Kagome felt restless even though the night was already deep. After several toss and turns in her bed and still unable to sleep, she decided that a walk outside might be a good idea.

Quietly, she left the house and sat under the Goshinboku tree for the nth time since she came back from the past.

Two years had passed, she had turned seventeen a few months ago and her birthday wish had been nothing but for the well to work again. With a sudden pulse of determination, she went to the bone eaters well with her heart beating loudly in her chest.

"Let me come back," she whispered to the well. "Please," she begged.

Carefully, she descended the ladder inside the well. Upon reaching the bottom, she knelt and placed her hand over the floor. "I want to come back," she pleaded. "Please, let me go."

For some time, the well remained unresponsive and she turned away, her heart heavy with overwhelming disappointment. Then, suddenly, blinding blue and white lights swirled around her. Her lips parted in wonder, her eyes widened in relief, and her heart thudded excitedly in her chest. 

'I'm going back! I'm really going back!' She all but sobbed in happiness.

When the lights died and her feet landed on the floor again. She lifted her head to the sky and quickly went out of the well.

She set her feet on the grass, and inhaled the fresh air of the forest.

"I'm here!" She whispered. "I'm really here!" She screamed, giggling and smiling like a fool.

"Good. I was looking for you," a voice spoke out of nowhere.

She startled. From the tree line, a figure with argent hair emerges. "Who…?" She asked in confusion. "Inu—Sesshomaru?" She gasped upon seeing him.

"Hnn," he said before throwing her over his shoulder.
