Konbanwa Minna-sama!!!!!!!!! I'm baaack. Aren't you glad!!!


And now chapter3: Reflection

Kagome jumped deep into the deep abyss that would take her to the feudal era. She patiently awaited the blue purple misty lights of time travel, but none came. She leaped out of the well and grabbed onto the lip, she tried again, but still nothing happened.

The well refused to let her through, cause she's not human, well not any more at least.

`This is just like the time when Inuyasha took my jewel shards then sent me home' Kagome mused. She fingered the jewel shards in her pocket; she could already feel the aura changing. She needed to purify them to get through.

She took them out; only one had the pure pink aura Kagome once possessed, she threw it in the well. It sank deep within the dirt as Kagome jumped in yet again.

The misty lights of time greeted her, but not in a kind way. As if sensing her tainted aura, the mist stung at her each time she came in contact with it. She didn't even flinch, the stings didn't faze her in the least, they just felt like annoying little pricks on the skin, continuous annoying pricks. Her kind had a very high tolerance for pain. Yes, her kind.

She silently landed on the bottom of the well, she looked up, the sky was dark but the signs of sunrise were already showing. She stealthily leaped out of the well and onto the clearing that would lead her to Kaede's village.

She heard the indistinct sound of a child wailing, it reminded her of her little kit. She couldn't let him see her, not like this, especially not like this. Her heart clenched at the realization that she may never be able to hug her kit again, or sit Inuyasha for pissing her off, or slap Miroku for being a lech, or hug Sango for being a big sister. She may never be able to do all those things.

She walked into the village, silently and stealthily, the villagers were too busy going about their daily routines to notice the strange aura walking amidst them. Not that they could tell anyways. She passed Inuyasha who was perched on a tree, he seemed to be sleeping peacefully, she could tell he was still alert; his ears were twitching at every sound.

Sango was quarreling with and unconscious Miroku for groping her yet again, she had her hirikotsu (sp?) in hand ready to deliver another blow if his hands decided to pull another stunt. Kagome laughed silently to herself, oh how she was gonna miss all this.

Sango and a now conscious Miroku froze; they felt an ominous presence.

"Do you feel it my dear Sango?" the lecher asked

"Hai houshi" Sango answered, scanning the area for the definite source of the aura.

Damnit how could she have been so stupid?! Kagome mentally smacked herself. Although her presence could be hidden from human eyes, those few with mystical senses could still feel her aura! Especially since hers is more than toeing the line of good and evil!

She slowly backed up into the nearby brush, careful not to snap any twigs or shuffle any leaves, as hard as that may sound. When she was out of range, Inuyasha jumped into view.

"What's going on?" she heard him ask, but Sango and Miroku gave no reply, they just continued scanning. Inuyasha also began scanning, he made eye contact with Kagome. It was as if all time froze, Kagome began to panic a bit, but then calmed down when Inuyasha looked away from her.

Apparently he wasn't concentrating enough so he only saw a waver of energy. Half demons are immune to the spell, but because they have human blood, they have to concentrate to see through the spell.

Shippo walked into view with Kirara, who was in her kitten form. Kirara stared intently at Kagome. The fire-cat upturned her head a bit in a very kuwaii way, silently wondering if that person she was looking at was really whom she thought it was.

Kagome just silently prayed to the gods that Kirara didn't figure it out. As if reading her thoughts, Kirara just looked away. Kagome let out the breath she didn't realize she was holding.

Finally dismissing their previous suspicions, the remainder of the inu- tachi went back to their business. Kagome, figuring that she's seen enough, walked deeper into the forest in search of a place to think.

She looked up into the sky then immediately regretted doing so, the sun was right above her. She didn't notice because she had been walking under canopies of trees for the entire journey. Her eyes burned from the light of the sun, no matter how much she rubbed, the glare burnt them.

Walking in the sun was no biggy she realized, she thought that vampires couldn't walk in sunlight or else they'd die, but how stereotypical was that? One would think that from all those rumors about vampires, at least one would be true, or almost true.

In truth, vampires can walk in the sun, though the light burns their over- sensitive eyes. Its just like normal humans walking outside, save for the occasional sunburn if they stay too long.

During her walk, she thought about all the benefits and bad thins of being what she was, she didn't know before, but it was like second knowledge once she thought of it.

She decided the rest for a while, she'd been walking non-stop for six to seven hours. If she continued, she'd get hungry and that's something she was still trying to avoid. She sat down at the base of a nearby tree and thought of her situation.

She was in Feudal Japan, where her kind would be killed in a heartbeat by the living, so there was no one to help her. The only way to live again was to wish on the Shikon No Tama. That was her only other suggestion.

But she didn't have the jewel, Naraku had most of it. The only way to make the wish was to defeat Naraku, but how?

She unconsciously licked her hidden fang because she was concentrating so hard. It was a habit. The actions cut her tongue. Though no blood leaked, the feel of an open flesh wound made her hungry.

As much as she didn't want to, she had to give in to the hunger that was now making its way into her body. It would kill her not to.

Making her decision, she got up and continued walking.

Tbc...
