Chapter Thirteen: Return
Becoming easily frustrated with the crowbar, she tried harder to pry away the wood that boarded up the well. Crying out as she began to hack away at the middle of the ply wood, hoping to get better results. Sweat glistened on her forehead as a frown covered her face. The sun had been up for a while and yet she still wasn’t that far in getting closer to returning to the feudal era.
Throwing the crow bar to the ground, Kagome growled angrily as she climbed to a standing position on the plywood. Thinking that her weight would help, she began to jump up and down frantically, she had to get back to InuYasha and somehow she would at any and all costs. Hearing the wood beginning to give away, she smiled victoriously as she jumped on it one last time before she fell through and was sent falling into the darkness of the well.
Kagome’s eyes were shut tightly as she expected to impact with the hard ground at the bottom of the well, but she didn’t. Her heart leapt in her chest as she opened her eyes and looked up into the white clouded blue sky. She practically screamed with joy as she scrambled onto her feet and started to eagerly climb out of the well.
“Oh dear god!” She exclaimed as she climbed out of the well and onto the green grass, “I’m actually here! I’m back in feudal Japan!”
Taking a deep breath, Kagome tried to relax and calm herself down. It was working, but she was too exited to see her old friends again, to see how much they had grown in the last ten years. Glancing around, Kagome took off in a run towards the village. At first she felt like she was being pulled in the other direction, but she had to get to the village. She had to see Miroku, Sango and possibly the elderly priestess Kaede, given if she was still alive after all the time that had slowly passed.
Upon entering the waking village, Kagome could se the children running around as other villagers calmly went along with their daily routine. Nobody seemed to pay attention to her, but she didn’t actually mind one bit. Running to Kaede’s but, Kagome looked inside. Nobody was home, but it was obviously certain that the elderly woman still resided there.
Kagome exited the hut and carefully looked around as she spotted what looked like a little boy in front of a small group of child as if he was telling a story. Smiling, she went over and listened in as the boy told what probably was one of his bedtime stories to his friends.
“…That’s when my father said that the half demon turned demon had slain the evil youkai known as Naraku…” The boy smiled with pride as the kid’s oooed and awed while some asked for him to continue on with another exciting story.
“Where does the half demon currently reside these days?” Kagome asked startling the little boy.
“My parents say that he is in InuYasha’s Forest.” He replied, “They say that he had gone insane because the woman he loved had gone back to her own time.. And that an evil priestess came to kill the half demon in revenge for slaying her many years before…”
“What happened to InuYasha?” Kagome questioned curiously as her heart pounded fiercely in her throat.
“He is pinned to the sacred tree deep inside the forest,” He said matter of factly, “My parents say that the evil priestess had pinned him there while he tried to save the woman he loved from leaving yet again, but the evil priestess got to him first..”
“How do your parents know all this?” She asked skeptically as wanted to not believe the boy’s words.
“Because they used to travel with him when they were fighting against Naraku.” The village boy said crossing his arms over his chest stubbornly, “That’s what Lady Kaede told me and she doesn’t lie!”
A look of fear played on her face ass he stared at the boy, Kaede had told him? So he must be Sango and Miroku’s child. That meant that InuYasha was really pinned to a tree. Glancing back at the forest, Kagome gripped her heart before she tore off into the direction in which she had just come from. She had to find the tree where the little boy had claimed where the hanyou was, she had to see for herself if it in fact was the truth.
As she ran, her sandals had fallen off her feet and were now forgotten. She had to see for herself, Kagome just couldn’t let herself believe that InuYasha had gone insane, that he was pinned to the Goshinboku tree and that the little boy had only said it to make himself look cool in the eyes of the other village children. Her hair had become untied from the ribbon and it now fluttered behind her in a shower of jet black.
She soon was surrounded by armies of the light deprived trees. The twigs and leaves crunching underneath her feet as she ran. Kagome could see an assortment of bright and colorful lights, and the first thing that came to mind was the northern lights. The forest around her was oddly empty, there were no birds singing, the only sounds were the sounds of her pants as she ran, her heavy breathing, and her erratic beating heart, not to mention the pitter-patter sounds of her feet each time they touched the ground. But other than that the forest was eerily quiet still.
Kagome could feel the presence of somebody watching her as she steadily came closer. It was that of something very familiar, but completely estranged. Stumbling out onto a small little clearing, she didn’t notice Miroku’s unconscious form laying a few feet beside her. No, her heart stopped as her blood ran cold. A cross between an anguished cry and a gasp sputtered from her mouth, the little boy had been right because there was InuYasha, his shoulder pinned to the tree looking as if he was merely asleep.
~~oOo~~
Kaede walked slowly back to her hut at a sluggish pace, for her old age was beginning to wear down the elderly woman. She wouldn’t let her age get in the way of aiding hers and the other neighboring villages though, not when the demons had began to liven up their activities. There was a gloom aura surrounding the village as she entered.
She would have to go over to the monk’s and demon slayer’s home to see what all had happened during her three day’s absence. Sighing heavily, Kaede settled herself down and immediately began to boil water for her tea. Maybe she was still alive because she drank so much tea all the time, but it didn’t really matter because she was planning to live for a long time while still to come.
“Lady Kaede?” A soft voice asked barely above a whisper.
“Aye my child, come in.” She replied not looking up, “I’ve been curious to what has been going on.. What ill’s ye Sango?”
The elderly woman looked at the demon slayer, the young woman’s eyes were red and puffy and she was trembling horribly. Sango looked like she had been crying non-stop about something for a while and she was not the type of person who would allow herself to look as she currently had.
“He’s gone Lady Kaede,” Sango chocked out as she sullenly sat down next to the elderly priestess, “He’s gone and it’s all my fault!”
“Who’s gone? My child what has happened to make ye so upset?” Kaede asked worriedly.
As soon as Sango was able to keep herself from bursting out in tears, she went on to explain everything that had transpired between her and Miroku. Kaede was surprised with what was being told to her. It was true that the couple fought with each other on a daily basis, but the monk had never once just walked away, let alone not come back before nightfall. Something unexpected must have happened, but what is something that Kaede couldn’t even begin to ponder.
“Granny Kaede! Granny Kaede!” Two very energetic children yelled excitedly as they came running into the hut.
“Aye?” She asked giving the children a warm smile as she poured Sango and herself some tea.
“You wouldn’t believe what happened today!” Seiko squealed jumping up and down.
“Tell me my child, what happened that I wouldn’t believe?” The elderly priestess asked.
“While I was telling some of my friends the story mommy, daddy and you tell us,” Minoru interrupted with the same amount of enthusiasm of his little sister, “And there was this lady listening! I never seen her in the village before!”
Kaede raised an eyebrow and curiously glanced over at Sango who had her head lowered, her eyes gazing at the wooden floor as her cup sat lifelessly in her hands. She was curiously to whom would listen to a child tell stories, especially so early in the morning when everyone was doing their chores.
“Where is this visiting woman now?” Sango questioned curiously but the sadness was still in her voice, “And what did she look like?”
“She was wearing a priestess robe like Granny Kaede,” Seiko said glancing over at her older brother, “And when Minoru told her about InuYasha forest and how a hanyou was pinned to the sacred tree she took off to the forest in a hurry…”
Sango shot up and her children gasped as the cup of tea shattered on impact with the ground. It was certain now who the visitor was, but how was a question that no one could answer at the moment.
“Sango my child relax,” Kaede said placing a hand on the tense woman’s shoulder, “Ye need to relax. Things may only seem to get worse if we don’t wait some things out.. It will be okay…”

Tsubaki’s P.O.V.
Watching this Kikyo imitation coming forth from the bone eater’s well and rather enthusiastically intrigues me. I could sense her and I had awake out of my sleeping vegetative state to investigate this foul creature. She is the reincarnation of the wretch herself, Kikyo. The woman who I despised so, I had almost ridded myself of the pure and powerful maiden, but alas I was brought down by the sharp claws of her hanyou lover InuYasha.
For eleven years I had suffered in the deepest flames of hell, but I was destined to rise again. Naraku had been the one to revive me, though in a mere shadow of my old body. I had to strive off the souls of the dead maidens, that his loyal demons collected for me. I slowly regained my strength, along with my malicious and missed miko powers, but yet I still wasn’t as strong as I desired to be. I had soon found out that the half demon InuYasha still roamed the earth and I was going to bide my time before I would strike him down for destroying a beautiful face like mine.
When Naraku was easily thwarted, I laughed, he had underestimated his opponent and paid for his stupid mistakes. I waited until things had calmed down before taking my prize and absorbing all of Naraku’s blood from the soil where he was slain, and I gained immense power. I no longer life off puny humans, maybe an occasional weak youkai or two, but that’s just to increase my own abilities.
I had begun to claim my vengeance, this reincarnation mysteriously showed up and then the monk foiled my plans when he attacked me and drastically pushed back my death date for the hanyou. But no, this time it will be different because I can sense this woman’s immense spiritual powers and the trusty katana at my side still craves for her blood and as I let it loose, it will drain her dry and she will strengthen me for the final battle.
~~oOo~~
And there is the chapter... *sighs* I really have to start writting this story again, but I'm so lazy it's not funny anymore... SO I don't know when the next chapter will be up but it will so don't worry!
Until next time, Krystal.
