The day was very warm. The sun was high; the sky was a bright baby blue and not a cloud floated by. These were days that Kagome loved the most in the Feudal Era. The villagers were doing their chores; vendors were their selling merchandise and everyone else was just out and enjoying the beautiful day. Dawned in her regular Miko garb, she strolled through the dusty streets, avoiding the laughing and squealing children as she made her way toward her home.

After defeating Naraku, surviving the three days in the Meido and being rescued by Inuyasha, she decided that this is where she belonged. She was meant to be with him, she was meant to make the Feudal Era her home and she couldn't be happier. With a slow breath through her nose and releasing it out with a smile, she paused outside her small but comfortable dwelling. She lived in Kaede's village as a Miko, doing the duties that she had to do and living out the rest of her days with Inuyasha, who had taken her as a mate not long after she returned. Her life was complete, her heart was happy and she believed that nothing else could change it.

"Kagome! Miss Kagome!" A small voice called as the pitter-patter of little feet caught her ears. The Miko turned and saw a group of three children running her way; one was holding something to his chest that she could not see to tell what it was. The children slowed to a halt before their Miko, breathing deep to catch their breaths and as the kind woman smiled down to them.

"What do you have there, Mahiko?" She asked as she kneeled down to child's level, eyeing the object that was wrapped in a cloth in his grasp.

Mahiko sucked in a breath and removed the cloth from the treasure he had found in the woods no more than an hour ago, showing it fully to his Miko and hoping for some answers. Kagome's eyebrows drew together at the strange object the child was holding. If she were in her time she would have automatically thought it to be the grip of a once silver pistol but she knew that it was not what she was thinking. It had the body of pistol grip but where the trigger was, it elongated into a blackened and broken sword like contraption.

She lightly grasped the metal only to recoil slightly, why was this thing so warm? Surely the boy couldn't have heated it with his body, no. This item was once scalding hot from the black splotches that marred the metal. Grasping it, Kagome held it how she believed it was to be held, feeling the weight of the weapon and turning it so she could get a full view. One thing did catch her eye; it was a broken cable at the hilt of the grip, likely that it was once attached to something. How odd.

"Mahiko" Kagome started as she held the weapon before the boy. "Where did you find this?" Mahiko looked down at his hands where the black soot had slightly stained his skin before looking at his Miko. She did not look angry but only curious as to where he had found such a thing. Pointing over his left shoulder, he motioned over to the opening of Inuyasha's forest.

"We were exploring while looking for some mushrooms to make with dinner and we were near the scared tree and about eighty paces to the left we saw something shiny in the bush. It was extremely hot where we found it but the strange thing was that there was no fire anywhere near it, it wasn't red hot like the metal in the blacksmith shop but it was hot enough to seem like it was once in scalding hot water." He explained as the blue eyes of his Miko went from him and then to contraption she held in her hands.

Kagome nodded while she stood up still holding the weapon and smiled. "You made quite a discovery, Mahiko. I will take a look around the area you said and see if I can sniff anything out. Run along now, your mothers might be getting worried." At the dismissal the children smiled and with a wave they were on their ways down the dirt path and into the main part of the village.

She watched them retreat with a kind look before turning her attention to the weapon once more. She had never seen anything like this in her life, not even back home in the future. Even though she was no expert on weapons, she knew two demons that could help her and after feeling the strong but familiar Dai Youkai aura heading toward her village, she could finally get a few opinions on this.

Kagome entered the hut, holding the object tighter as she laid it on a small desk that she had resting in one of the corners of the hut. She once again continued to stare at it, her mind racked with questions that couldn't be answered at the moment and it soon made her mind ache. With her fingers pinching her nose bridge she didn't notice the door flap opening and being coated in red standing at her side. Inuyasha stared at his mate as she pinched her nose bridge then to the item that she was standing before. His eyebrow rose at the strange thing. With a clawed hand he reached out and grasped the grip, holding it above his head to look it over, noting all the charred black splotches that marred it. With a twitch of his ear he brought the weapon to his nose and took a long whiff before gagging and dropping the metal to his feet, hands flying to his nose in an attempt to rub away the stench that invaded his senses.

"Inuyasha!" She jumped. "What the hell?" He heart beat fast in her rib cage as she watched her mate rub his robes along his nose and mumbling a few choice words. Looking from the empty desk and to the floor, Kagome reached down and picked up the item only to have Inuyasha recoil away from it with his hand to his nose. "What's gotten into you?" Kagome chided as she placed the weapon back on the desk for her to stare at. Inuyasha continued to keep his nose covered as she eyes the thing with confusion and disgust.

"Can you not smell it?" His speech was muffled through his robe as he looked from his mate then to the item on the desk. Kagome was confused and looked at the desk, sniffing but nothing was there. The only smell she could identify was the regular scent of her home. "No I don't smell anything. Is it this?" She asked as she grasped the weapon and held it toward Inuyasha again only to have him step backward with utter disgust in his eyes.

"Yes it's that and it smells putrid!" He yelled and walked through the flap to get a breath of fresh air.

Kagome placed the weapon back on the desk and followed her mate, who was standing in the sun, breathing deep and slow in an effort to get the smell out of his nose. Kagome raised an eyebrow. "What did it smell like? Maybe that could be a clue as to where it came from, although I've never seen anything like it around here. It's to advanced." She drawled as she looked back to her hut opening. Inuyasha breathed deeply once more before turning to his mate.

"That thing reeks of… of" He couldn't get the right words to explain what he smelled but tried none the less. "It smelled like acid, pure and raw stomach acid. I mean it had to be strong enough to burn the metal and that thing is coated in it."

Kagome had no idea how to take the news of the scent. Stomach acid? That weapon is already pretty large for fighting, just how big could a thing with strong stomach acid be? She was grossed out for sure before looking down at her hands that no doubt was coated in the sick smell. Something swallowed that sword but what exactly could it have been? Her heart pounded in growing nervousness as she wiped her hands on the red fabric of her pants. "

Where did you find that thing anyway?" He asked as he watched his mate rub her hands. Kagome looked back toward the village where the children had run off too. "Mahiko and some of his friends were in the woods looking for mushrooms, they found it in near a bush around the sacred tree. Inuyasha please take me there." She didn't need to ask twice before her mate grasped her waist and flew in the direction of the great tree.


She was hot. She was so, so hot that she felt like she was going to melt any second. Elzabeth gurgled a sob as she floated in what felt like that hottest water she had ever been in, eyes staring up at what she believed what was the Esophagus of the titan that ate her. Then it dawned on her like a brick to the breast. She had been eaten, her back snapped and body paralyzed as the titan dropped her into its mouth then swallowed her still alive.

Blood trailed from her nose, seeped past her lips as tears cascaded down the side of her face. She was floating in a pool of stomach acid of the monster that had devoured her and she was still alive. How cruel could the world be? She scanned her eyes around her and could see arms, legs and face down heads floating around her and the tears continued to fall at a quicker pace and soon choked sobs left her mouth.

She didn't want to die, not like this. Not eaten alive by a giant beast that destroyed her life. She wanted a new one, she wanted to start over and forget that any of this happened but she could feel herself begin to sink into the boiling acid. Soon there would be nothing of her left; she would be erased from the world without making a single impact on it. Looking down she could see that her legs and lower half were gone beneath the pool and soon her arms and torso followed until only her head was above the liquid.

Her mind began to panic as all the faces she had seen flashed before her eyes. Mother, Mina, Connie, Marco, Samuel, Armin and Eren. He had tried to save her, he had tried so hard to reach her but she knew that there was nothing he could do. At least she could die knowing that someone had tried to rescue her, had cared enough to try. Sobs racked her submerged form as she cried out for anyone who could hear her.

Her wails echoed through the muscle and tissue that encased her as she cried for her lost life. Acid flowed into her open mouth, burning her throat as it seeped down through her body and with one last frightened wail, her head submerged and Elzabeth Kappel was now gone.


"Stop here Inuyasha." Kagome called as they landed near the tree that Inuyasha spent fifty years attached to. Kagome looked around and turned to the left away from the tree, counting in her head as she walked through the brush with Inuyasha close behind her.

77… 78… 79 and 80. She stopped in her tracks looking around but seeing nothing that would seem out of the ordinary. "Hey Inuyasha." Her mate appeared at her side. "Can you smell where that weapon was around here?" With a disapproving sigh he breathed in quick, snatching the faint but still putrid scent of the acid and eyed a bush that was a few paces to Kagome's right. Walking over to a large broken bush, Inuyasha grasped it and yanked it away and just stared.

Where the weapon once laid was a charred imprint of the weapon in the grass. There were no footprints, no indications that there was a fire near it and looking up nothing seemed different with the tree tops. It's as if this thing appeared out of nowhere. Kagome stared at the large imprint and one of her questions was answered. This thing is definitely a sword of some form but looking at the tip of the imprint and seeing that the point of the blade was squared, she couldn't place what type of sword it was.

"Inuyasha this weird and I don't like it." Kagome whispered as she looked around the charred print with confusion. She couldn't fathom where this thing came from and it was still too advanced for people of this age. The cord it held at the hilt of the handle grip, there was nothing like that around in this time yet. This thing was operated but for what, she couldn't figure it out.

Inuyasha's hair prickled.

Something was off, very off and the scent around them changed. Golden eyes looked up and the once clear sky began to darken to angry hue as thunder rumbled in the distance. Gripping Kagome toward him, Inuyasha leapt into the air above the trees watching as the sky began to churn into a swirl of angry clouds; thunder getting louder and wind begin to pick up.

"Inuyasha." Kagome breathed as she watched the sky change from calm to angry in a matter of seconds. "What in the wor-" Her sentence was cut off with a scream as a large bolt of yellow lightening erupted from the swirling clouds, zipping down to the ground in such a thunderous clash that it made her ears ring.

She could feel Inuyasha's hand cover her head as a bright flash of red illuminated her closed eyelids but just as soon as it came it was gone. She opened her eyes to see that the sky was beginning to clear up again and where the lightning struck, white smoke blew into the sky. Her heart hammered her chest as she clung to her mate and stared at the rising white smoke. What in the ever loving world was that? She had never in her life, in the future or in the past, seen a large bolt of lightning like that. Looking up to Inuyasha, gold eyes met hers before nodding.

"I sensed Sesshomaru before the lightning struck and he's heading there now; let's go see what that was all about." She nodded and gripped her mate tighter as he flew toward the smoke that slowly began to fade. She had a feeling that maybe that strange weapon had something to do with this.
