Bond through time chapter 3

Inuyasha

Inuyasha had just seen Koga and Kagome kiss. He still couldn't believe it. This whole night was like a bad dream, one that he just couldn't get rid of. He felt so many emotions all at once. Anger, hurt, regret…all he wanted at this point was for the earth to open up beneath him and swallow him up alive.

Inuyasha didn't know how long he was wondering around for…he didn't even know where he was going. His heart felt so empty. Why on earth do I do these things to her? I really do love her so much, but Kikyo is right…If I loved her, I wouldn't do this to her. Maybe I deserved this…I lost my chance to be with her and Koga won her fair and square. She loves him now. I wouldn't even blame her…he never did hurt her…it was always me…but why?

"Hey Mutt! Wait up!" Inuyasha heard a voice call out to him. He sighed; the last thing that he wanted was a confrontation with Koga. He simply was not in the mood to deal with him. He decided to ignore him and continue to walk where ever he was going.

"Hey are you deaf? I said hold up!" Koga called out annoyed that he was being ignored.

"What do you want?" Inuyasha growled as he continued to walk, not looking back.

"What do you think mutt? It's about Kagome." Koga said. His voice sounded very close this time, right behind Inuyasha as a matter of fact. At hearing Kagome's name Inuyasha stopped in his tracks.

"What about her?" He asked in a low voice with his head down. Did Koga only come to rub in his face that he didn't have her anymore? If that was the case, he wouldn't hang around to hear what he had to say.

"What the heck did you do to her tonight? She ran into me earlier crying uncontrollably. I've never seen her like that before." Koga sounded very upset.

"It's none of your business." Inuyasha said with his back still towards Koga. When he looked up he saw Koga standing right in front of him. His arms were crossed over his chest and he glared angrily at him.

"To the heck it's not my business! The woman I love is now crying because of what you did to her. She told me everything. I don't know what she sees in you…" Koga shouted

"What she sees in me?" Inuyasha echoed. "What do you mean sees in me?" He asked curiously.

Koga sighed. "Why would I be here taking to you if she still didn't love you?"

The expression on Inuyaha's face fell again when he remembered what he saw. "How can she? I saw you two kissing. She loves you not me."

"You are such a baka mutt! Of all the times you had hurt her, why the heck do you think she's still here? She's always loved you and always will…at least that's what she said. Her love for you has kept her here with you and everyone else..." He walked over to a tree and was leaning against it.

"You don't deserve her. For someone who can continue to deal with your crap, she's strong." Koga said in a low voice. "Sometimes I think she's stronger then me…I love her so much, but sometimes I find it hard to accept that she will never love me. She's so special…in so many ways…"He whispered. He turned his attention to Inuyasha. He walked over to the hinyou and stood before him.

"You know…when I found her…when I took her back with me…I was so angry….I wanted to kill you." Koga's eyes clouded over for a second, and then he glared at Inuyasha. "I still do but to be honest with you it's not worth it."

Inuyash's eyes widened at what he hear Koga said. A smirk came across his face. "Why cause you know that I'll bet you? It's about time that your relized the truth."

Koga just gave him a cold look…in fact, it was colder then any other look that he gave him. Inuyasha just gasped at the look. "You are so full of yourself. Why would I want to lay a hand on someone who is lower then dirt?" With that last word, he ran off. Leaving Inuyasha standing there stunted.

For a few seconds, Inuyasha just stood there not saying a word, yet thousands of thoughts were raging through his mind concerning his confrontation with Koga. Finally he snapped out of his thoughts just as Koga was a few yards ahead of him. "Hold up you mange wolf! Who do you think you are talking to me like that? What makes you think that you know Kagome any better then I do?" He snapped.

At hearing that Koga stopped in his tracks. In half a seconds time Koga was standing in front of Inuyasha again. His eyes were blazing with fire as they glared at Inuyasha however, when Koga remembered the promise he made to Kagome, they when back to a normal cold and deadly stare. Without a word, Koga sped off leaving a dumbfounded and puzzled Inuyasha. Why did his whole attitude change? He thought to himself.

After his confrontation with Koga, Inuyasha continued to walk. Not only was his mind on Kagome, but it was also on his conversation with Koga. Strange…Koga had every excuse to start a fight with him, however he didn't. Inuyasha couldn't help but wonder why….especially with the last things that he said to him and the look that Koga give him….then for that look to suddenly disappear?

As Inuyaha continued to walk, he found that he walked to a very familiar place. When he walked in side, everyone turned their attention from what they were doing to the new comer. Ignoring their stares, Inuyasha looked around for one person in particular.

"Inuyasha, what are you looking for?" Sango asked curiously. She could tell just by looking at him that something was not right. What it was, she wasn't sure of.

"Did Kagome stop by here?" Inuyasha finally asked after a moment. Everyone looked at Inuyasha with confusion.

"Am I missing something? Didn't Kagome leave a couple of hours ago?" Miroku asked confused.

"She came back." Inuyasha whispered. He figured that she never did come back to the hut. Now he was really worried…where could she be? He couldn't smell her scent anywhere near the hut.

"Inuyasha…why do you have that look on your face?" Shippo asked.

"What did you do Inuyasha?" Sango asked. She could tell by the look on his face that something had happen between him and Kagome.

Inuyasha sat down and told his friends everything that had happened, minus his encounter with Koga. They neither said anything nor had an expression on their face. When he was finshed, the room was completely quite. All eyes were on him. He swallowed hard…he knew they would be mad at him.

"I can't believe you…" Was all that Sango said. She didn't even look at Inuyasha as she spoke.

"You really messed up this time…" Miroku said shaking his head in disapproval.

"What kind of mindless baka are you!" Shippo shouted.

"My sister mentioned something about bond and timeline right?" Kiadi asked with a thoughtful look on her face.

Inuyasha turned his attention to the older woman. "Yes…she also mentioned about Kagome never coming back…what did she mean by that?" Inuyasha asked with a worried look on his face.

"Ah….yes…If the bond is broken, then she will never come back…"Kiadi said more to herself as she stood up.

"WHAT BOND! WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? STOP TALKING IN RIDDLES!" Inuyasha shouted. His sudden reaction surprised everyone in the room. "Please Kiadi…I might not have enough time." Inuyasha whispered disparately.

"The only way that the two of you are able to travel back and forth in time is because of that bond." Kiadi started. All eyes were locked on her as she continued to speak. "The bond is the deep connection that the two of you have towards each other…that's to say the love you have for each other. Kagome is a reincarnation of my sister. You and my sister had a bond all those years ago. She died still loving you and that love is now within Kagome. That's why it's only the two of you who are able to travel. If either one of you break the bond, then time travel will no longer be possible."

Inuyasha and everyone else gasped after Kiadi finished speaking. "You mean to tell me that Kagome always loved Inuyasha? Even when they first met?" Sango asked surprised.

"Yes." Kiadi whispered. "But she didn't know…it took time for her to accept it…like wise the same with Inuyasha." She turned her attention to the Han you sitting across from her. "My sister is right Inuyasha. You have blinded yourself from seeing your true love. Kikyo is no longer able to love…the two of you cannot be together. However you and Kagome, I have noticed, hold an even stronger bond then you did with Kikyo. Of course that makes Kikyo jealous for she strongly believes that you belong to her and to her alone…even if nothing can develop between the two of you."

"How can the bond be broken?" Inuyasha asked, already having an idea of what the answer could be.

Kiade looked at him with a serious look in her eyes. "The only way it could be broken is if either one of you choose not to love each other or if either one of you were to strongly believe that the other one didn't love them. Kagome may strongly believe that you don't love her because of what she heard and saw. You confessed your love to someone else other then Kagome. The bond is broken."

Inuyash's heart sank deeply at hearing that their bond was broken…but he felt somewhat hopeful for one thing. "So if she is still here is there anyway the bond can be fixed?" He asked hopefully.

"Yes…if the two of you communicate with each other…if she feels that you love her and you really do love her, the bond will be unbroken. But if she goes back to her time, it will become harder for the two of you to communicate. However, if she still has the shards there is still a chance. The shards are stronger then the two of you together. If she has it she will be able to sense the love you have for her…if she doesn't have the shards, all hope is lost….forever."

"No!" Inuyasha cried out as he stood up. "I have to go and find her before she leaves…" He headed towards the door way and looked back at his friends, a look of determination fell across his face. "She needs to hear the truth….that I really do love her." With that he ran off to look for Kagome. The others sat in the hut staring at the spot where he once stood.

"Do you think he'll find her?" Shippo asked as he looked up at Sango with hope filled eyes. "What if he doesn't find her? What if she went back? Then she'll never come back!" Shippo cried out as tears started to form in his eyes.

"Let's not think that way….let's believe that Inuyasha will find Kagome and straiten things out." Miroku said calmly, thus hushing Shippo's cries.

"He sure did pick a perfect timing…." Sango said. All eyes turned to her, she looked at the others with a serious look on her face. "I don't want Kagome to be gone from us forever….I care for her as much as all of you do. However, maybe this will teach Inuyasha a lesson. He's always doing something thoughtless and stupid. If he really does love her….he would never do those stupid things…"

Where could she be? Inuyasha thought to himself as he continued searching for her. He searched through out the whole area of where he thought she would be. However, everywhere he looked, he neither found her nor picked up on her scent…that is until he reached the well. He stopped in his tracks as he looked around. There was no sight of her anywhere, so where was her scent coming from?

"Kagome, where are you?" Inuyasha called out. There was no reply. He walked closer to the well, as he did the scent became stronger. It puzzled him so, because she was nowhere to be seen. As he got closer to the well, he noticed a faint light. He gasped as he could only guess what it was. "Kagome!" He cried out. He ran to where he saw the light. Sure enough right in front of the well was the shards that Kagome always carried. "Kagome! No please!" Inuyasha gasped. One of two things could have happened: One, she was attacked and taken away (that's something he could handle cause at least she would still be in his time) or Two. She went back home

(That's the thought that he couldn't bear with). There was only one way he could find out for sure. He turned around and took in a deep breath and jumped. What first caught his attention was the absence of the light. He reached the bottom of the well. Upon landing, he felt as if he lost his breath. Everything around him felt as if they were spinning. NOOOOOO! He screamed mentally. He jumped out of the well only to be confronted with his deepest fears. Instead of being in the future, he was still in the past. What's worst, instead of having the shards with her, they were in his hands.

His eyes widen with disbelief, shock, anger and pain. The pain that he now felt was much worst then what he felt when Kikyo betrayed him.

As he stood by the well, his head was down and his eyes were closed. His shoulders began to quiver uncontrollably. His breathing became sharp and hollow. What have I done? How could I have done this? He couldn't hold back the tears that were threatening to fall. He opened his eyes and looked up at the sky. He felt a drop of water hit his forehead, it was followed by another two drops then suddenly it started to pour. By this time he couldn't hold back the tears. He was shaking all over and his tears mixed with the rain that was now soaking him. He fell to the ground for he no longer had the strength to hold himself up. He was hunched over with his head down "Kagome…I'm so sorry…" He whispered to himself as the tears continued to come down. Suddenly he shot his head back up. "KAGOME!" He screamed in agony as he ripped apart his kimono top exposing his bare chest. He looked up to the sky. The moon light shone down on him making his skin look glisten from the rain. "KAGOME! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" He screamed. "ILLFAITED! ILLFAITED!" With that he collapsed to the ground as the rain continued to fall on top of his body.

Kagome looked up from her desk in her room. She was reading something when all of a sudden she thought she heard something. What was that? It sounded like…

She looked out of the window. It surprised her that it was raining the way it was. The forecast did not predict this rain for tonight. She turned her attention away from the window and tried to concentrate on the book she was reading. However for some reason, she couldn't concentrate. What is going on? Why do I have this really bad feeling? Something is wrong…but what? She thought hard, but nothing at all came to her mind. Suddenly she stood up from her desk and walked out of her room. It was as if her body was taking complete control ignoring any commands that her mind was giving it. Where am I going? She thought to herself. A couple of minutes later, she found herself standing in front of the well. Why am I here? Why do I still have that feeling that something is not right? Kagome was beyond confused by the events now playing out. All she was doing was sitting at her desk reading…then all of a sudden she thought she heard…

"Inuyasha…" Kagome whispered. Her heart sank at the thought of what had happened earlier. Yet no matter how much she tried to, she couldn't forget about him. The thought of him and Kikyo…the way that they were…she tried desperately to burn the thought from her head but she couldn't. She also remembered what she said to Koga…that she couldn't be upset because she didn't tell Inuyasha that she loved him, nor did he tell her. She couldn't blame him….she just couldn't. There was no reason why she shouldn't go back…She had her friends that she could visit…she really enjoyed it. But I can't stand to see his face. I know he didn't tell me that he loves me…but I could have sworn that I saw it in his eyes in more then one occasion. Yet if that's the case, then why would he tell Kikyo that he loved her…if he really loved me? So I have to reason that he doesn't love me, no matter what my heart may tell me. She was determined that this was the truth.

As she turned around to walk away, she noticed something else. She reached into her pocket to pull out the shards, but to her shock…they were not there….in fact, there was a hole in her pocket big enough for the bottle that held the shards to go through. She sighed. Although she really didn't want to risk the chance of running into Inuyasha, she felt that she couldn't just leave the shards there. First of all, it could get into the wrong hands and secondly, Inuyasha wouldn't let her ever forget about how mindless she was about forgetting something as important. With that last thought in mind, she jumped into the well. She immediately knew something was wrong when she didn't see the usual light. What the- she gasped. What on earth is going on…why does it feel as if I didn't even go anywhere?

She decided to climb out of the well. She gasped in horror at what she saw. She didn't travel back in the past, she was still home, in her time. It was hard for her to even comprehend what was going on. Her heart felt weighed down. She could hardly breath. She stumbled out side and fell on to her knees. The rain pounded on top of her head. It slowly dawned upon her that she was no longer able to travel and she couldn't understand why. The only thing that crossed her mind was….

"INUYASHA!" She screamed. Her voice echoed all around her only repeating the name that was resounding in her head. The tears started to come down. Not only did she lose Inuyasha to Kikyo but she also lost the privilege of traveling through time. She honestly didn't mean that she never wanted to see him again….how…was this possible? She collapsed to the ground, overwhelmed by what was going on. The tears continued to fall down her cheeks and the rain mixed with tears. "Inuyasha…" She said just above a whisper before blacking out.

Inuyasha's eyes shot open. He was still on the ground the rain slowed down a bit. He noticed that he wasn't alone. Standing above him were 6 heads. One belonging to Shippo (who was sitting on Sango's shoulder), Miroku who was standing next to Sango, Kiadi, Koga and finally…Seshomaru.

"Great! He's alive!" Seshomaru said plainly, rolling his eyes.

"Inuyasha, what does ill-fated mean?" Shippo asked innocently.

"It means that fate has dealt him a blow." Sango said answering the young fox demon's question.

"Well, in that case, what's fate?" Shippo questioned again.

"We have a lot to talk about later." Miroku said patting Shippo on the head and in the process patting Sango where he shouldn't have. Thus earning him the trademark red mark across his face.

"Where's Kagome?" Koga spoke up. He glared at Inuyasha…as if he were ready to pounce on him any second.

Slowly Inuyasha sat up. Everyone around him took a step back, giving him room. He looked around. Looking for…

"Kagome…" He whispered. That's when his eyes widened. That's when he remembered. He looked up to Koga who was still waiting for an answer. An answer he couldn't bring himself to answer. So he took a shot at trying to change the subject.

"Why are you all here?" Inuyasha asked as he looked around.

"Well, we are here because we heard you screaming out Kagome's name…we just came to see what was wrong. When we came we saw you on the ground passed out, but we didn't see Kagome any where near by." Sango spoke up for her, Kiadi, Miroku and Shippo. "As for these two, I have no clue."

"I came because I thought Kagome was in danger and I knew that a mutt like you couldn't protect her." Koga said with his nose up in the air, looking away from Inuyasha.

This left Seshomaru to explain himself. He looked around at the pair of eyes that were now glued on to him. "What? I thought he was getting his butt kicked and I couldn't resist to see it…." He looked around at the group…no one seemed to buy what he was saying. "Ok…Ok…I was in the area and I wanted to know what was going on." He said, then he added "But this does not mean that I care…"

"Now answer the question, Mutt, what did you do to Kagome!" Koga growled annoyed that Inuyasha ignored his question.

"She's…she's gone.." Inuyasha whispered. "She's gone forever."
