-Chapter 1-

Changed, Years Later

Kagome sat in front of her apartment and sighed. Today was Friday, and she was finally done with work. She laid down on her back and let the warm sunrays soak her. She was at peace. She held up her left hand and gazed at the beautiful diamond ring on her finger. She still remembered the day that her boyfriend proposed. They had been dating for over two years, and one day when they were eating dinner at a nearby steak house, she found a ring in her rice. She picked it up with her chopsticks and looked over at her boyfriend, and he smiled. She gladly placed the ring on her finger, and many people clapped for them. It was the best day of her life.

Kagome got up from her comfortable spot and walked into her apartment. Earlier she had been rummaging through old photos she found and decided to put them in a photo album. Sitting down on her couch and placing the album in her lap, she continued to search through the photos for good shots she could save. There were pictures of her mother, Souta when he was a baby, and an old junior high school photo.

Then, she picked up a photo that she had forgotten she had taken. It was a picture of Inuyasha, Sango, Miroku, Kirara, Shippo, and her. She starred at the picture in amazement, and remembered when she left them all forever.

FLASHBACK

Kagome stood outside of Kaede's waiting impatiently for Inuyasha. She knew where he went to, she saw Kikyo's soul grabbers fly through the sky earlier. Finally Inuyasha was in sight walking towards her slowly. Kagome walked over to him with an annoyed look on her face.

"Inuyasha," she said still walking to him.

He stopped and looked at her, then quickly looked away.

"Inuyasha, did you go see Kikyo again?" Kagome asked.

"No, I didn't!" Inuyasha said still not facing her.

"Then look at me," Kagome said calmly.

Inuyasha turned his head reluctantly and looked at Kagome for a quick second, then looked away again.

"I knew it! You went to see Kikyo. Why do you always lie to me?" Kagome said angrily.

"I'm not lying!" Inuyasha protested.

"Then why can't you look me in the face? You can never look at me after you've seen Kikyo."

Inuyasha remained silent and didn't say a word.

"I thought so," Kagome said turning away from Inuyasha. "Inuyasha, I'm going home."

"So?"

"So, I won't be coming back. You can stay with Kikyo if you want to, but I'm going home."

"But, we still haven't found all the jewel shards," Inuyasha said facing her back.

Kagome quickly turned around and looked at Inuyasha with tears in her eyes.

"So, am I just your jewel finder? Is that all I am to you?"

"Whoa, Kagome wait, I didn't-"

"Don't say anything. I'm going now." With that said Kagome walked away, not knowing that that would be the last time she ever saw the silver haired boy.

END FLASHBACK

Kagome sighed and put the photo back down. 'Why didn't Inuyasha ever come back for me? Didn't he care?' Kagome thought. She shook her head and got the thought out of her head. 'That doesn't matter now, I'm engaged to a really great guy, I shouldn't wallow in the past! I've changed since then.' It was true, she had changed inside and out. Her hair was shorter than it was back then, it was now only down to her shoulders. She was taller, and all of her features had matured, she now looked like a young lady rather than a girl. Her skin was tanner, but she kept her dark hair. It was one of her favorite features.

Then, the phone rang, Kagome got up off the couch and went to answer it. "Hello?"

"Kagome!"

"Oh, hi Mom!"

"I just got your message! I can't believe you're engaged! I'm so happy for you!" Kagome's Mom said excitedly. "Oh, you must bring him over to our place to stay for a weekend. You know, to get to know the family better."

"Um, sure. When should we come over?"

"Anytime you two can. Just remember to call and tell me when so I can clean up the place."

"Ok, I'll call Steven then."

Kagome hung up the phone and called her fiancé. Steven was born and raised in the United States, but he studied Japanese. So when he turned 23, he moved to Japan, and he's lived here ever since.

"Hello?"

"Hi Steven!" Kagome said happily.

"Oh, hi Kagome," Steven said.

"Hey, my Mom was wondering if you'd like to come up to the shrine for the weekend some time."

"Sure, that sounds like fun."

"Great, when do you think you can go?"

"I'll be able to come, tomorrow, I have nothing planned for the weekend."

"Great. Do you still have the directions to the shrine?"

"Yeah, they're on my desk. Are you leaving soon?"

"Yeah, I'm just going to call my Mom get my stuff and go."

"Ok, so I'll meet you there tomorrow."

"Ok, bye."

"Love ya!" Steven said.

"Love ya too!" Kagome repeated.

She hung and called her Mom. As soon as she got off the phone with her, she packed and headed out the door.

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Kagome walked up the many stairs to the shrine, and almost passed out. She wasn't used to going up those stairs anymore.

"Kagome Darling!" Her mom called to her when she finally reached the top.

"Hi Mom!" Kagome yelled walking over to her.

Her Mom had some wrinkles on her face from age, and had one or two few gray streaks in her hair, but she had aged very well.

"Oh, let me help you with those bags!"

"Thanks Mom!"

Kagome handed her some of her luggage and they both walked inside. "We can put these in your old room," Kagome's Mom said.

"Ok."

They stepped into Kagome's room. It had changed from when she used to live here. The walls were white, and the only furniture in the room was a bed, nightstand, lamp, and a vanity.

"Sorry I haven't had much time to clean the house! I still need to do the kitchen, and vacuum, and all sorts of stuff," Kagome's Mom said.

"That's ok. I'll help you clean the house."

"Oh goodness no! You're my guest now. You go out and walk around, go to a few stores, and I'll clean up the rest of the house."

"Mom, I couldn't let you do this all by yourself."

"Of course you could!" Kagome's Mom said pushing her towards the door. "You just give me an hour or two, and this house will be nice and clean!" She shut the door behind Kagome leaving her to walk around.

Though her room might have changed, the land outside hadn't. It still looked the same as when she lived here. She walked over to the sacred tree. It still looked the same, It's looked the same for over 50 years. Thoughts of Inuyasha started to fill Kagome's head, so she walked away.

She looked over at the well house and decided to just go take a look in there. She opened up the door to the well and walked inside. It was dustier and older looking. Nobody seemed to go in here since Kagome moved and Ji-chan died. (Is that his name? Did I spell it right?)

She didn't know why, but she was compelled to walk over to the well. She leaned over the edge of it and remembered when she used to always jump down there to have adventures in the Feudal era with everyone. Kagome turned and started to walk away from the well when she heard someone call her name.

"Kagome!" The voice called.

It didn't sound like anyone she knew, and it seemed to come from the well. She turned and looked at the well. It didn't look any different, and there wasn't anyone there. Suddenly, a figure jumped up out of the well and landed in front of it.

"After all these years, your smell hasn't changed a bit," the person said.

Kagome starred at the person in front of her. He had long silver hair and two dog-like ears, he seemed to be around her age, and was wearing all red. Kagome's eyes widened at the sight. She starred at someone she thought she'd never see again.

"In-Inu-Inuyasha!"
