i "Inuyasha look out!" Kagome cried, as she herself tried to dodge and draw back an arrow to shoo at the same time, which wasn't as easy as it looked.

"Shut up wench I know what I am freaking doing." He snarled, another demon being cut down by the Tetsusaiga.

"Well it sure don't look like it." She snapped back. /i

One year later...

Sunset Shrine

Kagome Higurashi blinked her eyes open, shaking off the familiar dreams that plagued her sleep. Sitting up, she moved Buyo off her bed, or at least tried, the fat cat just moved to a different location, refusing to move from the warmth of the bed, daring his mistress to say anything otherwise.

Kagome just sighed, and slipped out of rumpled sheets, stretching with loud pops of her joints as her body went back into its natural arrangement, but hurting all the way from sleeping in an unusual position.

Almost bumping into Sota as he ran for breakfast, she gave a smile. Thanking Kami it was summer, with no school, no obligations, no nothing....

Grabbing an apple after having gotten presentable to the rest of the world, she grabbed the book she just started reading, bag, and looked for Sota.

"Sota! Come on! You said you wanted to go to the park!" Kagome looked around the house. She then went outside and noticed the door leading to the well was open. Ignoring the fear and apprehension that was tightening her stomach, she headed toward it.

Kuso, she thought, Kami don't let him be down their, don't let him be down their, she prayed. Swallowing hard, her hands trembling, she stepped inside.

Sota jerked around, looked at her with a tiny bit of guilt and fear, "I'm sorry Kagome," he pleaded, "I know you an' mama tell me not to go in here, but I can't help it."

Kagome knelt down, and hugged him, "Its ok, I'm not mad, just a little surprised, but I'm not mad."

Sota hugged her back, then turned to look at the sealed well. "Is he really gone, because you know Grandpa tried to seal the well but it didn't work." There was a tiny bit of maliciousness in his voice, but Kagome could not blame him.

"Yes, he's gone, and he can never come back."

"Good." Was all Sota replied.

Both Higurashi children looked at the well, covered with wood and nailed shut, three scrolls lying vertical on it, with a dagger coated suspiciously in something that looked like blood buried deep within the wood in the middle scroll.

"Are you sure that is holding?" He asked skeptically.

"Positive, I do have more true training than Grandfather you know, spending time with Kaede helped a great deal, plus formal training at some of the larger shrines, and imagination is always a back up."

Yes she was sure it held, how many times did she feel the barrier wavering, him trying to force his way through? Too many times she concluded, and each time he had some new magical object trying to overbalance her miko abilities and the Shikon no Tama. Too bad she was so much stronger than he last saw her.

"Come on, let's go, we don't want mama to in find out we were in here, we know she banned it off limits." Kagome said softly, and grabbing Sota's hand, she left the well-house without a look back.
I know you all probably hate me for leaving it there, but it looks better than if I continue. And no, this is not going to be a Sess/Kag. I sort of like those but so many have been done with the same plot lines that I am not even going to give one a try. This is a YuYuHakusho, I thought some of you might want to know that before I continued. And if you really want me to do a romance later on, I'll try my best.

Thanks to:

tataru baindaa: Yeah when I was writing it, I felt even worse 'cause I knew what happened..

Ichimu: *laughs* Well thank you, that's probably the best compliment I have gotten on one of my fics. And maybe just for you, I'll do a romance..
