Author's note: Hello all ye readers. Um, just to clear things up: disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha, I think Kagome would have a lot more fun if I did… And Inuyasha wouldn't be so retarded… But anyways, this disclaimer goes throughout the entire story, thank you. I've added a character, or rather a few, in this story. You'll recognize the newbies well enough, but the main characters I'll be toying with is Kagome, and even more with Kai. Kaimera is my OC, and I believe I'll be posting a picture, drawn by myself, on my dev account. DarknDeadly(.)deviantart(.)com. Check it out.

Yeah, well, I do have pairings; to give you guys a heads up I'll list them. Some you'll like, some you won't, but this'll be a good story, I promise.

Kagome & Inuyasha, Koga & Ayame, Miroku & OC, Sesshoumaru & OC… I won't say which OCs, you'll find out.

The OCs: Kaimera Song, Sachimaru (Sesshomaru's son), Machiru (Sachimaru's mother), Amaya, Koji (Shippo's cousin), Graffiti, and possibly other minor ones. The High Witch is not my original idea, I found her in another Inuyasha fanfiction, I believe a Kagome and Sesshomaru pairing, but I remember not the story or the witch's name so she'll be Morgana. No relation to Merlin, however.

"I don't understand."

"Then let me put it simple, everything has a balance. When something evil is created, something pure is created as well," Kaede stood from the trio of humans sitting in her hut. She walked over and placed more wood onto the fire.

"And we're referring to Naraku as being the evil, right?" Sango asked.

"Yes," Kaede turned to them, "there was a pure being created to balance Naraku."

Miroku sat back, "do we know what or who it is?"

"No," Kaede said, "at least…I do not."

Kagome perked up, "then someone else does? Who? Who would know?"

"I know not," Kaede sat down once more.

Miroku sighed, "Kikyo might. Maybe the High Witch."

"The High Witch?" Kagome looked at him.

"I've heard of her," Sango was petting Kirara, "she lives on the highest mountains near here."

"Near Edo?" Kagome asked.

"Aye, she lived there," Kaede said, "but she's been missing for awhile now."

Kagome sighed and sat back, "so we're back at square one…"

"Kaede, do we really need to find the balance?" Miroku asked.

Kaede looked at him, "ye've defeated Naraku time and again, and time and again he's returned. He seems undefeated, unable to be killed. I think that this balance is our last shot."
