"I think a demon can too but I doubt he or she can purify the shard." Kagome nodded, 'Naraku that bastard! He did this I am sure of it! He figured out how to control my mom with the shard he has, he planned it all along! Then he could kill InuYasha easily without me around! But why would he want me back, unless he already killed Inuyasha and the others and is after me now! How could I be so blind and stupid! Inuyasha.' a wash of pain filled Kagome's heart and tears came down her face, 'I will kill him, now he has done it! He won't kill another living soul now that I am around.'
'My mom must have fought the power over her when she saw Morgan in danger and reacted now she must be her normal self-right? That is why she acted like the mother I new!' Kagome thought.
"Kagome? Are you alright?"
"Oh yea, Morgan I have to ask you something."
"What is it?"
" I need to get out of the hospital as soon as possible."
"Sure, I'll do that right now" Morgan started to skip to the door to tell a nurse that Kagome wanted to leave until she added one more thing.
"I was wondering if you could come with me to the Feudal Era because I am going back to avenge someone." Kagome told her with a cold voice.

Chapter 9 Just The Start
Morgan froze in her place and her face got terribly pale. "Feudal Japan? Me go with you? But what about your mother?" she asked with a wavy voice.
"My grandpa and brother will take care of her," Kagome pulled out the Shikon No Tama, the big ball warm against her fingers as she held it, "the Shikon No Tama has turned back to its normal color. I think it was me making it all dark like a dark evil marble because I felt so lonely and scared, but now I know I have to return to Feudal Japan and finish what I have to do, you understand?"
'I feel the end coming soon,' Morgan thought as she reached for her Shikon Shard. To her surprise it was back to it's normal color. What Kagome said, was it true, that she really made the Jewel grow dark? 'It is in Feudal Japan when one of us will die.'
"Don't go," Morgan begged coming close to tears, but she stood where she was, "Please Kagome, this isn't like you! You might. . . might."
"Yea I know, but I must for all the people that bastard killed that I loved. Morgan you don't understand how I feel." Kagome turned away from her best friend, 'this is the way it has to be.'
"But if you die? Then I will have no friends I will be lonely again! No one understands me! Everyone thinks I am evil just because I don't cry on front of him or her and I fight back and I never smile. They think I am evil!" Morgan started crying again, but this time she looked down at the floor. She didn't want to cry in front of Kagome again, "You are the only real friend I ever had!" This couldn't be happening not to her. What was she going to do? Kagome her only friend was going to leave and throw her life away. Maybe she didn't know how she felt, but Kagome couldn't go, she just couldn't!
"You don't know what other people think!"
"Oh yea I do. It's a feeling!-"
"That is why I want you to come with me, Morgan. You are very skilled in archery," Kagome said looking at Morgan with warm brown eyes. She wanted Morgan to help her on her quest, to help her fight Naraku, but would it be enough. Kagome felt like she could kill Naraku if he was in front of her because of all the rage and sadness she felt in her heart. She was going to kill him.
"No, you're wrong. I will not help you Kagome, I am not stupid and I am not going to die if you want to then go, but I will not help you at all! I hope you make the right decision" With that Morgan left tears burning her eyes, 'I am sorry, Kagome.' Morgan slammed the door behind her and ran down the hall toward the nearest exit, she really was a coward.
She watched Morgan leave. The words stung, but it didn't change her mind, not at all. 'I am sorry, Morgan, but now InuYasha needs me and I will do this for him and for Sango, Miroku, Kirara and Shippou!' Kagome got out of bed. She will escape after all that was the only option available now.
Morgan gasped for air and stopped where she was, panting. She had run all the way from the hospital to a place that she didn't even recognize. 'First Kouga leaves me,' She thought, 'now my only best friend is leaving! Why did this have to happen?'
Trees with little leaves surrounded her. It seemed like a lonely place and a place that no one had dared to enter. There were a lot of bushes around too. Some with buds and flowers already bloomed with life. Morgan heard a rush of water and she followed the sound whereever it led. She needed time to think to herself and this was the right place to do it. Her hand brushed tree branches until she was face to face with a small waterfall. It was small and the sound the waterfall made when it touched the water was pleasant and relaxing. The girl looked into the water, leaning a little and saw her reflection in the clean and clear waters.
She noticed she had long black hair, dark brown eyes, and long eyes lashes. The brown eyes looked lonely. 'That's me. I haven't really changed all that much,' Morgan thought.
She looked at her reflection for a few more seconds and sighed. She had to face up to reality. She was a girl with no parents because they died in a car crash when she was 12 years old, her foster parents were never home and never really loved her, Kouga was the boy she fell madly in love with and that was when she first discovered love, but she had lost him, and now she was going to lose her best friend. Was she going to wait around like this?
"No! I must get to the Feudal Era before Kagome!" Morgan yelled out loud with full determination in her strong voice. She looked up at the warm blue sky, but how was she going to get there before Kagome? And what was she going to do when she got there?
'First thing is first,' she thought looking into the water again. She had a black shirt and skirt with a red coat over it; she was going to face her fears now. She was going to the Feudal Era. With that thought Morgan walked out of the Forest. She didn't know how she made it out of there but as soon as she did she ran home, well not really home just the place she lived in for about five years, and that house would never be her real home. She didn't know where she belonged yet, but she hoped she would find out soon because that was one of the best things of life knowing where you truly belong.
Kagome took off her top and threw it on her bed. She put on her old school uniform instead and it surprised her to know that it still fit her. She combed her long raven hair and the put on her shoes. "Done!" Kagome told herself turning to the mirror inside her room. Kagome starred back at her with a kind of sadness in her eyes, but at the same time she could see anger in them.
'Well, I guess it is time to go,' Kagome thought grabbing her old bow and quiver. It had been a long time since she had actually touched it, she actually felt lucky because in one point in time when she came to her new house she actually wanted to get rid of it and she almost did. The raven- haired girl headed for the door but hesitated when she touched the doorknob. 'Should I call Morgan?' Her mind was making her uneasy about that, but her heart said something else. Kagome turned the knob on her door her heart racing as she walked down the steps and out the door. 'Inuyasha. . .'
~*~
I looked up and realized that Inuyasha had stopped walking and the well was right there ready for me, but I was not ready for it. I looked up at Inuyasha and he stared at me, into my eyes, and into my soul.
"Well I guess that this is goodbye," Inuyasha said, but then I couldn't keep my tears inside my eyes as he said goodbye. The word echoed in my head, 'Goodbye, this is goodbye for good' I thought. Tears fell from my eyes. One after another and I couldn't stop them. I looked down unable to look up.
"I.I.will.miss you Inuyasha," I told him then I felt his arms wrap around my body.
~*~
Kagome waved her free hand in the air as cars flew right past her. The people in the cars looked at her as if she was weird or crazy because of the bow and arrows she had with her, but Kagome ignored them. She felt little bits of rainfall on her nose and hair. A taxi stopped in front of her and she went inside it.
"Please take me to this place," Kagome told the man who was driving the Taxi. She gave him a piece of paper with her old address, "I have yen and I will pay for the whole ride."
The man nodded as he took the paper. His eyes widened just looking at it. "Miss, this is a thousand MILES away! Are you sure you have the money?" He asked her with a quizzical look on his face. Kagome just nodded.
"You're lucky I even know where this is I used to live around there when I was young. . ." The man started telling her a whole story about his child life as he moved the taxi onto the road. Her hand reached into her shirt and she pulled out her jewel, it was still warm.
Now after a few years she was going home, to her real home.
As rain turned the sky dark.
