I do not own or make a profit from Inuyasha or Yu Yu Hakusho. Rumiko Takahashi and Yoshihiro Togashi do. :'(
Only the original characters and the plot are mine.

Prologue
~o~o~o~o~
"Shikon no Tama, I wish you would disappear from this world."
Kagome heaved a great sigh of relief as she was set back down on the dirt ground of the Sengoku Jidai, thankful that the final battle was officially over. Naraku was gone, the Shikon no Tama was banished from this world, and the inu-tachi was celebrating.
Miroku removed the prayer beads from his hand, checking one last time just to make sure, and a wide smile spread across his face as he saw that he was plagued with the kazaana no more. "Naraku is dead," he announced into the silent clearing that was holding its breath in anticipation.
"Finally," Sango sighed, wiping her brow and sending an exhausted smile at her fiance.
"We did it! We did it!" Shippou rejoiced, bounding into his adopted mother's arms with glee.
Kagome was about to laugh at his antics and join in, before a shocking scene scrolled across her vision, lasting only a moment, but causing a lifetime's worth of damage. She would have flung the child away from herself, but luckily for him she kept enough state of mind to simply relinquish her hold on him, dropping him onto the soft dirt.
"Okaa-san?" the kitsune asked quietly, placing a small hand on her leg in worry.
Again, the scene flashed before her eyes. Blood, blood everywhere, soaking soft fur, bright green eyes slowly losing their shine. Kagome stumbled backwards, shocked. By this time, everyone in the clearing had realized that there was something wrong.
"Kagome?" Inuyasha asked, reaching out to touch her arm.
Again, a flash of another place, this time different. Screams of people with unknown identities; hundreds of bare feet scrambling in the same direction, crushing beneath them a broken figure shrouded in red; long, silver hair matted with crimson liquid, covering a deathly pale face.
Kagome jerked away from his hesitant touch, coming back to the present. "Don't touch me," she said quietly, uncertain herself of what was happening.
Inuyasha reached out for her again, thinking she had become delusional after such a stressful battle. "Kago-"
"Don't touch me!" she cut him off, more conviction in her voice this time. Inuyasha stopped, not so much because of the urgency of her tone, but more because of the fear starkly portrayed in her eyes, wildly glancing between himself and the other occupants of the clearing before coming back to stare at her own limbs as though they were an alien entity.
"Kagome, what's the matter?" Sango asked worriedly, taking a step towards her friend but not reaching out as Inuyasha had. She'd already seen that that method would get them no where.
"I-I don't know," Kagome admitted, staring into the eyes of the woman who was more a sister than a friend to her. "I just-Blood. Lots and lots of blood. And people screaming, and running, and..." She trailed off, unable to bring herself to describe any more. Somewhere in her jumbled speech, her hands had found her head, positioning themselves in front of her eyes as though to block out the outside world, though the visions were in her head, she knew.
"You saw this when they touched you?" Miroku asked, scratching his chin in thought as he stared at the distraught woman. She nodded softly. "Must be some sort of vision," he concluded after a moment, nodding to himself as the others turned to look at him.
"Vision? Like a premonition?" Sango asked, looking worriedly at Kagome, who was still shielding her face.
Miroku nodded. "I can't think of what else it may be. She says she saw blood, and though none of us are without injuries, I don't think these wounds could be described as 'lots and lots of blood.' Also, there are no people running and screaming here within our sight, so it must be something that only she can see, which leads me to believe that this is a premonition."
"A premonition of what?" Shippou asked, tilting his head in confusion as he looked to Miroku to solve to puzzle.
"Death," Kagome answered before anyone else could, and all eyes were suddenly on her again. She took a deep breath and brought her face from her hands, staring straight into Inuyasha's eyes forebodingly. "I saw how they're going to die."

So, anyway, this is my new story. ^^ This is just the prologue, but if anyone's interested I'll post the next chapter. I would like at least a couple reviews first, though. -.- And before you read any further, I want to warn everyone that I don't really have any set structure for the plot of this story, though I do plan for it to be KagomexYusuke. So this'll be all over the place. ^^
Also, I don't have the patience to look back at everything I used, but if anyone has any questions as to what the Japanese terms used in this story are, just send me a review and I'll get right back to you on that. ^^
Final note, this is un-beta'd and I plan to keep it that way, but if anyone has any legitimate complaints about my spelling or grammar in the story, please just tell me and I'll fix it right up. ^^ Thanks and enjoy!
