"Wake up Kagome."
Kagome stirred at the sound of her mother's calming voice. Her eyes fluttered then snapped open as she realized that she was in a hotel room. She looked around the hotel room with a bit of a confused look on her face. Then her expression became sad as she remembered the events of the night before. She shook her head violently trying to get rid of the memories of the flames that had suddenly engulfed their home and shrine that haunted her mind. She sighed sadly and looked up at her mother with tearful eyes.
"I had hoped it had only been a nightmare. A really horrible, scary nightmare."she said just barely louder than a whisper.
She couldn't hold the tears in any longer. She flung herself into Haruko's arms and sobbed. All the while Haruko soothed her with calming words.
Kagome sobbed into her mother's shoulder for a good 15 minutes. Finally the sobbing had been reduced to quiet sniffling. Tears continued to stream down her cheeks silently. Haruko brushed them away.
"It's okay honey. Come on, I'll get us something to eat while you get ready for school."said Haruko.
"School?"asked Kagome. "But . . ."
"No, we aren't going to let this take over our lives."said Haruko.
Kagome nodded. Haruko gave her daughter one last hug before getting up and slipping her shoes on. She waved to Kagome then left the hotel room to go to the store down the street to get them some breakfast.
After Haruko left Kagome sighed and stood up and stretched. She couldn't help it as a yawn escaped her. She walked into the small washroom and turned on the shower. After a quyick shower she changed into a mini jean skirt and a white blouse that her mother had set out for her. All of their clothes had been destroyed in the fire including her school uniform. All she had was the clothes she was wearing the day of the fire and this new outfit that she guessed her mother had run out and bought for her.
'I still can't believe it happened.' Kagome thought to herself. 'I can't believe we lost everything in that fire. It's going to be a while before I can bring up the courage to go back there.'
Kagome picked up a comb and began to comb out the knots in her hair.
'Wait!'she suddenly thought. 'what about Inuyasha and the others. I can't abandon them but I can't go back either. . . Inuyasha will come back for me. I told him I'd be back this morning. He can never let me stay in my own time to long. Besides I'm sure he'll miss his ramen.'
At this thought Kagome got a small smile out of herself. She was just finishing brushing her hair when she heard the hotel room door open.
"Mama?"she called.
"Yes, it's just me. I've got some breakfast."came her mother's voice from the other room.
Kagome left the brush on the bathroom counter then stepped out into the other room where her mother stood unpacking the grocery bags. Souta sat on one of the beds watching TV.
"Hey sis."greeted Souta.
"Hey Souta. Umm, Mama, where's jii-chan?"asked Kagome.
"He went for a walk. He's still sulking over all of the 'valuable, heirlooms and artificacts' that we lost in the fire."replied Haruko.
Kagome giggled. Her jii-chan could be, well he was, obsessed with the crazy, ancient artifacts that he aquired from god knows where.
Once breakfast had been served and eaten Kagome and Souta left the hotel to go to school. Kagome was now 16 years old and in grade 11 (A/N I'm not sure how the japanese school system works so I'm gonna use the canadian one . . . and yes I'm from canada, petawawa to be exact. Anywho). Fortunately Kagome's school was not very far from the hotel they were staying at. Souta's was a little further but he could manage. Kagome was almost at the school when she heard somebody calling her name.
"Kagome. Kagome."Kagome recognized the voices as those of her bestfriend's Eri, Yuka, and Ayumi.
Kagome spun around and greeted them cheerfully.
"Hey guys, what's up?"she said, while she was really thinking, 'I really don't need this right now.'
"Kagome, why are you going to school?"asked Eri.
'Here they come.'
"Yeah, we saw what happened to the shrine on the news. We thought you'd be gone for at least a week."said Yuka.
"Are you hurt?"asked Ayumi innocently.
"No, I was lucky. As for the other questions, Mama doesn't want this to take over our lives."replied Kagome. "And I really don't want to talk about it."
"We're sorry Kagome. It just looked so frightening."said Eri.
The school bell rang at that moment and all four girls ran into the school to get ready for their classes. All day Kagome was bombarded with questions. Hojo was especially clingy that day. In between classes he was always's by her side. It was really starting to annoy Kagome. She didn't want to go out with him. She was in love with Inuyasha. Besides Hojo was nice, really nice, but he was just a little weird. It didn't help of course that jii-chan was always making up weird illnesses that nobody had even heard of, as exuses as to why she was not in school during the time she was in the Sengoku Jidai. Finally she burst. Right in the middle of the hallway on their way to their last class.
"Damn Hojo, you're so damn thick! I DON'T WANT TO GO OUT WITH YOU!"she yelled.
She sighed angrilly and stomped off to her next class leaving Hojo alone and confused in the middle of the hall. (A/N HAHAHA finally! Hobo had it coming.).
. . . After Last Class
Kagome felt miserable. She had been asked questions all day about the fire that she didn't want to talk about, she had yelled at Hojo (HA it's still funny), and she had completely ignored her friends. She sighed as she put her books into her backpack and closed her locker. To top it all off Inuyasha hadn't come through the well to get her that morning when she didn't go back. Even if he had gone through the well and seen the remains of the fire he would get worried and go looking for her, wouldn't he? Unless . . .
'That bitch Kikyo!'
Still, somehow Kagome had a feeling that wasn't the case. She sighed again and left the locker room. She walked slowly on her way back to the hotel thinking the whole time about Inuyasha. For some reason she wasn't able to stop thinking about him. It had been difficult for her to concentrate on her work when her head was in a completely different era with a certain inu-hanyou.
Kagome stopped suddenly realizing that she had subconciously wandered back to the Higurashi Shrine, the remains of it at least. She stood in the sidewalk for a few moments staring up the steps that led to the shrine and house. Finally she brought up her courage and made her way slowly up the stairs. She soon found herself burnt remains of the shrine. But there were two things that seemed out of place, that weren't burnt or destroyed. They looked like they hadn't even been touched by the fire while Kagome knew that she had watched them burn with the rest of the shrine. Those two things were the Goshinboku and the bone eater's well.
Kagome walked slowly towards the Goshinboku and placed a small, soft hand on the place where the bark was soft and worn. This was the place where Kikyo had sealed Inuyasha to the Goshinboku tree more than 550 years ago. It was the place where Kagome had first met Inuyasha more than 500 years ago when she first travelled through the well. A single tear rolled down Kagome's cheek. She wiped it away before it hit the ground. As she looked away from the goshinboku she spotted the bone eater's well, no longer inside the well house. She walked over to it. She picked her way throught the burnt lumber and ashes to the well that looked as it always had.
'I can't go back right now. I don't have any supplies.'Kagome thought as she sat on the edge of the well. She sat there for a few minutes. 'I guess I can go just to let everyone know I'm okay. I'd like to know why Inuyasha didn't come too.'
Kagome jumped down into the well and landed at the bottom with a small thump. She was confused for a moment and just sat at the bottom of the wall as if waiting for Inuyasha's voice. But it never came so she decided the well had had a fluke (A/N what does fluke mean anyway?). She climbed back to the top and dropped herself back down. Again she just hit the bottom leaving a large bruise on her butt. Now she was panicking.
'Oh no, the well isn't working. That's why Inuyasha couldn't get to me.'she thought. 'Oh no, what if I'm no longer able to travel back to the Sengoku Jidai? I'll never see any of my friends ever again. I'll never see Inuyasha . . .'
"INUYASHA!"screamed Kagome as tears fell freely from her chocolate brown eyes.
-Sengoku Jidai-
"INUYASHA!"
The voice of Kagome rang rang through the forest until it reached the ears of our favourite inu-hanyou, Inuyasha. Inuyasha went ridged at the sound of Kagome's voice calling out his name. She sounded distressed. She could be in trouble. Inuyasha looked around at Sango, Miroku, and Shippo who were sitting together outside Kaede's hut silently, each of them thinking to themselves. None of them seemed to hear Kagome's voice.
"Did you hear that!"asked Inuyasha.
Sango and Miroku glanced nervously at each other then back to Inuyasha.
"Did we hear what?"asked Sango.
"Kagome. You can't tell me you didn't hear that."replied Inuyasha, his voice raising slightly.
"Inuyasha we miss Kagome too, but we have to face it. She's not coming back."said Miroku.
"Inuyasha . . ."
This time it was quieter. Inuyasha's ears turned in the direction of the well.
"There it was again."he said. "She's at the well."
With that he took off in the direction of the well and Kagome, the one woman he truelly loved. (thought she's no older than sixteen). He soon found himself at the well. Kagome's scent was still there but it was fading. There was no sign of her anywhere. Inuyasha leaped into the well. As the others (by the way, who had followed) had guessed he hit the bottom but did not travel to Kagome's time. The thump of him hitting the bottom was soon followed by a verse of very colorful curses.
-Present Time-
Kagome had finally cried herself to exhaustion and fell asleep right then and there. She woke up a few hours later. When she first woke up she was very confused and stiff. What was she doing in the bone eater's well. Then it all came back to her. She felt like crying all over again but she had cried herself out before falling asleep. She sat in the well for a few minutes thinking over all of the horrible things that had happened to her within the past 24 hours. First she had come home to restock on supplies only to get caught in a fire and narrowly escaped with her life. Second she had exploded at Hojo at school and humiliated both of them in a busy hall way. Finally third, and the worst of all (even worse than the fire) she lost her best friends, and most importantly the one she loved. It was all too much for her at the moment.
Unable to hold it in any longer she began crying yet again.
"Maybe I should just end it all now!"she cried.
'Ugh, how could I think of doing something that horrible? Things can only get better, they can't get any worse.'
(guess what happens next)
At that moment it started raining. And not just a light shower. It was like a torrential downpour. It was crazy. She was soaked to the bone within seconds.
'I spoke way too soon.'she thought.
