Kagome's P.O.V

I inched myself out of the well and walked outside. I haven't seen my family for at least a week now! I got to the front door and slid it open. "Mom! I'm home!" I yelled. "Kagome! Your back! It's so good to see you!" my mom pulled me into a tight bear hug. "Uh..mom…can't…breath" I said in a raspy voice. "I'm sorry sweetie!" "Is grandpa or Souta here?" "No, grandpa is out visiting a friend of his out of town so he won't be back for a couple of days and Souta is at a friends for dinner and they're going to do homework together. So, it's just you and me!" "Alright, what are we having for dinner I'm starved!"

My mom and I sat at the table and talked for quite some time. "So, what has happened while you were in the feudal era?" my mom asked happily. "Well, I've been dieing to tell you! Me and the gang defeated Naraku and, the jewel is completely restored!" the jewel! I wonder where it is….it's probably in backpack, I'll get it later. "So, does that mean you won't be going back to that dangerous place?" my mom asked hopefully. "Are you kidding! Of course I'm going to go back! I can't just leave everybody! Besides, Shippou needs me! I'm like his mother!" well even though Shippou did need me, I really wanted to go back for Inuyasha. "Oh." My mom said quietly. "I'm sorry mom, I just can't suddenly leave them. They're my friends. No, not just friends they're like family. My home away from home, you know?" I knew my mom wasn't happy but I knew that she understood how I felt. "Well if you care about it that much then I won't stop you!" "Thanks mom! I'm going to go to bed, so, I'll see you in the morning!" I gave her a quick hug and ran up stairs to my room.

Once I was in my pajamas and I had brushed my teeth, I sat on the edge of my bed and set my alarm for school tomorrow. I lay down on my soft bed. Oh how I did miss sleeping in my cozy sheets. It certainly beat sleeping on the hard ground outside! Who am I kidding! I loved sleeping outside under the stars. Especially with Inuyasha there. Inuyasha was my last thought as I drifted off to sleep.

BRRRIIIINNNNGGG! THAT HORRID ALARM CLOCK! I was having a good dream too! Oh well, I needed to go to school. I was most likely failing every class possible! I got off my bed, put my uniform on, and headed to the bathroom to finish getting ready. I went down stairs and walked into the kitchen. My mom was already there, drinking her coffee and reading the paper. "Good-morning Kagome" "Morning mom!" I opened the cupboard and pulled out a couple pieces of toast and popped them in the toaster. "Where is Souta, mom?" I asked while I waited for my toast. "Oh he called last night and told me that he was going to stay the night and then go to school with his friend." "Oh…alright" Pop! I grabbed my toast and ate it quickly because I needed to get to school.

I finally got to the school grounds and I saw Ayami, Eri, and Yuka standing at the front doors talking amongst themselves. "Hey you guys!" I yelled "KAGOME!" they all said at once. "Oh my god, Kagome, we haven't seen you in forever!" Yuka screamed "How are you! Feeling better?" Eri questioned. "Yah I'm feeling better everyday!" I lied, I wonder what gramps told them this time! "Well at least it's not as bad as all of your other illnesses!" What a relief! I'm so glad gramps didn't say anything to horrible. Briiiing Briiinng! "There goes the bell we'd better get to class! I'll see you guys later!"

School was completely uneventful! I left my last class and headed out the front doors. "Hey Kagome!" I turned around to see Hojo running up to me. "Hi Hojo." "Kagome! It seems like centuries since I last saw you!" technically…he was right…about 5 centuries to be exact. "How's your flu? I hope your getting better" A flu huh? I guess gramps hasn't got any more ideas. " Yah, I'm all better!" "Great! How would you like to go to the movies next Friday?" I was hoping to go back to the feudal era on Thursday! "Um, I'm really sorry Hojo but, I'm really busy that weekend!" Hojo's seemed like he was totally crushed! I felt really bad! "oh…ok…well maybe next week then!" Nothing seems to stop this boy! "Maybe" I replied. "If it's not too much trouble, could I at least walk you home?" Hojo asked hopefully "uhh…sure" Sure, Hojo was cute, but I didn't like him that way! I just felt bad that I turned him down. He's just so bland and cautious. The TOTAL opposite of Inuyasha!

The walk home was nice. We talked about school and just random things. When we got to the top of the steps, we both stopped. "Thank you, Hojo!" I smiled graciously. "You have a very pretty smile!" I blushed "Umm thanks! Well I got to be getting inside. Thanks again, Hojo!" I began to walk away but he grabbed my arm and pulled me back. Then he kissed me! Why on earth did he just do that! We were NOT going out and I was in love with INUYASHA! Not Hojo! IN-U-YASSHHA! I pushed away and slapped him! "I'm so sorry Kagome, I don't know what came over me! You're just so…so…" I didn't let him finish. I just walked away and went into the house. I leaned against the door. I was totally in shock! I wonder what Inuyasha would have done if he just saw that?

"KAGOME HIGURASHI! Get yourself into the kitchen NOW!" what did I do? Uh oh… I think she saw Hojo kiss me! Now I'm in for it! I slowly walked into the kitchen. I saw my mom waiting for my by the window. "What do you think you were doing, young lady?" "What did I do?" I knew very well what I did but I had to ask just in case it was something different…YAH RIGHT. "I just saw you kiss that Hojo boy! What were you thinking! You know what I've told you about boys! All boys only have one thing on their mind and you know what that is!" "Mom! I didn't kiss him! He kissed me! AND… I slapped him for it…or did you not see that part!" I was kind of mad! My mom accused ME of kissing HIM. Though I don't blame her, she hasn't exactly had her share of good men. Unlike me! Years ago, when I was only about 6 years old, my mom caught my dad sleeping with another women and she divorced him right away. Since then, all she's done is tell me that men are total pigs and that they only have one thing on their mind. Sex. Well I knew she was wrong the day I fell in love with Inuyasha. That was the last thing on his mind! Maybe not Miroku, but Inuyasha was not that kind of guy!

But I think that's because of his demon blood. Demons mate for life so he wouldn't just go around sleeping with every girl he laid eyes on! My mom was still yelling at me! "Look mom, I'm sorry, ok! I didn't want him to kiss me, he just … did! But just to let you know, not all men are pigs!" I screamed "Oh and how would you know! You're only 17 Kagome!" my mom yelled back "Age does NOT matter! I've already fallen in love and there is NOTHING you can do about it!" I yelled "Its Inuyasha isn't it!" my mom questioned. "Yes! Yes it is! He's sweet, protective and he cares about me!" Well I hope he cares about me. I can't believe I just told my mom that I loved Inuyasha! I ran up the stairs and into my room.

I was so furious with my mom! I could feel the tears burning in my eyes. I had to go back to Inuyasha! I just had to! I started to re-pack my bag quickly so I could get out of there as soon as I could. While my mom wasn't looking, I raced into the kitchen and grabbed some chocolate Pocky for Shippou and put it into my bag. "Mom, I'm going back to Inuyasha whether you like it or not!" with that I raced out the door and opened the door to the well house. Thank god I'd be able to see Inuyasha soon. I lept into the well but I just hit the ground. Why couldn't I get back through? I felt around my neck. I don't have the jewel! I must have left it in the village! How will I ever get back? I began to cry and I moved into the corner and sobbed into my hands.

Inuyasha's P.O.V

It has only been 2 days since Kagome has left and I miss her terribly! I walked into the hut where she lasts slept and sat on her bed. It still smelled of Kagome. I didn't want to leave that spot. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw something shimmer beside me. I slowly picked up and realized it was the jewel. Kagome left it here. But how did she get through the well to go back to her own time without it? Right then Kaede walked into the hut. "Are ye alright, Inuyasha?" "Yeah I'm alright." Kaede began to leave the hut. "Hey Kaede?" "Yes, Inuyasha?" "I just found the jewel beside Kagome's bed, how did she get through the well without it?" "Going back to Lady Kagome's time through our well does not require such magic. But since she had the jewel shards with her all the time ye never noticed." "Oh, ok, I think I'm going to go and get Kagome… that wench is taking to long! Be sure to tell everyone where I've gone."

I made my way to the well and look down just incase she was standing there. When I saw that no one was there, I Jumped into the well but nothing happened. I looked up and still saw the blue sky. I leapt out of the well and tried again, and again, and again but I couldn't get through. I jumped in one last time and waited for a few minutes. I looked up again but only saw the night sky. Why couldn't I get through! WHY! I couldn't help it, I felt tears burning in the back of my eyes. What if I won't be able to see Kagome again! Just at the thought made the tears roll down my cheeks. I was not one to cry. But I couldn't help myself! I dropped the jewel on the ground and continued to cry. One of my tear drops splashed onto the jewel and it began to glow. The light grew brighter and brighter until a figure appeared in the well. "Who are you?" Inuyasha asked. "I am the spirit of the Shikon no Tama. Why are you crying?" "I'm not crying!" Inuyasha protested. The spirit just stared at him. "You may ask one wish and one wish only. Then the jewel will be purified and will cease to exist." I knew I had always wanted to become a full fledged demon but that didn't matter to me anymore! All that mattered to me was seeing Kagome again He was afraid that he might not see Kagome ever again. Tears began to well up inside me again from the thought. "Have you made your decision?" the spirit asked impatiently. I nodded. "I wish…I wish that I could get through the well and see Kagome again." "Are you sure? If that is your true wish I must warn you, you will never be able to come back to you own time ever again." "I DON'T CARE! KAGOME MEANS EVERY THING TO ME!" "Very well" the spirit began to pray and a blue light surrounded me. "Good bye, Sango, Miroku, and Shippou. We will find away to see you again" I whispered. The blue light evaporated and I was in the modern era. I looked across to see Kagome sobbing in the corner. I gently put my finger under her chin and lifter her head up. "Inuyasha!...INUYASHA!" Kagome grabbed my kimono and pulled me into her arms. I wrapped my arms around her and whispered. "I'll be with you always!"
