Chapter three
I do not own Inuyasha
XxXxX
Kagome was sitting her old bed in her bedroom. Next to her bed, you could still see the marks where she sat 'sit' on him in her sleep. Looking out the window, she could also see the scar on the ground that the Wind Scar left. She sighed deeply and heard a bell ring.
Standing up, she walked over to the door, and opened it and looked down the hall. She sighed and slipped on her shoes at the front door and opened it. A young women with dark hair was standing in the door way. Kagome stared at her for a few minutes.
"Um... Who are you?" She looked so fimilar.
"Kagome...? Kagome!? Is that you!?" The women said grabbing her arms and shakeing the hell out of her. Kagome nodded and stared at her. The women put her hands on her hips. "Well, that's some friendly greatings. Tell me, have you already forgotten who I am? It's me, Eri."
"Eri!? ERI!?!?!" Kagome squealed and threw her arms around her best friend and hugged her tightly. "Who, you look so different, no wonder I couldn't recongize you."
"Yeah, well, aren't you gonna invite me in?"
Kagome shook her head yes and pulled Eri away from the dojo and they walked over to the bench sitting next to the sacred tree. Kagome, just realizeing it was there, smiled up at it.
"Where's Ayume and Yuka?"
"Oh... um..." Eri took a deep breath. "Kagome... Yuka is living in the States now."
"And Ayume?"
Eri licked her lips, not wanting to tell her best friend what had happened. "No, I don't want to tell you, I'll tell you later, but now's not the time." Eri finally said, taking both of Kagome's hands. Kagome noticed Eri's ring.
"Oh my god! You're married!? To who?" Kagome asked with delight. Eri looked at her ring and smiled.
"You'll never believe me even if I told you." Eri said, she took Kagome's hand and dragged her towards the top of the stairs. "Come on, I'll show you to him, he's sitting outside with our two month old."
"You're a mother?! Oh my god! When, is it a boy or girl!? Who's the father?" Kagome bomb barded Eri with tons of questions.
"Wow girl, calm down now. First I want you to see him first, before I tell you." Kagome could see a car at the bottom, and the windows were tinted too, so she couldn't look in. The front door opened and a tall man with brown hair stepped out and looked up at them. Kagome almost fell over from shock.
"Hojo!?!?" She squealed, and turned to Eri "You married HOJO!?" Eri laughed and waved at Hojo. Hojo was stareing up at Kagome, trying to recall who she was.
"Yup, what? Are you that surprised?" Eri asked. Kagome shook her head yes slowly and looked back at him.
"Eri, we best get going if we want to get home in time." Hojo called. Eri nodded and grabbed Kagome's hand. "Come on, I want you to come with us Kagome."
"Wait... First, Eri, what is wrong with Ayume? Is she..." She couldn't say the word. Eri shook her head no.
"No, Ayume is still alive, but she's not... herself... anymore. That's all I will tell you. I don't think you can handle it just yet." Kagome nodded and walked down the rest of the stairs. She looked at Hojo, and he looked like he did in JR. High.
"K--Kagome? Is that really you?" Hojo asked, stupidified. "When did you wake up from the coma?!"
"Oh, umm, four months ago. I've been in the hospital recovering though, and I only got here earily this morning." Kagome answered. Hojo nodded and gave her a friendly hug. Kagome was stunned and hugged back, stiffly. Eri smiled and shook her head.
"Don't worry, my friend, I'm not the jealous type." Kagome nodded, a sigh of relief escaped her lips. Eri laughed and so did Hojo. "Now, in you go!"
Eri said opening the back door for Kagome. Kagome sat down next to the baby seat and started to coo at her. The baby giggled and grooled and waved her arms around. Kagome laughed and Eri took the other seat in the back. Hojo took the drivers seat and they where off! Hojo makes a sharp turn! He missed another car by inches. He skidds fourty feet, flipps three times and slams into a tree!! No no, the horror! lol, sorry, I just had to add that. (Didn't happen though, just to let you know)

"Stop pushing damnit!" Inuyasha shouted and jumped out of Sango's and Miroku's reach. Landing up in a tree, he was glareing at them all.
"Inuyasha, what if somthing terrible happened to her? And that she could be dead or 'out of it'" Sango said, glareing back at him. Inuyasha took a deep sigh and looked at his true friends. They have been by his side though so many of his problems... his main thoughts now were about Kagome and only her. No matter how hard he tried to forget about her, he still couldn't forget.
Inuyasha sighed again. "Fine, I'll go..." He grumbled. "Only because you two wouldn't shut up about it!" He added quickly, looking at their smug faces. Sango smiled and the two humans started walking along the trail again. Leaving Inuyasha behind in the tree.
"Hey! Aren't you gonna wait for me!?" He shouted, jumping down from the tree.
"Oh, you're fast, you can catch up." Miroku called.
"No dilly-dally now. We need to get to the well." Sango said. Inuyasha walked behind them, arms crossed.
"Some friends..." He said to himself, but couldn't stop the smile spreading arcoss his face. For the first time in eleven years, he was gonna get to see Kagome again, hopefully. Hey, if anything was worth smileing about, that was! He thought back to all the other times he went to check on her.
The others didn't know that he went, but he did. Too many times to count, but each time, well... ended badly.
The only living thing in that house was Buyo the cat. He felt sorry for the cat and started to bring it a ton of food every other day so that it wouldn't starve to death. He wanted to take it back though the well with him, but Kagome might not like the idea too much and he might end with a 'sit'.
After a while, the rotting smell of wood met his nose once more as the four of them standing in front of the well. Inuyasha walked up to it and jumped up on the side and knelt down and looked though it.
He could still smell her, and the smell was still strong. A strange feeling enclosed his heart and he held his chest. "Am I scared?" He whispered to himself. Of course he was scared, he had every right to be. What he thought was that Kagome and her family packed and moved away. They must have forgotten the cat. There was no other thing that came to mind that could explain what happened.
Inuyasha sighed deeply, summoned up some courage and leaped though the well. The blue light flooded around him. He stopped coming back four or five years ago, it was pointless, to keep coming back and have your heart smashed to find out that no one was still there. But he still kept the well in halfway decent condition.
He jumped up out of the well, and hit wood with his head. Gripping the top of his head, he looked up and growled and jumped up harder this time. Ripping his way out of the wood blocking the well, he jumped to the stairs. Looking back behind him, he could see that the roof collasped on its own. Dread took over fear and he walked out of the well house.
His heart almost stopped when he heard it. Her voice, he could recongize that voice from anywhere, and it was coming from the stairs. He rushed towards the stairs, but he didn't see her. He could see a black car driving away, but Kagome was no where in sight.
He fell backwards and stared at the road below. He knew he heard her, he just knew it! Jumping up, he ran inside and ran towards her room. Bursting though the door, he saw it. A bag, he walked over to it and picked it up and sniffed it. So, Kagome had come back after all these years. This was new, and parts of the house was different, changed, cleaned up some.
Suddenly, all his bravo fled and he started to panic, what if she didn't want to see him? What if she was mated to another and had pups of her own? What if--What if-- What if--What if-- What if--What if-- What if-- "UGH!! ENOUGH WITH THE 'WHAT IF'S" Inuyasha shouted and jumped out of her window and ran towards the well, in a pitiful attent to avoid yet another broken heart.
