"Where are we?" Kiroshi asked impatiently. "And why are there trees and bushes everywhere?"
"Come on follow me!" Kagome said as she grabbed Kiroshi's hand and ran toward the old god tree.
"Kiroshi... Put your hand on this tree." Kagome said.
"What? Why?" Kiroshi said looking puzzled.
"Well... whenever I touch this tree. I can see memories. All the good and bad things that happened near this tree come into my mind... This tree really makes me think!" Kagome said laughing.
"Then why should I touch it?" Kiroshi said.
"Because... I'll say s-i-t if you don't."
Kiroshi winced at the thought. "Fine..." He placed his hand on the tree.
"Well... Anything?" Kagome asked hopefully.
"No... Nothing..." Kiroshi answered.
"Hey... Why the HELL are you making me do all this crazy stuff? Can you try explaining what's going on first!" Kiroshi said impatiently.
"Fine..." Kagome said. "This is the feudal era and... when I first came here... accidentally... I met you. Or at least... Inuyasha..."
"What the... What does that have to do with me?"
"Well... when I first met you you looked just like Inuyasha and you sounded just like him. So I figured that you were him but that would have been impossible and everything because" Kagome stopped talking for a minute. "Inuyasha is gone..."
"Gone? So where is he?"
"Kiroshi! You don't get it! Inuyasha is dead! When Inuyasha was alive he had prayer beads on all the time. The beads let me command him to s... I mean s-i-t whenever he did something bad. Even though he died, the spell of the beads was still on him and you as his reincarnate inherited the spe-"
"WHAT? REINCARNATE? I ONLY LOOK LIKE HIM AND SOUND LIKE HIM!"
"Kiroshi! This place is 500 years long ago. It is possible for you to be his reincarnate. Think about it! He's dead and you have his same looks, voice, spell, and you can cross the well! Only Inuyasha and I could ever cross the well but you were able to too. Don't you think that means something?" By now Kagome was yelling and tears started to form in her eyes.
"Kagome..."
"Kiroshi... I want you to believe me... Because... I never wanted to lose Inuyasha... But I did... Now that you're here... I feel so happy but if you don't believe me... I can't tell you anything... I was so happy... because when I saw you... I felt like... Inuyasha was alive again... and... the more time I spend with you... the happier I feel..." Kagome had tears trickling down her face.
"Kagome... Was Inuyasha your best friend or something? You cry every time you think of him" Kiroshi said.
"Kiroshi... Inuyasha was always there for me. He saved my life a billion times and I saved his. We were so much more then just friends... We fought so much... but we always made up in the end. He was arrogant, stubborn, and pretty violent but I liked him the way he was. He wasn't perfect... but still..." Kagome smiled. "And... You're just like him..."
Kiroshi got confused. Is she calling me arrogant, stubborn, and violent?
Kagome looked at Kiroshi and laughed. "So... Now can you try thinking again?"
"Fine..." Kiroshi said. It's hopeless arguing with her.
Kiroshi placed his hand right on the spot where Inuyasha was pinned.
"Well... anything?" Kagome asked.
"Nope..." Kiroshi answered.
Kagome sighed "Let's go home Kiroshi..."
Kiroshi was surprised to hear the upset tone of her voice. "O...ok..." Kiroshi said. "Kagome... Can we stay here a while longer? I just want to know a little bit more about this place."
Kagome smiled. "Really?"
"Yeah... I guess..." Kiroshi said.
Kagome looked at Kiroshi for a long time. She smiled and he smiled back.
