Chapter 1: Hensetsu

Kagome sat down on the grass and pulled her yellow book bag towards her. Slowly she started to pack it full with left over food, blankets, and such. Suddenly arms wrapped themselves around her shoulders. Kagome jumped and tried to spin around in the arms that held her so tightly.

"Guess who?" A strong voice whispered in her ear.

Kagome stopped struggling and relaxed in the arms. "Inuyasha, what if someone sees us?"

"They won't I sent Miroku, Sango and the runt off on a hunt for some of your stupid herbs."

Kagome laughed at how Inuyasha called Shippo runt all the time. Over the past few years of them chasing Naraku all the time Kagome and Inuyasha had grown closer to each other. It all seemed to be true that one night Inuyasha saw Kagome take a bath in the hot springs. He had no control over himself and he confessed his love to Kagome. Ever since then every moment they got alone Inuyasha and her would share a romantic moment. Inuyasha really was a lot nicer when he was loving, Kagome had noticed.

Inuyasha kissed Kagome on the cheek and stepped back right before Sango, Miroku, and Shippo came walking out from the forest. Once again Sango and Miroku were at each other's throat.

"Well Miroku if we hadn't taken the right turn then we never would have found the demon now would we?" Sango argued.

"So what we got rid of it didn't we?" Miroku countered.

Sango threw her hands up, "I give up Miroku! That's not the point though we barely got out alive!"

Miroku shook his head, "Okay Sango what ever you say."

Kagome smiled at her friend when she came to sit next to her. "Hello Sango and how was your trip?"

"Hell." She said shortly, "Here's the herbs and I take it your leaving again tonight."

Kagome nodded taking the bag of herbs from Sango. "Yes I have one more exam and then I have the whole summer here with you all."

"Well that's good news!" Sango exclaimed hugging Kagome.

"Yes it is. I am leaving in about an hour and I'll be back in 3 days, okay?" Kagome asked.

"Fine with me. Have you asked Inuyasha though?"

Kagome nodded, "Of course I have he said 'hmph' that's all"

Sango laughed at Kagome copycatting Inuyasha. It was so uncommon to get an answer out of Inuyasha besides, 'hmph'. Kagome finished packing and then stood up. She slung it over her shoulder and walked to where Inuyasha was perched up in a tree.

"Hey!" She yelled up.

No answer.

"Inuyasha!" She called again.

Still no answer.

"Hate to do this but---SIT!!!!!" Kagome yelled as a hanyou dressed in red fell from the tree and slammed into the ground making a five-foot deep hole.

"Wench." Inuyasha muttered.

"What was that Inuyasha?" Kagome asked sliding down into the hole.

"Nothing."

Kagome knew Sango, or the others wouldn't come over here so she quickly kissed Inuyasha on the cheek and whispered, "Gomen Inuyasha please forgive me."

"I do Kagome besides I'm use to it." Inuyasha whispered back.

Kagome smiled down at him and then jumped out of the hole and over to the well. She waved to her friends, and then jumped into the portal that would take her back home. Falling through the many dimensions Kagome smiled at the thought of Inuyasha and how much she cared about him. She appeared at the bottom of the well and climbed easily out of the well by using the rope ladder, her mother put there every 2 weeks for her. She opened the doors to the well house and stepped out into the bright sun. She walked to the house and slipped in the key. Unlocking the front door Kagome stepped in. *Back home*, Kagome thought happily.

She checked the clock and saw that it was only noon; her mother wouldn't be home for another 2 hours. She dropped her bag on the couch and went into the kitchen. Kagome took out a soda from the fridge and opened it. Drinking it she headed upstairs. She was exhausted and thought about taking a nap. She collapsed onto her bed, gave one big yawn and was asleep in seconds.

^:Back in Feudal Japan.^

Inuyasha ran through the trees following the scent. Why had he had to smell it now? Why? Everything was so good and right now. So why did he have to smell that filthy scent now? Inuyasha ran into a clearing and he stopped. There it was the thing that was admitting that scent.

"Kikyo", Inuyasha whispered in disgust.

"My, my, my Inuyasha you still remember my name. What a shock." Kikyo said. She stepped closer to Inuyasha and he stepped back away from her.

"What's going on Kikyo?" Inuyasha asked sternly.

"Nothing Inuyasha. I just wanted to see you one more time before I leave." Kikyo said her voice seemed sad.

"What do you mean before I leave?" Inuyasha questioned.

Kikyo let out a fake laugh that sent chills down Inuyasha's spine. "Well I think it's time I leave this world and go back to what I was, dead. And as I see my reincarnation has taken you from me so what is the point in I staying?"

Inuyasha thought hard, it seemed as if he couldn't move. Wait! He couldn't move! "Kikyo what did you do to me?"

"Nothing bad Inuyasha it's just I thought that if I can't have you I'll take you." Kikyo said before reaching Inuyasha and kissing him passionately.

Inuyasha tried to move tried to resist but all feeling left in his body, left him and he collapsed and gave into Kikyo. Why was he doing this? He could fight it couldn't he? So why wasn't he? Inuyasha tried to think about Kagome and how much he loved her---but here was Kikyo. So many years ago Inuyasha had dreamt about holding her, kissing, caressing, loving Kikyo and then she died and he got stuck to a damn tree. Now 50 years later he was here with her, loving, caressing, and kissing her. But so much had changed Inuyasha loved Kagome, he did! So why was his body saying no to stopping and yes to making love to Kikyo? Inuyasha couldn't fight it.

^.Back in Kagome's Time.^

Kagome woke up to the darkness of her room. *I'm so stupid how could I forget it*? Kagome thought hitting herself on the head to punish herself. She kicked off her sheets and stretched to the ceiling.

"Hmmm guess I have to go back and get it", Kagome said miserably. She really just wanted to sleep right then but she had to go back to the Feudal Era and get her textbook for her final exam.

Kagome quietly slipped down the stairs to the front door. She opened it and stepped out into the chilly night air. Kagome shivered for a second before heading towards the well house. She welcomed the warm air inside the house. Kagome jumped into the well and closed her eyes as she fell through the many times, before reaching the other side of the well and landing on the soft ground. Kagome straightened herself and grabbed a hold of the long vine extending from the top. She climbed out of the well and landed softly on the ground. Kagome scanned her surroundings, it was dark and she suddenly got scared that some demon might be out hunting and an urge to eat human for dinner. Kagome sternly shook her head and took a deep breath. That was nonsense; she shouldn't be scaring herself like that.

Kagome walked a few feet when she heard some noises in the forest to her left. Curious Kagome started for the trees. She suddenly stopped, at the sounds that were coming from behind the bushes and trees. Grunting, moaning, and occasionally muffled screaming were coming from behind the bushes. Kagome would have turned around and left whoever was behind the bushes alone if it wasn't for what she heard next.

"INUYASHA!" A woman's voice screamed.

Kagome stopped as she recognized the voice. Kikyo, She thought.

Kagome ran to the bush and pulled it back. She screamed when she saw the sight in front of her. There was Inuyasha making love to Kikyo. Inuyasha stopped and turned around to see Kagome. His mouth dropped and his eyes clouded.

"Kagome." He whispered.

She backed up and tried to tear her eyes away from the horrible sight. But all she could see was Inuyasha and Kikyo making love over and over again. Kikyos terrible smile when she looked at Kagome, a smile that ripped at Kagomes heart piece by piece. Then there was Inuyasha, his eyes they pleaded with Kagome, so much pain was in them but Kagome couldn't believe it. No, not Inuyasha and Kikyo---it couldn't be, no it wasn't! It was some kind of sick joke, to prove how much Kagome loved Inuyasha, yes that was it! It had to be! But no matter how many times Kagome told herself that the more it seemed to be a fantasy to her. It was right there! The truth was right there in front of her! Inuyasha was making love to that damn walking corpse. Kagome turned and fled to the other side of the woods, leaving Inuyasha to yell after her, and Kikyo looking rather pleased.

^_^

Kagome ran and ran until she could run no more. She collapsed on to the ground next to a tall oak tree. Her vision was blurred and clouded by her tears of pain and sorrow. She cried and cried her heart out. The pain hurt so much she wanted to die. Kagome clung to herself as she let the tears come. *No this can't be happening*! Screamed Kagome's mind. She cried on the hard ground for what seemed like hours, when she suddenly heard a noise from a nearby bush. Kagome quickly sat up and rubbed her red eyes.

"Who's there"? Kagome demanded peering hard at the bushes.

A tall shadowy figure stepped forth. When Kagome realized whom it was she screamed. No! Anything but this! Kagome thought scared. Strong golden eyes stared down at Kagome as the shadowy figure stepped into the light of the moon that streaked through the trees.

"Sesshomaru." Kagome whispered.
