Chapter 9

"Ah, that hurt more than I thought it would." Kagome complained, slowly getting off the floor of the well. "I should start climbing. I'm surprised InuYasha hasn't came yet." (AN: HA you though it was gonna be a cliché and he pops up in the middle of her sentence.)

*BACK AT THE WELL HOUSE*

"Did.. She.. Actually ... Just... FLY? IN TO THE WELL?" InuYasha said staring at the well.

*FEUDAL ERA*

"Almost.. There.. Ignore... The pain.." Kagome was chanting this aloud to her self. She was so close to the top, she could feel the wind, smell the air. It was so much different than the air back in her era. It was sweet, and woodsy. Just as her hand clamped on the edge of the well, the purple-blue light had begun to shine.

"Oh no." She said hauling her self over the edge. Not seconds after she hit the ground, InuYasha leaped up out of the well.

"You idiot. Are you hurt?" He said, immediately examining her for wounds. "Why'd you climb when you could fly?" He asked.

"I boosted all my energy into that one moment so I could beat your speed. Pretty smart, huh?" She teased.

"Actually, I think it was pretty dumb." He sounded annoyed now. He stood up, satisfied that she was okay, and swooped her in his arms. When she realized he was about to jump back in the well she shouted.

"NO! We're already here, let's stay a while!" She protested, squirming and clenching her teeth.

"But Kagome, you're hurting your self just wiggling. We need to go back." He said, looking at her thoughtfully. She decided that it was time to pull out the big guns. She thought of all the saddest things ever, and started crying.

"Pleeeeeaaase InuYasha, plea-he-he-hes. I miss them so much!" She knew it was cruel to use this weakness of his to her advantage, but she wasn't about to go back now, not after all the hard work of climbing up the well. InuYasha looked horrified. He sat Kagome down on the edge of the well.

"No, no, no, it's okay, you don't need to cry. We can stay! But just for a day or two." He said smiling trying to make her happy.

"Thank you InuYasha. I love you so much." She kissed him on the lips. "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" She stood up and started off towards the village. Her face clear of any sign of tears.

'She played me...' InuYasha thought to him self. 'That evil witch. Exploiting my weaknesses. Shes lucky I love her.'

*AT THE VILLAGE*

"GUYS WE'RE BACK!" Kagome shouted bursting through the door way. Sango jumped up so fast at the sound of her best friends voice, she dumped her food on Miroku.

"Kagome!" Sango ran to hug her but InuYasha was infront of her in a flash. 'Always so protective.' Kagome thought.

"Sango. Be gentle, she hasn't fully recovered." He gave her an even more threatening look than last time. Sango ignored him this time and pushed him out of her way. She had tears of joy in her eyes.

"Oh, Kagome I thought three reason no one came back was because you died." She said softly hugging her. Kagome hadn't noticed, but Shippo had been shouting and clutching on her leg the whole time. Kaede had left and returned to the hut, holding a purple rosary. As soon as InuYasha saw it, he hide behind Kagome whispering.

"Oh god, not that evil thing." Kagome started laughing. She laughed so hard she fell to the floor in pain from laughter.

"Kagome! Are you okay?" InuYasha said at her side.

"Ye-yes. It's just, you're reaction to seeing the rosary, it was too much for me. " she said still laughing. He gulped. And stood.

"Kagome, if you want to put that god forsaken thing from hell back on my neck, then go ahead. I won't resisted because that is what my love wants." He stated. Fear evident in his voice.

"InuYasha." Kagome said getting up. InuYasha had bent down to help her, then went back up. She put her hands on his face, tilting it. She then leaned up and kissed him. She put as much love towards that kiss as she could. "I'm not going to put the rosary back on you." She said with a gentle smile. His eyes brightened up, and he pulled her in for a powerful, passionate kiss. When they broke apart, InuYasha whispered 'I love you.' They then realized they hadn't told Sango, Miroku, Shippo or anyone other than the people of her era that they were together. Miroku spoke up first.

"It's about damn time." Sango and Shippo just nodded. Then out of no where a huge gust of wind made an awful roar. Everyone ran out side. InuYasha had his arm around Kagome's waist and hip, supporting her. She nearly fainted when she was the cause of the noise.

"Well, well, well. Look who's returned." He said in an annoyingly cocky voice. "Welcome back, Kagome."

"Kouga." She breathed.
