The Journey Home – Chapter Two
Kagome was in university now and was currently in one of the lectures, while her mind was somewhere else.
It had been years since she had last seen Inuyasha. When he didn't turn up on the promised day, she was preparing for a big argument. She was going to pretend to ignore him when he did decide to reappear. But as the days past, she began to get worried.
She tried using the well, hoping that she would be able to pass through to the other side. There was a flash of blue light and then nothing. She looked up. She saw the roof of the well house. She blinked a couple of times to make sure she wasn't dreaming. She was hoping that she was still dreaming, because she could still see the roof. She tried digging at the bottom of the well hoping it was some big mistake. Tears started flowing from her eyes, as the desperation grew.
She called out his name.
No reply came for her.
"Higurashi?"
Kagome wondered who it was.
"Higurashi, the class has finished."
Kagome snapped out of her day dream. She looked to her left and saw Hojo, who had a worried expression on his boyish face.
"Um…it has?" Kagome answered.
Hojo frowned. Ever since she came to school on a regular basis, her mind seemed like it was somewhere else. He was determined to find out, whatever it was. However he was hoping that Higurashi was thinking about him. He started blushing as he turned to look at the young woman, to only find she had disappeared.
Kagome returned to the shrine that was her home. She passed by the ancient tree, sighing softly. She missed him. She had been trying for years to pass through the well. She had even taken up to researching any old scrolls relating to the history of Sengoku jidai. Nothing was found. She hoped she would somehow find her hanyou again. She would hold him and never let go. Then, when she was brave enough, she would tell him that she loved him. She blushed at the thought.
Someone approached behind her and tapped her on the shoulder.
"Inuyasha!?" but it wasn't him. It was Hojo.
Hojo's worries grew once again.
"Higurashi, I think we need to talk."
Until next time...
