Going Home
The Next Morning everyone was awake and eating breakfast and they all started conversations. "Scott, this forest is beautiful. You don't see such a wonderful view in the city at home. It's a shame." Jean said as she started packing her backpack. "Yeah, it's nice." Scott replied as he placed his last possession into his backpack. "Gus I want to take you to meet someone in the next village. I think you'll like her, she's a sweet old lady." Kagome told the X-Men after everyone was ready to go. The large group headed towards Keade's village.
"This village looks peaceful." Said Scott as the group approached the small town. "It is most of the time, sometimes demons want to attack, but either Keade and some villagers or Inuyasha slay them without much trouble." Sango said and Kagome translated. "There's Keade's hut. She should be home or she could be out to get food." Kagome stated as she pointed out the grass and wood hut. Everyone soon stood outside the hut. "(Keade, are you home?)" Miroku called.
"(Come in, oh we have visitors to the village. It's nice to meet you.)" Keade smiled as the group made their way into the small home. "She said she was pleased to meet you guys." Kagome said to the X-Men. "Can you tell her about us. She might understand better from you." Scott whispered to Kagome. She nodded and started speaking in Japanese to the older woman and telling her about the group of Americans. Lady Keade smiled and started to talk in fairly good English. "Hello, Welcome to the village. I hope you enjoy your time here." Keade fixed lunch for everyone despite Jean and Kagome's offers to cook.
" I hate, Kagome will have to leave all her friends behind. I feel guilty." Alicia said as she and the other X-Men laid out on the cool grass, while Inuyasha, Miroku, Shippo, and Sango went to market for things to cook. "I've thought of that too. She and her friends must be really upset about all of this." Said Kitty with a sad expression on her face. "You know, if we're going to see the sights in present day Japan, shouldn't we get back. Oh, let's get Sango, Shippo, and Miroku to come to see them too." Kurt said cheerfully to lighten the mood.
" Time to eat." Kagome called from the hut. The X-Men got up and trudged up the Keade's home at the top of the hill. After eating, the X-Men announced they planned to go back to see the present day sights of Japan, in which Kagome immediately volunteered to be the 'guide'. "Have Shippo, Sango, and Miroku ever see the future?" asked Rogue as she finished her lunch. "No. I think they can come." Kagome said thoughtfully. An hour later everyone was gathered around the well. One by one everyone (including Inuyasha, Miroku, Sango, and Shippo) jumped in. Kagome again began to fell upset as she climbed out of the well. She was going to miss doing that. She was going to miss all her good friends, family, everything. To Kagome it seemed her life was taking a turn for the worst.
