Kagome had completed the jewel and returned home, she was tired of Inuyasha and the battle wasn't a total victory for her, she lost Miroku and Shippo. Sango was pretty tore up by Naraku, Kagome knew she wasn't going to make it after she had heard the news of her beloved being dead. Kagome stayed until her sister, her best friend in the world had died, holding her hand. Kagome knew it was going to happen, so she did what any best friend and sister would have done, she buried Sango and Miroku and her son. Kagome stood with Inuyasha and Sesshomaru and Rin, a tear never hit her cheek, Sesshomaru's sword pulsed,

"Do not bring them back Sesshomaru, I will make the wish one day, but today is not the day, I will return, I will mend what is broken, there will come a time when you will need to use it on them, it can only be used once," Kagome strongly.

"Kagome, I don't even know where…" Inuyasha began, but he was cut short,

"You have no right to talk to me," Kagome with a deathly tone in her voice, more deathly than Sesshomaru could ever sound.

"You will have the one thing you desire," Kagome balling he fist up, she sat on the lip of the well,

"I guess I shall never find love," Kagome mumbled.

"Lady Kagome, don't leave me," Rin whined, Kagome turned around, she gave her a small smile,

"Oh Rin, I love you so much, I love you like a daughter, I can only hope to have a daughter like you," Kagome hugging her, Kagome glanced at Sesshomaru,

"Listen, you take care of the big guy for me alright," Kagome tearing up a little,

"Of course mama, I love you," Rin giving her a smile. Kagome slowly kissed her head,

"Be a good girl for your daddy," Kagome glancing at Sesshomaru.

"I will mama, please come back to us," Rin hugging Sesshomaru's leg,

"I will try," Kagome explained.

"Miko," Sesshomaru coldly,

"Yes Lord Sesshomaru," Kagome standing in front of him,

"You have done well in this battle, just don't forget about Rin," Sesshomaru coldly.

"I could never forget about you guys, even you Sesshomaru, you have become sort of a companion, a friend to me despite your cold side, I have to come back, I can not very well stay gone when my job is still not finished, I have to set the wrong right again," Kagome seriously, then she did something unexpected, she stood on her tippy toes and gently kissed Sesshomaru's cheek.

"That was a thank you for helping us defeat Naraku," Kagome turning around, she jumped through the well and disappeared.

"She is gone Lord Sesshomaru," Rin sadly, Sesshomaru stared at the well thinking it was a bit weird, he started walking away, Rin followed him. Inuyasha sat in his tree and took a nap, or at least tried to, his thoughts plagued him,

~What am I supposed to do now, Kagome's gone, Kikyo died again in battle, I have no one left.~ Inuyasha explained. Kagome got back home and sighed, she popped out of the well and stared at the ground. Kagome sat against the wall of the well and out her hands on her forehead.

"I'm sorry you guys, we knew the battle wasn't going to be easy, we knew we had risks," Kagome rubbing the ground, she had buried her friends under the ground there around the well so she could keep them close. Slowly she got up and walked into the house,

~This is my last year of high school and I am going to make it the best.~ Kagome happy that the jewel was all completed but not at the cost of her friends.

"Hi mom, I'm home," Kagome going up to her bathroom and shutting the door. All she wanted to do was relax in a hot bath, soak her aching muscles in the water, she turned the hot water on and let the tub fill up. She started taking her clothes off, she had bruises and cuts all over, she stared at her face,

"Am I a failure, am I the one that caused their deaths," Kagome thinking too much into it.

"I fought as hard as I could, I knew before this fight started that there were risks, I barely got away myself," Kagome holding her head, she was starting to feel sick.

"I am sick, why am I sick, okay Kagome, calm down, you for a fact aren't pregnant, you have never even been with anyone, you are making yourself sick over this, calm down," Kagome trying to take deep breathes. Slowly she lowered herself into the hot water and moaned as she smiled and closed her eyes, she healed herself and enjoyed the rest of her bath. When she finally got out of the tub she went into her room, put on her pajamas and crawled into bed.

"Goodnight my dear friends," Kagome softly as she fell asleep.

Morning Came

Kagome woke up, she felt weird she felt tired. It was going to be good to get some rest, she needed it. Slowly she got out of bed and stumbled a little,

~Oh, I'm dizzy, that can't be right.~ Kagome confused. As she regained her composure she managed to walk down the stairs and find everyone at breakfast.

"Hey guys," Kagome softly,

"Hey hun, its good to have you home, how long are you staying?" her mother getting up and hugging her,

"I'm staying for a while, I finished the jewel," Kagome sitting down at the table. She started filling her plate,

"That's good, so why do you have to go back?" her mother confused.

"I have yet to make a wish on the jewel, it's the only way to get rid of it," Kagome seriously.

"Then you will be done with going through the well right?" Kagome's mom wanting to know when she was going to grow up and actually finish school.

"Yeah, I mean there's no reason for me to stay anymore," Kagome not wanting to think about it.

"Good, you can focus on your schooling and we'll get to have home," her mother excitedly.

"Yeah," Kagome mumbled, she wouldn't want to leave Sango, Miroku, or her adopted son Shippo, after she had just brought them back but she already knew that she didn't belong in the Feudal Era. She thought about little Rin and how upset she would get not to see the woman she had took up calling mama, she didn't want to see Rin cry over her. Kagome just shoved her feelings and thoughts away,

"So sis, you going to school today?" Sota asked,

"I am going to go tomorrow, I want to get some rest," Kagome explained. When she finished her breakfast she took her plate to the sink and went back upstairs, she walked into the bathroom. Slowly she pulled off her clothes and looked in the mirror,

"I look so pale, I am sick, what's wrong with me," Kagome holding her head, she took a breath, suddenly her eyes rolled back in her head and she collapsed in the floor.
