Chapter 3

(A/N: I'm sorry this is almost exactly like the episode "Go back to your own era" but I'm having a loss for chapters, bear with me as I regain my imaginary impulses.)

"InuYasha, thank you for saving me."

"Heh, whatever."

~Kagome's POV~

I smiled as InuYasha carried me on his back to Kaede's hut. Surprised he snarled to the others that he wanted us to be alone. After they were out of earshot, InuYasha took me to the well. He placed me on my butt and he sat across from me, his back against the well.

"InuYasha? Are you alright?" The next thing I knew, he hugged me. Something he'd never done up to this point. "InuYasha, w-what are you doing?"

"I was afraid."

"Huh?" I looked at his silver hair and closed my eyes, "He was scared for me?"

"I thought you were going to die. I was petrified. Kagome, I don't want to lose you."

I blinked, "InuYasha, are you feeling alright?"

He smiled and pulled away from me a little bit, "I'm fine. Its just... I don't want you to get hurt anymore, Kagome."

He hugged me again and then after a few more seconds, he threw me to the ground, "The hell? Was all this a lie?"

"I'll hold on to these for a little while," he said, holding up the jewel fragments. "Kagome, GO BACK TO YOUR OWN ERA!"

That was a week ago. I sat on the edge of my bed and looked at my feet. "That InuYasha! I'll go show him!"

I strutted to the well and threw myself over the side, but when I reached the bottom, I looked up and the shrine was still there. "I-I can't get back!" I started to cry. I pulled my knees up and buried my head in my knees and cried. I cried so hard that I fell asleep, inside the well. It was past midnight when I finally woke up to my mom yelling my name.

"Kagome! Where are you? Kagome!"

"I'm in the well! I fell asleep!" I crawled out, "Mom! I-I can't get back!"

She embraced me, "Do you miss him that much, sweetheart?"

I nodded to my surprise, "I do," I said truthfully, "I love him, Mom. I want to see him again."

She smiled, "I know you'll do what you have to, Kagome."

A month went by and I still couldn't travel back in time. Since then, I'd been able to catch up on my schoolwork, but mostly I think about InuYasha. His memory is still instilled in my brain. I can't get him out. "What's that?" I look out my window, "I... I can sense a shard close by, but... how? InuYasha has them all, unless..." My eyes grow wide and I rush out to the well, I jump inside and there, through the well is a jewel shard. "If..." starts digging, "I... can... just... reach... it..." I quickly pick it up and I come face-to-nose with Shippo.

"Kagome! You're back!"

"Its good to see you too, Shippo. Uhh.. why is there a tree in the well?"

"InuYasha tried to cover up this world from yours. He said that you would be safer in your own world. I tried to pull it out. I thought you'd never get back to us!"

I hugged Shippo like a mother would a child, "Its ok, Shippo. I'm here now. Where's InuYasha?"

"He's fighting a demon that can vomit three eyed dogs..."

I heard snarling and I look up and see the dogs that Shippo described, "Uh, those?"

Shippo nodded, "Mhm. InuYasha's still not better from his previous wounds from Naraku. He hasn't had time to heal!"

I stood up, pain searing through my own foot, "And InuYasha thought it would be better if I stayed home! Hm! How ungrateful."

"I can smell it! Her scent!" InuYasha gripped and released the Tetsuiaga's full ability and lopped the demon's head off. As Shippo and I were climbing up out of the well, I saw him. InuYasha.

Without another thought, I ran to him. "InuYasha!" Full force, I gripped his waist, surprised he hugged me back, tears formed in my eyes.

"Kagome, what the hell are you doing here? I told you to stay away!"

"I thought you died!"

"Huh?"

"I thought you were dead because you didn't come back to get me this time."

I felt him sigh and hug me closer, "I'm sorry, Kagome. If I'd known, I wouldn't-"

I looked at him and placed my hand on his face, "I know. I- I love you, InuYasha."

He blinked and blushed furiously, "Kagome. I, uh," sighs, "I love you too."
