The Mysterious Springs

Chapter 4: Back to the Present

The following day to the regaining of her memories, Kagome decided to go back to her time alongside Inuyasha, as she still hadn't thought out what she was going to tell her family when they saw her with her current little girl form.

Before departing, she decided to bid farewell and thank Kaede for everything she had done for her.

- "Well Kagome, are you ready to go?" – asked Kaede gently.

- "Yes, Kaede-obaasan, and I'm very grateful that you took care of me while I didn't have my memories" – replied Kagome as she bowed slightly in front of her.

- "Don't mention it. Actually, it was a nice experience to have been your teacher during this short time" – she said as she smiled at her.

At their side, Inuyasha was talking with Totosai, though their conversation wasn't being even half as pleasant in comparison to Kaede and Kagome's.

- "Hey, Totosai-jiji, why didn't you wanna teach me the Bakuryuuha from the beginning?" – asked Inuyasha with a very irritated face.

- "Because you couldn't even transform Tessaiga to its true form," – replied Totosai as if it was the most obvious thing in the world – "How do you think I was going to teach you that technique like that?" -

And as usual, Inuyasha hit him in the head.

- "You should learn to respect your elders..." – said Totosai crying as he held his head in pain.

They then talked for a while with the children from Hourai Island...

- "We wanted to thank you for letting us be in the performance with you" – said Kagome smiling.

- "It's nothing. Actually, that's one of the few things we could do to pay you back for the great help you gave us" – said Asagi gently.

- "Though they're still useless" – said Roku, making Kagome and Inuyasha look at him with rage.

- "That's right, bro" – said Dai, which finished what his brother began: that Inuyasha smacked them good in the head.

- "Don't forget who you're dealing with..." – said Inuyasha with his arms crossed and an enraged expression in his face.

- "So, what are you going to do now?" – asked Moegi very interested.

- "We'll first go to my home, and then we'll search for a way to get back to normal" – replied Kagome with a smile.

- "I wish you can find it soon!" – said Ai cheerfully.

- "Yeah! We wish you good luck in your search!" – said Shion.

- "Thanks!" – said Kagome.

They then went to the well's glade and began their final preparations.

- "Inuyasha, are we ready to cross over then?" – asked Kagome.

- "Yeah, whenever you want" – replied Inuyasha as he began carrying Kagome's backpack.

- "Are you sure that you don't need anything else from us before going?" – asked Sango.

- "Yeah. We just ask that you find a way to return us to normal as soon as possible" – replied Kagome nodding.

- "Yeah, I wanna go back to normal quickly" – said Inuyasha as he showed displeasure about this situation on his face – "We look stupid like this" -

- "Oh, yeah? I think we look cute like this!" – said Kagome.

- "No, we don't!" – replied Inuyasha.
