Chapter 1

Pain. It was all I could feel. My bone felt like they were breaking. I was awake. I was fully aware of everything. No one was here. They were gone. Alone. Forever alone or was I? I'm not sure anymore. I could no longer go home. The well closed. Naraku gone.

The jewel was also gone. No longer would it taint people. No longer would they dream of its power. It would fade into legend. Everything faded into legend sooner or later.

The pain slowly faded. Faded away like the light of the day. I stood up slowly. My body sore. The crystal was gone. I wondered where it went. It was the reason for my pain. Sesshomaru's blood got on it while I was holding it.

Flashback
I tried to go back through the well. I couldn't. I sat on the bottom of the well crying. Crying over the loss on my family. I knew everyone was worried about me but I didn't want to leave. The well was the last thing connecting me to the future. To my family. After the sun set was when I finally left the well. I knew I would get sick if I stayed outside to long. When I finally climbed out I saw Sango. I knew Inuyasha wouldn't show up. He had Kikyo now.

"Kagome are you alright?"

I nodded. Sango and Miroku will be getting married soon. I wanted them to be happy and not worry about me. "Let's go back." She nodded and we walked back to Kaede's village. We would leave in the morning to go to Sango's village. I wonder who I would go with or would I travel on my own.
Day after they went to Sango's village

I hugged Sango and Miroku. I decided to travel by myself for awhile. My companions all had someone to care for. I was alone but it gave me time to think. I walked into a clearing and saw Sesshomaru. He helped defeat Naraku. I was about to speak when mist started to cover the area. Something was thrown at me and I caught it. It was a clear crystal. I stared at it.

"What the?" I jumped out of the way when a blast of energy was thrown towards me. I rolled on the ground and before I could get up another was thrown towards me when Sesshomaru blocked it. It cut his shoulder and blood got on the crystal. I moved away from the fight. The crystal started to turn red and the pain started. I collapsed to the ground trying to not scream in pain.

End Flashback

I walked towards Sango's village since it was the closest. Sango was walking outside.

"Sango."

"K-kagome what happened to you?"

"What are you talking about?"

Sango pulled me over to a puddle of water. I looked into the water and gasped. My hair was a blue black and my eyes were the same brown as before. My ears were pointed and I was taller. Also on my forehead was an ocean blue tear drop. "Well now I know what that crystal did."

"How did this happen Kagome?"

"After I left I saw Sesshomaru and something attacked us. During the battle I caught a clear crystal and when Sesshomaru protected me some of his blood got on it. Then all I could feel was pain and when it stopped I guess this happened."

"I've never heard of this happening. Maybe Miroku can answer this."

I nodded and we walked to Sango's home. Miroku, and Shippou where there. I could smell them all. I had to cover my nose. Too many scents. My head was spinning .I took a quick breath to calm myself down then we went to find Miroku.

When we found him he stared at me. He walked closer and examined the tear drop on my forehead. "Kagome how did this happen?"

I explained everything to him and he just nodded.

"Kagome your the Southern Lords daughter."
