Autumn Hugs and Forever Love
Chapter Three

As the horrid thoughts of InuYasha leaving her for Kikyo filled her mind. She had seen the figure of the tall priestess kissing the love of her life in her mind. The thoughts felt as if a knife was stabbing her soul a thousand times or more. She wanted to just cry but couldn't, she have to stay strong for herself. No matter how hard she tried she couldn't get the thoughts away from her mind, they were haunting her every second of every minute. "Kagome are you staying tonight? It is awfully late and you should get some work done in school tomorrow," Kagome's mom called out. Kagome took a second to think about it, and she decided to stay. Besides if InuYasha truly cares, he would come for her like the other times.

"INUYASHA! INUYASHA PLEASE WAIT FOR ME!" Kagome shouted out. There was nothing but dark fog that covered the land. InuYasha was running away from Kagome, and towards something else. It was Kikyo; He was running towards her and away from Kagome. "INUYASHA! INUYASHA!" No response, all was quiet. He continued towards Kikyo and just as he touched her, something woke Kagome up. "Kagome, wake up it's time for school" Kagome's mother called out in a kind voice. Kagome got up out of her bed and noticed her window was still shut. "InuYasha did not come last night" she thought to herself. She went to her closet and took out one of her school uniforms, and headed to the bathroom to change. Once changed, she went to the kitchen and was embraced by a warm smell of fresh omelets her mother had made. "Would you like some breakfast dear?" Kagome's mom asked. "No thanks, I better get going" Kagome said with a grin on her face. It was a fake smile; she was truly upset because there was still no sign of InuYasha. She walked to school and was greeted by her three curious friends, who always wanted news about Kagome's love life.

The day was long and boring and it was finally night time. Kagome sat on her bed still awaiting InuYasha, who had not came yet. "Hey sis are you going back to the other side yet?" Souta asked curiously. "What do you mean yet! Do you not want me here with my family!" Kagome shouted at her young brother. Souta looked at Kagome with fear, and she turned on her heel and walked away.

-In Feudal Japan-

"Come on InuYasha go apologize to Kagome!" Shippo the young fox demon shouted at InuYasha. "I AIN'T APOLOGIZIN' TO HER!" InuYasha shouted with anger. "Well you should since you're the one who started it!" Shippo shouted back. At that moment the anger flew through the dog demon like one million needles, he threw his fist down on the young fox demon's head and sat down stubbornly as the fox demon cried in pain. "InuYasha why did you hit Shippo? He was just making a point out to you," Sango, the demon slayer said. "I don't care what he says and what point he has to make, I ain't apologizin'!" He shouted. "Well we all agree that you should go get Kagome and bring her back, it's getting lonely without her here." Sango said calmly. "I don't care what you think, I ain't goin'!" He shouted back. "You're the only one who can go through the well other than Kagome, so you will go even of we force you too!" Miroku shouted at him. "Yeah," Shippo agreed. The moon rose across the star-lit skies of Feudal Japan; Sango, Miroku, and Shippo all prepared for their plan to get InuYasha to go to Kagome's time.

-Present Day Japan- The morning sun was raising and Kagome's alarm clock went off; it was finally Saturday. She followed her daily schedule since InuYasha had not came; first breakfast, then helping her grandpa outside, and then go to the shrine and wait. She sat inside the dusty family shrine awaiting the love of her life to come get her, but he never came. She sat quietly on the dusty steps, as temptation came over her body just to jump in the well and check on them, but she couldn't, she wanted him to check on her.

-Once again in Feudal Japan-

"What about that Hojo guy InuYasha? Aren't you afraid he will steal Kagome away from you?" Miroku asked InuYasha persuading him to go after Kagome. "What about that hobo guy!" InuYasha snarled at Miroku. "I'm just saying, with Kagome over there unprotected he may be trying to steal her away from you…" Just as they thought, the plan was working. InuYasha was getting jealous and as planned; he jumped down the well and ended up in Kagome's era.

-Back in the Present-

Kagome was inside now, lying on her bed thinking of InuYasha and Kikyo again. "He's not coming…he would have been here by now…" she thought to herself. She gave a sad sigh and buried her face in her pillow. Out of nowhere, she heard a knock on her window and looked up. There he was the hanyou who she loves; with his red robes and his sword at his side he sat there awaiting Kagome to open her window and let him in. "Kagome let me in!" He knocked once more and she ran to her window and allowed him inside the warm pink room.

Where have you been? I've been waiting forever and you had never came InuYasha!" Kagome shouted at him. "Kagome is everything all right dear?" Kagome's mom asked politely.

"Everything's fine mom" Kagome shouted. "All right well I guess I'll leave you alone now" Kagome's mom walked down the hall and into the kitchen. "What do you mean where have I been? You were with that Hobo guy so I had to come get you!" He shouted at her. "HOBO GUY! I HAVEN'T EVEN TALKED TO HOJO!" She shouted with rage. "OH YEAH?" He shouted back. "You know what-" She shouted but before she could finish her sentence she felt warm moist lips touch hers. At first she thought InuYasha had went crazy, but when she thought about it she felt butterflies roam her stomach. InuYasha pulled away quickly and just realized he had kissed Kagome. His white cheeks turned rosy pink and he stared deep into Kagome's eyes. "InuYasha…" Kagome said also looking deep into his golden eyes. "Kagome…I-" Before he could finish his sentence Kikyo appeared in his mind. Her eyes glared at InuYasha, almost as if she was there. "Do not call out her name, you love me InuYasha!" Kikyo shouted in his mind. He closed his eyes and tried to shake her out of his mind. "InuYasha?" Kagome called out to him. He didn't respond to her though. "I'm sorry; can I go back to the Feudal Era with you?" He still did not respond. "InuYasha?" Kagome called out again. There was still no response. To be continued…
