Chapter 7

Delayed devastation?


Inu isn't mine ok?


It's been three days since the well has been closed and Kagome seemed fine until….

"Inuyasha! WAIT INUYASHA!" Kagome yelled as Inuyasha faded out into the shadows of the trees.

Kagome sat up.

#was it all just a dream? # She said looking around, the sun was starting to rise. #I hope so…. # she stood up and went to the spring she was at the day before.

"Why am I still in the past….I thought I was going to leave to go see mom…." She said sinking under the water then rising again. "I guess I leave today….Since we did defeat Naraku…"

Kagome sat there for a moment, "We did defeat Naraku didn't we?" She stood up quickly but went back into the water since the air was chilly. "THE PORTAL!THE WELL! ITS CLOSED! I'M STUCK…..H-H-HERE!" she screamed having all memories put back into her head….

#Why did I forget……# she thought with tears welling up… #I know…I remember I wanted everything to be okay…so I pushed it out of my mind and walked back with my pack as quick as I could to get away from the spot…..#

Kagome sat there for a moment before she began to cry. "Why? Why must this happen to me? Why must I be the one who HAS to find the shards? Why did I even have the Jewel? Why did I have to come to the past? Why?" She wheezed at herself with tears streaming thick down her already wet face.

"Because… Because you're the one who came back time and again… Because you broke the jewel… Because you're Kikyo's reincarnation… Because If you didn't I'd still be stuck to a tree… Because…" Said Inuyasha whom hadn't laid an eye on her since she'd seemed to have forgotten she'd been bathing.

"Inuyasha…" she whispered trying to hide the sadness in her voice, but he could tell she was sad and terrified.

"Kagome…Please don't…don't…don't be sad….I'm here for you we're all here for you… You still have 'family' with you; you just need to realize that." He said closing his eyes.

#He does…He does care…He cares a lot….He ….loves me….# she thought, #I knew that but I never believed it…oh, Inuyasha…thank you.#

Some how he could sense her thoughts and said, "Yes Kagome I do care…. I don't want you to be sad! I don't want you to be sad…." She looked to him then to the water….then back to him then closed her eyes…

"Here." He said tossing a kimono on the ground, "Kaede gave it to me to give to you. You'd best not be in futuristic cloths since you'll be here longer until we can open the portal…I'll let you change…" he said and stood and walked away.

She stood still in the water for a moment, then climbed out and picked up the kimono. It was light green with a yellow diamond pattern on the neck. The skirt was loose so she could run easily and only had one under layer.

She slowly dressed and walked to the camp. The others had woken. They sat there staring at her… with great concern in their eyes. Seeing this Kagome said quickly with a hiccup, "Please guys don't worry about me I'll be fine! Seriously I just need to think." Realizing they were staring they all turned their heads away.

"Kagome…." Shippo cried walking to Kagome and hugged her leg, "I'll be fine Shippo.. r-r-really…" She couldn't help it and started to cry again…."I want to be able to go home…I want to be….be……" her breathing was obscured.

After a moment of crying she laid back and fell asleep. "She must be exhausted from crying we should leave her alone Shippo." Sango said trying to pry Shippo from her side, but he wouldn't budge. "No I'm stay right by her that's what friends do right!" he said defensively and curled up in a ball and dosed.

Kagome slept throughout the day occasionally waking to cry some more. No one cared if it was annoying… They only cared that she would feel better. The whole time Shippo and Inuyasha stayed near her, making sure she was okay.

Finally she woke without fail at night; she didn't cry she didn't speak she only sat there sad and depressed. Seeing this Inuyasha walked to her, sat down and laid her on his chest. They both went to sleep. But before Kagome slipped into slumber she thought, #I love you Inuyasha…#


A very sad chapter eh? I'm depressed even writing it…..well that shows I am one with my work If I like the Idea. I'd best be off now…I'm grounded that why there was the large delay….Sorry…..Adava.
