'Why should I return?' Kagome thought as she stood over the well in clean clothes and with new supplies. She remembered the horrors of her first arrival.
She was tied up and poked by villagers, a giant naked centipede started chasing her, bit into her side, a really rude guy told her she was ugly and smelt bad, and she was forced to free him to save everyone from the nude centipede, only for him to try to kill her. Even afterwards he was rude to her, still is mind you, peeped at her when she was bathing, and all this for a tiny jewel that somehow came out of her.
Now she had to return back to gather the pieces of it she accidentally shattered? Why was she going to gather them again? To save the world? And face scary demons and an arrogant guy who treats her like crap but is obsessed with her?
She is just a simple 15-year-old school girl. How would she be strong enough or brave enough to go through it all? Will she ever gather the courage? Of course she did. Because into the well she leaped.
