Chapter 2: After the Damage

Kagome sat on her bed, doing her math homework.

"Homework," she grumbled, "is the cruelest thing on the whole planet that teachers make up to make student's lives miserable.  Especially math home work."

Then she laughed.

"I sound like--"

She was going to say Inuyasha, but stopped mid sentence, and furiously scribbled down her answers in her notebook instead.  Finally, she slammed her math book with a flourish and yelled, "Done!"

Kagome pushed the evil books aside and sprawled herself on her bed. 

"Inuyasha," she murmured, "I never got to say goodbye to him… not to anyone.  It was my own foolish stupidity that I believed he'd be there to get me the next day.  But he never came.  I went back to the well to try and go back, but it was as if it never was a portal to the past.  Then I realized that there would be no going back this time.  I was through with that place.  I'd never go back."

"All through the 7 months that have passed, I always found myself planning my next adventure.  And when I remembered that there was no more adventures, I felt empty and depressed."

"I need to stop this!  If I don't know why I can't go back, I swear I'll go mad!  I've been feeling something these past few weeks… maybe… oh my god!!!"

Kagome lept off her bed and ran downstairs.  Sota was watching T.V. as his normal self and when he saw her he said, "One-chan, Inuyasha's never coming back, is he?"

The question was so ironic, considering that she had been thinking about Inuyasha that exact moment, that Kagome was caught off guard.  But she was in a hurry.

"Um… I… uh…hold that thought! I'll answer it in a sec.  Ok?"

Kagome ran outside and made a beeline for the ancient well.  She kicked the mildewy wood panels away and ran down to the well.

"I finally know what I've been feeling.  It wasn't my test…it's the well!  It's…opened up again!"
