Chapter 4: Secrets
It was sweet of her American friends to throw her the big bash last night for her 21st birthday. Little did they know, it wasn't her first time turning '21'. In reality, she never even turned 21 to begin with. After they had defeated Naraku, the completed Shikon no Tama returned to her body. For a while, the well still worked, then suddenly it didn't. After months of mourning her friends lost to time, she focused all her energies on her education. She completed high school and went off to university, graduating with honors in the medical field, receiving her PhD. After returning home, her mother pointed out that she looked like she hadn't aged a day since the well sealed. How could that be, she was 27 years old? Soon Kagome realized even the Shikon no Tama still has secrets left untold. There was no other explaination for her lack of aging. After another 3 years past with no physical change, she moved to the States, lowered her age to 18 and started university again, this time in History. She was a 30 year old woman, trapped in a 16 year olds body.
