Kagome Higurashi was your average, everyday girl who just happened to travel five hundred years into the past now and again. Her life had been hard and not many knew of the secret life she once had. A life in which she lived in the past that she traveled to so often. No one knew that her father was in the past and that her mother here was actually her adopted mother.
She trusted no one with these secrets-except of course her adopted mother and father- and tried to live her life normally. That had changed, however, when she had been drug back into the past and forced to battle demons beside her newly found friends.
She had not seen her father since she was 12 years old and would not be able to see him again until she reached the age of seventeen, the time in which her full abilities finally arrive.

Kagome climbed the treacherous vines in the bone eater's well, wishing very much that she could just use her demonic abilities and jump out but also knowing that a certain hanyou was there and would no doubt question her if she ever did such an act.
"Wench you're late" Inuyasha bellowed as she finally reached the top and sat on the lip. "So?" She said and Inuyasha's face twisted in anger. "So you're not supposed to be late!" He growled. Kagome rolled her eyes and tightened her grip on her heavy, yellow backpack.
She had long ago gotten over the fact that Inuyasha loved Kikyo and, although she had cried some, was now okay with it. She gagged slightly as she remembered three months previous when she had caught Inuyasha with Kikyo well, to put it simply, mating.
"Wench! Wench are you listening to me?!" Inuyasha snapped, waving a clawed hand in front of her face. "Sit!" Kagome cried, a little startled. The hanyou smashed into the ground and muttered curses as he waited for the spell to wear off.
Kagome on the other hand simply walked around the cursing hanyou and sprinted toward Kaede's hut. An orange ball of fur crashed into her as she moved the bamboo that worked as the hut's door. "Okaa-san!" Shippo cried, snuggling into her.
She giggled slightly and rubbed his hair. She sat her bag down and turned to her friends. "Hi guys" Kagome chirped and they greeted her warmly in return. "Did you bring me something, Okaa-san?" Shippo asked as he spied her overly stuffed backpack.
"Mmhmm" Kagome hummed as she sat him down and riffled through her backpack for the brand new box of pocky she had bought for him. Handing it to him, she turned back to her friends and asked them of how everything had been.

Inuyasha was sprinting through the forest, dodging trees and low branches as he followed the glowing soul collectors. He found her lying against a tree and immediately went to her.
"Kikyo" He greeted lovingly as he kissed her on the lips. "Inuyasha" She whispered and wrapped her arms around his torso. "I missed you," Kikyo whispered quietly, "You were gone so long, I was worried you weren't coming back."
"You don't have to be" Inuyasha shook his head.
"Why?"
"Because I've decided to take you into our group and have you travel with us. Besides one skilled miko is better than one unskillful one." Kikyo beamed at him as he raised her into his arms and carried her back to Kaede's hut, where he announced that she would be staying and helping the group.
