"I don't know why you have to go back. It's just a waste of time." Inuyasha growled.
Kagome rolled her eyes "Oh relax it'll just be a few hours, a day at most. You are completely out of ramen and I'm tired of hearing you complain." Plus, she really wanted to take a bath, not that she was going to tell him that. When she saw that he was still going to argue with her she let out a sigh "I'm going no matter what Yasha. The longer you keep me here the longer it'll take me to get back. Please don't make me S-I-T you."
He let out a huff "Fine, but if you're not back in a day I'm coming to get you, ya hear?"
Kagome waved her hand at him "Yeah, yeah, I hear you. See you tomorrow." Then she took off towards the well before he changed his mind.
As she was heading towards the well she let her mind wander. Four years. She has been at this now for four years. She understood why Inuyasha didn't want her to go back home. Her twentieth birthday was half a year away. Her five-year time limit was almost up. The limit that was keeping her looking like a fifteen-year-old. They noticed that she hadn't been aging after her second year. They look time from their hunt for Naraku and threw themselves into researching why. They hadn't been able to find much until Midoriko had come to Kagome in her dreams. The answer wasn't pretty. Midoriko had put a curse on the Shikon, wanting the cycle of torment to end. If Kagome didn't make the Shikon whole by the time of her twentieth birthday she was doomed to be immoral for the rest of her life, which would be forever. As it was now she had temporary immortality. She found that out when Naraku got in a lucky shot and impaled her with one of his tentacles. It by all means she should have died. Unfortunately, with that experience Naraku also found out about her curse. He found many opportunities after that to exploit because of that. After a while he went into hiding, content to let the curse run its course. Six months, she only had six months left until permanent immortality. Yes, time was of the essence. Now a day the only times she came home was for birthdays, holidays, and to restock their supplies.
She winced slightly as she remembered the last time she came home. That hadn't been a pretty sight. She had got extremely hurt by a horde of demons. She had lacerations, gashes, bite marks, demons, and more. It had also been the time they were out of medical supplies. They had actually been on the way home to get more supplies when Naraku sent the horde after them. While she may not be able to die, she could still get sick and suffer through infections. Plus, while she heals a good deal faster it still takes a few days for her to heal good enough to move around safely. So, she had to go home in her sorry state and face her mom. To put it lightly her mom freaked out. Yeah she had come home with some cuts and bruises, but usually she waited until they were almost healed. Her Miko-ki let her heal faster than a normal human so she never had to wait too long. Her mom had never really seen the after-battle damage.
Well to be honest restocking and a bath weren't her only reasons to go home. Uncle Phil was supposed to be visiting and she hadn't gotten to see him a couple years. Hopefully he wouldn't notice that she hadn't aged a day since the Shikon had gotten ripped from her.
Kagome smiled as she reached the well; it would be good to go home. She missed her little brother. Without a moment's hesitation, she threw herself into the well. Just before she hit the bottom her world lit up with a blue glow. The warm magic of the well surrounded her, welcoming her into its grasp. The trip through time lasted merely seconds. With a bright flash of blue she was back in her original time. She adjusted her backpack slightly and started climbing the ladder. As she reached the top she sensed something was wrong. With caution the finished climbing out of the well. She looked around, there wasn't a single person in the well house with her. That must mean they are outside. Kagome set her backpack on the well house floor and got into the mindset she might have to fight someone. If someone was coming after her, she was going to fight back. She had enough training to hold her own against regular humans.
She exited the well house, acting like nothing was wrong. Then someone grabbed her from behind. Her training from Sango and Sesshomaru kicked in and she kicked out the knee of the person holding her. She heard a crack and a scream and then she was free. What she didn't expect was someone waiting on the roof of the well house. She felt a sharp pain on her neck and her hand flew to that spot. She pulled out the tiny dart and swore as she could already feel herself being pulled under. The last thing she saw before her world went dark was her Uncle Phil stepping out from behind the well house.
