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?

Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha

Kagome took Inuyasha's hand as they stood at the edge of the well in the Feudal Era. She cast one longing look back at the village, and Inuyasha's grip on her hand strengthened.

"Kagome, you don't have to go back now. We can stay here a while…" Inuyasha started off, not bothering to hide to concern in his voice.

Kagome gave a small smile and looked into his amber eyes, telling him that she was ok to go back for now, but she wished to return soon.

"I haven't met Yura of the Demon Hair yet though… if we are not here lives will be lost and Kaede will be injured, remember?" she said, casting another look back.

Inuyasha scoffed at her thoughts. "She won't be here for another day or two, maybe never, the jewel is complete. When there were shards she could sense it easier. If you want I'll stay here to watch for Yura and—"he was cut off by Kagome suddenly gripping his hand tighter, in fear.

"Don't leave me Inuyasha…please." She said a note of urgency in her voice. "You're right…" she continued on, looking at her feet, her voice sounding like she was going to cry. "We have time. We can go back for a day and then return with supplies. We can beat her easier then before and then…then… oh I don't know!" and with that she burst.

Inuyasha gave her another hug that lasted for a few minutes, with her crying into his shoulder. He wondered what caused her to do this, she had seemed fine before.

If you want I'll stay here for Yura and…

Don't leave me Inuyasha…

She was afraid. She was afraid of dying again, or not getting another chance. She wanted him there to protect her and stay with her.

He realized it was his fault for her recent scare so he quietly said it'd be ok and he'd stay with her.

She calmed down almost instantly, now knowing he would be with her.

She didn't know why she reacted when Inuyasha suggested it. She could not explain this horrible feeling in the pit of her stomach, this terrible feeling that made her want to be with him forever.

So she cried, the only thing she could do at that point.

I'm so afraid; I don't want to die again…

Kagome thought tearfully as she was hugged by Inuyasha, and he whispered he'd always be there.

I will be ok. This is just a minor thing, in time I'll get over it-

Then she had a vision of when Inuyasha was poisoned by the spider demon.

She snapped up instantly and pushed away, standing herself up next to a kneeling, confused Inuyasha.

"I'll be fine. We have time… I'll just go tell my mom, grandpa and Sota and then we'll be on our way again." She said stiffly, she knew she hurt Inuyasha when she pushed away.

But she needed to be strong, not to collapse all the time. She watched Inuyasha grin a bit and stand up, taking her hand again.

"Shall we go?" he asked her. Kagome nodded her head yes, although everything else was screaming no.

And with that they jumped down the well and went through into the modern era.

He was confused, when Kagome pushed away from him. He was also a little hurt, he guessed later on.

But mostly he was proud of her, for having the will to get up and make a tough decision for her at the time.

Even though it was not the reason for her tears, Inuyasha was happy she decided to go back through the well.

Once they were there he realized that he shouldn't be there. Wouldn't it look odd to her family if she showed up acting like she had known him for years when in the present time to her family she had met him 3 days ago?

When he told this to Kagome she smiled and let go of his hand, saying to pretend nothing was with them.

He wanted to hold her hand again.

She heard Sota and her Grandfather again, coming into the well house to search on more time.

She wanted to hold Inuyasha's hand again, but her family would think she was insane. She didn't need that now, especially since she had to re-explain the whole feudal era deal again, without mentioning things that haven't happened yet.

She was happy though, when she realized that there would be no evil mask in her time. She might see the soul piper again… but possibly not.

When her relatives lowered the ladder down into the well for her to climb up she did so gratefully.

Inuyasha had jumped up and out of the well just as she reached the top, to be fair she guessed.

She watched as her brother admired the doggy ears and her grandfather spazzed out with his sutras and things.

Kagome quickly explained the well ordeal, leaving out some details, such as how Inuyasha had tried killing her originally and how she and he were kind of boyfriend/girlfriend.

Her grandfather and Sota took it well… well, as well as two people who suddeny learned their sister/grandkid could travel into the past through an old well and then come back with a half demon who has an attitude problem.

Kagome sighed, this would be a long night.\

please review :-)
