InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Forever Alone ❯ Chapter 3 ( Chapter 3 )

Disclaimer: I DO NOT own Inuyasha or any of its characters because if I did, then Inuyasha would not be such a dumbass and realize that Kikyou is a dead bitch at the same time discovering that Kagome is his true love. Also, we see a lot more of Inuyasha's sexy brother too! MMmmmm Sesshoumaru is the MAN! Oh and Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru would become my personal boy toys…lol…only kidding…I can fantasize can't I?

Forever Alone

Chapter Three

She hit the bottom of the well with a thud. She kept her head down. She had felt the magic surrounding her as she fell. No. She didn't want to be here. She didn't belong any longer. Why did the fates let her go through the well? Did they truly want her to suffer?

Kagome's refused to look up. She knew the bright blue sky would be above her and not the roof of the shed. Her eyes were shut and her arms hugged her knees. No. She could feel the racing panic through her mind and body. A single rational thought was able to click in her brain. The jewel?! She quickly masked her scent and the jewel's power with her miko abilities, desperately hoping no youkai sensed its return.

She could feel the tears swelling up behind her eyes. She didn't want completion. She didn't want to acknowledge that Inuyasha was no longer living. Her heart would not be able to handle it. Her heart was perfectly happy with the lie it had accepted long ago. She wanted to go home.

`WHY THE HELL AM I STILL SITTING HERE?' she screamed to herself when she realized she wasn't going to go back without moving.

`Calm down, Kagome. All you have to do is climb out of the well, jump back in and you will be back in your own time. And everything will be okay.' She tried to reassure herself.

`Good, Then once you are back where you belong. Seal the well and move to America. Get as far away from Japan, past and present as possible.'

With that decided she began scaling the walls of the well. Completely, unaware of the youkai and the hanyou above her. She cautiously stuck part of her head out of the opening of the well. Her eyes scanned the area for any youkai or humans that might cause her problems while trying to get back to her time.

When her gaze fell upon the God tree. All time stopped. Her body stopped functioning. Her hands lost their grip and she fell backwards into the well again. Luckily a vine had caught her ankle, twisting it a bit but kept her from falling to the bottom.

She hung there for a second, her mind trying to register the sight she had just seen.

`NO!' her mind had to be playing an evil trick on her. She could have sworn she saw Inuyasha. He was sitting on one of the lower branches of the ancient tree. Her breath quickened to an unhealthy rate as she pulled herself back up to the lip of the well, ignoring her throbbing ankle.

This time she not only saw Inuyasha but the little fox youkai as well. Her heart fell into happiness and sadness. She had missed them so much. WAIT? If Inuyasha is sitting in the God tree, does that mean he's still alive? How? Why? Her mind raced through millions of questions. She was about to climb out of the well to see if they were real when the young child spoke.

"Inuyasha?" Shippo finally said after a long time.

Inuyasha did not speak nor move. Shippo knew he might as well be talking to the tree but he was still going to try.

"Lunch is ready. Will you come back to Kaede's and at least eat something?" he asked in his most depressed pleading voice he could do hoping it would make Inuyasha feel bad then come and eat.

Inuyasha ignored Shippo's pleas. He was not hungry today. The farther away from the well he was, the farther away he was from her. Inuyasha's ear twitched towards the well, informing him of the sounds coming from it. But he ignored his ear as well, knowing fully well his mind had played countless tricks on him the last two years and he wasn't about to fall for it again.

When Inuyasha did not answer. The young kitsune turned and ran to the edge of the clearing.

Kagome didn't understand. Why was Inuyasha alive? Didn't he go to with Kikyou? She must have hit her head. That was it. She hit her head when she fell into the well and now she was unconscious and in this evil, lets-get-her-hopes-up-then-rip-her-heart-out dream.

But the painful aching in her ankle reminded her it was not a dream. Her eyes followed the fox demon with unexplainable hope and curiosity. He still looked the same as when she had last seen him two years ago. He reached Sango and Miroku who had just walked out into the clearing. Kagome noticed Miroku was holding a smile girl who looked very much like Sango. She listened and watched as the scene played out before her.

Shippo jumped up onto the monk's shoulder and patted Sango and Miroku's 13-month-old daughter, Sakura, on the head.

"He won't come down, Miroku." Shippo said fight back tears.

Miroku looked down at his daughter. She had begun reaching out for the hanyou once she saw him. She loved to play with him especially his ears.

"Not today honey, Uncle Inu, isn't feeling well today." The sad look in his daughter's face broke his heart.

He handed her over to Sango while kissing his wife's forehead before walking with the kitsune over towards their dejected friend.

"Inuyasha!" Miroku called out.

"Miroku," Inuyasha finally spoke up wanting nothing more than to be left alone, "We have this discussion everyday. I will eat when I am hungry."

"Its not just that Inuyasha, you have either sat in that tree or against the well for two years now. You only leave to eat, which is rarely anymore, or when you come to play with Sakura."

"Don't forget when Sesshoumaru comes around picking a fight." Shippo reminded him.

"Yes, Shippo, but even then their battles are fought in this clearing, the one he seldom leaves."

Shippo hung his head. He missed the old Inuyasha. The one that used to beat him up, the one that he could get angry just by saying simple truths and embarrassing the hanyou. He missed the loudmouth egotistical jerk Inuyasha used to be. But it seemed like his spirit and heart left when Kagome did.

"Kagome will not come back to us. She has moved on with her life, she would have wanted to you to have done the same." Miroku continued talking to the hanyou.

"You don't get it monk do you? Kagome was the only reason I wanted to live. But she left before I could tell her how I felt."

Silence fell among the group. Miroku knew there was no changing the decision of his single-minded stubborn friend and released a heavy sigh in defeat. Inuyasha heard another sound coming from the direction of the well, but again he ignored what his instincts were trying to tell him.

"I know that one day, ONE DAY, Miroku that she will be back. And I will be here, waiting to give that wench a piece of my mind for just leaving like that! " Inuyasha stared down at his friend.

Miroku caught the look in his eyes. They were the eyes of the companion he once knew. Kagome really was his fire and his life.

Miroku and Inuyasha continued to stare at each other unaware of the miko hiding in the well, `Why that little son of a…'

The monk's thoughts were instantly put on hold when a single word echoed throughout the forest. His heart stopped as he stared at space on the branch where Inuyasha had just been sitting. Only when his ears were graced with a loud *THUD*, did Miroku's mind begin to register what had just happened. `Holy Shit!'
