Kagome sighed as she continued to move the broom in her hands, looking down at the ground in front of her. Five years, that's how long it had been since the well had thrown her back here, five years since she had made The Wish on the Shikon no Tama, five years since she had last seen ANY of her friends…She had completed Middle School and then moved on to High School, finishing that with straight A's and quite a bit of after school activities, which she had used as a means to escape her depression. It had worked for a time, but then one day she had lost it, swear to her family up and down at that she had seen HERSELF at one of the debate teams contests.
Kagome remembered well what had happened afterwards, her family hadn't believed her, and she'd had a mental breakdown, her mind betraying her. Lifting the hem of her miko sleeves, she stared at the scars on her wrists, two on each, straight from her wrist to her elbow. Her mother had found her almost immediately afterwards and had rushed her to the hospital, thankfully it had been winter break, so she was able to take a 'holiday' as her mother called it now. Kagome had been forced into the mental ward of the hospital after trying to kill herself, the doctors had been worried for her mental state, but she had been able to talk to one of the doctors, who was, she now knew, a demon in disguise. It had been what she had needed, someone who she could TALK to about everything that had happened to her in the Sengoku Jidai, and how exactly she was adjusting to being forced to stay here in the present.
Kagome had talked with this doctor for days while in the mental ward, and had realized that she was actually not very happy here, even though she was with her family, the place she had always thought of home was no longer that, it was now a prison to her, a prison with beautiful trappings, but a prison none the less. After she had realized this, the doctor had made a point of revealing herself as a demon to Kagome, and had let Kagome know that there were other demons in this world, hiding.
This had lifted Kagome's spirits, she never asked about her companions though, not sure if they had survived, and if they hadn't she didn't want to know. A sound pulled Kagome back to the present, and she turned in confusion to look at the well house, the place she had been avoiding for the last two years after the accident. The noise came again, a knocking from inside the well house, and she stared openly at it, her heart hammering in her chest as she walked towards it, an invisible string pulling her towards it until she stood on the other side. Her hand reached up towards the frame, fingers just inches from the wood, before it slammed open, a pair of glowing red eyes staring at her as something grabbed her wrist and yanked her inside, slamming the door and plunging them into darkness, before Kagome was yanked down into the well, the familiar pull of time travel pushed at her as she was then surrounded by a pink cloud, stars twinkling, and voices, voice she loved and recognized, filling her mind.
Finally she was deposited at the base of the well, hands trembling in the dirt floor as she gasped, trying to gain her senses, which had been scrambled by the trip. Finally she looked up, eyes widening in shock as she saw three pairs of golden eyes staring at her, two she recognized, but the third...the third was impossible!
"Inu no Taisho….?"
