InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Something New ❯ Ch.1 ( Chapter 1 )

“Hey Kagome, wait for us!” Sango cried out. Kagome slowly turned into the setting sun to face her group of friends as they ran toward her.

“What hell were you thinking, trying to sneak off like that?!” Inuyasha bellowed. Kagome rolled her eyes. She wouldn't miss some things of the Feudal Era, like Inuyasha's constant yelling. But there were other things she would miss; the action, the adventure, being with people she knew she could count on. But she belonged in her own world, not here. She was tired of being around a man she couldn't have, it was tearing her apart. She knew she and Inuyasha could never be. He still loved Kikyou, who was now alive after her wish on the Shikon jewel. She had tried to sneak off to make the goodbye as painless as possible, but Shippou had seen her and alerted the others. Now here she was, facing the people she loved the most, but would never see again. She'd miss them dearly, but none so much as Inuyasha. He was her first love, and she'd never forget him, but it was time to move on.

“Umm… Hello? Earth to Kagome!” Shippou cried as he leapt into her arms. She caught the little fox and cuddled him close.

“Are you sure you can't just stay here with us?” Shippou whined. Kagome smiled down and the little kitsune.

“Yes Shippou, I'm sure. I don't belong here, I need to be with my family, back in my own time,” She replied. Inuyasha grumbled as she hugged the fox again and then set him on the ground. “I'm going to miss you all so much.”

“We're going to miss you too,” Sango replied and Miroku nodded his head.

“I don't see why you have to go, you could always just stay here with us, and you don't even like it in your time. You complain about it constantly,” Inuyasha remarked. Kagome ignored him and started to walk towards the well once again. Shippou bounded after her and the rest of the group followed. Shortly they reached the old well, and Kagome turned to her friends once more.

“Well, I guess this is goodbye,” She said with tears in her eyes. Sango rushed and hugged her surrogate sister for the last time.

“I wish you happiness, sister,” she mumbled into Kagome's shoulder. Kagome hugged Sango fiercely before letting go to catch Shippou. She held the kit for a moment, and then kissed him on the forehead. He scampered into Sango's arms while Kagome hugged Miroku and mumbled her goodbye.

“We will miss you, dear Kagome,” He stated, and Kagome fought to keep the tears back. She had one more person to bid adieu. She turned to Inuyasha, and his beautiful golden eyes bored straight into her. Looking into his eyes, she could feel her resolve breaking, and she quickly tried to turn away from him, but he caught her in an embrace. She hugged back as her heart started to break all over again, and her tears spilled over. Inuyasha leaned his head into her.

“I'll always be with you,” he whispered. Kagome stiffened, trying not to sob. She quickly tore from his grasp and ran to the well. She stopped at its edge and turned back to him.

“I'll never forget you,” She said, and leapt into the well.
