Return To Me

Chapter One Road To Ruin

By Inuyashas Youkai

* I do Not Own Inuyasha*

' May the road rise up to meet you, may the wind be ever

at your the sun shine warm upon your face

and the rain fall softly on your fields. And until we meet

again, may God hold you in the hollow of his

hand. '

Irish Blessing

The time had now came as another string of curses resonated in her ears .

Kagome exhausted as she once again released her powers into the sharp point of the bows,before it's searing path was created, tearing up the blue serene sky, as it soared towards it's target.

Hours had passed ,or had it been days , neither were sure ,as the few still standing fought against their common enemy Naraku. Miroku's Wind Tunnel had finally took it's open ended threat into reality ,he too died like his father.

This left a heartbroken Sango because the raging winds took Miroku before anybody could reach him.

Miroku died in protecting his love Sango. Miroku unleashed his windtunnel when Naraku released large amounts of miasma into the atmosphere, after Sango had gotten a damaging blow to Naraku.

Sango left them after that while Kagome was preoccupied with taking her shot with her bow against to anyone else until it was almost to late for Kagome ,Kanna had taken position in her strengthened form, to once again attempt to take Kagome's soul. Kanna would have succeeded, Kagome felt it paralyze her from behind ,slowly taking her soul in generous amounts.

Sango had caught it sending her weapon toward the pale entity towards her mirror, shattering it upon contact. Though as soon as Naraku's hold on me through Kanna severed , a blunt object shot into Sango's chest ,through the heart, killling her instantly.

While Kagome fought alongside Kikyo, Inuyasha was combining attacks with his brother to join with the girls arrows .

Kagome looked to her past self with renewed faith,nodding to her while stepping into the middle of the battlefield, surrounded with a ethereal glow. This would be her last stand taking stance within the middle of the chaos , freezing the others in theirs.

"Kagome.." Inuyasha spoke within his own mind ,not realizing that the words flowed from his lips .

Through half lidded eyes she looked at the hanyou, in the corner of her chocolate orbs, while keeping Kagome's main concentration on Naraku .

She sent a message through her intense look in her eyes, it was of the end ,finishing it, Kagome was saying goodbye.

Before the hanyou could so anything to stop what he feared she'd do ,Kagome's light filled the area . Soon with the light the shards of the Shikon jewel flew from where they hid and shot towards her. Before the light faded , Kagome with all of she shards intact to form the whole jewel she closed her eyes ,bestowing upon it her selfless wish.

Opening her eyes, the small orb in her hand ,raising her bow and piercing the jewel with the arrows tip, splintering back into little shards ,with her barrier still intact. Kagome held out her hands out in front of her ,summoning everything she had left of herself into those shards before sending them towards Naraku. The shards took flight and shot through Naraku in random places searing him,though only weakening him .

Naraku shot forth a tentacle through Kagome's body as she collapsed where she stood through her spleen, dragging her body towards him . Kagome took one last look into the frantic eyes of her comrades and smiled fatiguely. Clearing her throat , coughing up blood before taking a breath before she spoke her last words.

" Finish him !" Kagome screamed raspily using her last breath,before her heart slowed to nothing from blood loss.

Inuyasha ,with a steady stream of salt running down his face as he watched the scene unfold . Anger seared in his veins ,taking in the sight of his best friend and only love take her last breath . Taking stance, leaving the three survivors in the battle of time they stood taking their last stand against the evil that haunted them .

Naraku had already consumed the remains of their parted comrade , Kagome , using the sliver of power left in her fallen form . Using the Miko's power against them combined with the power flowing in his veins took his final form. Drawing in his incarnations back into himself for renewed strength stood in a taunting threat above them before his opponents took their place.

Thereafter Inuyasha leapt into the air and fiercely grounded out 'Meido Zangetzuha' joining his brother as Kikyo filled her last arrow with everything she had .

The after effects in turn brought on a earth shattering explosion erupting and devouring the battle grounds ,crushing everything in it's path into dust . They had won the battle against Naraku but not without the price of losing themselves in death.

The expanse leveled out and the remnants of what occurred swallowed up into the passage of time ,leaving no survivors. Over the decades ,history books often told of the battle being played out within the jewel as the late priestess Midoriko had fought ,Priestess Kagome and her comrades followed suit.

Reasoning the fact that nothing was ever documented on them after contributing factor to historians beliefs was the lands that held the war , appeared desolate and abandoned as though no life had ever existed there. Since the battle, those stricken lands that once was told to hold to life thriving there, documented none thereafter.

500 Years Later...

A girl shot up from her bed with glistening sweat shining against the moons rays bloodied with crimson. Still shaken with fear , from the lingering, and fading images flooded her mind.

The teen rubbed the remaining sleep out from her eyes, only to be startled by the redness to the moons glow. She didn't know why but the moons appearance unnerved her somehow.

Looking at the clock on her nightstand it flashed 3:15, silently cursing her luck ,wouldn't be able to return to slumber. Slowly crawling from the bed and steadying herself on her feet, she frustratingly gathered her things, and headed for the shower .

Once ready to face the day, with her hair tied in a ponytail ,dressed in jeans and a baby tee . The young woman sat and listened to her Mp3,while humming along until it was time to head out, feeling anxious.

Somewhere across town a boy sat under the light from the lamp on his desk , reviewing the notes for test scheduled a very short time away.

Tossing a hand through his inky shoulder length hair in frustration, knowing as soon as it was time the young man would forget everything.

Sighing in defeat ,lightly tapping the off button on the alarm clock before shoving his stuff back into his back back before heading to get ready for school. Grabbing a pair of jeans and a tee ,then heading to the bathroom to take a shower.

After the hot water and soap cleansed the sweat from sleep ,coming out dressed and ready to head out, noticing the clock only read 6:00 am.

While having some time ,laying back on the bed while looking out the window at the sunrise with the familiar feeling there was something missing,only he couldn't place.

On the way to school , a couple miles from the school itself a bus stop with a crowd of kids lined up awaiting for their ride to arrive.

Another year had begun, gathering the loud awrny students with every passing year to only learn to get better at what they did best.

Once the bus came and dropped the students to the rather large high school campus in downtown Tokyo.

A flock of teens fluttered in random spots to join old friends from the past year until the bell rang. Numerous grunts , moans, shrieks ,and laughter filled their surroundings as students in large numbers passed through the halls.

Although for five of the students passing through these halls ,would soon find themselves coming across more than what they expected .

The threads of time sometimes have a way of resurfacing and repeating itself,with karma on it's heels. Will the five accept fate's terms or will they make their own rules ,this time around?
