Summary: The story begins after they have defeated Naruku. But before they can reach the scared jewel a fast running person- like- body takes the jewel than disappears. Kagome has a deep dark secret that no one knows about unless you were there it was during the time…

Chapter 1

Naraku laid there lifeless, not breathing, covered in his own blood and dirt that had kicked up from the ground where he fell. The group of warriors that fought against the veil monster with all their strength had finally defeated him.

Miroku, was overjoyed to no longer have the wind tunnel and the dark cloud of his impending death that came with it on his mind, his life was saved. He could finally have his life with Sango, who was drapes in his arms, both looked like they were ready to past out from exhaustion due to the intense battle they just indore. Their arms and legs had lots of cuts and bruises marring their delicate human skin. Sango was crying because although Naraku was finally gone from their world, Kohaku wasn't able to be saved from his clutches; Naraku killed him while in the midst of the battle hoping to distract the group for him to make an escape.

Inuyasha was glad that Kikyou could finally rest in peace after fifty years of torment, anguish, and suffering. Her soul could rest in peace filled with happiness of her revenge, and with the man that ended her life and the life she would have had with Inuyasha dead, he would no longer be able to torment anyone else.

Kouga was happy that his members of the wolf demon tribe were avenged, but he was a little pissed that Inuyasha took the final blow to Naraku, making him dead as a deer getting hit by an eighteen-wheeler on the interstate.

Kagome was standing on the edge of the battle scarred field, she didn't have a cut on her since she wasn't allowed to fight, both Kouga and Inuyasha had to forbid to let her even raise a hand in fear that she may break a nail while notching an arrow to her bow; they treated her like a china doll and allow it was rather flattering at times, right now when she really didn't want to feel like a burden... this only made it worse. Something also wasn't sitting right with her, she had a bad feeling about something but she didn't know what it was, so for the time being she chose to ignore it. She had been holding Shippo, who was tired from using his fox magic so much to burn Naruku, and walked down to the well and to the spot of the scared jewel wishing to make sure the well was alright and didn't sustain any damage from the fight. She didn't miss the feel of someone staring at her back and could only guess the person had a pair of golden eyes. Just as she reached the lip of the well looked to her right and saw someone she knows she shouldn't see.

Kagome was extremely nervous after she saw the body. 'So this isn't good, I thought he was dead, so the bastard is still alive after all these years!' She jumped back, which caught the attention of the two canine demons a short distance away. The agitated aura coming from her body put everyone on alert and the male rivals for her heart to come to her side.

"Kagome what's wrong?" Kouga was the first to reach her side, much to Inuyasha's displeasure. Just then the person she saw run into the clearing with lighting fast speed and took the jewel to the gang's displeasure.

She was so distracted by the stranger in the field she hadn't noticed the wolf's approach. "It... it's nothing! I was just wondering how long it would take to get the jewel back this time." Everyone was too exhausted to worry about the jewel at the moment they just wanted to rest.

"Oh, okay," Kouga rolled his eyes skyward not believing a word she said, but since he practically worshipped the ground she walked on and never wanted to get in a fight with her like Inuyasha always seemed to do, he wasn't going to question her about it.

"Keh, we'll figure that out later, let's just get back to Keade's hut... and see what's left of the village," Inuyasha crossed his arms over his chest, angry that his rival was practically hanging all over Kagome, but he wasn't going to bring it up and show that he was jealous... that would only give Kouga an excuse to tease him about it later.

Sensing him bad mood approaching and not wanting to be the one to feel his wrath, Kagome and the others quickly followed after the red clad hero as he started heading in the direction of the village they frequented to rest at, and the elderly priestess that lived there. The others were so excited about the outcome of the battle and the stories they could tell to their grandmother like figure, and Sango would have time to truly grieve over the lost of her brother properly, that no one noticed Kagome was walking in the back of the group biting her nails in worry over what to do about this new situation; they had just defeated their greatest enemy and now it seemed they were going to have to deal with another one, that was emncely powerful then the last, unless she did something about it.

'Damn what am I going to do? How will the others act around me? Inuyasha, Sango, Mirkou, Shippo, and Kouga... they'll reject me when they find out what I really am. I'm sorry, but I made up my mind I have to leave to protect you.' Kagome kept walking not really paying attention to where she was so she didn't notice that they had made it to the village, and walked right into Kouga. "Hey...w-why did we stop?"

A wolfish grin came to Kouga's face showing a fang over his bottom lip, he couldn't help but think she was to adorable so lost in thought, "We're here silly."

"Oh... right," Kagome looked ahead, relieved to see that the village didn't seem to be in too much distress over the battle that occurred a mere half a mile away, she spotted Inuyasha heading for Keade's hut and a sad smile came to her face. 'I'll stay until after dinner and then when everyone else is asleep is when I'll leave... I just hope they will understand what I'm doing is for everyone.'

Author Note: They were too tired to even think about the scarced jewel well then that must have been a hell of the battle. I wonder who was the man that took the scared jewel and why did Kagome now who he was? Is Kagome going to be able to leave without someone noticing? Find out next time on Kagome's past.

Review please!
