Inu-Yasha, Stay With Me!

Chapter 4

Kagome slowly entered the hut where the rest of the group stared in awe. Kagome sat in the corner of the room, allowing Kikyo to lyrically step in. Inu-Yasha had a grimace imprinted on his face as he still slept silently. Kagome almost had the same grimace on as Kikyo sat on the floor next to him. She watched as her almost double sat gazing at Inu-Yasha, her expression now changing to care. The 15 year old stood up silently and walked to the door again.

"Kagome," Sango said looking at her. "Where are you going?"

"I-I have to go back to my era to get something to help Inu-Yasha... I'll be back soon." She pushed past the bamboo curtain that hung on the entrance way and walked slowly back to the well. Making her way to the clearing, she plopped down next to the well that had brought her to this world in the first place. "I wish I never came down this thing.." Kagome stood up and put her hands on the sides.

She looked into the forest ahead, her vision blurry with tears.

"If I knew that this would be so painful... That it would hurt so much, I wish I never came." She looked down the well once again. "But..even if I hadn't fallen down this well, I would have met up with Inu-Yasha eventually.. I mean he would have still been sealed to the tree in my era." She remembered the day so long ago when she stumbled upon the sleeping hanyou. The thought brought back a warming feeling inside her but was soon coated with a dark feeling. If only she could have turned around, to never gaze upon his face. To never free him and learn his difficult past. To never grow to love him so much...

"But I do." She said quietly to herself. "I can't help but love him. And that's why I'm here." She reassured herself. Kagome wiped her tears and jumped into the well, the familiar light surrounding her, bringing her normal life back.

"Lady Kikyo, do you know any way that you can help him?" Miroku stood over the woman and talked in a tired monotone.

"I do, however it's not my place to heal him." Kikyo stood up as if ready to leave.

"Then at least tell us!" Shippo sprang to his feet.

"As I said, it is not my place to heal him." She closed her eyes walking towards the door. "The injury has to do with me, therefore I cannot be the one to heal it. Kagome must find out what this is and heal him, and she has to find out what and how on her own." Kikyo stopped momentarily to turn back and crouch by Inu-Yasha. She put a hand to his face and stroked his cheek gently, only to leave a minute later.

"Let's just hope that Kagome comes back soon." Miroku stepped outside to watch Kikyo go into the forest, however she had disappeared already.

"She's creepy at times." Sango's voice came up from behind Miroku.

"But at least she gave us some answers..."

"But Miroku?"

"Yeah?"

"The injury involves her I get that but how? I thought he got it fighting Naraku..."

"I think that's what Kagome must find out." Miroku stepped back inside the hut with Sango. "And it'll be better for all of our sake's if we give Kagome some time alone."

As Kagome climbed back out of the well to see her era, the smells of the world she knew came flooding back. The familiar sounds of the cars racing around the streets and the laughter of the children as they ran down the street playing tag. She walked slowly to her home, soaking up all the things she left behind. It was early evening so her brother would most probably be home and her mother would be in the kitchen making dinner. Her Gramps would probably be leading a tour around the shine or just dusting up or sweeping. Kagome looked around desperately, trying to spot someone she knew to console her, or maybe she even forgot where her house was. Nevertheless, she found her way into the house to take her shoes off quietly as her brother made his way out of the kitchen.

"Sis! You're back!" Sota came running to Kagome with such a look of happiness on his face it was almost hard for Kagome not to smile. However she managed to keep her lips in a tight frown and her blood shot chocolate eyes spelled something was wrong. "Did you and Inu-Yasha have another fight or something?" Sota looked at his sister quizzically.

"Kagome, dear, you're home! It's good to see you!" Her mother came from the kitchen smiling at her daughter only to have her flop her bangs in her eyes and not respond. "Kagome...?" She questioned as Kagome pushed past them both to go up to her room. She didn't answer nor did she ignore them, she just walked past them without a word.

"Mom?"

"Yes, Sota?"

"You gonna go find what's bugging Kagome?" Sota asked scratching his arm.

"I suppose so. Tell your Grandfather when he comes in to finish making the stew."

"Kay." Sota skipped back into the kitchen as his mother ran up the stairs. She stopped outside her daughter's door and was going to knock but was met by her sobs instead. She heard Kagome mumble a faint "Inu-Yasha.." And she knew she had to intervene now. She knocked loudly on the door. The sobs quickly stopped and Kagome flung open her door.

"Hi, Mom." Kagome said her voice cracking.

"Kagome, I think it's time we had a talk." She said going into her daughter's room and sitting on the bed. She patted it and waited as Kagome closed the door and then reluctantly sat down next to her, flipping over her tearstained pillow on the way. "Now, what happened with Inu-Yasha."

"H-how did you know?" Kagome looked at her Mom puzzled.

"Kagome, dear, when you come back here upset, it really isn't that hard to figure out." Her Mom scratched the back of her head as Kagome looked down at her feet.

"O-oh.." She mumbled too embarrassed to look up. Her mother looked at her confused but put an arm around her daughter and brought her close to her without saying a word. Kagome tried to keep her tears from coming out.

"Kagome, you're going to be sixteen this year already, and well, your grownup almost. And if you think I don't know what you think of Inu-Yasha than I guess we better talk about it now." Kagome snapped her head up. Was it that obvious? Did she come across as desperate; even to her own Mom! She decided to play it relatively cool and just take on the innocent act.

"What about me and Inu-Yasha?"

"Kagome, you're over there all the time and when you finally do come back all you ever speak about is Inu-Yasha with that little spark in your eyes. Kagome, I've been meaning to ask you, what do you think about Inu-Yasha, it will stay strictly between us." She put her finger to her mouth to say she would "hush hush." Kagome looked down, knowing that her mother already knew what was going on so she might as well better not lie.

"M-mom.." She swallowed nervously. "How did you feel..." She trailed off.

"Feel when?"

"When," She sighed. "When you met Dad?" She nearly spat out.

"Oh." Her mother said in an understanding tone. "Well, to be honest, I didn't think he was the one. I mean we were constantly fighting and either one of us was storming off. But.. I guess that's what made the apologies more important. And I'd get that feeling that I hadn't had before, and I knew that it was love." She said almost with a cheesy smile. "I know that you're a smart enough young women to know if you really do love Inu-Yasha," She strained the love out. "Just don't push yourself or him too hard. But don't let it go. You never know what you had until you don't anymore... Just like me with your father." Kagome picked up her head and started crying again. What if Inu-Yasha ended up like her father...

"Mom, I didn't have a fight with Inu-Yasha.." She said admiringly, pain stabbing her heart.

"You didn't?" Her mother had a look of shock on her face.

"Mom, Inu-Yasha's dying..." She cried even harder if it was possible. She thought at this rate that she would run out of tears.

"Then why are you back here!" Kagome had never heard her mother that intense. "Why aren't you with him or at least bring him here?" She had a look of pain in her own eyes. Sota had been walking by Kagome's slightly cracked door hearing what she said and dropping the bag of chips he held and storming into the room.

"Kikyo's with him... The girl that he used to love and still does... I don't think I belong there." She said not even acknologing her brother's presence.

"You mean, you're not going back?" Sota said almost screaming.

"I don't know!" Kagome screamed back. Her mother got down on her knees and got right down in font of Kagome who was struggling to breathe.

"Kagome, go back there."

"But Mom, Kikyo-"

"I don't care about Kikyo. I want you to go back and at least be there with him. If you do love him then I think you should show it to him whether he returns it or not." Her mother had a serious tone. "Please don't let it happen to you, what happened to me when your father died."

Kagome nodded quietly and pushed past her brother. Her mother watched as her daughter made it to the well house to be swallowed up by the blue light that might bring her back again in despair for the last time.
