Inu-Yasha and Miroku told Kaede what had happened and asked if she could do anything to break the seal that Kagome had placed on the well.

"I don't know for sure. I have certain spells that break seals- but. I-. Well.

Are you sure Kagome was the one to put the seal on the well?" She asked unsure.

"Who else could have done it?" Inu-Yasha inquired.

They all sat together in Kaede's hut. The door was shut and the windows covered to give them privacy, and the only light available came from the fire in the middle of the room.

"Many people, Inu-Yasha. Though, I doubt someone did this frivolously. I think it could have been Naraku or more likely."

"Kikyou." Miroku finished for her.

Kaede nodded solemnly.

"She could have done it easily. Especially since she was in the general vacinity. Ne, Inu-Yasha?" Kaede said.

Inuyasha's face darkened and he mumbled, "I shouldn't have trusted her."

"Inu-Yasha, this is not your fault. Kikyou is different now. Even I, her own sister, can see and admit that. She isn't the woman that you once loved. Kagome now has her soul.

Though, I can't really compare Kagome and Kikyou to each other because they are so different. I believe Kikyou's soul is the same in Kagome but I believe it is Kagome's soul now. Kikyou is dead. Do you understand Inu- Yasha?

Inu-Yasha looked up into her eyes.

All was silent before Inu-Yasha whispered,

"Yes."

Miroku raised an eyebrow in speculation.

'Did Inu-Yasha really understand that Kagome's absence and Kikyou's death weren't his fault?' he thought.

"I understand your reasoning in believing that Kikyou was the one to seal the well, but why does it matter?" Miroku questioned.

"Well you see, if Kagome was the one to seal the well than my magic might not be strong enough to reach her time and break the seal." Kaede Explained.

"But..." Inuyasha said, urging her to continue.

"But if Kikyou was the one to seal the well than with a very strong spell I have I can get one person through the well." She finished.

"How long would that take to prepare?" Miroku inquired.

"I have all the ingredients but it'll take at least an hour to prepare the ritual." she answered.

"Perfect!" Inuyasha exclaimed excitedly.

'I'm finally going to see Kagome and get her back!' Inuyasha thought.

"The only problem is the seal still wont be broken and I'll need Kagome's help to bring you both back. That means you and I have to schedule a time that we can both start the spell at the same time so you two can come back. That means I'll have to give you written instructions on how to do the spell, to give to Kagome." Kaede announced.

"Fine. Lets do it on the night after the next new moon. When the sliver of the moon is at it's highest." Inuyasha suggested.

"That's a week and a day. Why so long Inuyasha?" Kaede inquired.

"Because he realizes Kagome might still be mad at him and convincing her to come back might take a little longer than two or three days." Miroku explained.

"Feh! She'll come back! I'll make her." Inuyasha said going back to his old arrogant and confident ways. Kaede and Miroku looked at him incredulously.

"Miroku why don't you tell Inuyasha how to approach Kagome after the fight they had, while I go and get the ritual ready?" Kaede suggested dryly.

Miroku nodded and dragged a confused Inuyasha out of Kaede's hut.

"I hope he doesn't screw things up more." Kaede muttered to herself before getting to work on the spell. ~*~*~*~*~
