Legends Don't Die Chapter 1: My Time is My Home. Your Time is Your Home KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

"Kagome! We've defeated Naraku! All our hard work has come to an end! And the Shikon no Tama was sent to hell with Kikyou once again!" Sango said excitedly.

Kagome nodded. "Sango… it's all over. Everything. My purpose here is through. You all understand that I have to go back to my time and stay there forever."

"Kagome…" Sango began.

"You aren't going anywhere, Wench." Inuyasha said stubbornly.

"I am. Sit boy!" Kagome said sharply.

Inuyasha 'sat'.

"My time is my home. Your time is your home." Kagome said.

Kagome grabbed her bag, hugged everyone farewell, slapped Miroku, comforted Shippou, and finally made her way to the well.

"Sayonara, Shingoku Jidai. Sayonara, my friends." Kagome whispered into the wind. With one last look to the forest around her, she jumped into the well, a heavy weight falling on her heart.

Kagome awoke the next morning, and got ready for school. She took a shower, dried her hair, brushed her hair and teeth, and headed out the door. Throughout all these activities, her mind was elsewhere.

"Kagome! Kagome!" Ayumi, one of Kagome's friends called. (I don't remember her friends' names if they have any. So I'm making them up)

Kagome continued to walk, unknowingly ignoring Ayumi.

"Kagome! Hello, anyone in there?!" Ayumi asked

"Oh! I'm sorry Ayumi." Kagome said, pausing to wait for Ayumi.

"What's up with you? You seem out of it. What did the therapist say to do about your social disorder?" Ayumi asked.

"Social Disorder?" Kagome asked, twitching. 'GRANDPA! YOUR DEAD WHEN I GET HOME!' she thought angrily. "I was… home with a toothache. Not at the therapist. Grandpa must have heard me wrong." Kagome replied, still twitching.

"Oh. Okay." Ayumi replied. "So what's wrong? You aren't acting like yourself."

'How do you know what's like me?' Kagome thought darkly. "Just leave me alone, Ayumi. I'm feeling sick. I'm going back home."

"Are you okay?" Ayumi asked worriedly. "Do you want me to walk you home?"

"NO!" Kagome shouted angrily. "Just leave me alone!" she ran off from her friend, pushing through the crowd. 'What's wrong with me? I… feel so uneasy. I wonder if there's something wrong…' Kagome skidded to a stop at the shrine steps.

Her grandfather was at the hospital, and her mother was out grocery shopping. Souta should be at school. So she was home alone now.

Warily, Kagome climbed the steps to the shrine. 'Maybe just a quick peek to see how everyone's doing…' Kagome thought staring at the well. 'No. I'll just be in the way.'

Kagome marched to her bedroom and threw down her bag. 'I guess I should take this opportunity to catch up on my work. Loads of makeup work…' Kagome sighed and sat down in her desk chair and began to work.

A few hours later, Kagome found herself once again out next to the well. 'I just want to forget. Why can't I do anything without thinking that everyone's in danger? If they needed me, they WOULD send Inuyasha to get me… right?' Kagome thought, staring into the depths of the well.

'Do they even miss me?' She thought bitterly. She tore herself away from the well, and went back to the house to study.

At two her mom returned. "Kagome, what are you doing home so early?" She asked worriedly.

"I felt sick." Kagome replied, rubbing her forehead.

"Perhaps you should go back to the Shingoku Jidai? The air there always seems to clear your head into a good mood."

"I can't." Kagome replied bitterly. "I'm going to the skating rink. I'll be back at five." Kagome said grabbing her wallet.

Instead of going to the skating rink, she headed to the graveyard.

She skidded to a stop on her bicycle. "Gosh. I'm so paranoid. I even lied to mom."

Kagome hopped off her bike and leaned it against a nearby tree and walked along the path through the graveyard.

"Shingoku Jidai… Shingoku Jidai..." Kagome mumbled. "Here's one…" she bent down.

"Here lies Shodai Shinki, who died in the Shingoku Jidai, on March 16." She read aloud. She stood up and continued along.

"Here lies…" Kagome gasped. "Sango! Who died in the Shingoku Jidai, on July 18. Oh my god. That's three weeks from now!" Kagome frantically scanned the tombstones for more familiar names.

"Here lies Kaede… died on July 18… Here lies Shippou… died on July 18… Here lies Miroku…died on July 18." Kagome gasped and looked at the last tombstone. "Oh my god…" She clamped her hands over her mouth and tears ran down her face. "Oh my god…"
