Chapter Two
The Empty Void Grows Bigger And Painful
It's now been three months since Kagome left the Feudal Era. Everyone went their own separate ways. But they promised that they would stay in touch with each other. Shippo was adopted by Kaede's village. Inuyasha was asked to live there as well but he declined. He resides in the forest of Inuyasha but often wandering into the village as if he were looking for someone but to no avail. Miroku and Sango are engaged though they are still very depressed about their friend's departure and decided to hold off the wedding until things go back to as normal as they can. Kikyo returned to earth and bones and went to hell understanding that Kagome is Inuyasha's true destiny. Myoga comes around every once in a while to check up on Lord Inuyasha's progress. Everyday he seemingly getting more and more depressed. He decided that he had it he has to see her one last time.
It was a late evening that Inuyasha decided to sneak down the well to see her.
He snuck down the well and arrived at the well house at Kagome's shrine. He scattered towards her front door. It was late but early enough that he knew she was still out with her friends. (( A/N: its summer time no school at least not yet)). He rang her doorbell. He didn't smell her he knew she wasn't home. Her mother answered the door.
"Oh look its Inuyasha. I'm afraid Kagome isn't home dear, but I'll tell you stopped by."
"Wait. I wanna surprise her. I'm going to go wait in her room for her but you and anyone else can't tell her I'm waiting for her." Inuyasha said with pleading eyes.
"That may not be a smart idea dearest but I think she will be happy to see you. I will make sure no one tells Kagome you are waiting for her." Kagome's mom smiled and showed Inuyasha to Kagome's room. He never got in thru the front door to her room he always went through the window.
One Hour Later
"It's been an hour how long does Kagome stay out till? Geez. I guess she really doesn't miss everyone after all." Inuyasha started to doubt. What am I saying I know Kagome all to well she is probably not even enjoying herself I bet she just went out just to get used to not having me around to go home to. Inuyasha thought to himself.
Kagome walked in the room she didn't even notice Inuyasha was sitting on her bed she just walked over to her desk and plopped in the chair and started to cry. She pulled out her crystal dagger he had given her. She still did not realize he was sitting on her bed she was too weak and weary to feel the presence .
"Inuyasha, you promised. You promised that if I ever felt alone that all I needed to do was hold this dagger in my hands and you would be right here by my side. You haven't kept your promise. I've never let go of this dagger ever since I hit the ground on my side of the well. You said you would always be there for me when I needed you. But now when I need you the most your not here for me. YOU DIDN'T KEEP YOUR PROMISE INUYASHA!" She started crying hysterically.
Is this really what happened to Kagome. Is this what her life is like when I'm not there? He questioned himself.
All of a sudden Kagome felt a familiar warmth leaning on her back. She looked around her neck and there on her neck she saw hanging loosely around her were those clawed hands she had longed for. She heard a whisper in her ear.
"I'm here now don't cry. You know I seeing you cry." A familiar voice rang through her body. She suddenly felt much better. She felt that she wasn't sick anymore.
"INUYASHA!" she cried out in fits of tears of joy.
"I've missed you too. But I can't stay I have only come to say good bye. And to tell you this. This is not the last good bye you and I were fated to meet. Time will not throw our destiny to be together of course. Midoriko is at peace and the jewel ceases to exist." Inuyasha said bringing her into an embrace slowly lowering his head seeking a farewell kiss. With that he left out the window and down the well.
