"Ok, we're here," said Kagome as she got off of Inuyasha.
"Yea. Be careful, Kagome," said Inuyasha, not wanting to leave her.
"(nod) I'll. Bye, Inuyasha." Kagome went inside the cave. She kept on looking behind her to see Inuyasha standing still.
-
"I'm back, Kouga-kun." Kagome tapped on Kouga's shoulder.
"Ah, welcome back. So did you talk to him?" asked Kouga.
"Yes. I think I will go back to my world, soon," said Kagome sitting next to Kouga.
"Why? Can't you stay here with me? I wouldn't mind protecting you."
"As much as I love this era it pains me to stay here. All this time I felt like I was no more than a shard detector or a replacement for Kikyo, but I was happy. I want to go back and just put aside these dearest memories deep inside my heart," smiled Kagome sadly.
"Kagome…" it pained Kouga, too, to see Kagome like this.
"I'm going to say good-bye to all my friends and apologize for real. Then I'll leave."
-
"I don't understand Kagome-chan. She said she was going back to her world, then why was she with Kouga-kun?" asked Sango.
"You're asking the wrong person, Sango," sighed Miroku.
"……" Shippo didn't say anything, instead he just crossed his arms in front of his chest and filled his mouth with air.
"What's wrong, Shippo?" asked Miroku.
"… I can't take this anymore! I'm just a kid, you know!!" shouted Shippo with anger.
"Eh?"
"Inuyasha!" Shippo pointed his index finger at Inuyasha's dim face.
"……" Inuyasha looked up, saw Shippo's angry little fox face, and lowered his head back.
"You! You should have some kind of explanation! It's obviously your fault that Kagome left us! It couldn't just be a coincidence that Kikyo joined us right after Kagome left! Kagome was crying really sadly when she was leaving!" Shippo's eyes became all watery, and he smacked Inuyasha's head.
"She was…crying…?" asked Inuyasha weakly.
"You fool! Of course she was! I promised her not to talk about this to anyone, but I can't take it anymore! If… If I don't say anything… poor Kagome will be… WAAHHHHH!!!" Shippo collapsed onto the floor and began crying.
'So Kagome was crying…' thought Inuyasha. His gaze was shaking.
"Kagome-chan…" Sango's eyes were watery and red, also. She rested her head on Miroku's shoulder and cried quietly.
-
Next day, Kagome woke up early. She went outside the cave and stretched her arms.
"What a beautiful day…" mumbled Kagome as she watched the sun rising.
"Good morning, Kagome," said Kouga, standing next to Kagome.
"Ah, good morning," smiled Kagome.
"So… Today's the day, huh." Kouga brought up the subject to see Kagome's reaction. He really hoped for Kagome to say beside him.
"Yeah. I'm going to talk to my friends, today."
-
Inside Kaede's hut, everyone was all gloomy. Inuyasha was very tense and uncomfortable. This was not what he had wished for. He stared at Kikyo who was quietly drinking herb tea. She seemed to be fine and collected as usual.
-sigh
Inuyasha sighed and looked outside.
"Ka-Kagome!" Inuyasha stood up abruptly, catching everyone's attention.
"What are you talking about, Inuyasha. There's no one outside. You've finally gone crazy," said Miroku shaking his head.
"Poor Inuyasha…" tsk-ed Sango.
"No, Kagome's coming! I can smell her scent. Although I also smell that bastard Kouga's scent, too," Inuyasha gritted his teeth.
"So they are," said Kikyo. She stood up, getting everyone's attention with her beauty as usual, and went outside.
-
When Kagome arrived, someone was waiting for her outside.
"Kikyo?" Kagome hesitated but decided to keep on walking.
"So you've come," smirked Kikyo.
"Yes. But don't worry, I'm not here to stay with my friends."
"Oh, I'm not worried at all. I knew you were going to come back here at least once."
"……" Kagome didn't say anything.
"Hey, leave Kagome alone!" growled Kouga. Kikyo gave him an icy stare.
"Just do your thing and leave," said Kikyo coldly and walked away from Kagome.
