~Chapter 4~

~*!~Kagome's Time~!*~

Kagome appears on the other side of the well and climbs out into the small shrine that the well was in. She walked up the steps to the door, a sad and hurt expression on her face. How could he have kissed her? No! Stop asking yourself that Kagome. You've already heard him say that he wanted to be with Kikyo so stop thinking that he still loves you! She reprimands herself as she walks out of the mini shrine. Kagome walks to her house with her head bowed. She takes her shoes off, opens the door and goes inside.

Souta looks up from the video game he was playing. "Hi Kagome!" He says cheerfully and then frowns when he saw her sour expression. He goes back to his video game, deciding now probably wasn't the best time to ask her what happened.

Kagome walks up to her room and sets her bag down next to her bed. She flops down on the bed and cries silently into the pillow. Awhile later she was fast asleep, having exhausted herself by crying.

*~*~*~*~*

Mrs. Higurashi, having heard Souta say her daughter's name, went upstairs to check on Kagome. She found her sleeping soundly on top of the covers. Mrs. Higurashi quietly walked into the room and covered Kagome with the blanket. When she left she shut the door behind her.

*~*~*~*~*

Inuyasha got to his feet and rushed to the well as soon as he was able to. He jumped into the well as soon as he got to it, appearing on the other side seconds later. Inuyasha quickly climbed out of the well and jumped from the edge of the well to the door and then flung open the door, walking out onto the shrine grounds. "Kagome?" He jumps up onto her bedroom windowsill and forces the window open. He then drops quietly from the windowsill to the nice, soft, plushie, light pink carpet. "Kagome?" He whispers and then realizes that she was fast asleep.

Inuyasha sighs. I rush to get here only to find out she's gone to bed… He shuts the window and leaves her bedroom through the door. Inuyasha quietly shut the door behind himself.

Souta chose that moment to come upstairs. "HEY MOM! GUESS WHO'S HERE?!" He shouts down the stairs before Inuyasha could silence him.

Inuyasha clamps his hands over the boy's mouth a second too late. "Oi kid! Be quiet! Your gonna wake her up!" He growls quietly at Souta. After he was sure Souta hadn't woken Kagome up Inuyasha let go of the boy and went downstairs.

"Hello Inuyasha, it's so nice to see you" Mrs. Higurashi says as she gives Inuyasha's ear a tweak.

Inuyasha pries his poor ear out of her grasp. "It's nice to see you too Mrs. Higurashi" He grumbles as he rubs his abused ear to ease the pain.

Mrs. Higurashi went back into the kitchen to finish preparing dinner. "How long are you staying this time Inuyasha?" She asks him, needing to get an idea on how much she needed to cook for dinner.

"Uh…" Inuyasha hadn't really thought about that. He had been expecting Kagome to be awake when he got here, not asleep.

"Why don't you stay for dinner and then you can talk to Kagome?" Mrs. Higurashi suggests, sensing his hesitation.

Inuyasha shrugs and allows himself to be dragged back upstairs by Souta.

*~*~*~*~*

A young woman walks out of a well built, two-story house and into an almost completely empty meadow. The only thing in the meadow was a dried up old well.

A little girl and a little boy, both about the same age, run out the door after the young woman.

"Mommy! Wait for me!" The girl exclaims as she clutches onto the woman's hand. Her long silky black hair flowing in the wind behind her and her white tipped black cat ears twitching at the slightest sound, much like her father's ears did.

"I'm coming too!" The boy cries out, not wanting to be left behind. The wind rustled his short, silvery white hair and his black tipped white ears flat against his head as he rushed to his mother's side.

"Well come on then Eizo" The young woman stops to wait up for the boy. The boy grabs onto his mother's other hand as the three of them headed for the nearby village.

~!~ End Dream Sequence ~!~

Kagome awoke with a start. She looks around her room, momentarily forgetting where she was. She climbs out from under the covers of her nice warm bed and went to the door of her room and opened it. She could smell the wonderful aroma of steamed vegetables, egg rolls, rare fish, rice and… noodles? Why would her mom be cooking noodles? Then she heard the male voices coming from Souta's room and sighs. So Inuyasha had followed her home? Well at least he cares enough to tell that he's going to go with Kikyo. Kagome sighs as she quietly goes downstairs to help he mother with dinner.

*~*~*~*~*

Inuyasha was too busy playing Playstation 2 with Souta to hear Kagome walk passed the closed door of Souta's bedroom. The earliest he had learned that she was awake was when Kagome had yelled up the stairs that he and Souta should go wash up for dinner. Inuyasha threw down the controller and flew down the stairs to Kagome but before he could get a word out she pointed him towards the bathroom and ordered him to wash his hands. Grumbling, he went into the bathroom and quickly washed his hands.

Inuyasha came out of the bathroom to find everyone sitting around a table on cushions. A place next to Kagome had been left open for him. The noodles that Mrs. Higurashi guessed Inuyasha would prefer to the other food she had cooked was instantly placed in front of him. Inuyasha looks around the table at everyone else and blushed a little, trying his best to hide it.

They all ate in silence. Everyone waiting for someone else to break the silence but not willing to do so themselves.

As soon as everyone had finished their meal Mrs. Higurashi had Souta take all the dishes into the kitchen. Souta did so reluctently, muttering something about Kagome not having to do anything, which was probably true.

Kagome went upstairs, Inuyasha trailing behind her like a good little hanyou. She was tempted to slam the door in Inuyasha's face but she had to admit that it would be very rude since Inuyasha had come all this way to talk to her. So instead she allowed him entrance into her room and shut the door behind him.

"Kagome…" Inuyasha mutters, unwilling to meet her gaze.

"If your going with Kikyo just say it and get it over with" Kagome says a lot meaner and ruder than she had meant to.
