Hey everyone! Hope you liked the first chapter. Since it's my first one, I want to finish a few more chapters before moving on to another story. Just so you all know, this isn't going to be a novel length fanfic, but it will be... at least 5 chapters. Enjoy!

All hail Takahashi-san! CREATOR OF INUYASHA! XD

When Kagome opened her eyes, she was still at the bottom of the well staring up. She could see the blue sky and the clouds; she'd gone back in time. Sitting up quickly, she checked her pockets for the bottle that had her shards.

"Oh no!" She said, "I knew I had them with me!"

"Looking for these?" Suteru leaned over and looked down into the well, waving the bottle above Kagome.

"Give those back!" Kagome demanded. She started to climb out as fast as she could. Suteru stood straight up and backed away as Kagome tossed herself over the edge of the well only to hit a stone pathway. "Hmm? What's this?" She stood up and looked around. "Th... this isn't the Feudal Era..." It was more of a large clearing rather then a forest. She looked over towards the Sacred Tree only to see that there were stairs leading upwards into the village with shrine pillars much like the ones that were at her house.

"No, it is the Feudal Era. Just not the one you're used to." Suteru had a dirty smile on her face.

"You! What's going on here! I demand to know!!" Kagome yelled. She reached out to grab the shards from Suteru. Without hesitation, Suteru leapt back and did midair flips, landing perfectly on her toes.

"This way, Kagome. I will explain everything..." Kagome had realized that she had no choice, in order to return, she'd need those shards. Reluctantly, she followed after Suteru as they walked into the forest and down to a small stream. Suteru tucked Kagome's shards neatly into a pocket in her kimono and sat down. She then took out the shard she had and turned to Kagome. "Sit down."

Kagome obeyed and sat. "Okay, explain. What do you mean by 'the Feudal Era that I'm not used to'?"

"See this shard?" Upon closer inspection, Kagome finally understood that it wasn't a real shard. "This is a shard from my world, the world that would've happened if Naraku hadn't interfered."

Kagome gasped. "Naraku? How do you know about him?"

"He's the reason I'm here. No, no. Don't get the wrong idea, I'm not his minion or anything." She closed her eyes and sighed. "This is 550 years ago, Kagome. We have four days until Kikyo bounds InuYasha to the tree and ends up dying."

Kagome's heart pounded when she thought about it. "And... you want me to stop Naraku? I can't do it alone!"

"Yes you can, that's why I brought you back and no one else. Besides, Naraku isn't as powerful as he is in the Feudal Era that you know. Anyways, as I was saying, with this shard I was able to come back to this time but I may only do so once. This thing is useless now." She crushed it in her hand and continued. "Four days, Kagome. We'll get some arrows and- "

"But wait! Why? Can't things go on the way they are?"

"Everyone's suffered so much, wouldn't it be nice to end it all here and now?"

"But, would I be able to return to InuYasha, Sango, and the others?" Kagome's heart beat even faster. "I don't want to give that all up! I can't!"

"So it's about what you want? Not what was meant to be? You defied fate. It wasn't supposed to be like this."

"I don't get it! How does all this affect you at all!?" Kagome yelled. Silence overcame both of them and Suteru suddenly became angry.

"Don't you dare ask me that! It's not any of your business!!!" After taking a few breaths, she continued. "What will you do? Do you want them to suffer?"

"Well... no. No, defiantly not." Kagome looked down.

"Very well." Suteru looked up at the sky. It was just about sunset and that would only leave them with three more days. "We'll fetch some food, weapons, and I'll get information tomorrow. Okay?"

All Kagome could do was nod her head. She continued to stare down at the ground. InuYasha... you can't save me this time, can you? She forced a smile. He wouldn't forget me, would he? The grin she had slowly faded and became tears. She turned over, crawled under a tree and tried to sleep. Does he even miss me?

Elsewhere, InuYasha had other things on his mind. He walked up to the well and looked in it. "Looks okay to me." He said. Miroku walked up and looked in it as well.

"Still, maybe you should go check on Kagome, InuYasha."

"Why should I? She's probably still mad, and all she'll do is whine and tell me to sit some more!" He cringed at the thought of it. When he noticed he was blushing at the thought of Kagome, he turned away from Miroku and looked off in the distance.

Miroku sighed. "I hate to have to do this..."

"Do what?" InuYasha began to turn when Miroku's staff came flying towards him, knocking him down into the well.

"We'll be at Kaede's InuYasha, don't stay there to long!" Miroku said sarcastically.

"MIROKU! YOU BASTARD!" He called as he fell into the well and out the other side. When he sat up, he was back in Kagome's time. He looked around when he smelt the stench of a demon, though it was a rather familiar scent. He then stood up and jumped out of the well. Without even knocking, he walked right into Kagome's house and looked around. "Anyone home?" He called. Sota came running towards him waving his arms.

"InuYasha! Kagome brought you back?!"

InuYasha blinked. "What're you talking about?"

"Kagome went back to your time didn't she? I saw her in the shrine and then she was gone." Sota looked up at him.

"What? You mean... she...?" InuYasha was more puzzled then ever. Does that mean that Kagome... no... something must've happened when she warped back to my time. He turned quickly. "Yeah, she's fine, I just uh..." He patted Sota on the head. "See you around kid." He ran out the door and back to the well. Kagome...He jumped in and right back out into the Feudal Era and ran right back to Kaede's hut.
