Summary: What if Kagome could go back in time? Stop Kikyo from being reborn, stop everything from happening? Would she unbind Inuyasha from the tree and trust him with her life? Especially when she can only have her wish granted because she died at his hands?

A/n: Sango and Miroku magically disappeared. Kidding. Sango and Miroku are off somewhere else searching for Naraku, because they decided splitting up and meeting back would be a good decision and help them find Naraku easier. Shippo and Kilala are with Miroku and Sango.

Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha

"Live!" She said, a light emitted from the jewel and Inuyasha looked surprised as the light concealed his vision…

"Kagome! Wake up! Time for school!" Her mother's voice called to her. She opened her eyes. It was a sunny day out and her calendar dated back a year, give or take a month.

I'm in the past! I don't believe it!

Kagome thought as she got dressed. She walked out the door on her way to school and looked at the well, sure enough; Sota was standing there looking for something. Something would be Buyo, the cat.

Kagome did not ever bother asking her brother what he was looking for, she just walked into the well house and looked around.

"What are you doing sis?" Sota asked her, wondering what his sister was doing barging into the well house.

"Looking for the cat, what else?" Kagome said in a short tempered voice. Sota shut up. The cat came around her feet and she picked it up, standing in place in front of the well.

She had felt the demonic presence, now all she needed was for it to sense the-

"SIS BEHIND YOU!" Sota screamed out as white claw like things grabbed Kagome and pulled her into the well.

She was not scared, but rather she just used her hand to push the demon away. When she arrived in the well she climbed up and out. She waited an hour or so before setting out to find the sacred tree.

When she arrived she stared at Inuyasha for a while. He really was beautiful, his silver hair and boyish sleeping appearance. She knew perfectly well why she loved him.

She stared at him for a while, then made her way up to the tree and smiled.

I wish you could remember the love we shared…

She heard foot steps approaching behind her and the sounds of arrows. She barely flinched, knowing they would miss.

They tried to grab her but she shook them off and practically led them to their village. She waited for Kaede to come so she could try explaining to the elder why she needed to go home… even though she considered the Feudal Era home to her.

When nightfall had reached, Kagome had sat through another explanation of Kikyo and the sacred jewel inside her and all that other crap she knew all to well.

It's almost time… for Mistress Centipede…

Kagome thought with a small smile as she watched the sun start to set. Sure enough, like clock work she heard villagers scream and things break.

Kagome suddenly felt fear; she had no bows and arrows… nothing. And since these were not the same circumstances, who was to say Inuyasha would wake up?

What if Mistress Centipede killed her there? Would it all be for nothing, would the jewel give her another chance?

She ran out the hut with Kaede and stared… it had been a while since she saw the face of the demon. True, she dreamed about it sometimes, well, had nightmares, but either way, she only remembered during bad dreams.

"Give me the Sacred Jewel!" It yelled at it dove for Kagome; she only just avoided the attack.

Real fear was in her now; no-one could save her. But she knew what she had to do, turning quickly Kagome ran down the path back to the forest of Inuyasha.

Wake up… wake up Inuyasha…

She was close to sobbing now, there was nothing she could do… she had no weapons, or ways to wake up Inuyasha while he was under the spell.

Wake up, please wake up!

Oh no, she was nearing the end of the path that ran between the river, nearing the uphill place where she could find the sacred tree.

"PLEASE INUYASHA! JUST WAKE UP!" She screamed out crying as she dodged another one of the centipede's attacks.

Ba-dump. Ba-dump. A beat, a heart beat. Waking, alive, Kikyo…

Inuyasha woke up with an evil smile, he recognized the scent, it was Kikyo, there was no doubting it… it was impossible not to…

A girl who looked like Kagome appeared in front of him, he could smell her fear and tears. Something called to him. She is not Kikyo… it told him. But he ignored it, it had to be Kikyo.

They looked exactly alike, except for clothing. Inuyasha couldn't help himself, he had to insult Kikyo's fear and tears. But he was surprised when (after falling from a dodge) Kikyo looked up at him with big hazel eyes.

"K-K-Kagome…" the name called out to him. Her eyes pleaded, begged him to remember. They were filled with love and fear, which he found an interesting mix.

"Inuy-YASHA!" She ended up screaming as the centipede grabbed her and threw her up and rid a tiny pink object from her body. She fell to the floor defenseless.

She could not be Kikyo… Kikyo could have fought back… not this girl. And why did he want to call her Kagome? What name was that? And why was she dressed so strange… yet so familiar?

The centipede used its body to push Kagome into Inuyasha and the tree. He couldn't think, there was Kikyo's scent, but also something different, a different scent.

"Look whoever you are…" He said, her attention was grabbed, she was weak from stress and physical damage.

The demon was eating the jewel, it grew in power enormously.

"I don't know why… but seeing you hurt… it pisses me off, so try… try taking out the arrow. I'll kill this damn demon and get the jewel. Take that off your hands while I'm at it." He said, looking away from her. It was the truth… something about seeing her hurting.

"Inu…yasha… you really, don't remember me… I am no Kikyo… my name is Kag-ohhhhh" The centipede, with its strength, was done with the human and crushing her.

Inuyasha's eyes widened in panic… why did he want desperately to protect her? Something about her, they was she said his name… her eyes, they way she looked at him…

"Pull out the arrow damn it!" He found himself yelling at her. She took a deep breath and looked up with pleading eyes. Inuyasha had to look away. She reached up slowly with a trembling hand.

"Please Inuyasha… save me…" she said as she pulled out the arrow. A light emitted and the demon let go in surprise.

Please help me Inuyasha…

Kagome was much closer to feinting then she had been last time. Inuyasha said her name… could he remember the future? Or… well… she knew what she meant. Could he remember the time they shared?

I don't know why… but seeing you hurt… it pisses me off…

Kagome smiled slightly. She could no feint… she needed to stay awake until she could "sit" Inuyasha.

Inuyasha defeated the demon and she pointed to the jewel without thinking. This had been such a normal experience; she even plucked it out herself.

Kaede told her about her destiny to protect it and Inuyasha said his part about wanting it.

Kagome knew the fight could be avoided. She told Kaede to take out the beads. A surprised Kaede did so and she said the spell. Inuyasha had not been expecting it, so the beads won easily.

"Do ye know the word to hold Inuyasha's spirit?" Kaede asked. Kagome smiled.

Yep.

"Sit boy!" She said and Inuyasha fell. Knowing that she could control Inuyasha's violent nature… Kagome found herself feint. So… she did exactly what she needed to, she passed out cold on the ground.
