Bloody Rose

Summary: She was a delicate rose with the protection of thorns. There were two sides to her. A light and dark side to herself. A pure white rose tainted in the red blood of her enemies. When a dark storm comes in to her life will she survive the harsh winter or wither away trying?

What the summary basically says is: She (Kagome) was a delicate rose with the protection of thorns (all her friends). There were two sides to her (meaning she is kind at times but can also be the meanest person in the world). A light and dark side to herself (she has pure and dark powers within her). A pure white rose (pure soul) tainted in the red blood of her enemies (people will try to taint her). When a dark storm (bad things) come in to her life will she survive the harsh winter (bad events happening one by one) or wither away trying (die/kill herself due to emotional stress)?

Chapter Two:

Introductions and Chaos

In a flash of sparkling silver light five people appeared in the Tsukikage's office. As the two Tsuki-nin and five Konoha-nin arrived they saw that others were already there. Three men and a young boy were already in there. They all varied in ages and height. From tall to small and young to old.

The youngest (and shortest) of the four had auburn hair resembling the color of autumn that was tied in a high pony tail by an aqua ribbon. His own emerald eyes shone with happiness and love that sparkled with unshed tears. A slow but steady smile appearing on his face.

He had a dark green long sleeve shirt with a silver crescent moon on the back of his shirt. He wore a plain black vest that had six pockets -three on each side- on it. The boy also had black shorts that reached a bit past his knees. Black shinobi sandals covered his feet.

The boy also seemed to carry weapons on himself. He had a small dark blue katana with a silver hilt. In silver writing it said 'Heaven's Illusions'. Smaller aqua- almost transparent -illusionary items were drawn across the sword as well.

Such items included flying tops, crying acorns, wailing mushrooms, flames, wooden toy snakes, huge eyed statues, and much more. On the tip of the hilt was a blue flame that seemed to almost glow. He also had a kunai pouch on his left leg.

He also had some features that just screamed to be non-human. Although, they weren't ones to judge because Konoha also had their own animalistic clan. Fangs that reminded one of a real fox or any animal with pointy teeth. Sharp claws that could probably rip through a lot of different materials that regular dull nails couldn't.

Those were his only features that set him apart from regular humans. The civilians were very different from him or even the shinobi with animal like traits couldn't compare to him because of the strange feeling that he emitted.

Watery emerald eyes met kind, loving sapphire eyes in light shock. The shock quickly turned into various happier emotions. He quickly threw himself on her with a shockingly surprising (to the leaf-nin at least) cry of "Nee-chan!" The rest watched the tender scene between the siblings. Kagome caught him in her arms. Her smile never leaving her face instead growing wider at the sight of him.

Her eyes gained a loving and gentle look in them when she looked at the small boy. "Kagome-nee-chan! Yo-you're really back!" yelled the tearful seven year old. He hugged her tightly almost afraid to let go.

"Hai (yes), hai of course otouto (little brother). I told you I'd be back didn't I Shippou-chan? Did ya forget or did InuYasha say something mean to you?" asked Kagome holding him to her hip as she sent a glare to the youngest silver haired guy.

"Y-yes he did! But you also took a long time nee-chan." said Shippo while slightly wiping away his tears. Kagome only gave him a chuckle in response while smiling gently at him.

"Keh. Can you two keep it down with the water works," scowled the second youngest. He had waist length silver hair that was considered very long to any one of the male species. His amber eyes held annoyance and irritation but on closer inspection you would see happiness and with a bit of excitement. He was currently in front of the Tsukikage's desk. He leaned on it while crossing his arms. He seemed to have the typical bad boy look that many girls loved these days.

He had a red kimono made from the fire rat. It almost covered his entire body. The sleeves were long and big enough to fit his hands inside of. The top only left a hint of the white (thing) he wore underneath. His red hamaka's (pants) covered every inch of his legs stopping only at his ankles. On his feet were shinobi sandals. (The only thing he would wear.) On his right upper arm was his hiate-ate. It was black with a crescent moon on the metal plate.

Around his neck were two necklaces. One necklace reminded him that he had to be a 'good' and 'nice' wittle 'puppy' or else he got grounded. Literally too. It had blue and purple beads with some white fangs tossed in. Gah how he hated the rosary beads. The other reminded him of his caring family. It was a golden circle shaped pendant with two pictures in it. One was of his whole family inside. The other however held only him and his mother smiling.

On his right leg was a kunai holster. On his waist was a rusty looking sword that in actuality was very powerful once awakened. He like most of the males in the room had claws as well. His sharp dog-like teeth were very sharp and pointy.

Another glare was sent his way instead of anything that resembled love like Shippou experienced. "Oh InuYasha-kun~, Shippou-chan said that you were trying to tell him I wasn't coming. Is it that true?" asked Kagome in a sickly sugar coated voice while cocking her head to the side. She looked at him with a look of 'love' but underlying that love was anger and oh look more anger.

InuYasha took a look at her 'angelic' face and gulped after hearing her tone of voice. Hell hath no fury like a woman's scorn. Once again he was going to learn the saying the hard way. "U-um-umm... Y-yes?" he stammered out feeling very uncomfortable at the moment. He knew better than to lie to her but he also knew not to mess with Shippou while she was gone. Especially if he made the kid cry the slightest amount. It just meant more pain for the poor silver haired teenager.

The glare came back twice fold but disappeared as soon as it came. A gentle loving smile tugged at her lips as she closed her eyes faking a caring face perfectly. One could say it was the spitting image of a devil disguised as an angel or a wolf dressed as a lamb. Either worked as a rather fine description of her.

"~Oh Puppy~" was how she started in a sing song voice. Anyone and everyone who knew what that meant either flinched at her tone or stared in amusement. Those who didn't, however, quickly learned what it meant.

"Puppy would you like to sit (CRASH) on the floor or sit (BAM) in a chair? How about you Blondie? Minato would you like to sit (SMACK) on that chair or sit (BANG) on those cushions over there? You sensie? Where do ya wanna sit (BANG) down? Jiraiya-sensie would you like to sit (CRASH) here or sit (SMACK) there? You guys can sit (BAM) anywhere."

By the end of her miniature speech the Tsuki-nin were in crying of laughter and trying to gasp for air while the Konoha-nin watched in confusion as the necklace around InuYasha's neck glowed as it sent him crashing into the ground every time she said sit.

InuYasha was now the proud owner of many minor cuts, a eight foot deep InuYasha-shaped hole, a sore body, and to top it off three bumps on his head. His eyes quickly became swirly as he lay twitching on the floor. No one made a move to help him out of his crater. They only laughed harder at him instead of helping or being remotely interested for his well being. Such a great, caring, and lovely family he had, ne?

"Hn. So this is your team imouto. The Toad Sage and The Yellow Flash? Quite formidable allies you have there Bloody Rose. I do hope you haven't been lacking your sword practice." stated the second eldest. He had silky silver hair that almost reached the floor only stopping at his ankle. Piercing amber eyes glanced at her. Hidden amusement within them after watching the little 'show'.

He had that regal look to him. He had white hamaka's that matched his white (top part of kimono). Red sakura petals danced along the ends of his sleeves of it. It was stainless showing he didn't like to be messy or disordered. It also showed he was a perfectionist. He also had a yellow obi tied around his waist. On the obi were two swords. He also had spiky silver armor on top of his elegant kimono. It screamed death to all huggers. His feet were covered by a pair of black boots. On his right leg was a kunai holster as well.

Like most of the males he also had animal like traits to himself as well. Adorning his hands were long claws that glistened in the sunlight. Fangs dwelled inside the cavern know as his mouth.

"Of course dear nii-san. I practiced with it every day when I could. Who do you take me for Sesshomaru? InuYasha? Che. Of course not," said Kagome playfully scoffing at the end just to mess with her older brothers. Sesshomaru only gave a dangerous smirk while taking one of his swords out from its resting place. Her teammates grew tense and rigid thinking of betrayal. Seeing this Kagome gave them a sign to back down while glaring at her eldest brother.

Jiraiya only nodded watching threw narrowed eyes. Minato on the other hand tried to rush in only to be stopped by his sensie. Jiraiya shook his head. Minato nodded but like his sensie watched them with a glare. Both of their hands lied near their weapons though. Taking out her own sword she parried against Sesshomaru's katana.

The three foot tall sword was a work of art itself. A long thorn filled vine could be found wrapping itself around the blade ending with a delicate looking rose. The hilt was a dark raven color with red seeping into it from the bottom reminding her of the blood that has been shed with the very sword. It looked as if blood had been dried there and never came off.

Each blow was parried as Kagome struggled to get the upper hand. Beads of sweat ran down her face as a troubled look spread across her face. Sesshomaru however let no emotion betray his face as he struck her with amazing speed. Everyone just watched amazed of her new strength. Sure in the past she could keep up but Kagome could almost never land a good blow on him. Now she was even starting to gain control over the fight.

Dodge. Jump. Kick. Strike. Dodge. Dodge. Strike. Strike. Jump. Dodge. Strike.

These were the movements Kagome took in order to survive and not have her head or any other of her precious limbs separated from her body. Finally after what seemed forever to herself even though it was only seven minutes. Kagome managed to fling Sesshomaru's sword away from him with a quick yet strong flick of her wrist.

It ended up getting stuck on a wall. Now mostly everyone watched in shock as Kagome stood there panting with a triumph smirk as she pointed the tip of her blade onto Sesshomaru's neck. Sweat covered her face as her breathes came out in loud uneven pants.

Sesshomaru gave her a nod of the head to show he surrendered. It also showed his approval of her skills. "Hn. Impressive." was all he said before retrieving his sword from its place on the wall.

"Why thank dear brother for your generous wisdom filled words." replied Kagome rolling her eyes with a mock bow.

Sesshomaru sent her an icy glare when she bowed as the rest of the Tsuki-nin hid their laughs and giggles. Well all except their Kage. He openly chuckled at his sons misfortunate luck. All heads turned to face him at the sound of his voice.

"So you wanted to talk to me lil' Kaggy-chan? Sarutobi-san told me you and your team would come," stated the Kage. Like his polar opposite sons he had silver hair. His however was in a high pony tail that brushed against his shoulder blades making it past his back. Piercing amber eyes stared at Team Seven. Amusement was evident in his amber orbs like his ninja.

In many ways he was a mixture of his two sons. His kimono however was different. It was still that pure looking white yet on his sleeves instead of there being sakura blossoms there were dark blue hexagons at the tips of his sleeves. He also had white hamakas covering his masculine legs. A dark blue obi held them up. An ominous looking sword that somehow had killer intent leaking from it was tied onto the obi. Armor was securely strapped onto his upper body. Like Sesshomaru he too had black boots. He seemed to carry ninja weapons as well as demon weapons and items. A kunai pouch was tied onto his right leg holding kunai, sebon, and shiruken.

Sharp canine fangs were revealed when he chuckled letting them see just how pointy it was. Clawed hands skimmed the surface of his desk slightly leaving marks in hopes of trying to control his laughter. Not that he could.

"Yes. Tsukikage-sama.-"

"Kagome-chan what did I tell you to call me? I told you that you could call me that," said the older man in a stern yet soft voice.

"Yeah. Hehehe. Sorry about that. Seems like I forgot... again. Gomen Otou-san (father)," she admitted sheepishly with a nervous laugh.

"He's your father?" yelped the shocked leaf-nin.

Kagome had a family? When did this happen? Kagome was a Higurashi which was a clan in Konoha not in the Village Hidden in the Moon! Unless one of her family members was very before her. But that would be impossible. Right? Especially after the clan was... There was just no way.

"Well not really but I consider him as such. We're not related by birth but through a blood-bond adoption. My real name should be Kagome Sakura Higurashi-Tashio. Heh, what a mouth full," explained Kagome with a slight nervous giggle. The leaf-nin calmed down and nodded.

"Onee-chan who are they?" asked Shippou curiously pointing to her two fellow ninja. "Oh yeah. I forgot to introduce everyone. Gomen. Ok how about we start with Tsuki and end with Konoha?" asked Kagome looking at the rest for approval. The rest nodded accepting that.

"Sesshoumaru Tashio." Was all he said, more like declared, before going mute once more.

"Keh. Teme. The name's InuYasha Tashio. Yeah, yeah and the teme-sama over there is my older half-brother," scowled the hot headed teenager stubbornly.

"Hello! My name is Shippo Kurama Higurashi-Tashio. And I'm my onee-chan's adopted younger brother!" exclaimed the youngest with a bright grin.

"You already know our names," said Sango gesturing to Miroku and herself.

"Well as you know I'm the Tsukikage of Tsuki No Kuni. My name is Inutashio Tashio. And yes it may seem weird. Unfortunately I'm the father of five children," said their Kage with a chuckle.

"Pleasure to meet you. I'm Jiraiya one of the three great sannin. Toad Sage to be exact. I'm Kagome's sensie," said the perverted senin puffing his chest proudly at his title.

"Heh. I'm Minato Namikaze. In battle I'm known as the Yellow Flash of Konoha. I'm Rose's teammate as well as friend," introduced the blonde using his teammate's nickname.

"Well now that we have all introduced ourselves why was your squad sent here for? Not that I'm complaining but Sarutobi-san never specified the reason," asked Inutashio raising an elegant silver eye brow. Seemed like there were a lot of secrets these days with the wars going on.

"Well Konohagakure wants to ally with Tsuki. Our Hokage sent my team here because you were familiar with my student. Sarutobi-sensie thought that we were better qualified for this mission and could take care of ourselves," explained Jiraiya with a serious face for once. His eyes flickered to Kagome while he mentioned her name in their conversation.

"Hm. Ally with Konoha, eh? I would agree right away but I can't. I have to ask the elders of our village. To do that I have to round them up," said Inutashio with a hint of a smile. The elders were all different. Instead of living close to the tower they lived in different places and away from each other. Shows how much they got along.

"You guys have elders here too?" asked Minato curiously. He knew that most hidden villages had them but not much was known about Tsukigakure so that just made him all the more curious. almost no one has been to the city itself but those who had claimed it to be very mysterious.

Inutashio nodded. Maybe they should give the Konohagakure-nin some simple information about Tsuki later. "No duh. Doesn't Konoha have those retards for elders?" asked InuYasha rolling his amber eyes. Those Konoha elders really were dumb. Instead of helping out their on village they only made it worse and dreadful.

"InuYasha-nii! Be nice to Minato! Besides it's not Konoha's fault we have bad elders!" scolded Kagome. She had her left hand on her hip while her right hand pointed at him. A glare was firmly set on her face.

"Sorry about him Minato-kun. We'll have a meeting tomorrow about it. For the rest of your residence here you can stay in Gome's old home. It is a bit dusty but you can still live in it. You do remember where it is right Kaggy-chan?" asked Inutashio with a smile. When she left the group she built had disbanded from the house and lived at their own houses. There would be a lot of cleaning involved if they were going to live there.

"Of course I do Otou-san. Keh. I remember that we all used to live in that mansion we built. Back with Team Shikon," said Kagome smiling fondly. Memories seemingly tantalized her mind with the good times she had there.

"Yeah. Those were the good days," sighed Sango. Her eyes showed happiness yet at the same time sadness. Both emotions fighting for dominance within her hazel eyes.

"Ah, yes the good times. How I missed those days," said Miroku adding his two cents to the conversation being held. A goofy smile started to appear on his face as well as a small but noticeable perverted blush.

"Shut up Miroku! You made everything worse!" screamed Sango momentarily forgetting her conflicting emotions.

"Especially with your 'cursed' hand!" shouted Kagone agreeing with Sango. He really didn't know when to keep his hands to himself.

'Maybe we should just cut his hands off.' were the evil thoughts of the two kunouchi. Both girls then slapped him on both his cheeks. Two twin loud smacking noises rang throughout the large office. Miroku's cheeks both started to glow red with a hint of purple as the shape on a red hand print was found on both cheek.

"Hn. The academy will be letting out soon monk and slayer," said Sesshoumaru scaring most of the people there. They had forgotten he was even there with all the commotion.

"O-oh. Right I almost forgot. Th-thank you for reminding me Sesshoumaru-sama," said Sango heading for the door while dragging Miroku with her by his ear. She already seemed to forget her an earlier agruement with said man.

"Hey Sango bring the little squirts to my house in two hours. I want to surprise them. Just tell them it's a surprise if they ask," said Kagome smirking. The two nodded with identical smirks of mischief. They teleported away after saying goodbye along with Sesshoumaru to pick up the children.

"Hey! Speaking of the academy weren't you supposed to be at the academy Shippo-chan?" asked Kagome whirling around to meet him.

Shippo panicked when their eyes met. His onee-chan could sure be scary when she wanted to! "Well...! A-ano! De-demo! I wanted to see you onee-chan!" whined the young ninja in training.

"No buts mister! Go with Sango and them! We're going have a nice little chat after you come," scolded Kagome frowning at him.

"But onee-chan I heard you were coming so I did too!" argued Shippo weakly trying to save himself. He sent her a teary puppy err.. fox eyes with a pinch of sad and tea spoon of cuteness.

"That's not an excuse for ditching Shippo. Now go with them and tell Tsubasa-senpai I said that I'll talk to him tomorrow to see how you're doing in the academy," said Kagome while crossing her arms. Really, he shouldn't be ditching unless it was an emergency.

"Hai onee-chan," muttered Shippou dejectedly. He put his head down while crossing his own arms. He shivered remembering the last time she gave him a lecture on anything. He was gone in a whirlwind of leaves.

'Kagome has a family? Yosh! Let's see Inutashio-sama said he had five children. There was four here so only one left to meet. I wonder how the last one will be like. InuYasha-san looked to be hot headed and brash, Sesshomaru-san was cold and calculating, Shippou-kun was hyper and energetic, and Kagome is sorta like a mixture of the three,' thought Minato analyzing the strange family.

'Hm. Seems that my student is more powerful than I originally thought. I wonder if the Tsuki-nin will train with us. I certainly would like to see their power. Especially their jutsu. Maybe if I'm lucky. I will get some ideas for the book I've been wanting to publish. Heh, heh,' thought Jiraiya with a slight blush.

"InuYasha-nii can you bring the flea bag, the wind witch, the two of the seven retards, my kit, your girlfriend, the white emo, and the sadist to the house?" asked Kagome recalling the nicknames InuYasha used for them with a grin.

"Yeah, yeah. Keh, I'll be there in a hour. Have the place ready be then," said InuYasha with a scowl at the mention of the names before leaving. His face seemed to be set in a scowl after hearing the names of the people.

"Ok thank you Inu-nii! Be sure to get there in a hour! Try not to get killed or kill anyone on the way here either. Not late or early! Dress nice," reminded the black haired teenager. InuYasha rolled his eyes but nodded anyways before disappearing in a puff of smoke.

"Be safe Kaggy-chan," reminded Inutashio grinning at his oldest daughter.

"Yeah, yeah. You make it sound like I'll get kidnapped or something Otou-san," commented Kagome while heading towards her team. She rolled her blue orbs at her father's words.

"With your horrible luck it's all possible Kagome," replied the Tsukikage with a small smirk. He started to remember all her comical bad luck that she seemed to carry around.

"Hmph. Whatever Otou-san," retorted Kagome as a blush settled on her face. She suddenly had a great urge to scowl at her father but held back. Instead, she opted to stick her tongue out at him once more before leaving. The young kunouchi proceeded to grab her confused teammates and teleported out of her father's office. What she didn't catch however was her father's warning.

"Just be careful. He's on the run again."

XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX

"Just you wait my darling miko. I'll put you back in your cage. Where you belong."

XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX

"Welcome to my house guys!" declared Kagome when they arrived at her place.

"Wow. That's a huge house Kagome! Did you and your friends do the painting on the walls?" asked Minato looking around the outside of her house.

"They're beautifully crafted too. Did you build it yourself?" inquired Jiraiya curiously.

"Yup. Me and my mix-matched Team Shikon." replied Kagome affectionately while looking around too.

XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX

"He's back after his 'death'. He's recruited new demons and ninja alike."

XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX

"Heh, heh. You want me to destroy that wench right?"

"Yes. I want you to work with two demons to bring her down. Curse her to her death because she made you what you are now. A kuro miko."

"Should I go too?"

"Of course you should! This will surprise her even more seeing as you were her fellow shinobi and friend."

XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX

On the walls were pictures of people. Each person was doing a different thing. There were currently fifteen people on the walls. They had only met eight from those fifteen. The picture portrayed amusement and much comedy.

XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX

"And he's still after you and the cursed jewel. He'll never give up until you truly kill him."

XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX

"This time do not fail me you four. Unless you've killed her then don't come back at all."

"Yes master."

"But what do we do if someone else intercepts?"

"Oh don't worry about that. She will make sure no one else is involved. This is after all her battle."

XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX

Picture Kagome was having a glaring contest with picture Sesshomaru as they seemed to growl at each other with bared fangs. Both of them were getting ready to draw their swords from their resting spots. Their hair was dyed different colors. Sesshomaru's was now a sickly blinding pink color while Kagome's was a hideously pale yellow. A small silver fox was at her feet growling at Sesshomaru.

Picture InuYasha was riding on some type of floating serpents. He looked frightened with a green-ish tint to his face and about to fall over. A woman that strangely resembled Kagome but had doe brown eyes seemed to laugh at him from her own serpent.

Another strange woman seemed to float on a giant white feather while dodging attacks from a wolf looking guy. She looked to be teasing him yet very irritated at the same time. The wolf guy looked like he was trying to either beat her up or get on her feather. He looked provoked and irritated.

Picture Shippou looked to be playing tag with a slightly older boy and a girl his age. The boy looked to be chasing Shippou and the girl with a smirk on his face. The girl's face shown mischievous yet looked like she was innocent. Picture Inutashio looked to be happily eating some type of food. His food however seemed like it was trying to jump out of his firm grip.

A lavender haired boy was trying to escape the rest of the group while a pale skinned emotionless girl dragged him back. The boy looked like he might have been pouting but it wasn't really clear because his face started to form an annoyed scowl. The emotionless child gave a hint of exasperation and a shake of her head while dragging him back.

Picture Sango looked to be slapping picture Miroku who seemed to be in intense pain. A small strange two tailed kitten watched almost looking irritated like the picture Sango.

XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX

"This time however he has one of your dear loved ones within his grasps. Your barrier can only hold out for so long. Your energy level drops every day too."

XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX

"Why would she do that? She knows that can't take all four of us down at once?"

"Because she know we have him."

"You mean that eight year old brat?"

"Are you talking about the same one I'm thinking about?"

"Oh, you mean him. The one who's in that blue barrier in that house?"

"Yes him. Kagome-chan's innocent little brother. Souta."

XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX

"It's only a matter of time before he comes to take you as well. Stay on your guard and be careful. Kagome."

XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX

The green grass seemed to last forever as Kagome opened the door. "Welcome to my humble home," she announced bowing playfully. "Wow. This place sure is dusty," said Minato sweat dropping as he looked around.

"Okay we'll need team work to clean this up in time. Minato you take the left side and Kagome take the right," instructed Jiraiya lazily with a wave of his hand.

"Oi! What will you do sensie?" asked Kagome and Minato irritated by his actions. "I'm supervising!" declared Jiraiya with a cheeky grin.

"Whoever doesn't help clean gets no food," spoke Kagome heading in with Minato trailing after her.

"Too bad you're getting nothing sensie," said Minato hiding his smirk. It was only a matter of time now...

"What a darn shame," said Kagome smirking.

"While you two do the sides I'll do the middle. Like I said before team work!" said Jiraiya with new found determination as well as inspiration. "Glad you're joining us," said Kagome and Minato with a smirk of their own.

"Of course. We would be so lost without the help of sensie, ne?" asked Minato a nod of his head inwardly rolling his eyes.

"Enough chit chat you two! We have a house to clean!"

A/N: So how did you like it? I know not my best but I couldn't think of a way to end the chapter. Then I thought how about I end it with a mysterious yet shocking cliff hanger. It was perfect! But then i noticed that I didn't write as much as my last chapter so I added the comical stuff in. I just don't like stories to be all serious. I know when they have to get serious though. I just don't like it. Anyways on to better matters. On the next chappie all the new people will come out to play. *grins* =] And the fun begins. Mwahahaha! LOL

Sorry about Souta! I didn't really want any of Kagome's family to be alive or for her to have any. But the story needed a new twist that would leave you in shock. I also needed something mysterious to write. So then I was all like "To heck with it!" Thus Souta came into the story. As to where he is located and with whom will be explained in time. I'm pretty sure some of you can guess who some of the people where though.

Bonus Question!: Can anyone guess who the people Kagome named off were? They're all InuYasha characters. I even gave you a HUGE hint on the picture thing too! Well except for the kit. He's just an OC. Just to make it more fun though can any of you guess the name for the kit or his type (dark, silver, ice, fire, ect.) Closest one will get the next lovely chapter dedicated to them! Well laterz I gotta go! Till the next chappie my lovely fans!
