And I thought that I don't belong

-

Sango held tight to Miroku, it was sad seeing her like this. What could they do or say? Miroku elbowed Sango lightly and she looked at him, his eyes were off so she followed them, Sesshomaru was standing there looking at Kagome, it seemed as if he had something on his mind.

They watched as the demon Lord slowly walked up to the girl, he then stood beside her. He didn't look at her but up into the sky, he was waiting for her to say something, he would not ask.

"The well does not work, I can't go home"

Sesshomaru knew well that Kagome came from another time, he didn't know the well was the link, he does now. Kagome sat back on her feet, what now? Inuyasha was gone, but her life, her life didn't consist just of Inuyasha, yes she loved him but she knew, deep down she knew, she was just some girl from the future who came to the past, who feel in love with a demon boy, its was, in terms, really in terms, puppy love and she knew it, she was not stupid, but still the sting was there.

Kagome looked back at her friends, trying to be strong, but not faking a smile either. Sango held tight to Miroku, who's hand was no longer a threat, which meant, they would soon want to wed, after all that was their plan.

Sesshomaru wondered why he was still here, perhaps his honor, yet he would not explain, he didn't have to.

The words 'I don't belong' played in Kagome's head, but if she did not, then why was she still here? Why did not jewel not send her home?

"I, I don't understand" Kagome said,

"Why is it you do not understand miko" He wondered,

Tears fell down her cheeks "If, if it's over, if the jewel is gone, and no longer a part of me, why, why am I still here"

Here friends hear her speak, Miroku to wondered the same thing, though they could not say they were not happy she was still here, they loved her, but they hurt for her as well.

Sesshomaru took in a deep breath "It is simple"

Kagome snapped her eyes at him, a little angry at his words,

"Everything is simple to you Sesshomaru" She said cold, no longer looking at him but the ground.

"You are here because you are meant to be here"

Once again she looked at him "If I was meant to be here then why was I not born here"

He looked at her "You question life miko, fate as most human's call it, it is what it is"

Kagome stood up"It is what it is!" It was cruel, and to her it was not right!

"You belong where you belong, you should be thankful miko"

Kagome just didn't see it his way, she should be thankful for being pushed and pulled into different time, different friends, she should be thankful that she is stuck here and no longer able to see her family?

Her angry grew with the demon Lord and he could see it. However Sesshomaru never spoke without thinking first, he knew he would one day have to explain it to her, but right now, she was just angry, and hurt, and a mess.

"The miko will come with me" He boldly stated,

Everyone looked at him,

"Come again" Kagome said short and shocked.

He looked at her, his voice lower "You wish to stay with the monk and slayer?"

Kagome looked at them, knowing all well that they would be all to happy to take her, but, no, she knew tonight would be a important night for them, and who was she to put a hold on their life, which if she stayed, she would end up doing, thought they would deny it all the way. Like her, they were to kind.

Keade didn't have enough space in her hut, and Kagome knew she would not be able to stay long. But going with him? What else could she do? Where else would she go? Though she had power, she was, unprotected.

Kagome glanced at Sesshomaru, he was allowing her to follow him, that was a big deal and she knew it, it would be unwise to turn him down, because if for some odd reason they needed help one day she knew they would not be able to look to him for it.

Kagome sighed, what was she thinking, even she didn't know, she just wanted this day to be over, so with dull eyes, broken heart, she uncaring, agreed to go.
