I couldnt make up my mind if kag was going 2 meet the akastuki or team 7 1st! So I decided on a shocker! Hope you all love it! BTW guess what?! Soul Exchange's sequal came out a year easly! It was supposed 2 come out in 2009 but it came out early! A/W reed the chap before 4 info & spoliers about it! Can't wait 4 the next 1 & went back & realized Wolf was right I did miss a WHOLE bunch of stuff! I mean I tottally missed the part when Death says Jinx was NOT her brother! Wow, so ya! Jinx is no longer her brother k? Here's the next chap and thanxs to Wolf who has been helping me with my grammer & spelling!

Kagome turned her head from the sunlight then groaned. It hurt so much. Voices sounded above her as she opened her eyes slowly blinking at the light. A black haired figure stood above her staring down, worry flashing through his eyes. Blinking lightly Kagome smiled weakly at him before going back into darkness. A/N: I was thinking about putting this as the chap ending but i decided i wouldn't be cruel!

Something cool pressed against my forehead softly. Opening my eyes weakly I blinked as a pair of amber eyes stared at me. A/N: U thot it was Itachi didn't u didnt u admit it! Shivering at the lust in those eyes I focused my attention on my body. Everything hurt, almost as though I had been beaten. Frowning I tried to remember what happened... Shippo! Panic filled me at once as I thought about my son fighting the boar demon all by himself. Sitting up abruptly I found myself being pushed down by the owner of those pale golden orbs. Staring up at him, I shivered again. The man had long, black hair that fell dead straight around his face and pale skin making him appear almost skeletal. But that wasn't that made me shiver the most, no... it was his long pointed tongue that was seen flicking occasionally. Secretly I wondered if he was a Snake Demon because of his looks. Scanning his aura my frown deepened even more, it was almost like he didn't fit that body. Like it was just a host... could it be? If so what did he have planned with me? I mean his aura was even darker then Naraku's!

"Where am I?" I asked softly, my voice coming out gritty because of lack of use.

"You are in my fortress... my name is Orochimaru." said the man his cheek bones sticking out even more as he spoke. "I found you in a old well, you were unconscious, so I brought you here for treatment. Can you tell me your name?"

Swallowing heavily I said. "My name? It's Kagome Higurashi."

"What a pretty name... Kagome. Tell me Kagome have you ever been here before? Or perhaps to Konaha?" asked Orochimaru, his tongue flicking out once more.

A bell seemed to ring in my head... Konaha? Could that have been a village I had visited with my mother before I had lost my wings. Frowning I chewed my bottom lip as I prayed once again that Shippo was alive before saying softly.

"I am unsure, I was... injured years ago and lost my memories of those before then."

"Ah..." said Orochimaru suddenly before standing. "Well as the Hokage of the Sound Village, I offer you my services until you are healed as well as this room till you choose to leave. I do however ask that you look around my village and think about whether or not you would be willing to join this village... perhaps as a ninja?"

"A ninja?" I asked both shocked and amazed.

I had always had an obsession with ninjas... though I never learned why. Perhaps I could join this village... after I finished collecting the jewel shards. Lifting my hand to my neck I touched the spot that had once housed my mother's amulet... now in the possession of my son. Closing my eyes I wondered what my mother would say to me agreeing to stay with this village. Would she object? I mean, she had a far better insight into the hearts of those who are evil. After all she was a Goddess... also known as a Dark God. Opening my eyes once more I glanced at Orochimaru, his face icy calm. Smiling suddenly, I figured my first impression was wrong. I mean surely he couldn't be that bad?

"Sure I would love to stay until I'm healed... but then I have my own quest to finish." I said happily. "After that I'll come back and join your Village."

"Good." said Orochimaru smiling, slight pointed teeth showing as he spoke. "I am truly glad that you will join our Village. However may I ask what is your quest?"

"I broke something that I have to fix." said Kagome softly.

Nodding Orochimaru said. "Then perhaps I can help you with this quest once you are healed."

"Okay!"

I smiled at the young Angel once more, my stomach turning in disgust. This acting... nice was already getting to me and it was the first day of my plan. Closing my eyes briefly I watched as she drifted off to sleep before I stood once more. Staring down at her, I couldn't help but admit the Angel was indeed beautiful... her soft, long, black hair held a tint of blue. While her skin was slightly tanned, like she had been spending time in the sun lately. Plump, pale pink lips gave the look of being kissed while her blue eyes had held innocence inside of them. The innocence that would grant me immortality. Grinning wickedly, I walked out of the room and down the corridor that would lead to my own. Opening the door I stepped into the large room.

Grey in colour it stood larger then the Konaha's training ring. Books, scrolls and paintings adorned one side while a large, green snake took up the other. Curled in a ball, he glanced over at me with his large, golden eyes and flicked out his tongue lightly. Smirking at him I made my ways to the books, selecting the one I wanted instantly. Knowing which one it was, the moment my eyes laid on it. Black in colour with crimson letters, that had long since worn away, on the cover I flipped it open. Scanning the pages before flipping on, pausing when I reached what I wanted.

The page was worn yellow and faded from long exposer, but its image remained clear. Drawn lightly in pencil was the image of the girl I had been searching for, for years. Dressed in a flowing gown, she stood among animals, a smile gracing her face. It was the large wings however, that stood out from her making her appear unearthly. Drawn with extraordinary detail, almost as though the author had gone through great pain to make sure he got every detail of her right. They appeared lifelike... almost as though they could flap and the girl would fly out of the page. Closing my eyes, I thought back onto when I had checked the girl for any injuries. It was then that I had seen the two scares... scares that I knew where from when someone had cut off her wings.

Glancing at the bottom of the page, I lightly ran my hand over the words there as I read them out loud. "Kagome, my Angel."

Smirking I glanced up at the large portrait hanging there. It's own image forever burned into my memory. Sitting on a thrown of bones was a beautiful woman. Her hair flowing around her shoulders, the crimson and blue streaks glittering. Pale golden eyes glared out at me, filled with sadness as well as anger. Wearing a black fighting pants with crimson dragons wrapping around her legs. A bra like top adorned her chest, highlighting her generous breasts. Bands of black metal adorned her wrists, right arm and neck. Her skin was pale, appearing almost like moonlight... a pale skin that her daughter shared with her.

"You should have taught you daughter better... now I have her." I whispered. "And soon I shall have you... oh Dark God."

Grinning I walked away from the portrait, my thoughts focused on my plan. Now that I finally had Kagome, I could get her mother. All I needed was for Kagome to join my side... and call her. But for that she would need a little convincing... after all how could she refuse when we so desperately needed help to defeat Konaha? Smirking I frowned as my attention turned back to the diary... all I had to do was keep her away from the owner of that diary and my plan would work... if only I knew who the owner of the diary was...

Crimson eyes glared at me as a sword was raised. Hatred flashed in those eyes as the sword was brought down. Agony flashed through me as I screamed, as my wings fell to the ground in a heap of bloodied feathers. Glancing down at them I watched with tears as my divine gift, slowly turned to dust before blowing away. Leaving in its place two feathers. Blood dripped down my back as my vision began to turn black. Hands released me as I fell to the floor. My mind aware of the screams that filled the air. What was happening? Closing my eyes tighter, I willed the pain to go away as I felt warm arms lift me.

"Are you okay? Say something! Please!" gasped a male's voice, tears in his voice.

Warmth filled me then as I transported away. Leaving behind the voice, my body appeared in front of my mother. Her eyes filled with horror as she saw me. Clutching myself I stumbled forward whispering her name as I fell forward. Catching me in her arms, she held on to me tight. Almost as though she was afraid that I would vanish should she let go. Opening my eyes slowly I let out a scream as my mother's golden eyes changed to a crimson.

"Milady! Milady! Are you okay?" asked a voice as I jerked myself awake.

Staring up I let out another scream as crimson eyes met mine...
