Kagome sat staring at the well, one hand up clutching a coin she wore around her neck with tears slowly falling from her eyes. It had been 3 years now since the jewel had been completed, and 3 years since she had been home. After her wish for everyone that had been effected by Naraku's treachery to be free and happy, she had not been able to return home. Oh she tried several times to get back, but the well's magic had dried up. The only thing that gave her hope right now was this seemingly normal coin in her hand. The coin was silver with flowers that looked like roses on one side, and writing on the other. She could have figured out what it said, if she really wanted to, but she was just tired.
It had been hard on her since then; Sango got her brother back and with Miroku's hand curse free, they were married with a kid on the way. InuYasha was so stunned by her wish that he didn't notice that Kikyo was back and whole till a full five minutes later. With him no longer having to choose between a reincarnated version and the real thing, he chooses the original version named Kikyo. They were now mated, and living happily together with Kikyo as the priestess of her home village. Kagome couldn't take being the fifth wheel, she took to wondering around the surrounding area's keeping them safe from the lower class demons that try to hurt them, but she would always wonder back to Kaede's hut.
One night about a week after everything settled, Kagome was walking the woods and found this coin on the ground. It was cover with mud and dirt, but with a bit of elbow grease she got it to shine like new. Since then as she wondered, people wanted to pay her for saving their lives. She would only take small trinkets, such as the beads and leather cord she used to make her necklace. It was her first real attempt at making something like this. It worked well and now she had a beautiful coin as a necklace. She tried to find out how much it was worth at first but no one knew what it was, so she kept it. It was her first real keepsake.
As Kagome sat looking at the well, thinking about everything that lead to his point, she just wanted to forget about everything. Maybe then she would be happy, and live a normal life here in the past. Just then a lone tear dripped from her chin onto the coin she was holding, and a searing pain shot through her head and she fainted.
AN: This is just something to get me back into the writing frame of mind. I have no idea where I'm going with this fic as a whole. So with that in mind any reviews would be greatly appreciated and maybe you will see your ideas in the story. With that thought I also want to add that I am in the process of moving out of my current place into an apartment so if I take awhile to update that's why.
Thanks for reading!
