Days have past for Kenu and Ika, as they enjoyed one another's company. Everyday they were together, talking, sitting, eating, and of course, kissing.

Kenu dropped Ika off home, after they went out to dinner. She kissed on the lips and said goodnight.

He as off again in the trees, hopping his way back home. When he got the shrine, he blinked, knowing something wasn't right.

He smelled the air, smelling outdoors and the sense of confusing and tense.

Kenu went inside, calling for his grandmother and Yasha. He saw them sitting in the living room.

"Grandma, what's wrong?" he asked, seeing her cry. She looked up with smile.

"Ask Yasha," she said, wiping her tears away.

Yasha looked up at his brother, smiling as well.

"Guess what?" Yasha began

"I hate guessing, just tell me," said Kenu

"We can go through the well, to go back home," Yasha said

Kenu blinked.

"Really! That is so awesome!" Kenu yelled, praying that he won't start jumping up and down.

"But, there's one thing," said Yasha, "We can only go once and never come back,"

Kenu walked silently up the stairs, to his room.

I'll have to leave Ika behind. But I can't, I just can't. I want to go home, but I don't want to leave Ika here.

Kenu laid on his back on his bed, staring at the ceiling with his arms behind his head. He blinked a few times then a couple of sighs came from his mouth.

His mind was having an argument over what to do. He couldn't take it anymore. He closed his eyes.

I'll ask her tomorrow.

With that said, he rolled over to his side, and fell to sleep.

Kenu went into his closet, pulling out a blue kimono outfit, like Inuyasha's red one. He smiled at it, before putting it on.

He ran out of the room, almost skipping his way to his brother's room. He knocked on the door. When his brother said come in, Kenu obeyed and entered.

"You ready?" Kenu asked

"Yeah, hold on," Yasha said. He was wearing a kimono top with squared patterns on it. He also wore a white hakama.

"You take forever to dress," said Kenu, huffing slightly. He yawned as he rested against the door post.

"Hell, did you say your good-byes to Ika?" Kenu shot him an evil glare. Yasha sighed, "You better hurry up,"
"I'll hurry up if I want to. And I don't want to," said Kenu

"What? You're gonna ask her to come?" Kenu didn't say anything, "Like hell you aren't! She could get killed and interfere with the time,"

"She ain't your problem. She's my mate," he said. God! I did NOT say that! Kenu slapped his head.

"Mate? You didn't!"

"No! Ew! No! but I do care for her, and I want her around me," Kenu said.

"…"
"Look, if it is that much of a problem, I'll take care of her. I'll watch her and all that stuff,"
"The what about her parents?"

"Like I give a damn about them,"

Yasha sighed.

"Whatever. Just remember, you have to take care of her,"

Kenu left the room, before running out of the door. He forgot his cap, but he didn't care. He ran towards the scent that sent him to heaven its self.

Ika was walking with an ice cream in her hand. She licked it, savoring the taste of the sweet milk.

She turned her head at a swish, only to be pulled into an alley.

Her heart beat was racing as she grabbed hold of her shirt. She looked up, whimpering at the ice cream that was now gone.

She was soon pulled into an embrace.

"Kenu?" she asked

"Yeah, it's me," he said. He looked down at her. She blinked.

"I wouldn't have realized it was you with that kimono on," she said. She smiled, but frowned when she saw the saddness in his eyes, "Kenu, what's wrong?"

"I, I have to go back,"

"Back?"

"Back to my time, the Fuedal Era,"

"Oh kay, you will come back right?"

"No, it is only a one thing. I can go, but I can't come back,"

"But," she didn't want him to leave. She want to be there with him. She wrapped her arms around his waist, tightening it, as she buried her face into his chest.

"Listen, I want your honesty. Do you want to come with me to my time?"

She looked up at him, blinking.

"I,"

"I can protect you. You and I can be together, and no danger will come to you. I want you to come with me," he said, burrying his nose into her hair.

"I want to go with you,"

Kenu looked down at her.

"You can't come back,"

"I know, and I don't want to be here without you,"

Kenu kissed her lips.

"Then lets go,"

She wrapped her arms around his neck as he jumped back to his house.

She looked down at the world she was going to leave for good.

She was only happy and not sad.

She was with the guy she loved.

And nothing more.
