Do not own Inuyasha.
Rest
Kagome stood at the outskirts of the village, the sun sat low in the eastern horizon. She looked at the waves crashing against the shore, her hand reached up, and cradled the little bottle that dangled from her necklace. When they awoke this morning Lady Satori was gone, a box, the shard resting atop it, lay in her place. Inside the box two kimono's and leggings from China rested within, along with a note. 'For the Shikon no miko' it said. The first, dark blue, with little white cherry blossoms stitched into it here and there. There were slits up the sides to allow freedom of movement. The leggings, a pale grey. The second, forest green, with the same cherry blossoms, put pink instead. The leggings, stark white. Kagome choose to wear the blue first, her hand ran along the fabric, silk, soft, and comfortable. Miroku had commented that she was beautiful before, but in the kimono she was breathtaking. Kagome blushed again, a smile lit up her features, thinking of the words. She determined to find boots to go with both outfits the next available opportunity, either here or home.
The group pressed on, Sango and Kilala scouted ahead. The days passed and the group headed back to Edo. Kagome would return home for two weeks, hopefully a lead would present itself in the hitherto.
Lord Sesshomaru left Rin, Ah-Un, and Jaken with Inuyasha, stating he had business to conduct. Shippo was happy to play with Rin, they in turn dragged Kohaku into playing also. Sango, Miroku, and Kilala traveled to some of the neighboring villages, looking for rumors of shards. Everyone was enjoying the much needed rest.
On the other side of the well, 500 years in the future, Kagome was studying. She had school tomorrow and a lot to make up for. She was grateful to her friends in this time for taking notes and helping her keep up. With her 'illness' it was hard sometimes to stay in the game with school. Her mother was enrolling her in home school once she finished her current semester, it would be easier on everybody. Kagome was no slouch, having a very high I.Q., but with her duties to the Shikon no tama, it was a challenge.
Kagomes' family also enjoyed having her home. Her mother worried for her constantly, but knew that her daughter had a duty given to her by the kami. Her grandfather was thrilled that his granddaughter is the Shikon no miko, a legend come to life in his time. Her brother though was happy to have his sister home, he couldn't annoy her if she wasn't here.
