Kagome had finally made her decision. She walked to the well when she was sure nobody was around and hopped down. "Kikyo-san said this was the right decision...but is it true?" Kagome thought.
She climbed the ivy vine up to ground level and sighed once more. It was spring here, and she loved it. The grass was youthful and green, and the flowers spread their pollen through the forest and the fragrances—they were wonderful! And also the beautiful butterfly flew about over the pine trees. And Kagome knew that this was her home, this was where she belonged.
"Kagome," somebody said. Kagome turned, and saw the patriarchal and gentle miko. Like a child, Kagome dashed into her older friend's arms with warm gladness and almost cried.
"Oh, Kaede-bachan...I'm so happy to be here!" Kagome whispered into where her heart would be.
"And I am happy to be the one to receive you...Kagome...Inuyasha is looking for you. He will be with Sango by now, I presume. Go north. And do you have your new...what is that word? Bike, yet?"
"No. I left it. It's kind of heavy to take from the well up," Kagome answered. Now that she thought about it, she had left nearly everything she needed at home. What a simpleton she was.
"No matter. We can call upon somebody for help...now..." Kaede whistled softly, and although the note itself was soft, the noise went far and wide.
A whizzing orange ball came to them, and Kagome choked when she saw Shippou, after three years of augmentation, and she was hurt—hurt how much he looked like Inuyasha. The orange hair had grown and he wore it loose—and a haori! His eyes were homicidal and golden, and the tail was sleek and much longer, not the short bushy thing that he had worn—hence his name, Shippou.
"Kagome-chan!" Shippou cheeped, and she knew he was the same one and he cried into her shirt and she cried into his hair.
"Shippou, take Kagome back to Sango, and...Kagome? Tell Sango that she should not hurt him anymore...if she is to give him a taste of his own medicine, then...she should not. The one she gave him is bitter enough."
Shippou metamorphosed into a real fox, and Kagome reminisced of the time when she, Inuyasha, Myoga, and Shippou had fought against Hiten and Manten, the Thunder Brothers...and the pelt of Shippou's kitsune father. "On top of me!"
Kagome surmounted, and she found to her joy that he could carry her as far as he wished, and where she wished to go was where Sango was.

Inuyasha and Miroku had removed the blocking scrolls, and before climbing in, Inuyasha looked back at his best friend. "Miroku, are you sure you don't want to come?"
Miroku shook his head. "My being there will not help. Inuyasha, you are the strongest person I know. You can do it by yourself. You aren't that arrogant, stuck-up child anymore."
Choleric as Inuyasha was at being called an 'arrogant, stuck-up child', he knew Miroku was right. "Go. Sango should be worrying by now."
"Oh...and about that...she's just angry, Inuyasha...she's just angry," Miroku said, meaning the cuff of the hiraikatsu. Miroku started to mount his brown horse.
"I would be too, believe me," Inuyasha replied, and he departed. Miroku smiled, almost sadly, and rode off.

Inuyasha crawled out of the nokoro, ki poignant like crazy. He walked to Kagome's house, found her window open, and jumped inside. She was not there. He glanced outside. It was night. She should be home by now. The door opened. The hanyou's heart pounded, and the nervousness retreated when he saw it was just Sota.
"I...Inu-no-niichan..." the little boy whispered. Inuyasha scrutinized his face for meaning, found nothing, and stepped closer.
"Hey shrimp...where's your sister? I...I want...I mean...I need to see her," Inuyasha said, his silvery bangs covering his eyes. If Sota had seen them, he would have been enraptured and would have told Inuyasha that he didn't know where his sister was, but he could not see them, and so he acted sour.
Sota cast his eyes on the floor and walked out the door. Inuyasha watched as he left, and a tear fell to the ground. "If...if he's abandoned me...Kagome...it's too much to hope for...I'm a fool..."
