The title makes this story sound so completely dramatic, but it won't be that dramatic. It going to be comical too so don't worry and there will be plenty of Inuyasha and Kagome romance.

Chapter 2: Going back to the modern era

Kagome stomped to the well. She was honestly more than TOO tired of her and Inuyasha's immature arguments. Geez, if she says she's going home than she's going, no matter how many sits it cost her companion. He should know that by now.

Kagome placed one hand on the well. He should definitely know that by now. Not that Kagome minded him getting angry so much. He looked so good when he was angry or pouting. It turned her on... Kagome stopped for a second and groaned. She had definitely being hanging around 'the booty grabbing boogie man' to much.

Kagome looked back once more and prepared for her leap into the well.

"Hey wait!" Kagome stopped herself and moaned in agitation. Inuyasha never gave up. "Where do you think you're going wench?"

"Inuyasha! I'm going already. So stop trying to keep me here." Her lips pursed and Inuyasha knew she was going to say the 'sit' word again. Inuyasha covered her mouth with his hand quickly. She glared.

"Just ramen. We don't have time for you to take these test things right now."

"Inuyasha!" Kagome said again as she tugged Inuyasha's hand from her mouth. "Just let me go these two or three days. You guys can hang out and relax for a little while. I haven't been back in a month and I'm asking to stay for two-three days. Is that so much to ask for?" Inuyasha bit his lip in thought. Two or three days wasn't that big of a deal. He supposed if it made Kagome happy he could do it.

"Feh." He crossed his arms. "Naraku could slaughter ten villages in that time."

"Oh and since when do you care. You're only out for the jewel shards. Humph." Kagome turned back to the well. "Now if you'll excuse me." Kagome went to jump in but hands wrapped around her waist and began to pull her back.

"Oh no you don't." He pulled her and she held onto the well. He tried pulling her away from the well, but she was holding on tight.

"Oh yes I do."

"No."

"Yes."

"Wench." Inuyasha warned.

"Jerk."

"Weak human."

"Baka-yasha."

"Baka-miko."

"Let go."

"You let go."

"You're the one holding me."

"You're the one holding the well."

"My mom is going to be worried. I've been gone for so long."

"Who cares. She'll get over it."

"So will you."

"But those dead villagers won't."

"Let go."

"You."

"You"

"Kagome!"

"Inuyasha!" Kagome let go, no longer able to hold on and her and Inuyasha went tumbling back. They landed in a heaping mess. Once they untangled themselves they sat up rubbing their heads. Kagome grunted in pain. "Baka, baka, baka!"

"Wench." Inuyasha crossed his arms.

"Sit, sit, sit, sit, sit!"

THUMP x5

Kagome stood tall and walked over to the well. She tossed her backpack in there.

"Goodbye Inuyasha. See you in four days." Kagome jumped into the well, leaving a growling Inuyasha behind. What did she take him for? He had no problems getting to her time and getting her. He would just take her back by force.

Inuyasha would let her stay for now. He'd give her enough time to get ramen and supplies, but as soon as he figured she got it he'd go and retrieve her. He'd give her one day and one night.

Inuyasha got up now that the spell had worn off and headed towards the woods.

Meanwhile

Kagome threw her bag up and over the well. She pulled herself out afterwards and sighed. She really disliked sitting Inuyasha. He only wanted her to stay there. Was that so harmful? So much to ask for?

She decided it was better not to keep him on her mind. After all she had come back to get the feudal era off of her mind. Why would she want to keep thinking about things that only succeeded in stressing her out?

"Kagome you're back." Gramps called out to her. She looked over to him and smiled.

"Hey!" She hugged him quickly. "Where's everyone else?"

"They're inside."

"Alright."

Meanwhile

Inuyasha was still annoyed and his face was pounding. He barely felt pain when he was a hanyou, but still... The thought of having his face slammed into the ground was no picnic.

A familiar, cold scent hit his nose. He looked around, until he found what he was looking for. The soul gatherers that belonged to the dead priestess, known as Kikyo, were floating around.

He was drawn to her, as he always was. He made his way to where her soul collectors hovered in the air. It wasn't long before he came to a clearing. He looked around. Kikyo was no where in site.

Then she appeared up in an old oak tree. Her form appeared out of no where and she was looking toward Inuyasha.

"Kikyo.."

"Inuyasha you have come after all. I would have thought that now that you and Kagome.."

"Kagome." Inuyasha turned away from Kikyo and took a deep breath. For a moment he had forgotten Kagome again. 'I have to snap out of it. Kagome needs me now. Kikyo and me are over.' Inuyasha wanted to walk off, but he felt so much pity for the miko behind him. She had died all alone, in thought of being betrayed by him. He would have never betrayed her. He would never had betrayed anyone. He was an honest, blunt hanyou man.

"So you will chose her than? You have chosen to forget me? You have chosen..."

"Kagome. I have chosen Kagome, Kikyo. You have to understand..."

"Inuyasha I own your life. After Naraku's defeat I will take you to hell with me.."

"No.."

"You have no choice and no way to object. You will come. Whether or not it cost the life of her." Kikyo disappeared.

Inuyasha turned abruptly at Kikyo's last statement. What exactly had she meant by that? Did she mean to kill Kagome..? Just like Inuyasha's dreams... were they warnings? He feared this. The last thing he wanted was to lose someone as dear to him as Kagome was. Just the thought of never seeing her smile or hearing her laughter or smelling her scent was enough to depress him.

He would have to be careful and make sure Kikyo got no where near Kagome. He wasn't so sure Kikyo was very avoidable though. Kikyo was slick and could appear anywhere at anytime with those soul gathers of hers. The only sure fire way to make sure she got no where near Kagome was to kill her and for Inuyasha that wasn't an option. He would most likely never be able to bring himself to kill his old care. Kikyo.

He sighed. Their conversation had been short, yet left him with so much to think about... so much to worry about. He hated this constant insecurity. His dreams were far from helping. They were only making things ten times as worse. In fact they were what had given him most of his doubt and confusion.

Maybe it was better to find Kagome now and stay by her side or maybe he could just leave her in the modern era... He stopped that thought immediately. He knew she would refuse to stay there for to long. She would be much to worried about him and the others. He would be bored out of his mind and he wouldn't be able to stay in her era all the time to protect her. It wasn't like there was no danger in the modern era, because there was and from Inuyasha's many visits he knew this. The news had been very helpful in pointing out each specific danger.

Inuyasha entered Kaede's village finally. He went straight to her hut where the others would be. When he entered he found Sango and Miroku in a conversation. He paid little attention to what they were talking about. It was unimportant to him at the moment.

Kaede seemed to also be caught up in their conversation. She pealed some corn. She was preparing it for later. Shippo sat beside Kirara and they looked tired. Inuyasha found that a little odd since they hadn't had much battles lately.

"A festival?" Shippo's voice shouted excitedly. This got Inuyasha's attention.

"What the hell are you all blabbering on about?" Inuyasha questioned rudely.

"A festival Inuyasha." Miroku began.

"We will be holding a festival here in a few days. People from around Edo will be coming." Kaede added.

"What for?"

"It's just a celebration. We have held one here every year for 50 years..." She stopped.

"50 years, eh?" Inuyasha stood and brushed his pants off. Everything took place when he was pinned to the tree. Everything had changed and 50 years of his life were wasted. He hated this.

"Yes, will you be attending?"

"No." Inuyasha was snappy. He walked out of the hut and the others stared at where he walk with a slight confusion. They hadn't expected that kind of reaction from him. They would have thought he would be a little excited to get to be closer to Kagome.

"I believe he's merely angry because the tradition started after he was pinned to the tree. Perhaps he think we were celebrating because of his passing?"

"Kaede, how come we do have the celebration?" Sango asked.

"It's been a tradition - as I said - for 50 years. 50 years back a great demon was destroyed... this demon was a large killer and spared no lives. He despised all humans and hanyous alike. No one was good enough for him. When it had finally passed on we were beyond relief. No more innocent people would have to be killed at the hands of the murderous beast."

"Who killed it?" Shippo wondered out loud.

"That we are unsure of. It is actually said that Sesshomaru was the one. Inuyasha's older brother. I believe the demon had entered Sesshomaru's lands and sought control. Sesshomaru would - of course - not allow this and so he destroyed the retched beast."

"But Sesshomaru is also bad.."

"Aye, though he is bad, he is not completely evil. His is more of the type who likes people to stay away from him and out of his business. He only kills you if you are an annoyance or harm. Like this beast he does not mindlessly kill."

"I see."

That's the end of that chapter. I am a little disappointed that not many people have told me how they feel about this fan fiction so far, but I am grateful to those who have!
