The shocking blue light shone and engulfed her before gently setting her down on the well floor in her own time. Kagome sat there for several minuetes before she gained the strength to plaster a perfect fake smile across her face. She was still upset and angry at the fact that Inuyasha still sees her as another little part of Kikyo, a part that she thought he didn't love. Kagome shook her head as if to shake away everything that had happend that day before she began to make her way out of the well. The rope that her grandfather kindly attached to the lip of the well was burning into her delicate hands. But she didn't care, all she wanted at that moment was to go upstairs, prehaps take a bath then sleep in a real bed for once, instead of her old sleeping bag. But she was definatly going to miss sleeping out under the stars in a beautiful forest, with her bestfriends all looking out for one another. When Kagome reached the top of the well, she threw her harf empty backpack to the dusty, hard floor. She then swund her feet round so they joined it, she picked it up and walked steadily to the well shrine door. She was soon stopped by the sound of rain crashing to the allready soaked concrete outside. As the wooden roof and walls creaked with the rising force of the howling wind, a small drop of water from a crack in the ceiling, landed on her shoulder. Kagome placed her bag over her arm then threw open the doors and ran at full speed towards her home but slowed down considerably when she began to pass the sacred tree. As she was about to turn a small corner she took one last galnce at it and began to cry. This made her thankful for the rain...that way her mother wouldn't notice her tears. And seeing her mother upset for her would only make Kagome cry even more. She enterd the house and closed the door behind her before shouting

"I'm back!" Into the hallway.

"Welcome home dear." Smiled from her place in the kitchen. She picked up a tea towel so dry her hands that were wet of cleaning the dishes, and hugged her daughter. "Oh my, your soaked through. How about you go get cleaned up and I run you a nice bath?" She asked whilst putting the newly washed dishes on the draining board.

"Yes please mama."

Her mother nodded whilst Kagome turned towards the stairs. Slowly making her way up them, she was careful of Buyo who was sleeping at the top. When she reached her bedroom the first thing she did was collapse on top of her dry bed. Just as she was beginning to drift off there came a knock on the door followed by her mothers voice telling her that her bath was ready.

"Okay, thank you." Came her reply as Kagome opend the door to speak with her mohter. "Oh by the way mama, where are Gramps and Sota? I havn't seen them around the house yet."

"Well..." Began tapping her chin with her index finger. "Gramps is heading over to a shrine festival on the other side of town and Sota is staying at his friends for the weekend,you know Yoto? He's such a well mannord young man. Well anyway enjoy your bath dear." She then smiled at her daughter before heading back down stairs, almost stepping on the lazy cat as she went. After Kagome grabbed a fresh towel out of the laundry basket, situated on the landing, she headed towards the bathroom. When she got there she tied her hair up into a high bun, shead her wet clothes and left them near the mat next to the bathroom door. She let out a sigh as the warm water soothed her aching muscles. The water made her think about the times her, Sango and Shippou all shared a hot spring. She was definatly never going to forget about any of her friends from the fudal era in a hurry, she actually duobted that she ever would. Also Kagome felt really down about not saying a propper goodbye. That reminded her that she didn't say a real goodbye at all because,

"Aw man..." She moaned " I gotta go back to return the Jewel Shard."

"Maybe I can just leave it at the top of the well...but that way anyone can get there hands on it including Naraku. I could leave it in Keadas' hut...no, then some demons might attack the villiage if Inuyasha,Sango,Miroku,Shippou and Kirara aren't around to protect the shard and the villiage. Hey if I wait long enough and don't go through the well to take it back, Inuyasha will have to come get it and maybe I could pretend to be out and that way I wont have to talk to him. but what if he's thinking the same thing?...I should just give it to Kikyo. She's going to join up with Inuyasha soon now that I'm leaving anyway. what if i give her it and she gives it to Naraku like she did before? Kami, I am such a whimp..." She thought like that until her bath got cold. And continued to like as such whilst getting ready for a good nights rest.

"I'll go back in a couple of days and spend as little time there as possible." Kagome mumbled to herself, looking at the Jewel Shard she kept on her desk. She then drifted off to sleep while a silent tear fell onto her pillow as she dreamt of spending time with her bestfriends from 500 years ago.

***THE NEXT MORNING IN THE FUDAL ERA***

"INUYASHAA!" Screamed Sango at the top of her lungs. "INUYASHA I SWEAR TO KAMI, GET HERE NOW!"

"Sango...whats wrong?" Miroku asked, shuffling toward her, afriad of what his dear Sango might do to the poor hanyou.

Sango took a deep breath to calm herself and said threw gritted teeth handing a piece of parchment to Miroku. "Look at this letter from Kagome.I found it this morning."

They sat in silence for sevral minuetes as Shippou and Miroku read through the note left by Kagome. As soon as he has read it, Shippou was crying his heart out next to Kirara, telling her what Kagome had wrote about her and the others. Miroku stood, cracked his knuckles and picked up with staff. He then nodded at Sango who emidiatly started screaming for Inuyasha again. After afew moment a certian hanyou with a headache pushed the thin door cover aside and enterd Keadas hut.

"Hey will you please just...SHUT THE HELL UP! YOU DO REALISE I'VE GOT SENSTIUVE HEARING AND SCREAMING ISNT GOING TO DO ME ANY GO--"

*WHACK...WHACK...WHACK...WHACK...WHACK*

Miroku had done the honour of shutting Inuyasha up by hitting him across the head several times with his staff. He raised it up over his head again but Inuyasha grabbed it and threw it across the room and away from the pissed of monk.

"What the HELL was that for monk!?"

Instead of getting his answer he recived another lump on his head of Sangos' Hirakostu.

"What do you mean 'WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR' ?" Yelled Sango a little less louder than before, but still enough to hurt Inuyashas ears. He was about to say something but was stopped by a ball of paper htting him in the face, curtiosy of a still wailing Shippou.

"Read it." Demanded the three of them all at once.

Inuyasha gave them all a cautius look before un-raveling the scrunched-up piece of paper, that layed on the floor in front of him.

***THE NOTE (again)***

Dear everyone,I've decided to go home. I dont know if i ever want to come back here, so just incase I dont I wanted to let you now how much I'll miss you all.

Sango, you've been like a sister to me and I apologize for not being able to say goodbye in person. I dont think I could have handled it. Im gonna miss our talks and heart to hearts. We understand each others thoughts just by looking at each other and I think i'll miss that the most.

Miroku, you've allways got everyones backs on and off the battlefield. Even if sometimes you do act a little perverted at times you are a great person and an important friend to me.

Shippou, you're the most amazing and brave kitzune I have ever had the fortune to know. You give everything you've got to protect us and make sure that were all okay. You're like a son to me and I dont know what I'd do if you were ever hurt. But I know you'll be taken care of.

Kirara, I know you cant read but I couldn't leave without saying what a wonderfull, strong friend you are. If it wasnt for you we all might never have survived many battles. Im going to miss the way you wake me up in the morning when I over sleep...by patting my cheek with one of your light, soft paws then meowing a hello to me when I open my eyes.

Inuyasha, Im sorry I didn't tell you I was going I know it annoys you when I do that but I just needed to slip away with no distractions. Your one of my best friends and I dont know what my life would have turned out like if I hadn't met you. You've risked your life everyone of us many times so, thank you. Even if you are sometimes stuborn and we fight alot, you mean loads to me even if I don't mean anything to you. Now that I might not come back, this gives you the chance to invite KIkyo to travel with you. Im sorry but I wont give her the rest of my soul, I've gave up enough for her.

Keada, It's unbelievable how much of a help you've been to all of us and I don't think I ever got the chance to thank you propperly. So I thank you with all my heart. You've taught me loads of things about herbs that I would never have known before I met you. You care for everyone and everything and that's one of the things im going to miss most about you.

I'll probably come back once more to return the Jewel Shard I keep at home, So I could see you again soon. If you see Kouga,Hakaku,Ginta,Jnengi or Rin then please tell them I said goodbye If I dont get the chance myslef.

All my love, Kagome.

***END OF NOTE***

After afew more moments passed, Inuyasha slowly lifted his head from the letter with his ears pressed lightly against the top of his head.

"How could she think...I don't...Why did she do that?" He stutterd, trying his hardest to make sence of what he's just read.

"Isn't it obvious?" Mutterd Miroku just loud enough for everyone in the room to hear him.

"Yeah Inuyasha, your such a baka! How could you make her feel like that!?" Screamed Shippou as loud as his little lungs would let him. Sango didn't scream at Inuyasha like she previously had done, because now she was so upset that she could barely talk. The scent of her tears forced Inuyasha to look over to her on the other side of Keadas hut. She was sat with her back and head leaning against the wall and she was staring up at the ceiling with tears running down her face and landing on her knees that were tucked up close to her. He couldn't stand to see the pain Sango was in and turned to look at Miroku who was no better. He was sat crossed leggedwith his elbows resting on his knees. He had his head in his hands and was staring down at the floor. Even though Inuyasha couldn't see Mirokus' face he could tell from the scent in the air that he was crying slightly. After a while of awkward silence apart from the odd sorrow-filled sigh or tearful sniff, Sango stood and left the hut in without a word to anyone. But the silence wasnt for long becasue as soon as she stepped foot outside she burst into violent tears. Miroku heard this and went to console Sango. Inuyasha heard all this from his seat inside of the hut.

"You read the note Sango, she'll have to come back." Was his attempt at cheering up the broken hearted demon slayer.

"Yeah, once. Kagome will come back once. Then she's gone!" Replied the distraught Sango.

His ears drooped again at the lack of any happiness in each of his comraids voices.

"She might not come back this time Inuyasha." Came Shippou's stern voice from the corner.

Inuyasha ran through the door frame and almost knocked Miroku of his feet on his way towards the thick cover of trees. He stopped at the edge of the tree line as a familiar scent hit his nose making his eyes widen. Sango watched as his back tensed and he lifted his head to check the smell traveling in the air. He dropped his head and ran towards the centre of the forest whilst Miroku looked towards the point they knew Inuyasha was headed.

"Kikyo..." Mutterd Miroku's hate filled voice.

"Huh?" Sango looked up from her tearfilled hands to follow the monks gaze. Soul collectors floated about aimlessly around the top of the slightly distant sacred tree. "Don't you dare Inuyasha..." She whisperd to herself.
