Authors Note: (For those of you who have already read the first two chapters) Here is the NEW first chapter!

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha or any of its characters…. (I wish I did though)

:: Kagome POV:

Naraku had ambushed us, and he just made his escape…with all of our jewel shards. To make things worse it was totally my fault. Inuyasha was pissed to say the least, and started to yell at me almost right away.

"You Dumbass!" He looked completely furious. I tried apologizing; however, he cut me off.

"Don't you DARE apologize to me! You just let Naraku, of all people, get away with all of our jewel shard, and you think saying that your sorry is going to help?" At this point I was fighting tears, and I didn't speak. Inuyasha took this as his opportunity to continue.

"You humans are all so pathetic. You can't protect yourself and I'm sick of it. He turned away from me and told me to go back to my own time. I was shocked.

"Inuyasha….please…" I whispered sadly, tears streaming down my face.

"NO, you can't protect yourself and I'm done doing it." He said coldly and started to walk toward the edge of the field. I stood there for a few minutes. Inuyasha turned around.

"You may take Kirara. She can take you to the bone eaters well, I'll tell Sango that she's taking you home" He said before disappearing into the trees.

:: Normal POV:

Kagome picked up her bag and climbed onto Kiraras back, with Inuyasha watching her from the trees. When Kagome got to the bone-eaters well, she said her goodbyes to Kirara. Kagome then jumped down the well, and back into her own time.

:: With Kagome::Normal POV:

When Kagome entered the kitchen, her mother was very surprised. Kagome had told her mother that she would not be back home until Sunday, and it was only Tuesday. Kagome smiled sadly at her mother and sat across from her at the table. She sighed and spoke.

"Can we talk?"

:: Kagome POV:

She smiled at me.
"Of course we can honey." I hesitated and looked down.

"I…want to stay in the Feudal Era…permanently." I didn't want to tell her about the fight with Inuyasha, it wasn't important at the moment. I still didn't look at her. She sighed.

"I will allow it, Kagome" she said quietly. That's when I looked up to face her.

"Really?" I asked her somewhat unsure. She stood up and turned away from me.

"Yes, well it's not up to me dear." She said sadly. I was starting to get really confused now.

"What are you talking about?" She looked at me and sighed again.

"Give me a moment" she said. I nodded at her and she went upstairs. When she came back down, she had a beautiful silver box in her hands. She put it on the table in front of me and sat down once more. It was momentarily silent, until I spoke

"What's going on?" I finally asked. She looked at me.

"I'm not…your…..real mother" She said slowly. I just stared at her. When I didn't speak, she continued softly.

"Your birth parents are actually the Lord and Lady of the Northern lands….back in the Feudal era."

I was silent for a moment, taking it all in.

"How?" I asked her when I trusted my voice not to break.

"Your parents could pass through the well just as you can now. They had come through one day 17 years ago, and asked me to take care of you. After I was done freaking out, I agreed and they told me who you were, where you came from, and why you couldn't stay with them. They also said that when you grew up and I thought that you could handle the truth that they would like you to return to them." I nodded and 'mom' opened the box in front of me. I gasped…inside was an absolutely gorgeous crystal necklace.

"It's beautiful…" I told her in awe. She smiled at me.

"When your parents brought you to me, they had sealed your youkai and….."

"Youkai?" She laughed at this.

"Yes and that I will explain next…..now where was I? Oh! As I was saying before, your parents had brought this necklace with you when they arrived. They said that this necklace was to break the spell that binds your youkai powers when you put it on." I nodded at her, staring at the star curiously.

"Why a star?" 'Mom' smiled at this

"The star is actually the symbol of the north. This necklace will not only break the spell on your youkai, but it will also recognize you as the Lord and Lady's daughter." I slightly nodded my head, and turned to look out the window.

"Well, you've had a long day. Why don't you go upstairs and rest for awhile?"

"…Actually, I would like to leave as soon as possible. If that's alright with you, that is…" 'Mom looked slightly hurt, and I felt terrible, but I really needed to get going. She put on a fake smile and told me it was alright.

"Ok, so why don't you go upstairs and pack?" I nodded and headed upstairs. I grabbed my backpack.

I opened my closet door and grabbed my sleeping bag, 2 changes of clothes and my spare bow and arrows, since my other ones are with Inuyasha… I grabbed my bag and headed down stairs. I went into the kitchen and got a few cups of instant ramen, and a pan. I then went outside where 'mom' was waiting for me with the necklace and a small bag. I walked up to her and she smiled.

"Here is your necklace and some money that your parents left you." I smiled and thanked her.

"Goodbye,'mom'. I'm going to miss you guys….." She hugged me and told me to be careful.

"Be safe honey. We will miss you too, and good luck in the feudal era." I nodded at her.

"Goodbye…" I said just before I jumped down the well.

When I came up on the other side, the first thing I did was seal the well.

I sighed and turned my back on the well, on my old life, and started toward the northern lands.
