Chapter 2

Kagome's eyes flutter opened. She noticed that she wasn't on the forest ground anymore. Looking around, nothing but darkness except for one window near the ceiling. Trying to move but she felt her hands tied over her head. Memories started coming back to her and her tears were threatening to fall again.

"Where am I? Heh, well it doesn't matter. I'm worthless to Inuyasha. Probably the others are thinking that too. Kikyo will be more helpful and useful than me. I have finally outgrown my usefulness." Kagome thought as she glanced down with sorrowful eyes.

"Kagome-sama, that hanyou doesn't need you. Nor does he deserve your respect." A mysterious figure came out.

Kagome looked up and noticed the figure had a cloak on. Its head could not be seen since a hood was covering it. She saw that another figure had showed up and joined the first. Fear creeped up to Kagome, almost choking her. She was having a hard time trying to breathe. "Who were these people and what do they want with me?" Questions filled Kagome's mind. The figures looked at her as if they knew what she was thinking.

"Rest assure Lady Kagome, we mean you no harm. We are here to help you." The figure slightly shorter than the first she saw answered her. "The time for your awakening is now Kagome-sama." The figure taller than the other said.

Kagome was panicking. What did the people mean when it was time for her awakening? She then felt her body laying down. The stone table was moving down. She no longer was facing forward, but up towards the ceiling instead. Starting to struggle, the figures were moving towards her. What are they going to do to her?

"What are you guys going to do to me?" Kagome yelled at the figures. "Lady Kagome, we have told you, we are going to help you." "Now to rid you of this accursed soul, Kagome-sama. The procedure will be needing you to go into sleep mode though because extracting this foul soul will be excruciating. AKIRA! Bring me the sleeping powder." Hai, Ken-aniki."

Akira, younger sister of Ken, ran out and quickly grabbed the sleeping powder. She ran back to Ken and handed him the powder gently. Ken silently thanked her and picked some powder, sprinkling Kagome's face. Kagome slowly closed her eyes, going to deep sleep again. She drifted in the darkness of her mind. Ken started drawing many foreign symbols and characters onto the stone table. Akira came back to her brother with a container already opened.

BACK AT THE CAMPING SITE OF THE INU-TACHI…

Everyone woke up to the sun. Sango was pissed to no end. Miroku tried his hardest to calm her down. Shippou was still depressed. Everyone was either sad, depressed, or, in Sango's case. Beyond mad. Inuyasha and Kikyou, however, didn't feel these emotions. Last night event did not make the gang happy.

Flashblack…

Patiently waiting for their brash Inu friend and Kagome, the group were doing what they were normally doing. Miroku rubbing his cheeks that had a red hand printing on it. Sango looking the other way, face red as a tomato. Shippou playing with Kirara. They all snapped out when Inuyasha and Kikyou came into the scene.

"What is SHE doing here and where is Kagome?" Sango questioned, pointing at Kikyo rudely.

"Now, now my dear Sango. There must be a reasonable explanation for this. Please put your finger down. Inuyasha, please explain this is a misunderstanding." Miroku faced Inuyasha after cooling down Sango.

"Kikyou will be joining us on our search for the shards. I will be taking her as my mate." Inuyasha saying straight to the point.

Sango was fuming mad. He completely avoided the question about Kagome. Baka-yarou!

Shippou frowned. What happened to his adopted mother. They all went to sleep. Inuyasha jumping on a random tree with Kikyo in his arms.

End Flashback…

"Baka Inuyasha. I can't believe you forgot about Kagome." Shippou thought as he glared at Inuyasha, who didn't notice it.

"Don't worry Kagome, we will find you. I hope…and soon too." Sango thought as she worried. "Wherever you are."

The group set off, continuing their journey without their friend.

THE UNCONCIOUS KAGOME…

Ken was getting ready to end this. Akira was waiting anxiously as she got ready to close the cap of the container. The container that can contain the souls of anyone. Rare to find these. Ken slowly began to pull the soul out. To transfer the soul to the container was difficult. Sweat began to form on his forehead. Something glowed as he tugged harder.

"The soul is resisting! Curse that priestess." Ken pulled harder. He finally got it out. Once the soul released the body of Kagome, Ken was slammed into a wall. Akira ran towards her brother.

"Aniki!" "Akira, hurry bring the container, NOW! This soul is a feisty one! I could barely keep my hold on it. HURRY!" Ken yelled as he struggled to keep the soul under his control. He pushed it into the container when Akira brought it. Akira slammed the cap shut. The soul didn't give up. It banged against the container hoping it would break. Desperately wanting to go back to the body. Knowing its attempts are futile it calmed.

Panting, Ken took a while to get his voice back. Speaking afterwards to his sister. "Now, Akira, you know what to do." "Hai." Akira ran out of their hideout with the soul in the container. Ken fell asleep. Resting his worn-out body from the transfer. "Our mistress will finally be free at last." While deep inside Kagome's body, a beast was coming out of its deep slumber.

AN: WOOOO I finally finished yet another chapter. So I need you guys to help me. Should Kagome be evil or good? The story is will be depending on your answer. :] Btw, any questions? If you are going to ask me "If Kagome's soul was taken out then why she still alive.? I will answer that here and now. Lets just say Kagome already had a soul.
