Chapter 3: This Has To Be Goodbye

Inuyasha jumped up to Kagome's roof sill and slid open her window. He had given her the day and night he had agreed upon giving her. It was time to take her back. He understood perfectly well that she would not go easily and would most likely try to sit him, but he would not lose this time. He could not! He was a man after all.

Inuyasha could hear humming coming from the hallway, along with light footsteps coming towards Kagome's room. 'Shit! I haven't thought of anything to say yet!' Inuyasha looked around quickly and the first thing the came to mind was the closet. As the footsteps came closer he ran for it. He slid it open and shut it as soon as he was secured in. A few seconds later the door opened.

Kagome walked in and shut the door behind her. She was wearing two towels. One on her head and one around her body. 'Ah, that was a nice bath.' She thought as she walked over to her dresser. She swished the towel on her head around and then removed it to reveal messy, yet conditioned hair.

The young miko picked up a brush and began to brush it through her hair. 'I'm going to need to study some tonight. The test is going to be complicated.' She brushed out all of the knots in her hair. It was fairly simple, considering the conditioner worked wonders. She sighed and stood up. It was now time to get dressed. Kagome dropped the towel to the ground and walked over to her closet...

Meanwhile

"Sota, you should be heading off to bed now." Mrs. Higurashi told her only son. "You have school in the morning so enough video games for one night."

"Alright mom.." The boy moaned in disapointment.

"AHHH!" Was heard from upstairs.

"Was that Kagome?" Mrs. Higurashi asked.

"Yeah. I'm sure she's fine."

Meanwhile

Inuyasha stared at the miko with wide eyes. He had not expected to see her nude when she had opened the closet. He hoped she would have not opened it at all. A blush appeared on both of their faces at this most embarrassing moment.

"K... Kagome!" Inuyasha turned away as quickly as he could, but the image was cemented into Inuyasha's head. His face was bright red, just as bright as Kagome's.

"What are you doing in my closet?" Kagome screamed as she grabbed the towel she had dropped and rewrapped it around her body.

"I.. I... came to bring you back!"

"I told you I wasn't coming back for four days!"

"And I told you that you weren't staying that long."

"Since when do you make the calls?"

"You're coming back with me!" Inuyasha grabbed her arm and began dragging her over to her window. She tried to pull away, but it was useless with Inuyasha's strength.

"Let me go!" Kagome struggled even farther. Inuyasha growled in annoyance. "Sit!" Inuyasha's eyes widened. 'The fool!' He thought as he went slamming into the ground, dragging Kagome down with him. Kagome moaned in pain, but sat up. Inuyasha however was stuck to the ground for a little while longer.

"Baka!"

"Stop trying to get me to go back! I have things that I need to do here! This is my own time and I have to live here every now and than, you know?" Inuyasha growled again and got up with Kagome. He stared into her stubborn eyes and turned his back to her. She tightened the towel around her body and kept one hand up to support it while the other was on her waist.

"Fine than. Stay the four days. See if I care. Stay forever." He jumped out her window, heading for the well.

Kagome frowned, staring at the place of his departure. He sounded so lonely. She pushed back the urge to comfort him and began dressing herself. 'He should no by now that when I make uo my mind it's made up...' As she tried conviencing herself that she had done nothing wrong, she found her efforts futile.

Changing the subject, Kagome decided she wanted to have a snack and some warm tea, but could she really leave Inuyasha in such a saddened state.

Meanwhile

Trotting though the forest, Inuyasha kicked twigs and sticks here and there. His rage came out in his actions. He just wanted to be with the miko. Why couldn't she see that? Kagome was special to him.

When Inuyasha's mind entered a fantasy land he denied attention to where his was going. After some time his nose picked up the scent of a certain dead priestess. The hanyou was sure he had told her earlier that he did not want to be with her. What was she doing back?

Walking forward, Inuyasha exited the woods, only to come across a familiar river. His mind clouded over as memories flashed. The air tensed and then calmed. The smell of this was still the same as it had been so many years earlier. These were happy times. Happy times with Kikyo. His and Kikyo's first kiss. They had only had two. One when she was alive and one when she was dead.

There was only enough of a breeze to make someone feel serene. Turning his head, Inuyasha saw Kikyo as she stared into the river. Her long, ebony hair blew to her side in its down pony-tail. Her face did not seem so pale in the sky over head.

Inuyasha's heart raced. He had not seen Kikyo look so gentle since before he was pinned to the tree. It was as though she was back to her old self. He stood there for at least ten minutes before anyone spoke.

"Inuyasha, I must apologize." Kikyo turned her head to face the hanyou. Inuyasha's heart clenched. The look in her eyes gave him to feeling of pity. Him and Kikyo shared a mutual feeling and could sympathize with each other. "I have been so cruel to you since I came back to life."

"Kikyo..."

"Allow me these words?" Inuyasha nodded at her request and she continued. "I would follow you to the ends of the Earth back then. You were... you were everything to me and that includes my greatest weakness." Inuyasha did not know where all of this was coming from, but he could do nothing but listen to her as she went on about the past. "Do you remember this place?"

"Of course."

"This is where I learned that I love you..." She stopped herself and looked at the half demon to see how vhe would take to the words. "When I felt you had betrayed my my heart shattered. I thought that all my senses were wrong. I should have never gotten close to anyone. I never planned to, but you came along. The stubborn hanyou Inuyasha who wanted to become a full fledged demon. You and I were a lot alike. That is why I allowed myself to get so close to you. It was fate that we met." Where was she going with this? "You see... Kagome was meant to come to this time."

Hearing Kagome's name Inuyasha recieved a jolt of reality and stepped back, recalling Kikyo's threat.

"Kagome must take the jewel when it is completely and bring it to her time and never return. If she had never come back I would never have been reserected. So you see the jewel was just a tool. Kagome had it where it belonged - in the future where no demons lurked. Bringing it back here she awoke you and me and you learned to true story. Now we can peacefully die together and she can take the jewel back to where it should be, locked away in her time with her where no demons can get to it." At first Inuyasha was confused, but reconized what she was trying to say.

"No, Kikyo. I am not going to go to hell with you."

"But Inuyasha..." She protested.

"You'll be hurt being with her!"

"If I am with her I will take the chance."

"Do you not love me Inuyasha?"

"I... I don't know." Inuyasha looked down, shame-faced.

"You coward! After all we have been through. Look me in the eye at least." Kikyo glared. It seemed tears would brim her eyes. Inuyasha looked to her and walked over. He placed a hand on her shoulder and leaned down. Kikyo's eyes widened as he kissed her cold forehead and pulled back.

"This is it. All that has happened between the two of us. The jewel. Naraku. Love. This has to be goodbye. This has to be goodbye because I care about Kagome."

This was a fairly short chapter, but I found it to be dramatic. Over-dramatic maybe. It was okay all and all. I know most of you don't want to read about Kikyo, but I have come to realize over time and over my break from writing that as a writer I can not be biased on something. If I hate Kikyo then it will affect my writing and I do not want that to happen.
