Hope you like the chapter!
Disclaimer: "Who owns the Manga/Anime 'Inuyasha'?" The gameshow host asked. "Not me!" I answered truthfully, "You are the weakest link, Goodbye!" The gameshow host said to me, booting me off the show. "Well F you!" I yelled, as security pulled me off stage, kicking and screaming. (IDK, I was just really bored when I did this disclaimer!)

True Love Truly Gone
Chapter 2: Is Our Love Really Over?
Kagome watched as the kids played in the park. They were all so happy, without a worry to grimace their faces. Kagome was not, she had remembered the pain she'd tried to bury. Since her morning shower, she'd had been having a bad day. Then her phone rang. She picked it up, looking at the caller ID on the screen. Her mother.
"Hey, Mom." She said, unenthusiastically.
"Hi, Dear. Come over, your grandfather found something for you." Mrs. Higarashi told her.
"What?" Kagome asked, expecting some sort of dried ancient food.
"A letter." She answered, trying to be inconspicuous.
"From who?" Kagome was perplexed. Her mail hadn't come to her mother's house since before she had gotten married.
"Uh... Inuyasha..." her mother confessed.
"Throw it out!" She demanded.
"No, I think you want to read this..." She coaxed.
"Do you not remember what happened?" Kagome asked, rhetorically.
" I do, hon, but this might change things. See you in 20 minutes." Her mother hung up, not wanting to explain over the phone.
"Thanks, Mom." Kagome rolled her eyes, wrangling in the children. She drove to her mother's house, wondering how a letter could possibly change things. She walked into the door, kids in toe.
"Alright, show me." Kagome sighed.
Her mom handed a small piece of folded rice-paper with writing on it to Kagome. It was definately from Inuyasha. She could tell through the paper that it was his handwriting. She opened the note, which was very short, and read it.
Kagome,
I still love you. Come back.
- Inuyasha.
She stood there, reading the words over and over again, thinking if it could really be true.
"Are you going to go back?" Mrs. Higarashi asked, a gleam of excitement in her eyes.
Meanwhile, With Inuyasha
Inuyasha sat watching the well, once again. He wished that Kagome might come through that very second. But that wasn't possible. She was gone, forever.
"Hey Inuyasha!" Shippo said, cheerfully.
"Why are you so happy?" Inuyasha asked, bitterly.
"Oh no reason, Inuyasha." He lied.
"What are you up to?" Inuyasha narrowed his eyes, looking at Shippo, suspiciously. Then he smelled a scent he hadn't smelled in 3 years- Kagome's. "What did you do?" He questioned, angry, as Kagome climbed out of the well.
"Oops! Did I drop a note into the well by accident? I'm sorry!" Shippo apologized, sarcastically.
"You little --!" Inuyasha grabbed Shippo by the tail, about to pound him.
"Inuyasha." Kagome said.
"Kagome." Inuyasha breathed.
"Is it true?" Kagome handed the rice paper note to Inuyasha.
He opened it and read it. The handwriting was remarkably similar to his own, but it wasn't. "Shippo!" He growled. "I told you not to mess with this! I told you notto get Kagome to come back!"
"Oh, it's not true. Okay then." Kagome turned around, eyes brimming with tears, starting to walk away.
"Kagome, I didn't say it wasn't true... I just didn't write it." He said, not wanting to see her in pain any longer.
"What do you mean?" Kagome asked, not turning around.
"I do still love you. I dowant you to come back." Inuyasha said helplessly.
"Why did you make me leave then?" Kagome asked, angrily.
"Your's... And the pup's... lives were, still are, in danger." Inuyasha admitted.
"From what?" Kagome asked, confused.
"A demon. I can't kill it. I've been trying to kill it since we got married." He said in anguish.
"That's all? Well, I'm sure if we work together--"
"Kagome, no. It's almost killed me several times. But it doesn't finish me off. It wants to keep me alive so it can watch me suffer." Inuyasha cut her off.
"Well, I bet it's pretty happy now." Shippo noted.
"Why?" Kagome questioned.
"Because Inuyasha is suffering. From you and the pups being gone." Shippo explained.
"I'd rather have you and the pups safe in the future without me, than here in danger with me. I can't lose you like that." Inuyasha told Kagome, in anguish.
"Why don't you just come to the future with me then?" She suggested.
"You know I don't belong there." Inuyasha answered.
"Well if you tried... What's the harm? The kids need their father, and I need you..." Kagome said, she had been defeated by the truth of her own words. She didn't mean to sound so desperate, but indeed she was.
"Okay, we'll try.But I don't know about it..." Inuyasha agreed, desiring more than ever to be back with his loving family again.
"It'll be fine, Inuyasha. I promise." Kagome smiled, taking Inuyasha's hand.
"If you say so..." Inuyasha said in his generally annoyed-sounding voice, then he kissed her, like he hadn't in years (well he hadn't).
