Chapter Five:
Present Day Japan:
"Inuyasha!" Kagome's heart was racing. Tears flowed out of her eyes and she realized it was only a dream. Was that some sort of message? She shook her head, got out of bed and looked outside her window. "What a beautiful day, wish I was on the other side…" Kagome looked at the calendar that was hanging over her bed. "Three long years, since I've last seen Inuyasha." There was a sudden knock on her door.
"Kagome, may I come in?" asked Mrs. Higurashi.
"Yeah, mom what's up?"
"Kagome, how do you feel about Inuyasha?" There was an awkward silence between the two, but Kagome's voice broke it off.
"Whh-hat do you mean? Kagome said in a low voice.
"Okay, I know what you mean… it's been three years mom…" her voice began to crack. began to comfort her daughter.
"Mom… I had a dream; Inuyasha was there… he mentioned something about how my feelings are the reason why the well isn't opening up. What is that supposed to mean mom?"
"Kagome, there's so much for me to tell you." Mrs. Higurashi said in a gentle tone.
"It was back when you're father wasn't sure if I was ready to marry him yet. Your father loved me so much and wanted to marry me right away. I was a confused girl; we were still pretty young then. Surely I did know that I loved him with all my heart."
"So, what did you do?" asked Kagome
"It was funny really, your father asked gramps if he should propose to me. I had a feeling he would… I wasn't sure if I was ready to be in such a commitment. I didn't want to break his heart. I loved him so much. One night he took me out, not to a fancy restaurant or a movie but instead he brought me right outside… to the sacred tree. We talked, we laughed and we gazed at the stars. The sacred tree really made us connect. In that moment I knew I was ready, your father asked me to be his wife…"
"But how, how did you know you were ready?" yelled Kagome cutting off her mother
"the sacred tree, really is amazing. It's so pure and when you walk by it, or even stare at the tree you kind of feel who you are. You get to feel your true feelings. It's always been with us, when your father proposed, when we had you and Sota. Kagome I brought up this story because you remind me of who I was once upon a time. The confused teenager who was in love; I want you to go by the sacred tree and tell me how you feel. Only you will know if you're ready to take the next step."
Kagome was left speechless. "Mom, how did you know I needed to hear that?" Mrs. Higurashi gave her daughter a bright smile. "I heard you mumbling Inuyasha's name under your breath, it must've been so hard for you, for the past three years to move with your life without the one you love" Kagome's face saddened. "But you did it mom, you're doing it right now…" "When your father passed away from being ill, I wasn't myself. It took me a long time to get over his death, but with the blessing of Sota and yourself I knew I couldn't give up." "Mom, you truly are an inspiration" Kagome kissed her mother's cheek and went outside.
Kagome walked over to the sacred tree. The tree is blossoming, cherry blossoms at a time like this what's the occasion? Kagome gently put her hand over the tree. She felt a warm and peaceful presence; it almost felt like she was back in the feudal era.
Feudal Japan:
"Alright you two, do you want to tell me if my painting is nice?" Inuyasha starred at the twins and smiled. "Uncle-Inu, I wanna paint too!" "Me to, me to" yelled out Ai and Mai. "You girls are too young, you're going to ruin my drawing!" explained Inuyasha. The twins began to cry. If these were my kids, what would I do? Just let them sit here and cry? Inuyasha looked at Ai and Mai had a vision:
"Daddy, daddy where's mommy?" yelled out a half-demon child.
"Mommy's helping Jinenji right now; do you want to take a walk little one?"
The young child held her father's hand and smiled. "I love you daddy!"
Inuyasha smiled. "Ai and Mai, if you want you can paint some of the children's room." The twin girls screamed out in excitement. "You're the best Inu!" said Ai as she tugged on Inuyasha's red kimono. The large house was looking better by the minute. Inuyasha and his friends were working long hours on the house. The furniture was ready; the walls had beautiful cherry blossom designs. It was beautiful. Inuyasha held both of the girl's hands and led them to the last room that needed to be completed.
"Alright you two, you see that wooden frame over there? I want you two to design anything you'd like on it" The twins ran to the wooden frame. "Inu, where's the paint?" said Mai. Inuyasha handed them over some paint and a paintbrush. "What do you wanna draw Ai?" "I wanna make it a surprise!" yelled out Ai. "Alright you two, stay right here I'm going to get your parents!" Inuyasha left behind the two young girls in search for Sango and Miroku.
"Miroku, Sango where the hell you guys at?" yelled out Inuyasha. "Were over here hard head!" yelled out Miroku. Inuyasha walked into the kitchen and saw the couple sitting down. "You guys, this place looks great." "No Inuyasha, this house is amazing. If we knew you were such an architect we would have asked you to create our house, haha isn't that right Sango?" The couple laughed. "Inuyasha, where's Ai and Mai?" Inuyasha smiled. "Don't worry; they're in the children's room." "Why would you let them be alone?" Sango yelled as she carried Kenta and ran to the children's room. "Inuyasha you're an idiot!" yelled out Miroku. "Oh shut your trap, the children are fine!" "Mommy, daddy, Uncle-Inu look what me and Ai did!" The young girl showed them the painting they did on the wooden frame. It was a picture of Inuyasha. Inuyasha smirked. "I'm just glad you two are safe" whispered Sango.
Kenta began to cry and Sango and Miroku knew it was time to go home. "Inuyasha, Kenta is getting hungry and it's been a long day and-""No need to say furthermore Miroku, I think we are all tired" Inuyasha led the family to the front of the house. "Alright you guys see you tomorrow" said Inuyasha. "Oh, Inuyasha as usual, too shy to say thank you" said Sango. "Feh. I could've done it without you guys but whatever" Miroku whispered in Sango's ear "I think that's the best of a thanks we will ever get from him." The family said their goodbye and went off to their home.
Present Day Japan:
Kagome stared at the sacred tree and thought of a poem.
"Memories of everything has settled. This is a warm place to be. The stars separate us from the future; we are always so brilliant so shine… In endlessly repeating time, we were searching for love, because we wanted to become stronger. We look up to the faraway sky."
There was suddenly a warm breeze and Kagome felt peaceful. She put her hand on the tree and closed her eyes.
Feudal Japan:
Inuyasha slowly opened his eyes. What is this feeling? I feel so warm… Inuyasha got out of his bed and walked out of his house. It was six a clock and the weather was just perfect. Inuyasha went over to the well. Every three days Inuyasha went over to the well to see if Kagome would re appear. "Still no sign of Kagome…" He felt a warm and peaceful presence near the sacred tree. He walked over to the tree put his hands over it. "Wh-what's this feeling?"
KPV
Kagome opened her eyes. "Inuyasha…" It seems as if I can feel his warm presence, right here with me.
IPV
"Kagome, are you there Kagome?" Inuyasha's heart was racing fast. I can feel her but I can't see her…
KPV
"I can see it so clearly now, my feelings are the reason why the well isn't opening up. I was confused; I didn't know what I wanted. That's why the well shut on me in the first place. Inuyasha, I WANT TO BE WITH YOU AGAIN."
IPV
"Kagome… I want to be with you again" Inuyasha knew Kagome couldn't hear him. He heard every word she said. He took his hands off of the tree and walked to the bone eaters well. "I'll wait forever for you Kagome, you are my mate"
Present Day Japan:
I know what I have to do, thank you sacred tree. Kagome went into the Higurashi Shrine and touched the Bone eaters well. "I remember; I was separated from everyone for three whole days. I was in darkness, I didn't know if Inuyasha was going to come for me. I had to make a wish upon the Shikon no Tama; I wished that the jewel should disappear forever. I spoke the correct wish and… Inuyasha and I were separated…"
"Kagome, is that you?" Mrs. Higurashi walked into the shrine and put her hand over her daughter's shoulder.
"Mom, I know what I have to do…" Kagome gave her mom a warm hug.
"Kagome, whatever you do you know I'll always love you" She gave her mother a nod.
Kagome looked down at the well and spoke lightly. "Inuyasha, I want to be with you again. I want to live in the feudal era with you. I was confused, I was scared but now it's all so clear to me…" There was a sudden breeze below her. She looked down at the well and noticed it had opened up. "Mom, it opened up..." Kagome's eyes began to tear.
"Mom, I…"
"Kagome, you don't need to say more. I just want the best for you and I know you want to be there with Inuyasha"
"Mom, I want to say bye to Sota and Gramps I don't know if I'll be back."
Kagome and her mother walked into the house. "Sota, Grampa come here!" Kagome said as she gave them both a big hug. "I'm leaving… I don't know if I'll be back and" Sota cut his sister off. "Are you going to see Inuyasha sis?" Kagome's mother smiled. "Yes Sota." "Listen Kagome, I want you to take some good luck charms with you, you never know back in the feudal era" added on Kagome's grand-father.
"Oh gramps, I'm going to miss you so much!" Kagome gave her family a goodbye kiss. They walked her to the Higurashi shrine. "Goodbye everyone…" said Kagome and she wiped away her tears.
Feudal Japan:
Inuyasha looked down at the well. She's coming, she's almost here. My Kagome…
Inuyasha looked down at the well. He felt a familiar presence, a scent that he'd never, ever forget. He stuck out his hand and felt someone hold on to it. That warm touch. Her warm touch. Inuyasha looked down and saw Kagome's brown eyes. He lifted her up and they were face to face.
