Summary:
It's down to the final two battles for the shards of the Shikon no Tama. Once the group defeats Naraku, Kagome says that she's going home for a few hours to gather some things to celebrate. But what happens, when she is no longer able to cross through the well?
-SOMEWHERE IN THE FOREST-
She lay on her side looking at the glowing embers that used to be a fire. All around her, her friends were sleeping. Inuyasha, the lest likely to ever "truly" sleep, snored soundly. But yet his ears twitched at every sound that the surrounding area made.
Kagome reached down and pulled out the shards of the jewel that they had gathered, since they began this journey. There were only five shards left to get, the three that Naraku has and the two that Kouga has. She sighed and realized that getting the last of the shards are going to be a lot harder to get then the others, because Kagome knows that neither Kouga nor Naraku will part with their shards easily.
Kagome looked around and seen nothing but darkness as the night engulfed the sky. She sat up and held the jewel container to her chest and drew out on a sigh.
"Kagome? What's wrong?"
"Nothing. I was just thinking about the remaining shards. I know Kouga and Naraku aren’t going out without a fight. And I think that if one battle to the death won't kill you, I think that two battles to the death will surely kill you."
"Don't worry Kagome. I'm tougher then I look and you better believe that I'm taking them down. As long as we get the shards together again..."
"That's right." Miroku, the lecherous priest, said. "Kagome, if we all work together there is no doubt that we CAN'T win."
"I know..."
She lay back down and held her hand over her head. "In the morning, I'm going back."
"Going back? To your time Kagome?" Sango, the demon hunter, asked.
"Yes."
"Is that what you really want to do Kagome?" Inuyasha asked, his temper rising, they all could see it. He always kept in his anger, until he explodes, and that was often.
"Inuyasha, do you really want me to stay that badly?" Kagome asked herself as she watched his face for any emotions, but there was none.
Inuyasha was the type of person that showed no emotion at all, yet when he did, he showed a lot of it. He is also the type of person that is always rude and selfish, but also sweet and generous, but that was usually because he wanted something. But he wouldn't be human, if he didn't do that to his companions. Well, half human.
"Yes, it is." She said softly.
"Alright. I can't stop you. You're going to go any way." Inuyasha said, with out giving her a fight.
Even though her fights with Inuyasha, about her going back home, really didn't happen any more, she kind of missed them. After so long, she guessed that he just became bored with all the name calling and yelling at each other. Yeah, they were pointless, but she enjoyed them because it was hers and Inuyasha's thing. He didn't fight with any of the others the way he fought with her. "Inuyasha," Kagome called softly.
"Yeah?"
"I want you to come with me," She said softly.
Miroku, Sango, Inuyasha and Shippo all looked at her.
"To the well."
"Alright."
It’s been awhile since they beat the Band Of Seven, and Kagome didn't know how much time she had left in this world, with all the friends that she made. They were like a close nit family from when they started.
Sango was like Kagome's older sister that she could look up to and be proud of. Shippo was like a second little brother that she could always play jokes on and would always joke back. Kirara was like their pet, though she was more like the family mascot. Miroku was like her older brother, that she would get annoyed because he's so lecherous. And Inuyasha, well she didn't really know what he is. But what she does know is that he's the head of the family.
-LATER THAT MORNING-
Kagome waved bye to her friends that stood just outside of Keade's hut on the edge of the village as she and Inuyasha were headed towards the well. She only told Sango, but she was sure that she was going to relay the message to every one else, but she didn't want Inuyasha to just walk her to the well, she intended to ask him to come with her.
Once she knew that they were all alone, she asked softly, "Inuyasha, how come you don't fight with me any more about going home?"
He was silent for a long while, clearly thinking about his answer. She waited patiently, as they walked around the fields that the villagers grow their crops in. "To be honest, I think that they were getting old and vexing. Why do you ask?"
"It's nothing. I was just wondering. I mean, we're down to the final two battles for the shards that we don't have, and I would think that you were more impatient to get them back, more then before."
"It's true, that I would like to get them back very badly, but I can't do it without you there."
"Great, he still sees me as a shard detector." Kagome thought. "Maybe bringing him back isn't such a good idea..."
Inuyasha looked at her face, and seen that it was starting to get blotchy. "Hmm, what's wrong Kagome?"
"Nothing. I was just thinking."
"You look like you're about to cry, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing! I swear. Why do you always bug me about something when I say I'm fine?"
"Because normally something really is wrong when you say that."
"Well, this time, there isn't. Okay!"
Inuyasha stopped walking. Kagome walked a few more steps, until she noticed that he wasn't by her any more. He just stared at her with one eyebrow raised.
"Come on Inuyasha," She said, as if she were in a hurry.
"I'm not taking another step in that direction until you tell me what's wrong." Inuyasha said, crossing his arms over his chest.
"There is nothing wrong. I swear!"
"Horse shit! What's wrong Kagome?"
She threw her arms up in the air in a dramatic motion, disgusted. "GAH! YOU! You're what’s wrong!"
"Me? Why me?"
"Because, when you talk about the shared and needing me you make me feel unimportant. Just a puppet, of some sorts. A jewel detector, that's it. That's all it makes me feel like." A tear rolled slowly down her cheek.
"Kagome, you're more then that, and you know it." He stepped closer to hug her. "Please stop crying." He hugged her tightly.
She wrapped her arms around his waist and hugged him tightly too.
"You mean more then that," He said softly. "To me, Kagome."
"Oh, Inuyasha!" She buried her face in his chest.
One hand stayed wrapped around her waist while the other one, went to hold, gently, her head to his chest. "I may not show it a lot of the time, but you do matter. To me and everyone else."
"Inuyasha,"
"Hmm?"
"Come home with me?" She asked in the softest vice.
"Sssssssssssshikon Sssssssssshardsssss. Give them to me. Hsssssssssssss" A voice said from the bushes.
"Who are you?"
"What does it matter when you are going to be dead in a matter of moments."
"I don't think so, who are you?"
"Genkai. Now. Give me the Sssshikon Ssssshardssss."
"Never! Iron reaver, soul stealer!"
Within a few seconds, the snake demon was dead.
"Why? I mean, why do you want me to come?"
"Because I don't know how much time we have left and I want to spend it with you. Please Inuyasha."
"Okay."
She smiled up at him and grabbed his hand. She started blushing, while walking. "It's been a year now since this whole thing stated. How much time will I have left in this world, until I can never come back? No, you can't think about that! Think happy thoughts. Mhmm! What to do tonight? What can we do?" Kagome thought as the well came into view. "Dinner and a movie? Skating?" Kagome had to laugh at that, trying to imagine Inuyasha in a pair of skates and, trying to balance himself. "No. As funny as that is to imagine, that's not a good idea... Hmm... Yeh. That'll work. Ice cream and a movie."
"Ready?" Inuyasha asked, as they stopped at the foot of the well.
"Mhmm," She nodded once and he wrapped his arm around her waist. They jumped into the well and disappeared from Inuyasha's time and into Kagome's.
They emerged from the well and Inuyasha put her down on the ground and started walking up the stairs. "Inuyasha, wait."
"What?"
"Gimme your Tetsusaiga. I promise nothing will happen to it."
He looked at her strangely, but decided to comply and give her the sword.
They walked into the house, Kagome called, "I'm home!" Kagome set the sword in the umbrella rack, and hoped no one would notice.
"Kagome?" Her mother called.
"Sis!" Souta shouted, as he seen her standing next to Inuyasha. "Hey Inuyasha." Souta grinned at him.
"Hey lil' squirt. You been good for ya mom?"
"Yep." He smiled.
"Inuyasha, go si-hit and relax in the living room and I'll be there in a minute."
"Okay."
Kagome went into the kitchen and seen her mother standing at the sink. "Mom,"
"Yes dear?"
"Well, we have almost every jewel shard back, but I don't know how much time I've got left with Inuyasha, so um, me and him were going to get out tonight."
"Alright, just be careful and don't get into any trouble."
"Um, well you see, I meant that me and Inuyasha are going out tonight. Like to a dancing club, maybe, but I don't think that Gramps has normal everyday modern people clothes and Dad's are out dated too,"
"Oh. Okay, how much will you need?"
"14,425 yen." (A/N: 14,425 yen is equal to $ 125.01 US Dollars.)
"14,425 YEN?! Are you out of your mind?"
"Please Mom. It's for an outfit for Inuyasha and the expenses for tonight."
"What's wrong with what he has on? All you have to do is give him a baseball cap."
"Mom, how many guys do you see around Tokyo that wear a four hundred year old kimono?"
"So, what do you want me to do about that?"
"Let me borrow 14,425 yen please!" Kagome nearly got down on her hands and knees to beg her mother. "I promise that I'll pay you back. Just please mom?"
"Alright. I'll let you borrow it, But tomorrow before you go back, were going to sit down and discuss a payment plan."
"Thank you mom!" Kagome gave her mother the biggest hug she could without actually jumping on top of her and hugging her. "Oh. By the way, I put his sword in the umbrella rack, make sure that no one messes with it."
"Sure thing."
-WALKING AROUND, AFTER BUYING A NEW OUTFIT FOR INUYASHA-
He felt strange wearing the clothes that Kagome bought for him. He was used to walking around barefoot and his roomy Robe of the Fire Rat. But he wouldn't complain because it was Kagome's wish for him to wear them. He was wearing something that Kagome called "sneakers", to protect his feet. Not so roomy black "jeans" that clung to his hips without being tied there. A tight "muscle" white shirt, and a maroon " short sleeved dress" shirt. And to cover his ears, a black and maroon bandana. while in the store, after he was dressed, she came into the changing room and from her purse she pulled out a long black ribbon and tied his hair back.Kagome looked at him and smiled.
He loved it when she smiled. She has one of the prettiest smiles that he's ever seen. He stopped walking, when she continued, he grabbed her wrist and pulled her back to him. He gently pushed his mouth against hers. At first she resisted, but then gave into the kiss and wrapped her arms around his neck.
When they pulled away, they were both gasping for air. "What was that for?" She asked, trying to catch her breath.
"I have no idea."
"I could get used to that." She gasped. "But I know that I can't." She thought sadly, the expression showing on her face.
"What's wrong now?"
"I don't want you to go." She said as she started to cry.
"Go? Go where?"
"When all this business with the jewel shards is done. I won't really have a reason to come back. I mean, after all this is done, what's going to happen to us?"
"I don't know,"
"Kagome? Kagome, is that you?"
"Great, the interrogation squad." Kagome thought bitterly. Though, she loves her friends very much, sometimes, they just didn't know when to shut up, or leave things alone. Kagome whispered to Inuyasha, "What ever they say, don't take it personally or too hard."
"Why? What are they going to say?"
"OH! It is you Kagome. How are you feeling?" Yuka asked, standing next to a tall and handsome male specimen.
"Hey, Yuka. Who's your friend?"
"This is my boyfriend, Tasaki Akemi."
"Oh, hi. It's nice to meet you. I'm Higurashi Kagome. And this is...Taisho Inuyasha."
"Hey, you guys wanna double?"
"No, I mean, we'd love to, but we already have plans... and they were kind of ...private...."
"Oh, hey. Totally got ya. See ya later Kagome." She winked at Kagome.
Once they were out of ear shot, Inuyasha asked, "Double? What did she mean? And what did you mean by private?"
"She meant, a double date. And as for the other thing, I just meant that I wanted to spend time with you. Alone."
"If you wanted time alone, all you had to do is say so, and you wouldn't have had to borrow that money from your mom."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, all you had to do was so say something. I know where there is some where quiet where no one would have found us..."
Kagome started to blush. "Oh." Up ahead, Kagome seen a store and said, "Wait right here. I'll be right back. Then we can go for that ice cream that I promised you."
"Okay." Inuyasha said a little dumbfounded.
-CONVIENCE STORE-
Kagome walked down the aisle looking at all the different choices. She picked up a small box, then another small box, and her head stared to spin because she didn't know what kind to get. She'd never seen him naked, and she has no clue what his size is.
It's not like she'd come out and ask him. That's a very personal matter. But so was her virginity. She just picked up a box of "original" and headed for the counter.
"Um, excuse me, but do you sell ear plugs?"
The girl that was sitting' behind the counter, was looking at a magazine, and chewing bubble gum.
"Excuse me?"
"No we don't." The girl said, without looking at her. "Is that all I can help you with today?"
"Erm...no. These." She slid the box onto the counter, red faced.
The other girl looked away from her magazine and looked at Kagome. Then she stated laughing. "Let me guess, your first time buying them?"
"N-no."
The girl laughed even harder. She rang Kagome in for her purchase and then bagged them.
"Um, do you know any where around here that I could buy ear plugs?"
"There's a store, down that way." The clerk said.
"Thank you."
"Hey, good luck with them and who ever they're for." The clerk snickered.
Kagome grumbled all the way back to Inuyasha.
"About time. I was just about to go looking for you." Inuyasha said a little irritated. People that walked by him, while he was leaning against the tree were really starting to get to him.
"Sorry. Do you mind if we make another quick stop before the ice cream?"
"Where to?"
"Just a store. I don't know the name of it. But it'll be worth it, believe me."
For some odd reason to Inuyasha, he suddenly got images in his mind of Kagome in a hadajuban, laying on a futon, just back from bathing, so her hair is still wet. One side of the hadajuban slipped off her peach colored breast, to reveal a pink pert nipple. He imagined her with her hand on her flat stomach, slowly inching towards her beast. Her eyes were closed, while she pinched her nipple between her fingers, "...Inuyasha.... Mmm..." she called out softly.
The scent of his own arousal brought him back to reality. He moaned to himself and looked over at Kagome, who was oblivious to his uncomfortable sexual state. "Kagome," he called quietly.
"Yes?"
"Is there a bathroom some where near by?"
Kagome was impressed with Inuyasha, he asked if there was a bathroom instead of just going. She smiled up at him and then looked around. "Hmm..." she said, more to herself then him. "Ah. I see a store up here, that will definitely have what I'm looking for, and I'm sure that they have a bathroom also. Can you hold it till then?"
"I'm not sure, but I hope so."
They walked in silence a little more, until Kagome said, "You know Inuyasha, I'm very proud of you."
"Why's that?"
"Because. You asked, and just didn't do."
"Well, this is a personal matter, I don't think that people here would want to see me... using the bathroom out in the open..."
