Kagome looked up to see the roof of the well house, smiling she started to climb up the ladder her family left for her while Hana was tied to her back. Kagome walked in the back door, "Hello? Is anyone home?" No one answered, so she checked the fridge, no notes left either. They must not have been expecting her to come back anytime soon. Kagome shrugged, and took Hana off her back and fed her before putting her down for a nap in the crib she had set up in her room last time she was here. She went downstairs and turned on the TV to watch some news, about an hour later she fell asleep to wake up to the front door being opened. Her brother walked in and quickly ran over to her.
"Kagome! You're back, you're not pregnant! Where's the baby?" Souta shouted excitedly.
"Calm down, she's upstairs, you can't use such loud voices around her. Where is mama and grandpa?"
"They are getting the rest of the groceries out of the car, they should be in soon, can I see the baby?"
Kagome smiled, "Wait for mama and grandpa." Souta started to pout, but went to put his groceries away.
About a minute later her mother and grandpa walked in, smiling when they saw her. "Oh Kagome, I'm so glad you're home. You look wonderful! Where's the baby?"
"Wait here and I'll go get her." Kagome walked up the stairs, Souta followed behind her excited to see his new niece or nephew. Kagome walked up to the bed to see Hana awake, content to be somewhere warm. Kagome picked her up, clutching her to her chest. Souta smiled at her. "Her name is Hana Misaki Takahashi, she was born yesterday." Kagome handed him the little girl as they walked downstairs together. Hana started to fuss, but just starred at Souta with her amber eyes.
"Oh my, what's her name?" Kagome's mother asked when she saw the pink blanket. She rushed over to look down at her new granddaughter.
"Hana Misaki Takahashi. She was born yesterday. So far she's a very quiet baby," Kagome said.
"Kagome, I'm so proud of you." Her mom took the baby and showed it to her grandpa. "She's absolutely darling. How long are you staying for?"
"Just a day or two, I need to get back to Inuyasha, he hasn't had much time with her yet." Her mother smiled at her, before looking back down at her baby granddaughter.
Kagome woke up to Hana's cries, she slowly walked over to her, she could smell her dirty diaper. She sighed and picked her up, setting her on her bed, ready to change her. As soon as she was done, she fed her, and went downstairs to eat some breakfast before she went back to Inuyasha. Her family was downstairs waiting for her, all smiling.
"Ready to go back Kagome?" Her mother asked.
"I'm never ready to leave the comforts of this time, but I miss Inuyasha, and he needs to see her."
"I wish you luck, and I really hope you'll visit more regularly with this baby now, she's cute as a button."
Kagome finished breakfast, packed some necessities, and said goodbye before heading to the well house. She climbed down the ladder until she was a few feet from the ground, and jumped. She hit the dirt. 'What just happened?' Kagome thought. She tried it again, and three more times, but to no avail. The well would not transport her back in time, she was stuck in the present without Inuyasha.
Feudal Era
Inuyasha woke up in the quiet hut, wishing his mate was next to him so he could listen to her heartbeat. He could still smell her on the sheets. "I miss you Kagome..." Inuyasha said to himself. He decided that he would go meet Kagome in her time to see her family with Hana. Inuyasha got dressed, made himself some breakfast and walked to the well. He jumped up on the wooden siding and prepared to jump down when he heard Shippo cry his name. Inuyasha turned around to see him with tears in his eyes.
"What is it runt? I'm about to go see Kagome."
"I want go to too!"
"No, when I bring her back later today you can see her. This is time to spend with her family."
"B-But..."
"No." And with that Inuyasha jumped in the well. Shippo expected to see a blue light flash, but nothing happened. He heard a string of curses and Inuyasha came back up, and jumped down again. Nothing.
"What's wrong with the well?" Shippo asked.
"If I knew, don't you think I would be trying to fix it?" Inuyasha snarled at him. Inuyasha decided to go ask Kaede about the well. When he arrived Kaede was making a tea and humming to herself.
"Kaede, the well won't open and Kagome is on the other side. What happened?"
"I feared this might happen."
"What might? Out with it!"
"I figured that when the Shikon Jewel was complete, only a few more trips to the present would be allowed. And it seems that Kagome used the last trip. Kagome has her heart and mind both here and in the present, so she cannot choose between them. For the well to open back up she must fully devote her entire self to coming back to this time, and she cannot ever return to the future. But that could be very hard seeing as her family lives in her time."
"That's not fair, how come you didn't warn me about this before? I would have went with her!"
"I did not know if it was to be true, and I did not want to scare ye."
"Now because of that my mate and my daughter are stuck 500 years in the future! I have no idea how long it could be until Kagome figures that out, let alone can put herself through the thought of never seeing her family again! Is there anyway I can go to the future?"
"No, you belong here and have not made a large enough mark on the future to belong. Kagome has traveled many times to this world and has helped many people, she has made her mark, so only she has the choice."
Inuyasha ran back to the well, and tried again, and again. He tried it over and over the entire day. He finally went home, laid in bed and cried. He might never see his Kagome or Hana again. Just when he thought life was finally looking up, it all had to be taken away from him.
A/N: Sorry this took so long, I've had a busy few weeks! Hope you all like it!
