Kagome's Life Changes

It was the afternoon in feudal era Japan, and it was the fourth day of Kagome's disappearance to her own time. Inuyasha was just about to get her when his nose crinkled up to a familiar scent. "Naraku…" He whispered into the wind and turned to Miroku, who was also tense. "You sense him too Miroku?" He asked.

"Yes. He seems not that far." Miroku replied.

"No, he's behind us!" Inuyasha yelled and whipped around to see a giant demon standing above the bone eaters well. Its skin was an ugly maroon, and it had three horns coming out of its forehead. Its eyes were deep purple, almost black. It had tangled and wild green hair and it must have been 15 ft tall. It had some sort of club in its hand.

Inuyasha growled and pulled out the Tetsusaiga from its sheath. Miroku moved gracefully beside him in a fighting stance, staff in hand. The demon roared to the sky, causing birds to fly out of the nearby trees, and then it raised its club above its head and brought it crashing down. Inuyasha and Miroku jumped out of the way, but their eyes widened at the ear-splitting crack of wood.

As they both recovered, they looked to see the bone eaters well in hundreds of pieces, and it looked to be beyond repair. Inuyasha roared in anger, and hollered, "Miroku as soon as I use my wind scar, use some sutras!" Miroku nodded his head in acknowledgment, and then Inuyasha raised his sword into the air, "WIND SCAR!" He brought it down, and bright yellow lights shot across the ground at the demon. As soon as it was cut into pieces Miroku threw four sutras at it, turning the demon into ashes.

The wind started to blow onto the battle scene. Inuyasha's hair blew in front of his face; Miroku's also blowing lightly in the wind. The ashes swirled into a spiral, and then they danced away. Inuyasha sheathed his Tetsusaiga and moved towards the remains of the well. He started to move the wood out of the way, and then he jumped into the hole waiting for the usual purplish blue light to engulf him but it never came.

He kept jumping back out, and back in. He was determined to get to Kagome, but after about the 20th try, he was out of breath and frustrated to the max. Miroku watched him as he stacked the broken pieces of wood in-between two trees to get it out of the way. When he was done he walked over to Inuyasha and asked, "How's Kagome going to return here, if you can't get there?"

Inuyasha looked to the well, and then at Miroku, "I don't know, but you go get Kaede, and see if she knows anything that will help."

"What will you do?" Miroku asked curiously. "Jumping in and out of it obviously isn't working."

Inuyasha scowled and then replied, "Don't worry about me. You get to the village and I'll go try something." With that said, Inuyasha headed into the trees, and Miroku headed towards the village.

Inuyasha had finally made it to the sacred tree. He leaned his body against, willing himself to feel the tree, not only on a psychical sense but mentally and emotionally too. 'Kagome, if you can hear me please answer.' Inuyasha thought through the tree, hoping that it would still work from the last time they had done this.

Back in Kagome's era;

Kagome was standing at the bottom of the bone eaters well, staring at the ground, tears welled in her eyes, and confusion etched across her face. 'Why isn't it working?' She thought. Suddenly Kagome felt a strange power, and she headed out of the well house and towards the sacred tree. She ran her hand over it and Inuyasha's voice appeared into her mind.

'I'm here Inuyasha, what's wrong? What happened to the well? It's not working.' Kagome asked him through the tree and her thoughts.

'Oh, there you are Kagome! One of Naraku's reincarnations came and smashed the well when it went to attack us. I tried to get through it to you, but it wasn't working, so I sent Miroku to the village to get the others help. Don't worry, Miroku and I are fine. We're going to find a way to fix the well and get you here Kagome. Hopefully, it won't take that long.' Inuyasha thought to her.

'Oh okay Inuyasha, I'll check up on you tonight then, here?' She asked him.

'Yes, when the moon is the highest in the sky, you might feel me here anyway, though.' He replied.

'Okay Inuyasha, good luck. My mom's calling for me. Bye.' She said to him and then pulled from the tree and heading off to her home.

Two years later;

"KA-GO-ME!" Kagome's mother called for her from the house. She saw Kagome running up the walk, and she smiled. "There you are Kagome dear, you have mail." She said handing Kagome a letter.

Kagome smiled and said "Thank you" to her mom as she took the letter. She flipped it over to reveal a strange symbol in the shape of a gold H were it was sealed shut. She stared at it for a moment, and ran a finger over it, before snapping the letter open.
