Sobs wracked the young woman's body as the rain pelted her, soaking her to the bone; not that she cared. Small rivers of red flowed from open wounds as she remained in her kneeling position on the battle field, her sobs ebbing away slowly, leaving her throat dry and cracked. "Please, Inuyasha, please stop." She begged quietly. Red eyes turned on her, fangs bared ears twitched before the demon snarled at her before turning and bolting into forest, leaving her surrounded by blood, bodies, and gore.
'It's all gone, the well, our friends. I just want to find some peace.' She thought sadly, wiping her nose with her sleeve. "I hear your plea, and I'm here to help you." A soft voice answered. "Who's there?" Kagome whispered glancing up from the ground. "You've had a very hard couple of years, I see your pain." The voice said softly. Pushing her hair from her eyes, Kagome turned and felt her eyes widen. "This isn't real; the only reason I can see you is trauma." She tried to rationalize. The blue clad fairy laughed softly, the sound ringing in her ears like tinkling bells.
"I'm the Blue Fairy, and your plea has pulled me here from my world to help you." She explained. "Your world?" Kagome asked softly. "Yes, I'm here to take you there as well, where you will be able to find your peace and everything that comes with it. But, I want to warn you, this will not be an easy road." The fairy said, her wings glittering through the rain drops. "I just want to stop feeling this pain, and I need to help Inuyasha." Kagome answered. "He's beyond your help, and as for stopping your pain, I can make you forget all that's happened; everyone you met, it'll be as if you never existed in this world." Blue responded.
"No more pain; is it selfish of me to want to leave everyone even though they won't remember me." Kagome questioned. "Of course not, if you're ready, your new home awaits." Blue said with a flick of her wand.

Gray eyes opened slowly as sunlight pierced the flimsy curtains on the cottages window. Rolling out of bed, Kagome moved around the cottage, getting herself ready for the day before gathering her basket and trekking to the woods. Frowning, she placed her hands on a bush and rubbed her thumb along a dried up leaf. 'I'll just have to walk a little further today, that's all.' She thought combing her fingers through her hair and away from her face. Rolling her eyes, Kagome reached her hand up and ripped the wanted poster for Snow White. "Poor girl." She grumbled ducking under a low branch.
Reaching the river, she stepped across the rocks jutting out of the water before crouching at the other side. Pulling a jar out of her basket, she filled it and began walking again. Walking a few more miles, Kagome smiled when she broke the tree line and found herself in a clearing full of herbs. 'Finally, now I can break Micah's fever.' She thought walking over to the Boneset plant. Pulling another jar out of her basket, she began filling each, making sure to label them before setting them back down carefully.
Straightening up, she covered the top with a piece of fabric and shifted the basket to a more comfortable position on her arm. "Excuse me, do you have anything to drink?" a woman asked behind her. "Yeah, here you go Snow White." Kagome responded turning while reaching into her basket. Snow froze as she reached for the jar, her eyes meeting the woman's in front of her. "Relax, I'm on your side." Kagome smiled. "Thanks—" Snow trailed off before taking a sip. "Kagome; and there's a river a few miles that way, it runs through the town." Kagome said pointing to the south east. "Do you know of anyone that will give me a place to stay for the night?" Snow asked sheepishly. "Ask for Archia at the Inn, he's on your side as well. Tell him I sent you and he won't charge you a thing." Kagome said with a smile. "You've been so helpful, if there's anything you ever need, please don't hesitate to ask." Snow said moving to hand the jar back.
Kagome shook her head and pushed it back, "keep it; with all of the running you've been forced into doing. Good luck." Kagome smiled. Snow White smiled back before the sound of running feet broke the women out of their conversation. "Go, if they come through here I'll hold them off as long as I can." Kagome urged. Snow White capped the jar and threw an appreciative look at Kagome before taking off through the woods.
Fixing her cloak more securely she walked a few steps when four men broke the tree line and walked up to her. The four men talked quietly, pointing and stealing glances at her before walking up to her. "You a doctor?" one asked. "No, I just do some dabbling in minor healing; cuts, infections, setting broken bones, some of the simpler things." Kagome answered slowly. "Well it's your lucky day, our captain is in need of someone to fix his infection and since no doctor will see him, I guess that task falls to you." The man with a red cap said. "I'm so sorry your captain is dealing with this but I have a little boy that needs me more." She explained beginning to walk forward. "You're going to the ship with Smee, I'll take it to your boy." The third pirate announced walking forward and gripping her upper arm.
Eyeing the men's weapons at their belts Kagome reached into her basket and pulled out the Boneset before handing it over. "Grind it up, and make sure it gets put in his tea for the whole of tomorrow. Just go straight through the woods until you get to a cottage, it's the one next to it on the right, and his name is Micah." She explained. The pirate took it and walked off, throwing a look over his shoulder.
Smee gripped her upper arm as the three remaining pirates began leading her in the direction of their captain. After walking in silence for a few hours, Kagome cleared her throat and glanced at 'Smee'. "So what happened to your captain?" she asked finally. "The Dark One cut off his hand." Smee answered. "The Dark One, you want me to try to undo what the Dark One did, are you insane?" Kagome hissed as she was pushed onto a dinghy. The pirates followed her on, ignoring her question as they rowed to the ship. "Come on, the captain is in here." Smee announced prodding her towards a door. Sighing, Kagome opened the door and stepped inside, walking through the small office looking room before pushing the door to the living quarters open.
"Oh my gosh." She gasped. No one told her how handsome he would be, even with his brow covered in sweat and his breathing labored. 'What have I just gotten myself into?' she thought biting her lip.
