Going Home

By Hannah Box

Kagomes eyes fluttered open.

"Look! She's waking up!"cried Shippo.They all huddled closer to Kagome.

"Kagome? How do you feel?" asked Sango with concern.Kagome blinked. It took her a moment to realize where she was.

"Kagome?"

"I'm fine. help me up" Kagome struggled to sit up. Miroku gently pushed her back down.

"Lady Kagome, I don't think it wise to stand in your condition."

"He's right, Kagome," added Sango, "your injuries are severe. You won't be going anywhere for a while."

"Sango, I have to get home."

"Why don't you tell us what happened?"

Kagome closed her eyes as if in pain.

"Kagome?"

"I came back from being home for a week. I went to keades-" she told them everything that had taken place in the last few days.

"Sesshomaru took care of you?!?" they all said at once. There was a long pause from kagome then,

"Yes" she drawled. Sango, Miroku, and Shippo all exchanged looks.

"We are talking about the same Sesshomaru, right? The evil, human hating one?"

" I don't think he's evil. a little distant, but not evil." they exchanged looks again.

"Maybe you should rest now. Your obviously in worse condition than we first thought." said Miroku. Kagome looked at them in innocent stupidity. Then she narrowed her eyes at them.

"I am not crazy, you guy's."

"How do we know?" said shippo suspiciously, narrowing his eyes.

"Oh come on! He did take care of me. In a rather rude, uncaring way. But still-"

"So, anyways, Inuyasha was the one who attacked you?"

"Yes he was. And I will kill him." she said angrilly. They sat in awkward silence at her unusual display of anger.

"So, now what?"Sango asked.

" I need to get home. Do you know where the well is from here?"

"Yes, but i'ts a long ways. You'll have to take Kirara, if she's up to it. How about it Kirara?" Kirara meowed and rubbed up against kagome.

They got kagome on kirara and gave her supplies for the trip.

"Be safe, kagome." said sango, giving kagome a hug.

"When should we expect you back?" asked miroku.

"It will take me awhile to recover, and theres a lot of things I need to get done. It will be a while.but I promise, I will come back." Shippo flew into her arms, his tears falling freely.

"Come back soon mama!" this brought tears to kagomes eyes.

"I'll try Shippo. I promise." And with that kirara leaped into the air. High up in the sky, she waved goodbye. She saw them wave back.

After a few days of flying, things started looking familiar.

"Oh look, kirara! theres the well!" kirara took her down. kagome slowly and carefully got down off the giant fire-cat. she hugged her around her massive neck.

"Goodbye, kirara. I'll see you soon." kirar meowed and flew away. kagome turned and walked to the well. peering over the rim, she looked down into the well.'this one well is the only doorway between here and home.' she thought back to when she first came through.'things were so much simpler then. there wasn't kikyo'
And she jumped.
