Chapter 1
Kagome is in the middle of a horrific battle, the final battle with Naraku. She was glancing at her surroundings, saw the demons swarming all around them, coming from all sides. She thought there was no hope. Inuyasha was in trouble, being pushed back by every blow that Kagura dealt to him. Sango and Miroku were making slow progress towards helping Inuyasha. Slicing through demons, blood splattering their clothes, Shippo at their backs, trying to cover them the best he could. Kagome felt her heart swell, seeing her son fighting against the best of them. He had been training with Sesshomaru for the past year. He was to the point where he could finally keep up with Sango. Then her heart cracked in half when she saw what happened next. Shippo was struck down, screaming in pain. Kagome released her power, killing every demon that stood by her.
"SHIPPO!" she screamed.
"Shippo….Shippo please be ok,"she whispered, though she already knew the truth.
She started running, not noticing that Sesshomaru was running in the same destination. She never saw the demons in her way, as they were purified as soon as they gt close to her, but it still wasn't enough. Sesshomaru was the only one to reach Shippo, Sango, and Miroku.
They thought the worse, that through her distraction she was killed while trying to get to her son. That was all but Sesshomaru. He saw he disappear, slowly fading into the air. He wanted to tell everyone what he saw, but they needed to complete the battle at hand.
Kagome woke up lying in front of the Goshinboku tree. That's when she realized that she was in the future. She saw her house with her mother running out to her.
"Kagome," her mother called, "Kagome are you ok."
She immediately ran to the well, jumping in, knowing she would return to the past. She had to return. She landed at the bottom of the well. There was no light, no weightless feeling, just the pain she felt as she realized it didn't work, that she was still in the future. She broke down, knowing she would never know what had happened to all of her friends. Never know what happened to the jewel.
Kagome's life passed by her. Day turning to night, night to weeks, weeks to months. Finally her mother had enough.
"Kagome!" shouted Masami, "I have had enough. You are to get up and get on with your life. I have sat by watching you wallow away in misery, keeping my mouth shut, but I am done! I refuse to sit by any longer."
"You are my daughter, you hold part of my heart, and you are breaking it," she whispered.
Masami kneeled next to Kagome, who had remained passive throughout her speech. She turned Kagome's face towards her. Masami wanted her to see the pain in her eyes, eating away at her, tearing her heart open a little more each passing day.
"Look at me," she pleaded. "Do you not see what this is doing to me, the pain this causes me!" Tears were now flowing down Masami's face. "You might have lost the past Kagome, but you still have the future. You still have your brother, grandfather, and me. Please, PLEASE! Come back to us. We need our shining sun back."
With that Masami left Kagome's room. Praying to Kami above that her words found the Kagome that everyone knew and love. Masami didn't realize how much her words struck home to Kagome.
Kagome started crying, realizing how much pain she had caused her family. She thought if she shut herself away in her room, they wouldn't notice her. That they would just go on with their lives. Now she became aware of how wrong she had been.
"I am sorry," Kagome whispered, "I never meant for you to feel my pain. I will go on. I have to. I cannot allow my family to feel the way I do."
"I HAVE TO." she shouted.
The next morning Kagome immerged from her room, walking down the stairs for the first time in months.
"Ka..gome…..Kagome!" shouted Sota. "I missed you so much." He started crying. He ran to his sister, hugging her like she would disappear at any moment."Please don't go away again."
"I won't," she cried," never again. "I am sooo sorry. I love you. Please forgive me?"
Sota held her at arm's length, staring at her like she had grown 5 heads."I'll always forgive you," he said. "You're my sister."
Masami then decided to poke her head out of the kitchen at that moment. "Kagome, would you like to join us for breakfast? I made your favorite…"
"I think that would be great," said Kagome. "I love you mom. Thank you."
"Don't worry about it," Masami responded.
Later that day Kagome sat down next to her mother.
"Mom…..I am going to go sign up for classes tomorrow. I don't know what I am going to do yet, but I know I need to get started, before I fall back into that nightmare….. I love you mom. Thank you showing me what I was doing to everyone. Had I realized I would have tried," Kagome started crying, "I would have tried, for you guys. It's just so….so hard. I don't even know what happened to everyone. I don't know what happened to the jewel. Sango…Miroku, shippo…Inu…Inuyasha. I have no idea what happened to any of them."
Kagome felt good finally talking about everything with her mother.
"I loved them all mom. They were my family too. And now I will never get them back" She murmured as she cried into her mother's shoulder.
Masami just held her daughter. Whispering comforting words to her while rubbing her back, letting Kagome cry out her sorrows.
