what had happened, what she had done and they just wanted to know everything. "take a breath first!"said Kagome and the tears of joy she had cried shone on her cheeks." You want to know everything? Are you sure? ", she asked. Everyone nodded eagerly." Ok ... I'll tell you! ", she said and took a deep breath ...

Flashback

"where is inuyasha, Kaede?" asked Kagome. "I don't know exactly! Just find him, there will be something to eat!"; said the miko. "yes, ok!" said Kagome cheerfully. She went out of the hut and Miroku, Sango and Shippo came towards her. "What are you doing?" they asked. "I'm going to find Inuyasha," she said.

"We just saw him! He went in the direction of the sacred tree! And when we called him, he didn't react! Better go and have a look!" said the unsuspecting monk. "yes, ok. I will!" said Kagome and went out of the village into Inuyasha's forest. Deep in her thoughts she suddenly noticed a bright light. "Oops? What do you think it is?" She asked herself. The light shone directly behind the sacred tree, so she carefully hid behind it.But then she saw it too. Inuyasha and Kikyo stood there, so close together ... Kagome couldn't believe it. He was still seeing Kikyo behind her back? She grabbed her chest where her heart was. "Great! Why don't I just go away?" She asked herself. And when she tried to move so that her heart couldn't be broken again for the umpteenth time, she couldn't move. Of course, Kikyo had felt it immediately and it only suited her. So she could just pull the two apart. A great day for her. "I want to get out of here !!!", thought Kagome and tears formed in her eyes. But she watched the action as if spellbound. It's like when something infinitely terrible and disgusting happens and you can't look away. Kagome fared THAT and not otherwise. She could also overhear everything. "Kikyo! Naraku is defeated and the jewel is complete again!" Said inuyasha. "yes, my beloved inuyasha.But let's not talk about it. The two of us are here now. Finally alone! And not with the annoying attachment! "That was aimed completely at Kagome and Kagome himself noticed that. Because she had no reason to speak so disgustingly about the others. Kagome thought she had misheard, because what inuyasha said now, that sometimes broke her heart completely. "Yes you are right! Finally we are alone, undisturbed! ", he said." I ... ", Kagome couldn't get a clear thought. Kikyo snuggled up to inuyasha and he literally wrapped his arms around her." I don't want to live without you anymore! ", said Kikyo. Kagome thought:" You are no longer alive either! ", full of anger and full of despair, as well as grief and pain, Kagome suffered from how close they were, how close they were. And then she noticed it. All that she felt was pure and pure jealousy. And that knowing didn't make it any easier. "Kikyo," whispered inuyasha, but Kagome heard it very well.That one word dripping with love, that one name ...

Kikyo raised her head and closed her eyes. Inuyasha answered her silent call and put his lips on the kikyos. It was a long kiss and Kagome wept bitterly. Mute and alone. "Alone ... all alone!" She thought almost fanatically. Why did she react so violently to it? Soon she was clear in her head again and thought: "My God! What is happening here? Why am I freaking out like that? I always knew that he loves her! I'm just the stupid appendage with the useful power anyway to be able to see the splinters! ", tears flowed again. She saw how the two hugged each other again and heard Kikyo say: "Have you decided for me? Will you come with me to the realm of the dead? Or ... we could use the jewel after all. Bring me back to life and make you human!" . Suddenly Kagome could move again, she ran, she was afraid of the answer. If he said yes? Her heart was just a heap of rubble, it would have killed her.Weeping she ran into the village, to Kaede's hut, grabbed her rucksack and shouted "Farewell" to her friends, still crying, and ran out of the village again, in the direction of the well, and she jumped into it. She was not to use this path for nine years.

Part eight

"That's how it was!" said Miroku. "Well-yes!", said Kagome and while she had told it, the tears had come back to her. Sango stroked her back and Shippo held her hands. "inuyasha is a bastard!" he said. "Shippo!", Said Kagome sternly but the fox only said: "I'm right! He ... could have you and instead he takes a dead, bitter priestess!". "Shippo! That's really ... sweet of you, but I couldn't expect him to stop loving her - for me. And finally I never told him how I felt about him! And ... I shouldn't have reacted like that! ", but already she interrupted Miroku:" No Kagome! You are wrong and you are doing what you always did back then!It's his fault and you're trying to defend him! You forget your feelings! And that's why it could only come to this! "." Yes, Kagome. Miroku is right. I mean ... if you had been a little more selfish than inuyasha was ... and is ... then that wouldn't have happened and you wouldn't have been separated from your friends for nine years! "said Sango." Do you still love him? "; asked Shippo. He asked the question that burned everyone in the room." I ... don't know. I think so. Yes ... I couldn't forget him for a second! Even though I tried! "she said." But ... what was going on here? "she asked then." here? I still remember it like yesterday. Some time later, when you had called us farewell, inuyasha came into the hut and said hypocritically, `Where is Kagome? ´ and he sat down. We looked at each other and said what happened. Somehow he seemed to know that you weren't coming anymore ... or he was just offended and angry that you didn't say goodbye ... or both ... in any case he went out of the hut again and was in a bad mood.We didn't know. He didn't come back for a month ... and after that month we knew we wouldn't see you again. We were all very ... angry, admittedly, but also sad. But we had no choice, after all only inuyasha could get through the well. And strangely enough, we never looked to inuyasha's fault ... ", Sango said." Well ... but say, where is Kaede? ", asked Kagome. And already there was a more depressed mood than it already was." Kagome ... Kaede died two years ago! "said Miroku." No! NO! THAT CAN NOT BE! WHERE ... IS SHE BURIED? "cried Kagome." It lies with Kohaku ... outside, on the beautiful field of flowers. ", Sango said and already Kagome had rushed out." Kagome! ", Sango called and ran after her friend. She had already arrived at the grave and was crying her heart out. Kaede was dead! The Kaede who had always encouraged her when she was afraid. The Kaede who understood her The Kaede that showed her all the herbs and their uses.The Kaede, who gave her consolation when she had trouble with or grief about inuyasha again. The Kaede, who was always like a second mother to her. And was she dead now? And Kagome hadn't been to her funeral, not to her final minutes! Sango had now hugged her and she was crying too. "Kagome, I know that it hurts a lot, but everyone has to go to the beyond. And that you weren't there, it doesn't matter! You are with her in spirit. How she had been with her for the whole seven years Thoughts.". In fact, the words Sango consoled Kagome a little and she said, still in a tearful voice: "I can't believe that I haven't been here for nine years! Nine years! That I have not seen how Shippo grew, how you lived I was separated from him for nine years, whom I love more than anything! ". "then try to do it a little better! Go to him!"; Sango said and Kagome nodded ... I probably will. ".Now she had the courage to do so. Kaede was with her. And her friends. "But Kagome, before you go ... the paint on your face is smeared!" Sango said. "Painting ..."? "It took Kagome a while to understand that Sango was talking about her makeup." Oh! Thanks! "she said, fixing it up without a mirror." So? ", she asked and Sango nodded with a smile." Hey you, take a look in my backpack, I brought a lot of delicious things with me! ", said Kagome, got up, looked again at Kaede's grave and, still sad about this experience, went in the direction of the forest - there she would meet Inuyasha.

Part nine

Her steps were slow, but she had no intention of turning back. She was grown up now, she could do it. Then why was her heart beating so loudly? She cleared her throat and called, "Inuyasha?". She went on, deeper into the forest. "Inuyasha!" She called. Now she saw the well. "… Yasha!" She called again.
Then she heard a dark, male voice calling from behind her: "GO!Go on! Go back to your time! "Kagome winced and turned around." Inuyasha? ", she asked quietly. He jumped from a tree and was now facing her. A meter between them. He was bigger and more muscular.
"Get out of here! Without a word! Oh, wait ... you said goodbye to the others, only NOT to the STUPID HALF-DEMON WHO SAVED YOU ALWAYS AND AGAIN!", His voice grew louder and Kagome was startled . "It ...", she began, but thought about it and thought: "Hey! I'm not 15 anymore! I am grown up and will not be intimidated! Never again!". So she said in a firm voice: "Now you listen to me! I had my reasons to leave! When I said goodbye ... you weren't there! I just wanted to leave! I didn't think I would come here again at all And besides, why should I justify myself, because I don't live HERE, but over there!"." Oh: I wasn't there! Great reason! Then tell me why you wanted to go back so quickly ?! "he shouted, crossing his arms over his chest." I had my reasons! "she said aloud.
"Shall I tell you what I think? I think that you were fed up with us! You did your job and collected the splinters! Done! You probably thought: Finally I'm rid of these idiots!" Inuyasha yelled and a few Birds flew away.
"THAT'S NOT RIGHT! SHUT UP YOUR MOUTH!", Kagome was beside himself.
"WHY ELSE ?!" the Hanyou shouted.
"YOU WANT TO KNOW? BECAUSE I SEEN YOU WITH KIKYO! AND BECAUSE
