"I'm back!" Kagome called to Inuyasha at the entrance of the cave. There came no answer, so Kagome walked in. She found Inuyasha sleeping on the floor like a baby and couldn't help but smile. Everyone was fast asleep; Miroku was snoring rather loudly. He made one extremely loud snore, and rolled over next to Sango where he embraced her and mumbled in his sleep, "Will you bear m-my child?" And then he yawned. Kagome just shook her head. She layed down on the stone floor and fell alseep.
Meanwhile... at the edge of the woods in Shigure's house, Kyo was restless. He moved constantly in his sleep and only slept for an hour at a time. "No! Kagome... d-don't leave me!" CRASH! Kyo woke up instantly at the sound and looked wildly around the room until his eyes set upon Yuki. "What the hell is your problem!" Kyo yelled. "You just broke the door, and guess who's gonna have to pay for it... me!" Yuki glared at him. "You idiot. You're yelling about some stupid girl in your sleep while the rest of us are trying to go back to sleep! You're waking up the whole house!" "I'm waking up the house? You're the one who broke down the door!" Yuki grabbed Kyo's pajama shirt and looked him square in the eyes. "SHUT UP, or your grave will be dug early," Yuki threatened. "Ok... ok!" Kyo surrendered. He was no match for Yuki unfortunately, though it was his goal to beat him before he graduated from highschool. Yuki lefted the room and Kyo went back to his dreams of Kagome... more like nightmares of losing her.
"AAH! Get off of me you pervert!" Everyone in the cave was brutally awakened by the shouts of Sango. "Ow... ow!" Miroku yelled as Sango was hitting him.
"Yes! I'm back to normal!" Inuyasha jumped for joy as he realized he was no longer full human. "Now I can beat that stupid orange head!" He cried. "Umm, Inuyasha, I'd prefer it if you guys wouldn't fight. I hate to see to people I like fighting against each other," Kagome said. "You like him?" Inuyasha asked in disbelief. "Well... yes. He did save me," Kagome replied.
Inuyasha started walking out of the cave. "Wait! Inuyasha! Where are you going?" Kagome yelled after him. "We have to go home!" "W-what? Why?" Kagome asked. "Shards aren't in the future," Inuyasha replied. "What? You never told me that!" Kagome exclaimed. They had all gone to the future because Kagome had suggested it, thinking it was a great idea. Unfortunately, Kouga and his pack, who had been following them at the time, and had went inside the well too. "Why did you let us go then?" Kagome asked. "I knew you would love it if we got to see your century..." Inuyasha said, blushing. Kagome looked down at the ground, clearly embarrassed at her ignorance. "Well, at least something good came out of it," Kagome said. "What's that?" Inuyasha asked. "Meeting Kyo of course!" Kagome replied. Inuyasha exploded. "What's so good about him, huh? He's just a stupid kid with a crop of ugly orange hair! He's nothing special!" Kagome stared at him. "I-I never knew you thought of him like that." Tears rushed down her face. "Hey, I'm sorry, ok? I didn't mean," Inuyasha said quietly. Kagome brightened up.
"Kyo!" Shigure called into his room. "What!" Kyo yelled. "I was sleeping!" "I know. That's why I came in. To wake you up!" Shigure said cheerfully. Kyo groaned and slipped out of bed. "Well, I'm up, so get out!" Kyo shouted when he saw that Shigure was still standing at his doorway. "Someone's at the door for you," Shigure said sinically. Kyo stared. "Is it... Kagome?" He asked. "Maybe. You'll never know until you go down and see," Shigure said. "What! Well, give me a moment. I have to get dressed!" Shigure smiled and walked out, his last words lingering in the hallway, "Young love!" At this, Kyo knew exactly who he was talking about. Kyo quickly dressed and rushed into the bathroom where he quickly put on some of Yuki's cologne (he didn't have any of his own) and combed his hair.
Kagome waited patiently outside to tell Kyo the news of her departure. "Oh, there you are," She said as she spotted Kyo coming down the steps. "Yeah... so what's up?" He asked. "Umm... well. I'm leaving," Kagome replied. "Leaving where?" Kyo asked. "Back to the past..." "What the hell are you talking about?" "It's a long story. But, I used to live here, in the 21st century until I fell into a magic well (I know, sounds stupid) and it took me 500 years into the past. So anyway, that's when I met Inuyasha and gang and found out I was the reincarnate of this girl name Kikyo. I had the shikon jewel inside me somehow and once it was scattered all over the place, I had to help them look for the shards. Recently I went back to the 21st century thinking we'd have better lucky here, but then Inuyasha told me there were none in this century (he had let me come back anyway because he knew I'd like it to go back home for a while), and anyway, that's when I met you..." Kagome was out of breathe from all the talking. Kyo was dumbfounded.
"Yeah, so umm... good bye," Kagome said. She shed a bitter tear and walked close to Kyo. Kyo looked down at her with a truly depressed face. Their faces came closer to each other's. They both blushed but continued getting closer. At last, their lips touched, and none of them had the courage to withdraw.
Then, their lips locked and from that moment on, they made a secret, silent promise to each other that no matter what, they would always be in each other's hearts and they would have a bond for eternity.
