Okay so I've decided since this is my most treasured story, I'm going to rewrite it with the experience I've gained from the last two years, there will be add on to the original story, like the little intro at the beginning of this chapter for instance wasn't there before, and this version will be some what more dark, but I will not be changing Nikoku at all, she is one of the best characters I've ever come up with, so before I go all rambling I'll get the story started.

Not All the Past Is Dead

Chapter one

The secrets of a cave

'CRASH' 'FISSSSS' "GET BACK HERE YOU INSUFERABLE WOMAN!" Huff Huff, I must find a way to stop it, but how? Wait, yes that's it! But at this rate that will kill me...it must be done, THAT CREATURE CANNOT LIVE! "Ahhhh there you are, now what are you going to do" "I must do what has to be done" The woman pulled out her sword and aimed the tip and the creatures grotesque head.

"STORM OF THE ELEMENTS" as she yelled the last of the words a blast of white hot light shot from her sword. "AHHHHHHHHHHH" "RETURN TO THE RELM YOU BELONG!" suddenly a dagger shot from the monster and pinned the girl to a wall. "What..?" "The dagger of the millennium it will ensure you stay here, for a thousand years, only a M-miko can pull it out hehe, we will meet again" suddenly the beast dissolved into nothing.

"Hehe I beat him, now to...to eh, wh-what's happening?" 'My strength, it's leaving, so this is what it meant...' the woman's eye closed the last thing she would see for a thousand years, a cascading forest.

"INUYASHA LOOK OUT!" Kagome yelled as she fired another arrow at the thing, yes that's exactly what it was, a thing, a big blob of moving guck. "Sango what exactly is it!" she yelled to her friend, who at the moment was chopping off another one of its slim covered limb. "It's a swamp demon!" she yelled back.

Well that would explain a lot of things. "OH NO LOOK OUT!" as Miroku yelled out that last reply the thing, oh forgive me the swamp demon shot out an orange miasma, Kagome quickly darted into the forest, hoping that she could escape before the orange smog hit her.

"Geeez, that thing was big, huh? Guys?" As Kagome looked at her surroundings, she didn't recognize any thing, and on top of that she couldn't sense her friends, anywhere. "Oh well this sure is swell" Kagome mumbled a few more incoherent things as she got up to go search for her friends.

Three Hours later

"HOW FAR COULD I HAVE RAN!" Kagome screamed in frustration, it seemed in the last three hours all she did was walk around in circles, which she did do by the way. Kagome turned around and kicked a tree in her frustration, then slumped down on the rock right next to her.

'What am I going to do?' as she thought of a way to find her friends she totally ignored the signals she was getting of a demon approaching her. "SSSSSlllluuuurrrp, Hello there pretty thing" Kagome's back stiffened as the gruff voice spoke. "Eh?" she slowly turned her head only to come face to face with none other than an extremely hungry looking boar demon.

"Listen, I'll make a deal with you pretty thing, I'll kill you before I eat you only if you don't run" the demon said with a disordered smirk, Kagome suddenly realized what this was and what he wanted to do. "EEEEEEK!" Kagome took off running. "Oh so you wanna be feisty, good it tastes better when you run" He said while licking his lips.

'WHY DOES THIS ALLWAYS HAPPEN TO ME?' Kagome ran and ran and ran, until finally she was about to collapse, and then she quickly dove into a cave. 'Please don't fine me' she pleaded, as she got deeper into the cave she noticed some thing strange on the back wall of the cave.

Well for starters there wasn't any moss growing in just that area, none at all, second a sword was pined in the ground right in front of the wall, and third there was a woman pined to the wall. "What the..?" Kagome just gapped at the beautiful woman in front of her.

The woman had white skin it was paler than ever Sesshomaru's, her fingers were long, like those of a piano player, she had long flowing red hair, her face was soft, with a strong jaw and slightly red lips, she had demons markings Kagome noted, two jagged silver stripes on her cheeks, and a Silver four point star on her forehead. She wore the clothes of royalty fine silks, but they were ancient, strangely though this woman wore armored as well, the amore covered her mid but stopped under her breasts then two strips of leather attached to the bottom came up and attached to pieces of metal, on the metal there was blue spicks, from a demon of some sort.

"Wow what an incredible woman" Kagome muttered, then her eyes fell on the dagger coming from her chest. "What a tragic way to die" Kagome said to herself. 'Who said anything about being dead?' a voice rang out through the cave.

"Who said that?" Kagome yelled, there was no reply. "Huh, I must be going insane" Kagome then turned around only to find that the boar had found her. "Now pretty, it's dinner time" he took a step forward, Kagome ran to the back of the cave, right into the woman.

'What am I going to do?' 'I can help' 'Who said that?' 'I did' '...and you are?' 'I'm the one your leaning on' Kagomes eyes widened. 'How can you help?' 'Pull this dagger out of my chest' '...okay' Kagome grasped the weapon and pulled; a white light shot out and blinded Kagome and the boar.

"AHAHAHAHA!" Kagome suddenly found her self looking up at the woman. "Well I guess my intuition was correct, you are a miko" her golden red eyes shone with some thing Kagome didn't know, freedom? Life? Who knows.

"W-what are you?" questioned the boar, she turned and glared at the boar. "Oh yes you" The woman then gave the demon one good look and it died, no explosions nothing, just dropped dead. "What did you do!" asked/yelled Kagome. "Purified it from the inside, why? You should know how to do that" Kagome then gave her look.

"YOU DON'T?" yelled the woman, Kagome nodded. "Well, what ever, here" the woman offered Kagome her hand, she grabbed it and the woman helped her up. "Allow me to introduce myself, I am The Elemental Demoness Nikoku" the woman or Nikoku gave a formal bow.

"Uh, I'm Kagome, nice to meet you" Kagome replied, a little shaken by this woman's formalness. "Is there any thing else I can help you with?" Nikoku asked, Kagome then nodded. "Could you help me find my friends?" Kagome asked hopefully, Nikoku smiled. "Sure" Nikoku then walked over to the rusting sword picked it up and gave it one good flick, all the rust and guck on it went flying off.

"Let's go" as they walked Nikoku simply jumped over the body, but Kagome walked around it. When they were finally out Nikoku's eye and her entire being lit up. "The sun!" She shouted and spun in circles. "Well we better get going" Nikoku and Kagome started walking towards the forest.

an hour later

"Hold on" Nikoku stopped Kagome from going any further. "What?" asked Kagome, Nikoku turned and looked at her. "Stay here" she mumbled, then walked off.

Kagome waited a moment, and then suddenly she heard yells and an explosion. Kagome ran over to the clearing only to find boar corpses, at least ten of them, all burning. "W-WHAT DID YOU DO?" yelled Kagome, Nikoku turned and looked at her, there was some thing in her arms, it was a child!

"Wha?" Nikoku looked down, and then sighed. "I wasn't here in time to save him" Nikoku kissed the child's forehead and the body disintegrated and flew away. "What was that" Nikoku turned and gave Kagome a said smile, "I guess you could say a guarantied entrance into heaven" Nikoku replied.

"Who are you and what have you done?" a cold inhuman voice said from behind them.

Okay so I'm done redoing the first chapter!

YAY!
