A/N: Okay, so with the hiatus of The Gentleman.. I will use this story to kind of be a little bit of a booster for it.

I was watching the Lake House one night, and thought this would be a lovely story kind of with The Lake House theme.

Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha.

Summary: Kagome, saddened by Inuyasha's constant disappearance at night. Begins writing letters to herself to cope. The stranger thing about it is: She gets a response by the time she awakes in the morning. Whom is this stranger? Pairing revealed later!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kagome's eyes fluttered open as she heard the rustling of a nearby bush. Once again, Inuyasha has rushed off when he thought she was in a slumber. She sighed and sat up, digging through her backpack, pulling out a new notebook. She began to write..

Dear Myself,
This is weird, I know, writing letters to myself. But I figured it would help me out in the long run. This is like a scape goat for my emotions, to write it all down, without any fear. Anyway.. to my reason of writing this.

How is it, that every time she comes around. Which has been a lot lately. He falls again, and again, and again... They both harmed each other in the past, not willingly, but they still weren't meant for each other then, why try now? Fate separated them for a reason...

I'm not her, never want to be her. But there's sometimes in the back of my mind, I wish I could be her just for the soul fact she gets his heart. He cares for me when she's not around, and lately he's been slacking on that. What if she decides to want to take my place? I think he keeps me as his "Jewel Detector" because I'm no threat to him.

Any advice?

I sacrifice my education, my life back in Tokyo, and pretty much all that I stood for before he came around. I lie to my teachers, and friends, I worry my mother sick, I abandon my little brother at the age he needs me most, and I'm loosing valuable time I have left with my aging grandfather.

I have a test tomorrow for school. I've studied as much as possible, which has been surprisingly a lot since she's been coming around. I'm bound to a jealous hanyou who can't decide on which he wants to choose.

Help.

Kagome.

She sighed and closed the notebook, setting it next to her head, as she rested her head against the ground, she sighed and closed her eyes, slipping away into much needed sleep. Unaware of whom-else has been around.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A/N: Just a short beginning. I'm not too worried about the quality of it at the moment, mainly because I just started writing again. A new chapter is coming soon, as I am working pretty hard on it. :

It'll be longer, I promise. And this one I should keep up with-- seeing as I don't have too many big devotions in my life other than my boyfriend.

Again; this is to get my mind wheels turning to get ideas for The Gentleman take off.

Au reviour. :
