Chapter 1

None of her friends were there. Life went on for Sango and Miroku. They were now living in Sango's old village, she was now pregnant. Sango became a teacher and Miroku continued his monk duties. Inuyasha, her dearest friend, and first love established mutually they would never be more than friends. Her romantic feelings came to a halt a year ago. He now was with Kikyo, starting where they left off.

Her work in this time was done. There was nothing left. No reason for her to be here any longer. She knew that once she went back to her time, there was no coming back here. After saying her last goodbyes forever to her friends, she sat under the Sacred Tree and cried. Cried that after everything, she had nothing. No happy ending. She jumped into the well not looking back. Spiritual light engulfed her, then came to a fade.

Kagome sat at the bottom on the well for minutes, not wanting to look up. Not feeling like going on. Now she was suppose to live her life like nothing happened. Wash all of those memories and feelings away like a dream. Finally seeing there was no sunlight at the top of this well, just an old ceiling, she began to climb up. This was the hardest thing in her life to do.

For a three months Kagome tried to fit back into her normal life. It was like a boring movie passing by. School was a drag. Many times she was daydreaming instead of studying. Her journal was filled with doodles and drawings of her life in the feudal era. Kagome sat idle and uninterested in the gossip of her old friends. She couldn't even begin an interest in Hojo, the most popular boy in school. He was still his persistant usual self though. Kagome felt as much chemistry with Hojo as a to rock. Even in her dreams at night she saw her friends, had nightmares about past battles. Many nights she awoke in sweat and tears. Her worried family tried to coax her into a more social life. They felt it was time to move on since there was no going back. She wasn't interested in mainstream culture, she eventually gave up socializing completely. Everyday phone calls from her friends turned to a few times a week, to none at all. Her little spark of happiness was in History. Reading any book or watching any documentary about the feudal era. This made her feel closer to her friends. Even listening to knowledge from her grandfather made her a little happy. Stories she once shrugged off.

It was May now, and the warm breeze blew Kagome's hair softy. Standing in the family Shrine, she closed her eyes. She felt numb. Tears began to well, sensing her sadness Buyo the cat rubbed Meowed as he rubbed his head against her legs. Kagome sat down, cried for first time in months, and for her last time forever. She was ready to heal and move on. So she stayed there cuddling her cat.

While stroking Buyo's head, his ears suddenly perked and he bagan to sniff. Kagome looked around wondering the cause of her cats sudden change. A rabbit hopped past, headed to the well house. Buyo jumped out of her arms and darted after the rabbit.

"Buyo come back!" Kagome shrieked. "Darn cat, always getting into something." She gave a half a chuckle. A loud crash was heard from the well house.

"Buyo!" Kagome yelled again. She now had to face her emotions and revisit this well again, after several months. Just for this cat.

Opening the dusty doors, the spring sun peaked into the structure. The rabbit skipped past Kagome again and out of the little hole in the wall.

"Buyo!"

"Meow….Meow…..Meow!"

She frantically walked around, searching for the source of the meows, Buyo kept meowing but she could not find him. Something shifted at the bottom of the well, then her cat meowed. How did the cat get down there? Not counting on anything to happen, she climbed down the rickety ladder intent on rescuing her cat.

Kagome now stood at the bottom of the well.

The cat was in a corner afraid, but ok.

Nothing happened.

She let out a breath of relief. Scooping up the overweight cat into her arms she ascended back up the ladder. She was going to get her grandfather to close the well and patch the hole in the wall.

Once reaching the top she safely set the cat down and he lazily walked back outside.

'Welp, cats have minds of there own.' She thought.

Kagome turned back towards the well for one last time. Edging closer to the edge to look down, she fell. This time the all familiar spiritual light engulfed her sending her back. Kagome felt exhilarated, confused, happy, and afraid all at the same time.

Now on the other side of the well, she was back in the Fuedal Era. She'd visit Kaede and everyone else. What she didn't know was a hungry snake demon awaited at the top of the well. Sniffing out it's next meal.

Kagome lay flat, in a clearing in the forest. Her clothes clinging to her while sweat beads ran down her forehead. A dead snake demon lay coiled to her side. She'd killed it when she touched it, her purifying energy burned it to its death. It was too late, it had already bit her on her shoulder. The poison was taking effect. Her heart slowed in her chest, her body was weak. This was it. After all she went through she'd die here like this. Like a disposal. Her friends were gone. No one was here to save her. With a weak stretch, she stretched out to someone. No one was there. She felt like dirt, useless, the second most lowest point in her life.

Which each passing second the poison seeped further and further into her blood stream. Cutting off one thing after another. Kagome felt like a hollowed stone, helpless, like nothing. There was no calling Inuyasha to save her now. Now she'd just be one with earth. She was going to shut her eyes and just die.

Familiar concerned blue eyes looked into hers. "Kagome!"

Then she shut her eyes.
