Disclaimer: Sadly, I still do not own it and I never will.
Time to walk away. What right do I have to interrupt them? Let them be. He has chosen, so I must accept that. Be happy with her Inu-Yasha. Where do I go now? Home or the village? Village. If he wants me gone I will go, but I wish to complete the quest.
Earlier:
"Mom! I'm home!" I yell into my house. "Hello dear. What are you doing back?" she asks inquisitivly. "Do you know what day it is mom? Do you remember what happened on this day one year ago?" "Oh, honey. Are you finally ready to go back? Are you sure you can handle it?" she looks at me with concern. Am I? I'm not sure. The only way for me to find out is to go see. "Yes mom. I believe I am finally ready." "Good luck sweetie. Be strong." She smiles and hugs me. "Thanks." I whisper to her back as she leaves the room.
I go upstairs to change and compose myself. It would be my first time back since. Okay breathe. I can do this. I run downstairs, grab my keys, and drive off to what I hope will be an understanding.
Present:
I arrive at the village, looking like the Ghost of Christmas Past I'm sure. "Hey Kagome, whats wrong?" my best friend Sango asks. I crack a smirk. I figured on these kinds of comments. "I'm fine Snago. Just tired I guess. Yesterday was a very draining day for me." I assure her. Great, I am lying to my best friend.
"Will you tell me why?" she asks. I bite my lip. Can I bring myself to tell someone what I still cannot bear to tell myself? Even after I went back? "Sango, I-I-I'm just not sure I can tell anyone yet. I mean, I can't even tell myself yet." "I understand. Whenever you are ready will you tell me?" "Of course Sango." I breathe a sifh of relief. I am so glad she understood. "By the way Kagome, where is Inu-Yasha? I haven't seen him all day." She asks me imploringly.
I suck in my breathe. "I do not know, probably off making out with the dead whore." I reply as calmly as possible. "What!? He wouldn't do that!" Sango replied shocked. "Oh, I believe he would." I resond casually. "Well well, speak of the devil." I remark as Inu-Yasha walks into the hut with Kikyo on his arm. "I have an anouncement." Inu-Yasha stated. "Kikyo will be joining our team from now on. No arguments. Kagome, please do not leave. With Kikyo in the state she is in, she cannot sense the jewel shards very well. Also, when the jewel is complete, you will wish her back to life." He looked around at us. Miroku, Sango, Shippo, and Kaede look at him like he has grown another head then look to me like I should do something.
I stand up calmly and face the group and Inu-Yasha. I refuse to look at Kikyo. "Inu-Yasha, I had no intention of leaving unless you insisted. I was the one who shattered the jewel and have made a promise to bring it back together. Yes, I will wish Kikyo back to life if that is what you truly want when the time comes. After my duties are comleted is when I shall return to my time permenently." I sit back down as I finish my speech. Are you happy now Inu-Yasha? Prehaps my walls are not working as well as I wanted to believe.
"No Kagome! She can't come with us!" Shippo wailed as he threw himself into my arms. "Yes Kagome, why are you allowing her to accompany us?" Miroku inquird. Snago just stared at me. "Guys, who am I to argue against true love? If this is what he truly wants then so be it. Now, can we all get to sleep? I'm sorry Kikyo, but I have no extra blankets." I walk to my pack and set up my sleeping bag. As soon as everyone was asleep I snuck out to my favorite sleeping spot. I let my recolections flow.
