Hey guys! Sorry, author notes will be short today (or maybe it makes you happy?) It's late right now so I have to hurry.

Sorry for the long update, but you have to understand this is a fun thing I do and my life SUCKS right now. This girl is giving me shit and it's messing my life. School is so hard this year and GRR! EVERYTHING'S JUST GONE WRONG!

Anyways, I'm trying to find as much time as I can to type these chapter. This one should be done in...I think around 3-4 more chapters?

Anyways, please read and review, and read my comment down, it's VERY IMPORTANT!


Trouble Arising

(With Kagome and InuYasha)

Kagome was crying until she felt something. She looked around and took out her arrows in case it was a demon. She waited a while and when she didn't see anything come, she decided that she should head back to the hut. She looked down sadly… how could she explain to the others that she had killed him…

Her tiny fist tightened…she had killed him. SHE had KILLED him. If she hadn't asked him to take off the bracelet, he would still be here with her! She changed her trajectory and went to the Goshinboku.

Her hand went up to the place where the arrow that had pinned InuYasha had been. Her hand brushed against it. Not only was it because of this tree, more specifically this hole, that she had met InuYasha, it was also because of this tree that she was here again… since that day when Kikyou had pushed her back into the well…after she had…killed InuYasha… she had been able to communicate with InuYasha and use the shard embedded in the hole to come back to him.

Her hand went back down as she sat at the roots of the tree and resumed her crying.

---

InuYasha punched repeatedly the ground and the trees around him. His skin was ripped up, pieces of rock, wood and dirt were embedded in it and blood was pouring out.

But he didn't care…Nothing could be worse then what he was feeling right now… Physical pain helped take away the emotional one…

He needed to relax and think. Relax and think. He inhaled deeply and exhaled softly, and went to sit on the roots of the Goshinboku…where he had first met Kagome…where Kagome came back to him…he loved this tree. He would come here often to think…to relax…to wait for Kagome…

Kagome…

Suddenly…he felt something…

---

Kagome was sobbing until she suddenly felt safe…she felt another presence. Her eyes widened, the feeling she had earlier…it was like this one! And it didn't feel evil…Could it be…COULD IT BE?

Only one way to find out…

---

(A/N: HAHA! You guys are going to hate me…but I'm cutting it short there for the moment and jumping to none-other then…)

"I…Sesshoumaru…that day… you left before I finished, I… I want…NEED to tell you something first." Hana started as she looked up at him.

"What is it?" Sesshoumaru's voice gentled down a bit as he saw the pain in her eyes… DAMN HIM! DAMN HIS EMOTIONS! DAMN HANA! His heart was hurting at her pain and he wanted to just wipe it off of her and make her the happiest person in the world.

"I...you were the only one...I ever...loved...and after that day, I-" she said before getting cut off.

"Don't talk bullshit Hana. Don't lie to this Sesshoumaru."

"I'm not lying Sesshoumaru, I-"

"If that were true then we'd be happily mated together." Sesshoumaru cut her once again.

"That's what I'm-"

"We'd have a lot of pups like we dreamed about. We would be living in my castle. We wouldn't be here, like this."

"WILL YOU PLEASE LISTEN TO ME!" she roared annoyed at his attitude.

Sesshoumaru glared at her.

She took a deep breathe.

"I wanted to tell you that…I didn't do it…" she said.

"You…didn't do it?" He asked slowly. 'But if she didn't do it…then that'd mean...'

"Yes, it means I'm no longer part of the Koinu family." She said, completing his thoughts.

They stayed there, in a tense silence…

"Why?" Sesshoumaru asked, breaking the previous silence.

"Why?" Hana repeated.

"Why. Why didn't you do it?"

"Because…I still…I still…I.still.love.you!" She said the last part very fast, but Sesshoumaru's keen hearing caught it all.

His breathe got caught.

She still…she still loved him?

Yes…probably…she accepted getting disowned by her family just to be with him…but he had been fleeing from her…from his problems…from his pain…that he never noticed. She didn't marry Shonto for him…she didn't mate with Shonto for…him.

"What happened with Shonto afterwards?" He asked.

Hana looked sadly down, disappointed by what he had said…or more at what he had not said.

"He was happy too…I've heard that he got married with the girl he liked, Aoi." She answered.

There was another pregnant silence.

Sesshoumaru looked up, approached Hana and pulled her chin up so she looked directly in his eyes.

"I still love you too…Han-Han." He said, at first hesitating to use his favorite nickname to her.

She gasped as he hugged her close to him and kissed her.

(With InuYasha and Kagome)

(A/N: I am not THAT evil XD)

It felt exactly like the time when Kagome had left him and went to the future! When he'd been able to tell her to come back…when he told her…that he needed her by his side!

InuYasha stood up and remembered what she told him, he quickly took out a shard that he kept with him and put it in the little hole where once the arrow that pinned him to the tree had resided.

--

Kagome quickly stood up. There was one way to find out…if it was him…she was SURE he'd do it…she didn't know how…she just KNEW he would.

She quickly poked her finger into the hole where she had seen a shard before and indeed…she found another shard.

She gasped and put her hand on the bark of the tree and started to concentrate.

--

InuYasha saw the shard suddenly disappear and his eyes widened. He was almost sure it was Kagome…

He concentrated…

--

"KAGOME-KA!" InuYasha yelled as he saw Kagome.

"INUYASHA-WA!" she yelled back and she ran into his arms.

"Are you okay?" They both asked at the same time. And both nodded at the same time too.

InuYasha hugged her tight against him.

"Where…where were you?" he asked gently.

"I was near the Goshinboku…what about you?"

"That's weird…I was there as well…how could that be?" he asked.

And right at that moment, a white light shined hard and blinded both of them, and as soon as they opened their eyes, they were in a magnificent place.

It was a temple with a stream with crystal clear water going through, flowers everywhere; all in all, it looked like paradise.

But now wasn't the time.

"What is this place?" InuYasha asked amazed and looked around.

Kagome gasped, and InuYasha turned to look at her.

"What's wrong?" he ran to her.

"InuYasha…this is…this is where I trained…with…Midoriko." She said.

And as soon as the words parted from her mouth, a woman with long straight black hair and in armor appeared.

"Midoriko-san!" Kagome squealed as she ran to hug Midoriko who was smiling tenderly.

"Kagome child. InuYasha." She nodded her head towards the stunned hanyou.

"Midoriko! What's happening? After InuYasha took of the bracelet, he, or I, we disappeared, and apparently we were at the same place! I don't get it!" Kagome said.

"Do not worry child. It is normal. Both of you will now go through a few tests…since, the magic in the bracelet can not determine whether he is your true love just like that. I wish thy luck." And before anyone could say anything, they both got blinded by white light again and a different scene happened.

--

Kagome woke up in her bed.

"OH NO! I'M LATE!" She yelled as she took out a yellow bag and stuffed a lot of different things in it.

She ran to the well and jumped in, letting the blue light enveloping her.

As soon as she came out, she ran up to the hut where everyone was waiting for her.

"Hey guys!" she said cheerfully.

"Keh, what took you so long wench?" He said coldly.

She glared at him.

"Listen jerk! I don't HAVE to come here, I only come because I feel bad for breaking the jewel, and you HAVE to help me because YOU want the jewel." She said with a similar cold tone.

"Whatever, let's go." He said and left.

Kagome went on Kirara with Miroku, Sango and Shippou and they headed off to where InuYasha was going.

They were still heading to the south, but Kagome was deep in thought.

'Why…why does it feel so weird? Like this isn't how it's supposed to be…like this is wrong…' she thought frowning.

Little did she know a certain silver-haired hanyou was having similar thoughts.

'Keh, something's wrong…I can feel it. Something about Kagome and me…' he said.

'It's like…it's like we aren't supposed to hate each other…but we were meant to love each other…' both thought at the same time.


Okay, so, hope you liked it :P Even though I was very mean .:halo appears on top of head:.

Now, the important message I had to say is...you have the choice!

I can do a sequel to this if you want, I think I alredy have an idea, OR, I could use that idea and make another completly new story. Your pick.

So, in your review, (PLEASE REVIEW! XD) please tell me wether you want a sequel to the story or not, and I will be posting the results each chapter till the end and tell you wether there will be one or not.
