Kagome paced back and fourth between two ancient trees. And while she paced, she mumbled to herself angrily continuously. And soon, her pace turned into an animal's wild tromping on the forest floor. Her mumbles grew louder and clearer and her hands fidgeted wildly. "I showed him love," she would say, "I gave him my love and he ignored it!" She gave a twirl, her heels shooting out dried leaves behind them like fire, "What does she have that I don't? She practically killed him! How could he still love her like that?" Once more she gave another twirl; shooting more leaves from her heels, "And why can't he love me like he loves her? I am her! So why choose the dead me instead of the alive me? He has no taste!" As she finished the last sentence she stopped her animalistic tromping for a second to spit at the ground with disgust. "That's what I should do to his face," she declared, "hit him right in the eye so hard, it'll leave him blind!"

No longer having control on her anger, she turned and began to kick one of the ancient trees. She kicked so hard at the tree that each time her foot made contact with the tree's body, pieces of bark would shoot out. But the tree got no more than a good couple of kicks when Kagome's foot began to protest in pain. She stopped the kicking and hopped on one leg while she held her other foot close to her chest. "Ow, ow, ow! Damn tree, damn foot, damn my life!" She cursed loudly.

And while she hopped on one leg while complaining of the pain, her hopping leg slowly began to walk. And her hopping led her to a nearby small cliff and the next time her foot hopped in the air, it didn't land back down on the forest floor. With a small shriek, Kagome slid the down the small cliff and rolled and tumbled into the ground. Her rolling and tumbling came to a halt when her head smacked right into a tree. Among its mossy roots her head was buried and unconscious. Moments passed when Kagome shot her head up from the green roots with moss sticking to the side of her cheeks and forehead. She blinked a couple of times and then a large smile drew itself along her face. Sitting on her legs, she tilted her head back and roared a laughter.

"Yes," she screamed into the air, "I will make him miserable just like he made me! Watch out Inuyasha, I am coming for you!" Laughing, she stood and ran to back to Kaede's village.

Running into the village, she made her way to Kaede's hut and burst in. With her unexpected entrance, Shippo screamed frighten as he tumbled onto his back. Not bothering to remove her shoes, Kagome skipped in giggling. And while skipping around her friends, Miroku, Sango, Shippo, and Kaede, she asked them, "Where is Inuyasha?"

"He is with my sister, Kagome." Kaede replied while looking at Kagome with confusion.

This made Kagome stop her skipping and giggling at once, with her face darkening. "Oh, is he?"

"Kagome, are you alright?" Sango asked her. Sango felt the pain Kagome felt when Inuyasha betrayed her and now her strange way of acting was making Sango feel uneasy.

"Very alright," Kagome replied and spun to Sango while raising her right hand, "I'm feeling very alright just like my right hand!"

Sango stared at Kagome for a few seconds and asked her again, "Are you sure?"

Kagome snapped her hand down and smiled at Sango, "Very sure. Now if you'll excuse me, I've gotta go find Inuyasha!"

And before one of her friends could stop her, Kagome skipped out of the hut. But she didn't have to skip too far when she came into contact with Inuyasha and Kikyo. Once more Kagome's skipping was stopped at once and her face darkened as she glared at Inuyasha and Kikyo.

Much closer now, Inuyasha was curious to know why Kagome smelled like moss and her own blood. "Hey Kagome, what happened to your head?"

Kagome tilted her head and knocked a couple of times on the right of her forehead with her knuckles. Goodness did it hurt, but Kagome didn't even flinch of pain or even felt the pain. "It got banged by a couple of trees, Inuyasha."

"Oh," Inuyasha replied quietly, not quite understanding. "Are you alright?"

"Does it look like I'm alright? I mean, I guess I must look like it, right? Yes, I'm very much alright just like my right hand." Kagome said showing her right hand once more.

At this, Kikyo started to feel a bit uneasy by Kagome's actions. Kagome would never use such a harsh tone with Inuyasha, let alone even talk so meanly to him while Kikyo stood beside him. "Kagome, let me check your head just to make sure you are alright," Kikyo offered.

But Kagome turned her head to Kikyo slowly. So slowly in fact, that if necks could creak her neck would have sounded like a creaky old door when it was being opened. Once fully facing Kikyo, Kagome hissed at her, "Stay away from me and don't you touch me with your dead and grubby hands!"

Kikyo gasped and backed away from her. Indeed something was very wrong with her. Kikyo knew Kagome didn't like her but even so, Kagome would never say such a thing to her! Not only did Kikyo gasp, but Inuyasha and Miroku and Sango and Kaede all followed suit.

"Geeze Kagome, what's your problem?" Inuyasha asked her while setting his hand on his sword.

Upon seeing this, Kagome twirled around and bit on her finger hard as she thought. There was no way in hell Kagome could make Inuyasha miserable, at least not alone. And none of her friends wouldn't even support and join in her fun to make him miserable. And if she did this alone, sooner or later Inuyasha would hack her head off with his sword because he made it clear that he chose to protect Kikyo, not her. Biting down even harder on her finger, she thought of who could help her. Kouga came to mind, but she would constantly be pestered by him. Naraku came second, but he was dead already! Shippo came third, but he was just a child still! And finally that perfect person came into her mind. Once more smiling widely, she released her finger and spun back to Inuyasha, who now stood with her backpack in hand.

"Kagome, you know I don't want you to leave. But, Naraku is dead and the jewel is safe with Kikyo. Not to mention you don't belong in this time. So...I think it's best if you just left home, Kagome, and never return."

Inuyasha's speech brought tears to Shippo's eyes and a loud gasp from Sango. "Inuyasha, she is our friend! She can't just leave like this! First you break her heart and now you're forcing her home to never return? You're destroying her!" Sango yelled at Inuyasha.

Inuyasha yelled back at Sango, "She doesn't belong here in this time! It's only natural that she returns to her real time and never comes back!"

Sango was about to protest again when Miroku stopped her. He gave some sense to her and finally agreeing, Sango gave a hard hug to Kagome. Crying, Sango told Kagome, "You were a good friend Kagome, almost like a sister to me. I promise I will never forget you, even till the day I die."

Kagome peeled Sango off her and turning, she snatched her bag away from Inuyasha's hand. Slinging the bag over her back, she pointed her finger into Inuyasha's face and said with no emotion, "Goodbye Inuyasha, but be warned that you haven't seen the last of me."

And skipping around him, Kagome hummed and sang while she skipped to the well. "Goodbye Miroku," Kagome said as she danced a twirl, "Goodbye Shippo and Kilala," and with one more twirl and a wave of her hand she sang, "Goodbye Saaaaango, my dearest sister!" And she continued skipping to the well while half humming and half laughing.
