It was morning and Kagome had been awake for a long time. Nothing had changed. She absolutely wanted to go back to the era of the belligerent states. But ... she was scared. Terrible fear. What if ... he hated her now? She couldn't blame him. And she was scared because she thought he was with Kikyo. But if she didn't go ... she would never find out what was going on! She tossed and turned and could only think of one thing - Inuyasha. Her heart raced and she got out of bed. If she would see him again, if she would see him again with Kikyo, then she should look gorgeous! She opened her closet and began to throw things randomly on her bed. She tried on tons of clothes, finally decided on jeans and an almost transparent white blouse. It suited her really well and she went to the bathroom to get ready. She combed her hair and left it elegantly open. She put on her lips a soft pink make-up and they now shone very nicely.Sota had been to school a long time ago and she had missed making him something for breakfast! "There you have it! He's just distracting you!" She said softly. Then the phone rang and stopped her from leaving. "Higurashi? Kagome on the line!" She said. "Hey Kagome, it's me, Nami!" Said a friendly voice. "Oh, hello! What's wrong?" Asked Kagome. “Just wanted to ask if you would come to the cinema!” “No, I'm sorry, I already have a… date!” Said Kagome. "Oh, what a shame! I thought we could do something again!" Said Nami, a friend she had met at the disco. "Yes, I'm sorry, bye!", She said and hung up before Nami could say anything else. She went into the kitchen and ate a quick piece of bread, no rice or anything, and went on her way. "Stop! I don't know when I'll be back!", she thought, turned around again and wrote her brother a note:

"Hi Sota!

I just wanted to tell you quickly that I am going back to the era of the warring states.I know that you understand me! Order something to eat, and if I shouldn't be back tonight, please go see mom! Love you, your Kagome! "

She looked around again and went to the shrine. But of course that didn't go well without a disturbance.

"Kagome!" Called a male voice. "Oh god, Hojo!" Thought Kagome, annoyed. Hojo had been very persistent! He had almost besieged her all these years and hadn't understood that she wanted nothing from him. "What do you want again?" was her greeting. Driven by these nice words, Hojo asked: "Where are you going?" He asked, pointing to her backpack, which she was still holding in her left hand. Kagome sighed and said: "This is something for the garden.", She answered and Hojo seemed to believe it. "Aha ... how about I help you with your work," he said. "Um ... yes! Thank you! You could get something! I need a lot of flowers! A crocus intorismus! Ten of them are turquoise flowers.Then the Tulpus Kaikus! "she said." Oh! I'll be happy to get it for you! ", he said and Kagome said:" And don't come back without it! ". "Promised! "Said Hojo and ran down the steps." Fool! These flowers don't even exist, I just made them up! ", thought Kagome and went back towards the shrine. She paused for a moment." What if I shouldn't go? Maybe that's why these two disorders ??? ", she wondered, but while she was thinking, she was already taking the boards from the opening. She was now standing in front of the fountain. One jump and she was over there. But one jump can be longer than expected. She looked at the clock , nine o'clock. Great. Your favorite number - nine! That could only mean good! She was already sitting on the edge of the fountain. A little push ... "I WANT TO GO BACK TO HIM, OR NOT ??? ", she called with narrowed eyes and she disappeared into the well.

Part six

"Hey Inuyasha! How are you?" Shippo asked. "How am I supposed to be," he said."Sango is the rice ready yet?" Asked Miroku to change the subject. "Yes ... uh! Rice again!", She said and handed out the bowls. "Thank you!" Inuyasha grumbled. It was the first time in a long time that he had apologized. "Um ... it's okay!" Said Sango. They ate their food and were silent again. "I smell it!" Said inuyasha suddenly. "what?" asked Shippo. "Kagome! I smell her!" He said and got up. "Inuyasha! That can't be! She's not there!" Said Miroku. "But ..." he said. Sango shook his head and said: "Inuyasha. We all wish it very much ... but it is not possible! Why should she come back after nine years?". The mood was gloomy and inuyasha sat down again. "I'm sorry!", he said and Shippo said: "No, why? I also feel it very often! And sometimes, I wake up at night and think it is still lying next to me". "Shippo man! You really grew up!" Said Miroku. "Well!Nine years will not go by without a trace, "he said." Kirara! Come here, "said Sango and the little cat was already on her lap and Sango was petting her." I miss her immensely! "she said then." Inuyasha? Have you forgiven "asked Miroku." I don't know. "he said." It's not that easy either, is it? ", Sango suddenly asked." How? "asked inuyasha." Well ... I also needed time. At first I thought she was coming again, but then ... I mean, after a month I knew she wasn't coming anymore. She was never gone that long. It took me a long time ... to forgive! "she said." I'm sorry ... I didn't know that! "said inuyasha." It's okay, neither of you knew. She was always there for me when I needed her, in the difficult time with Kohaku and my doubts. Then I felt guilty for helping me so much. And all I could do was forgive her! ", her eyes were full of tears. Kirara beeped and licked the tears off her face."and now you have to forgive her, inuyasha!" she said. "I can't yet! Not yet, it's stupid to say: I need time, because I've had enough, but ... I need it!"; he said and Miroku said: "wow! You have never trusted us like that!".

"Well ..." he said. "What do you think? Should we maybe go through the countries again? I mean, like when we were on the hunt for Naraku," suggested Shippo. "No, Shippo! You know that we're helping to protect the village and make the crops more productive!" said Miroku. "Yes, you are right!" Said Shippo, playing with his tail. "But it's sooooo boring!" He said then. "Yes, it's okay! The villagers are just not fit yet, otherwise they would call us!", said Miroku.

"Alright!" said Shippo and continued playing. You didn't know what was in store for you ...

Part seven

Kagome had climbed out of the well and sank longingly onto the soft grass. She felt it beneath her, it was cool.As cool as the light breeze that was blowing. She loved this air. She was so pure and clear! She couldn't believe that she had to miss all these nine years! And she alone was to blame. She could no longer blame him for how could she try to force him not to love another? How could she Where did she get the right to believe he was doing it for her? Where did she get the right to punish him for feelings that no one could control? Where did she get the right to love him from? She had no answer to any of these questions, but she knew she did when she did. For the simple reason BECAUSE she loved him. This love that everyone strives for, this love made them blind and selfish. Her feelings should definitely be reciprocated, and thereby she forgot the feelings of her lover.

"Oh God! What kind of person am I?", she asked herself and the wind had the answer: "Because you are a person who has feelings. Because you are a person who makes mistakes."Kagome ran another hand through her silky hair and then walked down the path she had always walked to get to the village. She was terrified that everyone would hate her. That they would see her and say, "What do you want? Get out!" She had the backpack casually on one shoulder and she had unbuttoned the first few buttons of her blouse. She had very feminine curves and she liked that very much. Dancing and karate gave her a great body. She had grown strong. And yet she lacked the strength to take courageous steps into the hut.

She stood in front of the village and soon afterwards in front of Kaede's hut. She closed her eyes one last time and remembered the shared adventures and the carefree laugh. But she stopped. "Why does he still have such power over me? I'm 26 years old and my heart is still beating faster. I feel like 15 again. But now I can't go back, now not anymore!"", she thought. She knocked on the door and heard her longtime friend shout" Come in! ". She opened the door slowly and when she was visible to all in the doorway, nobody was able to say anything." Hey, you don't remember more to me? It's me, Kagome! "She said, suppressing tears. She couldn't believe how they had changed. Sitting across from her on the back wall, there was Miroku, who had cut off his cute little ponytail, as far as Kagome could tell. When the fight against Naraku had finished, he had kept his hole, but with a little strength of the Shiko no tama they had been able to prevent the black hole from expanding. Sango, to her left, sat there with Kirara and Shippo. She had become even more beautiful and had longer hair, Shippo had changed the most. He had grown, surely reached Inuyasha by the hip and his foxtail had become a splendid tail. Inuyasha, on the other hand, had changed the least.Still long white hair and still dog ears, eyes still gold and the red Suikan hadn't changed either. And he still wore the seat chain around his neck. The first thing she noticed was the not so small Shippo who threw himself on her neck. She had to bend down to hug him, but he couldn't jump onto her arms so easily. "Kagome !!!!!"; he cried. "My little Shippo." Kagome cry. Then she also felt Sango hugging her and Miroku's hand on her head. But then ... then she noticed how inuyasha ran past her out of the hut. "Hey! Inuyasha!", Miroku called but Kagome said: "I'll go to him later. First of all, I'll be with you!" "I ... I'm so happy!"; Sango cried. When they all broke up and sat down again full of joy, Kagome in Sango's arms and Miroku opposite, they asked
