Author message: Kagome's going to be acting really depressed in the next.

Landing on the bottom of the well, Kagome burst into a river of tears. 'That bastard, how can I love him when I hate him so much?' Curling into herself, she prayed she could just die right here, right now. 'I hope he burns in hell.'

Not wanting to crawl out of the well at the moment, she laid down at the bottom. It was dark when she left the feudal era, so she guessed it was dark here too.

"I don't want to see him ever again…."

After crying for hours on end, Kagome finally passed out, exhausted from crying, her tears long gone and dry.

InuYasha leapt into a tree. This was the first time he had ever cried since his mother died. The first time he truly began to fear he was all alone.

It didn't hurt this much when Kikyo died. Maybe it was because Kikyo was murdered. Kagome chose to leave him.

It had been hours, and he had stayed in the Goshinboku, awaiting for Kagome to come back so he could apologize.

Apologize… He hadn't apologized and meant it since he was a small child. But this time, he was more then sorry. If she didn't except his apology, he would die.

He guessed this was one of those things you don't know what you have until its gone. Then you want it, need it back.

Sango and Miroku began to worry. Kagome and InuYasha had been gone for around 4 hours. The sun had already gone down, and they hadn't seen either of their friends. Kagome hadn't even came back for her backpack.

Sango stood, grabbing the yellow pack, and began walking back to the well.

Reaching the great tree, she saw the red kimono of her inu-youkai friend.

"InuYasha?"

He looked down at her, slowly.

The sight she saw shocked her.

InuYasha, eyes red, hollow and puffy with tears floating down his cheeks. He looked completely depressed as if he wasn't really there.

She'd never seen him like this. She turned quickly, rushing to get Miroku. Maybe he could help. Maybe...

DREAM OF THE PAST

"InuYasha," Kikyo purred into the dog demon's haori. "I love you, come with me. You know my reincarnation isn't good enough for you. She can't make you truly happy like I can. Come with me, let's find a place where we can be together forever."

"We will. Once Naraku's gone." InuYasha whispered, holding her fast to his body as if she was slowly slipping away. (AN: She is )

"Let's kill my reincarnation, InuYasha. Then until he is defeated, we can be together."

"We can't. We need her to see the shards."

"So is that all I am InuYasha? A Jewel Shard detector?"

"Kagome..."

"No, I want to know; Is that all I mean to you?"

InuYasha was stunned silent.

"You know what InuYasha. I have HAD IT! I'm through with being second in your life. I'm going home and don't you dare try to follow me or try to bring me back to this hell hole, because I'm NOT COMING BACK!" Kagome snapped, rushing off, away from the ones who had hurt her.

Kikyo reached out to hug InuYasha from behind, but was pushed to the side, as InuYasha rushed off to chase after her stupid reincarnation.

END DREAM

The sun rose and shined down upon the hollow time-traveling girl. She had climbed so slowly up the well, she didn't know if she would make it to the surface.

She felt like she was drowning. In anger or sadness she wasn't so sure.

Finally reaching the surface, like breaking the surface of a pool after being under for so long, her suppressed lungs took what seemed like a first breath of air.

Slowly, she slid her legs over the edge and touched ground, and started the torturous journey into her home she hadn't seen in weeks.

Entering the den, she slid agonizingly onto one of the soft couches, sprawling herself over it on her stomach as she began to cry for the millionth time that mourning.

She heard a soft clicking sound coming closer and closer. Closing her eyes, she calmed at the familiar sound.

"OH MY GOD! KAGOME!" Kagome's mother shrilled, rushing to her daughter's aid.

Isn't that cute. InuYasha's actually sorry for once! MWAHAHAHAHAHA…

Ahem. ANYWAY……There's a BIG secret next chapter that Kagome's going to find out.

And for all Kikyo and InuYasha fans: I'm sorry, I really hate both of them. I think both of them have a stick shoved higher up their asses then Sesshoumaru does (I like Sesshoumaru FYI). There will be no Kagome-x-InuYasha in here. I believe she is too good for InuYasha because of how he treats her. Anyway, thanks for reading, please review.
