Author's note:

Hey everyone! So after this chapter is posted, I won't be able to post anything after a couple of weeks. Since I'm still in college, I have things to do. I have two exams coming up in the next two weeks and I have a paper and a lab report to write. So I'm going to be pretty busy with school and work so I probably won't be able to post anything until the middle of March. I would like to say sorry for the inconvenience.

But I would also like to thank GirlFish for reviewing this story and I would also like to thank Shadowtalon62, Redder45, and SkyLion27 for following and supporting this story!


Kagome climbed out of the well and placed her backpack on the ground. She leaped out and breathed in fresh air as she glanced at the clear sky in the feudal era. She placed her backpack on her back and headed towards the village. Inuyasha and the others were staying at Kaede's place to rest for a few days. Kagome decided that it would be best to use her time to get some food and medicine from her home. She went inside Kaede's house and surprisingly found everyone asleep, including Inuyasha. She quietly set her backpack on the ground and walked outside into the garden where Kaede was picking herbs.

"Hello Kaede!" Kagome waved.

Kaede stopped and looked up to face Kagome. "Oh, welcome back Kagome. How was your journey?"

Kagome kneeled next to Kaede and helped pick herbs. "We still haven't found Naraku and we were able to collect a few more jewel shards."

Kaede gathered the rest of the herbs into a basket and stood up. "I must say I have never seen Inuyasha so exhausted in my entire life. Ye have overworked yourselves. I will set up arrangements for everyone to rest and recover for a couple of days." She left and headed towards her hut.

Seeing as there was nothing for her to do at the moment, Kagome decided to take a walk around the village while everyone else was still asleep. It was really rare for her to have time to herself in the feudal era. She was wandering around the village looking at the houses and the shops. Wondering what she should do she debated whether or not she should just return home. It didn't seem like a big deal since Inuyasha and the others will be here for a while. That sounded good. So it was decided then. She turned around and headed towards the well. As she made her way over to the well she felt strange. As if someone was watching her. When she turned around to see who was there she saw no one around. She shook it off and thought nothing of it as she jumped back in the well to her own time.

In the trees, looking down at the village Lobomon stood hidden in the branches watching the young girl head out of the village and into the forest. It's her. She's the one I've been searching for all this time. I must hurry for soon he will awaken. Lobomon continued to watch Kagome and as soon as she jumped through the well he went and searched for his other half.


Kikyou was walking down a path when she encountered a village up ahead. Lately there has been an uneasy feeling inside Kikyou for the past couple of days. But it wasn't a demonic aura that was causing it, whatever it was . . . it was large, evil, and dangerous. When Kikyou entered the village she found a shocking sight. Everyone was placing all their belongings into carts and were leaving the village in a hurry.

Kikyou walked into the shrine of the village and saw an old man, who was the caretaker of the shrine, also packing. The old man turned around and greeted the priestess.

"Hello there young priestess, How may I help you?"

Kikyou walked up to the old monk. "I don't mean to take up your time but could you tell me why everyone is leaving?"

The old man walked to the door and pointed to the eastern mountains. "Lately we've had a demonic aura that has been attracting other demons into this area and because of that, it is no longer safe near those mountains."

Kikyou gazed up at the mountains as the old man continued. "We've had monks go into the mountains but they returned claiming that the demon had some sort of barrier around it. Since more demons have begun to appear the monks said that it is best that we leave."

Kikyou turned towards the old man and bowed. "Thank you for your time." She turned in the direction of the eastern mountains and headed east.

The old man looked startled and called out to her. "Where are you going?"

Kikyou didn't bother turning around. "To put a stop to these demons."

She continued her way towards the mountains and entered a forest. Is this Naraku's work? If so, what does he intend to do once demons have gathered? And why is a demon that is attracting more demons have a barrier around it? But it couldn't be a demon. There is no demonic aura that I sensed that was powerful enough to overpower the other demons that it has lured in. What else could-?

She immediately turned towards the top of the trees where her sharp senses told her someone was watching her. She looked but no one was there. That's strange, I know I sensed someone up there. She then continued her way through the forest. She took one last look at the top of the trees, when no one was there she looked away and kept making her way through the forest.

Lowemon stood on the top of the shrine and watched as Kikyou walked through the forest. Lobomon appeared right behind him and placed a hand on Lowemon's shoulder.

"It is time."

Both Digimon disappeared and went after the two priestesses.


Kagome plopped on her bed and gave a huge sigh. "Well . . . I guess it's good to be home. Since Inuyasha and the others are asleep in Kaede's home, I might as well take a nap." As Kagome got comfortable and fell asleep, Lobomon appeared in front of her bedroom window and opened it. He carefully entered into her room and quietly landed on the floor. He turned towards the sleeping teenage girl and extended his hand towards Kagome. Kagome's body began to be absorbed in light and a feeling of warmth came as Kagome tossed and turned in her sleep.

Out of Lobomon's hand came the human and beast spirits of light. As the spirits were entering Kagome's body Lobomon whispered. "It is time that I give these to you."

Kagome immediately opened her eyes and turned towards the spot where Lobomon was standing. When there was no one there she looked towards the window that was open with the curtains fluttering from a light breeze. Kagome got up from her bed and walked over to the window. She spread the curtains and looked blankly at the open window. That was odd Kagome frowned as she could have sworn that window was closed when she went to bed.

She looked out the window in hopes of finding signs that Inuyasha had come to get her but she found nothing. She then sighed and closed the window. When the window was closed she looked into the reflection and noticed a glow coming from her neck. She looked down and saw that the jewel shards in her necklace were glowing in a very light pink color, almost white. She grabbed the jar and noticed the heat that the jewels gave.

"The shards. They're warm." Kagome then glanced at the clock and widened her eyes. She scrambled to the closet and began to change her clothes quickly.

"Oh no! How'd it get so late? Argh! Why didn't my alarm go off?" She looked at her alarm clock and noticed that the alarm wasn't even on. Someone turned it off while she was sleeping. She rushed down stairs and was quickly putting on her shoes when her mom came out of the kitchen and gave her a small plate of lunch.

"Oh mom?"

Kagome's mother looked down on Kagome and smiled. "What is it Kagome?"

Kagome took her lunch from her mother's hands and began to eat. "Do you know who went into my room and turned off my alarm clock?"

Her mother gave her a puzzled look. "No one. Your grandfather and Sota went out for a while and I've been in the kitchen making your lunch. Are you sure you turned it on?"

Kagome paused and nodded as she quickly finished her lunch. "Yes, I'm positive."

Her mother gave it a quick thought and then smiled. "Don't worry about it Kagome. I'll take a look at it."

Kagome smiled back. "Thanks mom." She placed her plate in the sink and headed out towards the shrine where the well was. Kagome's mother began to wash the plate with her thoughts still on the matter of Kagome's alarm clock. When Kagome was a child, she loved to wake up early in the morning and watch the birds eat off the bird feeders that they had around their house. But sometimes Kagome would be so tired that her alarm would go off for a long time before it woke her up. There was only one person who she could think of that would go in her room and purposely turn off the alarm in order to let Kagome sleep.

Kagome's mother shook her head. "No. It couldn't be. It . . . it just can't be." She then turned and looked longingly upstairs where Kagome's bedroom was. "Can it?"


Kikyou was lying in a tree while her soul collectors were gathering souls and placing them in her body. Lowemon walked towards Kikyou as she slept. When he got close enough to the tree, he extended his hand towards Kikyou and the human and beast spirits of darkness came out of his hand and into her body. As they entered her, Kikyo's body began to be embedded in darkness.

Lowemon slowly began to back away. "Soon . . . the time will come for you to use these."

As he disappeared Kikyou woke up with a warm pulse in her chest. She reached her hand to her chest and felt the warm pulse feeling that she hasn't felt since before her death when she had a body of flesh and blood. It feels . . . warm. She turned and looked into the direction that Lowemon disappeared.


Back in the Digital world, the three Celestial Digimon were watching the human world and noticed an opening between the two worlds was forming in the place where many demons were gathering.

Ophanimon and Seraphimon looked at each other with uneasiness as Cherubimon sent for their messenger Gotsumon. Ophanimon looked at those demons with worry. "What are we going to do? Who could have caused all this?"

"If this keeps up a gate will open and the two worlds will collide together." Said Cherubimon.

"And that will bring chaos to both our worlds. We need to send Digimon to stop it." Seraphimon pointed out.

Gotsumon huffed as he rushed inside the room where the Celestial Digimon were having a discussion. He entered the room and kneeled down on one knee. "I have gathered several warrior Digimon like you've asked me to. What are your orders?"

Cherubimon looked at the other two and they nodded in agreement. He then turned to Gotsumon, "Go through the gate and stop those creatures by any means necessary. The survival of both our worlds depends on it."

Gotsumon nodded and left to give the message. As he left, Bokomon came into the room with a worried look on his face. Seraphimon turned to Bokomon. "Bokomon what is the matter?"

Bokomon gave a screech as he quickly announced. "IT'S TERRIBLE! I CAN'T FIND LOBOMON OR LOWEMON ANYWHERE! THE OTHER LEGENDARY WARRIORS ARE PRESENT AND READY TO GO THROUGH THE GATE BUT WE CAN'T GO WITHOUT THE SPIRITS OF LIGHT AND DARKNESS! WHAT DO WE DO?"

Seraphimon raised his hand. "Calm down Bokomon. I'm sure there is an explanation for all of this. Now go tell the other warriors to go ahead and follow the other Digimon to stop those creatures. Don't worry about the light and dark warriors, we will find them."

Bokomon quickly nodded and ran out of the room. Ophanimon turned to Seraphimon. "Will we be able to find them?"

Seraphimon nodded. "Of course we will. Plus I have reason to believe that those two are already in the human world."

"Are they dealing with the gate as we speak?"

Seraphimon shook his head. "I'm afraid I don't know but if they are the same as I remember them than I know they have a plan. I just hope they can help both worlds before it's too late."
