Disclaim: I do not own any of the Inu Yasha characters.
When Kagome reached the other side of the well, she felt at home, truly at home in mind and body. She could feel the power around her from demons to nature. She could also smell all the different scents. Her hearing was more defined and her sigh was sharpened.
She felt a presence coming and knew it was Inu Yasha. She could smell death and dirt on him and figured he was with Kikyou again.
'When will he learn she's not who she used to be. The only reason she took my soul was because I was human at the time. She could have stolen anyone's soul, not just mine. At least now I know I'm not the reincarnation of her.' Thought Kagome.
All of a sudden Inu Yasha jumped out of a tree with Tetsuiga drawn ready to slice Kagome.
"Die demon!" yelled Inu Yasha.
Kagome smirked and held her hand up that created a barrier around her. Inu Yasha's eyes widened as he hit the impenetrable barrier.
"Sit!" yelled Kagome.
"ARGH!"
"What do you think your doing Inu Yasha! You were going to cut me in half even though I came back early and brought you tons of ramen! And this is the thanks I get!" reprimanded Kagome.
"Wha? Kagome? What happened to you? You don't look like Kagome, well maybe a little, but you changed. Who said you could change bitch!" replied Inu Yasha.
"Inu Yasha." Sighed Kagome. "This is the real me. I'm actually older than you. I'll tell you the story as soon as we get to Kaede's. That way I won't have to tell the story more than once."
"Fine, bitch."
"SIT!"

Kagome just told everyone her past
and what happened in the future.
Everyone was shocked to know she
was a legendary immortal, but even more shocked that she was THE
legendary immortal. And that's how she had the jewel. The jewel
Kikyou was burned with was a replica that Naraku created. The
original was more powerful when it was whole again.
"So Kagome...are you gonna stay with us forever?" asked Shippou.
"Um. about that... I've decided to go on my own. And finish the jewel and fulfill my prophecy." Said Kagome hoping they'd understand.
Sango and Miroku knew she wanted to get away from Inu Yasha, but they were worried about her safety. Shippou was upset, but decided he would go with her. Inu Yasha was angry, sad, and confused. Angry that she would leave him when she said she wouldn't, sad that someone he cared about was leaving him, and confused as to why she wanted to leave him.
"Fine bitch, go! We don't need you!" yelled Inu Yasha angry at a tad of hurt in his voice.
Kagome was saddened that he wouldn't even try to convince her to stay.
Sango finally spoke up and said, "If your going, then I want to know you can fight and defend yourself. You must fight me, Miroku and Inu Yasha. Then you may leave."
"Ya know I could defeat you all with a quick spell. Remember, Midoriko gave me her knowledge and training that includes her powers." Kagome said.
With that said, they went outside to spar. Miroku was first. They got into battle stance. Miroku made the first move and swung his staff at her. Kagome dodged easily as her eyes turned a light blue. All of a sudden the sky darkened as rain started to pour. Miroku used his wind tunnel on Kagome to get her to move. She dint even blink. She just stood there and calmly raised her hand to send a burst of wind at him that blew him across the field. Miroku was defeated.
The sky cleared as the sun shone brightly. Sango got up raising Hirokatsu in her battle stance. She threw it and Kagome caught it right away. Without Sango even realizing it, Kagome took her katana and tied her to a tree with a vine.
Last, but not least was Inu Yasha. He pulled Tetsuiga out and aimed it at Kagome. She knew he was looking for the wind scar. So she used her powers to transform into her dog-demon form. She jumped on Inu Yasha and took the Tetsuiga from him.
"Strike three. I win." Smirked Kagome as she changed back into her humanoid form.
Sango, Miroku, and Inu Yasha were all shocked when she transformed. No one thought she was ever that powerful. She might even be more powerful than Sesshoumaru.
"Are you all okay?" asked Kagome. They nodded dumbly. "Good. I didn't want to use a lot of power so I used my easiest attacks. I'm gonna start getting my stuff and don't worry Inu Yasha. I'll leave you most of the ramen." Spoke Kagome.
"Kagome!" cried Shippou. "Will you please take me with you?"
"Um. I guess. I'd feel much better if I knew I could protect you. So lets go my little pup." Smiled Kagome.
"Um. Kagome? Since you called me your little pup. Can I call you Momma?" Asked Shippou with hope in his eyes.
"Of course you can! I would love it if you did!" Beamed Kagome.
They walked to Kaede's to get her things and see her take off. When she said goodbye to Sango and Miroku, she went outside to find Inu Yasha and say goodbye to him as well. She found him sitting in the God-Tree.
"Inu Yasha will you please come down so I can say goodbye." Said Kagome.
"Feh!" said Inu Yasha as he jumped from the tree. "Why are you leaving? I...WE need you to find the shards! How."
"Inu Yasha! I can't believe you! I am going to find the shards, but I'll do it on my own without anyone to protect me. I can take care of myself! I can't believe after all this time you still...YOU still think of me as your SHARD DETECTOR!" yelled Kagome with tears in her eyes.
"Kagome. That's not what I meant. You know you're my best friend, don't you?" asked Inu Yasha.
"How am I supposed to know that when you never tell me." Whispered Kagome.
"I'm...sorry I never told you that. You are so special to me and I just don't understand why you want to leave me. You said you would always stay with me. Why do you have to leave now?" questioned Inu Yasha.
"I can't live like this anymore. I have to learn to live on my own. I have to fulfill my prophecy that has nothing to do with you. I need to rebuild my empire that used to be so great. I need to help others. I need to do something with my life. And being behind you all the time doesn't help my goal. Besides, you love Kikyou, and she can see the shards, too. Go ahead and invite her to your group. Be with her if you must. I'm not going to try to stop you. It's your life. I just don't want you to throw it away for someone so full of hate that might one day betray you. I will not sit around and watch you be with her. I may be strong, but even the strongest ones can break. You shall not do that to me. So I will go. But I will return once in a while to see all of you and to see how you fair. Know this Inu Yasha. I once loved you, and part of me still does, but be careful of a betrayal that shall befall you. That is my warning. Farwell, Inu." Spoke Kagome as she walked away from the only person she ever loved.
