Disclaimer: I do not own InuYasha, Rumiko Takahashi does.

Authors Note: Hope you enjoy it so far!

Last Chapter: InuYasha continued to stare at the fire. He looked up at his friends and pulled out an almost whole Shikon no Tama from his kimono, "She's not coming back," he stated in a low tome.

InuYasha sighed and looked down at his battered kimono. "And I still have the jewel…" he said to himself.

InuYasha looked outside to see it was raining so heavily that it came into the cave.

Chapter 2

Flashback

Lightening struck.

"What!" Sango said in disbelief.

InuYasha put the jewel back in his kimono, "She's not coming back."

"But why!" Shippo wailed.

"I….I don't know," was the hanyou's educated reply.

"I bet it's your fault!" The slayer yelled accusingly at InuYasha.

"But, but, I…I d-," he stuttered.

"Don't say it wasn't your fault!"

"I….I d-"

"We're leaving, Miroku!"

Startled, the monk looked up at Sango, "Where to, my lady?"

"Anywhere but here! Come, Shippo, you too!" she practically yelled picking up her boomerang.

"Please believe me Sango, I d-," he pleaded.

"Shut up, mutt!" she cried, hitting him with her Hiraikotsu. InuYasha stepped aside, dizzy and dazed from the blow to his head.

"Gomen, InuYasha," Miroku said before he walked out the door. All of his friend were gone now, all because Kagome left.

"I hope ye and ye friends aren't separated from each other forever," Kaede-babaa said as InuYasha walked out the door, heading in the opposite direction his friends took.

End Flashback

'Two years ago, we all fought and parted. Kouga didn't even help me, and I really didn't expect him to. I don't even know why Kagome was mad at me. I really don't,' InuYasha thought.

"What!" he exclaimed as he sniffed the air, "Naraku! Again, and he's really close."

InuYasha picked up the Tetsusiaga and stood at the entrance of the cave. He unleashed a Kaze no Kizu that just barely grazed Naraku's shoulder. The demon sent back a wave of miasma towards the hanyou, who jumped into the air and released a Kongou Shoha. Some of the diamond spears pierced Naraku in the stomach but countered and sent a bunch of his tentacles at InuYasha. One created a huge gash on his side which ruined most of the bandages he wrapped himself in.

The hanyou quickly put his new cut to use, he sent daggers of blood flying for Naraku. He managed to dodge them, but one cut his face.

Naraku licked the blood that made it's way down his chin, "Delicious," he murmured as he sent more tentacles at InuYasha. He was slowed by his wound so dodging became difficult. The demon managed to drive one of his tentacles through InuYasha's chest.

"Are you finished, half-breed?" Naraku asked, a smirk gracing his lips.

"No!" InuYasha yelled, he threw the Shikon no Tama as far as he could. 'I don't care where it goes, as long as Naraku doesn't get it," he thought.

"You…You mutt!" Naraku forced his tentacle out of InuYasha, "Wait 'till I get back! I will kill you, you bastard half-breed!" Naraku turned around and ran off in the direction of the jewel.

Modern Day Japan-Kagome's Time

"Muh…Make-up exam!" Kagome exclaimed to her teacher.

"Yes, Ms. Higurashi. A math make-up exam," Mr. Takayama said calmly.

"I failed!" Kagome screamed, almost crying.

"Yes, you will retake the test on Friday, understood?"

"Yes, sensei," she said as she slung her backpack over her shoulder and headed for home. Her friends stopped her and they gossiped about what was happening around town, at school, and of course boys.

They went down to their favorite fast food restaurant for some milkshakes, and they departed at the park. Kagome walked 4 blocks and was soon standing in front of the Higurashi shrine.

"What?" Kagome said as she passed the well, "I sense a…jewel shard. A big one, but how?" she climbed down the well.

"Just like that time when InuYasha forced me down the well after Shessomaru attacked us. InuYasha was badly injured, I wanted to see him again so much. But in the end I was able to get b-," she muttered to herself. Then the dirt ground of the well disappeared. She felt like she was falling. Pitch black darkness surrounded her. Kagome closed her eyes, afraid of what was happening. Then the falling feeling went away, and she opened her eyes to see the jewel lying on the ground in front of her.

"….back," Kagome finished as she grabbed the jewel.

"Kagome…here?" Kouga sniffed the air.

"I can smell Kagome!" Shippo yelled to Miroku and Sango.
