Chapter 3 – Mother to Daughter

Kagome paced back and forth in front of the well. She didn't know what to do! She had said all that stuff to Inuyasha, and she had left the jewel shards in his hands while she walked out, she couldn't possibly go back. She would look like an idiot.
But she couldn't even bare the thought of leaving Inuyasha. Even if all they would ever be was friends, she couldn't possibly leave him and try to forget. It just wasn't possible. Her heart burned deep with the passion she had for him, and to forget him like that tore at her mind.
A single tear streamed down her face and fell from her chin. Several more came, and she didn't stop them. She kneeled down, hands over her face, and let it all out. Hopefully, Inuyasha would come for her and stop her. Stop her before she jumped in.

Inuyasha stared wide eyed down at the bottled of shards in his hand. He didn't know how long he had stared at it, but it didn't matter. Again he had hurt Kagome, and badly. All of the times had been bad, but this time it seemed he had crossed the line. He had to find her, make her feel better. He knew what he was going to do.
Clenching the shards tight in his hand, he looked up, his eyes fierce. He started for the door.
"Inuyasha, wait." Miroku cut in, putting one hand on the hanyou's chest to hold him back.
"What?" he snapped. He had no time for the monk and his lecherous thoughts.
"Inuyasha, I don't think you should go after her."
"And why the hell is that?"
"Because she is angry and shes hurt. If you go there, all you will achieve is being sat more than times than you can count. Let her go back to her own time, and let her have a break from this era. Let her have a break from you."
"The hell with that." He growled, and tore out of the hut.
He tore through the trees and bushes, heading for the well. He wouldn't—couldn't—let Kagome go back thinking he didn't love her. He couldn't, and wouldn't. He would stop her, he would…he would…what would he do? What could he say? He couldn't tell her he loved her. Not yet. If his enemies knew…then they could harm her to get to him. He wouldn't—couldn't—let that happen.
Reaching the well he came to a trot. He knew that smell anywhere, she was crying. He came up to a tree and peered around the trunk.
As he had already known, she was kneeling on the ground, hands over her face. A tear passed her hands and ran down her cheek, dropping from her jaw. His bottom lip quivered. He had never seen her cry like this, and it tore his heart to pieces.
Kagome…I'm so sorry…
Miroku was right. He would wait a couple days, let her take a break, and go to her. He didn't care. He had to tell her, he wasn't going to let her leave him. He wouldn't. He couldn't.

The next morning, he peered over the side of the tree, seeing no sleeping bag with the slumbering Kagome inside it. He had felt so dead that whole night, alone without Kagome's luring essence that wrapped itself around him. It felt like part of his soul was gone, having Kagome not there to comfort him with just her very presence.
She had been gone before, to go back to her own era to go to school and get caught up. But this time was different. She wasn't coming back, she was staying, thinking that Inuyasha didn't love her. Thinking he cared nothing of her, and her only purpose to him was to serve as a jewel collector.
He couldn't —and wouldn't—let her think that. Tomorrow he would go to her, tomorrow he would comfort her, and tomorrow he would admit his undying love for her. He leaned back, hands crossed under his head. With Kagome here, by now he would have woken everyone up, but he wasn't going to move an inch until she was back here with him. For good.

Kagome wiped her eyes. She couldn't tell her mom that she loved Inuyasha, and he had yet again hurt her.
She walked out of the well house. Her mother had an old tattered apron on, shovel in hand with gloves on and was working away at the garden.
Her mother looked up and smiled.
"Kagome your home!" she said, and stood up. She took off the gloves and walked over. Kagome's eyes watered. She needed comfort, and her mother was the only person that could give it.
"Oh, mom." Her voice wavered, and she threw her arms around her mother's neck, sobbing against the apron.
Her mother stood there in confusion for a second, then smiled and hugged Kagome back.
"Whats the matter, dear?" she asked softly. Hearing her mother's sweet voice was almost to much for her to handle. No matter what had happened her mother was always there for her.
They sat on the couch, Kagome thanked the lord that her brother was at the store with their gramps. She was glad to have the house just to herself with her mother. She knew if Sota was home, he would be asking a million questions.
But just thinking of him made her smile. She never realized how long she had been gone from home. A couple months ago, Sota was up to her waist, but now he had grown a good three inches and his features had changed to make him look a bit older. But he was still the same Sota, still looking up to the baka Inuyasha.
Thinking of Inuyasha made her heart slam against her ribs, and more tears began to stream slowly down her face.
"Dear, tell me whats wrong." Her mother said, stroking her cheek softly. Oh how she wished Inuyasha would do that to her. How she longed for Inuyasha to touch her like he did Kikyo.
Kagome gagged, a sick acid taste filling her mouth. She stood up and ran for the bathroom, leaning over the toilet.

"Mom, is sis gonna be ok?" Sota tugged on his mother's sleeve and she prepared a cool rag for Kagome's forehead.
"She's going to be fine, dear. She just over did it a bit." His mother replied and patted him on the head. She walked out of the bathroom and went into Kagome's room quietly. She kneeled by her bed and laid the rag on Kagome's heated forehead.
Kagome's eyes were closed, her mother was glad to know she was asleep. She had been throwing up for an hour now, on and off. Hope fully she would sleep well.

The next day Inuyasha ran for the well, not waisting time to tell the others that he was going. He didn't hesitate to jump into the well on first sight, and he was cast into the time portal.
In seconds he was on the other side, and jumped out of the well. He cracked the door of the well house open and peeked out. No one around.
He opened it up and started for her house.
He climbed on the tree that was closest to her window.
He had many memories of this tree, waiting outside her window for her to wake up so he could drag her back through the well. All that time, and all this time she had thought that all he meant to her was a jewel collector.
She wouldn't think that no longer.
A single drop of sweat rolled down his forehead, and dripped off his chin. He shut his eyes tight, then opened them back up. He was ready.
He jumped onto the window sill, cracked it open, and silently landed on the floor.
He looked over and stepped back. Kagome was lying her bed, a wet rag on her forehead.
He kneeled down, pressing two fingers against her pulse point.
She was burning up. He grinned, yet again she had gotten herself sick. And all for him.
He sighed, and rested his chin on his palm, gazing at the slumbering girl.
She was so gorgeous. Her face was a bit pale, but even in sickness, she was more beautiful than any woman in the fuedal era. More beautiful than Kikyo.
He remembered the first day he met her.
Inuyasha's eyes slid open, blazing with hatred. Hatred that was fifty years old, and yet burned in his heart like the day he was cast with a spell to the tree.
He looked around, seeing no one.
"The smell…the smell of her who killed me…" he grinned, "…is coming closer…"
She ran into the opening, her face plastered with fear. After her came a demon centipede.
No match…
She fell to her knees, and peered up, meeting with his look of pure hatred. He grinned again.
"Why toy with second-raters like Mistress Centipede?" he spat.
"…huh…?" she said, eyes wide. "W-who…are you…?"
"Destroy her with a single blast, Kikyo." His grin widened, eyes narrowing, "Besides, you did it to me…"
The girl glared at him, and stood up, "Why do you guys keep calling me 'Kikyo'?" she growled, "My name is—"
"She's coming." Inuyasha cut her off, looking up.
The girl turned, just in time to have the centipede-woman grab her by the waist.
"Draw!" yelled the elderly woman, several arrows flying at the demon.
Kagome fell to her knees again, covering her head with her arms.
He frowned, "Really Kikyo, I'm disappointed."
"Listen you…I don't know who this Kikyo is, except that she's not me." She was now standing in front of him, face to face, her mouth persed in a tiny slit. "My name is Kagome! Ka-go-me."
"Do you expect me to believe that I wouldn't know the stench of the woman that…" he narrowed his eyes, then looked away in disgust, "You're not her…"
"Good, get it now?"
"Feh. I'm not a fool after all. Kikyo looked intelligent…and she was prettier."
"Y-you…!"
He had lied. Kikyo wasn't more beautiful than Kagome. It was the other way around. Kikyo did have a beautiful face, her hair long and smooth hair. But Kagome was more. She had personality. She had a gorgeous smile, one that lit up a darkened room. And the way the skirt fit nicely around her waist would make any man pant like a dog.
He grinned. Maybe he was spending too much time with that lecherous monk.
He broke himself from his thoughts, focusing on the present again.
He listened to her breathing, even, each breath she took he was falling deeper in love with her. He leaned forward, nose to nose with her. He lightly pressed his lips against hers then pulled back.
He gasped, his eyes widening.
Her eyes were open.
"D-did you just…"
