Forever Alone

Chapter Two

He sat with his back against the tree on a branch high above the ground. The very same tree he had been pinned to for 50 years. His eyes stared hopelessly at the crescent moon high in the sky. He would not give up hope. A cool breeze blew his air wildly as it passed him. His eyes closed as his mind sadly fumbled through his thoughts.

The new moon had come and gone twenty-four times since she had left and taking his heart with her. He missed her with every piece of his mind, body, and soul. He had tried. He had tried everyday, three times a day, but he could not go through the well. He was able to go through the well to get her while the jewel was still in pieces. Her journey still needed to be finished but now….now the jewel was complete and under her protection. Everything was as it should be and thus he was not needed to travel through the well anymore.

Inuyasha's memories of that night haunted him every second of his life. Her words echoed through his mind, never to be forgotten. He should have told her sooner about his decision and how he felt but pride and fear kept him away. And now it was too late.

He squeezed his eyes tighter together as he remembered Kikyou's reaction to his decision. She had found him lost in his own thoughts and pain staring into the well.

****flashback****

"My love, it is time"

Inuyasha clenched his fist as her frost bitten words reached his ears. His gaze etched over towards her.

"I am sorry Kikyou, but I cannot go with you." His eyes quickly fell to the ground.

"You have no choice in the matter."

"I DO!" his blazing eyes returning to her, "It is my life, my decision."

"Inuyasha you love me!" her icy voice replied.

"Kikyou, I loved you, but we were deceived and you died. My life started over when Kagome released me from the God tree you pinned me too. I didn't realize that for a long time but now I understand. It is not my time to die yet. I want to live; I want to be with Kagome…" he was unable to finish when she cut him off.

"You owe me your life Inuyasha."

"I do, but that is not something I can give freely away. My life is Kagome's now. I have avenged our deceit and your death: Naraku has been defeated. That is the only way I can repay you for what has happened to us."

She would not have this. Inuyasha was hers and she would take him to hell whether or not he was willing. She reached for her bow and in an instant had an arrow cock and ready, aiming it directly at his heart.

Inuyasha stared at her, his features unflinching.

"Die, Inuyasha!" she called out but before she could release the arrow her time ran out.

Her soul collectors retreated and the bright red lights of hell opened beneath her. Inuyasha watched her slow descend into the flames of hell but his heart would not allow him to observe for long. He would not deny that he still cared for the deceased miko but he had come to understand that her time in this world was over.

He could hear her screams echo through his forest as he made his way back to Kaede's hut to inform his companions of Kagome departure.

****end of flashback****

The last part of his memory hurt. Kagome had left, left him alone.

He reopened his eyes as the familiar feel of pain coursed through his body. His amber orbs returned to the glistening moon. He loved her. And so he waited. He would never give up faith that one day she would return to him. He had faith that one day he would be united with his Kagome.

`Two years…" he sadly thought, `And I will wait for you a lifetime if that is what it takes.'

Inuyasha was so lost in his thoughts and memories; he failed to sense the young kitsune watching him from the ground.

`Inuyasha has not been any farther than Kaede's hut from the well in two years. He is the only one still clinging to hope that Kagome will come back to us. I miss her so much but she will not return, not if she thinks Inuyasha is dead. But he's not and for her I will watch over him as does Sango and Miroku even though they have a life together. They nor I will forget our friends.'

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*

Kagome unlocked the door to her apartment and stepped inside. Her day had been horrible and her head ached. As she made her way towards the medicine cabinet she dropped her keys and her books on the counter.

When she had take the proper pills to relief the pounding of her brain against her skull she fell on to her bed. She tried to force the day's events out of her mind knowing fully well what else would accompany them, memories.

She failed and her mind was brought back to the very reason she was not happy. At her college the general education classes required her to take Ancient Japanese legends and history. She fought back tears. Today was the first day of class. She had thought she would have time to prepare herself before the lectures would remind her of the life she once lived.

No. The very first lecture was about the legend of the Shikon no Tama, the very jewel that had hung around her neck for almost two years.

"If the professor only knew." She said to herself desperately trying to hold back the memories that were trying to escape from the locked doors in her mind. She could feel the cool touch of the jewel in her fingers as she gently held the pink ball tied around her neck.

Her eyes closed when she realized there was no holding back the memories she had suppressed for so long.

She was eighteen when she returned to her time for the last and final time. She had been a complete wreck for two months after that. Not only was she morning the lost of Inuyasha, and her broken heart, she was morning the lost of her closest friends. But as much as she missed them, she could never go back.

Her depression had seriously worried her mother. She knew her mother was on the verge of placing her in counseling.

`Gods if my mother had puts me in counseling I would be lying in a padded room instead of my bed right now.' She thought grimly.

However, instead of professional help, her mother had written a few letters and gotten Kagome in a University not far from the shrine. She had stared in the spring term since she had returned in summer and missed the dead line for fall term because she was attempting to put life back in order.

Kagome had gotten an apartment and began taking college classes. She avoided the shrine, the tree, and the well at all cost. Her family would always come visit her instead of her visiting them.

The tears were running freely now, down her cheek. She rolled on her side and brought her knees to her chest, hugging them tight to her body. Her lecture today had brought so many unwanted memories. The only way she had survived her life in her own time was to push away all the memories of the past and lock them deep inside her mind and heart. It was the only way to survive life knowing that she would never see the only man she had ever loved.

She had eventually convinced her heart to accept the false fact that he was alive in feudal Japan and enjoying his life. She had convinced herself that he didn't leave her to go to hell with Kikyou. Her heart and soul finally accepted her little fantasy world and that was when she was able to conquer her pain and sadness.

She pushed everything of that life away into the deepest darkest parts of herself. The only thing that remained was the Shikon no Tama around her neck, her miko powers, and her outstanding archery skills.

Kagome forced a smile on her face as she thought about how she had won the world archery tournament last year. But the smile quickly faded as the pain of missing the things she had come to love so much came back to her.

She rolled on her back when her phone rang.

"Hello?" she answered the phone.

"Kagome dear,"

"Oh, hey mom." She tried to hide her shaky voice.

"Hello sweetie. Ummm I really hate to ask you this but I really need you to do this for me."

"What is it mom? Is everything on the plane ok?"

Her grandfather, little brother, and her mother were going to America for a vacation before Souta started school again. Kagome was taking summer classes at the college and was not able to go with her family.

"Everything is ok. The plane is already in the air. But I ummmm….I forgot to do something."

Kagome's breath quickened, something inside her told her she was not going to like was her mother was going to ask her.

"I left Buyo outside, with no food. Since we are going to be away for two weeks, I am afraid the wild animals might hurt him if starvation doesn't first."

"No mom, I can't"

"Kagome please, Buyo has been a part of our family for a long time now and I hate to see him die because of my carelessness."

"Mom, please don't make me."

"Kagome, you need to learn to face things, you're a strong girl, and I know you are. All you have to do is call him over to the house, unlock the door and let him in. Then you can high tail it out there."

"Mom, mom…." Her voice was like a lost child now.

"Please, Kagome."

Kagome could feel the panic rising in her but she did not want to see Buyo die either.

"Ok, I go do it in the morning." She answered with much reluctance.

"Thank you so much, honey, I call you when we get to the hotel ok?"

"Ok mom, love you."

"I love you too, bye dear."

"Bye."

Kagome returned the phone back on the receiver, turned back on her side, and began to sob. Once she could cry no more tears, her emotionally exhausted body soon feel into unconsciousness.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*

Kagome woke the next morning with dread flowing freely through her veins. She wanted to get this done and over with, so she quickly showered, dressed, and ate. Before the time could read nine in the morning, she was standing at the bottom of the steps. Her entire body began to slightly shake from the intensity of her nerves.

As she began to climb the steps, her breath quickened and soon became labored. By the time she reached the top step, her body almost collapsed from the lack of oxygen. Fighting the lightness in her head she managed to make it to the front door.

"You can do this, Kagome. Your stronger than this." She reassured herself.

She unlocked the front door so that when she did find the cat all she had to do was open the door, drop him inside, lock the door back, then get the hell out of there. Her eyes began roaming the grounds purposely avoiding the ancient tree and the well house. She called out to Buyo.

"Here kitty, kitty, kitty."

No answer.

"Here kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty" she repeated only louder this time.

She heard a soft "Meow" and her head snapped in the direction of the sound. Her eyes grew into to saucers as soon as her eye laid on the well house. She watched Buyo walked passed the door inside the small building.

"Here kitty, kitty, kitty" she tried to coax him out. She did not want to go in there.

After a few more failed attempts, she resolved that there was no way she would be able to avoid not going into the well house.

"You can do this." She reminded herself when she slowly began to walk towards the building.

She reached the entrance but did not go inside. Instead she tried to get Buyo to come to her again. When he jumped across the well to the opposite side, Kagome wondered why the fates hated her so much. She then climbed down the ladder she had used so many times before, and stood next the edge of the well. Again she tried to coax the monster cat but Buyo only looked at her and laid down on the opposite edge of the well.

Kagome clenched her fist and put one knee on the edge of the well while she leaned towards Buyo. Right when she was about to grab him by the scruff of his neck, he moved. Her hand desperately tried to grab the side of the well to keep her balance but her fingers slipped and she dove head first towards the bottom of the well.

The last thing she heard was the quickly fading "Meow" coming from Buyo.
