Chapter 1
Kagome lifted her head off of her geometry book and glanced out the window. You'll be back in a few days. You need to study. She got up and opened her window. She sighed as she remembered what she said before she went down the bone-eater's well.
"I'll be back in three days. I'm going home to catch up on some schoolwork and get some more supplies. Besides, Inuyasha needs sometime to cool off."
It had only been a few hours and she was already anxious to go back.
This is hopeless!
She slammed her geometry book shut and laid on her bed. Sigh. It's so nice to be in my own bed again. Sleeping outside can get so uncomfortable.
She closed her eyes and relaxed. Then she heard a tap on the window.
"Inu- oh..." It was just the wind blowing harshly. She got up and closed the window. She noticed her alarm clock that Inuyasha had broken the last time he came through her window. She chuckled to herself.
"It's only for a few days," she demanded, "I've gotta do some studying."
She sat back at her desk, but she didn't open her textbook. Instead, she looked at the shards of the shikon jewel that she carried in a bottle.
Another sigh.
"Ugh! This is ridiculous! Why can't I stop thinking about..."
There was a knock on her door.
"Big sis? Are you busy?" asked Souta.
"No, Souta. Come in."
"How long are you going to be back for?" he asked innocently.
"Three days or so. I'm not quite sure. Why?"
"Well, I was just wondering," Souta looked at his feet, "if maybe you wanted to go to the park with me tomorrow."
Kagome stood up and looked at her younger brother. She smiled, "Sure Souta. I know I've been in the feudal era for a while. We can catch up at the park tomorrow."
"Great!" Souta smiled widely; "You can tell me all about Inuyasha and all the things you've done in the feudal era!"
"Okay. But now I have to study. I have a test on Monday."
Souta ran out of her bedroom with Kagome's cat following close behind.
Going to the park will surely take my mind off Inuyasha. I wonder how he's doing without me... Then again, he's probably glad I'm gone. The only reason he wants me there is so I can help him find the shards of the shikon jewel. Otherwise, I'm useless to him...
There was another tap on the window, this one louder than the other. Kagome looked over to see Inuyasha standing there.
"Miss me already?" said Kagome, "I told you, three days! Or were you too stubborn to listen?"
"Kagome," said Inuyasha quietly, "you...you have to come back."
"But I just left! Why do I—"
"You just have to," he said sternly, "I can't explain right now. Come on."
He grabbed her wrist and pulled her towards the window.
"Inuyasha, what is going on?"
Inuyasha didn't answer as he grabbed the shikon shards and pushed them into her hand. Then he pulled her onto his back and said, "Hold on," as he jumped out of the window and towards the bone-eater's well.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome yelled out, "Sit!"
The necklace around Inuyasha's neck glowed as he crashed to the ground, right before the well.
"What was that for?" he growled.
"What's going on? Why do I have to go back so soon? Is something wrong?"
Inuyasha rubbed his back. "I told you. I'll explain everything when we get there. Don't you trust me?"
She looked at him, then climbed back on his back. He gracefully leaped into the ancient well. They hit the bottom of the well with a surprising THUD!
"We can't get through!" said Kagome.
"Damn." hissed Inuyasha.
