"How am I meant to tell Inuyasha? This has been the first break in my studies for a while and now I have to leave..."

She walked back to the village deep in thought, not only did she have the problem of telling Inuyasha she had to go but she also had to stop him from following after her. She was nearly back at the village when she noticed everyone was waiting for her.

"What are you all doing here?"

"Inuyasha told us you ran off with Myoga, you know these forest aren't safe!" Sango said

"Sango I can look after myself now, my priestess powers are a lot stronger than they used to be I would of known if there was a demon there" she smiled proudly

It was true, since the final battle with Naraku Kagome started training in her spare time to learn how to control and access her power and she had gotten fairly good at it.

"Even so you should have told someone"

"I did, Inuyasha knew"

Sango was about to say something else when Miroku moved in front of her slightly.

"What did Myoga say? Is there trouble?"

"No not at all, everything is fine..."

"Kagome what's going on?" Inuyasha asked

"Nothing, why would you think something is going on we just talked that's all"

"This isn't working, the way there all looking at me"

"I've known you long enough to know when something is wrong" he said with a realised brow

Kagome sighed then looked at her friends "I have to leave"

"Leave? But you only just got here" Rin sulked

"I know but this is... it's important, I'll only be gone for a little while"

"I hope"

"Where are you going?" Inuyasha asked

"Back through the well"

"What did Myoga say to make you suddenly have to go back to your time?"

"I can't tell you... I promise when I get back I'll explain but right now I have to go"

Kagome walked pass everyone and headed to where she left her bag, she knelt down next to her bag and tipped everything out.

"I won't need everything... let's see what do I need?"

"Kagome, can I come in?" Sango asked

"Sure Sango"

Sango walked in the room with Miroku following after her.

"Your both here... this can't be good"

"Kagome is there something going on? Are you in trouble?" Sango asked

"No it's nothing like that"

"Then what is going on?"

"I can't say... It's not that I don't want to but it's just it's important that this stays a secret, you guys have to trust me on this"

"We trust you know what you're doing but Inuyasha..."

"I know" Kagome sighed "I didn't plan on this happening... But... I know I probably shouldn't be asking you this but I need your help"

"Anything" Miroku said

"I need you guys to keep Inuyasha away from the well, he can't find out what I'm doing"

"Ok Kagome but on one condition, you tell us what's going on when you get back"

"O... ok"

"You're taking your bow?" Miroku asked

"Yeah just in case, when I get back you know demons"

"Take these with you" Miroku said pulling out some sutras

Both Sango and Kagome looked at Miroku, Sango with confusion and Kagome with worry.

"Sango why don't you wait outside while I show Kagome how to use these"

"Why?"

"Stress isn't good for you" he said hinting to her stomach

With a sigh Sango left the room, as Miroku placed the sutras in Kagome's hands he took the one she was trying to hide.

"So this is what you have been hiding" he said looking at it

"A time sutra? Don't see many of those"

"How did you know?"

"I'm a monk remember, I know a spell when I see one"

"I guess I should probably explain?"

"No need, I trust you know what you're doing" he said handing it back "I don't know where you're going Kagome but be careful"

"So you won't... tell the others?"

"It is not my place" he said standing "you should take your priestess outfit, that way you will blend in better"

Once he left the room Kagome put the sutras in her bag as well as the priestess outfit Kaede had given her. She packed some medicinal herbs and some of the food she brought from her time then closed the bag and went to leave the house. Kagome once slightly surprised to see only Inuyasha waiting for her there; they walked hand in hand silently towards the well.

"Find the Soun family" Myoga said

Kagome nodded then kissed Inuyasha on the cheek before jumping down the well, it was the same as the first time, everything seemed normal but the sutra glowed a bright white. Once on the other side Kagome climbed up the well, everything looked nearly the same as the first time but now she could see a path to the village. As she walked down the path memories of the first time came flashing back, she saw the tiny village in her mind but when it was in view she noticed it had grown a bit. Kagome walked down towards it and instead of the village men chasing a demon they were working.

"At least Sesshomaru is getting attacked this time but how am I meant to find him? And how am I meant to help?"

Once she was in the village she noticed a few people were staring at her, even though she was wearing a kimono Kagome noticed that hers was much better than the ones around her.

"He was a demon Lord so he probably had the finest material... Or stole it from someone rich"

"Are you the priestess Kagome?" a village girl asked

"Yes I am"

"How does this girl know me?"

"My father has been waiting for you, come I will take you to him"

"O... ok"

Kagome followed the girl to a small hut; she went in and noticed something familiar about it.

"There's no way... this can't be Kaede's house"

"Konata are you back already?" her mother asked "who is this?"

"Mother this is Kagome, the one father is waiting for"

"Oh my, come in dear come in, we have been expecting you, my name is Kana, I am Soun's wife"

Kagome got pulled into the hut; she sat down out of the way while Kana ran around collecting things.

"I'm sorry but how do you actually know of me?"

"I feel my husband will be the best one to explain that to you, now here, I was told to give you these when you came"

Kana handed Kagome a piece of brown cloth that was wrapped around something, she opened it and saw another kimono. This one was a dark blue with a silver sash; she touched the silk with a smile. Kana brought out another package only this one was more like a money bag.

"This one is for Izayoi and his new son" she explained

Kagome nodded and pack everything into her bag.

"I'm home"

"Welcome back husband"

"How is this?"

"This is Kagome father" Konata explained

"She has finally come?" he said in a whisper

"It's nice to meet you" Kagome bowed

"Kana did you give her the things?"

"Yes, there is only one thing she needs but I felt it would be best for you to show her that"

"Well come then Kagome, we don't have any time to loose"

Kagome followed Soun until she felt the presence of a demon but it was familiar somehow, she kept following with her guard up until they came to a cave then they stopped.

"The demon lord told me to give you this; it will take you to where you need to go"

Out of the cave walked out a two headed dragon, Kagome's eyes widened, she couldn't believe what she was seeing.

"Ah-Un?"

"This demon has a name?"

"Of course, all demons... well nearly all demons have names" Kagome smiled

"Well you best be off then"

"Before I go I have one question, did Taisho leave any kind of message for me? Like what I'm supposed to do?"

"Taisho?"

"I mean the demon lord"

"He only told me wait until you came then to give you the packages and the demon"

"That's it?"

"Yes"

"Oh... well ok then I guess I will be off"

"Well I guess I'll figure it out..."

Kagome cautiously climbed onto Ah-Un's back, she was happy to find he didn't try to kill her. The second she was settled he jumped into the air, Kagome griped on for her life but after a few minutes she started to relax.

"Myoga did say it was about Inuyasha and I already know them two don't get along... No... He can't expect me to make them friends!"
