Mayalah: Hi. Well, here's my first story. Hope you enjoy. I won't blame you if you don't, though. I'm probably a lousy author anyways...

Miroku: You sure aren't all that confident in yourself or your abilities.

Mayalah: Let's just say you could say it runs in the family, unless I'm mistaken. Goku, if you please.

Goku: Alright. Mayalah doesn't own Inuyasha, Yuyu Hakasho, or Dragon Ball Z/GT. She only borrows the casts for her stories.

Mayalah: Well, on to the story! As I've already said, enjoy!

'sssss' thinking "ssssssss" talking

Chapter one

Unless you actually managed to be close enough to hear the sounds of battle, all seemed quiet. It was just before sunset, and the Inu-tachi once again found themselves locked in battle. Kagome, seeing her chance, started to run at the yokai they were currently fighting.

'Too bad.' Kagome thought, 'This ruins our plans for a break. Oh, well. It can't be helped.' She looked towards the sun. 'Oh, shoot. It's the full moon tonight and the sun's going down. Better hurry up and wrap this up.' To her misfortune, she's not the only one who saw their chance.

She drew her katana and charged. But the demon attacked as well. It threw its hand and directed a fairly random blast of yokai energy, shouting "Death daggers!"

Just at that moment, Kurama arrived. Seeing what was happening, but knowing he was too late to stop it, he ran as fast as he could and caught Kagome. The demon wasn't any trouble, Kagome had beheaded it. Besides, Kagome was all that mattered right now. 'I hope I'm not too late.' To his surprise, Yoko stayed silent, didn't say anything. He didn't voice that he shared Kurama's worry, he didn't point out how unlikely their shared hope was, he just stayed silent.

"Kagome!" Kurama urged, obviously worried as well as oblivious to all around him, "Kagome, are you alright?"

Kagome just looked up at him and smiled to try to assure him that she's fine and that everything would be alright. She knew that, one way or another, that it would almost be like this event never happened. That is, if any of her friends or family had anything to say about it. Which she knew they would.

"I'm fine, Kurama. Don't worry." she said, "But don't tell me that I'll live or anything of the sort, because we both know that the wounds I already had from fighting the demon, the energy that did manage to get drained, as well as the injury from that blast. I'm done for. But I'll be alright, you'll see. You know perfectly well that you can bring me back if you all feel you need to bother with it. Will you something for me?"

There was a lot that Kurama would do for her. "Of course I will." replied Kurama.

Kagome was now smiling for real. "Thank you." she said, "Can you please tell my brother and the rest of the Z-tenshi about this? I don't want them finding out some other way. Just don't tell my mother. It's, of course, alright for Mom, Grandpa, and Sota."

"Of course, Kagome." Kurama said. He hugged her tighter.

Thank you." Kagome said. And then her world went dark.

In Spirit World

Kagome found herself in Koenma's office. "Hi Koenma." she said.

Koenma had been watching this, and already knew what to do. "Hi there, Kagome. Listen, I can't bring you back, annoying rules, but as you know, that doesn't mean that you can't be brought back. How about you visit King Kai's place while you wait? You just might enjoy yourself." he said. 'Besides, there's another reason she should spend her time there.' "As you've noticed, I decided that it's best if you kept your physical form."

Kagome nodded once as she spoke. "Alright. Thanks. I think I'll do just that." With all that needed to be said said, she used instant transmission. When she arrived, she was immediately greeted with the sight of a man just barely over thirty who had an unmistakable hair style.

She immediately knew who it was and immediately greeted him. "Hi Dad. Long time no see."

End of Chapter

Mayalah: Well, that's the end of that. Sorry about the cliffie.

Yusuke: And I'm here why?

Mayalah: Because being here's bugging you. Before I forget, unlike some, I do accept flames and such. So don't worry that I'll take a story off or discontinue it. Especially without letting you know. Bye!
