Chapter Five
After climbing up the ladder back to the Present day, the sisters each hugged Kagome. "What was that for?" she asked. "We had the most fun we have ever had today!" Shayla exlaimed. "Yeah!" Jesse pipped in. "Oh well, your're welcome." Kagome replied. "You have to take us back again before we leave!" the sisters exlaimed. " We'll see!" Kagome laughed. "But, first we better go and let mom know you are okay."
Mrs. Higurashi, Souta and Grandpa ran and gave Kagome and the sisters hugs of relief when they got in the house. Kagome explained to everyone over dinner that Shayla and Jesse had followed her to the well house and accidentilly fell in with her. The girls then went about telling all about the fun they had while in the feudal era. "Hey! How come I never get to go and see Inuyasha's hom and meet everyone else?" Souta asked his sister disappointed. "Oh Souta dear, you know that Kagome is the only one with the power to do that." Mrs. Higurashi said, "Well, I guess she isn't the only one anymore." Everyone gave a little laugh. Well, everyone that is except for Souta. "It's still not fair." he pouted.
"Don't worry Souta." Jesse said, "Look, we had our cameras with us when we fell." "Yeah, and we took tons of picture. You can see what it and everyone looks like." Shayla said. "Really!" Souta said cheering up a little. "Yes, when we get them developed, you can have some." Jesse said. "Can we go into town tomorrow and get them done?" Shayla asked Mrs. Higurashi. "Of course dear!" she replied. "For now, why don't you guys go upstairs, clean up and get some rest. You must be exhausted from all the day's excitement."
The next morning, the whole family, with the exclusion of Grandpa, went into town. After they dropped off the film to the photo lab, they discovered a festival going on. "Oh yeah!" Souta exclaimed. " I forgot all about the festival today." So, they all joined the fun and excitement of the festival for a couple of hours. By late afternoon, they all returned home laughing and carrying bags of groceries and photos and such. Souta excitedly ran upstairs. "Thanks for the pictures, Shayla and Jesse!" he shouted back down the stairs. "You're welcome!" they both shouted back. But, he was already out of earshot in his room.
Over the next two weeks, Kagome took her cousins back to see Inuyasha and Miroku several times. They had even brought back on of the pictures they took with Miroku and gave it to him. "Here," they said, " So that you don't forget us." He smiled, thanked them and told them that he couldn't forget them if he tried. On their last trip back, the day before they were to back home to America, was tough for them. They had come to love their new found family and friends so much. They didn't want to leave. They promised Miroku, Inuyasha and Kaede that they would write to Kagome often, and then she could let them know what's going on back in feudel day. She could also keep Miroku and Inuyasha up on what's happening wiht them back in America.
Before their final trip back through the well, the sisters had convinced Kagome to take a picture of them stealing another kiss from Miroku. He was a little shocked by this picture, but not so much that it stopped him from laughing. He had grown used to their boldness. He gave them each a light hug and told them he would miss them. Inuyasha had grown fond of Kagome's cousins as well and told them not be strangers. They promised they wouldn't and jumped back into the well with Kagome.
The next day, Shayla and Jesse then said goodbye to their cousins and boarded their plane back home teary-eyed. They had promised everyone that they would come back as soon as they could. They were however excited to show their friends back home all the pictures they took. Also, tell them about the hottest guy they had ever met! They would have to tell them that it was an anime convention or something they met him at. You see, they promised Kagome they would keep her secret about the time travel. That's exactly what they intended to do!
THE END!
