The Return


Disclaimer: I DO NOT own Inuyasha or any of the characters


Mean while, back at the bone eaters well. Kagome was climbing out of the well. It took her about 2 minutes to climb up the wall because she hadn't done it in so long. When she finally jumped down from the edge she paused to look around in awe. The trees were bigger and the grass should have been over grown but it wasn't. "How queer." Wow… time has passed so fast. I never thought I would be able to come back again. Snapping out of her trance she took in a fresh breath of air. Oh how I miss this.

After breathing out she took off in the direction of the village hoping it was still there. Oh Kami! I can't wait to see Kaede, Sango, Miroku, and all the children. I hope everyone is ok. Coming up to the village Kagome gasped. Oh my, it looks just the same as it did those many years ago. As she walked into the village the villagers stopped and stared. How rude! I can't believe they don't recognize me! She sighed. Well I don't suppose they would. It has been 25 years.

"Kagome? Kagome is that you?"

Kagome look up. Her face suddenly lit up like she had seen snow for the first time. "Sango! Oh Kami! Is that you Sango?"

"Yes it is. Kagome where have you been this whole time?" Sango asked as she took Kagome into a tight embrace.

"I've been back home. The well wouldn't let me through. I tried everyday since the day I went back until it finally let me through today. Oh am I so glad to see you. I missed you so much."

"Kagome?" Kagome turned around. "Miroku?"

"So you have returned. Please stop standing around in the cold, come inside and tell us about you story." Sango and Kagome followed Miroku inside the little hut.

As they passed one of the rooms Kagome saw a sleeping form. "I assume that you have children." Sango answered, "Yes we have 3. Two are out on there own starting their own family, while our little girl is sleeping in the next room."

Kagome looked saddened for a moment but quickly cheered up. I hope Sango didn't see my face right then. "Kagome, you never married and had children?" Kagome look away saddened once more. "No I didn't. I waited this whole time for the well to open."

"What if it never had? Would you die old and alone?" Sango said handing Kagome some left overs. "I really don't know. I was so focused on returning I never thought about it."

Kagome sighed. "Kagome you look tired. Rest here tonight please."

"Oh thank you Sango." Sango found and extra futon for Kagome and helped her lay it out. "Goodnight Kagome."

"Night Sango and Miroku," Kagome said with a yawn. As she laid her head down though, she couldn't fall asleep. Her mind kept wondering. Inuyasha, I wonder where you are. No doubt you have moved on these past long years. She sighed.

Kagome lifted the cover up and crawled out of the futon. As quietly as possible she crept through the door. Shutting it she turned and walked out into the brisk night air. Pulling her jacket closer around her small body she walked on. She had no ideas where she was going until she collided with a tree. This is it. This is the tree Inuyasha and I sat in so many times before. She sighed again. Inuyasha…where are you?

"Oi. If you stand out here any longer you'll freeze to death."

Kagome closed her eyes really tight and turned to face this familiar voice. She opened them. He found me.

"So, you've returned."


Yes I know its short, but i cant help it. It comes and goes.
