**AUTHORS NOTE:**Chapter five:
-THE MORNING OF KAGOME'S 17TH BIRTHDAY, MARCH 15, 2007-
The sun was brightly shining into her room as she slowly awoke. Everything seemed right with the world.
Smiling, she stretched and yawned. Feeling really good, she went over to her window and opened it. She took a deep breath, holding it for a few seconds, then letting it out.
"Today is the day that I tell Inuyasha!" She thought happily.
She stood up and quickly dressed.
Ever since she found out that she couldn't return to the past, every morning she's tried and has failed every time. But she felt different about this time. Because it's the anniversary of the day that she first passed through the well.
She stood in front of the mirror, slowly her hands went to the small bump on her stomach. It's not noticeable to any one else but her. Because it's her body and she knows it better then any one else. Not even her mother had figured it out yet.
She looked down and smiled. Thinking of the time that she, her child and Inuyasha could share. Possibly she'd stay in the feudal era forever. Then she became sad at that thought. She couldn't do that. Not to her mother, not to Souta, not to Grandpa... and not to her friends.
But really what are the lengths that she's willing to go to be with him again?
There was a soft knock on the door. Her head snapped to look at the door, dropping her hands, she went over to the door and answered it. There, her mother was standing.
"Kagome!... You seem very....chipper this morning."
"I feel great Mama!" Kagome said as she wrapped her arms around her in a big hug.
"Well, I just wanted to come and see if you were awake, and say Happy Birthday."
"Thank you Ma."
"Are you going to be home later? I mean, around two, I wanted to have some cake."
"Yep."
Watching her mother walk away, she couldn't help but feel sad while smiling. She couldn't help but feeling a bit of sadness, she didn't want to be like her mother. Not that her mother wasn't great. She just didn't want to be a single mother doing everything in her power to make sure that her child had everything that she needed.
Other then her mother, Souta, and her Grandfather, people in this day and age, people didn't see much of demons, and if they did, they don't much understand them. She didn't want to think about the cruelty that her child might face. She knew that Inuyasha had it bad, but she didn't want to think about what the people today would do to her, or her child.
Shaking those thoughts from her mind, she grabbed the jewel and then she happily bounced down the stairs. Then ran outside to well and tried her luck. Today is supposed to be a happy day. She was going to tell Inuyasha about their child. She couldn't have such negative thoughts clouding her mind. Not now, not ever!
Jumping in, she thought that it didn't work at first, but then she seen the blue light. Perking up, Kagome hugged herself trying to savor the moment. Once she touched ground, she closed her eyes, not able to look at that moment. She knelt at the bottom of the well for a few moments, listening to the sounds of nature outside the well. She smiled to herself thinking that she finally did it, but her smile faded quickly as she looked up and seen the darkened room the mini shrine that held the well.
She punched the side of the well. "WHY!?"
A few minutes later, she stomped her way off the shrine grounds and down the stairs.
-SENGOKU ERA, 1537, BONE EATER'S WELL-
Today would be the last time that before he gives up on the well, trying to see her again. He hated quitting, but it was pointless to keep trying if something didn't work. He looked down into the well, but all he seen was nothing but darkness. He jumped in. Then he saw it, the blue light that always surrounded him and Kagome when they would jump through. smirking, he wait to see the bottom of Kagome's well.
Once he touched ground, he looked up. Staring at it blanklessly. He then became very angry. "DAMN IT!" Jumping out of the well, he kicked the side of the well. Taking his anger out on the well, instead of the person that he wanted to most. Himself.
"You miss her that much, don't you, Otôto"
Inuyasha growled, truly angry. He drew Tetsusaiga, taking his fighting stance. "BASTARD!"
"The Inuyasha I know could never let a mere well stop him."
Inuyasha stopped, flabbergasted. "What do you know of it?"
"Only enough that that was your only way to her."
"BASTARD! What did you do to her?!"
"Nothing. But that isn't the question you should be asking me. What you should be asking yourself what would you be willing to risk to be with her again."
"What did you do to her?!"
"It's not what I did, or didn't do that is keeping her from this world."
Inuyasha charged Sesshomaru, tired of all his antics and his babbling. Seeing it coming, Sesshomaru drew Tokijin, and blocked Inuyasha's attack, pushing them both backwards from the force they both put into fighting each other.
"Sit here and mope all you want. But it's not going to bring her back here. At least not that way." He indicated the well.
Inuyasha backed up a little more, looking at his brother, truly dumbfounded.
Seeing the look that Inuyasha was giving him and why, her merely stated, "I now understand Father's interest in humans. And yours too, Otôto. They come into your life, make deep impacts, and then leave. But it's when they leave that you truly understand just how much they have impacted had made your life."
-A FEW HOURS LATER, TOKYO JAPAN, 2007, A NEAR BY PARK-
Kagome lay in the grass, near the edge of the pond, looking up at the sky. She reached down and touched her stomach. "Will I ever see him again? Will I be able to tell him...?"
Sensing that she was being watched, she slowly sat up, and slowly looked around, as if she were merely looking at the nature around her. Not seeing anything suspicious, she laid back down. Her time spent in the Sengoku Era with Inuyasha and the others, has really put her sense on alert.
Going back to her thoughts while looking up at the trees. "Would people of this time accept my child or shun it. No my child isn't an it." But she wasn't sure what to call the child if she didn't know if it was a boy or girl.
Sitting up again, she hugged her knees to her chest. "Inuyasha.... What are you doing right now? What's happening to you?"
--EDO JAPAN, 1537, KEADE'S HUT-
He leaned against the wall, his head tipped back and his eyes closed. "'But it's when they leave that you truly understand just how much they have impacted had made your life.'" He thought back to the well, with his brother. "What the hell is he talking about?!" He asked himself.
Sharply opening his eyes and straightening up, "How the hell did he know about the well?! How long?! And what else does he know?!"
Leaning against the wall again with a long sigh, he caught the scent, very faint, but it was still there. He breathed in deeply, taking in her scent. "Kagome...Its been three weeks...what could be happening to you?"
-FLASH BACK-
It was the night that they'd all defeated Naraku, where Inuyasha and Kagome were alone, in a small hut somewhere off in the distance from the village. They had just built a fire and were now sitting in front of it. He was sitting cross-legged, while she had her knees pulled into her chest.
He was leaning against the wall, his head titled back with his eyes closed. His ears twitched when he heard her move, but he didn't open his eyes to see what she was doing. And then he felt her lay her head on his shoulder.
She grabbed his hand and let it fall to his thigh, still holding his hand. He rubbed his thumb against her finger, not wanting to say a word. Not wanting to brake this moment in time.
Moments later, she pulled away from him. She turned around and faced him. She got up and sat on his legs, facing him. "Kagome... wha-"
She gently touched her finger to his lips. "Don't speak." She said in a low voice. "Just watch and...feel..." She barely touched the Beads of Subjugation, turning them other on her fingertips. "You've had these on for far too long. I'm sorry, for all the times that I sat you... in my anger... I'm way to harsh for that."
She leaned toward him and gently kissed his lips. She gripped the beads in both hands and pushed herself towards him. He moaned into her mouth as he felt the heat coming from her core.
She lifted the beads off his neck and threw them on the floor somewhere. He pulled her closer, moaning again as he smelled her arousal.
-END FLASH BACK-
He gripped the Beads of Subjugation in his hand. "I wish that you were here...with me...." He thought sadly. "Do you miss me as much as I miss you? Do...do you even remember me?" He waited a few moments, then said, aloud, "No. That's a silly question...."
He was alone. No one remembered Kagome. It was as if she never existed in their lives. It was only after a few hours that everyone forgot. Everyone that is, except him.... and strangely, Sesshomaru.
He grasped the beads tightly in his hand. "I'm going to make a promise to you Kagome; as the gods are my witnesses, if I become a full demon by the time that I see you again, I will always come back to you!" (A/N: This means in the physical, not the mind.)
-TOKYO JAPAN, 2007-
"I will always find my way back to you..." A voice said in her mind.
"HIS" voice.
"Arf!"
Kagome looked down and seen a small white puppy, wagging it's tail happily. "Inu...Inuyasha..."
The puppy tilted his head to the side, as if asking "Who?"
Kagome's heart sack a little more then it was the past few weeks. All she wanted was for him to hold her in his arms. Kagome reached down and petted the puppy. After a few moments, she picked him up and hugged him to her chest. "Inuyasha..."
Kagome noticed that here was no collar, she held him out in front of her and asked, "OK, lil' puppy who's your owner?"
"Arf. Arf. Arf!" He barked happily.
Kagome smiled. Setting him down, she looked around, but seen no one that was looking for something, let alone, a small puppy. She started walking away, hoping that the puppy wouldn't follow. But he did. Turning around, she pointed a finger at him and said, "No. Stay."
He sat, tilting his head, looking up at her.
"Good boy." She started walking away again. The puppy started following again. She turned around, and said, "No. Sit," Kagome quickly looked up, "No... it couldn't be..." Looking around, she didn't see anything that would indicate that Inuyasha was around. Thought she could have sworn that she felt the ground shake a little.
He tilted his head to the side, he looked up at her and panted happily, thinking that this is nothing but a game.
She stated walking again, and again the puppy followed. She stopped, knelt down and picked him up. "Do you intend to follow me home, little pup?"
"Arf!" He barked happily.
Kagome laughed and started off towards her home once again.
Awhile later, she walked into the entry way to her house, took off her shoes and put on her slippers. "I'm home!" he called once walking into the main room.
"Come into the kitchen dear," Her mother called.
Kagome let the puppy down and walked towards the kitchen. When she opened the door , the first thing she heard was, "SURPRISE! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KAGOME!"
She seen her whole family. Mom, Souta, Gramps, her Aunt Sakura, her American husband. Their two children, Ginger and Yuu. Her friends, Eri, Ayumi Yuka Hojo, and two other people that she'd never seen before.
"Omaesan, Kagome-chan." The other American boy said, bowing.
"Eh?! O-omaesan..." She bowed too. Kagome didn't like this guy, she was getting a bad vibe from him. And if anything, she always trusted her instincts. Being in the Feudal Era, you had to trust your instincts no matter what.
"Kagome, let's go to your room!" Her cousin said, grabbing onto her arm and pulling her and her American friend.
Once in her room, Ginger introduced Kagome to her friend. "Kagome, this is my friend Usagi." In English, she said "Serena, this is Kagome, as you know."
"Hello, it's nice to meet you." Kagome said in semi broken English.
The girl smiled.
"So Kagome, what’s going on with you?"
"Nothing much, school.... Um... is it ok, if I go get my friends?"
"Oh Gosh! I'm sorry, they must think that I'm so rude! Yes, bring them in... And that cute boy too."
Once Kagome left, Serena said, "Ging, I feel really awkward. I don't speak Japanese."
"It's alright. I'll translate everything for you."
"Sometimes I can't trust your judgment." Serena muttered.
"What was that?"
"Nothing!"
Walking up the stairs, Kagome seen her mother at the top. "You guys go in, I'll be right there. I just have to talk to my mother for a moment."
"Alright." Eri, Ayumi, and Yuka said. Hojo was with the boys, so she wasn't going to even bother.
"What is it Kagome?"
"I'm going to sleep by the well tonight."
"Are you sure?"
"Hai." Seeing her puppy waddling towards her, she smiled and picked him up.
"Kagome, when did you get a dog?"
"I didn't... sort of. He followed me home. I'll put up posters saying that we found him and everything. But can we keep him till we find his home?"
"Alright. I’ll go shopping later for his food."
The puppy licked her face. she went into her room, closing the door behind her.
