DISCLAIMER: OK, I forgot in the first chapter, and will for get again, so this is for the ENTIRE fanfiction. THIS IS A FAN-FICTION I am a FAN! I don't own Inuyasha & Co. and NEVER WILL, just deal with it!

(A/N: Thanks bunches for all the reviews!!! ^_^ To answer a question, I figure after a year, Kagome's Mom and Keade would have had some way of communicating, I mean, Keade is like Kagome's Mother away from home! They probably send messages through Kagome.^_^ ALSO! I'm soo sorry for the horrible format of the last chapter! I hope this one is better!

Kagome landed gracefully in the well and started climbing the vines along its side. Glancing up, she didn't see an angry face above her, and didn't hear the cries of an abused Shippo either. Where is everyone? Oh well, it's not exactly like I was looking forward to any of that, but still, what's going on?

Jumping out if the well Kagome sat down for a short rest leaning against the well. A small breeze played with her hair and the sun shone on her face through the dancing leaves in the trees above her. It was silent, except for the slight rustle of leaves, and the far of chirping of a bird.

It's so beautiful here, no smog, or car horns, sometimes I with I could stay here forever, every time I go home I just spend the time worrying about my life here and praying it isn't all just a dream…it's not a dream, is it?

She was knocked out of her thoughts by a happy ball of fur, "KAGOOOOMMMMEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You're BACK!" the little fox demon danced in little circles around her and her backpack, "Any chocolate? Uh?! UH!?" he looked at her with his big beady eyes and pouted. "Sure, sure Shippo, here ya go" she said as she pulled a bag of M&Ms and handed them to him. "Hey Shippo, do you notice anything different about me?" she asked him as he ate.

"You're clothes wench, what happened to them?" it was Inuyasha, wearing his standard red kimono.

"My mother made this, and I love it." Kagome stated firmly, gesturing to her outfit. Inuyasha's reply nearly made Kagome faint, "Me too."

He likes it? And he admitted to it? This is just plum crazy.

Coming out for her daze, Kagome lead them back to the village. Standing just outside Keade's hut was Miroku and Sango, both of whom were looking rather bored.

Sango jumped up and ran to Kagome as they came into view, "Kagome! It's so good to see you!" She paused as she noticed Kagome's clothes, "Oh wow, Kagome, It's beautiful! Where'd you get it?"

"My Mom made it, isn't it great? If you look really closely there is a protective charm embroidered on it," Kagome held out her arm for everyone to look.

Inuyasha was unimpressed, "Feh, don't think some charm will make you invincible, last thing I need is to have to save you more often because you've gotten a big head." Kagome laughed, "Don't worry Inuyasha, I'm sure I still need you to protect me."

Keade smiled as she walked out of her hut, "Ah, so your mother finished them did she? I'm surprised she finished so quickly, I guess she really didn't like the sound of Miroku, eh?" Miroku frowned, "Now just what are you saying about me!?"
