Kagome watched as Magnus made cocktails and smiled, shaking her head at him. She moved over to Luke and whipped the sweat off his forehead. Letting the two across from her enjoy their cocktails. She saw the way that Magnus looked at Alec and it made her smile, knowing that was one of the reasons why Magnus had made Alec come to the apartment, to help him with Luke. He wanted her to meet Alec. Pausing for a moment she started at the two. She had a feeling that Alec was exactly like how she is now. Closed off to protect the heart. A sly smile made its why on to her face; she had a feeling that Magnus would help him with that. Just like he had helped her all those years ago. And when Alec was comfortable with Magnus, she would make her move.

Unknown to Kagome, she had started to hum a soft song, as she attended to Luke. Drawing the attention of the men. Magnus let a soft smile grace his face at the sight of her before him, remembering a time when she had to hum that song to him. Alec started at Magnus for a moment and felt his heart drop at the look on Magnus's face as he looked at Kagome. He had known that his internist in him had not been real.

Kagome felt the shift in the air around Alec and sighed, her previous thoughts conformed by the way Alec's smile slightly dropped as he looked at Magnus. Who was to lost in thought to realize. Standing up she walked over to Alec and Magnus, knowing that she had to break Alec's train of thought before it ate away at him. Giving him a friendly smile she held out her hand, ignoring Magnus's raised brow at her.

"I do believe that we never really introduced ourselves, I met your knife but I didn't catch your name? I'll start, I'm Kagome. An old friend of Magnus."

Alec stared at her for a moment before taking her hand and shaking it, giving her a polite smile. "I'm Alexander Lightwood, and I'm sorry for the knife."

Kagome laughed before shaking her head and moving so she was standing in between Magnus and Alec throwing her arms around both men. "Ahh its okay you're not the first and you're definitely not going to be the last. Now boy's sit, talk. I'll make drinks." She gave a sly smile at Alec as she heard Magnus grown at her, and she could see that Alec was looking over her shoulder, she could only assume that Mangus was looking at him with wide eyes and shaking his head.

"Come know Mags are you still upset about that? I thought you'd be able to handle that drink,"

Magnus glared at her and sat down pulling Alec down with him.

"We will never talk about that."

Kagome tossed her head back and laughed. Alec couldn't help but smile at the two, his worries forgotten for the moment.


Kagome watched as Magnus pace the room, she knew the four Shadowhunters in the room where confused as to why he was acting like this. Magnus stopped and spun around to look at the shadow hunters. "No" they looked at him in shock, knowing that he had said he would help them before.

"What why? You said that you would help." Clary said as she made her way from where see was standing only to freeze in place at the look Magnus gave her. "I'm not doing it for me."

Giving a sigh she placed her glass down and stood up, walking over Magnus, and placed a hand on his face. "Don't go back on your word Mags. You said you'd help." her voice was soft, casing he others to question the two. Izzy took a glance at Alec and saw that he had a hard time keeping his eyes off of her and Magnus it made her smile. She was so going to make him realize his feelings.

"If you're not doing it for yourself then who Magnus?" Jace asked looking between the two.

Magnus ignored Jace in favour of focusing on Kagome, placing his hand on her shoulder the other moving to cup her cheek. "I've managed to keep you off Valentine's radar this long. I'm begging you to risk getting his attention, because if I help them, you will be."

The others were shocked at Magnus's confession; they knew that if he was begging, it was bad.

"So this is about Valentine then... I see... Do you want me to leave?"

"No you're staying right here where I can make sure he can't see you."

"You want me to hide then?"

"Yes"

"Mags you know that doesn't work for me I don't like hiding"

"Kagome please."

Giving a sigh she moved to back and nodded her head before staring at him. "But only if you help them."

Izzy smiled at the woman and knew that she was going to like her. "Magnus if it makes you feel any better, Alec and I can stay with Kagome here while you help." Kagome looked at Magnus with a smile knowing that he could not decline that offer. "Yes that would be good."

Kagome looked over at the others and gasped. "Oh I just realized that I've never formally introduced myself to you, I'm Kagome."

Magnus shook his head before flicking one of his fingers up to place it on his forehead, knowing that he was going to regret making her agree to hide, as long as she was able to at least. "Isabelle Lightwood, I go by Izzy tho. The blonde is Jace Wayland and the other one is Clary Fairchild. I'm guessing that you and Alec already covered this?"

Kaogme gave a sly smile as she dragged her eyes up Alec's frame as she draped herself on Magnus. "Oh yes, lovely time last night." She smiled at the way Jace throw a look over at Alec who just looked confused and shrugged his shoulders.

"Okay why the need to not kick her out? Why the need to Protect her?" Clary said looking at Kagome in question. Wincing slightly when she realized how her question would come across. She had not meant for it to come out that way. Magnus groaned he knew that he would be getting a headache soon.

"Because Valentine will want her if he catches wind of her."

"Why? Doesn't this fight involve her to? If she can fight why isn't she?"

"Because I have seen more, blood, killed, lived, lied, loved, lost, and been betrayed. Longer then you will ever know. I've seen horror's that would make Valentine cry for his mother. I'm a myth, a hope, a dream to some. And a nightmare and fear to others. Do not proceed to understand and condemn because I won't fight. Mine aren't being killed yet. If they are, well God help who ever cause's it. Your fight is not mine. The Clave has no hold over me. I'm lost in their records. Your mother once tried to get me to help; I told her long before any of this. To not trust the man she gave her heart to. I have made my bed and I have laid in it. It's your turn to make yours Shadowhunter."

Clary looked at the woman and sighed. "I'm sorry I didn't mean for it to sound like I was accusing you for anything." Kagome smiled at the girl, "I know, but you need to understand to avoid any future arguments."

The room was silent, no one knew what to say or if they should even break the silence. A groan sounded from the couch causing everyone to look over at Luke, whom they had forgotten was there.


Slowly pushing himself up, he looked around. "Careful Luke, you're not fully healed yet." Magnus said from beside Luke. Causing the man to look over at him and nod. Looking behind Magnus, he spotted Clary, and the Wayland and Lightwood kids. And someone he thought he would never see again.

"Kagome" he said in a breathless manner, causing everyone to look between him and Kagome. Kagome walked over to Luke and sat down on the table that was beside the couch, ignoring Magnus's voice of disapproval. "I thought I dreamed you humming last night, I guess I wasn't." Kagome gave a small laugh. "Nope."

Jace started to get more suspicious of the woman, and decided that he needs answers, moving before anyone could stop him he had his blade at her throat. Kagome looked at him with a bored look before sending a look over to Magnus, who sighed and threw his hands up. Kagome recognizing the message that action gave her smiled. Reaching up she grabbed the blade ignoring the pain of it biting into her hand, and the blood that ran down the blade. Standing up she pulled the blade hard enough, surprising Jace. When Jace got within range she shot out her other hand and disarmed him, taking the blade and putting against his neck. "Nice try boy, but your centuries too young to try." Raising the hand that had been but she moved her power into that hand to heal it. Kagome enjoyed the looks of shock on their faces when they saw the cut stitch itself back together. "You were in the Circle!" Jace spat.

His statement caused Luke and Magnus question him, while Kagome just raised her eyebrow. "And just how did you come to that conclusion." She said in a dull tone. Jace glared at her "Because you're not a Downworlder, and Valentine is after you." Kagome threw her head back and laughed. Magnus once again felt another headache come one.

"Jace, she was never part of the Circle." Luke spoke. Kagome smiled and pulled the blade back before throwing it in the air and catching it by the tip, holding the handle out for Jace to take.

"But she's a Shadowhunter right?" Clary asked. Kagome looked at Magnus and Luke giving them a questioning look. Both shook their heads at her, which caused her to sigh. 'Valentine has been after her since before he started the Circle. But I only met her when I was turned and living here, I still don't know how she knew Jocelyn before she came here. They never told me." Luke said

Magnus seeing that the room was quiet for a moment decided that he needed to kick them out, if he wanted to save himself from another headache. "Alright, everyone out but Alexander, you can stay. If you want, Luke can to, but the rest out." He made a shooing motion at them before glaring at them when they did not move. Seeing that they would not win, the three left. Kagome looked over at Luke before placing a hand on his forehead and closing her eyes. Moving her power through him, healing what needed to be healed. Opening her eyes she looked at him with understanding. Moving her hand off his forehead she placed it over his heart. "You'll need to heal this by yourself Luke; it is not within my power to do so. But I believe that if you tell her she just may tell you the same."

Luke nodded before looking at Magnus. "I can't stay, since I'm the new Alpha I have to go." Magnus nodded and saw him out, in the process lightly brushing his hand down Alec's arm as he passed. Kagome waved at Luke and sat down on the couch; looking at Alec she patted the set beside her
