Prologue

Kagome sobbed deeply at the bottom of the well. "So that's it then?!" She screamed hysterically. "That's how it ends?!" She digs her fingers into the dirt and screams, unleashing all her pent up anguish in a burst of bright white light. Anyone standing nearby would have felt the sadness radiating from the well house with that blast of power. Naraku had died, finally. They had won the war, but too many casualties had made it feel like a loss. Naraku had hit them hard. Sango, Miroku, and Shippo had all died. The only ones remaining were Sesshomaru, Inuyasha, Koga, and Rin. And obviously herself. Kagome sobbed harder, thinking, if it weren't for her, maybe they would still be alive. If she had never fell down the stupid well, never brought the Jewel back, there wouldn't have been such strife.

It was all her fault…Kagome looked up to the roof of the well house, tears streaming down her blood stained cheeks. Her injuries were not as grave as they seemed. She would live. But she wished she hadn't.

Flashback

When Naraku died, the Jewel flew from his body, and straight into hers. It purified instantly, but it also was absorbed into her body. That meant there could be no wish made. Inuyasha didn't like that. He flew into a rage, swinging tetsusaiga at her and unleashing adamant barrage. Kagome didn't even bother trying to defend herself; the shock that her best friend, the one whom she had stuck with till the bitter end, was attacking her. Sesshomaru had stepped in, and, quick as lightning, carried her to the well.

"Miko you must leave now." He addressed her coldly. Kagome looked up at him, her eyes hollow and broken.

"Yes sensei." She addressed him cordially, in as cold of a tone as he gave her. He had begun to train her in swordplay. In return, she taught Rin how to be a proper lady and educated her. Kagome became a mother to her, and Shippo. She was proficient with a sword, but her strong suit was still her bow.

His eyes softened. "Miko, this Sesshomaru shall find you in your time." And with that promise, he tossed her into the well just as Inuyasha burst into the clearing. She heard snarling and the clash of steel. Then she felt the magic of the well, green-blue energy engulfed her body, comforting her. She knew what she had to do. While she was still being transported to her time, she mumbled a spell of sealing. The last thing she needed was Inuyasha coming through to find her.

End flashback

Kagome struggled to stand. She had to stop the bleeding, before she passed out. She looked up to the ladder and grimaced at the painful climb ahead of her. She climbed out of the well, slowly, but surely. Her yellow backpack remained on her back through the battle. It had even saved her life at one point when it blocked an attack aimed at her back. It was torn and tattered, but it had been with her through it all. She dragged herself into the house and plopped her bag down on the floor near the front door. "Mama!" Kagome called.

No one answered her. She called for her brother and Grandfather, but still no answer. The fridge held an unfamiliar yellow sticky note. Kagome padded her way over to it and struggled to read it. 'Kagome,' it was her mother's handwriting 'Took Grandpa to the Hospital. He is fine, but he fell down the stairs. I wanted to make sure nothing was broken.' Kagome sighed; looks like she would have to fix up her own hurts. She hobbled over to the hall closet and grabbed all the cloths and towels she could hold. She threw it all down into the bathroom and opened the cabinet in her room. She had invested in several first aid kits. She grabbed two, uncertain of how many bandages she would need. From the feel of the slice on her side, she would need stitches. She turned on the water and stripped out of her clothes. Her ruined jeans, which she had started wearing once she decided to go through training, and a ruined tank top that was barely still held together. She threw her blood soaked clothes on one of the towels. She would have a lot of cleaning to do before mama came back. She lowered herself into the tube and rinsed off all the blood.

She took a cloth and turned the water back on. She cleaned her wounds and most would be ok with just bandages. The one on her side definitely needed stitches. Someone else would have to do that for her. Kagome began to think of all the times she had stitched up Miroku and Sango. No! She couldn't think about that right now. She had to take care of her own injuries. Then, only then could she let herself fall into the incoming depression. She sat on the ledge and looked down at the murky water, a combination of her blood, demon blood, and mud. She mindlessly grabbed the first aid kit and grabbed the bandages. She wrapped one around her arm, two others around both of her legs. She wrapped the largest one she could find around her side, deciding to wait until morning to see if her mother could take care of it. She wrapped more bandages around her torso, feeling that the slices on her back were still oozing blood.

Kagome let all the water out of the tub, and grabbed one more cloth and scrubbed her face, ignoring the little cuts. Those would be healed by tomorrow morning. She looked at the mess she had made and her eyes grew heavy. Cleaning be damned. She had just saved the world; she could sleep for a while. She padded over to her room and fell onto her bed not even bothering to cover herself with a blanket. As she fell into blessed oblivion, she vaguely heard the door open. The last thing she heard was her mother screaming her name.
