'I can't wait to tell them', Kagome thought as she traveled through the well.

Ya see, it's been three years since the group of demons and humans defeated the dreaded Naraku. They also got all the pieces of the Jewel of four souls back together. After the never-ending battle, Miroku and Sango finally got married, just like Miroku promised. Kagome went home knowing that she could never return. She knew that she was giving up, but to her, her family was more important.

Shippo and Kilala jumped on her, pleading that she didn't go. (Well actually Shippo was pleading, Kilala was just doing a whole lot of meowing and no one could understand, so they just ignored her.) Inuyasha, on the other hand, was no where to be found. Kagome assumed that he was in his favorite tree sulking. She was actually a little hurt that he wouldn't at least see her off, but she hid that emotion and tried to stay positive.

"Well, bye guys, I'll be going now" she said as she put on her gianomous yellow backpack. (Seriously' what's up with that thing? I mean it's like HUGE!!! I don't think that's too healthy for a teenager to carry around, but that's just me.)

"Please Kagome! Don't go! We'll miss you so much!" Shippo cried.

"Yes Kagome, we will indeed miss you and your mother-like wisdom" Miroku stated

"Uhhh, thanks, I think", Kagome said.

"Your most welcome", Miroku replied.

"I agree with Miroku. Even though the way he phrased it was really odd" Sango said looking at Miroku as if he grew three arms out of his head.

Kagome said her goodbye's, much to Shippo's dislike, and hopped in the well and traveled through time.


With Inuyasha:

snores snort "Whoa, did I fall asleep? I guess that fight with Naraku really took a lot out of me." He glided down and ran to the others. When he got there, he didn't even notice Kagome's absence. (Shame shame )

"Hey Inuyasha, where have you been this whole time?" Sango asked.

"I was up in that tree and I guess I fell asleep. I had the weirdest dream ever. I dreamt Kagome left us for good, speaking of that wench, where is she anyway?" Inuyasha asked.

"That dream you had was oh-so real" Miroku explained.

"What?! So you mean Kagome did leave through that well and now she can't come back because she doesn't have the jewel, and we won't ever see her again? She also mated with Koga before she left and took him with her?" Inuyasha shouted with his 'What-the-heck-I-will-for-no-reason-hurt-Shippo-really-badly face on.

"Yes, yes, yes, yes, no, and what kind of dream were you having?" said Miroku trying to answer all the hanyou's questions.

Shippo, sensing that he was in sudden danger, jumped on Sango's shoulders as she spoke," Inuyasha calm down, she didn't marry Koga and she never liked him in that way." "Although she did really like you but you were too stubborn and too worried about Kikyo to notice." Sango mumbled under her breath.

Even through they felt alone they all tried to pull together, help each other out and get on with their lives without the bubbly personality that was Kagome to cheer them on and up.


Back with Kagome:

'I can't wait to tell them', Kagome thought as she traveled through the well.

She finally got out and looked around. "Ahh, to be back again", she said stretching

Kagome was taller, wiser, stronger, and leaner. She couldn't wait to show off her new look. 'Now whose better Inuyasha,' she wished she could say 'me or your old dead flame, Kikyo?' She chuckled to herself. Of course she would never say that to his face. It would hurt him, and she loved him too much to do that to him. She heard noises coming from the forest behind her. She figured it was a demon of some sort.

Kagome turned around and saw…….
