Kagome sat under a Cherry Blossom Tree that sat on a hill. She over looked the land of old Japan, thinking about what would happen when she would give Inuyasha the news. She thought about leaving him a note, or tell Shippo or Sango to tell him. But she wanted to tell Inuyasha himself deep in her heart. She grabbed her bag and pulled out a picture of Inuyasha staring at Shippo, who was eating his chips. She sighed, going back to that beautiful day. She let the picture fall to the ground and she felt a tear fall down her cheek. She can't do what she had to do. She couldn't bring herself to face her friends. She knew them well. They were like her second family. Kagome knew that it would be the hardest to tell Inuyasha what she must tell.
She looked up at the blue sky, wishing that she didn't have to do this. So, she stood and gathered her things, and headed to where her friends were. She walked up to Inuyasha, who was scratching his head. "Can I talk to you?"
"Sure." Inuyasha said.
They walked off to where Kagome had been. "Inuyasha, I am leaving." Kagome fighted back her tears.
"Then I will see you tomorrow." Inuyasha said and started to walk away.
"I won't be coming back." Kagome said unevenly.
Inuyasha stopped and turned to his friend. "What? Why?"
Kagome looked down at the ground. "I just can't keep on coming back to this era. I have to live in my time."
Inuyasha rushed over to her and grabbed her arms. "Why do you want to leave? You have to stay! We have to find the shards!"
Kagome refused to look at him. She closed her eyes and felt the sting of tears. "I think it would be the best of me." She whispered.
Inuyasha was quiet. Kagome looked up at him and found him looking down at her with sadness in his eyes. They just held eachother's eyes, never wanting to let go. The wind blew and wipped up their hair. This is the end, Kagome thought. She reached up and traced Inuyasha's cheek.
"Someday, I will come back. I promise."
