Chapter 4: What Kagome Wished For...

~Opening Theme~

Crawling in the Dark

By: Hoobastank

~I will dedicate

And sacrifice my every�

Thing for just a second� worth

Of how my story�s ending

And I wish I could know

If the directions that I take

And all the choices

That I make

Won�t end up all for nothing

Chorus: Show me what�s it for

Make me understand it

I�ve been crawling in the dark

Looking for the answer

Is there something more than

What I�ve been handed?

I�ve been crawling in the dark

Looking for the answer

Help me carry on

Assure me it�s OK

To use my heart

And not my eyes

To navigate the darkness

Will the ending be ever

Coming suddenly?

Will I ever get to see the

Ending to my story

Chorus

So when and

How will I know?

How much further

Do I have to go?

How much longer

Until I finally know?

Because I�m looking and

I just can�t see

What�s in front of me

In front of me

Chorus ~

Kurama looked at Kagome as she stared at the T.V. with a sad expression. �She has something to hide...find out what...� Youko urged in his head.

�What did you say?� Kurama asked again. Kagome turned and stared at him. Her eyes showed betrayal and hurt in them. He watched her slowly stood up.

�I�m sorry...� Kagome whispered. Her bangs covered her eyes as she turned and started to walk away. Kurama stood up and tried to move but couldn�t.

�Kagome...what did you do? Why can�t I move?� Kurama asked her as she had her back to him.

�Chains...don�t you see them?� She murmured. Kurama�s eyes widen as he understood now. She used her power to make chains around him to hold him down. �Please...don�t come after me. I�ve been through this too many times. I�ve lost so many. Kirara...come on.� Kagome felt herself cry as she and the small neko hurried escaped the house.

�Kagome...�

�Stay out of this....� Kagome commanded as she slammed the door shut.

Kurama pulled against the chains. Something wasn�t right, he could feel it. She was scared of something. He felt the chains disappear. Without a second thought he quickly fled out of the house to find Kagome. Outside it was raining.

�Dammit, it�s covering her scent.� Youko growled in Kurama�s mind.

�Calm down...� Kurama replied as he looked around. He felt a tug in one way. He raced down the street looking for Kagome and Kirara.

~~~

Kagome on the other hand ran through alleys and streets, heading to the park. Once at park Kagome sat on the swings and looked down at the wet Kirara. She smiled and stroked the cat�s fur as she swung back and forth.

�Kirara, I wish I knew what to do.� Kagome whispered. She sighed and hugged the cat youkai as she started to sing to herself. (HAA: Where Will You Go by Evanescence)

You�re too important for anyone

There�s something wrong with everything you see

But I, I know who you really are

You�re the one who cries when you�re alone...

The rain fell harder as if crying for her. Kagome hugged Kirara and continued to sing the chorus.

But where will you go?

With no one left to save you from yourself

You can�t escape

You can�t escape

You think that I can�t see right through your eyes

Scared to death to face reality

No one seems to hear your hidden cries

You�re left to face yourself alone...

Kurama stood on the edge of the sidewalk looking at Kagome�s back. He had heard her singing to herself. Her being looked beautiful or so Youko thought. Her soaking wet hair was against her back, his shirt and boxers clung to her body. She looked the goddess of rain the way she was sitting, majestically on the swing with a small wet kitten on her lap. He blinked when she stopped singing.

~~~

Kagome suddenly stopped singing, feeling the presence of another. It was demonic, Kagome tensed as she slowly looked up at Kurama. She panicked as old memories flew into her mind. No! He is not him! She thought of Inuyasha, who had so readily betrayed her.

She stood up with Kirara in her arms. She looked at Kurama with sorrowful eyes. �You cannot run�he is the one you tried to save. You owe him an explanation.� A voice in her self told her.

Kurama stared into her eyes. Though he kept a calm exterior it pained him tremendously on the inside to see her eyes like that.

�Don�t come after me....those are the words I said to you.� Kagome calmly stated as she hid her eyes in her bangs.

�Why did you run?� Kurama asked as his eyes started to be fleck with golden specks. Youko was pushing his way to the top.

�To save you Kurama, I don�t want another innocent to be punished for my life...my wishes.� Kagome uttered.

�What are you talking about?� Kurama asked as he crossed his way to Kagome in the rain. It continued to pour down on them as she stroked Kirara. A nervous habit...Youko noted.

�Those from one life time shouldn�t know of another,� said Kagome while she stared at Kurama with sad eyes.

�Another life�� Kurama murmured the question. �You mean you�ve lived before this time?� He watched as she just stared back at him.

�Those eyes�� Youko�s voice echoed. Kurama�s eyes widened slightly. �They are the same eyes of the�� Youko growled in his head. �She�s the one that killed Kuronue! She�s one of the only humans that lived in Makai. She---� Youko�s thoughts abruptly stopped as Kurama listened to Kagome.

�I�made many mistakes in my life time. In all of my last two lives, even in this one. Have you heard of the Shikon-no-Tama?� Kagome asked. Kurama nodded slightly. �I was its protector. I held its power within my body for so long. I was originally from this time before I fell down a well into the past. The Feudal Era�is where I met a hanyou named Inuyasha. For I was supposedly the reincarnation of his lost love Kikyo.�

�You are saying you past through time?� Kurama asked. She nodded and looked at the ground.

�We�ve been through so many hardships. Shippo, Miroku, Sango, Inuyasha, and I, we lived through them all.� She looked up at Kurama and stared him in the eye. �It was not long after Inuyasha betrayed us.� Her eyes grew sadder and her voice changed slightly, more depressed. �He was to kill me to give Kikyo her soul back. My friends�Miroku and Sango fought till the very end for me. Shippo was all I had left. He convinced me to use what power I had left to make a wish. To let us be born in a new life. I asked for it to erase there memories. Not mine.� She let her bangs cover her eyes. �Somehow we end up in Makai. They somehow remembered their past lives. We traveled around Makai. We never killed unless we had to.� Kurama narrowed his eyes slightly as he listened to her. �We met two demons. A silver fox and his companion, for some reason I felt I had to watch over them. I had my adoptive kit, Shippo follow them while I mask his scent and aura.�

�You mean you had a young kitsune cub follow him?� Kurama asked sternly. He was now using all his energy suppressing Youko.

�I had no choice! For Kikyo was also reborn and she brought Naraku with her!� Kagome shouted back. �On one of the fox�s heist his companion was killed. It was setup by Naraku. Kikyo dressed up as me and warned the guards. When I arrived I was too late. I saw Kuroune�s body! Sango and Miroku had to drag me away before I went into a rage.� She tried to calm herself down but it wouldn�t work. Kirara jumped out of her arms frightened and ran behind Kurama. �Not long after Naraku had a human attack Youko. I tried by best to find him before anything happened but it was again too late. I yelled as I saw him get wounded. I couldn�t do anything dammit! Even in another life I was weak!� She fell to her knees but she didn�t cry. Her hair fell around her face dripping wet as she glared at the ground. �I was framed the day Kuronue died. Because when I saw Youko he nearly killed me. So I watched from a distance.�

Kurama stood there in shock. �She tried to save us�� Youko tried to think. �Kagome�are you�?� She nodded slightly before looking up at him tiredly. Her eyes widened as did Kurama�s. He watched as Kagome fell forward with a large slash across her back. He was immediately by her side holding her as he glared at the man who did this. Kirara was in her larger form behind Kurama glancing around for other enemies.

�Inuyasha�� Kagome whispered as she peered over her shoulder.

�Pathetic Miko wench!� Inuyasha barked as he licked the blood off his claws. Kurama growled as he tightened his hold on Kagome. Kagome winced and looked up at Kurama. His eyes were flashing between golden and emerald. Her silvery blue eyes softened as she laid her head against his shoulder. She whispered in his ear.

�Don�t�please�� Kurama looked down at Kagome and picked her up so she still had her head on his shoulder. He had one hand on her back and the other under her thigh holding her up. He took off his jacket and pressed it against her back. Kurama started to walk away with Kirara trailing behind when�

�Not so fast,� Kikyo called. She was a few yards in front of Kurama holding her bow up and ready. �I want my soul back.� He growled slightly and tightened his grip on Kagome.

�Let me out�� Youko called out as he growled.

<No, not yet> Kurama objected as he glances from the advancing Inuyasha to the stoic Kikyo. <I�m going to need help.> He thought as Kirara stepped before them. She wasn�t going to fight without her mistress�s word.

Suddenly, a blast of blue spirit energy came out of no where and slammed into Inuyasha, forcing him forward onto the ground.

�Yusuke?� Kurama turned to see Hiei, Yusuke, Sesshomaru, and the baka Kuwabara standing there.

�Didn�t I tell you to watch her fox?� Sesshomaru glared. Kurama growled at Sesshomaru as he pressed his thin jacket against Kagome�s back.

�Fools!� Kikyo had already released the arrow aiming for Kurama and Kagome. Kurama turned his back to shield Kagome. The others were too far away to help.

�Hiraikotsu!� A large boomerang flew across the ground toward the air. It blocked it and was knocked aside into a tree.
�What the hell!?� Yusuke shouted as he saw the giant boomerang.

�Allow me Lady Sango!� A male voice calmly said. �Kazaana!� He shouted as a strong force of wind started to pull Kikyo and Inuyasha toward the source. The Spirit Detectives followed the wind to one, who held his right hand out and held a rosary in the other. The wind was centered to the middle of his right palm. The woman that was with him was running over to Kagome and Kurama as the large cat demon went to pick up her weapon.

�Kagome-chan!� She said as she skidded on her knees in front of Kurama. She looked at her dear friend then at Kurama. �We have to get her to shelter before the wound gets infected by the rain.� Before Kurama could reply someone shouted.

�ECK! GIANT BUGS!� Kuwabara yelled as he coward away. (Sorry we just hate him) The man put the rosary that was in his hand around the hand that had the Kazaana in it. He picked up the monk�s staff beside him and got into position.

�What type of demon is that?� Hiei asked the inu-youkai.

�Naraku�s poisonous wasps,� Sesshomaru answered. They all got ready to kill them when something knocked Yusuke and Kuwabara down. Hiei and Sesshomaru sensed it and dodge. They looked to see Inuyasha in his demon form. Demons started to appear out of the trees and attack Yusuke, Kuwabara, Sango, and Miroku (If you didn�t already know).

Kurama looked on as Hiei and Sesshomaru were fighting the Demon Inuyasha while the others were fighting their own. He turned back as Kirara started to growl. He glared at Kikyo, who was dusting herself off.

�I don�t want to kill you boy, I just want the girl.� Kikyo spoke calmly.

�I will not hand Kagome over.� Kurama stated clearly. He reached into his hair and pulled out his rose. His ki rose angrily as he looked at the woman stoically. He snapped his wrist and cracked the rose whip that was once a rose.

Kirara sniffed the air suddenly and roared with a warning. She quickly ran and picked up Kurama and Kagome as Miroku and Sango jumped on her back. Sesshomaru grabbed Kuwabara and Yusuke by the back of their shirts and ran out of the air. Hiei started to run too but a dead demon was thrown onto him by Inuyasha. Sango saw that Hiei was stuck under the demon. She knew he wouldn�t make it out before miasma that Kirara smelled settled. �Kirara! Keep going!� She called as jumped off Kirara and ran to Hiei. She pulled out an extra gas mask and put it to his mouth as the miasma came.

Hiei struggled against it as she tied it around his head. She turned to the demon and started to lift it up. She sighed and quickly took off her Hiraikotsu from her back and let it hit the ground heavily. Hiei stared at the weapon momentarily then looked up as he felt weight being lifted. He immediately got out from under the weight. Sango let go of the demon then picked up her boomerang and threw it at Inuyasha. She turned to Hiei.

�Let�s get out of here!� She shouted as she caught the Hiraikotsu again. She turned while putting it on her back and ran. Hiei was already ahead of her leading her to Kurama�s house.

~~~

When Kurama he saw Botan there with two children by her side. Miroku blinked at the little girl.

�Rin-chan?� He asked as Kurama got off Kirara.

�Rin is glad to see you too Miroku!� The girl smiled. She looked at Kagome and frowned. �Kagome-chan!� She looked at Kurama. �Rin wants to know what happened to Kagome-chan!� She demanded from the fox spirit.

�Rin, calm down�� Botan smiled.

�Botan�can you heal Kagome?� Kurama asked as he looked up at her.

�No need.� The kitsune cub called. Kurama raised an eyebrow and looked down at Kagome�s back. The gash was partial healed.

�Wow�extraordinary healing abilities was expected but not this much.� Botan gawked slightly.

�SESSHOMARU-SAMA!� Rin yelled as Sesshomaru put down Yusuke and Kuwabara. He looked up slightly his eyes widening slightly.

�Rin�� He said as Rin ran to him and hugged his leg. He lifted the child into his arms. She cried as she hugged him around the neck.

Kurama nearly jumped as he felt Kagome smile. He smiled slightly also and remembered the story she told him. Kurama frowned and looked at Botan.

�Botan why are you here?� He asked.

�Koenma-sama wants to see Kagome.� She stated. She smiled and watched as Hiei and Sango ran to them. �I guess I will have to bring everyone.� She said.

Hiei glared at Sango and ripped the mask off his face and threw it at her. �I didn�t need your help.� He growled.

�Well then I should have left you there. Since struggling under that heavy demon wasn�t much for you.� Sango smiled as she walked to Miroku leaving Hiei to glare holes into her head.

�Ningens�� He snorted. Sango chuckled as Kirara de-transformed and jumped into her arms.

�Well since we�re all here, its time to go to the Spirit World.� Botan said as she opened the portal to the Spirit World. She let her oar appear as she jumped on it. Shippo immediately jumped up and sat next to Botan. �Alright everyone, let�s go.� She flew through the portal with Shippo. Miroku and Sango followed with Yusuke and Kuwabara fighting behind them. Hiei silently followed as Sesshomaru walked through still holding Rin. Kurama looked at Kagome then at the portal.

�Let�s go through ne?� Kagome whispered. She inhaled his scent before he nodded and stepped through.

~~~

They all were led to Koenma�s office. By the time Kurama came everyone was either against the wall, arguing, or just sitting there. Botan went to Kagome and smiled.

�We should get her into more appropriate clothing.� Kurama nodded. Botan blinked. �How will we get her up?�

�Easily!� Miroku spoke. He turned to Sesshomaru, who rolled his eyes.

�Get up girl and follow the woman.� Sesshomaru spoke firmly. He got no response. Aloud anyway. �Dammit woman! If you don�t get up now I will force you up.� Sesshomaru said angrily.

�I�m up, I�m up. Calm down Sessy!� Kagome smirked. Kurama let her feet on the ground but didn�t release her just yet. Hiei seemed to notice this but didn�t show any signs of it. So�the fox is interested in the girl. He mentally chuckled.

�Come now, Kagome.� Botan called. �My name is Botan by the way.� She said. Kagome nodded and moved out of Kurama�s embrace. Botan dragged her out of the office and down the hall.

�Before we get to business�Kurama what was she doing in your boxers and shirt?� Yusuke asked as he tried not to laugh. Kuwabara looked like he was about to explode.

�Well, you see�� Before Kurama could explain he was cut off by the Taiyoukai. Sesshomaru held him up with one hand as he glared at the Kitsune spirit.

�Sesshomaru! Let him explain!� Sango cried as she let Rin play with Kirara.

�Yes, yes�please calm down.� A childish voice called as a kid entered the room. �Also please put Kurama down. I still need his services.� Sesshomaru snorted and unceremoniously dropped Kurama. �Now, I would like to ask you,� the kid said as he looked at Sesshomaru. �How the Demon Lord of the Western Lands is still alive when he should be dead?�

�Why should I give a toddler such information?� Sesshomaru asked.

�Because this Toddler Sesshomaru-sama is Koenma,� Koenma said. �I am the Heir to the Spirit World.�

�Koenma-sama, why did you want to see Kagome-chan?� Sango asked.

�She holds answers I need to know.� He simply said.

�Hn�� Hiei leaned against the wall with his arms crossed.

Suddenly Botan came in giggling. She was tugging at Kagome, who wasn�t coming into the room.

�Oh don�t be shy, it�s not like anything is going to happen.� Botan soothed as she pulled Kagome into the room. Everyone awed at Kagome�s beauty.

She was in a black kimono with silver cherry blossoms on it and golden seems. Her hair was up in a high ponytail and had a few tendrils cascading down beside her face. She blushed slightly as everyone stared at her.

�Kagome-san, I am Lord Koenma of the Spirit World.� The toddler said from his desk. �I have a few questions for you.�

�Oh, of course Koenma-sama.� Kagome said as she walked to his desk.

�Koenma is fine,� He said as she stood in front of him. �Well first thing is first�I would like to know something. Are you Yusuke�s cousin?� This snapped everyone out of their trance.

�WHAT KIND OF INSANE QUESTION IS THAT?� Yusuke shouted. Kagome bit her lip and looked at Yusuke.

�Actually�I am�� She said. �I kind of placed a spell of forgetfulness on you when I left for the Feudal Era.�

�Say wha�� Yusuke stopped at Kagome chanted slightly and took the spell off. Yusuke looked at Kagome. �Alright, so it�s true. But know once we�re done here, you and I are going to have a long talk Kagome!� He lectured.

�Always so protective Yus-chan.� She smirked at his nickname. He glared at her but stayed silent. His glare told her she was in for it later.

�Yes, now onto the other questions.� Koenma said. �Why is there no record of you being in the Feudal Era or in Makai?� Hiei narrowed his eyes slightly.

�I wished it so�� Kagome murmured.

�How?� Koenma pressed. Kagome sighed and pulled out the Shikon-no-tama out of her Kimono. �The Shikon-no-tama�but it disappeared centuries ago.� Kagome sighed not really wanting to tell her story again.

�Perhaps it would be better if you saw it instead of me telling you.� Kagome spoke as she held the Shikon-no-tama between her hands, where it was hovering. �Then maybe more questions will be answered.� She closed her eyes let her memories flow into the jewel.

The Shikon-no-tama then projected the images into the air. When she first fell down the well and it showed from when she put the spell on Yusuke after he saw her hurt. It played all in between Inuyasha�s betrayal, Sango and Miroku�s deaths, Rin�s disappearance, and Kagome�s last stand.

�How horrible�� Botan whispered.

�There is more�� Kagome spoke dismally. She frowned slightly.

The images then played when she made her wish after Naraku severely wounded her. Kurama narrowed his eyes. �She left that out on purpose�� Youko spoke a little too calmly. He watched as she closed her eyes and knelt on the ground. Suddenly, an image of a little small baby being held by a male kitsune youkai appeared. A voice was suddenly heard the male kitsune�s voice. Kurama�s and Hiei�s as well as Botan�s and Koenma�s eyes widened.

�Kagome�my Kago-chan�you came earlier than I was told. My name is Mashiro.� The white kitsune spoke. �I was told to guard you with my life, and so I will until the day I die. From now on Kago-chan you are my only heir.� Mashiro said as he put a pendant of his tribe around her little neck. �This pendant of the moon and fox�� The crest had a crescent moon on it with a fox underneath it. �Will be proof that you are the heir to the Southern Lands,� Mashiro smiled.

Kagome stared at the image with a distant look in her wide, glazed eyes. Why do I not remember this? She asked herself. She found herself listening to the others as the image fast forwarded.

�I do not know, but Kagome are you aware that Mashiro is the most legendary kitsune there is?� Koenma turned to her.

�Not to mention he is a pure white moon fox.� Botan added. Kagome nodded slightly and stayed on the floor. The imaged stopped at a young Kagome training with Mashiro in his Southern Lands.

Mashiro stopped as his ears swirled back to the tree line.

�Tou-san�why is there men here?� Kagome asked innocently. Mashiro pushed Kagome behind him as he called out to the unwelcome guests.

�Come out Youko, Kuronue I can smell you both.� The two demons came out. Youko dress in his white kimono with his white hair and golden eyes, his ears also. Kuronue was dressed in his usual top hat and black outfit. His wings folded to his back as he play with his pendant, his violet eyes on Kagome.

�So the rumors are true, Mashiro, the legendary White Moon Kitsune is harboring a human child.� The silver fox spoke hatefully.

�She is my only heir, her reflexes are that of a youkai.� Mashiro protested. Kuronue stared at the young girl intently. �Tell me, why has the famous thief come to see me and tell me news I already know?�

�I came to warn you old friend�other youkai are very disturbed that you have a human heir to your lands.� Youko said seriously.

�I know this�what do you want?� Mashiro pressed.

�The girl�� Kuronue said finally. �She is a danger to us all.� Mashiro growled and crouched down to attack his old friends.

�You stay away from my daughter!� He growled louder.

�Tou-san�� Kagome moved in front of him and stared at Youko. �He looks just like him�the man in my dreams��

�Ceres�� Mashiro whispered. �Stay back��

�Daddy�I�ve always asked you what those dreams meant. You never thought much of my�illusionary dreams.� She whispered. Youko stared at the human child and knelt down to be eye level with her. For some reason�he felt he needed to know about her, he needed to protect her.

�Child�what are you? Why do you have high spirit energy?� Youko asked seriously.

�I am a miko�� Kagome said nervously.

�Youko! What has gotten into you?� Kuronue demanded to know. Youko just shook his head and looked into Kagome�s silvery lilac eyes. Youko looked up to Mashiro. The Lord of the Southern Lands seemed to understand Youko�s request and nodded in approval.

�We will meet again Ceres.� He pulled out a white rose with golden tips. �Until then, keep this.� With that Youko stood up and disappeared into the tree line with a glaring Kuronue.

Kurama watched as similar events went through his mind as if just revealing themselves. The images Kagome was showing how the others found her, her training with Mashiro, and Mashiro�s death in protecting Kagome.

Mashiro was fighting off the demons that Naraku had sent. He just found out where Kagome was living and decide to attack when they least expected it. Kagome shot her arrows purifying all demons that came near. Soon her arrows ran out and she was too far away from Mashiro.

I am too far to call for Mashiro�s help. Damn�I�ll just have to try using my unperfected techniques. Kagome thought as she put the pure white silverish bow on her back. She put her hands together in front of her necklace which held the Shikon-no-tama. A lilac force field appeared around Kagome as she closed her eyes. The energy attracted most of the demons towards her. Though the demons only got purified once they hit the barrier.

�CERES!!� Mashiro called out when he noticed what she was doing. �Damn�� He slashed a demon away with his staff. �She can�t hold that for long. She�s not trained for that much power yet.�

Kagome knelt onto the ground, her lilac eyes glowing white. Her barrier pulsed with new energy.

�CERES!� A new voice yelled. Kagome looked around and saw a blur of black and white. Demons fell quickly as two people stood in front of the barrier. It was Youko and Kuronue.

�Foolish to help them Youko...� Kuronue smiled glad he was able to get a good fight. Youko just nodded and turned to Kagome�s barrier.

�Ceres�let me help you. It�s me�Youko.� He said. Kagome�s eyes stopped glowing as the barrier was dropped.

�Youko-kun!� Kagome called out, lowering the barrier. Youko started to run toward her but stopped.

�Ceres behind you!� He yelled as she was pulled back by someone. Mashiro�s and Kuronue�s attention turned to Kagome as she stared straight ahead not frighten. Something seemed wrong about that.

�Kukuku�well I finally found you girl. Hello again, it seems being reborn in this era didn�t help you either.� Naraku spoke loud enough for all to hear.

�What are you talking about?� Kagome asked him in confusion.

�Oh, do you not remember your past�.Kagome?� Naraku laughed. Kagome�s eyes widened as the Shikon-no-tama pulsed and her eyes turned to a bright blue color.

�Kagome died centuries ago Naraku.� She replied and lowered her head. �You should know that after all this time.�

�CERES!� Mashiro called out as he got next to Youko, who was alert but cautious about the situation.

�Tou-san�.� She murmured. �Stay back�all of you!� She warned her friends and surrogate father.

For some reasons the memories instantly skipped to the part where Kagome sees Mashiro die. Then it skipped to when she found everyone from the feudal era. Kagome closed her eyes not wanting to watch as it played Kuronue�s death, Youko�s false assumption, his disappearance, and The Last Battle in Makai.

An older Kagome stood with the Shikon-no-Tama glowing brightly around her neck. Her eyes were bright blue with pain and guilt. �Naraku!� Her voice sounded strangely mature as she called out to the baboon pelted demon. Around her were the bodies of many demons and of her friends. Sango�s body was brutally beaten and torn, a purple robe covered her body and head. The only reason you could tell was because the amount of blood around her.

Not too far away was Miroku�s right arm, dismembered from his body. The rest of Miroku�s body was under a tree twisted in a sickly way. A white haori was laid over him.

Shippo�the young kitsune was pinned to a tree with the small for of Kirara. They were held up by stakes of wood that Naraku had thrown at them.

�My god�� Yusuke spoke as he stumbled back into his chair. Kuwabara had the same expression as Yusuke. One of total disgust, pity, and shock. Botan covered her mouth with her hand as Koenma turned his head away slightly. Miroku, Sango, and Shippo all turned their heads and started to cried slightly. Sesshomaru was holding a crying Rin into his chest. Hiei looked on with a grim and dark expression as Kurama held an expression of total guilt.

Kagome on the other hand was shaking. Her body was visibly shaking. Her eyes were glazed and hollow as memory played back to her.

�I will kill you�I will kill you for all that you�ve done!� Kagome screamed. Her Ki sky rocketed as she glared at the demon. �You killed Kuronue�you had Youko think I betrayed him�You killed my friends again�and you have turned Inuyasha evil. For this Naraku, I will avenge them all with your death! For all of them and Mashiro!� She shouted. Her outfit altered itself into a fighting black kimono. It was sleeveless a slightly baggy. Kagome�s waist length hair was now free from her braid as leather metal-topped gloves appeared on her arms.

�You can�t defeat me! Not alone girl�you are still too weak.� Naraku spoke wisely.

�You are right�� She admitted. �Therefore�until I can make sure history does not repeat itself I will make a wish.� Kagome smirked as a barrier formed around her as the jewel rose off her chest a bit. �I, Kagome Guardian of the Jewel, I you�The Miko who constructed it�Midoriko to take those who were reborn once and make it once again. I ask you please! Also�.� After a pause of where Kagome didn�t speak there was a flash of lavender light then all went black. A voice talked through the darkness.

�Kagome-sama�wish granted. But be warned on the night of the Full Moon. You know the cost of asking for my help twice. Please�do not let it become a third. I will send you to be reborn into the time you original came from. There only you will have memories of all this, unless something great will happen.�

With that the play back stopped and Kagome dropped to the ground. Her spirit energy was weak as was her ki. The Shikon-no-tama rolled out of her hand. Unnoticed by the other the Shikon-no-Tama flashed a blackish color before turning back to a light lavender.

Kagome blinked slightly as her blurry vision tried to concentrate on that was holding her. Her head felt fuzzy and she felt dizzy. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath of the person�s scent that was holding her. Smells like�Rain and Roses� Kagome thought as she drifted to sleep.

~~~

Kurama lifted Kagome into his arms and looked around. Everyone was worried of the young maiden who just showed them of their past.

�Perhaps I should take Kagome to a room?� Kurama said as he turned walked away.

�Yes, yes�Shippo you go with him.� Koenma stated. Shippo bounced up and down and landed on Kagome�s stomach and looked at Kurama, who smiled at him.

Unknown to the others, a dark figure picked up the Shikon-no-tama which was left on the ground forgotten.

~~~End of Chapter!

~Ending Theme: When you feel all alone

And the world has turned it�s back on you

Give me a moment please to tame your wild wild heart

I know that you feel like the walls are closing in on you

It�s hard to find relief and people can be so cold

When darkness is upon your dare and feel like you take anymore

Chorus: Let me be the one you call

If you jump I�ll break your fall

Lift you up and fly away with you into the night

If you need to fall apart

I can mend a broken heart

If you need to crash then crash and burn

You�re not alone

When you feel all alone

And a loyal friend is hard to find

You�re caught in a one way street

With monster in your head

When hopes and dreams are far away and

You feel you can�t face the day

Chorus

Because there always been heartache and pain

And when it�s over you�ll breathe again

You�ll breathe again

When you feel all alone

And the world has turned its back on you

Give me a moment please

To tame your wild wild heart

Chorus~
