"Kagome! Your lunch is ready!" Kagome's mother called

"Coming!" Kagome replied

The young school girl has been home for about a week. She got done with some test and somehow got an average score. To her dismay she couldn't get her grades up at the rates she was going. Not when she was so busy in the past and traveling. Kagome sighed at the thought of the past but it didn't take her long to shrug it off. She always loved to see clearer skies and purer air blowing in the wind. So there really wasn't much to complain about.

After she finished packing Kagome raced down stairs and greeted by her mom. Mrs. Higurashi gave her the huge bento box and smiled. Kagome smiled back before taking off.

"You better be careful!" Mrs. Higurashi said

"I will!" Kagome assured

Kagome began to make her way to the well. She knew it might be a time she would stay in the past. With a annoying halfbreed who keeps her from coming back. She shook her head and jumped into the well. Passing through the portal she gently floated until she landed on soft ground. She could feel herself happy until a familiar presence made itself known.

"What took you so long?" A annoyed voice hmphed

Kagome eyebrow twitched in irritation. Not only did he have to greet her... He had to complain about it. Kagome managed to get to the top of the well to meet a pair of golden eyes glare her down. His dog ears twitched as he folded his arms.

"Mom made lunch for us! So that we have something to eat before leaving!" Kagome scolded

Inuyasha did his usually, "keh!" and turned away. His annoyance showed as he lifted his head away from Kagome who was still trying to get out of the well.

"Keh, we're not on a picnic you know!" Inuyasha grumbled

Kagome's eye twitched as she could feel rage building up inside of her, "Inuyasha SIT!" Kagome demanded. Sure enough the beads of subjugation glowed and forced Inuyasha to the ground. Kagome sighed before fully coming out of the well and walking up to Inuyasha. He quickly sat up as he thought she was going to say sit again. Sadly all she did was take off the beads of subjugation off of his neck.

"Hey! Why you doing that?!" Inuyasha bravely questioned

Kagome paused before responding to his question, "So you have the freedom to run to Kikyo..."

Inuayasha's ears went down in shame. They both knew what this tension was about. It wasn't about him being insensitive or being rude. It was the fact that a week ago he broke Kagome's heart. Kagome turned away without remorse and began to make her way to Kaede's village.

Kagome was remembering the past week of torment. She was upset about Inuyasha's choice in staying with Kikyo. Even if she was going to die and was already dead. It didn't matter to Inuyasha and yet... He still played with her heart and broke it. Kagome went back home to cool her head as well as her heart. She finally came to the conclusion of that things between her and Inuyasha were nothing. This meant she finally moved on and looking up to her future.

Though she wondered who could possibly be the one. Kouga was a nice guy, handsome, strong, well mattered at times, and also loyal, but Kagome never saw him more than a friend. The wolf demon was always flattering and always trying to court her. Though Kagome never thought of seeing Kouga the same way.

Sesshomaru was a definitely out of the picture. He was strong, silent, and beautiful. Kagome admitted of building a short crush at one time, but like with Inuyasha she got over him. He was too silent and proud it made her somewhat dislike demon boy-friends.

Kagome sighed before looking up into the sky as wind made her hair sway gently. Was there any possibility that someone was there? All she wanted was love to come her way. She wanted something to push this pain away and build anew beginning. Kagome sighed again as she saw Kaede's village coming into view. Kagome placed romance in the back of her mind as she finally made her way to the village.

"Welcome back Kagome." Sango's voice greeted

Kagome smiled at her friends and the two began to talk. They then went for lunch and enjoying Kagome's mother cooking. Inuyasha would liked to join but Kagome gave him signs that he wasn't invited to this picnic. So he was left to watch and stare.

After eating the group began to leave Kagome stretched. She couldn't believe of the nice weather and the calming sounds of the grass rustling. Inuyasha on the other hand still could feel guilt build up. Though there was no use in regrets now. As they continued their journey something lurked in to bushes. They remained hiding and stalking their intended prey. Though the half demon caught whiff of them and turned to face them. With his hand on his sword, "We got company." he growled.

Before anyone could respond the demons came from their hiding place. Though one stood out from the rest. It had the same shade of color, but it was clearly the master of the overflowing demons. The demon's leader was huge and resembled a dragon with it's huge wing span. Though it was clear it was a serpent and not a dragon.

"It's a demon!" Miroku glared

Inuyasha didn't respond but began to growl at the coming threat. The serpent didn't seem fazed by the half-breeds demeanor. The serpent scanned the group showing it's intelligence as it carefully sought who to strike first. It scanned and scanned until it's eyes saw Kagome. It's blacked filled eyes grew wide as it's red eye pierced into the girl's soul. Kagome flinched as it roared loudly. Kagome looked and saw it was wounded and sending it's little minion after them. Inuyasha and the others fended off the first group of demons but were surrounded in the end.

"These demons seem more dead than alive..." Kagome though

Kagome sense these's creature lifeless. They didn't possess anything at all. Kagome then turned her attention to the injured serpent and saw something glowing on it's forehead. Kagome ordered Shippo to give her an arrow as she instantly ran after the beast, "You dummy! What do you think your doing?!" Inuyasha yelled in shock. Kagome ignored his insults as she continued to run to the serpent.

Not this time Inuyasha! I'm going to do thins my way!

Determind to prove herself, Kagome jumped as high as she could. As she soared in the air she could Inuyasha yelling after her. Though it didn't matter at this point. She was going to prove she had what it takes to defeat even this beast. Finally close to the beast's head she stabbed it's head with all her might and purified the creature. With blood coming out the serpent looked up at her with it's red eyes. It didn't seemed fazed as it's forehead flashed and created a portal.

ching, ching

Kagome gasped as the sounds of bells continued to chime in her ear. She felt her body completely limp and unable to move. The bells continued to chime as an overwhelming feeling shot through her entire couldn't explain it but it felt like cold. What was this feeling? Was it her emotions or maybe she was dead. Something in her mind told her that she wasn't dead but how could she explain this feeling?

"It feels cold and heartless... Just like snow..." Kagome thought

She felt herself blacking out into darkness. Somewhere way further away a man stops in his tracks and sniffs the air. He didn't know who this scent was or how it suddenly appeared but his curiosity got the best of him, "Who scent is this?"

Kagome was laying down on the hard ground as she was beginning to stir up. As she gently opened her eyes she gasped in fright, "What the hell is that?! A moon?!" She shrieked. Kagome sat up as she tried to comprehend this sight. How was it possible for a moon to have a face and grin?! Kagome got up to her feet as she tried to recall what happened. She remembered being attacked by a serpent and the beast dragging her into a portal. After a moment of thinking she grew tears.

"Why did this have to happen?!" Kagome whined, "All I wanted was to move forward not to a new world!"

That instant Kagome grew into panic and ran a random direction. Her head wasn't working and she was moving around in pure panic. Why did this have to happen now? She never wanted this to happen at all. God sure had a funny way to put her into a horrible situation. Just a little ways away a man continued to follow the strange scent. At least he realized it's sources was heading his way. He panicked but was tackled by Kagome. The small girl fell to the floor in a daze as the man wrapped his arms around where Kagome tackled him.

Kagome gained herself quickly and got up to her feet instantly. The man looked and saw the girl standing before him. He then saw she was rubbing the back of her head, "I'm sorry about that... I wasn't looking where I was going..." Kagome apologized shyly. The man lifted a brow before sniffing her. As he did so Kagome got a good glimpse of this man. He was tall and very masculine looking man, he appeared to be in his mid-thirties with some unkept facial hair and tanned skin. He had very short dark brown hair that spiked out. She saw over this man's left eye was a tattoo with the words "NOFUTURE". The man was wearing black t-shirt with a strange white symbol on his left shoulder. Kagome took a glimpse of the man's striped prison shirt wrapped around his waist with his stripped prison pants. She then saw the chain-ball on the man's left ankle.

The man finally stopped sniffing her and scanned the girl. This girl definitely wasn't from around these parts. It was all over her scent that reeked of cherry blossoms. This strange girl must be from japan if she smelt of this sweet tree. That was all he could comprehend, but why this girl was out in the middle of the desert was a mystery to him. The fact remained that she still can report him but if he killed her there was nothing to worry about. He grew a malice grin that gave Kagome chills. The man made his first swing as Kagome moved out of harms way.

There was a moment of a pause as the man used his other arm to swing again. Kagome instinctively moved and began to dash away from the man. The man grew frustrated as he could never lay a finger on her, "Hold still dammit!" The man hissed. Kagome ignored him and couldn't believe what was going on. The first person she meets in this world it had to be a rampaging killer. Was her luck at an end? Before the thought of death she recalled the beads of subjugation. That instant she smiled and stopped her running. This was her chance to stop this mad man and get things under control. She paused before realizing one small problem.

"I'm going to have to get these's on his neck first... Never thought about that until now..." Kagome thought

Distracted by though Kagome shrieked when she saw the man tower over her. His killing intent didn't change as she threw the beads at him before running away. The man stopped in his tracks as the beads landed around his neck. He looked at them as he wondered what they were, "What the hell are these?" He asked out loud.

Kagome again stopped in her tracks as she turned to face the man with a smug grin. The man didn't understand her sudden change in behavior as she folded her arms and opened her lips, "Sit!"

The beads of subjugation glowed as the man struggled fight the force. In the end he couldn't fight the power of the beads and plowed to the ground. Kagome saw the man still able to move as he began to reach out to her. It would seem he didn't want to give up just yet. So she hmphed and again said the sit command. She then continued to say it until the man was sunk into the earth further. The poor man remained there as she realized he went a little too far with the sit command or so she thought.

"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR?!" The man yelled as he stood onto his feet

"LOOK BUDDY! YOU ATTACKED ME FIRST!" Kagome yelled back

"I thought you were going to report to lord Death!" The man hissed

"Eh? Who's lord Death?" Kagome questioned

"Seriously?" The man asked in astonishment

The man was shocked that this girl didn't know who lord Death was. There wasn't anybody on this planet that didn't know who lord Death was! The man lifted his head gently as he went into his thoughts. If she really didn't know who lord Death was. Then he would that he would have to apologize to her. The man face pouted as he looked away. He wasn't going to apologize even though he should, "Excuse me..." Kagome called out. The man blinked before looked at Kagome who smiled at him.

"I'm sorry to ask, but who is lord Death? Can you explain him to me?" Kagome asked

"He's a meister who lives in the Death City. He's the man known to be the worlds most powerful meister who can destroy anything that threatens this world... Though to be honest I really don't know much about him nor want to." The man explained

Kagome only nodded as she then wonder, "What are meisters?"

The man looked at her in complete shock as he had to explain what were meisters and weapons. It took a few minutes for Kagome to take in all this new information. Kagome finally got an understanding as the man sighed in frustration. He then looked at the beads that surrounded his neck. He took hold of them and tried to remove them. Sadly it seems they were bound to his neck by a mysterious force. Kagome saw the man nawing and yanking the beads.

"Only I can take them off." Kagome informed

"Then take them off!" The man ordered

Kagome glared and said the sit command. The man went to the ground as she turned to face him, "I will not remove them! Cause your going to be my guide!" Kagome ordered. The man got back up to his feet and so wanted to strangle this girl. Not that he could with this "leash" on his neck. Kagome saw that she was in control and held out her hand to the man. The man flinched but then grew curious on what she was doing.

"My name is Kagome Higurashi. May I know your name?" Kagome introduced

The man paused and stared at Kagome's hand. He realized she was wanting to shake hands. He took hold of her hand and gently shook it, "My name is Free..." Free introduced. Kagome smiled and looked around. With a guide to get her around maybe she could find a way to back home. The two then traveled to Death City. Kagome was curious about the city and forced Free to follow/lead her there. Upon arriving they were surrounded by guards. Kagome lifted her hands in surrender but Free head bashed one soldier. A fight was about to break loose until Kagome said the sit command and put Free back in place. Free tries to fight the bead but he was forced to the ground. The guards watch in awe as the girl only had to say one word and the man they feared was plowed to the ground.

Kagome looked at the guards and surrendered once again. Free had no choice but to surrender as well. With the two now in custody they were lead to a huge building. Kagome awed at it's structure until she was thrown into a cell. Free was bind and blindfolded before being tossed into the same cell as Kagome.

"I kill you!" Free threatened

"You can't if you're blindfolded like that..." Kagome scuffed

"I wasn't talking to you!" Free growled

Kagome sighed at the man's behavior. He must be frustrated with his situation. She couldn't blame him as she forced him against his will. She looked and saw Free leaning against the wall and grumbling to himself. She honestly couldn't believe the man was pouting like a child. Then again she barely knew him and should worry about herself for now.

That moment a guard came in and ordered Kagome to follow her. She had no choice but to follow the guard that began to lead her to who knows what. She hoped they wouldn't kill her or anything. She only wished to figure out where she was and what kind of world this was. She was then led into a strange room that looked liked it stretched for miles. Though the windows ruined the image and gave her a feeling of being in a room. In the center was a platform with a small table and a mirror. Once there a man with a childish skull mask suddenly appeared before her.

"Hiya~!" The man said cheerfully

Kagome shrieked and slapped the man away. The guard was about to retrain her until the mask man stopped him. He sent the guard away as the mask one looked at Kagome who trembled in fright, "I'm sorry my dear... I didn't mean to scare you..." The mask man said. Kagome still wasn't sure about him but she stopped trembling.

"Where are my manners? My name is lord Death." Death introduced

"Kagome... Kagome Higurashi..." Kagome replied

"It is true that you subdued the immortal werewolf?" Death asked

Kagome blinked at what Death called Free. Was that man really a werewolf? He seemed human to her then again she remembered demons could hide their appearances. Kagome then wondered what Death meant by subduing Free, "Do you mean the beads?" Kagome asked

"I heard that you said the word sit and the wolf was forced to the ground." Death explained

"That was all the beads doing... Though it's hard to explain..." Kagome said

"Beads?" Death awed

"Yes, they are what give me the power to subdue him..." Kagome nodded

Lord Death tilted his head as he scanned the girl. She didn't seem like she could put up a fight alone. Though the beads she speaks off reminds him of magic. Could this girl be a witch? That couldn't be right as her soul never showed such a thing. Kagome tilted her head also as she wondered what the mask man was thinking. After a moment lord Death leaned closer to Kagome and bravely asked her a blunt question, "Are you a witch?"

"What no! I'm a human being!" Kagome protested

"Then how are you able to control the beads?" Death questioned

"It's because of spiritual energy. That's different from magic..." Kagome tried to explain

Saying that didn't seem to convince lord Death. After a few times of explain she wasn't a witch lord Death finally saw she wasn't a witch. Now was the situation of what they were going to do to her and Free. To her surprise that Death just assigned her to be a student of his school.

"What will happen to Free?" Kagome asked

"He's a danger to the city. I can't allow him to roam free." Death explained

"I want you to release him into my custody." Kagome pleaded

Lord Death grew a shock faces as Kagome again demanded him to release Free. It was either she didn't fear or was rather attached to the werewolf. Then again what he could feel was that she didn't want harm to come across the werewolf. Lord Death had no choice but to give into the girl's request and release Free into her custody.

Kagome smiled as she was lead back to Free. She giggled at the fact Free was trying to get out of his binds and blindfold. He stopped the moment he smelt her and looked in her direction. Kagome got the blindfolds and binds off, "We can leave now." Kagome smiled. Free blinked before being lead out of the school scout free. How in hell did this girl managed to have them both release?! Free struggled to think about it and had no choice but to follow Kagome. She led them to an apartment and told him they will be attending lord Death's school. Free groaned at the idea.
