Chapter 2: Should I stay or should I go?
"Miroku! Why is Inuyasha just sitting there? He hasn't moved in two days, not even to eat…" a little fox demon questioned his monk friend.
"Shippo, I'm not sure, but I think he just misses Kagome and won't admit it to anyone. I think he may sit there all season if we don't do something with him to keep him occupied. Sango, what should we do?"
Sango sat for a few seconds, still polishing her weapon, pondering on what Miroku had said, and glancing up at Inuyasha sitting in the tree at the other side of camp. "Miroku, I think he just wants to be with Kagome. We should try to talk him into going to her time to visit her. He's gone there before so it shouldn't be a problem."
The trio walked over to the tree that Inuyasha was posted in. "Inuyasha?" Shippo asked quietly.
"Ya, what do you want brat?"
Sango stepped in, "Inuyasha, we know you miss Kagome. Why don't you go to her time to see her for a while? I'm sure she would be more than happy to have you there with her and her family."
"Ya well, it's not that simple! She isn't with her family. They sent her over the see to someplace called America to go to school, since she missed so much of her school because she was here. It's far away, she says on the other side of the world, and she won't be back until spring! So I can't go, I just have to sit here and wait for her to return. Now leave me alone!"
They all just stared at him as he went back to sulking in the tree. The Miroku spoke up again, "Inuyasha, it's going to be the time for the new moon soon. Why don't you go through the well and talk to her family. Find out where she is, and ask them if they can help you go to her. It is that Christmas thing she always talks about soon too, so I know Kagome will be lonely with out anyone with her."
"Feh! Why would they help me go to her? And how the hell do you think it's going to look for me, a half-demon, to be running around in public, looking like I do. How will I explain that one? Huh? Come on, tell me that you idiot!"
"Inuyasha, I'm sure that her mother can cover you well enough so as not to draw attention to yourself until you are safe with Kagome. Besides, with your transformation coming soon, you will fit in, at least for one night. Go on Inuyasha, you would be safer there with her during that time anyway, you know that."
Sango added to the conversation, "Besides, we can all see that you NEED to go to her. If you don't you will sit there in that tree and not move or eat until she returns, and that is good for neither you nor her. Now get off your butt and GO!"
"Feh! Well I guess you can't argue with that!" Inuyasha just snarled at them all. He then leapt out of the tree and headed off towards the well.
"I wish I could go with him," Shippo pouted and hugged onto Sango.
"I know Shippo, but she will return sooner than you think, and it'll be all right then, but right now Inuyasha needs her, alone. You'll understand better when you are older."
"Humph! Always when I'm 'OLDER'! Sango, that's not fair!" Shippo protested as they walked back to the camp fire.
Meanwhile, at the well, Inuyasha sat there staring into the darkness of the well. Should I stay here or should I go to her? I want to go to her. But what if her family won't help me find her? They have to help me. And, well, if they don't I'll just find her on my own! Who's gonna stop me? ………… I can't stand being away from her for so long, I have to find her……And with that thought, Inuyasha jumped into the well.
A/N: Okay hmmm, now what? Will he find her? How will he stay hidden in the present time. Will her family help him go to her or hinder him? More answers to come in the next chapter, keep watching!
