Chapter Twenty-Four: Back To The Start
It had been two weeks since Kagome had told Yusuke that she and Kouga were going to start searching for the remaining jewel shards.Yusuke had agreed that he would tag along with them so that he may help in the process. To their luck, snow began to fall on their fifth day out, which made things a little more difficult. Since their search for the jewel shards, they only got three pieces of the shard.
Kagome wondered at times what Naraku was up to since he did not once appear or make any signs that he was watching them. Kouga had told her that since she left, Naraku and his incarnations had also vanished. Where could have Naraku have gone? He still had to be alive, but he was playing it smart. What was he planning now? What could he be up to?
"Well, this snow seems as though it is not going to stop any time soon. We need to find a place to sleep for the night." Yusuke said as he rubbed his hands together, trying to cause the friction to make his warm up a bit.
Kagome looked at Kouga as she to knew that there was a limit.
"Kouga, where can we settle for the night?" Kagome had asked with a tone that had seriousness.
"There is a cave not far from here, where me and my men have. I am sure that we can rest there for tonight. It should be no more than a few minutes away." Kouga replied.
"Very well then. Try to see if there is any good wood that would do for a fire as we walk there." Kagome said as she began to follow Kouga.
It took no more than ten minutes to reach the cave that Kouga had told Kagome about. They found very little fire wood on their way there, but it was a good thing that Kouga's men had piled some fire wood inside the cave last time they were there. Once they entered the cave, Kagome felt something odd. She could not really describe it, but she knew that something was coming. Yusuke began to make a fire as Kouga made sure that everything was secure.
When everyone was settled down by the fire, Kouga, noticed that there was a change in Kagome. She was not the same girl he remembered, but he also noticed that she seemed to resemble Kikyo a bit more. Her hair was tied back as that priestess, and she wore the same clothing. Her facial expressions were also so hard to read, except when she was tending to the injured or talking to children. That was the only time he had seen her with an expression that showed that the Kagome he knew was somewhere in there.
Kouga and Kagome were startled as they heard a wierd sound, they were both not suprised when they realized that it was Yusuke snoring. Kouga figured that he should to rest for the night.
As soon as Kouga fell asleep, Kagome got up from where she sat and left the cave. That odd feeling had returned to her and she felt as though something or someone was calling out to her. She felt helpless, but she was being drawn to whatever was calling. Struggling through the cold and still falling snow, Kagome knew that what she was doing was foolish. Walking in a snow storm was not the smartest thing she had done, but she could not help it. She had to know what she felt.
It seemed as though she was traveling for a few hours, when Kagome began to think of how she spent her last Christmas. She was with Inuyasha, but she had to return to her time to be with her family. Instead that is when she allowed others to join them, Kurama and his friends. Trying to think of something else, Kagome began to cry. She was so confused and she just wanted to know what she should do. She wanted things to be like they used to be. She missed Inuyasha so much and she just wanted to be with him. That she knew. She loved only Inuyasha. No one else would take his place.
"I wish... I wish that I could be back where this all started." A bright glow emerged from within Kagome and everything around her.
Two Years Earlier
Kagome approaced a boy who seemed to be asleep. She looked at the arrow that pinned him to the tree. To her amazement there were to ears that resembled a dog on top of his head.
The End
A/N: I want to thank everyone who reviewed.I finished the story. I know some or most of you are gonna hate me because of this.Kagome got her wish and she ended up back to her 15th birthday where she first met Inuyasha,to where everything first started. I just wanted to finish this story and I wanted her to be with Inuyasha. It is sorta ironic actually. There was one or two reviewers in the last two chapters that wanted Inuyasha back with Kagome and I agreed.Well if you like the last chapter or not please review.
Also, HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!!
Inuyasha: Kagome belongs with me!
Kagome 'blushes'
