Whispers of a Broken Soul, Sacrifice, and It's Going to be a long night....fyi I am writing the chapters in between butt loads of school work ( I am not really enjoying college at the moment) and I am also having a bit of a writers block for them as I am in desperate need on how to get the stories to get where I want them to go (did that even make sense?? oh well... lol) but anyways I am NOT neglecting y'all, but I am a bit stuck and nor have i forgotten about them.

Disclaimer: I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho or Inu-yasha or any and all of it's characters! It would all have been a collassal waste of time and money if it had been mine...for I surely would have ruined them both... but luckily the world is full of geniuses who actually plan the plotline in extensive detail! Unlike me... Anyways! on with the story!

Summary: After a terrible turn for the worse, Kagome is forced to flee home without the completed jewel. With her life stolen from her and her destiny sealed in time that is frighteningly quickly running out, only a certain dectective turned youkai will be able to help her. The only question is...after everything she has loved has been ripped from her, will she let him get close enough to help her?

Heart Collecting

Chapter one:

It was not suppossed to be like this! None of it should have happened this way! How come fate was so cruel to her!? Why couldn't the girl have a nice break once in a while? How could things have gotten this way so quickly after all the effort she had put in for the last two and a half years?

She was not direly injured as her friends where. Nor was she dead like some of them. Tears came to her eyes renewed, and she cholked on a sob as the tears threatened to spill over. Miroku was covering for Inu-Yasha and Kagome, as the hanyou sped to the well with a shocked Kagome. Inu-Yasha himself was gravely injured and Sango...dear sango, had died in order to save her little brothers life. Kagome was going to miss her adoptive older sister. She started to cry as Naraku's roar of anger and laughing malice filled the whole realm, as he realized that the nearly complete jewel was no longer in his possession. He laughed as Kagome and Inu-Yasha realized that Miroku was undoubtedly dead. They both felt the ominous and tainted aura coming for them. Inu-Yasha willed himself to go faster.

"We're almost there Kagome... hold on!" He whispered. She looked up to see the well rushing into view.

"Inu-yasha..." She looked up at his grave face as more tears threatened to spill.

"Kagome we don't have the full jewel, but if you take Naraku's nearly completed jewel to the future, then he nor anyone else will be able to get their dirty hands on it. Purify this part of it, and keep it safe Kagome. Seal the well and don't ever come back, for your own safety. Naraku can't reach you in the future."

With that he pulled her into a bone crushing hug which only lasted a few seconds, and then he lowered her into the well and let her go. At the last minute she looked up at the sound os his scream of pain, and watched in horror as his now lifeless body was draped over the well.

The last thing she saw was her former love's lifeless eyes staring hauntingly into hers before a blue light engulfed her vision.

"NO! Inu-Yasha!!!" She felt her heart breack into a million shards, just like how the shikon no tama had been broken

And then with a blinding flash she was at the bottom of the well in her own time.

"kagome? What are you doing back so early? You just left this morning didn't you?" Souta's voice rang out through the darkness and down the dark well to his sister.

But even as the day started to fall into night and the Higurashi's pulled their family member out of the well in a time consuming task, the young time travelling miko gave no response or acknowledged their presences.

As soon as she was pulled from the well, her legs gave out and she was staring lifelessly at the ground in front of her. Alarmed cries rang throughout her family members over her well being, but she gave no movement to calm their wories.

For once in the time travelling girls life, time itself had stopped the moment she had sen those lifeles eyes.

She stared with lifeless eyes into her mothers frantic and worried face, and only a single grief filled tear slid down her cheek to give away to her mother what had happened. Her mother's eyes widened and then she started to cradle her daughters seemingly lifeless body.

"Oh my baby! my poor poor baby! why did this have to happen to you!?" Her mother tears fell onto Kagome's face, crying for her daughter that could not.
