Kagome returned home, and let her hurts wash over her only when she was alone. She waiting till her family was gone, and then went into the bathroom. She stepped into the shower still clothed, and turned on the icy water to let it wash over her. She stood in the water, and let go. When her racking sobs shook her too much to stand she sat. She cried, and cried. ‘Inuyasha...’ She cried until she had no tears left.
She rose, shut off the water, and pulled off her soaked clothes. She dried, and went to her room and redressed. She took her wet clothes, and some dirty ones to wash. She didn’t want her mom to know.
She stayed for only a couple days. Then with a heavy, hurting heart, she went to the well. She looked into it for a long time, and then with firm resolve, she jumped in.
**
Sango wasn’t happy with the progress they had made, but what was she to do? They had to return to Inuyasha eventually. With a weary almost teary look at Miroku she turned to where they were to meet up with them. “Let’s go.”
**
Kagome was surprised when most the villages she traveled through were willing to house and feed her in return for her healing services. Most offered her to stay on full time, but as always she refused, and moved on. She had recovered several more shards after finding hers were gone. That was unsurprising to her as well.
What surprised her was that in the weeks she had been traveling alone she had discovered, that she wasn’t dying, or even walking dead. She was very much alive.
Her train of thought halted when she heard a very familiar name.
“-Inuyasha, a hanyou, with a miko.”
“That’s odd.”
“Yes. They were only passing through, refused to help at all.”
“A miko? Refusing to help the sick and injured?”
“She was so cold too, like she didn’t care about anything.”
“Strange…”
“I guess it was because they were searching for a man named Naraku.”
“More important than her duties of a priestess?”
Kagome rose, having finished bandaging the last man, and approached the two speakers. She bowed deeply. “Please forgive me, but I overheard what you were speaking of, may I ask which way the hanyou Inuyasha left to?”
One of the men smiled at her. “You have business with the one named Inuyasha?”
“No, but with the vile hanyou they hunt, Naraku.” Kagome replied lightly.
The man smiled even wider. “Ah see, she is a true miko. Even on a mission, she stops to help our village.” Kagome blushed slightly. The man pointed. “They went off that direction.”
“How long ago?”
“Only three days past.”
Kagome bowed, “Thank you.”
“If you find you wish to settle down our village will always welcome you.”
Kagome bowed again saying her thanks. “I gave the woman helping me the recipe for the salve. She knows how make and apply it now. She should be well able to care for your people. I will try to stop by whenever I am near, and check on your village.”
The two men nodded. Kagome gathered her things, and left. Her heart was heavy with thoughts of Inuyasha and what he had done to her. She knew that he had finally made his choice, and it hurt her deeply. She was relieved to find that her pain from him, though agonizing, wasn’t too overwhelming. She knew in time she would heal.

Kagome found herself following behind the hanyou she had once loved. She learned that Sango and Miroku only traveled with them sometimes, but mostly they did not. Kagome knew this was Sango’s doing, and knew her heart’s sister was still loyal to her. Kagome felt grateful for that. She hoped that Shippou was alright, but knew he could care for himself if needed.
Kagome had been alone now for more than half a year. She frequently went home, but avoided the village Edo. She didn’t want Inuyasha or Kikyou to know she was still alive. She feared still what revelation that may bring.
Now she sat in her meager camp, and felt a powerful entity growing closer. She stood, with bow in hand, but not drawn. When her visitor appeared she bowed. “Lord Sesshomaru, to what do I owe this visit.” She straightened and watched him closely.
He looked about, and she knew he was sniffing the air. Confusion and curiosity colored his aura. “This Sesshomaru wishes to know why you no longer travel with my filthy half-brother, and now the dead one does. Has he cast you aside?”
Kagome clenched her teeth. She knew he wasn’t deliberately putting her down. “Something like that.”
“Hn.” Sesshomaru would never understand his idiotic half-brother. Why cast away a living loyal pack alpha female for a dead one? It was ridiculous.
“Forgive me for my impertinence Lord Sesshomaru, but is that all you came for?” Kagome asked kindly.
“No.” He regarded the miko closely, and then he withdrew a pouch from in his robes. He tossed it to her, and she easily caught it. “These were found in a couple former members of this Sesshomaru’s household. I have no use for them.”
Kagome open the pouch to find three tainted shards. She purified them, and stowed them with her others. She bowed to him once more. “Thank you Sesshomaru-sama, for trusting me with them.”
“It was the obvious choice.” He turned to leave, but was stopped by the miko.
“Wait!” She went to her pack she carried. Sesshomaru noted it wasn’t her normal yellow one, but said nothing. She pulled out a bottle, and carried it to him. When he didn’t take it and looked at her with one raised eyebrow she explained. “The cold season will be here soon. This is for Rin. If she feels warm, has a cough or something give her some of this.” She took off the cap, and showed him the marked line she had made on it in a black ink.
Sesshomaru took the bottle, and then disappeared into the trees. He said nothing of her altered scent.
Kagome looked at the spot he had disappeared into for a bit, and then went back to her fire. Her mind was filled with thoughts of Inuyasha. It didn’t hurt as much, but she wondered if it would ever not hurt. ‘At least I’m not pining for him anymore.’ She looked once more at where the tiayoukai had come and left from. ‘I am alive.’ She wasn’t dead yet, and she resolved to stay that way.
**
“Do you wonder if she is maybe just trapped in there?”
She was met with silence for a time.
“Yes… but Kikyou…”
“I know. I know.”
**
The slayer and monk had left them again. Kikyou glanced to where the fox kit lay, and sneered. The thing had been left behind this time with her and Inuyasha. She couldn’t understand why they bothered to let the beast travel with them. It would be better if they just killed it.
She looked to Inuyasha, and then slowly rose. She silently walked into the wood. She didn’t have to do far before her soul collectors were welcoming her. She touched each one softly. “Go find me souls.”
