Lost and Forgotten

By Nathaly U.

Chapter 1-Home again

Kagome looked into her knapsack with dismay as she noticed she was running low on clean clothes and toothpaste. She, Inuyasha, Sango, Miroku, Shippo and Kilala had been searching for Jewel Shards, as usual, when she had stopped to pull out her sweater and had noticed her lack of clothes.

Kagome was in the Feudal era, and had only been gone from Modern Japan for around seventeen days, and already her supplies were running low.

My, it is hard to keep your clothes clean when you are fighting demons day after day, Kagome thought. Inuyasha is going to have another one of his fits when I tell him I must go back to my era…he hates it when I leave, he wants me to stay here so I can help with hunting the Shikon Jewel Shards……..

"Inuyasha," Kagome called timidly. Inuyasha turned around to face her, Sango, Miroku and Shippo all stopped to look too.

"What?" He asked; he voice always seemed to have a sharp tone to it.

"I must go back to my era again soon," Kagome explained, bracing herself for Inuyasha's tantrum. And sure enough, here it came…

"What!" Inuyasha shouted. "Already? Kagome, you have hardly stayed here for a week!"

"I have so!" Kagome shot back. "I have so!"

"Why do you have to go back anyway?" Inuyasha asked his anger showing clearly in his voice.

"Because I am running low on clothes and toothpaste!" Kagome shouted. "Why do you always have to make such a scene?"

"Why do you always have to go back?" Inuyasha bellowed. "We need you here! Not in your damn era! Besides, you don't need your damn clothing and that mint-in-a-bottle stuff!"

"Yes, Kagome, Inuyasha is right." Miroku agreed, voicing his opinion. "Besides, if you are not wearing clothes, it is fine with me." Sango sighed, and automatically bonked Miroku a good one with her boomerang. Miroku tumbled forward, rubbing his head. "Hey! What was that for? I was just stating my opinion!"

"That was for being a pervert! For being yourself!" Sango answered. "Besides, no one asked for your opinion you pervert!"

Miroku shrugged. "I don't see how I am a pervert." Miroku replied calmly as his had made its way around Sango's waist and was placed on her butt. Sango's eyebrow twitched.

"I do." She answered angrily, and slapped Miroku across his face, giving him what looked like a painfully permanent red mark on his face.

"Hello!" Inuyasha yelled. "Can we please get back to the subject?"

"Yes, can we?" Kagome asked. "I have to get home Inuyasha, and you know that!"

"No you don't!" Inuyasha thundered. "You don't! Then we will have to put off hunting for the shard while you are gone!"

"Inuyasha," Shippo sighed, making his way into the conversation. "Will you ever grow up and let her go?"

Inuyasha looked at Shippo, his eyes wild with anger. "You are only saying that because you want Kagome to bring you back treats!"

"So?" Shippo asked. "What's wrong with wanting a treat?"

After what seemed like hours of arguing, Inuyasha reluctantly gave in and let Kagome go home. "Fine," He had sighed, and so the whole group had went back to the portal that transported Kagome to her era.

This portal didn't look like anything much. It was just an old crumbling well called the 'Bone Eater's Well'. Worn out vines wrapped themselves around the well, and the well was dusty. It was hidden in a forest called "Inuyasha's Forest'. It was there, that Inuyasha had been pinned to a tree for fifty years, until Kagome had come and set him free.

Inuyasha, Miroku, Sango, Shippo and Kilala were crowded around the well, saying their goodbyes to Kagome.

"Good-bye, Kagome," Sango smiled cheerfully. "Be back soon!"

"Good-bye….." Miroku smiled slyly as he reached for her butt. But Kagome was quick and slapped his hand away.

"Good-bye Sango," Kagome smiled back and nodded her head good-bye to Miroku. "Bye."

"Bye-bye Kagome!" Shippo exclaimed, jumping into her arms to give her a hug.

"Bye Shippo," Kagome replied, hugging him back.

"You won't forget my sweets, will you?" He asked.

Kagome let out a hearty laugh. "Oh no, of course not!" Shippo smiled and jumped out of her arms.

"Good-bye Inuyasha," Kagome smiled.

"Yeah…sure…whatever…" He rolled his eyes. "Just been back soon."

Kagome jumped in and was relieved when she climbed out of the well and found that she was in her family's shrine. She struggled out of the well and inhaled deeply the scent of the musty cheddar wood. She was home.
