Disclaimer will only be said once. I do not own Inuyasha they belong to Rumiko Takahashi I can only own what I buy like the movies and calendar and beanie. Please be nice and review as this is my first fic. Constructive criticism is most welcome; any flames well just send them I can choose to ignore them.

On with the show.

Chapter 1. Only The Beginning

It wasn't the fact that time seems to pass by even after Naraku's defeat three years back and yet it seems that everyone moves on, at their own pace. Sango and Miroku had finally gotten married and had their first child and trying for a second one. Shippo decided to find a kitsune clan and train with them. Inuyasha well let's just say that certain things were said and were no longer speaking to each other. I left the village six months back with no word to Kaede, for all they know I've vanished out of sight. The well closed once the Shikon no Tama was wished on and thanks Kamis that they gave me a chance to choose where I could stay. You're probably thinking why I stayed well I no longer fitted in the modern world everything just seem to normal even when I visited mother never would she look at me as her daughter.

"Hey Kagome I'm sorry to bother you at this late hour but could you look at my leg please, it's been hurting for a while now" Koji said as he hobbled to the mat next to the doorway. "What did you do to it headmaster last time was a pulled muscle and it's not your old age that's acting up" Kagome said while slowly prodding Koji's leg. Kagome's head scrunched up and looked at Koji with serious eyes. "Headmaster your leg is swollen and well I'm sorry to say that you have fractured your leg somehow and it's something I can fix since it feels like its years old" Kagome told Koji. "Well that's alright as long as I can hobble I'll be fine things happen somehow so it's fine you can't fix everything." Koji said as he hobbled out the hut and to check on the other villagers. Kagome let tears well up before wiping them away and went to fixing more herbs.

Your probably wondering where I am, well to be honest I'm in a village that is well hidden away from the majority of the west. I work here as a village priestess and in return they let me stay even though I'm running away from the life I had somewhere else. If only Inuyasha would have understood how I was truly feeling then things wouldn't have turned this way.

***Flashback****

"Please Inuyasha just destroy the well and I'll explain to you why I decided to stay" Kagome said to Inuyasha as he huffed and muttered under his breath about not understanding women. Inuyasha unsheathed Tetsusaiga and sent a windscar heading the wells direction while Kagome kept her tears at bay. Inuyasha faces Kagome "Tell me wench why in seven hells did you ask me to destroy your only way home". "I asked you too because I no longer fit in there either and it wouldn't make sense to try anymore" Kagome said low enough for Inuyasha to hear. "Are you fucking serious wench because you also don't belong here at all and yet…what the hell Kagome seriously" "Inuyasha I don't expect you to understand just please don't bring it up" Kagome yelled back.

Inuyasha turns his back and starts walking "Don't ever expect to belong here Kagome so do us a favor and die already". Those were the final words he ever said and Kagome took them to heart, though inside she felt so bitter at how things were left. Kagome learned as much as she could and as fast as she could, then in the middle of the night she took what little belongings she had and walked away from what should have been her home. But with Inuyasha's words that village never became home in her heart but a place of pain.

***Flashback Ends****

That is all now but a distant memory in my head and in the air, but all this time it still pains me that I have run so far and yet now I find peace. From time to time I always wonder how Kaede is doing but I know in my heart I shall never go and find out. Demons have been hardly near this village since I came and that is for the best. I mostly keep to myself here and none of the villager's mind they seem to understand I prefer the solitude and only help out when I'm wanted.

I still can't help but wonder if I should send word out to Shippo hmmm maybe I should and will.

Dear Shippo,

It's been a couple of years though not many but well as you need to know I'm in a different village known by the name of Kaiza more close to the Western palace but still days away of walking distance. The reason why I'm here is that Inuyasha and I had a few choice words and I left a couple of months after. Don't go and bother him just come to me to know more that is if you want to my hut is the farthest away from the whole village I promise I shall explain everything. I hope that you're not mad at me if you're at Kaedes, if you are please tell her I'm fine but nothing else and nothing to anyone else either.

Your mother dearest,

Kagome

"Haku!" Kagome yells as she steps out of her hut and walks a short distance. "Yes, Lady Kagome what is it that you may need" Haku looks at Kagome with a warm smile. "I need you to deliver this to the Kitsune clan in the west and say it's for Shippo" "Will do Lady I bid you good day". Haku takes the scroll and walks away to get his horse and go.

I hope he makes it safe and sound and returns back the same he's a very good man and does not need to die just to deliver a scroll for me. Haku returned the next week with word that Shippo was going to come and visit and everything blacked out then.

*Wipes head* First chapter done tell me what you think and I shall give you a cookie.
