"What is that wheel turning in the sky?" Kagome asked the strange woman.

Kagome was a young child of about four. She was wearing a red and white school uniform. Her hair was short and dark, and she looked up at the strange woman.

The woman had white hair done up in pigtails, and demon marks on her face and a crescent on her forehead.

"It looks like a Ferris wheel." Kagome said. "I wonder if I can get on."

"You don't want to ride that." Inukimi, for of course it was she, said. "You've already ridden so many times, Kurisuta. It is time you find your happy ending. Now follow that path and go home."

Kagome looked up at the beautiful tree that seemed to have a mystic feel to it, and at the strange woman, and then waved and headed down the path.

Xxx

Kagome woke from the dream.

I didn't remember that. I guess I did meet Sesshomaru's mother before. She thought. Well that doesn't matter anyway. That was in Otherworld. Even if Inuyasha is there, I can never get to him. I have to forget about him.

Kagome headed to school.

"Good morning, Kagome-chan!" Hojo said.

Hojo had died last year in a car accident, and she had seen his spirit ever since.

Kagome sighed. She wished she could lose her spiritual powers. But they had only gotten stronger since she had returned from the Feudal Era. What did she even need them for? She was just trying to live a normal life.

She sat down in her seat. She was in ninth grade now.

"Taisho Yashita."

She had never even met the student who sat next to her. She vaguely wondered who he was, what he was like, why he never showed up.

Maybe he was on some sort of adventure like she had been.

She chuckled to herself.

As if.

A boy with short black hair that was very messy and hung long in the front over his face sat down. He had bright brown eyes, and was wearing a strange haori, and under it a bright red kimono.

Definately out of uniform.

So this was Yashita.

But he looked...kind of familiar.

"Hey he's here!" Kagome turned to Ayumi and said.

"What are you talking about?" Yuka rolled her eyes.

"Guess he's absent again." Mr Kaseda said.

Oh. If only she could see him...he must be dead.

Kagome sighed.

Yashita looked over at her for a second, then turned away.

He took out some dog food.

Kagome was confused.

A giant chihuahua ghost appeared.

"Jeez. Why don't ya get on the wheel already, chihuataro?" Yashita grumbled.

In an instant, he got eaten by the chihuahua.

Kagome stared for a minute, then the bell rang, and she headed out with Ayumi, Eri, and Yuka.

"What were you staring at in class Kagome?" Eri said.

"Oh? N-Nothing." Kagome sighed.

"Another ghost?" Ayumi asked. "You still see them?"

"No." Kagome said. "This one was pretty familiar."

"I have to head to Gardening Club." Yuka said.

"See ya." Kagome said.

Kagome walked on home and then she saw Yashita again, this time just in his red kimono.

Oh. That's who he resembled, in that red. He looked like Inuyasha.

After three years and she couldn't forget.

And what was he doing?

Yashita was holding the chihuahua. It was smaller now.

Kuri went to walk through him—BAM!

"Oh! I'm so sorry! I thought you were a—someone else." Kagome bowed.

Yashita beamed at her.

In an instant she saw his golden eyes and silver hair, and those precious little dog ears.

"Kagome! I finally found you!"

He kissed her.

"AWOOO!" The chihuahua and Hojo had mixed together and were attacking!
