Hey readers! Anelle is back! I know it's been like over a year since I've done anything. I just hit a major road block in my writing of New Strength and I guess I decided that it was pretty much finished…I can't really think of where else it would go. And just yesterday I thought of an idea for a new story!! I hope you all like it! Here's the first chapter!

Memories

Kagome was riding the train home that day from her new school. She was kicked out of her old school because of all her absences. As she looked out the window she sighed for about the hundredth time that day. It was exactly two months ago that she left the feudal era for good. After Naraku was finished she was forced to go home.

Flashback:

The battle had been raging on for hours. Kagome looked around her and noticed her friends exhaustion. Miroku was getting weak from using the wind tunnel so much and having sucked in some of Naraku's poisonous bugs. Sango was bleeding and forced to fight her brother Kohaku so she was obviously not fighting back and was sadly injured again and again by the boy. Little Shippo was fighting his hardest to stay standing and using his fox fire magic to help fight the lower class demons. Even Kikyo had joined the fight and was currently holding a crack in her clay body open so all her souls wouldn't fly out.

Kagome herself was bruised and cut in many places along with being drained from using so much of her miko powers. At last she turned her gaze toward Inuyasha. He had numerous giant gashes on his body and was barely able to hold himself up. He was fighting Naraku himself. Sesshoumaru was surprisingly fighting with his brother, but he had not one scratch on him, of course.

Kagome saw Inuyasha looking for Naraku's energy and knew he was going to use his backlash wave, as a final attempt. Kagome knew it wouldn't be enough though. She knew she needed to do something. Naraku was busy fighting Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru to notice much else so she tried something Kaede had taught her. She concentrated on her miko energy and started to glow pink. As she did so she saw Inuyasha's and Sesshoumaru's auras glow pink as well.

"Inuyasha? Sesshoumaru? Can you hear me?" She asked in her mind. She watched them very carefully and saw Sesshoumaru nod his head once in acknowledgement and Inuyasha look slightly confused. "Ok good. Inuyasha, your backlash wave is not going to be enough on it's own to beat him. You and Sesshoumaru have to work together! Use the backlash wave along with Tokijin's power. That might be enough to do it." She explained and saw both of the heads nod in agreement.

Naraku sent out a large blast of energy and Inuyasha used his backlash wave to send it right back and Sesshoumaru sent out lightning from sword but Kagome new it wouldn't be enough still. So she focused as hard as she could to gather her miko powers into her last arrow and let it fly straight toward Naraku. Her arrow combined itself with the backlash wave and Tokijin's power and it hit Naraku in one great force of power. He let out one final yell before he disintegrated into nothing.

The Shikon jewel floated to the ground where Kagome picked it up and it was instantly purified. All of a sudden, the jewel started to glow and a shining figure appeared before them. It was a beautiful woman in battle gear. She had beautiful long raven hair and ruby red lips.

"Thank you, Kagome. You knew the answer all along was that fighting together was the only way o a victory. Thank you for finding the shards and putting the jewel back together again. But now that the great evil is defeated, your mission is complete. You must go back to your own time, child." Midoriko said.

"But…can I least have some time to say goodbye to my friends?" She asked.

"Of course dear. You will always be the protector of this jewel. Always…" Midoriko said as she faded from view. The jewel glowed bright and vanished but Kagome felt it reappear inside of her once again, where it had first remained.

She was a little confused about the "always being the protector" thing but she brushed it off as she turned to her friends. To say goodbye for the last time.

End flashback.

After that, Inuyasha said he was going to keep his promise to Kikyo and go to hell with her. Kagome was a little sad about this but knew it was for the best. Miroku asked Sango to marry him and she surprisingly accepted. Kohaku died unfortunately but Sango was happy to give him a proper burial. Shippo had the hardest time letting her go. But she promised she would always be his okaa-san. She somehow persuaded Sesshoumaru to take Shippo back to the Western Lands with him and train him, so he would grow up to be a strong and formidable youkai and give Rin someone to play with.

That was the last time she ever saw her friends. She had come back to the future and watched at the well glowed bright yellow instead of blue, showing that it was sealed forever. It had taken two years to complete the jewel and defeat Naraku. She started school again and was in her junior year. But her old school would not let her come back so she had to go outside the city to go to school. Kagome had a hard time making friends in her new school but didn't mind too much. She didn't feel like she belonged to this world of boring normality. She wished for adventure again.
