Well, I'm back, and I'm going to end it this chapter if it kills me. It's been a pretty unhappy experience writing this, and I'm glad it's almost over. I hope you'll all check out my comedies, since I actually like those.

Also, to those who gave reviews along the lines of "Finally, Kagome's here, she should have been from the beginning," well, to you I say, if that's how you feel, go write your own story, before I figure out where you live so I can come beat you up. I'm sick of others telling me how to write my stories.

Disclaimer: I, Troll Nogard, Great Dragon of the West, do not own any of these characters.

"Well, I guess that's it," commented Buffy, as she stood in the airport with Kagome and Inu-Yasha. "We managed to subdue the Hellmouth, so your well should be working now. Good luck to you."

Inu-Yasha rolled his eyes, eager to leave and be done with the whole business. He scratched his head furiously. Stupid hat was driving him nuts.

"Thank you," said Kagome.

The intercom called the boarding of Kagome and Inu-Yasha's flight to Japan.

"You'd better go," said Buffy, and Kagome nodded.

"Feh," said Inu-Yasha.

Kagome settled back into her seat, and looked over at Inu-Yasha.

"*That was sure interesting, wasn't it?*" she asked.

"*Maybe for you!*" growled Inu-Yasha. "*Those stupid people locked me in a cage! I hate this 'America' place."

"*They locked you in a cage?*" giggled Kagome.

"*Ehhhhrrr.NO!*" shouted Inu-Yasha, attracting stares, and making Kagome laugh harder. "*Feh,*" he added, and turned away.

"*Whatever you say,*" grinned Kagome.

Kagome came back out of the house, after checking in with her family. She hadn't really told them where she'd been; she'd claimed she was in the past, and that she was going right back.

Inu-Yasha was waiting for her in the well building.

"*Well? You ready?*" he inquired.

"Sure. We can get back to hunting for jewel shards. I just hope too many demons didn't find the remaining pieces," she sighed.

"Yeah, yeah. Let's go," said Inu-Yasha, and they both jumped down in to the well.

Miroku, Sango, and Kaede sat in Kaede's hut.

"*I wonder where Inu-Yasha and Kagome went,*" mused Sango. "*They're usually not gone this long. It seems like it's been a week!*"

"*Aye,*" murmured Kaede. "*Stranger still, Inu-Yasha left the Tetsusaiga behind. Still, I am sure it is no problem. Kagome is most likely just in her own time, and Inu-Yasha disappears often.*"

####################################################################
Kagome and Inu-Yasha trudged the distance from the well to Kaede's home, where they hoped to find the others.

"*Why am I tired?*" asked Inu-Yasha.

"*It's called jetlag. Don't worry about it," answered Kagome.

They came at last to the door of the hut, and entered. Inside, they found Kaede, Sango, and Miroku staring at them in mild surprise.

"*Soooo.*" said Miroku, "*Anything interesting happen?*"
