Summery: Inuyasha died in the fight with Naraku, followed by Kaede's's death. Just as she was getting over their passing a hoard of demons attack the village for the jewel, while she was visiting her family.

When it wasn't their they moved on, no had one survived. She decided that she would stay in the past to keep the demons from attacking villages looking for the jewel she carried around her neck.

Kagome sat on the shrine steps of her child hood home and watched as the cars passed not even looking up at the girl who had silent tears running down her face. Her friends

were gone the fight with Naraku was hard and long Inuyasha was the first to die, Naraku had impaled him threw the heart trying to protect her and the rest of their companions.

She could still remember watching his heart hit the ground at her feet, blood splattering her face and body as she watched Inuyasha fall to the ground dead before he ever hit the

cold hard ground. She lost control after that power pulsed threw her body her eyes turning a shade of blue as her powers surrounded her body and grew at a enormous rate. With

a scream of pain and anguish she released it all killing the half bread Naraku leaving nothing left of him but floating ash that fell to the ground. Tired from the lack of energy she

collapsed to her knees hot tears of sadness streamed down her face.

Kagome had started to crawl on her hands and knees not having the energy to walk toward Inuyasha's lifeless body he was her best friend, her first love, and protector. Half way

to his body a arrow hit the ground in front of her looking up she saw Kikyo glaring at her as she walked to the body of her passed love. Kagome froze as she watched Kikyo

grab Inuyasha's cooling body and opened the door to hell as they sunk farther a bright light flew out of the entrance to hell and hit Kagome in the chest the part of her missing soul

returning to her body. Shortly after another light shot out of the door to hell only this time in the form of Inuyasha he seemed at peace as he looked at her with sadness in his eyes.

"Be happy Kagome for me." With that his soul shot toward the heavens as the door to hell closed.

After a quick rinse in a near by river to wash the blood off of their bodies and clothing she and her friends headed back to the village by the well. As they entered the village all

was quiet even at mid day no one was around to greet them like normal walking farther in the village they found all the villagers surrounding Kaede's small hut tears on most of

their faces. Pain gripped her heart as she pushed her way threw the crowd Miroku and Sango not far behind her, they entered the hut holding their breath worried what they might

find. Their on her sleeping mat lay Kaede's looking like she was sleeping only her chest did not rise and fall with breath, by her side sat a weeping Shippo. Tears falling down her

face again she picked up the crying kit and held him close.

They buried Kaede's next to Kikyo's grave and Inuyasha's grave even with out a body or ashes on the other side of Kikyo's grave. Deciding that the past needed her more than

the present she had decided to stay in the past and take over healer to the village. Every thing seemed to be going fine for a few months everybody was looking forward to Sango

and Miroku's wedding a little over a week away. Deciding to go to the past to pick up a few items that she needed for the wedding she was only planning on staying gone a few

hours. Kagome had returned only a few hours later as planned carrying bags of things they could use for the wedding, a smile on her face things were starting to look up. As she

climbed over the edge of the well the smell of smoke hit her dropping the bags she ran to the village only to stop on the edge with horror in her eyes. Bodies lay everywhere the

green grass stained with blood not a green patch left any were. Running as fast as she could she came to the hut were her and her friends had stayed the past few months slowly

opening the bamboo door scared of what she might find she saw her little Kit first lying on his stomach his body cold with death. Sobs shook her body as the tears blurred her

vision, she heard a sound a voice a male voice it was Miroku quickly standing and running to his side she saw Sango's body next to him blood still pouring out of her wounds. She

held back her sobs knowing her sister was already gone, she turned her attention to Miroku who was fading fast a deadly wound across his back. "Miroku what happened? Who

did this? You can't die on me now I'll have no one left." Kagome sobbed looking into Miroku's wise brown eyes.

"Kagome, Hundreds of demons took us by surprise we had no chance their were just too many. We tried to run and hide but one slipped past my barrier and got Shippo. We

took him down but more started to slip threw and with in a matter of minutes me and Sango couldn't fight any longer. The Demons were looking for the Sacred Jewel, we were

just glad you were gone so they couldn't get it." Miroku said before he started coughing up blood. His body then went limp he stopped breathing his heart stopped beating,

Kagome knew he was gone. Her hand went to the Jewel around her neck as she cared the jewel it only brung pain and death in its wake. Kirara was the only one alive though

badly hurt her leg was broken but that was it but in a few hours the leg would be healed completely. Standing she walked out of the hut trying to ignore the blood and gore

surrounding her, Kirara held in her arms she walked to the edge of the village and sat the demon cat down in some soft grass.

For hours Kagome worked hard digging graves not deep only deep enough to place their ashes. The smell of burning flesh evaded her nose she knew the smell would never leave

her, her stomach aced and her throat burned from swallowing the bile that tried to force its way out. Once Kirara's leg had healed she help digging the shallow graves while

Kagome started on the grave markers. They worked threw out the day and threw the night at dawn the only ones left were their friends. Sighing Kagome carved their names into

large rocks and placed the stones next to Inuyasha's silent tears fell down her face as she lit the brush under their bodies once their ashes had been buried. Kagome and Kirara

walked toward the well once they reached the well they climbed over it and jumped into the portal to the future.

Kagome lifted her hand to wipe away the tears that were rolling down her face no more tears thought to her self. Kirara climbed up next to her rubbing her head up and down

her leg to get her attention, smiling Kagome pet the demon cat. Kagome stood and smiled down at Kirara before walking toward the shrine house, she couldn't wait any longer

she had to tell her family she was going back to the past she had to protect the people their now that her friends were gone. Her mother wouldn't like it but it had to be done.

"Mom, Grandpa, Souta I'm home!" she said her voice flowing threw the hall ways of he house. "Were in the kitchen Kagome, Welcome home." Her mom replied. As Kagome

walked into the kitchen her mother tuned to look at her seeing the puffy eyes and the trails of dried tears down her daughters face she knew something was wrong. When she

spotted the demon cat in her arms she knew something terrible had happened. "Kagome sweetheart what happened?"

Kagome held her tears back behind her eyes and resisted the urge to run into her mothers arms "The village was attacked while I was gone no one made it out alive but Kirara,

with my friends gone there is no one left to protect the surrounding village's. The demons are looking for the Jewel that I carry they wont stop till they are killed or they get the

jewel. I wont be staying long I will leave threw the well in a week after that I may never come back. I have a responsibility their that I can not run from." Kagome said, she

continued to look at the floor looking at her mother or her family would make her lose what little control she had.

Kagome's mom looked at her daughter she knew this would happen one day, "Kagome its hard to believe that you have grown up this much, just yesterday it seemed like you

were just learning how to walk. I understand your reasons and your responsibility I wont try to stop you. I wont even try to talk you out of it but we do need to talk, gramps can

you finish dinner for me?" She didn't even wait for his reply before taking her daughters hand and walking upstairs. When they reached the hallway her mother pulled the cord for

the attic and motioned for Kagome to climb up the steep stairs before following.

Once the two were fully in the attic Mrs.H closed the door so they wouldn't be bothered and so no one would over hear. "Kagome sweet heart over five hundred and fifty years

ago I fell threw the well just like you did but I came to this time instead of falling into the past. You were only 5 at the time Souta only a new born your father was the Lord of the

Eastern lands and was for a few hundred years. How you ask very simple we are demons dog demons, when we first came threw the well a war had broken out between the

Eastern and the northern lands your father wanted me to run and hide because he knew that the lord of the Northern Lands Lord Tinchi would come after me and our children. He

was chasing me when I came onto to clearing with the well and jumped hoping the depths would hide me but instead it took me here. When I realized their were almost no

demons or very well hid who and what we were. Your grandfather took us in and formulated who we are today, I have tried several times over the last few years to get threw the

well to go home but the well wouldn't let me threw. I haven't tried since you fell threw all those years ago and went to the past you need to reclaim your right you are the heir to

the Eastern territories you have a responsibility to take care of the land Mrs. H (I don't want to spell it out completely just imagine that its whole.) Closed the door to the attic after

pulling the string to turn on the light. Tuning to her daughter she smiled at her before turning to the back of the attic to an old trunk that looked like it hadn't been touched in years.

"When I was about your age my mother gave me this, and told me that one day I would pass it on to my daughter and she would pass it on to hers. Kagome don't be mad at me

for what I am about to tell you but it had to be done." Mrs H stated watching as her daughter looked at her with confused eyes, at the nod of Kagome's head she moved to pick

up the trunk and place it before her.

"This Kagome has been in are family for as long as anyone can remember." Opening the trunk lay a beautiful sword along with a Kimono and a fighting out fit that looked a lot like

Sango's but the colors were off where Sango's was pink it was silver where the black on Sango's was white, the Kimono was pure white silk with flowing sleeves and sakura

blossoms on the edge simple but beautiful. The sword sheath was white with what seemed to be silver and gold that looked like smoke. The handle was white with silver strings

holding the white leather to the handle above it was a puff of silver fur. Kagome pulled the sward from the sheath to be meet with a shining silver blade that seemed sharper than a

razor blade. The symbols for pure heart were etched into one side of the blade the other was a heart that was surrounded in flames. "Kagome if you would like I can remove the

seal that has been keeping your demonic powers and appearance at bay they will aid you." Not being able to speak just yet with the shock she felt like her entire life had been a lie

up until this point. She nodded anyways eyes wide her heart beat growing faster.

Her mother closed her eyes and began to chant so softly that she couldn't here just seen her mouth moving. Kagome looked at her hands as they began to glow and tingle with

warmth she noticed her nails became longer and more pointed into claws and watched as the light spread as well as the tingling sensation. It moved up to her wrists as she

watched markings of bluish silver began to form on her wrists before it moved upward on her arms every once in a while stopping as markings formed on her elbows and upper

arms. Her feet began to tingle and glow as the markings appeared on her ankles and knees as well as her upper legs and hips then waist she felt her hair as it grew and tickled the

back of her knees when she looked to expect it she found that her hair was no longer pale black but a metallic black almost looked like shinny silk a mix of black and silver. Her

attention was turned as her ears tingled she reached up with her newly clawed hands and felt as her ears grew pointed before she lost her sight as her face was covered in the

white glow. When the light was gone she fell to her knees as the smells and sounds of everything around her assaulted her before she became used to them.

Kagome stood and stretched her muscles they seamed tense and a little sore, looking at her mother she just pointed to a mirror a few feet away. As She walked over she didn't

recognize the woman in the mirror her hair was slightly past her knees and strait as a bored silvery black her skin was pale compared to the tanned skin she had always had due to

running around outside in the past. On her face a heart surrounded in flames sat in the middle of her for head the heart was white and the flames surrounding it was a soft blue

silver blue streaks were on her cheeks two just under her eyes, now a pale blue instead of the plain brown they had been. She felt she was taller now probably almost 6 foot if not

6 ft on the dot her waist seemed slimmer her breasts bigger, and her legs seemed like they went on for hours. The woman in the mirror looked like a goddess to her even though

she knew it was herself it was hard to believe.

The dress she had on had become too short if she were to bend you could of probably seen her panties. Kagome bent down quickly and claimed the clothing that was laying in t

he chest, then quickly striped the dress from her body as well as her bra which was too small for her breasts. She slipped on the fighting suit which seemed like it fit to her body

perfectly over that she slipped on the Kimono and tied the obi. With out even looking at her mother she grabbed the sword and slipped it into her obi and walked away with out a

word. Her mother had lied to her, her entire life she couldn't face her now she needed time to adjust and learn her abilities before she could facer her. She dropped the stairs and

climbed down whistling for Kirara the little demon cat ran to her paused while adjusting to the new look before jumping on her shoulder. She ran quickly before her grandfather or

little brother noticed her in her new form. Running as fast as she could toward the front door she grabbed her bag that held her things before running out the door and toward the

well. When she reached the well she jumped in with out a second thought.
