A/n

Gals and gentlemen I was wondering if my fans for this story would like Kagome to run the Labyrith? Not sure if I want her to.

If you want her to let me know.

All up to the reviews I get…. Thanks

And also I went back through the first two chapter to see if I could fix some of the mistakes and I did fix what I could see and I would like to say thanks for the help for pointing it out to me in the reviews. I also changed a few things in it so hopefully you go back to reread it.

If anyone would be interested to being the beta for this story it would be great. Really need one.

PM if you want to talk... Thanks again.

Finding Love in a King

Chapter 3

Lost In The Past

Searching for something that may never be known,
mental disturbance turns a heart back to stone.

Create memories alone in your head,
holding you hostage as you lay in your bed.

Fits of despair have blinded your sight,
awaken to find you are losing the fight.

Rays of sunlight lead the way,
hurts from the past only keep you away.

Deception has caused your faith to stray,
simple gestures are life's way to say...

Release the burden that's wanted your stay,
crumble your thoughts and throw them away.

Discover a strength to start a new page,
no longer alone slipped from the cage.

Bruised and broken you now can see
a glimpse of hope that may set your free.

Sunlight glittered from the window straight in Kagome's closed eyes, ocean blue eyes blinked opened more than a little confused, her gaze went first to see where the light was coming from. Kagome's eyebrow rose up when she saw people rushing back in forth past the window of the book store. Moving her gaze from the big window, realizing she was still in the front area of the store. Looking down at where she was sleeping, frowning a little bit befuddled on how she ended up sleeping on such a small little love seat. She slowly rose from her awkward position of being curled up in a tight ball. The blanket that was wrapped around her falling to the floor, she then forced herself to sit up and try to get her bearings. Shaking her head, she stood up and stretched hoping it would help wake her up.

Kami, she needed coffee or some tea. A yarn came from her opened mouth; Kagome didn't practically care what it was as long as it woke her up.

Rubbing her eyes, Kagome slowly looked around to see if she spotted the old women that allowed her to stay there so she could by past the storm the night before. She slowly moved to the back of the store to see if the old women were there.

"Hello, Ms. Kiki?" Kagome called out.

Frowning, trying to figure out where the old women went off to. She turned around to see if she could find her between the book shelves. Hopefully she didn't leave, she at least wanted to say thanks before she took off to head back home to her apartment. She started walking in-between the shelves. Looking at the dust that appeared to be on the shelving and the books, her eyebrow hitched up, wondering on why the sweet old women wasn't dusting the place.

"Here it is." A trumped voice said with glee.

Kagome blinked shocked, it sounded like the old woman. Peaking around one of the corners to see if it was her. Kagome frowned, watching the old woman try to lift several boxes that looked heavy. Kagome moved around the corner hoping that she could help her before she hurt herself.

"Here let me take that before you drop it." Kagome said kindly.

Kiki smiled in thanks, at the young lady. "Thank you dear."

Grabbing the boxes Kagome smiled, "Where do you want me to put it?"

"Just over there would be fine." Kagome turned and saw a small table in the corner where the old woman indicated at with a wave of her hand. She moved over to sit the stuff down, now glad that was done she turned to Kiki with a smile on her face. "Hay I want to thank you for the night before with the storm but I really do need to head on home."

"Of course, but would you like to stay for breakfast before you head out?" Kiki said with a sweet smile on her face.

Kagome blinked, "Hum. Sure, if you don't mind. That is."

"Great, give me just a minute and all see about making use some breakfast." The old woman smiled much bigger at the younger girl. Kagome frowned, that smile, those dimples, even the dark, very dark brown hues reminded her of a fleeting memory from so, so long ago. A past she tried so hard to forget, tears sparkled in her tired eyes. Turning her head so the older woman wouldn't see. She forced herself not to run out of the room to get away from the woman. Why now? Why was she having flash backs now? It didn't make sense, nothing did, at least not anymore. As she turned away she didn't see the pain that reflected in Kiki's eyes at the tears she saw in Kagome's.

The memory of a woman that had more coldness and strength then anyone she's ever known, that was drabbed in miko clothing flashed through her mind's eye. Tears gathered more in her eyes thinking about the older miko. That smile, she once saw it before. It was the day she died, like she accepted it with opened arms. Ready for the peace, that only death could truly bring her. (Oh, Kikyou.)

"I'll wait in the kitchen for you." Kagome hurried away. What's wrong with her? For three years she begged the Kami's for signs that some of her family still lived. she thought that she would at least be able to see her demon family but none showed up. Moving to sit in one of the table chairs, she slumped in it. Sorrow darkening eyes stared at her clenched hands that resided on the table. She took a deep breath, then she forced her memory's and the anguished pain that came with them as far down inside her, as she could get it. She then plastid a fake smile on her face so Kiki wouldn't see that there was something wrong with her.

"I'll go ahead and start the food dear. If you want your clothes are done, you could go ahead and change if you want." Kiki said walking through the door.

Kagome nodded and rose from where she was sitting and moved to get her clothing then she move to the bathroom. Changing back into her uniform, she scowled at her image while looking in the bathroom mirror. Blinking at herself she slowly leaned closer to it and stiffened up when she saw silver going through her hair. Her eyes widened in disbelief. She raised her hand to the silver strand, gently tracing it, the tears she fought so hard from escaping started to fall. Shaking her head, she started calling her miko Ki. Her eyes started swirling until pink bled into the bright blue of her eyries. Watching how the silver slowly turned back to ebony she silently wondered on how Kiki didn't notice the silver strand of hair that fell in her face when she was helping her.

Slumping against the sink weakly, Kagome sighed. She didn't know how long she could keep doing this. Every time she had to use her energy it made her feel weaker and now it was starting to hurt when she does uses her power.

Shaking the cobwebs from her mind, she forced herself up once more glancing in the mirror just to make sure, she nodded to herself as she turned to walk back out the door towards the kitchen area. "Ms. Kiki, I should go on home before it gets too late."

"Nonsense Kagome, breakfast is done. Just something simple, eggs and toast." Kiki smiled once more. Kagome hesitated, she was starting to wonder if all Kiki ever did was smile and be pushy to people she really didn't know. "and I also got coffee." Kami, if anything the woman won her just by saying the c word. She gave another sigh, then she nodded. Then she set down to eat and drink her heavily coffee that Kiki set before her.

After eating, Kagome pushed back from the table then forced a smile on her face, "I should really be heading out mam."

"Of course, do come back. It's been a long time since I had such wonderful company." Kiki said with another smile.

Kagome forced herself to smile bigger for the old woman. "Thanks again, I'll just grab my purse and head on out."

Getting up she moved back to where she was sleeping to grab her things and to fold the blanket and lay it back to where she found it on the love seat. As she grabbed it; a thump echoed around the silent room, she glanced down and blinked in shock. She bent down to pick up the little red book that she found last night. She never even had the chance to start reading it the night before because the magic that surrounded it was comforting in itself. It lured her to a sound sleep with its gentle melody of magic and power. Kagome felt like she was coming home as she held the book last night. Frowning, Kagome slowly opened it.

"Now that's a classic."

Kagome flushed, closing the book horridly. Realizing she was so focused on the book she didn't even sense Kiki's aura. Raising her eyes, she locked them with deep brown.

Kiki smiled amused watching the young woman, "That book I've had it for quite some time." Her smile became bigger, "Tell you what, how about you take it home with you."

"It most coast a small fortune. I can't... I mean this book; it looks very old." Kagome's flushed face darkened.

Kiki smiled widened, "How about this, you take it home with you and when your done reading it you can bring it back. So at least that way, you would at least come back to visit an old lady who might need some company."

"If you're sure mam. I would love to." Kagome said quickly, not wanting to push her luck by saying no.

Kiki smiled at her then nodded, watching the younger woman rush out of her book store, her smile slowly dropped off her face. Her wrinkled face then started smoothing out until there was nothing left but smooth soft skin and pitch ebony straight hair that was no longer streaked with gray, and dark brown eyes that glittered in the morning sun from the shops window.

"It is done, Lady Fate." Turning around and smiling at the goddess that was hiding in the shadows in the corner of the shop.

Smiling bigger herself, Dayla walked out into the light. "Then it's only a matter of time before she comes home."

Kikyou gave a small nod, "It won't be easy for her, she's going to fight him." Closing her eyes, "She's hurting herself, I sensed her use her powers on herself."

Dayla sighed, "Hopefully Jareth would be able to help her, if not then where're going to have to step in and help as much as we can."

Kikyou nodded, all they could do was wait to see how Kagome was going to take all of this. Her eyes darkened in slight pain, she had so very much to make up for when Kagome finally except her place among The Underground. Without her the realms would fade until eventually the humans would notice that there were myths of different kinds running around getting into all kinds of trouble. None of the beings in The Underworld wanted that. Correction she scowled, none of the smart ones wanted that, the all-powerful leaders of The Underworld was tasked to keep the realms from degrading until she could fix it. They needed her there to stop the realms from cracking, it was the upmost important task to get her there.

Since Kikyou finally gave her the red book, it was nothing more than a waiting game now. . . Just to see how long it was going to take before she comes to where they needed her. To where she needed to be even if she didn't know she's needed to be there.

Oh Kagome. . .

Inuyasha/Labyrith

"Damn it." Kagome hissed out between clenched teeth. Peeking around the corner Kagome scowled, a police officer was standing right on her front door step. Her glare darkened, she was so going to kick her ex-boss's ass for this. She shouldn't have let her temper get the better of her when that pig of a man came on to her. She missed the past where it was simpler, where her and her friends could kick ass, take names, and to hell with the rest of the world.

A bitter smile moved across her face at that thought, Inuyasha was the one who had that mindset. She was the one who wanted to save everyone including the bad guys. She was always the one who got kidnapped. The one everyone thought was the weakest of the team, just because she had the mindset of a girl who wasn't raised in violence. Now she lost the innocence of childhood and she became a bitter shadow of who she once was.

She closed her eyes and leaned against the wall behind her not wanting to remember anymore. She took a very deep breath and straightened her shoulders out and then walked herself around the corner to face the music. She might as well get this over with. Clenching her hands, she was going to go to jail over a prick who needed to be taught a special lesson on how to treat women. If Inuyasha was there he would have thought the whole thing was funny, and then he would be helping her kick the guy's ass right alongside her. Her bitter smile became bigger, Inuyasha wouldn't have cared about police officers and going to jail. He would be telling her to fight and not let them get a hold of her.

"Miss are you Kagome Higurashi." One of the police officer asked. She took another deep breath and nodded at the guy that was only doing his job.

"Sorry miss, but you have to come with us" another guy said that was walking from down the hallway. "Face the wall and put your hands behind your back."

Closing her eyes, she started breathing deeply very afraid to move. (Concentrate, do not engage. They are not the enemy. They are only doing their job. Do not attack Higurashi!) Forcing memory's down that involved fighting and bloodshed. Kagome's miko ki started rising when she felt the handcuffs snap into place. Feeling cornered like an animal, fear for the officers shot though her.

What did Sesshoumaru teach her? Kagome's eyes clenched tighter still closed, what did he teach her? She repeated thanking, what were the rules? Mind going back, Sesshoumaru teaching her the ways of pack politics.

Keep all emotion so far down where no one could see. Only show emotion to pack. They are the only ones who care, not the humans that was only doing their job, not the demons she had to fight and kill. No one loved like pack, they aren't there to care for her. Her job was to get out of the human's way, don't bring attention to herself. Her breathing started slowing down, finding her center and forcing her ki back and under control. She felt herself calm down somewhat. Opening her eyes, they then forced her down the hallway and back down the elevator. The two last rules floated across her mind before they walked out the door.

Stay alive at all possible until pack finds her.

Her eyes swirled with a hint of gold mixed with sky baby blue, when she saw the police car waiting for her on the curve with its bright lights flashing.

If lost wait for alpha until further notice…. Even if she's tired of the waiting game.

Inuyasha/Labyrith

Walking through her front door that she hasn't seen in almost three days, Kagome shut the door behind her. She was tired and hungry but she really didn't have that much energy to eat so she made straight for her lonely bed. Dropping herself down like a bag of potatoes on the bedding, she closed her bright gaze and took a deep breath of relief that she was finally home.

Tears gathered between clenched eyes, how much longer was she supposed to wait? She almost lost it in the prison with some of the inmates. The walls kept closing in on her. She wasn't meant for walls, her spirit needed open space, clean air, and lots of green trees. Kagome couldn't help the laugh that escaped from her trembling mouth on the verge of crying.

Kami, if she wanted all of that then she picked the wrong state to live in. She turned over on her back and opened her eyes to stare at the faded white of her celling, more of a smoked yellow color then anything. She didn't have friends; no one would have come to bail her out anyway. No one that loves her lived in this city of loneliness. She was the weird oriental lady that talked to no one. That always had an arura of sorrow surrounding her and eyes that glittered with such knowledge of a world that was field with the lives of suffering and the lost.

Kagome sighed, after what felt like a lifetime she gave in and called her mother long distance all the way to Tokyo. Her mother was shocked when she heard the news on what happened with one of her bosses. After she lesioned, all Kagome could do was gap at the phone after her mother told her it was good that she shouldn't let people disrespect her like that. That if she beat up her ex-boss then he very well deserved it. After the whole ordeal, her mother wired the money to a bails bonds man to get her out of the pen.

Now there she was, finally in her shack of a home three days later. If anyone would really call this place home.

Shaking her head, she slowly got up to take a quick shower already knowing especially at this time of day that there was going to be no hot water. She needed to get the filth from the jail cell off before she could even get to sleep. She shivered just thinking about the kind of things that went on in a place like that made her skin break out in goosebumps. She needed a bath now even if it's going to be icy cold.

Sometime later Kagome walked out of her bathroom shivering from the chill that erupted over her skin from the cold. Moving over to her purse hoping that they put everything back, that was there before they went through it. Dumping it out on the bed, she did the inventory of what she had before she went to jail. Wallet, make-up bag, a few napkins and other small what not's. Blinking, a book fell out of her bag.

That's right Kiki let her borrow it.

Again she felt the answering magic every time she came near the little red book. Opening up to the first page, Kagome moved over to sit in the only chair she had in her apartment. She frowned confused, the magic of old once again wrapped around her, once more that of a gentle caress. This time it was impatient in its intensity, it gathered and shot right threw her once more. So much stronger then the first time and with a gasp she shivered stumbling back more into the chair. She felt the magic heading to a point of area and going straight for her core. Aroused and in disbelief that she was getting turned on by the feeling of enormous power that erupted over her senses. Kagome couldn't stop the moan from escaping her opened lips.

Her glittering eyes rolled in the back of her head doing nothing but feel the raw emotion that came with such power. Spinning and moving all through her body, like little fingers caressing her. She couldn't stop the orgasm from erupting deep within her core. Kagome's knuckles tightened on the book, throwing her head back against the chair while she moaned and shivered against the sensations of energy that attacked her nerve system with everything it had. With one last scream, Kagome slumped more in the chair gasping for breath.

"Oh, Kami. What was that?" Blinking opening eyes to stare at the book and it's first page. Her mouth dropped and all she saw was a picture of a handsome male with slashing eyes that burned with an intensity of heated magnetism power.

Gasping Kagome's glowing eyes swirled with her own power and it rose outward to surround her in a forceful of enormous pink light that went in circles around and around. Her eyes closed throwing her head back when the potency of energy from the book surrounded her and started to mix with her pure light. They combined in a flare of energy as she once more tumbled off into an orgasm so intense that she screamed out in pleasure. This one more powerful in its intensity, mixed with the power of heated attraction.

Boneless Kagome gasped, she closed her eyes slumping against the chair. Feeling herself slipping into unconsciousness. Weak from it all.

Hope, floated around her heart that this was a glimpse into a future that could set her free from her own pain and loneliness. She needed something to hold on to, proof that she wasn't going to be alone anymore. That she would once more have a place to really call her home.

Her mind slipped fully to sleep with a small smile of content on her softened serene face.

Kagome's hand slipped and the book slowly dropped to the floor where it landed with the male with the slashing eyes, gazed out of the pages with a smirk of anticipation on his handsome face.

Waiting…. And…. watching…. For the time when she calls….
