~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~
It's been three years since Kagome returned to her own world for good. The Shikon No Tama was complete, and everything returned to the way it was before Kagome came( for Inuyasha, I meant). However, one slight change was that since he inherited his father's killing sword, then it is only fitting if he inherited the land left for him as an heirloom. Thus, Inuyasha is now the great Tai-hanyou ( I just made that up), Lord Inu-yasha. He now rules the Western lands of Feudal Japan. No one dared say he wasn't good enough for it, since they knew what the Tetsusaiga can do. But despite the power, Inuyasha remained as rightful and just as he always did before he became "The Lord".
Inuyasha sighed heavily as he thought back to the times he and Kagome had shared. True, tyhose days were hard days, but they were enjoyable days, given the fact that it was Kagome he spent those days with. But now, those were all gone, just as his dear love was. The only remaining reminder he had of her was the completed Shikon No Tama, which he craved so much shortly after Kikyou had died. But now, it was as useless to him as a blade of grass was to a tiger. The only value he saw in it was that it was he and Kagome, along with other people he didn't necessarily get along with, who put the Shikon No Tama back together, and that the shikon was what purely reflected those hard yet happy days he spent.
The Shikon No Tama, before it was put together again, had once glimmered with a life-like glow, but now, that glow was gone, only to be replaced by a dull shine, which was NOT pretty to look at./ I'd give anything just to have Kagome at my side again/ Inuyasha thought dully as he leaned against the railing of his balcony. /There's nothing to do right now, everything seemed so boring and quiet that even a Shippo ranting would be nice./ Inuyasha sighed again. " Inuyasha!!!" a young voice chirped happily from below. That voice belonged to a now 10 year old Kitsune known as Shippo.
/Oh,crap. Scratch what I had just said about a Shippo ranting./ Inuyasha thought, slightly annoyed. He had decided to keep Shippo as his personal messenger boy, given the fact that Kagome's last wish before she left for good was for Shippo to be somehow, well cared for. Everything seemed to remind him of Kagome. " What is it, Shippo?" Inuyasha asked, returning to his senses. " There were rumours going around about a stranger who came from the Bone-Eater's Well!!" Shippo chirped happily, obviously knowing that the "stranger" might as well be his mother-like Kagome-onii-chan.
"What? you're not serious, Shippo! Are you!?" Inuyasha said, a sudden feeling of happiness sweeling inside of him. "Yeah, I'm dead serious, you dope! Miroku and Sango are already there!! Let's hurry up! ^.^" Shippo impatiently urged. "Ok, will you just give me a minute to put some recognizable clothes on!?" Inuyasha huffed. It turned out that the "recognizable" clothes were none other than his red yukata. "ok, done. Now let's go." Inuyasha said, as he strapped on Testsusaiga. " why would we need that?" Shippo asked, curious. " In case anyone tries something funny." Inuyasha replied.
Meanwhile, in Kagome's time.....
" Kagome, hurry up and pack up some of your most valuable belongings!" Mrs. Higurashi urged suddenly, after she had barged in." Okaa-san? Why?" Kagome asked curiously. " The neighbouring town decided that it would be funny to have a war, so now they're sending troops in here to kill! We need to evacuate! they'll be here any moment now!" Mrs.Higurashi explained hurriedly. " WHAAAT!?" Kagome shrieked loudly. Never before had there been a war, and it was strange for her to suddenly leave years of work behind just to get it destroyed.
Back to Inuyasha's time.....
"Wow! We're there, Inuyasha! We're really there!!" Shippo squeaked happily. " Yeah......" Inuyasha was hoping that this "stranger" was Kagome. Little did he know that he'd be disappointed, which came soon. "Inuyasha! You came!" Sango said, shocked. "Well, duh. I just wanted to see who this stranger is." Inuyasha explained. "Well, sorry to disappoint you, Inuyasha. We saw this 'stranger'. She was a fraud. She's not Kagome, just this measly little girl with a ragged Kimono that splayed outwards ( a tutu)." Miroku said, with an air of depression. " Oh.....I see." Inuyasha said, disappointed. A few minutes ago, he felt as if he was flying, but now he felt like someone had just slapped him on his face hard. " Oh no! I heard that the Western Lord's household had been broken into and there's a thief on the loose!" a villager who just seemingly came back from a nearby town exclaimed loudly.
Inuyasha gasped. A thief was on the loose! He'd better check it out. Inuyasha dashed out of the village quickly, and flew towards his own household./Whatever this damned thief stole, it had better NOT be the Shikon No Tama! I swear I'll rip this guy to pieces smaller than grains of sand!/Inuyasha thought angrily as he rushed home. True enough, his suspicions were confirmed. the robber had not stolen anything except for the Shikon No Tama. " KUSO!!" Inuyasha screamed with frustration. To him, he was a failure. He couldn't stop the woman he loved from leaving him. And now, he even couldn't stop his only reminder of her from being stolen.
Meanwhile, the thief who had the Shikon ran far away, unbeknownst to himself, he was running straight towards the Goshinboku, where the Bone Eater's Well was.
Back in Kagome's Time......
"Aaaaahhhhhhhhhh!" Kagome shrieked as she ran through the vast corridors of the Higurashi Shrine, a troop of the enemy pursueing , hot on her trails. She knew she would end up like all the girls who were caught. The young girls who were caught were either sold as slaves or raped on the spot. And she didn't want either.
In Inuyasha's Time....
The thief ran desperately, afraid that the lord would find him and arrest him soon. As he ran, he saw a wellup ahead. Without even thinking, he tossed the Shikon No Tama into the well, and sat down for a rest.
In Kagome's time.......
Kagome gasped as she ran, closer and closer to the place where her family kept the well. Without even thinking, she pried the door open, ran in, bolted the door, and jumped into the well, and hid. A few minutes later, the door burst open, and in marched the troop. " Damn, she got away," Soldier #1 said. " And she was a pretty one too, mind you." soldier #2 said, witha n air of depression. " I don't seem to hear any breathing, guess the girl fell to her death in the well." soldier #1 said. "Well, maybe. But just in case she made it through, i'll throw this in as a farewell present." soldier#2 smirked, as he threw into the well, a ticking bomb.
In Inuyasha's time..
Kagome shut her eyes tight, as if expecting something to blow her up. But no, there was nothing. She opened her eyes. Silence. There was nothing. Kagome slowly got up, and began to look around. Sunlight was pouring through the opening of the well. / Sunlight? There shouldn't be any sunlight! Our well had a roof on the top! No sunlight could get in!/Kagome thought. Then, something hit her. She might not be home after all! She could be in a certain somewhere right now! She began to feel around the moist earth that she was on. Suddenly, her hand hit something hard. It was round, and smooth, and it began to glow. It was the Shikon no Tama!! Kagome gasped, happily. This meant that she might be somewhere she wanted to be! Confident, she climbed upwards. When she reached the top, she gasped. Yup, this was definitely Feudal Japan.
Cautiously, Kagome stepped out of the well, just to be knocked unconcious by a thief who stole the Shikon No Tama. " Heh, I'll get lots of money this time. You, along with that bead will earn me a lot. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!" The man, known as Tetsuo cackled. He walked off with kagome and the Shikon No Tama, as well as a dead man that he had killed earlier and dressed up in his thiefish disguise, and walked off to the Western Castle. When Tetsuo got to the front gate he knocked politely. Two of Inuyasha's guards opened the gate. " what do you want?" one of them asked. " I'm here to return something that I think the great lord himself lost." Tetsuo lied politely, as he held up the Shikon No Tama. "*gasp* Lord Inu's bead! And, what, pray, are these?" the guard asked, as he was handed the unconcious Kagome and the dead man. " These two came with the bead. This evil scum *points to dead man* must have been trying to hurt this poor girl after he stole the jewel. But rest assured, he is dead." Tetsuo lied. " I see, thank you. you will be rewarded two bags of gold for that service." the guard informed Tetsuo. " I humbly thank you." Tetsuo said, grinnig evilly.
" Milord, the Sacred Jewel has been returned by a kindly citizen, along with the one who stole the jewel." The guard informed Inuyasha. "Good. Show me both the jewel and the guilty one." Inuyasha ordered. " Yes, milord." was the answer, as the dead man was dragged in, and the Shikon was presented into the room on a velvet cushion. " Take the dead man, and burn him. as for the Jewel, give me it." Inuyasha furtherly ordered. " Hai, Milord." The guard answered.
With that, the guard took the dead man to the furnace, and left the jewel on the table. When the guards were out of sight, he quickly grabbed it and sniffed at it. Yes.....Kagome's scent was on it. He noticed it as soon as it was brought in. It was fresh scent, not scent that had faded years ago. Also, it was purified once again, and had that lively shine in it.
