Chapter 2:The New Problem
"Isn't it kind of awkward having Kagome at home?" asked Sota.
"Yes, but there's nothing we can do. When she is ready to go back, she will." Answered Kagome's mother. But Kagome has been dieing to go back ever since she left. She just is not sure if she is ready to go back and what will happen if she did return.
"Maybe you should ask Kagome if she wants to visit Inuyasha and the gang in the Fudal Era." Suggested Sota.
"No. I don't want to seem like were trying to get rid of her," answered Kagome's mother. "When Kagome is ready to go back, she will."
"Speaking of Kagome, her she comes." Said Sota.
"Hey mom! Hey Sota! I'm home!"
"Hey sis!"
"Hello dear. How was the movie? Did u have fun?"
"Ya. Sota can you go upstairs so me and mom can talk?"
"Sure sis. See you in a little bit."Sota then runs upstairs and turns on his radio so they know he is not eavesdropping.
"What's the matter honey?" Ms. Higarashi said while making tea for her and Kagome.
"I just have a question for you. It took me three years to work up the courage to ask this." Kagome pauses for a moment to work up the courage to ask her question. "Can we please close off the entrance of the well for good?"
"Why, honey?" Ms. Higarashi asks with a shocked expression on her face.
"So I can stop wishing that Inuyasha will come up and come and bring me back to the Fudal Era. I just want it sealed off so I can move on with my life."
"If that is what you want then that is what we will do."
"Thank you mom! You're the best."
Kagome's mother was hoping that Kagome would ask if she could visit Inuyasha and the others in the Fudal Era. She was not expecting Kagome to ask if we could close up the well forever. 'Wonder how Inuyasha and the others say when they find out. Does Kagome even know that Inuyasha visits her at night? Maybe that is why she has made this kind of decision. Well, if he comes to visit her tonight, I am going to tell him about Kagome's decision. Maybe Inuyasha can talk to her into changing her mind. I do not know what made Kagome decide she wanted the well locked up for good. I stand by her decisions no matter what they are. She just seems happier when she is with Inuyasha and the gang.'
Ms. Higurashi was sitting alone in the kitchen drinking tea and had a very disturbed look on her face when Inuyasha walked into the room to let her know he was there.
"Hey Ms. Higurashi! What's wrong?"
"Kagome wants us to close up the well for good so she can forget about you guys and move on with her life. I wanted to know if you could talk to her about this."
"Of course I will. Something must be troubling her to have her make this kind of decision."
So Inuyasha climbed up to her window. Instead of just staring at her while she slept, he woke her up.
"Inuyasha what are you doing here?" Kagome's expression was both full of excitement and hatred.
"Your mom is worried about you. She said that your decision about closing up the well for good just is not a decision you would make willing. What made you decide to close up the well for good? Was it something I said or did? What's wrong with you Kagome?" As Inuyasha was talking, he was walking up to her and taking her hands in his. Kagome quickly pulls her hands away and turns towards the door. A tear twinkles in her eye.
"I just want to forget about you guys. I miss you all so much and I know I'm not needed anymore so I just want to close off the portal so I can forget about everything that has happened and move on with my life."
(Back at the Fudal Era, Inuyasha has informed the gang of Kagome's decision.)
"But we all miss her and do want her to come back!" shouted Songo and Moroku.
"She believes that she is no longer needed here so she's closing off the portal for good."
"Isn't there something we can do?" asked Songo.
"I don't know."
So Inuyasha and the gang sat around the well thinking on ways to keep Kagome from making the biggest mistake of her life. Then, unexpectedly, Kagome pops out of the well.
"Kagome!!!!!" shouted the entire group.
"Hey everyone!"
"I thought you were closing off the well?" said Moroku.
"I was but Inuyasha and my mom convinced me to come down here and see what big of a mistake I was about to make."
(Everyone goes to give a Kagome a hug but Inuyasha forces them away and holds her tight while looking deep into her eyes.)
"We're so glad you have come to your senses." Said Inuyasha.
"But why exactly did you want to close up the well for good?" asked Songo.
"I just thought that you guys no longer needed me. I believed that you guys only needed me to find the jewel shards and then that was it. So, after we defeated Naraku and found the shards, I went home. To make myself forget about all of the fun adventures I encountered in the Fudal Era. As I told my mother, it took me three years to work up the courage to ask to lock up the well. I was tired of hurting myself. I was always getting my hopes up when I heard a noise coming out of the shrine. It was always a mouse or a stray cat."
"Why would you think such things, Kagome? You know damn well that you mean so much to all of us. You also know how much you mean to me. I love you. You have known this since we started working together. If it were not for you, Naraku would be a full-fledged demon ruling the Fudal Era and your time. You are the only reason why I destroyed the shikone jewel and stayed a half demon. I did all of that for you. You know how much I have wanted to be a full-fledged demon. You taught me to love myself for however I am. Kagome, you are my reason for living. If it wasn't for you, I would have died a long time ago." (Inuyasha holds Kagome tighter and they both start to cry)
Kagome was touched by Inuyasha's speech. So was the entire group. Songo and Moroku started making out intimately and their children cried, "Ewwwwwww." Kagome was pouring out tears. The entire group was glad that Kagome had come to her senses and decided to come back to the Fudal Era. What the group did not know was that a new kind of evil was brewing while they were having their little happy reunion. . This demon's name is Hisherabi. He has the ability to take the forms of humans. This demon is going to be a big challenge for the Inu gang. Will they survive the grueling battle they are about to embark into?
"Meoga, What are you doing here?" asked Kagome.
"Sorry to break up this happy reunion but we have a big problem. There is this new demon lord named Hisherabi. He is headed to the well so he can get to the Modern Era."
"What!" exclaimed the group.
"Looks like you came back at the right time Kagome." Said Inuyasha.
"Thank you Inuyasha."
"What are we going to do?" asked Sichi.
"We are all going to stick together and fight. Just like old times right Kagome?" asked Inuyasha.
"Right."
The Gang all smiles to each other and is very glad that they are all together again for another great battle.
