Chapter 12: Kagome's Wish

Kagome was in such a hurry that she almost fell many times and when she got to her room she ripped open the drawer that held the Shikon no Tama. She held it carefully in her hands. Kaede and Sango had followed her as fast as they could. They arrived in the room a few minutes after Kagome did. Kagome turned to Kaede.

"I'm ready. I know what I want to wish for," she turned to Sango, "And I know it's the right one." Kagome smiled. Both Sango and Kaede smiled back. Kaede started to explain how to make a wish on the jewel.

"First you need to concentrate on your wish. It helps if you close your eyes. Now. You must speak to the jewel your wish." Kaede explained.

"Shikon no Tama. Please hear me and grant my wish. I wish that Sango and I could go back to earth and live the rest of our lives there as normal teenagers without losing any of the memories of knowledge we have gained from this. Please grant my wish."

Kagome felt something warm surround her. She opened her eyes and saw that she and Sango were wrapped inside a blue, purple and pink wind. Sango was looking at her in shock. She mouthed the question 'Why?' Kagome just smiled. She closed her eyes again thinking of what was to come. She took a deep breath and smiled even more. She felt her feet touch the floor. She opened her eyes and they were standing right where they had died. Kagome was in Inu Yasha's yard right in front of the tree she had hit. Sango was a few feet away by the now bent lamppost. They looked at each other and smiled in amazement that it had worked. They heard a door open near by. They both looked in the direction it had come in. It was from Inu Yasha's house. And standing in the doorway was Inu Yasha, Miroku, and Shippo. all of them in shock. The two girls just smiled. Kagome started giggling. Miroku looked at Kagome and remembered the question she had asked him before she vanished. Inu Yasha was the first to take a step. He slowly walked over to Kagome.

"Are you really here? You aren't going to disappear on me again, are you?" he asked. Kagome shook her head.

"I don't plan on it. But we need to go somewhere very important," she said looking at Sango. "We'll see you guys tomorrow in school." Kagome called out as she jogged over to Sango. Kagome grabbed her arm and dragged her off. They both waved as they ran off.

"Where are we going, Kagome?" Sango asked.

"The one place I haven't been able to go the whole time I was here." Kagome answered. They ran up a steep hill. Then Sango recognized the path they were taking. They were going to Kagome's home.

They ran through the door.

"MOM! SOUTA! GRANDPA! I'M HOME!" Kagome called out as she ran through the house. Sango was standing in the doorway.

"Kagome! I hear some sound at the temple!" she called into the house to her friend. The two girls ran out to the temple and sure enough, there they were. Kagome stopped. She was so happy to see her family again. She slowly walked up to them. She kneeled on the ground behind her mother and hugged her. Her mother froze in surprise. Souta turned to see why his mom had frozen. That's when he saw Kagome.

"Sis? Is it really you?" he asked. Kagome let go of her mom and smiled at her brother.

"You bet it is little bro." Kagome said with a smile. She winked at her brother. Their mom turned around, tears in her eyes. When she saw Kagome kneeling right next to her she began to cry even more. She hugged her daughter as tight as she could.

"It's okay mom. I'm home. And I'm never leaving again." Kagome said soothingly.

"But. . . But how?" their grandpa stuttered.

"You wouldn't believe me." Kagome chuckled.

*********************************

The next stop was Sango's home. They did the same thing that they did at Kagome's. They searched through the house and ended up finding them out in the yard. Sango went over and greeted her family while Kagome stood off to the side and watched.

The girls decided to spent that night together at Kagome's. On the way there they were stopped by the boys, Inu Yasha and Miroku. Inu Yasha pulled Kagome aside and Miroku stayed with Sango.

"Um. . . Sango? I was wondering. . ."Miroku stuttered. "Would you. . . would you consider being my girlfriend?" Sango put her hands up to her mouth and gasped.

A few yards away from them Inu Yasha and Kagome were watching. Kagome smiled for her friend.

"Say yes. I know you want to. Just say it." Kagome whispered. Inu Yasha chuckled. Kagome looked at him.

"And just what is so funny?" she asked.

"You are." Inu Yasha said. With that he pulled her close and embraced her.

After many moments of silence Sango started to nod.

"Really?" Miroku asked, surprised.

"Yes. Yes. I'd love to Miroku." Sango said with a smile. With that they hugged each other. Many people passed by that evening, all of them giving the four teenagers skeptical looks, wondering what in the world they were doing. Non of the teenagers cared what other people were thinking. They were all just happy that they were all alive and on the same planet. They said their good-byes for the night and went their separate ways.

The next day at school Kagome and Sango walked into the classroom laughing. When everyone heard them they looked up. One of the girls came up to them.

"Miaka. I thought you went home." Kagome looked at her with a confused look on her face. Inu Yasha and Miroku heard this. They looked at Kagome and Sango, waiting to see what Kagome was going to say.

"Miaka? Who's Miaka?" Kagome asked. "I'm Kagome."

"Kagome?"

"Did you hear that?"

"I thought she was dead?"

"It can't be Kagome."

"This has to be some trick."

"But isn't that Sango next to her?" Kagome looked at her friends. They all smiled and Kagome winked.
