To Kagome, time seemed to pass by so quickly. It had been a year since Kagome had encountered Inuyasha. She still hadn't gotten over it though. She missed her friends so much.

Kagome, now in high school, looked at her calendar that hung inside her locker. She pointed her finger on the 14th of September.

"Inuyasha..."Kagome felt tears stream down her cheeks. Exactly a year ago on that day was the day Kagome had told Inuyasha to stay out of her life...forever. She never forgotten that day ever since.

Kagome closed her locker door slowly giving it a slight push to close. She walked to lunch and met up with her friends Sakura and Hikaru.

"Hey, Kagome. Whats wrong?"Sakura asked. Kagome sighed upsettingly and looked at her friends when she sat down.

"...Nothing..."Kagome's voice softened. Hikaru gasped lightly.

"I know what it is! You're still thinking of your old boyfriend! The one that left you a while back! The one that you told us about!" Kagome didn't say anything and tried to choke back tears.

"Do you still have feelings for him, Kagome?" Sakura asked waiting for her to answer.

"I...don't know...urr! What should I do? I feel so bad saying those hurtful words to him! We haven't seen eachother for a year...he must really hate me..."Kagome rubbed her eyes,"To tell you the truth...I miss him...a lot."

And my other friends too...Kagome thought. Miroku, Sango, Shippo and everyone else appeared in her head.

"Ano...you should confront him and tell him that you're really sorry,"Hikaru said resting her head on her hand.

"But...what if he doesn't accept my apologie?"Kagome asked raising her head towards her two friends.

"Ano...you gave it your best shot. Plus you've been carrying that guilt on your shoulders for a year now! You need to drop the guilt and just tell him, Kagome!"Sakura said, her voice was filled with positive attitude. Kagome sighed upsettingly and nodded slowly.

That night, Kagome sat in bed thinking of what her friends said earlier today. They reminded her of her old friends back in middle school. Kagome arose from bed and looked out her window at the well.

"Shippo, Miroku, Sango...Inuyasha..."Kagome clenched her hand against her chest. She thought for a while and had made a decision.

"Kagome, are you sure you want to go back?"Kagome's grandfather asked handing her her bookbag later the next day.

"Hai, I'm sure,"Kagome nodded her head and faced her family,"Well goodbye everyone, I'll see you in a few days."Kagome waved goobye to her family and jumped into the well.

"Are you sure she'll be fine?"Kagome's mother asked. Kagome's grandfather put his hands behind his back and closed his eyes.

"Hai, Kagome has a strong spirit. She'll be fine."Kagome's grandfather then walked back into the house.

Kagome climbed out of the well and looked around.

"Everything looks the same from the last time I was here..."Kagome put her bookbag onto her back and went to search for her friends.

She found herself infront of a small hut with smoke coming out of the roof. Kagome smiled and walked over to the hut and knocked on the door.

"Hello? Is anyone here?"Kagome asked tapping on the door lightly. There was no one at the door. Kagome sighed slowly and turned around noticing a woman at the edge of the hill.

Kagome walked over to the woman and noticed that she was a beautiful elegant woman who dressed in a fine white and light pink kimono.

Kagome neared the lady and noticed something about her.

Who is she? She looks so familiar...

The woman felt a prescence from behind her and turned around looking a bit startled. Kagome's eyes widened at the sight of the woman.

"S-S-Sango?"Kagome studdered. The woman blinked a couple of times and took a few steps forward.

"Hai, and you are?"Sango said looking a bit confused.

"Sango! Its me! Kagome!"Kagome smiled widely. Sango's eyes widened and noticed that it was her old friend. Kagome looked different since she wasn't dressed in her school uniform anymore.

"Kagome!"Sango walked over to Kagome and gave her a welcoming hug,"Its been so long!"Sango said cheerfully. Kagome nodded.

"Hai. A year...How is everyone else? Where are they?"Kagome said looking around.

"Where is whom?"Sango blinked a couple more times. Kagome raised an eyebrow.

"Miroku, Shippo, Kilala, Inuyasha thats who,"Kagome said.

"Ano...I wouldn't know of Inuyasha or Shippo,"Sango said walking Kagome to her hut. Kagome looked oddly confused of Sango's words.

"W-w-what do you mean?"Kagome paused.

"Ever since you left..Inuyasha just...disappeared."Sango looked toward the hill.

"Disappeared? Why?"Kagome looked a bit startled from what she was hearing.

"I remember Inuyasha telling Miroku and I that you said you never wanted to see him again. Inuyasha didn't stay like himself for a while. I believe he kept thinking of you...,"Sango started,"He left several days later without telling any of us to where he was going. All we know was that he took the Shikon No Tama with him."Sango closed her eyes momentarily. Kagome stared at Sango shocked.

"Have you tried to look for him?"Kagome asked. Sango nodded.

"Hai, we did. Almost everyday, but we couldn't find him. Then Shippo left us, he said there was no other reason to stay with us since the group was spliting. We tried to look for Shippo, but we couldn't find him also,"Sango said leading Kagome to the small woodened stairs that led inside the hut. Kagome looked hurt. Because of her...two of her friends just left with sorrow in their hearts...especially Inuyasha.

Kagome then spotted something shimmering on Sango's finger. A ring.

"Sango? That ring! W-who?"Kagome looked speechless as Sango blushed.

"Hai, I'm married. We've been together for about seven months now."Sango looked at the ring, admiring it.

"To who?"Kagome's eyes widned waiting for Sango to speak.

"Miroku..."Sango hid her face away from blushing. Kagome lost her balance and nearly fell to the ground.

"You and Miroku? How?"Kagome wanted answers. Sango giggled a bit.

"After giving up of looking for Shippo and Inuyasha, it seemed that Miroku and I began to grow closer to one another...and before you know it we're married,"Sango said happily showing Kagome the ring. Kagome's jaw dropped.

I've missed a lot over this passed year!

"Sango?"a voice was heard from down the walking path. Sango and Kagome faced to where they heard the voice.

"Miroku?"
