Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha so for all of you who think I do, you are
desperately wrong. I am poor, if I owned Inu then I wouldn't be so just
read my story.

Feudal Future
Chapter Two: Home?

Kagome shielded her eyes from the sudden light that engulfed her. She dept her
eyes closed as she floated through the light. She only opened them when she felt her legs
collide with something jagged.
She noticed it was dark outside as she gazed first up, then down to her legs which
were bleeding slightly where the rocks had dug into her flesh. She cursed under her
breath and stood up. Looking around, Kagome realized she was standing in the clearing
where she had been battling alongside her friends.
Where were her friends now? Were they okay? Kagome was finding it hard to
remember much after Erutuf had suddenly appeared. She looked around again. A few
trees lay rotting where they fell. She realized there was no longer grass growing in the
clearing. All that was visible were dirt and rocks.
Kagome began walking, the village shouldn't be too far away, maybe half a day's
walk. Slowly, but steadily, she made her way to the village.

She came across the God tree and knew she was near the village. The sun had
started its slow rise into the sky. Kagome quickened her pace. She was so close to her
destination.
She came out of the forest and cried out in surprise at what she saw. The village
lay in ruins. Some of the huts were aflame, whether on accident or on purpose, Kagome
couldn't tell.
She ran forward, bodies were everywhere. She ran forward into Kaede's hut. It
was the only building still standing. Kagome turned around and screamed. Kaede lay on
her back with a dagger in her belly. Kagome ran to Kaede and lay her head on her knees.
She was gasping for air as she attempted to pull the dagger from her wound.
Kagome grabbed the accursed weapon and, as gently as possible, pulled it from
within the elders stomach. She then ripped the sleeve off of her shirt and put it over the
wound, pushing down in an attempt to stop the bleeding. Kaede looked up into her eyes
and a look of recognition and surprise struck her at once.
"Kagome?" she managed to say through her pain, "ye are alive?" her eyes closed
as she coughed and blood ran from her mouth.
"No! Kaede, don't leave me," she cried out with tears in her eyes, "I can't do this
alone." Kaede opened her eyes and offered a weak smile.
"Find your friends, they will help ye," she forced herself to say before she
released a few more ragged breaths before they finally came to an end.
"No, you can't be dead," Kagome said through her tears, "You were the first
person to trust me after I fell through the well." She paused for a moment.
'That's it, the well, I can go home for a while, at least until I clear my head,' with
that, she walked towards the door. Before she got out, she saw her bow and arrow,
grabbed it, walked out the door, and headed toward the well. When she got there, she fell
into a state of shock. The well had been cut apart, the wood splintered in odd directions
where it had been broken. She ran forward, dropping the now remembered dagger at her
feet. Looking down into the well, Kagome realized that areas in the well had caved in.
She cursed under her breath. She had to get away from here before she went
crazy. In desperation, she threw herself down the well. To her horror, she was not
engulfed by the desired blue light that would transport her to her own time. She hit the
rocky ruins beneath her and cried out in pain. Angry tears fell down her face as she
slammed her fists into the wall.
'This can't be happening,' she thought to herself, 'I cannot be trapped in this
hell!' Kagome had seen dead bodies before, had seen the results of wars, but this was
different somehow. She had talked to these people, known some of them since she had
fallen down the well. Even if, at first, they did not trust her, she had grown close to them
all.
She climbed out of the well, grabbed the dagger and bow and arrows, and started
walking. Where could she go? She remembered Kaede's last words. Find her friends?
She had no idea where to begin her search, so she just kept walking. She'd find
something eventually.
Suddenly, Kagome heard noises as if a battle was occurring nearby. She locked in
on where the noises were coming from, northeast of where she stood. She quickened her
pace and found a large bird demon attacking two humans and two animals. She smiled as
she recognized them. Sango, Miroku, Shippo, and, a transformed, Kilala. She notched an
arrow and released it in a swirl of pink light. It was headed straight for the demons heart.
