This next chapter is a little bit sad. It kind of rushes through though. I went through this chapter a couple of times and added some things to slow the story down. Please enjoy this chapter. The last chapter will be updated soon.

The tears kept coming. Inuyasha couldn't help bawling. He looked back once more and then jumped into the well. He was back in Kagome's world. The moonlight shined through the windows of the strange cabin. He opened the doors and roamed around the yard. He went towards the house and tried to open the front door, but it was locked. He even tried to open the windows, but they were sealed shut. He looked around for an opening in the house. Soon enough, he spotted an open window on the second story. He climbed up the wall with the help of some vines. He grasped the ledge of the open window and pulled himself on top of it. He looked inside with curiosity. It was someone's bedroom. He spotted someone asleep in bed. The person tossed and turned in sleep facing the window. It was Kagome. Her snoring got louder and made Inuyasha's ears twitched back from irritation. The moonlight made his shadow stretch over Kagome. She opened her eyes slowly then gasped at the shadow figure sitting on her ledge. She let out a scream.

Inuyasha lost his grip on the ledge and fell to the ground with a crash. The lights went on in the house. The front door opened. Kagome and her mother rushed outside. They shined their flashlights on Inuyasha.

"Inuyasha, it's you!" said Kagome happily.

"What are you doing here?" Kagome's mother asked.

"I ran away," he replied in pity.

"Why?" she asked.

"My daddy hit me."

"That's terrible, I'm so sorry to hear that."

Inuyasha started to cry again.

"Please don't cry it'll be okay," said Kagome.

"Inuyasha you can stay with us until you work things out," said Kagome's mother.

"Really?" he said.

"Yes."

"That would be great. Thank you."

He smiled at her and she smiled back.

"Kagome, please set a bed on the couch," she said.

"Okay mommy," she replied.

She went inside and her mother took Inuyasha on the porch. They both sat on comfortable cushions.

"Do you want to talk?" she asked.

"Sure I guess," he replied.

"Why did your daddy hit you?"

"He was yelling at my mother."

"He was?"

"Yeah, and I yelled back at him and he hit me."

"Then you ran away?"

"Yes."

"Won't you miss your mother?"

"Mother……I didn't think about that."

Kagome walked onto the porch. She had something in her hand.

"Mommy the baby's crying again. I think Sota's hungry," she said

"What makes you think that?" she asked.

"He threw this at my head."

Kagome handed her mother a bottle. She started to laugh a little.

"Alright Kagome, Inuyasha, lets go inside," she said.

All three of them went inside. Kagome's mother went upstairs to take care of Sota. Kagome showed Inuyasha to the couch and he sprang on it and curled up. Kagome turned off the lights downstairs and went back to bed. In no time, Inuyasha was fast asleep.

Back in his world, Inutiashou and his search party were in the woods looking for him. They spread out calling his name.

"INUYASHA!" called out Inutiashou.

There was no reply. He sighed and moved on. He felt really guilty for what he did to him.

"I shouldn't have lost my temper," he said to himself.

In Kagome's world, Inuyasha was tossing and turning on the couch. He was trapped in a nightmare. He was being chased by the ugliest demons of the world.

He saw his family ahead and hid behind them for protection, but they turned into demons, even Izayoi. They chased Inuyasha. He ran for his life until he came to the edge of the cliff. He looked behind and the demons were coming closer.

Inuyasha noticed another cliff ledge on the other side. He made a jump for it. He missed and fell into the darkness below.

"Inuyasha!" said a voice.

He didn't know where the voice was coming from. It kept calling his name over and over again. Suddenly, Inuyasha crashed to the bottom.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!" he screamed.

He looked around and was back on the couch. Kagome was standing behind him.

"Are you okay Inuyasha?" she asked.

"Yeah. I'm glad it was only a dream," he replied.

"Would you like to talk about it?"

"No thanks."

"Okay then lets go outside and play."

They ran out the door and into the yard near the Sacred Tree. Inuyasha looked at it carefully.

"This can't possibly be the Sacred Tree," he said.

"It is. How did you know about this tree?" Kagome asked.

"Where I come from this tree sits in the middle of my father's woods."

"That's interesting. I like this tree."

"Why?"

"My mommy told me stories that this tree has some secret power. Trees don't live forever, but this tree has been around for over 500 years."

"500 years!"

"Yep. Pretty cool huh?"

"Sure."

"Inuyasha would you like a soda?"

"Okay. What's a soda?"

"Wait here I'll get you one."

Inuyasha sat under the Sacred Tree and layed his head back waiting for Kagome to return. In his world, Inutiashou came across the sacred tree. He sat underneath it and layed his head back just like Inuyasha. In Kagome's world, Inuyasha could feel the Sacred Tree's power.

"My father's scent," he said.

He closed his eyes and he was facing his father.

"Father," Inuyasha said quietly.

"Inuyasha I'm so sorry," he responded.

"Why did you hurt me?"

"I didn't mean to. I was just angry."

"How's Sesshomaru?"

"He's fine; your mother is taking care of him."

"Is mother worried about me?"

"She's been crying ever since you left."

"How did you know I was here?"

"I could sense you through the Sacred Tree's power."

"You know about this tree's power?"

"Of course. Inuyasha"

"Yes?"

"Please come back home."

"You want me home?"

"Of course son."

"But Sesshomaru said….."

"Never mind what he said. I got after him when I found out that he mistreated you. Come home son."

Inuyasha smiled at his father.

"I'll come home," he said.

He opened his eyes and stood up. He walked out into the sun. Kagome came back outside holding two sodas in her hands.

"Sorry it took me so long," she said.

"Kagome I'm going home," Inuyasha replied.

"So soon!"

"I should go back. My mother misses me terribly."

"Will I see you again?"

"I'll come back. Don't worry."

"Okay. Bye."

Inuyasha took off to the well. He jumped in and past the colors. He reached his world and pulled himself out of the well. He made a run for home, but a evil demon crossed his path. It roared and drooled. Inuyasha backed away with the angry feeling in his rage. He took charge at the beast.

"IRON REAVER SOUL STEALER!" he yelled.

Inuyasha slashed some skin off the beast and made it scream in pain. He knocked Inuyasha on the ground. Now he was in trouble.
