Prologue

"Kagome! Are you going to go to the feudal era again?" Kagome's mom yelled from downstairs.

"Yes, mom!" Kagome yelled back. Kagome continued packing her backpack with necessities. It was a nice, warm, spring day outside and she didn't plan on wasting it. She had to be back by Monday so she was going to be sure to make the most out of the weekend. She finished her packing and went downstairs to say bye to her family. It had been three years since she met Inu Yasha so they had finally worked out a schedule. She would go to the Feudal Era every other weekend and on some breaks, and she'd go to school the rest of the time. She always told her friends she was working at a job that was out of town, but she wouldn't tell them where.

"Kagome, hurry up. I want to leave soon." Inu Yasha said impatiently.

"We have plenty of time. I want to go to the village and see how Kaede is doing." She said. Kaede had gotten sick a few months after Sango and Miroku had their son, Haruko. Sango was now pregnant with their second. Sango and Miroku, along with Kirara, lived in the demon slayer's village. When Naraku was defeated they had laid Kohaku to rest.

"While we're there we might as well check on the squirt." He said. "Squirt" being none other than Shippou. He decided to stay behind and help take care of Keade. In the two years that had passed, he had grown up quite a bit. He was now full grown and engaged to Souten, who had grown quite a bit since their first encounter.

"Okay. I think I'm ready. Oh! I was wondering. Inu Yasha? Have you heard anything about Kagura and your brother lately?"

"Tch. Why the fuck would I care?" He said hotly. Kagura and Kanna were turned human after the defeat of Naraku. Kagura then started following Sesshomaru around and eventually melted his cold exterior. Well, almost, anyway. He was still cold to everyone except Rin and Kagura.

"Do you know if Kouga's coming to visit?" She asked.

"No. He has three pups he has to take care of, remember?" Kouga had finally proposed to Ayame and the following summer had been blessed with three pups, Keiji, Akina, and Yokio. Kouga and Ayame took over after the elder died.

"Kagome! Don't forget your cousin's coming to visit on Monday!"

"I won't! Bye! See you Sunday night!" She yelled as they jumped into the well.

"Your cousin?" Inu Yasha asked.

"She's a little younger than I am. She's going to stay with us for a month, while her parents are on a business trip." She said as she climbed on his back. He jumped out and set her down. They began walking toward Kaede's village and were met by an orange fox demon.

"Kagome! Inu Yasha!" He yelled.

"Hey Shippou!" Kagome said when they reached him. "How are you?"

"I'm good. Kaede is getting a little better, but not much. Souten and I are mating later on this spring and Myoga came for a visit yesterday. He should still be around here somewhere."

"I think I found him." Inu Yasha said as he slapped his neck. "Hi Myoga." He said, opening his palm.

"Hello, Master Inu Yasha." He said falling down to the ground. He popped back up and jumped onto Kagome's shoulder. "So, how much more of the jewel do you need to collect?" He asked. Kagome held the necklace up and showed a mostly complete jewel.

"It looks like there are probably less than five more fragments." She told him. They chatted a little more on the way to the village.

Once they got there, Shippou took them to see Kaede. Kagome peeked in and saw her sleeping. "Let's not bother her right now. We'll come back through here on our way back." She said. Inu Yasha nodded. After saying their good-byes, they left in the direction of the nearest jewel shard.

It had been about two hours since they had left the village. Kagome was getting a little tired, and Inu Yasha could tell

"Kagome, why don't we stop for a bit? There's a stream just up ahead if you want some water." He told her. In the three years she had known him, Inu Yasha had always looked out for her. Especially during the fight against Naraku. They had barely won.

Flashback

"Kagome, watch out!" Inu Yasha screamed as he quickly picked her up and dodged the attack. "You okay?" She nodded.

"The jewel's in his throat." He nodded and positioned himself in front of Naraku.

"Kagome. Go hide." She followed his instructions and hid behind some rubble. Naraku saw the movement and attacked. "Kagome!" Inu Yasha screamed. The only thing he saw was Kagome's body lying still on the ground. He couldn't move. He couldn't breathe. He turned his attention to Naraku. "You bastard."He lifted his sword and unleashed his final attack. The Kongousouha. The tetsaiga shot out diamonds and one hit the jewel. The rest seared Naraku's body into shreds. Inu Yasha ran to Kagome's seemingly lifeless body. Miroku kept looking at his hand and Sango rushed to Kohaku. Kouga and Ayame had been hit pretty hard and were knocked out. Sesshomaru had been hurt badly and was being tended to by Rin.

Inu Yasha cradled Kagome. Shippou was by Kirara, who, having been hit by poison gas, was barely breathing. Inu Yasha traced a claw, gently, against her pale skin.

"Kagome." He said quietly; then hugged her tight. His ears perked up at hearing a faint sound. He leaned in closer as he found the sound emitting from Kagome's chest. It was her heartbeat. She was alive!

End Flashback

Kagome and Inu Yasha reached the stream and Kagome filled up their water bottles. She splashed water on her face and rested by the stream. Inu Yasha jumped up to a tree branch and waited until Kagome was ready. He had learned how to avoid being "sat." since he had met her. Over the years the jewel had gotten harder and harder to track because they had less and less to track down. While Inu Yasha was busy with his musings Kagome was busy with hers. But neither noticed the aura that surrounded them. Or the being watching them.

A castle in the Northern lands

"Hm." Said a deep voice.

"What is it, My Lord?" Asked a servant girl. She was wearing skimpy clothes which consisted of a top that barely covered her D-sized bust and a skirt that left almost nothing to the imagination. Her black hair flowed to her ankles and her coal black eyes stared intently at her master. She sat with his head on her lap and held a bowl of grapes that she fed him. He was looking at a crystal which showed a picture of a human girl and an Inu Hanyou.

"That girl looks strangely familiar…Oh well, maybe I've just seen someone that looked like her." He said. He was a handsome man, no doubt about that. He had long, strait, black hair and dark black eyes. His face was heart-shaped with a pointed chin and pale, snow white skin. His nose was sloped to a point and his lips, the shade of blood. His body was well-toned and muscular, with broad shoulders and strong arms. His legs were strong. His whole physique was the epitome of perfection.

"Hmpf." She snorted.

"Don't be that way, Aki. You know you interest me much more than some child." He said grinning again. She put was about to put a grape in his mouth, but he stopped her. He took the grape from her and threw it across the room. He took her bowl and set it beside her. He leaned over her and pushed her onto her back and began to kiss her.

"Akuma!" She screamed in surprise. Suddenly, another slave girl slammed the doors open.

"Master Akuma!" She screamed. This girl was a bit bigger than the other in size but, was just as beautiful. Her clothes left nothing to the imagination, as did the previous girl's.

"Oh, hello, Oni. Don't worry! I'll kiss you too if you like!" He smiled mischievously as she laid beside him.

Back with Inu Yasha and Kagome

After their rest by the stream, they had traveled about five more miles and then set up camp. That morning a demon had come after them, but it was still very weak and was defeated easily. They began walking a little further to the North. That afternoon Kagome looked up and saw a castle above the trees.

"Inu Yasha, look! It's a castle. Maybe the Lord has a place we could stay." She said.

"I'm not too sure, Kagome. It doesn't look like a normal castle. It has a weird aura around it."

"It looks fine to me. Let's go see." She said and began pulling him along.

At the castle

Akuma lay in between the two women. Both were asleep. There was a third girl who was seventeen, but she had been a priestess and had died in the war. She had been his prize. The one he treasured most. He even went as far as to say he had loved this woman. The only woman out of the countless to ever be impregnated with his child. But, sadly, the child died with its mother. He smiled at the memory of his love. Long dark brown hair, earth-brown eyes, and rich pink lips. He remembered those lips well… The lips he kissed. He remembered her as if it had been yesterday. These women would never replace the one he had lost. And they would never receive the gift he had bestowed upon her. The women that lay beside him were nothing but whores. She had been his treasure. He had been the one to seduce her. He had been the one to give her, her first kiss. He had been the one who knew her whole being. She had been the only woman who he had enjoyed body, mind, and spirit. The girls lying beside him were nothing more that slaves. Nothing more.

He sat up in his bed and looked at his crystal. It showed a picture of the girl and Hanyou from the night before. He looked closer at the girl. She looked identical to… But it couldn't be…There were a few differences, but for the most part she looked identical to…

"Midoriko."

Okay everyone. I hope I have you hooked now. I think I'm satisfied by this chapter. For those of you who don't know, the Kongousouha is an attack in which Inu Yasha's sword becomes covered in a coating of diamonds and then proceeds to fire diamonds at the enemy. When he was battling Hisenki, he chose to save his friends rather than strengthen the tetsaiga. Hisenki then gave him the power of the diamond shards.
