She stared at the blank faces of her loved ones, saying her goodbyes and swearing that she would avenge them.
How can I live without you guys? You're the only ones that I had left. I don't know where to go now. I'll probably have to go live in the feudal era, since I have nothing left behind me here, but then again, how will the others react when the jewel is done and I don't leave. Mom..Sota.. how I wish you were still here with me. I'll kill that bastard Naraku even if it kills me.
Tears of sorrow coursed down her cheeks for the twentieth time that day. Two days were now passed and she still felt the sting of her brother's last words. I'll go back to the feudal era, Sota, and I'll avenge both you and mom. You can count on that.
The day in the feudal era was depressingly sweet. The sun was high in the sky and no clouds were in sight. She could see Kaede's village in the distance, but no matter how much comfort she would receive at the hands of her friends, she cvouln't stand their pity at the moment.
Kagome shifted her humongous backpack around her shoulders. She had brought only what was necessary, clothes, some treats for her friends, pictures of her family, ramen for Inuyasha, and last but not least, Buyo.
It had broken her heart to come back home and see her cat just looking up at her from the front door. At first she didn't know if she would be able t take him to the feudal era with her, but as if the well was granting her wish, it let both of them pass to the past.
Oh god what am I gonna do now?
I cant go to the hut yet, they'll all want answers as to why I took so long coming back.
After all this time beign with them I still can't tell them the truth. Their tragedies surpass mine, and I can't make them fell more sadfness than they already do.
"This will be my secret. No matter how painful it is" she said to herself aloud. "Come on Buyo, I'll show you how this past thing looks like."
"Hey Inuyasha, do you think that Lady Kagome will be back soon?" asked Miroku, currently sporting yet another red face as a result of groping Sango.
"I don't know, but I'm getting really tired of her little trip to her time."
Sango looked up from where she sat, "You can't control her Inuyasha, afterall, her family does live there. She must miss them a lot."
"Feh, like I care what she thinks."
Where can she be? She's never taken this long going to her time. Did something happen to her. If someone hurt her I'll kill them with my bare hands! I'm going after her. Worrying doesn't do me any good. Plus, I can't stand it any longer staying inside with this perverted monk. Ugh.
Miroku noticed Inuyasha's look of disgust. "Something wrong Inuyasha? Does my way of flattering Sango repulse you, or..." a wicked smile lighted his face, "are you thinking about doing the same things to Kagome?"
"Shut up monk." Sango hit him over the head with her weapon and left him sprawled on the floor. "Go find her Inuyasha. Make sure Kagome's okay."
He nodded and started walking towards the door.
"Well, we've been walking for really long. How bout we go to the hut and get something to eat." Buyo meowed enthusiastically.
I don't wanna go though. Will they see through me and ask me what's wrong. I don't know if I'm prepared for their questions, especially Inuyasha, who always sees right through me. Damn him, this would all be so much easier if he couldn't do that.
No matter what though, I have to appear normal. Be the Kagome I've always been.
They both neared the hut. Only a few feet separated them from food, shelter, friends, and even more sorrow.
"You'll help me through it won't you Buyo?" Meow.
Inuyasha went out the door, only to stop in his tracks. There was Kagome (with Buyo no less). Her face was guarded. Something was wrong.
He went towards her. "Kagome?"
"Kagome?"
No this was a cruel trick of this world. The one person who should have been the last to see her was standing right infront of her.
Oh god no…
She looked up into Inuyasha's beautiful amber eyes.
