Unbreak My Heart

2.2 - Please don't go

--

**Flashback**

Her head stung with pain while her vision blinded her causing her to drop to her knees, desperately seeking comfort with the ground below her. Her hearing soon picked up someone calling, she felt the need to shout back, but found it hard to move her mouth to form the right words. All she could do was lay paralysed and in pain curled into a tight ball. As if deafening her to any other sounds all she could hear was the lullaby of soft but shallow beatings of her heart. After a while its hypnotising thumps lured her into darker depths beckoning her to slip into unconsciousness.

Once again she heard her name being called the voice had gotten louder and soon over powered the deep thudding of her heart - without her eyesight and voice she could not bring herself to move or make herself known. Panic soon set in when she recognised the voice that called for her.

Inuyasha

She fought to open her eyes, slowly but surely, she gained her vision back in parts but only enough to see small amounts of colour. With another flash of light and more searing pain she was pulled back from the bright light that she now desperately needed to get to. Her whole body remained unresponsive as she called out for the one person who could help relieve the ache she felt in her heart. Still the darkness lured her deeper some what into a sense of stillness - that soon faded when she felt another surge of energy plunge into her encircling her whole aura with its own… it seemed to melt within her very being effortlessly, binding with her own powers and instantly calming the darkness that lurked within her heart. It soon fully surrounded her and started to fight off any impurities that dared to claim her pureness.

Slowly, finding herself more at ease and able to move, Kagome opened her eyes. It was still dark and all she could see was a shadow of colourless mist surrounding her. Upon further inspection of her surroundings she knew this place… it was her safe haven within her dreams, the place where her soul connected perfectly within that of another… one that completed the jigsaw piece inside of her heart, one that had saved her moments ago. The mist twisted and intertwined itself around her arms and legs forming around her becoming solid in front of her very eyes. She could once again feel its strong embrace as a set of arms wrapped around her small frame, bringing her whole body closer into its own. Kagome closed her eyes contently leaning into her saviour allowing herself to slip deeper into its soothing caresses.

Inuyasha

**End flashback**

Her mind swam with thoughts and feelings, all of them focused on the well and her friends. How was she going to explain to them that she might never see them again? They had become a part of her life, her own family. Sango and Miroku were more like an older brother and sister to her then just good friends, and she had grown up a lot since being with them to help her and guide her. She also had responsibilities here in the past, she had adopted the small-orphaned kitsune cub, Shippo and Kaede was more like a second mother to her. All thoughts soon turned in the direction of the grouchy hanyou she had given her heart to, the same hanyou who she had argued with that very morning.

"Kagome-chan, are you feeling alright?" A concerned Sango asked Kagome, who sat quietly in front of her.

Kagome snapped back into reality when she lifted her head to look up at the worried glance of Sango. "I feel fine, Sango. I'm just a little tired is all." She smiled reassuringly.

Miroku, who was sitting between the pair of girls, leaned in slightly over Kagome and lifted his hand to her head. "Kagome-sama, you do look a little pale. Are you sure there is nothing bothering you?"

Kagome sighed inwardly and lowered her head to the ground diverting her gaze from her companions. "Guys, I have something to tell you…its really hard for me to say, but…" Her voice lowered in volume as she fought to get the right words out of her mouth.

Sango looked up at Miroku then back at Kagome, worry evident in her eyes. "Kagome-chan, what is it?"

Kagome soon started to feel the familiar sting foaming in the corner of her eyes. She really did not want them to see her so upset, but tears soon surfaced and rolled down each of her cheeks falling onto her hands that lay in her lap.

"I-I won't be able to come here anymore after this week. The shrine and reserve are being knocked down and the well will be sealed for good…"

Kagome swallowed back the lump in her throat and lifted her tear-stained eyes setting them upon her friends. She found it hard to hold back any longer her heart was hurting once more and she soon gave into and sobbed into her hands. Telling them had been harder than she thought.

"Kagome?" came a small innocent voice from below her.

Removing her hands she looked down at the small fox cub. "Oh, Shippo-chan," she cried, taking him into her arms.

The young kitsune huddled into his adopted mother gazing up at her with wide and confused but upset eyes. She was leaving him? Why? What did this mean?

Sango found herself staring at the ground in utter confusion as tears rolled down her own cheeks. One hand covered her heart while the other was tightly balled into her fist. She felt numb and did not even take note when Miroku gathered her shoulders into his chest pulling her in closer, while bringing his own hand up to wipe away the tears that ran freely from her eyes.

Kaede looked on from the dark corner watching the scene quietly her own attention remaining on the young miko she called daughter. This had been foreseen, the well would not be an open path now that Kagome had paid her debt and saved the future along with the past-her destiny lay else where, but was this truly meant to be or would this be yet another test for the young girl to pass in order to stay in both times?

Inuyasha sat on his usual branch arms crossed over his chest with his nose in the air, staring up into the sky letting his thoughts run through his short-tempered mind. His inner turmoil had been arguing with him for most of the morning berating him about the way he had spoken to Kagome when she was obviously upset about something. Inuyasha did not think though, not that he ever did before he spoke, so it was more of a `don't let her hurt you' reflex-pride got in the way of his rational thinking (if that's at all possible where Inuyasha is concerned).

He had also been thinking back to when he first found her in the forest surrounded by that dark miko energy, it was something he had never seen nor felt coming from Kagome before. Even more baffling was when he did get to her through the aura he himself must have blacked out because he could not remember anything after that, only waking with her in his arms.

Sighing he leaned back slightly raising his arms behind his head. What was she going on about anyway, something about the shrine and well…? His thoughts were interrupted when he felt a small sting at his neck and with normal reflex he slapped at the annoyance that was causing that pain. Inuyasha looked down and soon narrowed his eyes, "What is it you want now beside a quick meal?"

A very squished looking Myouga soon landed in Inuyasha's open palm "Lord Inuyasha, I was only concerned about your present state. I felt something strong and powerful coming from the forest last night and made my way here to see if my lord was alright." He squeaked shaking his small head and popping back into his regular appearance.

"Keh" came Inuyasha's only reply.

"It was Lady Kagome wasn't it lord Inuyasha?" the flea demon asked.

Inuyasha lifted his nose in the air and rolled back his eyes, "Yes, why'd you ask that?"

"It is as I feared." Myouga shook his head solemnly hopping onto Inuyasha's shoulder.

Inuyasha picked up on the flea's words and lowered his head to look the small youkai in the eye. "What is?" he snapped.

Myouga leaped from Inuyasha's shoulder onto the branch setting himself on a small leaf, he looked up at him and sighed. "My lord this is a bad omen. Lady Kagome has allowed her miko powers to darken and unless she's aware of it, they will grow even more powerful tainting her already pure Miko aura. Now that her power has surfaced she is vulnerable to attack from those who would seek the Shikon no Tama and that of the chosen."

"Feh, you're over reacting about this old man, Kagome is the same. I felt no difference when…we spoke this morning."

The small flea hopped up from the leaf, "Lord Inuyasha, I have foreseen danger. Take my heed that dark miko energy was only the beginning!"

Inuyasha looked down at the flea youkai his lips curled into a small lopsided grin as he brought his hand up taking aim to flick the creature with his fingers, "If you say so, now bug off I'm trying to think." And with that he let loose his clawed finger and knocked the guardian youkai off his shoulder.

Kagome sighed and lowered the now slumbering cub to the ground. He had cried himself to sleep after she told her friends about the shrine being sold and well being sealed. Miroku and Sango sat silently in front of her and Kaede had not moved from the shadows of the hut the whole time.

"I'm going home to get some things so I can spend as much time with you guys before the end of the week." She whispered lifting her gaze upon her two companions seated quietly beside her.

Sango was the first to snap out of the silence, "I'll walk with you to the well, Kagome-chan." She smiled gently.

Kagome smiled back and nodded, looking over her shoulder to seek out Kaede's approval. The older miko merely motioned her head toward the door and went back to studying a scroll in her hands.

Miroku saw the ladies out of the hut and turned his attention back to what Kaede had been staring at for the last hour. "Lady Kaede, I couldn't help but notice how quiet you've been this whole time. Is there something a drift about this whole situation?"

Kaede looked up at the monk and nodded her head "Hai, that there is…" she whispered under her breath diverting her eyes once more onto the scroll in her hands.

Leaning back against the tree stump Inuyasha let loose another `keh' and settled once again into more thoughts. That was until his senses picked up the very familiar scents of Kagome and Sango entering the edge of the forest.

Sango and Kagome walked beside one another in silence heading for the forest of Inuyasha. Upon entering the clearing she looked over to the young girl and smiled, "Kagome-chan?"

"Hai, Sango?" she replied.

"You shall be greatly missed, I think of you as my little sister you know," she lowered her gaze slightly, "my only…living family."

"Oh, Sango" Kagome smiled stopping to give the older girl a hug. "I'm really going to miss you too."

Inuyasha perked up from his branch and hovered over the two females raising his eyebrows in interest. What's with those two? He thought following them from a far.

Kagome stopped in front of the Bone Eaters Well and lowered her bag to the ground. "I won't be long, Sango. I kind of left the house as soon as mom told me the news last night, she must be worried by now."

"I understand, Kagome-chan. Did you say last night?" Sango asked with curiosity.

"Hai, I came through the well late last night. I-I was with Inuyasha till morning…" she whispered (comma) lowering her head slightly away from her.

"Kagome-chan, does he know?"

"Yes and no, I said something about it this morning after-after we…kind of argued."

Sango raised her own eyebrows perking her face in Kagome's direction. "So, that's why you argued?"

Kagome shook her head and sat on the edge of the well. "No..this was different from our usual disagreements…"

"How so?" Sango asked taking a seat next to Kagome.

Sighing she continued quietly, "Well…we umm woke up together. I-I must have fallen asleep on him or close to him and…and we kind of kissed…"

Sango's smile grew with amusement. "You kissed Inuyasha?"

Kagome nodded diverting her eyes from Sango. "We kissed, then we argued, I told him about the well, then I left him in the forest end of story."

"Hold on, you argued about what exactly? The kiss?"

"I have got no idea why he jumped straight into an argument with me, but he said I should just leave and never come back and that's when I told him about the well being sealed."

"Oh…" Sango replied looking on with a more serious face.

Kagome sighed once more and stood to her feet. "I better head off, I won't be to long maybe an hour or two. I'll meet you back at the village…" she said picking her bag up once more, "Sango, please don't say anything to the others about this."

Sango smiled and nodded. "You have to talk to Inuyasha about all of this though, he may know but I don't know if he understands fully what this means."

Kagome agreed and waved goodbye before jumping down the dark well back to her own time. Sango sighed and smiled after her, chuckling happily that Kagome found comfort talking to her about Inuyasha and that unexpected kiss.

"Tell me what?" Came an annoyed voice from behind her.

Sango turned around and faced the grouchy hanyou. "Hello to you too, Inuyasha." She greeted him with a smile.

"Tell me what, Sango?" he snapped once more.

"That's not for me to say, Inuyasha. If you wish to know talk to Kagome-chan about It." She rolled her eyes.

Inuyasha narrowed his eyes and growled under his breath, "Stupid fucking bitch," before pushing past Sango and hopping up on the edge of the well.

Smiling she happily made her way back to the village praying that Inuyasha would not make yet another mistake.

Kagome sucked in her breath and opened the front door of the shrine. "I'm home!" She called out. Her mother was soon bounding down the stairs. Kagome smiled as her mom gathered her into her arms.

"Oh, Kagome I've been so worried."

"I'm sorry, Mama." Kagome whispered as she buried her face deeper in to her mothers shoulder.

"Kagome, you're home!" she heard her grandfather and brother cry out in unison.

Pulling away from her mom she smiled slightly, "I'm fine, I just needed some time alone."

"We understand, Kagome. This has upset all of us too." The voice of her grandfather came from behind the two of them.

"Is everyone hungry?" Her mother asked happily.

Nodding she followed her family into the kitchen.

Inuyasha jumped out of the well and grunted angrily. "Stupid wench, why am I even bothering?"

As he exited the well house he lifted his nose checking for Kagome's scent. She was home though not in her room, but somewhere inside the house. Sighing he made his way across the courtyard and leaped up onto the windowsill of Kagome's room, opening the window and climbing in through it to make his way to the door in search for Kagome.

Kagome sighed and listened to her grandfather and mother discussing living arrangements, not that her grandfather was easily convinced about it. Dead set on staying put was his argument, while her mother sighed and shook her head in defeat every time he pulled `I'm getting older and moving would be bad for me health' sulk.

"Kagome, will we ever see Inuyasha-Oniisan again?" Souta asked her quietly.

"I don't know, Souta." She sighed looking down at him.

Souta sighed and returned his attention back to his grandfather and mothers conversation.

Inuyasha pulled open the door and stuck his head out looking in each direction trying to get a good sense where she could be. His nose soon picked up on her, she was somewhere down stairs. Sighing once again, he stepped out of the room and leaped down the stairs effortlessly. He landed in a crouch and stuck his head up in the direction of her scent, following its pleasant path to the kitchen door.

"Mama, grandfather please don't fight about this. Souta and I don't want to move either, but we haven't even got any say-so in any of your decisions."

Kagome's mother turned her head toward her eldest child, "Kagome, of course you and Souta have a say-so in this. You are very much involved with our new living arrangements, you and Souta have a right to say what you wish." She reassured them both.

Inuyasha stopped himself from opening the door when he heard voices one being Kagome and she did not sound too happy. Maybe this was not a good time to interrupt. Just as he was about to turn around and leave he raised his eyebrows when he heard Kagome's speech.

"Ok then," Kagome replied getting up from her seat and staring down at her family. "I don't want to move, I don't want the shrine to be bulldozered down. This is our home and has been in our family for generations. Our ancestors lived and grew old here and I wanted to bring my own family up in this very house."

"Kagome, we know how you feel about this move but there is nothing I or your grandfather can do about it."

"Mom, you're not listening to me! I don't want to see this place get torn down not only do I love this house and think of it as our family home, but my friends on the other side of that well are also my life." Kagome sighed and lowered her head allowing warm tears to seep from the corners of her eyes.

"Oh, Kagome dear." Her mother rose from her seat and offered her a tissue.

"What I am I going to do, Mama? I-I can't make this choice." Kagome sobbed solemnly.

"Kagome? What are talking about?" she asked in concern.

"I-I'm torn between two worlds, and it's killing me. Don't you see? Can't you tell?" Kagome said wiping away her tears with her sleeve. "Mama, I can't leave this all behind…I can't leave my home…I can't leave Inuyasha…" She whispered, swallowing back the lump in her throat.

Her mother watched Kagome thoughtfully as she slowly sank back into her chair and continued to sob in to her hands. She knew Kagome had to make a choice but she did not count on there being a confession this painful, but it all made sense. Everything she said was beginning to piece together, Kagome would not leave her home, even if that meant staying in the past because her home was there too.

Inuyasha's eyes widened after hearing Kagome say those things. She had to leave this place because it was being torn down, and that meant the well would also be…his insides panicked and he knew how she felt just at that moment because his heart suddenly began to tear at his chest, twisting in pain. Kagome had to make a choice and it was not easy on her…not only that but she had tried to confide in him that morning and he threw it back in her face! How could he have been so stupid?

He lowered his head and flattened his ears against his head, Kagome would not leave because of him…that meant she would never see her family again, she would give up her life here to stay by his side but with a price…but what if he could stop this from happening or better still, make that choice easier on her.

What was more important to him, his happiness or hers?

He needed to think about all of this but deep down he knew what he had to do.

So now what can I say? I guess you all liked the first chapter so I hope the second keeps you interested. All these lovely reviewers threatening me to continue I feel so loved ^.^ Thank you all for your words of wisdom * plus this stays PG-13 for now but it will be R ^^; I have loads of extremely suggestive and steamy scenes on the way the fluff in this will be lime scented but edging on the lemony too. Sorry I didn't get this out sooner, I've been off my laptop all week waiting for my XP to be installed.

Alrighty, things are looking worse for wear huh? Inuyasha heard Kagome's dilemma but what will he do? We all know he's going to mess up again…come on this is Inuyasha we're talking about. So what will the puppy do next I wonder? Can anyone guess right? And will the shrine and well be ripped down?!
