Kagome walked down the steps of the shrine and headed towards the graveyard not too far away. She held a bundle of pink and white cherry blossoms in her hands along with a bunch of tissues. Today was hard for her and her friends to handle with, not so much physically as mentally. Sure they should be happy today, of all days, since they had defeated Naraku and the jewel had become one yet again, however they lost a dear friend on this day also.

Kagome walked around other headstones and trees until coming to a particular headstone that read...

April Sakura
1986 – 2004
May she forever be our Guardian Angel.

Yes today was the three-year anniversary of their dear friend April. Everyone had already come to say his or her respects, all but Kagome. Inuyasha had asked her earlier that morning to some with him, Miroku and Sango but Kagome had wanted to do this on there.

"Hey there April," She said quietly placing the flowers on top of her tombstone. "Three long years since you died, and we miss you dearly, sure I've come and talked to you but I haven't really had the courage to come and talk to you but that is unfair to you so here I go.

"Sango is pregnant again, Inuyasha thinks its twins. Their little girl, Pandora, is the most beautiful little girl ever. She's turning two next month. She's adorable, however, Sango says if they have boys that take after Miroku's lecherous ways she'll kill him." Kagome giggled lightly.

"Inuyasha built us a hut too. Well more of a castle than a hut. I told him that we only needed a small one but you know how Inuyasha is. It seems he wants at least 10 'pups' after I'm done medical school. I refuse to be his breeding machine but it may not be that bad.

"I'm doing good in my medical studies also. Top of the class, Oh yeah! I may be able to graduate this year than have to wait for a couple more years. Everyone's a tad pissed off at how much time I spend in this time, but you know I would much rather be with them in their time. Well I have to go now; Inuyasha will get worried if I don't come back soon. Miss you lots." Kagome stood up slowly and walked away slowly heading back home.

~~~~*~~~~

"Faith?" A muscular voice asked from behind her. Faith stood up from where she had been watching the raven haired girl talk to a dead friend and turned to see a blond angel standing tall and mighty.

"Yes," She said bowing politely.

"What did I say about watching the humans rituals to their dead ones?" He asked warning in his words.

"Not to watch them, for it is against us." She said quietly.

"Exactly."

"But you only tell me that when I listen to them, to that particular group of humans! You act if I'm this April Sakura!" She retorted in her defense.

"You know our rules, understood! You know we are unable to find out anything about your past, or your life before becoming an Angel. What if those people heard or knew about you before coming here and you found out! You would be forbidden from this place. I can not allow that to happen." He said to her. She looked up at him slowly and nodded.

"I understand Sensei." Faith said quietly.

"Good, now go somewhere you won't get in trouble," he demanded. Faith nodded again and walked away from him after bowing in respect.

Once out of earshot, Faith began to mock him, flaying her arms around with a large frown on her face.

"Do this Faith, Don't do that! Man the nerve!" She exclaimed, however she stopped at the doors of the conference room that were opened slightly.

"We'll send Faith!" One elder exclaimed.

"But she has strong ties with them! It may cause a rip in fate." Another exclaimed louder.

"Maybe it won't. She has completed her training to become an Angel of Fate. She understands the importance of this kind of stuff." Faith's Sensei walked into the room from a door opposite from where she stood.

"Right, however they will know her past and she will find out who she once was," an elderly woman said close to the door where Faith sat. "She will be un able to come back."

"She was never meant to be here in the first place," exclaimed Faith's Sensei. "She wasn't met to become Honyou, she wasn't meant to die that day, and she wasn't meant to live through all the pain she was forced through. She deserves another chance at life, to be happy, she deserves that. So all in favor on sending Faith to Earth raise your hand."

"But other's will get suspicious, many want another chance at life, how can we give her a second chance and not them?" Asked the elderly woman.

"We shall say she was sent to earth on exile, I will tell her that also. So this conversation is now forgotten if anyone is to ask, farewell" Faith's Sensei turned and walked out the doors. Faith slid down a wall and sat there in stunned silence. Exile to Earth was the worst form of punishment that was to be given to an Angel, but she never had done anything wrong, and it was his IDEA! Her sadness was soon replaced with anger as she stood from the place she had occupied on the floor and stormed towards her Sensei's room. He was to feel her wrath tonight, and he was to change his mind.

~~~~*~~~~

Kagome walked into her house that seemed eerily quite at the moment. She sighed when she saw a note lying on her kitchen table.

Kagome;

Gone to the store with your brother and Grandfather. Inuyasha went back with Sango and Miroku saying they had to exterminate a demon. So no one will be home until late.

Love lots;
Mom

Great! Oh well she was able to work on homework than. She was about to walk up the steps until she felt a cold wind blow through the house. She turned to see the door open. 'Hmmm, thought I closed that?' She thought as she walked over to the door to close it and turned back towards the stairs. She heard a chuckle from the far end of the room, causing her to turn to look for whom ever the noise had belonged to.

"Who's there? " She asked quietly, walking up towards a wall. If she could just make it to the well...

"Are we scared sweetheart?" Said a cold monotone voice from the corner closest to her. She was about to sprint to the door when an arm grabbed her.

"Let me GO!" She yelled, however the person would not let go. Her gaze crept up the arm that held a tight grip on her wrist. She was met with a masked face except for dark brown eyes that were so cold, that she shivered at the sight of them.

She gasped when the figure pulled out a knife and went to strike her however she was able to dodge it. Nevertheless when he went to strike her again she was unable to get out of the way, which followed by the knife imbedding it self in her chest. She cried out in pain.

The person through her into a wall knocking the wind from her lungs. Then he grabbed her by the hair and began to smash her head into the kitchen table. She cried harder at the sight of her own blood streaming down her head.

The figure pulled her face up to his and smiled. Kagome had a feeling that this was far from finished.

~~~~*~~~~

Faith stomped into her Sensei's room, and saw him in the corner of the room peering into a mirror of some sort.

"How COULD YOU!" She bellowed

"You heard than?" He asked calmly.

"Hell yeah! Why do want to send me to earth huh?" She screamed at him. He motioned for her to come over with his hand.

"Come and look," he said quietly. Faith obliged and went over to the mirror. She gasped at the sight before her. The raven-haired girl she saw before her. The one she had seen earlier at the graveyard. She was situated in her house, which had plaster on the ground and broken furniture that by the way she was being tossed around seemed to be the reason why the house looked so messy. Faith felt sick to her stomach when the cloaked figure pulled out a gun and let three shots ring out.

"We have to help her!" Faith screamed.

"That's why you are being sent to earth, to assist her and the others that are connected to her." He said quietly. "Faith your life was unfair and was taken away even more unfairly. You deserve another chance. And you will find it through her." Faith nodded as tears streamed down her face. "We shall prepare you for your departure. "

~~~~*~~~~

Kagome lay on the floor motionless, lying in her own pool of blood. The figure stood over her and laughed.

"Pathetic human this is what you get for mating with a worthless half- breed. I was going to rape you but I thought better than that and decided to just kill you." With that the cloaked figure turned and walked out the door.

Kagome lay there crying in the pain that enveloped her frail body. She cried until a blissful sleep took over her.

~~~~~*~~~~

Mrs. Higurashi walked into her house after having to go shopping for food and other supplies. She switched on the light and screamed at the sight before her. There lying in a pool of her own blood was her beautiful daughter, Kagome. She ran over to her and picked up her dying daughter. Sobs wracked her body; she probable would of stayed there the whole night if it wasn't for her father walking in. He ushered Souta out of the room and called 911. The screams of sirens could be heard over everything outside as the ambulance arrived at the bottom of the steps of the shrine. They took Kagome out of her mother's arms and took her down the steps.

Mrs. Higurashi cried harder as she saw Souta's horror stricken face.

"Mama? What happen to Kagome?" He asked frightened.

"Oh sweetheart," She sobbed as she embraced her son.

~~~~*~~~~

Inuyasha hopped out of the well into Kagome's time holding a bundle of flowers. He hoped Kagome wasn't mad at him for leaving but he had been dragged back by a desperate Sango and Miroku as they said that there was a demon attacking a village nearby. Sango being in the state she was was the reason for her not going with Miroku, so therefore they came and dragged him off. He stopped when a smell crossed his nose. Kagome, and? BLOOD! He sprinted to her house, which smelt strongly of her blood. He stopped in the house to find men in uniforms walking around, the house.

"Get him out of here!" One yelled as others came to shove him out the door, but he passed them with ease. He stalked up to the man that had given the order.

"What did you do to KAGOME!" Inuyasha yelled in his face.

"Oh you're with her than, follow me." The man motioned. Inuyasha thought about if he should go with the odd man. In the end Inuyasha thought it would be the best since the man seemed to know where Kagome was.

The man opened a door to a car and shoved Inuyasha in. Inuyasha growled at the weird machine however he stopped when the man looked at him.

"The name's Tashu. Yours is?" The man asked as he swerved down the dark road.

"Inuyasha," he answered gruffly.

"You're Honyou?" Tashu asked.

"Have a problem with that?" Inuyasha growled.

"No actually, my wife is a Honyou too." Tashu grumbled something and turned a sharp right. "She was attacked last week by a group of people who attack the woman who are Honyou and marry humans, or they attack a woman who is human and married a Honyou."

"So you think they attacked Kagome."

"From what I have seen so far, yes." The car came to a halt outside a large building and Inuyasha dashed out the door.

The building smelt of sickness, death and blood, lots and lots of blood. However he could still smell Kagome's scent but barely though. He ran past people in uniforms, through hallways and other detours. Finally he came to a room that Kagome's scent was emitting from. He was about to walk through the thick metal doors when a man in a white lab jacket.

"You can't go in there!" He exclaimed in a deep masculine voice.

"And why the HELL NOT!" Inuyasha went to push the man aside.

"Because Kagome is in surgery," A feminine voice said somberly. Inuyasha turned around to see a puffy, red-eyed Mrs. Higurashi.

"What?" Inuyasha seemed slightly confused.

"Follow me," she said quietly taking him into the waiting room. "Kagome is having an operation," she said simply, however Inuyasha still looked confused. "Allow me to explain..."
