Prologue

Flashback

The pink jewel that had brought many to face hardships and even death now rested innocently around Kagome's neck. She had been looking down at its dormant form for a while, not paying attention to any of her surroundings as she was left open for attack. So when she heard rustling from within the area in front of her, she was slightly surprised to see the sharp tip of a katana pointed directly between her eyes.

"Miko. Your guard was down again. I could've easily embedded my sword through your head.."

Kagome looked at the holder of the weapon in front of her and frowned a bit. "Hiei, if you wanted to kill me you would have already done it." His crimson red eyes observed her as she watched him, waiting for his next move. Instead of attacking her, which started off their sparring sessions usually, he returned his weapon to its sheath.

"Hn."

His arms snaked around her waist quickly and before she could even say anything, they were up hidden in the tree. They sat in silence and not a minute later another demon appeared. This demon seemed to scan the area searching for them. When it couldn't sense them, he skittered off back into the forest. Kagome watched as Hiei looked down at her with a pointed glare. She frowned again, looking down at the jewel once more. "It's getting worse. I feel like it's already beginning."

She felt his arm tighten a bit around her waist as one of his hands touched her stomach gently. She placed her hand on top of his lovingly and leaned back against him.

"I will find you. Wherever you are I will find you."

Hiei spoke as he nestled his cheek against the top of her head. Kagome's eyes filled up with tears as her hand tightened around his. She had to have faith and believe in him and Midoriko. Things would get better, she had to believe that it would.

A few weeks after their encounter, Kagome stood in front of Lord Sesshomaru's castle, Tessaiga in her hand. The fire rat robe was draped around her into a dress protectively as the rest of her body that was exposed were covered in cuts, bruises and dried up blood. Her form crumpled before him from exhaustion and the shock of recent events. Before her world went completely dark, she felt Sesshomaru catch her while his golden gaze looked down at her in worry.

"My half-brother would not want you to be stressed in your condition." spoke Sesshomaru, his arms crossed as he stood by her bedside.

She had woken up hours after she had blacked out inside her designated room in the castle. Her body felt weak as she sat up when he entered into his room. "Inuyasha….." Her voice cracked as she tried to focus on anything else but the attack. "...I can't wait any longer onii-sama." Tears began to roll down her cheeks as grabbed a hold of the jewel around her neck. "I can't let this go on. Innocent lives are being taken away, humans and demons."

Sesshomaru closed his eyes and sighed deeply. Humans and demons were no longer able to survive together anymore. A dawn of a new era was quickly approaching but it was coming at the cost of this young woman's life. He had watched her mourn the loss of her human companions as she remained unchanged by time.

"Lord Sesshomaru! Lord Sesshomaru! There's been an attack on the border of your lands m'lord!" exclaimed Jaken as he came rushing inside the room in a state of panic.

Kagome looked up at Sesshomaru as she grabbed his hand. He looked down at her and placed a hand on top of her head as he gave a nod before leaving the room. She was alone now to her thoughts, alone to get to realize the heavy burden and ultimate sacrifice she was going to make.

"Little one.. Momma's going to have to go through some stressful things." Kagome said calmly, as she rubbed her small baby bump. "Please...Please bear with me."

The day had finally come. Kagome sat on the old well that had laid dormant for years. Her powers were weakened due to her current state but she had managed to place up a protective barrier around the area. Hiei, who stood in front of her, expression was emotionless. She knew he was deflecting as he would be separated from her for decades while it would only be like a day for her.

"Hiei I…" Kagome began to say as to stopped as she touched her growing baby bump. "...I'm scared."

They had talked about this multiple times. But it did not make it any easier. Hiei walked up to her and pulled her towards his chest, holding her like she would never see him again. She could only wrap her arms around him, desperately wishing it didn't have to be this way.

He pulled away from her briefly and looked down at her. His eyes were filled with tears that rolled down his cheeks. As they fell they instantly formed into two perfectly round jewels. She could only gasp in shock at seeing Hiei produce tears as it was such a rare commodity to see. But what shocked her more was the two jewels that rested in his hands.

"Give our unborn child one. The other is for your sake." He spoke as he placed the jewels in her hand.

In Kagome's eyes they were beautiful. A complete extension of Hiei himself as the jewel was black but from in the middle spreading outwards seemed to be a reddish orange color, like a flame burning from within it.

She looked up at him once more as he placed his hand against her cheek, caressing the skin with his thumb. Leaning down, he captured her lips in a fiery kiss, one that had consumed her for one last time.

"I love you.." Hiei whispered, as he pulled away from her once more, stepping back to give her space.

"I love you too..Hiei."

Tears blurred her vision as she backed away from him. Closing her eyes, she grabbed a hold of the Shikon no Tama and called upon the souls that were trapped within it. Immediately she was engulfed in darkness, a familiar face standing before her looking down at her solemnly.

"You have done well young protector. Your heart's wish for the world shall be granted."

Kagome's focus tuned in to Midoriko who now stood tall before her. She could only bow her head in respect to her before speaking to the elder priestess.

"Will the jewel disappear?" She asked curiously, her body feeling heavy and tired.

"Fate would be kind if it was as simple as that." Midoriko responded, smiling sadly at the girl before her.

Before Kagome could ask her what she meant, she felt her body being physically ripped from the darkness and from where she stood by the well.

"Kagome!"

Kagome's eyes opened as she heard Hiei shout out her name in such agony. His hand was outstretched towards her as her body was being lifted above the ground. She stretched out her hand, reaching for his for one final touch.

"Find me... Hiei!" She shouted desperately, as their hands grazed each other's before she was surrounded by nothingness once more.
