Xu Zhiqiu stayed in Kaede's Village for a few days. That day, Inuyasha and Kikyo were busy building a house, and they refused to let her help.
Bored with nothing to do, Xu Zhiqiu headed toward the Bone-Eater's Well. After so many years, she saw it again. The opening was still there, but she had no idea whether it could still take her back to the modern world.
She sat on the edge of the well and looked up at the World Tree growing nearby. Flecks of sunlight filtered through its leaves, and she raised a hand to shield her eyes.
Xu Zhiqiu had been sitting there for quite a while when a gust of wind blew past.
She looked up into the sky and saw Kagura flying toward her on a feather, with Kanna sitting beside her.
"What brings you here?" Xu Zhiqiu was delighted to see them.
"We were passing through. Want to come have some fun with us?" Kagura asked, glancing at Xu Zhiqiu.
"Sure! Wait here. I'll go get my bundle."
Xu Zhiqiu had been bored out of her mind, only for someone to turn up and take her out for some fun. Naturally, she gladly accepted. She headed back toward the village, said goodbye to Kikyo, picked up her bundle, and left with Kagura and Kanna.
Kagura was sensitive to the wind. She could smell where flowers bloomed and where the surroundings were pleasant.
A world like this really did have its perks-the scenery was ridiculously beautiful, and Xu Zhiqiu feasted her eyes on it.
They did not simply take one look and leave, but traveled in fits and starts. Two months passed, and Xu Zhiqiu's belly began to swell slightly.
Mindful of the life growing inside Xu Zhiqiu, Kagura brought her back to Naishu
