My name is Higurashi Kagome. All of you know that I was taken through the well on my family's property and met the half-demon, Inuyasha. You also know all about the Shikon no Tama and how I shattered it. Along the journey, we picked up Shippou, Miroku, and Sango. And together we all hunted Naraku and the scattered shards.

Over time, the Feudal Era became a second home. My friends were like family. And I even fell in love with Inuyasha. That was almost five years ago. Naraku has long been defeated and the Shikon shards all found. After I completed the Jewel, it just didn't seem right to be away from everything in the Feudal Era.

So, I kept going back as often as I could. And everything was great. Miroku and Sango got married, and they had an adorable little girl. Inuyasha was the local hero. Don't let his attitude fool you, he loved the attention. And he came to visit me all the time. Shippou and I discovered that he could pass through the well if I carried him through, so he practically lived with my family. Like I said, great! Nothing worse than some lesser demons and the occasional run-in with Sesshoumaru.

But it didn't last. I didn't even see any of it coming. Out of the blue, a chain reaction of horrible things tore apart our happy lives and scarred us all forever. It turned everything upside down and in the end...

...it even led me to destroy the well...
