Summary: The Battle with Naraku is a sucess! What happenes when Kagome is shot back to her own time? Please don't flame, constructive critisizm welcome.

A/N: I'm glad you liked the story as a one shot. I did plan to leave it that way, but your requests encouraged me to continue this story. I had wanted to add this chapter when I origionally wrote the story, but found the ending I chose to be more sufficiant for the mood I was trying to throw in it. I was planning on creating another story all together, based on the same idea, however, I figured adding to this, and creating a real storyline would be fun.

So, without further ado.. I give you Chapter 2!


I Must Find Her!

"K-Kagome?" He whispered, but she was gone.

Inuyasha gave a worried glance over to the others, who were staring at him, mouths gaped. The Miko from the future had simply vanished from their sight. Inuyasha's arms were still cradling the invisible girl, before he losened his arms, and allowed them to fall from his side.

She was really gone.

"Aah! What did you do with her, you stupid.. STUPID!" Shippo accused, angrily, as he pointed at the Hanyou. Though the kit was very angry, he couldn't help but lose himself in tears. Defeating Naraku was supposed to be a joyous occasion, not something that would have each and every one of them feeling their hearts in their stomach.

Sango hadn't noticed the commotion, she was too busy cradling Kirara, who gave her a weakened 'mew' before losing conciousness. Jinenji had helped the poisond cat before, and without giving anyone another glance, Sango took off towards the direction of the Half-Demon's hut.

"I-I don't understand," Inuyasha whispered, clutching his fists tighter, ignoring the kit. "What happened?"

"What do you mean, 'what happened'?" Shippo roared, "You lost her! You lost Kagome! Ugh! HOW COULD YOU BE SO DUMB?!"

"Shippo!" Miroku threatened, which forced the kit to submiss his actions. Folding his arms, Shippo turned from the two men. "Inuyasha?" Miroku continued, stepping closer to the Hanyou, "I'm sorry."

The Hanyou looked over at the monk, who had just apologized to him. His eyes slanted, there was something he knew, but wasn't telling. Inuyasha's ear's flattened against the top of his head, tears threatening to reveal themselves. Well, he'd be dammed if he let the leachorus monk see him cry. A frown deeped across Inuyasha's lips, as he stared coldly at Miroku. "Where is she?" Inuyasha demanded.

Miroku clutched to his staff, "She went home."

The Bone Eaters Well! Inuyasha suddenly realized, as he bolted from view.

Kikyou reached out, as she gently rubbed her fingers along the neck of one of her soul collectors. The jewel was complete, grinning to herself, she bowed her head, as she continued to walk through the darkened forest. The collectors hovered above her, dropping souls into her body every now and then.

She sensed Kagome's disappearance immediately. She bowed her head once more, sustaining the laughter which threatened to escape her. The girl was no longer a threat to her, and the idea was quite pleasing.

Soon you will join me in Hell, Inuyasha. Kikyou thought, wickedly, as she continued to make her way towards the God Tree, where she had sealed the hanyou that fateful day she died.

~*~*~

"Inuyasha!" Miroku hollared, however the demon was gone before he could say anything more. He knew where the hanyou was heading, it was too obvious. Inuyasha and his one track mind had always been easy for the monk to read. His eyes wandered towards the kit, who was now sobbing against a rock at the realization that Kagome wouldn't come back.

"Come on Shippo! We have to stop him." Miroku instructed, as he grabbed the kit by it's tail, and darted in the same direction as the Hanyou.

~*~*~

The Bone Eaters Well. It served as a portal for the Hanyou of the Feudal Era, and the Miko of the present, to travel to each others worlds. Very mysterious place, the Bone Eaters Well. Inuyasha haulted, as he stared down at the wooden barrier of the well. He was breathing heavily, and fear suddenly hit him.

He didn't have the Jewel. He didn't have a greater purpose for traveling to the future. Would the well sense this? Would it deny him this last chance to see Kagome? He could feel a growl rumble in his chest, ashamed of his fear.

Carefully, he approached the well, and haulted, hands resting on top of it. He looked around, no one was there. He sniffed the air, Kagome's scent from the last time she traveled through the well, was weak, almost deminished. His fingers tightened around the wood, his claws digging dangerously into its sides.

"Dammit!" He swore, as he pushed himself away, and crossed his arms. His heart was pounding painfully in his chest. He sat on the ground, leaning against the wood, his ears twitching a little. He closed his eyes, as he tried to steady his breathing. His foot was tapping, anxiously, ahead of him. He was allowing his fear to rule over him.

He pushed himself off the ground, "Here goes nothing!" He growled, as he leapt into the air, and flew deeper into the well. No purple light greeted his entrance. No tingling feeling pass through his body, he merely landed roughly on the floor, scattering a few demon remains. It only took moments for Inuyasha to realize he was still in his own time. His ears perked, as he turned in a half circle, a little confused.

The Well had denied his wish.

Clenching his fist, he began to pound on the sides of the well, until he heard the wood cracking. His ears shot up, before they flattened themselves against his head once more. She was really gone.

"Dammit Kagome! Why didn't you tell me?!" He screamed, fists clenches so hard, he was drawing blood from his palms. This time, he allowed the tears to fall, but he quickly brushed them away. The air seemed to have chilled around him, and from above, he could hear the breeze switch directions.

He looked up in time enough to see a white flash fly past the Well. His ears perked, as a familiar scent rushed down the well.

"Kikyou?"
