It was a bright sunny day in the Feudal era of Japan, Shippo and Kirara were sitting a top of the bone eaters well. The two had been waiting for Kagome's return. Kagome had been to her own time for a couple of days and Shippo was getting rather impatient.
"Don't worry guys; I'll be back before you know it!" Shippo remembered Kagome saying before she jumped back into the well with a playful wink.
She said that she would be back in three days and it's been three days. What's taking her so long? I hope she's all right over there… Shippo thought. I wish I could easily go to her world the way InuYasha can, he sighed.
"What's the matter Shippo?" a familiar male voice asked from behind.
Shippo turned to see it was Miroku the monk and Sango the demon slayer approaching him and Kirara. Sango didn't have to say a word, she could tell that Shippo was waiting for Kagome's return.
"Don't worry Shippo," the demon slayer began, "Kagome will be coming back shortly, I'm sure she's just running a little late."
"If that's the case she's taking her sweet time," said a voice from above in the trees.
It was InuYasha, the half demon who had been resting his head on the branch of the sacred tree where he was pinned fifty years ago. InuYasha was also waiting for Kagome's return and he too was also getting rather impatient. He jumped off from the tree, landed on his feet and began to rotate his arms.
"We've got to hurry up with our search with Naraku," InuYasha began, "we almost got a hold of him last time."
Sango grimaced at InuYasha, "you can't blame Kagome, InuYasha; she's got other errands to do in her time period as well."
"Huh," InuYasha began, folding his arms, "as if her tests were more important than hunting down Naraku and restore the jewel to its full whole…"
Sango just then shook her head and sighed at InuYasha in unison with Miroku's defeated sigh. InuYasha can really be inconsiderate about Kagome's own burdens in her own world.
Suddenly as if on cue, a glow appeared in the well, startling Shippo that caused him to fall off the edge of well. Soon, a hand a raised from the well followed by a second hand soon after; it was Kagome! She had climbed out of the well and that everyone was staring at her.
"Hey guys…" Kagome began, pulling a large yellow backpack from the well. "… What are you all looking at?" Kagome asked as she dropped the yellow backpack on the grass with a loud thud.
"Kagome!" Shippo exclaimed giving her a hug, she embraced him in return.
"Took you long enough?" InuYasha said sarcastically, arms folded. "I was just about ready to go get you."
Kagome sighed, rolling her eyes, "you don't always have to go get me you know. I was busy; I have another life in the other world too you know."
InuYasha just shot his nose up in the air. "Hmph, whatever…"
Kagome wanted to make a comment to InuYasha but then decided to keep it quietly to herself.
"Well," Miroku began to ease the hostility, "now that Kagome is here with us now, we can get under way on our search for Naraku?"
InuYasha simply replied with a nod, "Let's go."
