Everyone, thank you for so many wonderful
reviews. It made me so happy to know that so many people love
this story, it is very motivating for me to write tons more. I do
apologize in advance, this chapter is a bit short, it is different when
I write it out on paper. It came out to 3 pages long. But
there is still lots more to come. This morning I got online to a
full mailbox, it was great.

I hope you enjoy

Chapter 3
Kagome and her family were outside in the yard. Sota had all his friends from school over for his birthday party and they were outside playing games. Kagome and her mom were busy setting up food on a picnic table. Kagome was smiling to herself and humming softly. Her mom looked at her and smiled, Kagome was thinking about Inuyasha. Nadoka wasn't stupid, she knew her daughter was in love with the half demon, she had been for a long time but it looked like Inuyasha was finally returning her love. She was happy for Kagome. She looked over at Sota and his friends across the yard watching them chase each other around the yard.
CRASH
Nadoka's heart jumped in her chest. She spun around to face Kagome. The first thing she saw was Kagome's eyes wide open in shock, and then she noticed the broken bowl on the ground. Kagome's eyes were unfocused and she didn't seem to see anything, then she started shaking and tears slowly rolled down her cheeks. Nadoka started to run toward Kagome. After just a few steps she stopped so suddenly she nearly fell over. A bright pink glow suddenly appeared on Kagome's neck.
"Kagome!" someone shouted. Nadoka turned and saw Sota running across the yard toward Kagome. She ran to stop him, her instinct was screaming at her to not touch Kagome. She caught him about five feet away from Kagome who was still standing like a statue. As they looked at her again the glow started moving. It moved up slightly and became brighter. It was then that Nadoka realized the glow was from the incomplete Sacred Jewel Kagome always wore on a chain around her neck. Nadoka and Sota watched as the Jewel floated up into the air and strained against the chain. The delicate chain snapped and the jewel flew into the air and stopped a few feet from Kagome. The feeling of the snapping chain brought Kagome back to reality, she blinked and gasped as she saw the jewel floating in the air in front of her. As they watched the broken jewel glowed brighter then slowly vanished. Kagome stood frozen staring at where the jewel had just been.
"Inuyasha", she whispered softly, then screamed the name again. She turned around and started running toward the well as fast as she could. When she got to the shed the well was hidden in she slammed opened the door and jumped off the stairs. She stepped on the lip of the well and jumped in without a moments hesitation. The breath was knocked out of her as she hit the ground hard. She slowly sat up and felt a sharp pain in her knee. She collapsed to the ground and stayed there.
"Inuyasha…no" she whispered just before violent sobs overcame her. She saw it, saw the arrow Kikyo shot, she felt the pain of the arrow in her heart. She had seen him vanish. She had seen everything.
