a/n: next chapter - enjoy

Disclaimer: I own nothing of inuyasha…only in my dreams.

Soft breeze, morning sunlight, birds chirping, the rustling of trees as they swayed with the wind. Two words, Peaceful and heavenly.

I slowly opened my eyes to see clear blue sky. I was lying on my back, the soft ground underneath me. I lay there taking everything in.

Slowly I sat up, I looked around. Being dead sure had its earthly tones. 'Not only that, but everything looks familiar'

I looked around, noticing that everything looked like the clearing around the well. 'Surely, this can't be the same clearing maybe….' I stared in shock, behind me, there sat the well.

'This can't be! Where are the others? Surely if this is the well then they would be here too.'

I glanced around, hoping to see a glimmer or anything that resembled the others. All I saw were trees, bushes, and more trees. 'What is going on? Is this the afterlife?' I couldn't seem to think straight, panic was trying to settle in.

I closed my eyes and lay back onto the ground. Making sure that my breath were counted and my mind clear. The panic slowly seeped away, leaving me feeling empty.

I opened my eyes and stared at the morning sky. Not thinking of anything, just staring.

'Nothing but the blue open skies'

I sat up; there was no point in staying here, 'Might as well look around'. With that I stood ad started for the path that lead to the village.

Leaving without looking back, Miroku didn't see the tress rustling and a tall female figure step out to watch his retreating figure.

He didn't see the mischievous smile that lay upon her face. "Soon, Miroku, Soon" with that she disappeared, the rustling of leaves following his trail.

-------------------BUM--------------------------

Miroku reached the top of the hill that overlooked the village and looked down. He stared down in shock and dismay.

The place where the lively village once stood lay a ruin of what it once was. 'This can't be' I thought. I quickly rushed down. Looking around, weeds grew from the homes that had fallen in, the houses that were left were left empty and dust with musky smell had settled.

I stared confused and distressed. It looked as if a demon had rampaged through. 'Surely Inuyasha and the others….' I trailed off at that thought. They wouldn't be here; this must be the afterlife of some sort.

I soon reached the edge of the village. The forest lay not too far off. I turned and stared at the ruins. Sorrow pained my heart, to see what used to be home, now nothing but extra dirt to the ground.

"Well, well, well if it isn't little old runaway Miroku"

I turned around. My eyes widened and stared in shock at the figure standing there.

"Kagome?!"
