No longer in the dark
Chapter 1 Heart break
Kagome sat at the edge of the sacred well thinking 'it's been two weeks since the well has closed and since the battle against Naraku was won... why did I get stuck here? Why did the jewel not send me home' Kagome looked up at the sky longingly. She tensed as she felt Inuyasha approaching. "Kagome I want the jewel it's time you gave it up" Inuyasha said gruffly
"You really think I would if I could? You just want to wish that pot back to life.." Kagome snapped
Inuyasha slapped Kagome, she staggered back then fell backwards into the well. Inuyasha no caring what happened to her at that point left to go find Kikyo. Kagome slowly lifted her self out of the well and started walking towards Kaede's village. As Kagome got in to the older priestess's hut she seen Sango Miroku and Shippo sitting there.
"what is it guy" Kagome asked trying to keep her composer.
Sango sighed "Kagome please don't start complaining about Inuyasha we really don't want to hear it" "I'm sorry to say this lady Kagome but if you were no so weak then maybe Inuyasha would not treat you like this" Miroku said not even able to look Kagome in the eye.
"I see well I should start cooking its getting late"
As the days when on it seemed like they were all the same Inuyasha insulted her more everyday while demanding the Shikon No Tama. Three weeks had passed since Inuyasha had hit her. Kagome sat in the hot springs. ' I should really leave they don't need me here... I could just leave tonight, maybe just travel the rest of my life...' Kagome sighed in distaste at her own thought.
It was starting to get dark so Kagome got out of the hot springs got dressed and headed back to the village. She did not get two feet from the springs when she heard someone calling her name.
"w-who is it" Kagome stammered.
"It is I child Midoriko" the spirit said kindly.
" my child I know ye have many questions but now is not the time. Hurry and get back to your home and pack your things." with that she faded away.
Kagome did as she was told, Kagome said up late to see if Midoriko would come again. When she did not Kagome drifted into a light sleep.
Kagome's Dream
Kagome sat if a field of the most beautiful purple flowers tipped with black. She felt at peace for once in the 5 long weeks since the well had closed. She felt a holy ara aproche her.
"lady Midoriko, where am I?"
"You are home, child we have only a few hours and you must be ready"
"Ready... Ready for what?"
" Do you truly want to be free of your pain"
"yes but..."
"I will help you"
"thank you but how"
" In the morning you will find two containers. One full a tea and one empty. As you take your morning bath take the empty one with you, by the springs you will find a dagger. Cut your hand and let your blood fill the container. Once it is filled you hand will heal. Bring the container back and hide it under the boards of you home. Then drink the entire container of tea. Do this for the next ten days. Then I will visit you again." The spirit calmly explained.
Before Kagome had a chance to question her Midoriko disappeared.
End of Kagome's dream
