Chapter 1
As the sun set over the horizon of feudal Japan, a tired and weary Inuyasha sat in his favorite spot in the god tree. Nothing could be heard except for the songs of the insects and the sweet sounds of Kagome breathing. "I love the sounds of the world sleeping." Inuyasha whispered aloud.
He thought of all the adventures he and Kagome have had together. With Naraku defeated and the Shikon Jewel finally completed, he wondered what would come next. "I suppose that Kagome will want to go home with her family and friends now. And that boy...Hojo. Why would she want to stay here with us when she could be having fun in the her time?" By now Inuyasha had become dreadfully depressed. But through all of that, he managed to fall asleep.
When the sun rose beyond the mountain, a voice stirred the morning silence. "Inuyasha? Inuyasha? Are you awake up there?" It was Kagome just below the god tree trying to awaken Inuyasha. "I suppose I will sit down on the ground and wait for him."
THUD!
"Kagome, what did you do that for?" Inuyasha bellowed.
"Oops, sorry Inuyasha!" Kagome said.
"What are you doing over here this early in the morning anyway?" Inuyasha questioned
"Oh yeah, now I remember. I came to tell you that I'm going to go home, so you don't have to worry about me." Inuyasha's eyed widened and his head sank low. "So you're leaving now?" He said sadly.
"Yes, but only for a-." Kagome couldn't finish, because she sensed that something was wrong with Inuyasha's amber eyes. Inuyasha looks as though the world has ended.
"Inuyasha?"
"Inuyasha?"
Inuyasha got up and walked away slowly. "Inuyasha, where are you going?" Kagome said, looking quite puzzled.
Meanwhile, Sango and Miroku walked over to the tree where Kagome was.
"Do you think he knows that today is your birthday?" Sango questioned.
"I doubt it, you know how thickheaded Inuyasha can be sometimes." Miroku pointed out.
"I know that personally." Shippo snickered, popping out from Miroku's shoulder.
He placed a leaf on his head and turned himself into an imitation of Inuyasha, with his foxtail protruding from his backside. "Look at me, the baka."
Shippo purposely ran into trees and fell everywhere.
"Shippo, don't make fun of Inuyasha like that." Kagome said.
"Awww. Kagome why do you always stick up for him like that?" Shippo protested.
Kagome didn't answer his question, but she stared off into the distance instead.
As the day passed, Kagome and the others grew weary of Inuyasha's absence.
"When is he going to come back Kagome?" Shippo questioned Kagome
"I don't know Shippo. I really don't know"
35 Miles away from there, Inuyasha sat depressed, under the shade of a birch tree, with the soft sounds of a stream trickling along. As he stared at his reflection in the water, he has a thousand and one thoughts rushing through is head.
"Why doesn't Kagome want to stay with us? With me?" Does she hate me?
What is this thing that I feel when I am around her? Why do I feel so, so...so right when I am near her?"
Back at Kaede's village, Kagome is growing both worried and impatient. "Hey guys, I think that I'll go home and see my family now. Ok?" Kagome said.
"Alright Kagome, come back tomorrow when ye feel rested." Kaede stated.
"Okay, I'll see you guys tomorrow." Kagome told the others.
Kagome started off toward the Bone-Eaters well where the adventure began exactly one year ago. 'Today is my sixteenth birthday' she thought peacefully to herself. 'One year ago today, I fell through the well that would change my life forever.'
When she finally reached the well, she sat for a moment, hesitating to jump through. 'Should I go through yet? What if Inuyasha co-''
For some reason, Kagome couldn't finish her sentence. In fact, she couldn't even move. Kagome just sank limply to the ground. But something wasn't right, beside the fact that she couldn't move or speak. She felt as though something was being drawn from her. She soon discovered why-
It was Kikyo- and she was using her soul stealers to draw Kagome's soul out of her body.
"This soul belongs to its rightful owner- and that person is me." Kikyo told Kagome emotionless. "When I reclaim this soul as my own, your soulless body will die a slow death." And for the first time since her death, the cold, unemotional miko laughed maniacally, as though she was crazy. Laughing. Laughing. Laughing.
Slowly, she began to walk away, but she paused. She turned her head toward Kagome, and said sarcastically, "I hope you have a safe trip to Hell."
By now, Kagome has passed out cold, breathing low and shallow.
"I wonder when Kagome is coming back." Shippo said.
"I don't know Shippo." Sango told him. "But, I bet that right now she is relaxing in one of those indoor-hot springs she was telling me about. She described them as heaven on Earth."
"That sounds pretty nice," A voice whispered through a high tree branch.
It was Inuyasha. He had returned, "Inuyasha where have you been all of this time?" Miroku yelled.
"Why is that so important? Kagome is gone so why am I important to you?" Inuyasha asked, though he believed that this question was rhetorical. He thought he knew the answer to it.
He didn't.
"What are you talking about Inuyasha? Kagome just left for the day. She is going come back tomorrow." Sango pointed out.
Inuyasha didn't say anything.
He just sat there in the tree branch with wide eyes. He looked as though he had both lost and gained something at the exact same time.
"Don't assume that she would just get up and leave as soon we finished the jewel Inuyasha!" Myroku yelled. "If you miss her so much just go to the well and wait for her!"
Inuyasha looked up. He had a thankful look in his eyes. He quickly stood up from his tree branch and jumped on the ground, only to run as fast as he could toward the well.
'Kagome.' He thought to himself, 'I'm coming.'
Well, hope you liked this chappie!
