Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha or Yu Yu Hakusho.

Summary: Inuyasha chose Kikyo but asked me to stay. So I would after I healed. I went home but the well didn't send me to the human world. It sent me to the Makai, the demon world. There I enconutered four cat demons and their dying mother. As she died she gave me her lands and her children, turning into a kitsune demon was making me stronger. Then I met him. A spikey haired sexy demon that screamed danger, but I was attracted to danger and danger was attracted to me. You would know how much I was attracted to danger if you knew...Sesshoumaru became involved as well.

Rating: M for later chapters

Pairing:Hiei/Kagome/Sesshoumaru


"Your pain is painful and it's tearing me down..." -'Family Portrait' by Pink


Stay With Me?

It was true. The horrifying reality was true. Inuyasha doesn't love me. I had always known his feelings for me weren't the feelings he held for Kikyo. Though I knew it...it still hurt. It hurt and there was nothing I could do about it. It was as if my soul was being pulled from my body all over again. The worst part was Kikyo's laughing smirk over Inuyasha's shoulder when he told me.

Her victorious smile. Her eyes were full of malice as they stared at me, the cold yet distinctly beautiful gray orbs stared at me with a hate that was both unnatural and unwarranted. I had never done anything to deserve the pain she put me through. The way she called Inuyasha late at night, the way she tried to hurt me.

I deserved none of it. Then Inuyasha looked at me, his golden eyes soft and begging when he asked the question that had Kikyo's smug smirk wiped off of her face.

I choose Kikyo, Kagome… but will you still stay with me?

Kikyo looked at Inuyasha and her eyes were colder. I had nodded to Inuyasha, the tears blurring in my eyes. I gave him a small reassuring smile and then turned away. I nodded because I had once told him...I would stay with him...I once told him that it didn't matter what he did...I would stay. I softly whispered to him I wanted to go home and he nodded in understanding. It was the first time he let me go with out argument. I guess he was more understanding then I knew.

Slowly I began to understand why he chose Kikyo. The cruel reality was that Inuyasha and Kikyo really did love one another but Naraku tore them away from each other. It didn't make the pain any better. Naraku. He started all of this. It's all his fault that I am here, that Inuyasha and Kikyo betrayed each other, Sango has no living family, Miroku can't settle down and have children, and that Shippo is parent less.

I wanted to hate him but deep down...it was hard for me to hate any one. There was only one time I hated Kikyo and it was nothing more than a fleeting moment. I turned from the couple and ran from them. I ran through the forest and through the village. On the outskirts I passed Sesshoumaru but he grabbed my arm, preventing me from going further.

"Miko...what is that has caused your tears?" he asked me softly. He lifted his free arm, the one that I had restored, and wiped one of my tears away.

"It has been made." I told him.

"What has been made?" he asked.

"Inuyasha had made his choice and it wasn't me." I whispered, more tears tears falling from my eyes. Sesshoumaru's golden orbs held a hint of sadness.

"That whelp never did make the best choices." he told me softly. I giggled and gave him a sad smile.

"What of you, Sesshoumaru?" I asked. "Do you always make the right choices?"

"No." he said as he released me. "There is only one choice that I do regret making." We both knew what it was and I turned from him sadly. He grasped my chin in his hand and made me look at him. "I sorry that my choice has caused you pain and on top of my choice, you have to deal with Inuyasha's. If it were any other time or if there was a way...we could...but for now..." he trailed. I nodded and in a burst of courage, I leaned up and brushed my lips against his.

"I understand...goodbye for now, Sesshoumaru." I turned away from him and left the nearly emotionless Taiyoukai alone with his thoughts. I felt more tears in my eyes and ran.

Quickly I jumped into the bone eaters well and felt the magic of time flow around me. It was a warm feeling that made my sadness disappear for a fleeting moment before. It caressed my body in a mother's embrace and then it faded away, leaving me with my thoughts. I stayed in the well for what seemed like hours with nothing more than my tears until I felt the cold. I looked up and noticed the snow slowly falling around the well, that the well for some reason didn't transfer me home.

Slowly I climbed the vines on the side of the well and looked at my surroundings once I reached the top. It was snowing and there were fewer trees. The sky was a light shade of pink and I wiped my eyes. Maybe, I was transferred some where else? I flinched at the very thought.

Thankfully, in this snowy weather...I wouldn't freeze to death.

Somehow I made it into high school and wear a white short-sleeved button up shirt, a gray sweater-vest, a black business suit-like jacket, a gray, black, and white pleated plaid skirt, black knee high socks, and black shoes. I wasn't extremely cold but I was still cold.

I stretched out my aura and searched for some kind of life. At first I thought Kaede's teachings went to waste but soon I felt that every where my aura went, demons were there. Humans failed to exist. I frowned and extended my aura further...I still felt nothing.

I felt panic begin to well within me but soon gained control over my emotions. I'll admit, I'm scared and don't have any arrows or my bow with me. Carefully, as to not attract demons to my person, I tried sending miko energy to my fists. Soon I smiled when my fist glowed silver. I let the power fade and jumped back into the well, holding on to a small flicker of hope that I may be able to get back.

My hope faded when I came out of the well and saw my surroundings hadn't changed. I sighed and slowly began to walk in any direction. My miko instincts took over completely and guided me to an anonymous destination. If I stayed by the well then a demon could come and kill me. If I walked, a demon could still kill me but I had a chance of finding someone that could help me.

The sky was turning black with every passing moment and it was getting colder and colder. I shivered and began to blow into my hands. It wasn't very much help because my hands were so cold that they hurt. I lost track of how long I had been walking and soon I didn't care.

Snow began to fall harder and the wind had yet to still. I stopped suddenly and sat down and dug a hole in the snow. I remember seeing in a movie how sled dogs survived in the cold. The trick was to bury themselves in the snow. Maybe, it would work for me. I smiled wryly. I didn't have the fur like those dogs but I couldn't lie down and die, so to speak.

I dug a big enough hole and then covered my whole body in snow. Slowly I grew warmer and my eyes drifted shut. It was like as small yet distinctly warm cocoon or maybe I was so cold that the cold felt warm to me. Man I was tired, but I was afraid to sleep. What if a demon should choose to attack me while I was sleeping?

Carefully I erected a barrier with minimum power to protect me from demons wishing me to do harm. It wouldn't attract demons but it would hold them back should they try and hurt me. I yawned to myself, the event of the day wearing on me. Slowly I drifted off into a peaceful sleep.


I was in the Makai because I was bored and needed to slaughter something-anything to keep me sane. I was annoyed with everyone and everything and no one could take a hint. So while slaughtering anything in path, which I'll admit, made me feel alot better, I came across a woman in the Makai. A human woman and wondered how she here. More importantly should I take her to Koenma or leave her and let her die?

I normally I would have left her to die, humans were of no concern to me, and this human was no different. Every now and then a human would some how get here but I never did really do anything about it. If Koenma didn't assign me to get the human then they were pretty much SOL. As I turned from the small human...I felt something flare behind me. I narrowed my eyes and turned to look at her.

She had released some spiritual energy that seemed pure. It was much like that humans, Sensui's, power but it was different in a sense that it was purer. I watched her fists glow a silver color and I looked at her curiously. What was she? I had remembered this feeling from years ago, before the barriers were put into place.

I searched the smallest and darkest corners of mind until the word came to me.

Miko.

How had a miko gotten into the Makai? The girl sighed and then she was looking around. She took off in a random direction and I followed her closely. If there was a miko in the Makai...I wondered what she would do and how much blood shed was about to happen. Demons from the past, demons that remembered, did not take kindly to her kind.

I watched the human walk all day and not once did she stop. I'll give her this, she was stronger then most humans I had encountered. She stopped sometime after dark and dug a hole in the ground, soon she covered her body in the snow. Hn. Smart wench.

I internally battled with myself and decided she could provide me with some amusement and I wanted to keep her alive to see how this little adventure came to turn out. It would be amusing to say the least. I sat in a tree and felt a small barrier surround her. I used the hi part of me and allowed heat to encase her in a cocoon of warmth.

I leaned against the tree and slowly dozed into a very light sleep.


KYN: So I decided to try and revise this story because I wrote the first few chapters a few years ago and it just wasn't me. I plan to revise several stories actually.
Youko: It's for your benefit and her own.
Alucard: She should just leave it.
KYN: Neither of you are helping. Review and tell me what you think!
