Title: Out Of the well

Chapter 1: Down The Well Never to Return

By: Kim Johnston

Inu Yasha takes a breath. The jewel was whole and Naraku dead. Kikyo and Kagome were discussing the jewel. He had to tell Kagome it would never work out. He still loved Kikyo. He could never leave her. "Kagome, can we talk alone?"

"Of course Inu Yasha." Kagome smiles standing up. They head to the well talking as they walk.

"Kagome, I could never leave Kikyo. She... She was and still is my first true love. How could I leave her? And I Know neither of you would agree to-"

"Inu Yasha, I'd never agree to be with you when you were with Kikyo too! That's true but I understand the true love part. I'm not going to interfere. I already made an agreement with Kikyo. I'm going to take the jewel back to my time. And I will never return to this time. I was planning on leaving tomorrow, but I guess today would be better. This way no one can try and take the jewel. I'm going to say goodbye to everyone. Goodbye Inu Yasha." Kagome leaves to go and tell Sango, Shippo, Miroku, Kaede and Kikyo.

"Will you be back momma?" Shippo cries hugging her tightly.

"No, I won't be back Shippo. Ever. I'm sorry Shippo. I'll miss you so much. But I really have to go. It's the best thing for everyone." Kagome cries back and sniffles.

"Then can I go with you?"

"... Of course Shippo." Kagome says after a minute.

"Goodbye Lady Kagome. Be sure to watch out for her Shippo." Miroku hugs Kagome then pats Shippo's back. Behaving him self.

"Goodbye Sango." Kagome hugs her best friend crying on her shoulder.

"Goodbye Kagome." Sango cries back they part and sniffle. Kagome grabs her stuff and tells Kaeda goodbye and thanks her for everything. She sighs looking around and then smiles brightly at Kikyo.

"Goodbye Kikyo. I'm glad I got to finally meet you as you were before. And I'm sorry for any trouble I caused." Kagome rode her bike to the well and then they jumped down into it. They arrive at Kagome's time moments later.

"Things are different here. You'll have to change into a more human form and we'll have to get some paper work and come up with a story as to why you're here. You'll have to go to school and you'll have choirs to do. But before we do all that I want to make sure you understand that you'll never be able to go back there Shippo .Do you understand?"

"Of course Momma." Shippo smiled and nodded." But I don't mind. I have you!"

"Then lets go tell everyone we're home and you're staying here with us from now on."

"Mom! I'm home for good." Kagome hugs her mom. "No more time traveling."

"That's great honey. And who's this little guy?" Neko, Kagome's mom asked.

"I'm Shippo miss" Shippo says sweetly. "Kagome adopted me. She's my new mom."

"Oh, ok. Well then let's get you settled in Shippo. Aren't you just so cute?" Neko asked picking him up and carrying him away.

"Kagome honey, breakfast!" Neko yelled up the steps to her daughter. Kagome rolled on to her back and stared up at the ceiling.

- My name is Higurishi Kagome ex time traveler and jewel shard detector. Now I'm just a normal eleventh grade girl like I always wanted to be. A lot has changed since a month ago when I went down the well never to return to the feudal ages of Japan. Life's so different now that I don't have to go from time to time collecting the shards. I'm not sure if it's a good thing or bad though. But Shippo always reminds me of the adventures we use to have. -

Kagome hurries up and gets dresses before running down the steps to breakfast. She kisses her mothers cheek. "This looks great. Thanks mom."

"Oh honey, Shippo's waiting out side. He's so excited about starting school and getting to be around other kids his age. You use to be that way. I think he's in a hurry..."

"Alright." Kagome says with a smile and grabs a few slices of bread and heads off out the door.

Author's Note: Hello all. I hope you in joyed the first chapter of my story. Its short and I'm sorry about that. But It should get longer when I get the time to write on it. I'd like to admit I've had writers block lately and it drove me crazy. My mind wonders a lot and writing helps me keep it in track. Also I was so annoyed when writing this because of the fact humans are loud creatures. Anyways on with the info on the story, this is a Kagome fan fiction and wont mention the rest of the gang. Unless I decide to do "flash Backs" then you'll hear about them. And I think that's it. Love you all!
