--

As Sorrow often sits with Sadness,
Challenged in what truths they hold.
Inherently relying on a touch of madness-
Lying in stories left untold.

So sit I with the tranquil viewing-
Of a starlit sky in June.
With all the peace of a werewolf misconstruing-
The phases of the moon.

The stars seem to shine before me-
Like lovers in line for a dance.
But it's ultimately that lunacy-
That spells for me romance.

And I cast my gaze upon her face,
Beaming ever-white and full.
Smiling, knowing, long as she's glowing,
Life never will be dull.

I'll wake the morrow well appeased,
And wink up at the sky.
Knowing my love, in fullness, though be pleased,
Won't be half as full as I.

A cool breeze blew through the small clearing causing the small fire to falter a little. She tucked a strand of hair that drifted forward and tickled her cheek as she frowned in concentration. Her small hands tightly gripped the book in her hands as she tried to memorize everything in her science book for the exam she was suppose to have in only 5 days. Her eyes momentarily 

moved from the book as she felt the small Kitsune move and snuggle into her side. She moved a lazily hand and stroked his head before moving back to her book. She only read for a few more minutes before she had to put her book down and rest.

"I can't take in any more for tonight!" she mumbled to her self angrily.

"Are you ok Kagome?"

Her head turned to the dark haired woman in a sleeping bag besides her.

"I'm sorry Sango. I hope I didn't wake you." She replied quietly, not trying to wake the rest of the people in the clearing.

"It's alright. I was already sort of awake. You should get some sleep. We have a long day tomorrow."

"Yea I was just about to go to bed." She said as she began to put her books away.

"Ok. Night then."

"Night."

She zipped up her bag pack and snuggled down into the warmth of her sleeping bag and pulled the small Kitsune into her arms. It was going to be a long day and she had no doubt that it was already in the wee ours of the morning. Finally she closed her eyes and relaxed.

"Kagome?"

She had just closed her eyes to sleep and some one was calling her? She grumbled as she flipped over and ignored the person.

"KAGOME!" they yelled louder.

"What?!" she asked angrily but not raising her head.

"Look at me." Was all the person said.

Now fully irritated she raised her head and opened her eyes but her breath caught as she did. Instead of being in the clearing where she had fallen asleep she was now standing on a rock over looking a forest with the bright light of a full moon shining down on her and her surroundings.

"What.The.Hell." was all she managed to choke out.



She spun around from the magnificent view but came to face to face with some one. She couldn't make out who it was because her eyes couldn't move from those of her companions'. They shone brightly like liquid gold, showing her an eternal pool of knowledge and power and wisdom beyond her years. Heart raced as she watched humor flicker into the eyes but where quickly suppressed by some other emotion she could not recognize immediately. The new emotion confused her. It quickly took over and remained the longest so far. But there was some familiar to these eyes. She'd seen them some where before but she couldn't quiet remember who they belonged to. Wait, Desire? Could that be the emotion she's seeing? She gazed as her thoughts were confirmed. The eyes seemed to blaze like a fire, with a deep desire to have her, to possess her. A shiver went down her spin as she backed up to get a look at the face but as she stepped everything went black and the person disappeared. Just as panic began to grip her she heard a soft familiar voice. It seemed too whispered directly into her ear as she felt a warm breath on her neck and a shiver ran down her spin.

"It comes from you, so it calls to you. It's eternal light you have been cursed to see. From your body it once emerged and from thus it must return, to strengthen thee. As the pieces come together a pain you must feel but as a new life is created within the power is then passed and a new era begins."

"Kagome?"

This time she opened her eyes immediately to soft childish voice.

"Huh?" she asked as she rolled over to see what was going on.

"Kagome you have to get up. Something's coming straight at us. Fast." She heard Sango say quickly.

She got up immediately and closed her eyes to see if she could sense what it was. Her breath caught as she sensed a jewel shard. More than one, she sensed about six of them in one person or thing. She quickly turned around and rolled up her sleeping bag and stuck it in her bag with the other things and put in a hollow tree for safe keeping. She spun around just in time to see a large cloud of dust raise up just a few kilometers away.

She pulled out her bow and arrow as the creature flew into the clearing and hit the ground. It slid directly towards her and she barely had enough time to jump out of the way as a giant tail swung towards her. She landed on the ground with a thud but was immediately pulled up by Inu Yasha who instinctively pulled her behind him and growled.

"Where is the jewel?!" the creature boomed out into the clearing, the dust settling around its massive form.



Kagome starred in awe as the massive creature twisted and turned its head franticly. No doubt maddened by the power of the shards it possessed. She was shocked by it's resemblance to a dragon. Its long red body stretched out for a good twenty five feet with unbelievably shiny red scales covering its entire body. Black spicks rose up along its spine and continued all the way up to its head where two long black whiskers hung from its long snout filled with hundreds of large shard teeth. She could sense the shards in the flesh of its four small legs and one in its head.

"Inu Yasha, It has shards…" she whispered breathlessly. "In its legs and head."

"I'll get them don't worry." He said cockily.

In moments he launched forward with his sword and almost hit the beast on his arm but it moved just in time and pelted a large boulder sized mass of acid at him. Inu Yasha dodged the attack and sent three wind scars at it but the beast had no trouble dodging those either. A loud chuckle escaped the creature's mouth as it went as close to the ground as possible and its great stomach seemed to move on it. She knew it was going to come, but where?

"I'll melt you bastards and take what is mine!" The creature chuckled. "The great Haru always gets what he wants!"

Just as his words got out she saw Sango attack. She knew this was the time. Sango's surprise attack caught him slightly off guard but he dodged the better part of it but his tail wasn't fast enough and she watched in silence as it was chopped off. The odd thing was that instead of going limp and dead like normal tails the creature's tail squirmed around franticly like a lizards tail before finally going limp with the occasional twitches. When she refocused on the creature she almost jumped out of her skin. Its tail was ready and in place as if it had never been cut off but the piece still remained on the ground that Sango had removed. She didn't have time to dwell on it as the creature sprung forward and attacked Inu Yasha besides her. She pulled and arrow quickly and loaded it as Sango launched another attack which it dodged. Inu Yasha wasted no time by jumping out of its way and sending three wind scars at it. I dodged but once again fell victim to Sango's attack as she managed to slice it through the arm. She immediately ran forward to grab the shard but as she came out the tail lashed around and hit Sango knocking her into a tree. She managed to grab the shard and began to run towards her fallen friend as Miroku pulled one of its acid balls into his wind tunnel and Inu Yasha sent another wind scar.

"Kagome!" she barely heard her friend call her name as she was knocked off her feet and dragged across the ground by something wrapped around her feet.



She stared in horror as the new tail pulled her up towards the creature. Inu Yasha sent a wind scar at the tail but it only caused him to jerk her up fasted and caused her to knock her head against the ground. Kagome groaned as she felt blood began to flow down the head.

"Stop!" she yelled furiously but the creature pulled her up to his face and watched her intently.

"I have you. Your friends won't dare attack!" he chuckled menacingly. "I think I shall keep you, The Miko of the Shikon No Tama. You shall make me the most powerful in the land!"

"Never!" she felt her self yell in a raspy voice. She felt darkness begin to close in on her. She wouldn't last much longer while loosing that much blood. She gasped the bottle with the remaining shards in her hand desperately. She couldn't let that bastard have them. The idea of tossing it to Inu Yasha flashed in her mind but as she raised her hand his tongue lashed out and cut her arm. The pain sired up her arm and seemed to spread through out her body. In reflex her grip on the bottle tightened and it shatter. Her ear splitting scream spread for what seemed miles. As she opened her bloodied palm and gazed and the shards and bits of glass where pressed into her skin. She didn't know what happened but she suddenly felt a comfortable warmth start to seep into her body from the point the jewels had pierced her skin and she watched in horror as they seemed to melt into her skin and spread through out her body.

"Bitch! What kind of magic are you using?!" the creature roared then without hesitation he let out an ear splitting howl and launched himself into the air carrying her with him.

He seemed to fly over the forest in a maddened attempt to get away from the source of his apparent pain but to no avail. Her body was going numb now and the blackness was moving in quick. In her last moment of consciousness she sensed them, the jewels that where in his body, they seemed to tear through his flesh in a ball of glowing light and then just as quickly raced towards her. She attempted to block the blow with her only free hand but screamed as once again the shards hit her full in the palm ad seemed to sink into her hand. She felt them begin to fall but her conscious would not allow her to open her eyes further as the pain became unbearable and she sensed to ground racing towards her but just she was about to hit felt her self slow to a near stop before gently tumbling to the ground in an unconscious heap.

Preview of Next Chapter



She gazed at him through her blood smeared bangs. The fury she felt almost consumed her. She'd never before felt that type of hatred for some one as she did now. She just wanted to lash out and purify his over arrogant ass!

"You have trespassed into the land of the west and killed four of my personal scouts. You shall be taken to my dungeon until I can find suitable punishment for your crimes against this Sesshomaru." Was all he said to her. His cool apathetic face showing no hint of anger or fatigue. It angered her even more.
