

He opened his eyes and suddenly Kikyo came to mind. "Kikyo…my Kikyo, all I ever wanted was you but now I'm not so sure of what I want…"

Then, he noticed something; something just lying there on the ground. Inuyasha picked it up and was feeling so many emotions at once that he didn't know what to feel exactly.

"No…" Inuyasha just stood there, "This can't be…"

(A/N: DUN DUN DUUUUUUUUUUUN! What did Inuyasha pick up? Why did Kagome just leave like that? Why is Inuyasha thinking about Kikyo? Well if you want answers, keep reading! DUH!)
