Chapter 1: Return and Escape to a New Place

Kagome knew for sure whenever Inuyasha follows the soul collectors that belonged to the dead miko, Kikyo. She made sure her face is covered in an emotionless expression, as if she didn't care at all that Inuyasha goes to Kikyo when he has the chance. Instead of spying on him to see what he might find out or might force herself to regret doing it, she just gets her backpack and goes to the Bone Eater's well just outside of Inuyasha's forest where Inuyasha has been sealed to the Sacred Tree for 50years by Kikyo when she was alive, and they were tricked into betraying each other by Naraku who disguised himself as both of them. As she comes out to the opening where the well comes into view, Kagome doesn't hesitate to turn around to see if Inuyasha followed by her scent. Without a spot of him, she jumps in as the well's power teleports her 500 years into the future where she came from. "I'm done with him." She said to herself.

When she gets to the other side, She sees something different about the well house. The entire thing is gone. No shelter from the rain whenever it pours down. Kagome can see it a cloudy day as well as she gets out. All around her is nothing like she has ever seen. Literally everything is gone. The buildings are destroyed by something. There isn't one person in sight. Even the sound is dead silent. "What happened her?" She asks as she looks towards her house to find destroyed as well. "No!" She runs as fast as she could. The debris was all over. Another one thing came to mind. The sacred tree. She turns to the gigantic plant and is in complete shock. The tree is chopped down. The stump was somehow still in tacted in the trough though. She couldn't believe it. Everything so dear to here is completely gone. Her family, the shrine, the city etc. She kneels down to the stump and puts her hand on the top, hoping she can somehow get connected to the past. But nothing. She then tries to go back to the well and jumps in. But she couldn't get through. "What happened when I was gone?" She asks herself.

With no way to get back to Inuyasha's time, she's left all alone in her time. "Kagome Higurashi." A voice calls out to her. Kagome turns to find one person coming up to her with a gentle smile. Her skin is dark tan, her eyes were yellow, close to Inuyasha's eyes. Her hair was plum purple in a high ponytail. Her wardrobe was nothing Kagome seen before. She has tight black pants on with an orange sweater on. "Who are you?" Kagome asks her calmly. "I'm Yoruichi Shihoin. I've been sent here to take you to a safer place." She answers her question the second she comes up to her. "Wait. Can you tell me what happened here?" Kagome asks her another question and so on. Yoruichi puts her hand up to stop her from talking. "Calm down. I'll answer your questions. For now we have to leave this town at once." Yoruichi answers one last time. She grabs Kagome's are and then they disappeared in a blink of an eye.

By the time Kagome and Yoruichi got to their destination. Kagome looks around to see where they are now. "Where are we?" She asks the tanned woman. "We're in Karakura Town." She answers her once more before they enter a shaggy store in the back of an alleyway. "And we're in Kisuke Urahara's shop." Yoruichi adds as she leads her inside. Kagome didn't want to ask anymore questions and follows her inside.

The inside of the store seems nice and simple to begin with. Some shelves has the usual supplies for a typical house such as cleaning and food. But some things were new to her. Somehow some of the objects are almost identical to a regular pez head. "This way." Yoruichi gets her attention and leads her to the back of the shop.

They enter the empty room and made themselves comfortable. "Kagome, your questions will be answer once Kisuke comes in." Yoruichi tells her so far. Kagome nods to show she's understanding. Soon a little timid girl in pigtails come in with some tea for the two women. "Here you go, Yoruichi." She said to her. "Thank you Ururu." Yoruichi gives her gratitude and takes a sip. "Here you go." Ururu said to Kagome this time as she places her tea onto the table that is in front. "Thanks." Kagome smiles down to her. "Ururu, quit that and get back to work." A young boy with a stubborn attitude calls out to her. Kagome raises an eyebrow to see it was kid with pink hair with more arrogance than she'd give him credit. "Sorry, Jinta." Ururu apologizes to far. Jinta does the unthinkable. He hits her in the head. Kagome couldn't believe what she was seeing right in front of her. A young boy having the guts to strike a little girl on the head. "Alright, kid what did you that for?" Kagome glares down to the kid. Jinta however doesn't should any guilt whatsoever. Ururu's weeping gets the better of her, but she can hold it in. "I do it all the time whenever she's not doing what she is told." Jinta answers her with a smug look. Just by looking at him like is sickening. Yoruichi couldn't believe what she's seeing as well, but stays out of it to see what Kagome could.

Kagome growls and grabs a hold of the boy's arms, swings them behind his back and squeeze them like crazy. "You better listen to me carefully, kid. I want you to apologize to her right here, right now." She threatens him. Somehow deep inside, this isn't like her. But she wanted to make amends to make sure the boy is doing what he is told by her. Not getting a reply from him, made Kagome squeeze his arms even harder. "Okay. Okay. Ururu I'm sorry." He quickly said to the weeping girl. All Ururu did in return is nod to accept the apology. Before kagome releases him, she whispers into his ear. "If I every catch you do this again, you're going to be a much more trouble than you'd imagine. And I'm not joking about it either." She warns him the lets him go. Ginta nods with scared look and leaves the room. Kagome didn't know what gotten into her, but she kinda felt relieved about it though. "I have to admit you are natural with kids." Yoruichi comments the scene. Kagome turns around and scratches the back of her neck. "It's nothing. I have this guy that had that stubbornness within himself, and the girl from another little kid I know of." She explains to the woman in front of her. "Yoruichi, I assume she has arrived." A male voice said to them from outside of the room. "Yes Kisuke, Kagome is here as we speak." Yoruichi said to the man that enters. He has short blond hair with a green and white hair on head. He was wearing a fine brown jacket with diamond designs on the hem of it. He wears a similar kimono that Totosai wears in the feudal era, but it's simple greyish-green. He has a cane in his right hand. "Excuse me, But I'm Kisuke Urahara, the shop owner." Kisuke introduces himself to Kagome. "I know you so many questions you want to ask us about." He adds as he takes a seat in between the two girls.
