Chapter 4
Kagome thought about going back to Kaede's village, but thought better of it. She instead ran back to the Tree of Time. The tree she was pinned to.
She sat on the tree's edge and tried to calm down. She didn't care about the command, she was crying because she missed InuYasha. Oh, InuYasha, I miss you so much.
Kagome jerked her head to the side as she heard rustling coming from the trees. InuYasha walked out of the forest and sat down beside Kagome. "I don't belong here."
"I know the feeling."
"What?"
"Not now, how are you here?" Kagome asked.
"I live in a shrine in Japan in the year 1997." InuYasha waited for Kagome to look surprised as did Kaede and all the villagers, but she nodded for him to continue. "I found a well in the shrine and Mistress Centipede pulled me down. When I got here the Shikon Jewel broke out of my body. Then I met you."
"I completely understand your story." Kagome said once she was sure human InuYasha had finished.
"What? How is that possible? You're a half demon from the Futile Era."
Kagome looked InuYasha straight in the eye. "No, I'm not. I'm you." She saw the confused look on his face and continued. "I'm a girl from 1997 Japan who came here and went through what you went through recently. You are a half dog demon named InuYasha. We have been working together to collect the shards of the Shikon Jewel with our friends Sango, Miroku, and Shippoe. Recently we were in a battle with our enemy Naraku and I got shot with an arrow and woke up attached to this tree. I think this is a parallel universe of mine. And, I have to get back!"
InuYasha looked at Kagome with wide eyes and then spoke, "After all I've been through, I guess anything is possible." InuYasha suddenly shot up and had the same determined look in his eyes that Kagome usually has. "Kagome, I shall find a way to bring you back to your own world!"
Kagome just smiled.
