Miroku stared at his beloved and once lively Shiori, he remembered her warm smile and bright shiny purple eyes. Her eyes were now closed and unmoving, her smile was now a small lifeless frown, her body appeared as if she were dead. He remembered a book Kagome had once given Shippo, 'Tale of Snow White.' He looked at his Mate she wore white and laid upon a soft bed of blue she truly was his own personal Snow White. Sadly it wouldn't be as easy as waking her with a kiss to break this spell, he felt his heart clench at the sight of her. He stared at her feeling as if he were looking at her corpse and that he had lost her, but not only would he lose her… but their child. It felt as if his whole world was crashing down lately.

He finally had everything he always wanted, a beautiful and loving wife and Mate, money, a purpose, and a child on the way. But just as he was enjoying life and feeling peace and happiness a cruel reality had to wake him up from this pleasant dream, that cruel reality being Naraku. He may curse his child with this thought but it was true 'I rather my child be born with the wind tunnel than seeing Shiori in this state.' Even if the child had the curse of the wind tunnel he or she would at least be alive and running around, laughing and giggling until he or she was thirteen. Then if the child were a boy then the hole in his hand would appear and he would have his own wind tunnel. Shiori would be worrying about their child having the curse. He reminded himself it would still be better they would both at least be moving and not frozen like time had stopped or as if they were in an eternal sleep.

He clenched his fist and his eyes flashed a scarlet red that rivaled that of blood, his eyes started to shake as his inner pain escaped through a tear that raced down his cheek. Miroku felt warmth on his lips while the rest of his body felt cold and numb, licking his lips he noticed the warmth was from blood. He had bit his lip when the tear left his eyes, taking a breath he closed his eyes trying to calm his rage and sadness that was now causing him physical pain as well as mental and emotional. He looked down at his feet his hand flew to rub his eyes after taking in another long breath he opened his eyes and shot Inuyasha with stone cold glare with his cyan blue orbs.

"Guard her."

Inuyasha stared in not only shock but fear as well, in all the years that he had known the old perverted monk he had never seen his eyes so full of raw hate. It was unsettling and actually put fear in the Central Lord that alone was something that caused him alarm "Miroku she needs you-."

Before letting his old friend and ally finish what he had wished to say Miroku stare became even colder to the point where he seemed numb to everything, his voice held no emotion in it as he spoke "No, she doesn't." Without another word Inuyasha watched as his friend leave the room that felt like a cold grave. Looking over at Shiori the silver haired demon felt his heart tighten a bit, he remembered when he had first met her. She was so small and helpless, but she stood up to her grandfather and saved her village. She was still small and helpless it seemed she was so timid when he saw her with Miroku at the ball, but this small girl was tied to Miroku and seeing what she was doing to his friend. Inuyasha felt sadness as he remembered Kikyo and when she pinned him to a tree. He remembered being under the enchantment of the arrow, it had felt as if he were living his life like normal. Pain entered his heart under the enchantment he had lived in a dream, a dream where he became human and grew old with Kikyo at his side. They were happy with children, grandchildren and living a simple life in the village. But then he woke to see Kagome in front of him being and Mistress Centipede attacking her.

'Shiori, probably doesn't even know she is trapped in Naraku's enchantment. I hope she isn't suffering from nightmares. I hope she is happy in a wonderful dream.'

Kagome purple eyes stared at the red haired woman before her. The woman lifted up her hair and tied the old yellow ribbon around her head keeping her bangs on her forehead as she smiled at Kagome. Kagome's eyes went wide seeing the woman before her change. Her ruby colored hair in a few short seconds changed to a dark brown and her emerald eyes leaked and changed to a beautiful brown. The woman's cinnamon brown eyes watered and her lips even trembled slightly, the wolf demoness closed the gap between them as she embraced the fox in her arms "Yuka!" The woman smiled tears spilling from the corners of eyes as felt her friend envelope her in a hug, Yuka spoke with a cracking voice "Kagome."

Yuka was the first to pull away she smiled and wiped away her tears from her dirt covered face with her hand, a hand that Kagome noticed was covered in cuts and bruises. A frown appeared on Kagome's face "Your hurt." The now human looking girl looked down at her hand and smiled hiding it behind her back "No, I'm fine. So Kagome what are you doing here?" Kagome felt a small smile tug at her lips, Yuka had always been one to try and break up tension in their friend group throughout their school years. Kagome smiled and pointed to Koga and smiled even more "I'm here with my Mate. We are stocking up on things we need."

"Well I would love to help, and sorry for ealier."

Kagome smiled and shook her head "It's okay no harm no foul."

Koga looked at Yuka and growled loudly as he spoke "It is a foul, you attacked my Mate!" Kagome turned and glared at him and gave him a warning look that he knew all too well, he bit his tongue as he stared at Yuka. After putting her Mate back in place Kagome turns her attention back to her old friend who spoke timidly "What are you doing here? Last I heard you disappeared." Kagome felt guilt weigh on her heart as she decided to reveal the truth to her friend "Well you know those times I was sick in school?" After a curt nod from her friend she went on with her explanation "Well… I found out the well at my family's shrine can take me five hundred years in the past. So every time I was sick me and my friends in that era were fighting Naraku. About five years ago I changed into a demon and I just never came back, so I've been there leading the wolf tribes with my Mate." Upon hearing this Yuka's eyes widened to an the size of saucers "So that whole time you were fighting Naraku?!"

Kagome nodded and seemed to forget the world around her as she spoke with her long forgotten friend "Yea, we thought we had killed him. But as you can see we didn't. I'm so sorry it's my fault the world is like this now." Yuka jumped and hugged her friend burying her face into her friend's neck as she cried "Kagome I'm sorry." Kagome giggled nervously and patted her friend's back in a comforting manner "For what? I'm to blame." Koga and K.O started to walk away understanding that she and her friend were having a important moment and it was sort of awkward just being there. Yuka shook her head and again distanced herself from her friend about an arm's length before looking into Kagome's tear filled eyes "Kagome I'm sorry that we were pressuring you with stupid stuff like good grades, gossip and Hojo. I'm so sorry and you're not to blame about all of this. He is evil and horrible-"

"Yuka it's fine I chose to fight to try and save you and this world. Hell I'm still fighting to save it, so let's not worry about the past. Just the present, anyways what happened to Ayumi, Eri and Hojo?"

A smile appeared on Yuka's lips as she felt both happiness and pain at the mention of those three names. Yuka felt things she rather not and memories she rather forget, but she smiled anyways she owed Kagome this information. Afterall Kagome had just admitted that she was fighting Naraku to protect her, their friends and even the world. Hearing that Yuka found a new respect for her friend and wiped a tear that had sneaked down her cheek. The fox took off her yellow ribbon and tucked back in a pocket where it would be safe then took a breath as she swallowed the lump in her throat that had formed so she could speak "Ayumi and Hojo dated for a while. Then they got married not long into the war. He actually turned out to be a descent of a very powerful horse demon, who once owned a herbal farm. Turns out that's why his family had so many health secrets and even own a herbal and natural health store."

Kagome's mind went to Jinenji she looked at her friend and smiled "I believe I knew that horse demon Jinenji?" Yuka smiled and nodded quickly confirming her friend's guess "Yes, Jinenji had a cousin named Akitoki as well. Did you know him?" A soft laugh and a nod told Yuka that she did, Yuka continued "Well he became a doctor in the war and is helping everyone he can, he is such a kind soul after all." The fox smiled and spoke again she was confirming everything that Kags had said earlier, except it seemed Kags left a few things out. Like that Hojo was a descent of Jeninji, Yuka continued briefing Kagome "Ayumi wasn't afraid and he joined the war. Ayumi is a nurse and helps on the front lines, sadly her and Hojo have been stationed apart and haven't seen each other for at least six months. Also when the one of the first attacks were on our high school, I remember we were just sitting in class like normal and then we all saw a teacher outside screaming "Bomb." We all jumped under our desks and after the bomb hit our school there were demons in black coming in checking the survivors.

The inspectors somehow knew about our charms and took off my ribbon and Hojo's bracelet they did this to all of the students who were alive, they then demanded we join them and kill humans and half demons. The teacher tried to run and was shot and that when everyone else made a run for it, Hojo grabbed Ayumi while I picked up Eri's body she had died in the attack. We ran away to Hojo's family's store and we gave Eri a proper burial, we went to check on my family to try and get them to safety too. But they had all been killed."

Kagome had tears rolling down her eyes as her knees collapsed under her as images flashed through her mind of them in school and having fun. Eri's smiling face entered her mind and Kagome cried harder then looked up when she felt a hand on her shoulder, she looked up to see her friend looking down at her "It's for the best, Eri was so happy and kind. She wouldn't have been able to handle a ugly and suffering world. She is in the most beautiful place, Heaven." Kagome eyes blurred with tears her vision blurred to a point where she didn't see anything except her friend Eri. The memory of the last time she had been with Eri she had been at the mall they said their goodbyes and she remembered how Eri stood there smiling and waving "We'll have to do this again." To think that goodbye was forever made it hurt that much more. She had often thought of Eri as a older sister by how she lectured and worried over her, and turned to Yuka. Her heart went to her friend in front 'I feel so much pain and yet I wasn't even there, Yuka had to watch Eri die and then carry her body.' Kagome took a breath and wiped her tears away and as she did Koga came back with a smile on his face and a book in his hand

"Kagome, I found the book about Naraku it's got lots of stuff and it looks hand written." Yuka ran towards him and glared at him with a powerful gaze that demanded his compliance. "Give it." Hearing her command he shook his head and held it higher so it was out of her reach "We need it." Yuka having seemingly forgotten about Kagome shook her head and reached for it "No. It's mine!" Kagome looked at the situation before her and slowly walked up to her friend and her Mate she stood beside them hoping to gain their attention as she timidly asked "Yuka-?"

Yuka turned her head to look at her friend with tears brimming her eyes "I need it." Kagome saw fear in her friend's eyes and wondered what was so important about this book, especially if it was here in a destroyed library. Before Kagome could ask anymore Yuka was shaking as tears fell once again from her eyes as she spoke softly "I wrote it."

"What?" Her friend softly asked unable to hear Yuka's quiet confession. Seeing she had to explain further Yuka looked at Kagome and spoke in a firm and confident voice "I wrote it. This book has caused lots of bloodshed. Many children I care for who are older think they are helping by being spies and many of those children sadly never make it back, some come back and then go in search for more information only to be caught and killed. I have written all the information they have risked and given their lives for and wrote it in that book. I have split up the material in this book and coded it in four other books that are spreaded throughout our military. This book is invaluable. If the other's are destroyed or stolen I am the only one who has the original."

At that moment Rin came walking back with her Mate he walked emotionlessly at her side his eyes narrowed on the new comer K.O had told them both about her and how she was Kagome's friend. But she was new and new meant dangerous, Sesshomaru glared and as he stood tall. Rin smiled and spoke in a happy chime "Kagome who is the fox?" Yuka's head went in the direction of two Lord and Lady of the West, upon seeing the Lord of the West her eyes went large as she blushed. Her emerald eyes seemed to glitter with hope and lust, she chewed on her lip and as felt herself wiggle under his strong golden gaze. Rin put her hands on her hips and took in a deep breath before she yelled "Stop making googly eyes at him?!" Yuka put her hands on her hips and glared back at the petite woman who was scolding her "I'm free to do as I please."

"NO YOU DON'T! He is MY MATE!" Sesshomaru agreed to this with a 'Hn,' Yuka felt her shoulders slump as she stared at the girl who had been yelling at her. She hadn't paid much attention to her even when she looked at her she had been looking at the hot demon from the corner of her emerald eyes, but now that she looked at the young woman. She didn't look any older than sixteen and yet she was Mated to this sexy,hot,godly looking demon, not only that but she had strapped to her... 'PUPS!?' Rin giggled when she saw the woman's shock look at the surprise of seeing Rin with pups, she smiled and looked down at her pups. They were sleepy and were nuzzling to her chest as they slept peacefully despite all the noise "These are our children. Akari and Eiichi, they will one day take over the West as Lord and Lady."

Yuka felt her blood drain from her body when took the finer details of their appearances rather than just paying attention to their attractiveness and their age. The purple crescent moons reminded her of a flag she had seen a while ago, though the flag also had three circles behind it one in red, one in blue and another in green. Then it clicked she gasped as she pointed to Sesshomaru with a trembling finger "Y-You're the Heartless, Killing Perfection, Merciless, Lord of the West Lord Sesshomaru!" Only receiving a stone cold glare did she realize that she was right, she looked at the woman beside the man who blinked looking surprised as well.

"And you are the Beautiful, Revengeful, Quick Killing, Cold Hearted and yet Passionate and Unforgiving, Innocent yet Elegant Killing Lady of the West Lady Rin!"

Rin looked at her Mate and smiled "I didn't know we were so famous, but I don't I've killed that much." He looked down at his Mate and looked at Sessh who belonged to his world, he raised a brow silently questioning him. Sessh stood behind Yuka without her seeming to even know he was there "My Rin did fight upon the front lines both by my side and leading ranks of her own into battle, some had questioned if someone as kind and small as her was suitable for battle. They found out never to question that again, she earned herself a reputation for being my equal or for being even scarier than I since she had that cute and innocent look down yet she was just as deadly as me. She did this all for a while before she began pregnant."

Yuka turned seeing another Sesshomaru and felt as if she was going to have a headache if she thought about it too much. Sesshomaru agreed with his Mate and looked at the woman who had identified him and his Mate by their future reputations, he paid her little attention before looking at Kagome "It would be best to leave if we have what we need." Koga looked at his Mate fully knowing she wouldn't want to go so quickly just after finding her friend, but he also knew that she knew this was no longer her home or the world she lived in she had given all that up long ago. "Kagome." Kags felt her heart go to her past self and smiled "Kagome, you know what your duty is right?" The wolf demoness looked at her older self and felt anger that her older self doubted her "Yes." Kagome looked at Yuka with a smiled and then turned around to her allies "We must return. We also must make sure this world never exists," looking back over her shoulder to Yuka "I will protect those dear to me."

With that Kagome looked at her future self "You, K.O and Sessh make sure she is safe." Kags smiled and put her arm around Yuka's neck "Hey she's my friend too not just yours! Of course I'll keep her safe!" K.O gave Koga a thumbs up only to receiving a nod goodbye, and Sessh gave his young Mate and Sesshomaru a soft smile which Rin returned for the both of them. Kagome then pushed of the ground and ran at record breaking time, noticing she had done this Koga ran after her knowing the only place she would be going is to the well. Rin was not far behind wishing to test her legs she too was off in a flash, the Lord of the West was the last to leave. Sesshomaru spoke one word before he pushed off the ground and flew at an alarming speed "Farewell." Sessh, Kags and K.O stood there in silent hope that the world they lived in and what they had become in this world would never exist and that all the horrors that they had known never happened.
