You're Not Leaving Me Again
Tomorrow was here already, and Kagome wasn’t sure if she was quite ready. But the little teen in her was beaten down.
In her stead was a woman of a medium height, a proportionate body, now more well rounded; more womanly. With the extra weight, she was no longer a gawky girl, with long, lean legs, and too narrow of a waist. Now there was curvature. There was the tale-tell signs of Kagome being thoroughly matured.
She was wearing a cream-colored dress shirt, a V-neck that was tight on top, and flowed at the ends. Modern, feminine, and beautiful. Kagome also sported a pair of comfortable black jeans, and black leather-strapped sandals. She had a matching cream knit satchel thrown nonchalantly over her back.
Kagome, walked up the stairs of her family’s shrine, with the uneasiest feeling in the pit of her stomach, like she swallowed sheer pain, and was forced to live with it. She was used to it. Wasn’t that sad?
As Kagome neared the top of the stairs, she saw the tree. That tree. When the well had rejected her, and sent her hurdling back to her own time, she often spent time under this tree. Trying to get a connection with the past…what she had hoped was her future.
But those times were long gone, and now all she faced was the house she had been born in, and had grown up in. Soon to no longer belong to the Higurashi family. Kagome wished she could muster feelings of sadness for her mother and brother no longer being a block or two away, but she just couldn’t. They wouldn’t be far, she thought to herself.
Boxes stood proud in all their cardboard glory, waiting to be picked up and delivered to a new home. Kagome saw no sign of her family, they must not yet be up. Oh, well, she would wait, she needed to see one thing in particular…for the last time.
Kagome, walked to the small covered building, with a pain in each step. The shackles she kept so close to her heart, materializing and bearing her down under their weight. When she laid her pale, dainty hands on the wood, she felt it.
Her eyes widened, and a sharp paining pleasure shot up her arms to the rest of her body, giving her a jolt...a pulse. She hadn’t felt a pulse like that in…
Years.
What if ?…No, she couldn’t give herself false hope. She was a grown woman now and, she couldn’t play these games with herself like she used to. Getting up in the middle of the night, to jump into the well, and feel nothing but the cold hard earth of modern day Japan under her…
But…what if? Damn ‘what ifs’…they always seemed to get the better of humans didn’t they? And Kagome Higurashi was no exception. She braced herself, and stared into the blackness of the well. Was she this pathetic? Did she have to do this? Is this all that consumed her life anymore?
…The answer was yes.
Without a second thought, Kagome launched her body over the side of the well, and shut her eyes tight, bracing her legs for the hard earth…
In a blinding flash of white fire, her eyes opened, and her body relaxed…because when she hit earth again…it was not the earth of the present. But the earth of a time, long ago.
Feudal Japan. Her home. Where she had wished herself everyday since they defeated Naraku, and she was thrust back. Back to a world she realized she didn’t belong in. And now…and now…she just knew…she was back!
Kagome hit the ground with a ‘thud’, and she lay there for a long time, not daring to believe anything at this point. She couldn’t hear for a long while, and then suddenly she heard it.
The sweet chirping of birds, and the rustling of bushes…a forest.
Kagome gave out a devastating cry. A cry for a soul that she once thought was lost. Now found. She lay there clutching the soil in her hands, tears dripping from her pale cheeks, and she sobbed. A full-bodied sob that shook her bones, and made her organs ache. She was home…
Then she looked up…the sky was dark. She had arrived at night. Kagome, sighed…and then jumped up with horror. ‘Oh my god I have to get out of this well! I won’t go back now! I won’t take the chance!’
Kagome, used vines to scramble up the entrance. She realized she had no more difficulty than she used to, when she was 16. But then again, fear this intense can startle a grandmother to pick a car up off her dying grandchild.
Once she was free, she gave a final heave, and found herself on sweet smelling grass. She hugged it to her body. She was home…
“K-Kagome?!?!”
Kagome’s eyes widened. She didn’t recognize the voice…but someone knew her! SOMEONE SHE KNEW WAS HERE!
Kagome moved so swiftly to her feet, she tripped, and almost went backwards over the edge, and into the well again. ‘NO!!!’
She heard a fierce growl, and then strong, hard arms grabbed at her waist and pulled her against the hard, warm body of her savior…
“You will not be leaving me yet again, Kagome”
