Kagome felt tears prick her eyes as she looked up and saw the roof of her well house and grabbed onto the ladder, climbing up and stepping out of the well. Walking up the door of the well house, she didn’t know what to say to her mother about why she’d been gone for 6 whole months without dropping by for supplies or anything of that sort. Sliding the door open, she took a deep breath of the night air and walked towards her home, she had missed her era terribly.
Walking up to her front door, she paused before she opened it, she didn’t know what reaction to expect from her family. Taking a deep breath, the miko slid open the door and walked inside quietly, taking her shoes off. “Mama? Souta? Grandpa?” she called out, looking around for them as she walked through the house. The sound of a shoji door sliding open reached her ears and she came face to face with the sorrow-filled brown eyes of her mother.
“K-Kagome?” came her meek voice, her eyes filling with tears.
“Yes okaa-san, I’m home,” she said softly, as soon as the words left her mouth she was pulled into a tight embrace by her mother.
“Oh Kagome! We thought you were gone for good!” her mother sobbed, clinging onto her. “No mama, I’m alive,” she whispered into her mother’s shoulder, gratefully accepting the warm embrace from her mother. “What happened to you Kagome? Why were you gone so long?” her mother asked.
“Let’s go sit down mama and then I’ll tell you what happened the past 6 months,” Kagome said, leading her mother into the living room and sitting next to her. “Whatever you do mama, don’t interrupt me until I’m completely finished with my story,” she told her mother and then launched into what happened to her the past 6 months.
“Oh my poor baby girl!” her mother sobbed as she launched another hug on her 17 year old daughter. “I am going to give that baka a piece of my mind the next time I see him,” Sakimi, her mother, said, referring to Inuyasha. “Don’t bother mama, he won’t be coming back here anytime soon if I have anything to do with it,” Kagome said. “I’ll only be here for a week and then I’ll be going back to finish my quest, I don’t know what will happen after we finish the jewel and destroy it. I might not come back until after I finish my quest mama,” she warned.
“As I told you, Lord Sesshomaru has offered to train me to defend myself, so he will need my undivided attention, I’ll get enough supplies to last a year,” Kagome said and stood up, “I’m going to go take a bath and get some sleep, I’ll talk to Jii-san and Souta in the morning, good night,” she whispered and walked upstairs to her room without another word.
After soaking in the herbal water of her bath for an hour, she got out and dried off, getting dressed in her night clothes and then, curling up in bed. Finally in the comfort of her own room, Kagome placed a sound barrier around it and let herself break down for the first time since she was first in Naraku’s palace. She felt so dirty and after the fight with Inuyasha, she felt even more self-hatred for how weak she truly was; how blind she had been to the way the hanyou felt about her. She was nothing but a copy; a copy of the woman he loved and to him she was a worthless copy, only useful in seeing the shards.
Kagome cried herself to sleep that night, unable to stop crying or dwelling on what happened. She didn’t know if she would ever fully recover; she intended on staying in the feudal era long enough to complete her quest and then she was gone from the wretched places
A few days later:
Kagome sighed as she swept the steps of the shrine, dressed in miko garbs for the annual festival that her grandfather put on for the public. This year he was having her demonstrate her abilities in archery as well as her knowledge about the Shikon jewel. She was to tell the history of the jewel and how it came to be in the shrine. She was to tell the story of the tragedy of Inuyasha and Kikyo, which was not something she was looking forward to.
“Excuse me miss, but do you happen to know with Akumo Higurashi is?” a smooth male voice drifted across her senses and it snapped her out of her thoughts. Raising her brown eyes, she smiled at the man and bowed to him. “Welcome to Sunset Shrine, I am Higurashi Kagome, granddaughter to Higurashi Akumo; unfortunately he is not present at the moment because he is getting the remainder of the supplies for the festival tonight” she informed the male.
“Gomen ne, Higurashi-san; I didn’t hear some of that because I was lost in the beauty of this shrine and the maiden in front of me,” he put on a charming smile. Kagome smiled slightly and bowed to him again, “you flatter me, may I have your name?” she asked with a pretty blush on her slightly tan cheeks.
“Gomen once more Higurashi-san, my name is Tarukan Saito,” he introduced, bowing to her and pressing a kiss to her knuckles. This brought another blush to Kagome’s face, “it is a pleasure to meet you Tarukan-sama,” she said, bowing back to him. “Please, Higurashi-san, just call me Saito,” he said.
“Fine, as long as you call me Kagome, Saito-chan,” she said with a bright smile. “I think I can do that Kagome,” he said, smiling at her with that same charming smile he had introduced himself with.
“Is there anything else I can help you with Saito-chan?” she asked, keeping a polite smile on her face. “Well I would like to ask the beautiful lady in front of me out on a date, and I would like a tour of the shrine,” he said. Kagome found herself blushing yet again for the third time that day.
“I can most definitely give you a tour of the shrine and where would the date be?” she asked softly. She really wasn’t ready to date but maybe if it was platonic then she’d consider it. “I was thinking maybe dinner and a movie, I promise to be a complete gentleman, I find you to be beautiful and would enjoy getting to know you,” he said with a smile.
“Hmm, a complete gentleman huh? Which means you wouldn’t try anything, eh?” she asked him with a slight smile.
“I am a man of honor, Miss Kagome, I would never take advantage of a girl especially on the first date,” he said with what seemed like a hurt look in his eye that she would assume such a thing of him.
“I’m so sorry for assuming such things Saito-chan, I went through something recently and I just don’t trust people as easily as I used to,” she said with a sad expression on her face. “Oh no offense was taken Kagome, I promise but I give you my word that I will be a gentleman,” he said to her.
“Alright, dinner and a movie sounds good, what day and time?” she asked him, she swore that the grin he gave her had lit up his entire face.
“Seriously!? Awesome! How does tomorrow at 7 sound?” he asked with the grin on his face. Kagome smiled, “it’s a date then, ah my grandpa’s back if you would like to speak to him now,” she said.
“Yeah, I’m going to be a part of the festival tonight for the Inuyasha/Kikyo skit they are doing to tell the tragic story,” he said. “Really? Unfortunately I am playing the part of Kikyo,” she said, motioning to her miko garbs. Another grin spread across his face, “so I get to spend even more time with you? Now I’m excited that your grandpa decided to choose me for this part,” he said with another charming smile and placed another kiss on her knuckles, “until we see each other again, beautiful Kagome,” he said and walked away with a wave of his hand.
Kagome blinked in surprise before shaking her head, continuing her duties as the shrine maiden and thinking about how exactly to depict the story between Inuyasha and Kikyo, she honestly didn’t want to do any of the kissing scenes but it might be necessary for people to get the impact of the betrayal that had gone down.
Thinking of the tragedy made her think of Naraku who had been involved with it all, she repressed shiver, depression she thought she had been over clouding her mind once again as she walked inside the house to prepare for the festival.
