Kagome's Realization Back Through the Well

The sun shined brightly through the window giving light to the sleeping pair. It almost blinded Kagome, waking her up. She looked down at the sleeping hanyou next to her and moved his arm from her waist. After a nice stretch she figured she could use some tea and knew Taro would want to be fed and changed. She quickly put on a change of clothes and put a kettle of water on the stove. She walked as quietly as she could to Taro's room hoping Inuyasha wouldn't wake up.

The wolf hanyou was already awake playing with his feet. He giggled when he saw his mother come pick him up. He even gave her a 'special' surprise when she took off his diaper. She was glad her mother thought to buy her cloth diapers.

About the time Taro was clean she heard the kettle whistling from the kitchen and knew Inuyasha would be up. She ran with the baby in her arms to retrieve her tea. She put Taro in his high chair and fed him while she sipped her tea. She had thought in advance to make enough water to make Inuyasha's Ramen.

At that moment, the said dog youkai came in the kitchen still wearing the shorts and tee shirt. He smiled happily when he saw two bowls of ramen waiting for him on the table.

"Ramen. Good job wench." He said as he inhaled the first bowl and moved to the second.

"Inuyasha we have to talk." Kagome finished her tea and was washing her cup and the Taro's bottle in the sink.

"What about wench? I thought we talked enough yesterday." He got up from the table to walk towards her.

Kagome turned off the sink and froze when she felt his arms around her and his head on her shoulder.

"We have to talk about this." She wiggled free of him and scooped up her son. She walked back to his room to pack his clothes.

Inuyasha followed and watched her pack her clothes. 'Why is she packing? I thought she was staying here with me?' He moved closer to her but she moved away from him.

"Why are you packing?" he asked.

"I….We have to talk." She said still holding Taro. "We're going back to Sengoku Jidai. Today."

Inuyasha just looked at her confused. 'Was she saying she still wanted to be with him? Maybe she wanted to tell Kouga now.' A smirk crept to his face. "Feh. Good it's about time you told that wimpy wolf you're staying with me." He turned to leave but she stopped him.

"No. I'm going back with Kouga. I love him and I'm his mate." She couldn't look in his face. She just turned around to finish putting Taro's baby things in her yellow backpack.

Inuyasha didn't know what to do. She was going back to Kouga. She lied to him. She made him believe she loved him. 'But she never told me she would stay with me? Why did I think that?' "Kagome? Will I ever see you again?"

She stopped packing and looked up at the window in front of her. She never turned around. She spoke with her back to him. She just stared out the window and spoke. "Of course you will see me again. But how could I stay with you Inuyasha? You can't even look at Taro or hold him. I know you love me and I will always love you, but it's not fair for me to act on that now. I chose to be Kouga's mate and I chose to have his family. I chose to love him. If you love me like you say, then why did you leave me that night?" she could already feel the tears begging to be let lose. She closed her eyes tight to keep them from escaping.

"What's night? What the fuck are you talking about Kagome?" He walked up to her and turned her around to face him. He could smell her tears that she wouldn't let escape.

"You left me all alone. Kouga was there for me. He has always been there for me." She couldn't hold back the tears. She cried and put her head down. She grabbed the yellow backpack and a blanket from Taro's crib. She walked to her room to get some clothes for herself.

As she was packing she heard a knock on the door and then saw her mother and Souta standing in the doorway with a small blue duffle bag looking bag. "Neechan" Souta yelled as he ran towards his sister and nephew. Then he saw Inuyasha walk out of Kagome's room in his red outfit. "Inu-no-oniichan" he yelled running towards the dog youkai.

Inuyasha stopped and let Souta hug his leg. He looked over towards Kagome then sat on the floor. "Oi brat. You're getting bigger." He messed up Souta's hair and put on a fake smile.

Kagome walked up to her mother and gave her Taro. "Momma can you please hold him while I finish packing." She turned from her mother and went to pack clothes for herself.

"I got you something else" Mrs. Higurashi yelled to Kagome, "I got a playpen. It's light and good for traveling. I thought you could use it." She looked down at her grandson. "You're leaving already?"

"Hai" Kagome called from her room. She came out with the yellow backpack on her back. "Arigato, for the playpen momma. I'm sure Taro will love it." She took her son from her mother. "Say bye to Grandma and Uncle Souta, Taro." She smiled and turned to Inuyasha. "Inuyasha can you take the playpen?" He nodded and they were out the door. She turned to wave to her family and walking in the well house with Inuyasha behind.

When they were inside the well house, Kagome turned to Inuyasha. "I have to tell you something before we go through." She waited for him to acknowledge that he was listening. He looked up at her. "I want you to know that I'm sorry for yelling. I didn't mean to get so mad. I also want you to know that I love Kouga and I love Taro and they are my family now." She paused before she continued and looked down. "If you really love me you won't try to change my mind. Please promise me." She looked at him waiting for an answer.

He was angry. She was telling him that she was choosing this life because of him. She didn't even tell him why. "No! I won't promise. I won't accept it. Fuck that you can't tell me you love me and then say we can never be together." He turned and jumped into the well.

Kagome waited a couple minutes after he left. She was confused but understood his anger. She just stared at the well for a while after he left. 'Things will be better this way. He would have just left me again.' She felt tears but wiped them away with the back of her hand. She held Taro close to her and jumped into the well.

Back in Sengoku Jidai

Kagome sat at the bottom of the well. She knew there was no way she could climb out with Taro and her backpack. Then she remembered the playpen. 'Shit! Inuyasha's has Taro's playpen.' She sighed and thought of a way to get out. She looked up at the blue sunny sky and the wolf youkai looking down at her. She smiled back up at him.

"Oi Do you need help?" He asked but he was already jumping down to meet her. He kissed her forehead and held her to him. He thought the events of moments ago were strange but knew he understood. 'She came back to me!' His smile grew the more he thought about it.

Quick Flashback

Kouga sat next to well with Hakkaku and Ginta still by his side. It had been almost a week since she left and Inuyasha went after her. 'What if they don't come back? What if she decides to stay with dog face in her time with Taro?' He never moved from his spot the entire week. He just sat and waited.

Then he heard noise in the well but he smelled Inuyasha. 'Could she have..?' he stopped his thoughts. 'She wouldn't rut with the dog. She was his.' Then Inuyasha came out the well. Kouga stood up and walked up to him.

"Well? Where is she dog face?" he asked, walking forward. Then he noticed that Inuyasha had a sad look on his face.

Inuyasha stopped in front of him and threw the blue bag with the playpen at his feet. "She'll be coming through the well soon." He walked away leaving Kouga still standing with a shocked look on his face.

End Quick Flashback

He leapt out of the well with his mate in one arm and Taro in the other. When they got to the top, he set Kagome down by the blue bag and handed Taro to her. "Inuyasha left this. I don't know what it is." He sat down next to Kagome waiting for her to explain the bag.

She smiled at him. 'Inuyasha came here? I wonder what he said to Kouga. They didn't fight.' She then went back to Kouga's question. "It's called a playpen. You fold it and put it in this bag. It's a bed for Taro. My mother got it for us."

Kouga looked confused. "Why would put the pup in a bag?" Kagome giggled at him and shock her head.

"No the bed is inside the bag. Here hold Taro and I'll show you." She handed him the baby and opened the bag. After some unfolding, the playpen was in front of them. "See?"

Kouga looked at it with fear. "You're going to put him in a box?"

"No it keeps him from hurting himself. Don't worry he will love it let's just go home I'm so tired." She put the playpen back in the bag and stood.

"Kouga what happened when Inuyasha gave you Taro's bed?" Kagome asked.

"Nothing. He just said you were coming why?" He was already suspicious of Inuyasha's sad attitude. He knew Kagome would never be unfaithful to him. After all she was his mate.

Kagome just looked at him and replied. "No reason." Then she waited for him to follow to their home. Kouga walked up behind her and stood next to her.

Kouga took her bag and handed Taro back to Kagome. "Ginta here take this. Hakkaku take this." He handed Ginta the playpen and Hakkaku the yellow backpack. Then her picked up his mate and pup and ran towards the den.

When he got back to the den, Kagome put Taro in his playpen and went to sleep herself. Kouga watched his family sleep and sat down by the fire to think. 'She came back to me. She really loves me. Maybe that means she is ready to have more pups. No it's probably too soon. She's just a human. But she's mine. Now I have my family back. I wonder what was wrong with dogface he looked sad. Who cares, I have my family back and that's all that matters.' Kouga moved over to where Kagome lay on futon. He laid next to her and put his arm around her. He held her close and closed his eyes to go to sleep.
