***Last Chapter*** (Not the exact wording but close enough...I hope -_-')

Kagome picked up and unrolled the scroll. "What does it say?" asked Souta, Kagome lifted her gaze from the scroll to look at Souta, "Remember" (Yeah I have a thing for scrolls lol, color me addict)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

***Higurashi Shrine, Modern Era***

"Well that was disappointing." said Souta when no blinding lights filled the room.

Kagome wasn't listening, cause as soon as she had read the scroll to Souta she had been struck...with memories.

They all came rushing back to her, memories of her child hood memories of her powers and how to use them, and most of all…memories of her parents.

Tears sprang to Kagome's eyes as she remembered the last night with her parents. She remembered finding her beautiful elven mother dead lying in a pool of her own blood.

And she remembered the last words with her father. She had to go back. (Yes I did just say that Kagome's mom was and elf BUWAHAHAHAHA...and yes I had that planned from the beginning, it wasn't because of all the votes for Legolas)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

***2 Hours Later, Higurashi Shrine, Modern Era***

Kagome hugged her mom and Souta goodbye. "Do you know when you'll next be back?" Kagome's foster mother asked. Kagome sadly shook her head, "I'm not even sure what I'm looking for, but not matter how long I'm gone I promise to come back someday."

That said Kagome picked up her new black backpack and walked towards the well.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

***On The Other Side Of The Well*** (Sweet god don't kill me people, but Inu has to be knocked out of the story. PLEASE KEEP READING!!!)

Kagome threw her backpack over the edge of the well and climbed out. That's odd Kagome thought, Inuyasha is almost always here to meet me. Kagome shrugged and started to walk towards the village.

(Three guesses as to where her is...if you didn't get it right on the first guess then you lose.)

Kagome was looking up watching the clouds when she saw a soul catcher fly by. (Bet you didn't see that one coming -_-' *coughs*.)

That's one of Kikyo's soul stealers!!! Thought Kagome. Lifting her head again she sniffed the air, "Oh no" she whispered. She smelled death (a.k.a. bitch)...and Inuyasha.

Kagome started to run at her top demon speed in their direction. Kagome came to a stop when she reached a clearing in the middle of the woods.

Standing in the middle of the clearing were Inuyasha and Kikyo locked in an embrace. "Inuyasha" she whispered, Inuyasha with his sensitive hearing turned towards her.

"KIKYOU" he shouted, "GET BEHIND ME!!!" Inuyasha drew his tetsusaiga, "What do you want bitch" he asked.

Kagome's eyes widened, He hasn't recognized my sent? "Inuyasha" Kagome said hesitantly, "It's me...Kagome."

"Feh," sneered Inuyasha, "Your not Kagome, that bitch is in her time, other wise I wouldn't be out here trying to get some from Kikyo."

(ERR WRONG ANSWER! But thanks for playing! ^ . ^)

"SIT!!!" shouted Kagome. Inuyasha's eyes widened as he fell face first to the ground. "Oh shit" he groaned into the ground. Getting up he narrowed his eyes and looked Kagome over.

"Well you certainly don't look like Kagome, not to mention Kagome never wears clothes like those, AND HELL YOU DONT EVEN SOUND LIKE KAGOME!" he shouted.

Kagome looked down, it was true that there was a time when she would never have worn something like this, but now she rather preferred this look.

She was wearing the outfit that her parents had left her, (the one she found in the package) paired with a pair knee high lace up combat boots. (The pants are tucked into the boots.)

Kagome calmly looked back up at him, "I've simply changed that's all."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

***Rewind To About 15 Minutes Ago In Kaede's Village***

*SMACK!* "HENTAI!!!" yelled a once again infuriated Sango.

Shippo who was sitting at the base of a near by tree was starting to roll his eyes when he smelled a familiar sent. "KAGOME'S BACK!!!" he gleefully shouted.

Forgetting all about Miroku, Sango happily turned around and started running towards the well.

When they all reached the well they were surprised to find no one there, "Are you sure that it was Kagome's sent that you picked up?" Miroku questioned Shippo.

"I'm positive!!!" shouted Shippo, "Maybe Inuyasha beat us to her and already took her back to the village" Miroku stated.

Lifting his head he sniffed the air, "ah crap" he groaned, (lol he's been around Inuyasha to much) Inuyasha and Kagome are in a clearing not to far into the woods.

"Well whats wrong with that?" asked Sango, "Kikyo's with them" growled Shippo.

Sango's eyes widened before she grabbed Miroku's hand and started to run towards Kirara, "COME ON SHIPPO!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

***Fast Forward Back To Where We Just Were In The Clearing***

Inuyasha growled but was interrupted when Shippo came running into the clearing and jumped into Kagome's arms.

"KAGOME!!! YOUR BACK!!!" he cried, noticing that something was different he looked Kagome up and down, looking back up at her face he smiled.

"You've changed" he chirped, "I like it!" (NOT THAT WAY!!! GOD THAT WOULD JUST BE WRONG!!! MINDS OUT OF THE GUTTERS PEOPLE!!!)

Inuyasha blinked in surprise, "how do you know that that's really Kagome?" he asked. Shippo just rolled his eye's, "Well first of all she didn't change enough that I wouldn't be able to recognize her, and besides she still smells the same."

Inuyasha sniffed the air and his jaw dropped, "your right" he whispered, "she is Kagome." Inuyasha gulped, "Uhhh Kagome about this whole Kikyo thing," he said as he stepped away from Kikyo and shoved her to the ground, "I didn't really mean it...I was just trying to find out if she had any shards."

Kagome gave Inuyasha a very dubious look, "Sorry Inuyasha but there's not a snowballs chance in hell that I'm believing that one."

Turning around she started to walk away, not wanting Inuyasha to see the tear the spilled down her cheek. "Goodbye Inuyasha" she whispered.

"FINE!!!" Screeched Inuyasha, "BE THAT WAY!!! WHY WOULD I NEED YOU WHEN I HAVE KIKYOU!!!"

"SIT!!!" Kagome shouted before running off with her demon speed.
