Chapter one: Don't worry, I'm still here.
Everlasting GobStopper
By Saki
Summary: If you fell in love 500 years in the past, but soon your adventures were to end, would you stay with him, or go back home? It's time for Kagome to decide, and she's having trouble with it. She'll spend the summer there,and by the end choose her future. If she stays, she'll go back home with InuYasha for a year and if she leaves, she'll stay until Naraku's dead, and go back home to apply for college. What would you choose? R&R!
You can't get rid of me, I'm still here.
Don't you worry,
I will always be there If only for you...
Kagome hummed, packing a few bags. She was out of school, and wanted to spend as much time with InuYasha before her decision. Would she stay there, when the fight was done, or come back and go to college, and stay with her family, or never see them again for InuYasha? She loved InuYasha more than any thing, and was scared of leaving him. But at the same time never seeing her mother or brother or friends or grandpa ever again...
But, if she stayed here, she'd never see her true friends again. ...Or InuYasha. Shippo was her son, he'd be devastated if she never came back. She sighed, and packed two bikinis in her back, one for her and one for Sango. She thought for a minute. What if they picked up a few more people on the way? She smiled, and threw in three more just in case.
Then she thought about the demons. They were ruthless, and would kidnap them if they were seen in those. She took the bikinis out and put 5 one pieces in (I know, that's a lot of bathing suits but shhh. You can never have too many. XD). She put seven dresses, seven pairs of jeans, seven pairs of shorts, 14 shirts, 5 pajama out fits, and 7 pairs of shoes.
She went down to the stairs, to the kitchen. She put in a separate bag tons of Ramen. All the ramen they owned. She put in some chips, a few water bottles that would be re-filled, some baby food (Sota found a fox that would only eat it.) for babies she was sure Sango would have (if not herself).
She went back up stairs back to her room. If she was going to stay, how could she be sure InuYasha loved her? She knew he didn't, or at least thought so, and that's what was bothering her. She saw InuYasha climb out of the well, and go to the front door. It had been three weeks, he'd promised her. She smiled at his calmness. For once she would go back without InuYasha jumping on her back for being a day late.
He knocked on her door. She let him in. He looked sad. "InuYasha?" Kagome asked.
"Your mom told me. ...About college." Inuyasha said, with his ears down. "...You're not gonna stay are you?" He asked softly, "With me, I mean."
Kagome was shocked. He wanted her to stay? Even if he didn't love her, he wanted her to stay-- with him? She reached out her hand, but took it back. "InuYasha, I didn't know you wanted me to stay. In truth, I don't want to go. I want to stay... w-with you." She smiled softly. She was going to stay! InuYasha looked at her. He stood there, and suddenly grinned. "Great! Now, we need to go back and get the..." He trailed off, not wanting to ruin the moment. Or Kagome's floor.
Kagome looked at him. He'd changed. A lot.
"Don't worry, InuYasha, I'll always be there for you." She said softly, and watched Inuyasha sit on her bed to let her finish packing. "I'm still here, you can't get rid of me..." She sang softly under her breath.
A/N: Well, there you go. Please tell me what you think. When I finish it, chapter six of InuYasha's Christmas will be up!! Thanks for reading, faithful readers I know I don't have!
