You were once
my one companion.
you were all
that mattered.
You were once
a friend and father -
then my world
was shattered.
Wishing you were
somehow here again.
wishing you were
somehow near.
Sometimes it seemed,
if I just dreamed,
somehow you would
be here.
Wishing I could
hear your voice again.
knowing that I
never would.
Dreaming of you
won't help me to do
all that you dreamed
I could.
Passing bells
and sculpted angels,
cold and monumental,
seem, for you
the wrong companions -
you were warm and gentle.
Too many years
fighting back tears.
Why can't the past
just die.?
Wishing you were
somehow here again.
knowing we must
say goodbye.
Try to forgive.
teach me to live.
give me the strength
to try.
No more memories,
no more silent tears.
No more gazing across
the wasted years.
Help me say
goodbye.

"Bye Kagome! See you tomorrow!" Hojo called from his car. Kagome smiled and waved before entering her apartment. She had moved from the family shrine to this apartment so that she could be closer to the college. Sota, Grandfather, and Mom still lived at the family shrine, and sometimes they would visit, but it was a long ways to come.
Sighing, Kagome shut the door, and looked about the room. A scrapbook lay on the coffee table, open to one of the pages she had been working on. It was a page that had different pictures of Inu-Yasha and the gang from the Feudal Age. Kagome had taught Sango and Kaede how to work a camera, and they had taken most of the pictures that Kagome was in. Smiling, she remembered the time Miroku had gotten his hands on the camera and snuck to the hot spring for a picture. All he pretty much got was a boomerang flying at the camera. Luckily, the camera hadn't been destroyed.
The Shikon Jewel hung around her neck pretty much all the time. Everyone had accepted the story of it being one of Grandfather's replicas, and no more questions had been asked. After she had returned from the Feudal Age, Kagome had put a simple ward on it to stop any demons from following her into her time. What she didn't know was that the spell was already broken.
Kagome went into the bedroom and looked out the window. She could almost see the God tree, even though there were many miles between herself and the shrine. Luckily, she had retained her miko powers and could see the glow of the tree at night. If she looked even closer, she could see the light from her spell on the well. Many of her friends visited occasionally, in fact, they visited more often than they had when Kagome had lived at the shrine. To them, it was as if she had never lived at the shrine, and never had the diseases that Grandfather had said she had had.
"I've been waiting for you." The voice startled Kagome and she whirled around. A white-haired demon stood in her doorway, dressed in a red kimono. She had no ears, but it was obvious that she had some purpose to serve in the present.
"What do you want?" Kagome asked, staring into the demon's golden eyes. 'She looks so much like Inu-Yasha! I wonder if they are related or something.'
"Your name is Kagome, yes?" There was no emotion in the demon's face but Kagome knew better from her experiences with Sesshomaru.
"Yes." Her voice was even, but her mind kept sending her warnings about the demon. "But I would like to know who is asking."
"I am Fi'era, a friend of Inu-Yasha. He is traveling to his most certain death at the hands of his own brother! I came here to find someone who could stop him." Fi'era had pleading written all over her face. Kagome looked at her in slight horror, not sure of what to think.
"Do you know which way he went from the well? If you pointed me in the right direction and then went ahead to try and stop him, I might be able to get to him in time." Kagome looked at Fi'era and Fi'era nodded slowly.
"He went west, to his father's old lands." Without another word, Fi'era leapt out the window, and headed towards the shrine. Kagome looked about her bedroom, wondering what to take.
A few moments later, she had a backpack full of clothes and other supplies. A brief telephone call and Hojo showed up to take her to the shrine. Her excuse; family emergency.
Kagome walked to the well and looked down. Fi'era had already passed through, but Kagome was unsure of whether she should travel to the Feudal Age or not. To travel back would be to face Inu-Yasha, Miroku, Sango, Kaede, and Shippô after all these years. Another moment's hesitation, and Kagome leapt into the well, and into the Feudal Age.
Much to her surprise, no one was waiting for her when she climbed out of the well. Kagome had expected Fi'era to stop by the village and tell everyone that she was back for a short while. Looking around, Kagome noticed an arrow carved in the ground, pointing west. She stared at it for a while before turning towards the village, because she needed to talk to Kaede, and get some better supplies.
The village was bustling with people; many more than Kagome had seen since she had been there last. Kaede's house was in the same spot, but there were many people entering and exiting it. Kagome entered, tucking the Shikon Jewel beneath her clothes. Many of the people turned and stared openly before their neighbors nudged them and whispered in their ears. Kagome ignored the stares and whispers, seeking Kaede.
"Who do you think you are?" a man asked, gripping Kagome's arm. "Only those Lady Kaede invited are allowed in."
Kagome looked at the man and then looked at his hand. Slowly, the man let go, but obviously not from his personal choice; Kagome was using her miko powers.
"What is this disturbance?" Kaede's voice sounded from nearby and Kagome pushed her way up front. "Kagome?!"
"I have come back for a while. Can you give me some supplies?" Kaede looked at Kagome, amazed that the young reincarnation of Kikyo had returned after her sudden departure back to her own time.
"You can take whatever you need. I assume that you are going to find Inu- Yasha, correct?" Kagome paused momentarily, noticing the shocked expressions from the people around them.
"Yes. I have been told that he is headed for his most certain death." Murmurs of horror and pleasure came from around them; those who knew Inu- Yasha were sympathetic, those who didn't assumed he was evil. Kagome bowed her head to Kaede before entering the part of the house that was closed off to visitors. Kaede watched her go, wondering what she had meant by Inu- Yasha's most certain death.
