Chapter One: Homecoming

Kagome Higurashi looked around at her surroundings. Clearly looking for something or someone. Her shappire orbs stopped on a red chad figure known as Inu Yasha. He was, like always. perched on a branch high up in a tree. He was almost concealed by the thick green lush leaves of the tree. His face was devoid of any emotion...well besides irratation. To anyone that didn't know him very well would think he was in a deep slumber. But Kagome knew he wasn't.

"Inu Yasha?!" she called up into the tree. Waiting for him to give her some kind of response. It never came. Ever since Kikyou joined the little shard hunting group Inu Yasha ascted as though she didn't exist. But over time she got used to this.

"Inu Yasha SIT!" She yelled as she watch him crash down several branches on his one way ticket to the ground. She shook her head, sadly this was the only way to get him to pay her any attention.

"What do you want Kagome?" He spat her name like it had a bad taste. Or maybe it was the dirt in his mouth. She didn't know and really didn't care. She waited till he got up from the ground. He stood up mumbling while dusting himself off.

"I'm going home. Today is my 18th birthday and my family is expecting me." She explained while adjusting her yellow bag on her shoulder. She had told the others before she left camp looking for Inu Yasha. Who just jumped onto another branch. Doing his little pose.

"Feh... Why don't you just stay there. Naraku is gone and we don't really need you to gather up the rest of the shards." He said hatefully stating what she already knew. She knew she isn't needed but she stayed for Sango, Shippou, and Miroku's sake. And for some strange reason this place felt to much like home and she wasn't going to let Inu Yasha take that away from her.

"I'll be back tomorrow afternoon... Okay Inu Yasha?" She asked in a deadpan that would even give Sesshomaru a run for his money. Inu Yasha closed his eyes and turned his head to the side. Seeing this was her only reply She turned and started walking towards the Bone Eater's Well. Her raven colored hair that reached midways her back. Was being blown carelessly in the light breeze.

Over the years she had developed fighting abilities. But it was unknown to the rest of the group. In their eyes she is still weak innocent Kagome. She didn't do anything to change thier mind either, because that was the way she wanted it.

To tell the truth. She didn't plan on giving Inu Yasha the Shikon no Tamm. If push comes to shove she will fight him for it. But she wasn't as careful as she should've been. One person knew of her abilities. Sesshomaru, the Lord of The Western Lands.

She laughs everytime she remembers how he figured out. His facial expression was priceless. She remembered the day like it was 5 minutes ago....

She had gotten attack by a snake youkai. He was unnaturally strong for he had 5 jewel shards. She was playing around with him at first. But when he ripped her shirt she decided play time was over. She began to move with gracefulness that a human girl, let alone any human should process. She purified the youkai within seconds. It was then, when Sesshomaru decided to show himself. Kagome smiled at the shocked expression on his face.

After that night he trained her. She was almost as good as him. But no matter how she tried to beat him she couldn't. At night sometimes she lie awake staring up at the stars trying to make it believeable to even herself. Human hating Sesshomaru stooped down train a lowly human.

Stopping in front of the well. She let at a deep sigh. Shaking her head mentally. She swung her legs into the mouth of the wll. Dropping down into the dark abyss. To her personal portal to the future, her home. Not fully prepared for what was going to transpire in mere minutes.
