"Kagome do it now" he shouted at her "finally tell me where the splinter is". "Yes, yes, I just can't do a witch," she countered him poisonously. Inuyasha was in the middle of a fight with a demon and to their astonishment he clearly had a hard time beating it. "Why is he fighting so badly today", little Kitsune Shippo asked Sango and Miroku. "I suppose it has something to do with yesterday's argument," countered the monk. "Quiet in the cheap seats" snapped a visibly out of breath half-demon. “Kagome, I'm still waiting!” “It's okay, he's stuck in his forehead. Kagome pulled out the splinter of the jewel and put it in the glass with the others. Inuyasha came back to the small group (which had now gathered again) and the argument began again. "Why did it take so long?" He yelled at the girl from modern times."Stop yelling at me! Otherwise you always think you can do it all by yourself," she yelled back. For a moment there was an oppressive silence in the air, which was then broken by the nagging of a white-haired half-dog-half-human boy. "I can too," he snorted. "I don't even know what you are there for !? Without you we would be much faster and my back would be better" (he responded to the frequent sitting attacks that she gave him). Ouch that sat! She stood in front of him with her mouth open and didn't know what to say (and that was very rare!) When he saw her look he immediately regretted what he had said but couldn't admit it. "Oh, that's it," she said, looking empty at the floor. But then she came to again, mumbled a "yes then" to herself, took her things and disappeared without saying a word into the forest towards the fountain. "Keh, let it go. Nobody needs it anyway" whereby he could not let the doubt and anger about himself completely disappear.All this was watched suspiciously by a pair of eyes that glittered with pleasure. ° How well I have already prepared everything ° thought the person who was happy that everything went the way she wanted it to. Because Inuyasha and Kagome parted in an argument, and that was necessary if it was to work.

Around the same time, Kagome came to the well at ° Baka °, she thought angrily but also disappointed. ° Well wait, I won't come back until you've apologized to me ° With this thought she jumped in. But this time it was different. There was a bang and nothing moved anymore. Everything and everyone stayed in their position until a glistening light came over medieval Japan like a pressure wave from an atomic bomb. When it was gone, everything seemed normal.

The group around Inuyasha was still standing in the clearing in which they were left by Kagome and looked around questioningly when suddenly the person who had watched the goings on with amusement emerged from the undergrowth.Inuyasha turned around with a start. "There you are, can we go back to the village now?" asked he. The person nodded in agreement when Shippo jumped up and sat on their shoulder. "Where have you been, Kikyou?" he wanted to know, but she just smiled. ° It works wonderfully ° she thought ° no one knows that Kagome exists anymore, it's as if she had never been here ° Satisfied with herself, she went with the group as if she had always been part of Kagome's place.

At the same time, in modern times, a black-haired girl was standing in a fountain and wondering what she was doing in it. Even in her time there had been lightning and all memories of Inuyasha and the warlike epoch were as if obliterated. She had just climbed out of the fountain when someone pushed open the door to the small shrine in which the fountain was located. It was Souta, her little brother, who looked at her questioningly. "What are you doing here?" he wanted to know.But she didn't know anymore! " And you?" tried to distract her. "I'm looking for the cat". "I see!?!" she said "probably me too" Then they went to the house. Nobody in their time could remember the half-demon or their time travel. And so both sides of the fountain went about their seemingly accustomed everyday life, without even giving any thought that something was not as it should actually be. The only one who knew something was Kikyou and she certainly wouldn't start with the Kagome topic on her own.
