And I jumped in with Shippo. I soon felt the floating sensation I had almost forgotten, it felt as if I was swimming in dry water. Shippo was only a foot or two infront of me. In a matter of seconds, the water disappeared and we arrived back in Shippo's time. I took a deep breath. 'Ok, you're here now so no backing out!' I warned myself.

"Kagome? Are you coming? Or are you just gonna stand there? In the well. With the spiders. And bugs. And all the other yucky stuff?" asked Shippo smirking.

"Huh?!?! Whaaa?" I said shocked and quickly scrambled up the side of the well, not to mention falling back down twice as Shippo just laughed. "Uh, thanks for the help, Shippo." I said sarcastically.

"S-sorry!! It was so funny though!!" he managed to say as he continued to roll around laughing.

Sighing, I turned and began to walk towards the village, clutching my travel bag with a death grip. "Uh, are you angry at me Kagome-chan?" asked Shippo nervously.

I sighed again. "No. How could I possibly be mad at you?" I replied giving him a smile.

"Yay!! ok! Let's go!!" he shouted happily and began to drag me towards the village, my feet barely keeping up with his fast pace.

"Whoa!! Slow down Shippo!" I yelled, when he stopped abruptly, causing me to fall on my butt. 'Ow!' "Why did you stop all of a sudden?!" I demanded.

"Cuz we're here!" he stated obviously.

"Huh?" I looked up, and voila! There it was. The village. It looked exactly the same as it did three years ago as if I was only gone for a day. I slowly rose back up on my feet.

"Come on, Kagome!!" called Shippo, three yards in front of me.

"Coming." I said quietly. Memories began to flood my brain. Inuyasha and me. Sango and Miroku, um and a giant lump on his head, eheheh....my past came back once more or rather, I came back to it. I began to quicken my pace. I couldn't wait to see Sango and Miroku and Kaede again!! "W-wait up Shippo!"

As we neared Kaede's hut, I heard voices coming from it. I took one last deep breath (I do that a lot don't I?) and slowly pulled back the bamboo sheet door. All the talking stopped as three heads turned towards me. Each face changing from curious confusion to shocked surprise. "K-Kagome!" stuttered a young lady around 20 years old with her hair back in a loose ponytail.

My eyes brimmed with tears at seeing all these familiar faces I had left behind. "Sango!" I cried as we rushed to embrace each other. I felt someone else join our embrace and put his hand somewhere I preferred it not to be. Unfortunately for him, Sango and I both noticed immediately.

"PERVERT!!!" yelled Sango and I at the same time, slapping him hard. He now has two large red handprints on either side of his face as he lay on his back with swirlies. (A/N: lol swirlies!!!)

Sango and I turned to each other and began laughing, just like old times. Shippo looked down at the monk, poking at him. "Um, I think you guys killed him." he stated. Miroku then began to sit up, rubbing both cheeks.

"What was that for? I was just hugging!" he said innocently, earning a death glare from Sango. He immediately shup up and pretended to be busy stirring the soup they had made for dinner.

"Kagome-chan! We've all missed you so much!" Sango said gesturing for me to sit down.

"I've missed all of you a lot too! I wanna congratulate you two! When's the wedding? Oooh! Can I be the maid of honor?!" I replied excitedly looking at Sango with big sparkly eyes.

"WWAAAAAAAAAAAA?!!?!?!?!?!??!!?" screeched Sango, looking around furiously, her gaze landing on Miroku then at me, then back and forth. Miroku pretended not to notice as I just looked at her innocently. I knew she could never stay angry with me when I had the innocent look on. ^_^

"Shippo said that you two were planning to settle down and have kids!" I continued happily, ignorant to the steam coming from her and her bright red face. That either meant she was really embarrassed or really angry.

Meanwhile, Miroku had inched next to Shippo and was pounding him on the head.

After dinner, I went outside to get some fresh air. The others went to bed. I walked towards the forest, remembering to bring my bow and arrows in case I met up with some trouble. I continued to walk, enjoying the familiarity of everything although some memories still hurt. Some how, I managed to get to the Goshinbuku. (A/N: did I spell that right?) I sat down at the base of the sacred tree and relaxed. 'At least there's no Hojo here to annoy me.' I thought laughingly to myself. I began to feel myself begin to drift off to sleep when I sat up straight with a start. 'Is that what I think it is?' I asked myself. I could sense two Shikon shards about a mile away. I looked down at the necklace I had worn ever since I began to collect the shards. The jewel was round, a purplish pink. It was glowing slightly, reacting to the two other shards. I smiled. They were the last two shards. The jewel was almost completed! I stood up, ready to go after the shards when I realized. 'The youkai using the shards is extremely strong!' I thought to myself. It felt like the strongest youkai aura I had ever felt. It's strength probably rivaled Sesshoumaru's. 'Shit....how am I gonna get the Shikon shards from him?!?!' I thought desperately to myself. I gasped. The youkai was on the move. TOWARDS ME!!!! 'Shit!!! He must have smelled me!!!!' I mentally yelled, then cursed myself for being so stupid. I was gonna go to sleep outside!! Only one mile away from the youkai!! I am such an idiot!!! 'Oh no! I can't go back to the village cuz it'll just follow me!' I remembered. 'Um, what to do, what to do?!?!' The youkai aura was growing nearer and nearer to me. I began running around in circles trying to decide what to do. Then I remembered. I had my bow and arrow! Maybe I could knock off the shards! Then he wouldn't be nearly as strong and I could defeat him!

"YES!" I shouted, pumping my fist into the air. But immediately I covered my mouth with my hands. 'Smart, Kagome! Make it easier for him to find you!' I mentally kicked myself for being such a baka. I could feel the youkai only a few meters away. I prepared my bow and arrow. He immediately slowed down when he was a few yards away and stayed behind the bushes where I couldn't see him. He slowly came closer, taking his sweet time as I sweated like crazy. 'Ok, Kagome! You can do this! I mean, it's only a super strong and powerful youkai with two shards!' -_-' I am such a comfort to myself...-_-;;

He was only a few feet away right now. I willed my shaking hands to be still and I aimed at him, waiting for him to show himself so I could hit the shards out. It seemed as if time stood still in those few moments. Everything became deathly quiet. I could hear my heart pounding loudly in my head. I could hear my slow, shaky breaths. I could hear his soft chuckling, his soft breaths and his painstakingly slow steps towards me. The wind blew, icy and strong. Then, he took another step forwards. I could see two blood red eyes staring out of the brush. The wind had blown the clouds from blocking the full moon. I could see most of his face, although not very clearly because of the shadows. The two shards were on his forhead, next to each other shining brightly. One maroon marking on the right side of his face and two more on the left side were barely visible. He had long hair surrounding his face that went probably down to his waist. And, was it.....could it be....silver?
