"you might not come back to this time Kagome, but i still can go to yours" " This spell will not take its course I will find a way to stop it" He said turning around and walking towards the village...
Kagome crawled out of the well in her time. Silently she made her way out the well house, closed the wooden doors, turned around and put her back against them and sighed. A lonley tear slowly escaped her eye she closed them and slid to the ground.
Kagome sobbed silently on her knees which were brought up to her chest.
She pulled herself together wiped her tears off her face and walked towards the front doors of her home in the darkness.
'im never gonna open that window for my hanyou visitor again' she thought while looking up at the side building where her room was located.
Kagome entered her home. She noticed nobody was there still, she discarded the note she left for her family and walked up to her room. She changed her pajamas and laid down.
'itll be soon enough...i will forget soon enough' she thought with tears glistening in her eyes. She drifted into sleep not long after...She was exhausted afterall.
Inuyasha reached the village and enbtered Kaedes hut, Sango,Miroku,and Kaede all stared at him...
"she is gone now" Inuyasha bearly whispered as he looked to the ground.
"wheres Shippo"?
"he went for a walk, he was too depressed" Sango said.
"What will you do now Inuyasha" Miroku asked.
"I have to find Kikyou, let her know whats going on, but i vowed to myself that i wouldnt let the spell happen i will break it somehow"
"but how Inuyasha it is a sacred spell done by a very powerful priestess."
"I dont know, ill figure it out, maybe Kikyou knows what to do she is a priestess after all."
"im gonna go find her, hopefully i do"
Inuyasha leaped out of the hut in search of the tragic priestess.
"do you think Kikyou would know what to do?" Sango asked Kaede.
"i know not child, my sister is powerful indeed however, she might not be in good conditions to help at this time."
Inuyasha ran through the forest trying to catch a glimpse or smell of the soul collectors... to no avail.
He jumped high into a rather old tree deep in the forest to rest.
He shouldnt rest though, that would mean his mind would start working.
'Kagome, i need you with me, we started this together we have to finish it together' he thought to himself.
He looked up at the starry sky
The stars looked so bright
A shooting star crossed the lighted canvas and remembering Kagomes manerisms and traditions he made a wish.
"The sky above us, they say belongs to the many souls before us, therefore they always look down on us from time to time...to see...to remember."
Inuyasha jumped up and looked to see who had said that.
"Kikyou" he said
Inuyasha had been so deep in thought he didnt notice the priestess approaching.
Kikyou was in bad shape.. She looked weak and pale...almost lifeless.
Inuyasha jumped down from the tree and landed in front of her.
"Kikyou, ive been looking all over for you, are you okay?"
Kikyou took a step forward and embraced Inuyasha...
"i just need more souls thats all, and some much needed rest, then i will finish Naraku"
Inuyasha let her go
Kikyou was somewhat surprised at his action and looked at him.
"Kikyou if we finish with Naraku that means you will die"
Kikyou said nothing.
"Kikyou, Kagome has set a spell for you and her"
She looked amuzed and interested.
"A powerful priestess, reencarnation of Midoriko, has cast a spell in Kagomes time for your essence to seperate from her soul, if you are on your deathbed it will automatically happen and you will become alive again."
Kikyou looked at the ground.
"it is not natural, im not of this world"
"Kikyou tell me, is there a way to stop this?"
Kikyou looked at Inuyasha, he looked down.
"tell me, would it be so bad to have me walk the same ground you walk on?"
"this could mean an opportunity for reconciliation between me and you"
"Kikyou, i didnt mean it like that i just ment--..
"No"
"no i couldnt be able to undo such a spell, it is a secred spell and i do not know who placed it, ultimately it would have to be Kagome to break it."
"Kikyou we need your help to collect the remaining jewel shards."
She looked at him, smile coyly, and turned around to walk away.
"Kikyou" he whispered.
He looked up at the stars and began to realize that it might not be so bad to have Kikyou work on healing the hurt on his heart.
maybe Kagome was right.
Kagome woke up the following morning feeling a little depressed. She got dressed ate breakfast and left for school.
it was friday.
She tried to concentrate in her professors lecture that morning but it was a task proven difficult.
She stared out the window and remembered that time Inuyasha was outside scratching his ear like a puppy and had to sit him.
she smile at the thought. then frowned
but this is what she wanted right?
the bell rang and brought back Kagome from her thoughts. She gathered her stuff and walked out of the classroom down the hall to physical education.
"hey Kagome, why so lost in thought today?" One of her friends asked as they caught up to her.
"yeah looks like youre sad"
"its nothing guys really"
they all stopped simultaniously and looked at her.
"what?" Kagome asked confused.
"Kagome did you finally break up with your boyfriend?" her friend asked concerned.
"ummm...i guess you can say that"
"oh Kagome we are so sorry"
"you poor thing"
"hey guys common its really not that bad, this time I ended it" "now come on lets go to class and suit up before we are late"
the group walked together to class and suited up for excercise.
They stepped outside and began class.
after running they rested.
"so lets do something today"
"i really dont feel like it guys" Kagome said.
"oh Kagome, but this is exactly what you need after a breakup"
"i dont know"
"common we can hang out in the city and just forget about everythying for this one night"
"thats sounds awesome Kagome we havnt hung out like that in a while"
All of the girls were now looking at Kagome for approval.
"o...okay but only for a little while tho"
"yay!" they all cheered.
Kagome smiled at them a little before heading inside to change along with her friends.
At the end of the school day, Kagome rushed home so she could change and go out for a little while with her friends.
she bathed and headed to her room to pick out her outfit.
she hadnt done this in a while and had a hard time picking what she would wear.
after 40 pieces of clothing she finally decided.
she was wearing a black top that had sleeves only covering a small portion of her upper arms and bearing her shoulders and showing her midrift a little.
her pants were a dark green color, that tied at the calfs and were a little baggy on her which made her feel comfortable.
her shoes were cute black booties and she decided to wear some lip gloss and silver hoop earings.
Kagome topped it all off with a splash of perfume all over her body.
"Mom!!!!...im heading out with my friends ill be back soon"
"okay dear be very careful"
"okay love you mom"
and with that she headed out the door.
Kagome walked through the streets and took the subway all the way to the city very uncomfortable.
She gained many stares and whistles from all kinds of men all the way there and was getting worried because darkness was starting to set in.
Lucky for her her destination was coming up.
Her friends were at the usual spot...a little tavern where teens could hang out and drink some fermented rice water... in moderation of course. The place was adorned with lights and beautiful peach blossom trees...
kagome saw her friends jaw drop at her sight, she tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, lower her head and blushed a little as she approached them.
"woah Kagome"
"oh my" another covered her mouth.
"you clean up good, i might be into you" the other kid around.
"oh stop it guys im dressed how i normally would before."
"yeah but man where has the time gone, your body is totally like... curvy"
"alright alright alright settled down guys."
Kagome said as she took the Sake that was handed to her by one of her friends.
"hey!"
Kagome felt a tap on her bare shoulder and turned around.
she met Hazel eyes.
"Kanji?" "What a surprise" she said as he pulled her in for a hug.
"You look hot beautiful"
"thank you" she said blushing already feeling the effects of the drink.
Kagome, her friends and Kanji all hanged around and mingled for some time.
Kagome was feeling a bit too happy for her liking by now and decided it was time to go home.
She informed her friends but were concerned with her walking alone at night in her condition and her looking like that.
"its alright ladies i got her" Kanji said smoothly.
"oh no, Kanji i couldnt impose"
"your not lets go, will you like me to carry you"
This brought her memory of the other who use to carry her countless times.
she felt sad.
"no its okay i can manage"
They talked most of the way home and Kagome was beginning to feel the happy feeling go away...
"well we are here" she said as they stopped at the bottom of the shrine.
"cool, ill see you school monday?, or are you planning to miss again?"
she laughed, music to his ears
"no i wont miss no more thanks for walking me home"
"no problem beauty" he said as he reached down to kiss her lips.
Kagome dodged it, he hesitated and decided to kiss her cheek instead.
Kanji smiled at her, turned around and walked away.
She stayed looking at him walk away
'the nerve of this guy' she thought with a chuckle as she began to climb the shrine stairs.
she got to the top opened the front door and walked in her home
It was dark and everyone was asleep already.
She walked up the stairs quitely and turned the doorknob to her bedroom.
She let herself in quitely and tried not to stumble in the dark to find her lamp.
She turned it on, placed the keys in the desk, turned around to walk to her dresser and gasped as she almost shrieked
"what the hell are you doing in my room" she exclaimed trying to catch her beating heart.
Hey guys sorry took so long please criticize and review!!!!
