Let the Past Become My Future: Chapter One: Leap Into the Well

Kagome woke to the sound of her alarm clock and stretched her sore body. She smiled. They had finally defeated Naraku, but her smile soon faded. 'Now what purpose do I have there?' She frowned. 'My work is complete, does Inuyasha even want me there anymore?' She got up and walked to her bathroom where she turned on the shower, undressed, and got in.

"Inuyasha…" She let the word slip across her lips. Her times with him over the past couple of years had been wonderful. His visits to see Kikyo had grown farther and farther apart. She got to spend more time alone with him. She was now eighteen and had graduated from high school. Now she would return to his time and wait for him to make his decision, which he had promised to do today. 'Will it be me? Or Kikyo?'

She finished her shower and got dressed in the old priestess robes Keade had given her, then dried and brushed her long hair which had grown down to her hips. She put on her shoes and ran down the stairs. As she left her house a feeling of dread entered the pit of her stomach. She ran to the well, took a deep breath, and took the leap that would begin the rest of her life.

Kagome traveled through time, back to the time she loved, the time she had begun to call home. She climbed out of the well and sat down next to it. 'It's so peaceful here… ' She closed her eyes and enjoyed the silence of the forest. When she opened her eyes though, her peace was interrupted by the soul collectors flying above the trees a few hundred yards in front of her. 'Kikyo..' She jumped from her spot on the ground and ran towards them, letting her curiosity get the best of her. 'I wonder if Inuyasha is with her… what if he chooses her?' The dreadful feeling she had felt earlier found its way back into her stomach. As she came to a small clearing in the forest, she saw Inuyasha there with Kikyo. She hid behind a bush begging her breath to steady for fear that they would hear her.

"Inuyasha, why do you come here?" Kikyo asked as she slowly walked towards him.

"I've made my decision, Kikyo."

"And?" Kikyo slithered her way closer.

"And, I have realized I owe you everything… you lost you're life because I couldn't protect you…" Inuyasha looked down and Kikyo pulled him towards her in a tight embrace before and kissed him passionately.

Kagome had seen enough. She jumped up from her hiding spot and ran towards the village crying till she saw Sango and Miroku.

"Kagome!" Sango rushed to her side. "What's wrong?"

"S..Sango…" Kagome sobbed "I can't stay here…"

"Why? What is going on? Kagome please just calm down." Sango pleaded.

"He chose her… he chose Kikyo…" Kagome whispered.

"Oh Kagome… I…" Sango was at a loss for words. 'I was so sure he would pick Kagome…'

"I have to tell everyone goodbye…" Kagome choked out as she ran towards Keade's hut.

Kagome came to a halt when she entered the hut and stood there staring at Keade. Keade looked at Kagome knowingly. She had seen Kikyo's soul collectors earlier and had watched Inuyasha dart off after them moments later. Keade opened her arms and Kagome threw herself into them. "Keade I will miss you so much."

"As will I miss ye, child." Keade managed to whisper as tears welled up in her eye. Kagome gave her a final hug before turning to the confused, crying kitsune standing next to her.

"Shippou…"

"Kagome please don't leave me!" He sobbed.

Kagome kneeled down next to him and picked up his shaking body. "Shippou… I can not stay here…"

"Please! Kagome! You're all I have…" Shippou cried.

"I can't stay!"

"Then you lie! You promised you would never leave!" Shippou yelled.

Kagome sat there stunned. She had promised. She was all the little kitsune had left. She couldn't just never come back. "Oh Shippou… I'm sorry." Kagome thought for a few moments. "Listen carefully." Kagome placed her lips next to his ear and whispered, " On the nights of the new moon bring Sango and Miroku with you to the well. I will meet you there. Don't worry I wont leave you alone." Kagome gave him a huge hug before leaving the hut and walking back over to Miroku and Sango.

"Sango, Miroku…" Kagome paused while looking around. "I'm going to miss this place so much. Thanks for everything…" She gave them each a hug. "I have to hurry! Talk to Shippou! Bye!" She smiled then headed towards the well. She was within feet of it when she heard him.

"Kagome!"

Kagome turned around quickly. "Inuyasha!"

"Kagome… wait… I…" Inuyasha stuttered.

"Sit boy…" She whispered as a single tear rolled down her cheek.

Inuyasha fell to the ground and moaned. "Kagome… please… just let me explain!" He managed to say as he stood.

"Inuyasha…" Kagome closed her eyes because she couldn't stand to look at him while she told him what she was about to say. "I'm leaving. I'm never coming back… don't follow me…" Kagome turned to leave.

"But Kagome, I…"

"NO! Don't you understand? You've already hurt me enough. Keep the jewel as my gift to you." With that she ran and jumped into the well.

"But Kagome… I choose you…" Was all he could say as a single tear rolled down his cheek.

Sess: Pardon me, Rin? This is Sesshomaru not a pig.

Rin: Look Hamlet, I'm in the middle of class.

Sess: Damnit Rin! Stop calling me Hamlet!

Miroku: (whispers to Inuyasha) Ya really think that's Hamlet? (grabs Sango's butt)

Sango: (looks at Miroku, eye twitching) BAKA! HENTAI! (grabs frying pan from out of nowhere and smacks him in the head with it)
