Sesshomaru was walking to his office when he saw Miroku and Sango waiting for him. "Where is she?" Sesshomaru looked at Miroku. "What are you talking about?" "Kagome we went to see her this morning and she wasn't in her room we have looked every where and she is no where to be found." Sesshomaru opened his door sure she was on the chair reading but when he did it was empty. "What happened at that meeting I have heard all kinds of things." Miroku was starting to worry. "She held her ground and that is all anyone needs to know." Sesshomaru said then noticed a note on his table. "Sesshomaru, my young master I needed time to think about some things. I will be back and please tell my brother that I will be fine." Sesshomaru took the note and handed it to Miroku. "She walked off. Were would she have gone Miroku?" Sango asked as Miroku went pale. 'She went to her village." Sesshomaru turned to Miroku. "We need to go with her its not safe with that monster out there." The others agreed and once they found Inuyasha and Kikyo they were off.
Kagome started to walk around her village the place she was born. "I wonder what would have been my path if I was able to live here with my mother and father." Kagome could feel the power that had once been around this place. She for a moment felt at peace and almost like she knew who she was. Kagome walked till she found a house that wasn't as torn apart and something was calling to her. She opened the door and for a moment she could see it this was where she was born this is where her father found her. Kagome was about to walk out when she felt that was something right outside. She ran and hid under a table. "Oh shit what is out there." Kagome could feel an aura but it was odd till she heard their voices. "Are you sure you saw that brat come this way?" "Come on sister I know she went this way." Kagome felt her heart start to beat it was those twins the ones that turned into the dragon. "Crap why are they here." Kagome was about to move when one of the walls came crashing down. Kagome took all she had not to scream. "I thought you said she would have screamed." "Calm down she's around here then the master will come." Kagome wanted to scream wanted to run but a fear was holding onto her. Then she felt the table explode around her and she was tossed to into a wall. Kagome looked up to see the twins and they started to laugh. "See." "Come here little girl." Kagome started to run she needed to get to the woods she had a better chance there.
Kagome started to run towards the woods as the twins turned into their dragon form. Kagome was about to reach the woods when a tail crashed in front of her. Kagome used her barrier to push the tail back as it moved close to her. "This will be easy she's all alone." One head said as the other started to laugh. "I hate this." Kagome turned and using what she could to send a wave of power tossing the dragon back to the village and she ran into the woods. Kagome's heart was beating fast memories flooding her head. Kagome found a large tree that had a opening at the bottom she sat inside the tree and sent her barrier as far as she could. "Little brat we will just smoke you out." The heads laughed as they started to spit out fire the woods lit up around Kagome's barrier. "Why did I come out here alone?" Kagome put her head in her lap she had no idea how to fight the dragon she had no arrows on her and alone she would use up all her power and be easy pray. The fire circled around Kagome's barrier slowing pushing it back towards Kagome. "Remember girls I need her heart to be beating." Kagome heard the male voice and something inside her started to shake.
Miroku was holding his staff tight as they came up to the ghost village. "Something isn't right here." Miroku spoke as they heard laughing. "No way." Sango said as she and Miroku took off. Kikyo jumped on Inuyasha's back as they followed Sesshomaru stopped as he felt something. "She's afraid." Sesshomaru could feel it she was alone and afraid. "Kagome!" Sesshomaru yelled in hopes she would hear them coming. He started to run towards the fire. The dragon was laughing as it was spitting more fie into the woods. "Kagome!" Miroku was now yelling as they saw the fire. "Look sister more souls for our master. "Think again." Sango said as she tossed her weapon. Miroku pulled pieces of paper out of his sleave and sent them at the dragon. Sango's weapon pushed the demon as the paper landed on it's skin and sent a shock through its body. "You brats." The dragon was about to attack when an arrow hit it in th shoulder pushing it back. "What is going on?" "Time to end you!" Inuyasha screamed as the dragon heads were trying to figure out what was going on. Inuyasha was about to cut the dragon in half when a black hand took hold of the sword. "That wont work boy." A male voice said as he tossed Inuyasha to the side.
Kagome's barrier was now around the tree she could feel the heat of the fire. "Come on Kagome why are you freezing up. "Kagome!" Kagome looked up when she heard Sesshomaru. "Kagome!" Then she heard her brother. "I have to help them." Kagome wanted to move but again she froze. She could see this before. When the monster came for her parents...
Kagome was playing in her room when a fire appeared around the house. Kagome's father sent his barrier around the house as Kagome's mother picked her up and put her under the table. "Little one stay here and don't make a sound." Her mother spoke and she did as she asked. They ran outside and she could hear the fight. The dragon came and little Kagome could hear her parents fighting hard. Then the deep dark voice spoke. "Let me see your souls!" Kagome wanted her parents to come back in and be safe but they never did the dragon pinned them down and they screamed as something took hold of their souls. "NO! Their souls wont work. Kill them girls." The dragon stomped and then there was silence. "Master do you feel anyone else." Kagome held her breathe her little heart almost stopping." "No we will look else where." Then with that they were gone. Kagome waited and then got up her little body shaking she knew she was alone. She opened the door and there they were the crushed bodies of her parents the village burned and silent. Kagome backed up and went back under the table alone.
Kagome's tears started to run down her face the anger she now felt. She was powerless to help them and now she was too afraid to help now.
Sesshomaru ran into the flames the heat was nothing for him as he walked. He followed the soft sound of tears as he could feel it. "Kagome there you are." Sesshomaru stopped at the large tree and found Kagome curled up in a ball tears coming down. "Why can't I move?" "Kagome your not alone." Kagome heard the words and then saw her father who found her raised her and loved her. Kagome jumped up and took hold of Sesshomaru "Thank you." Kagome's heart started to beat stronger and Sesshomaru could feel her fear turning to anger. Kagome held tight to Sesshomaru as her power started to glow and the fire disappeared.
Miroku and Sango were doing everything they could to knock the dragon over. "Our master keeps us safe." The dragon laughed. "You killed my parents!" The others stopped as Kagome walked out of the woods Sesshomaru right behind her. "Your parents were weak." Kagome had enough and ran towards the dragon. The heads laughed then they noticed she was heading for the mark. "Kagome what are you doing?" Miroku yelled. "Keep those heads off her." Sesshomaru yelled as he took his sword. Kagome could only see the mark the monster behind it that took so much from her. Her body was glowing with power. The heads came after her she jumped as one snapped at her then a bone weapon pushed it back along with paper spells. Kagome kept running even as a clawed hand came towards her. "Kagome!" Miroku yelled as the hand pinned Kagome to the ground. Kagome felt the nail enter her shoulder but she needed to get to that mark. She tried to move but felt the dragon put more pressure on her body. "Get off her!" A white blur came running passed the hand and then the dragon pulled back as the hand was cut clean off. Kagome slipped out her shoulder bloody. "I want to see that soul!" The dark voice yelled and the twins once more started try to stop Kagome. "WHY!" Kagome kicked off the ground and landed on the mark. The darkness started to move and there before her was a body. "I need souls to regain my power." Kagome could feel there was something off about the monster. He reached out to touch Kagome when she took her knee and kicked him. The darkness yelled in pain as the light from Kagome's soul was melting the darkness. "You brat how dare you hurt our master." Kagome took hold of the darkness. "I hate you!" Kagome released everything as the darkness started to melt at her touch and the monster screamed. The twins roared in anger as the mark was now gone. Kagome looked around everything was going blurry. "Mom...dad..." Kagome started to fall back.
Miroku watched as his sister was able to make the spider mark dissappear then to his horror she was falling. The dragon heads were moving in mouths open. "Weak demons time to die!" Inuyasha yelled as he pulled back on his sword. "Wind scar!" "Inuyasha wait!" Miroku yelled too late as the wind scar was heading right for Kagome and the dragon twins. "You idiot she's passed out!" Sango screamed and Inuyasha could see it Kagome was out cold as she was falling and the wind scar was going to hit her as well as the dragon. "Shit!" Kikyo held Inuyasha's hand as they watched the wind scar take over in a bright white light. "Kagome!" Miroku yelled he could do nothing for his sister.
The world seemed to move in slow motion as they waited for the wind scar to hit and show its damage. The dust was clearing and Miroku felt his heart start to beat again as there was Sesshomaru his body overing Kagome his own aura keeping them both safe the dragon that once stood turned to nothing but dust. "Oh thank god." Was the first to speak as Sesshomaru stood holding Kagome. "You stupid half-breed. You would have killed her." Inuyasha looked up as Sesshomaru was yelling at him. "She was fine a second ago." Inuyasha yelled back. "Stupid." Sesshomaru said as he started to walk out of the village. The others followed Miroku ran and walked next to Sesshomaru. "I can take her now. I don't want..." "There is no shame in me holding her. She did a great thing even though she was so afraid." "She was afraid." Miroku looked at his sister her shoulder still bleeding a little. "Why would she be afraid we had faced this demon before." Inuyasha said as he and Kikyo came up on the other side. "I think I know." Miroku said as he looked at his sister.
Once they found a place to stop near a river Miroku looked at the wound on Kagome's shoulder. "So why do you think she was afraid?" Inuyasha asked as he stretched out on the grass. "My father told me that the demon they believed destroyed her village was a dragon. I think those twins killed her parents." "Ok but why be afraid she should have gotten angry from the start." "You are a fool." Sesshomaru said as he sat next to Kagome as Miroku was cleaning th wound. "Really why is that brother dear!" Inuyasha said his own anger starting to grow. "She was three when that dragon took everything from her. She must have felt powerless and god knows what she heard and saw that day. She had no weapons and was alone just like that day. She was afraid I could feel it." Sesshomaru spoke as he looked down at his miko she was out cold but she was so sad. "Wait you mean you can feel her emotions?" Sango asked she could read Miroku but she never thought Sesshomaru could do the same with Kagome. "I have for awhile now. I think she can feel mine too." Sesshomaru felt it his pride was wanting him to walk away but then he didn't want to leave Kagome. "Wow." Kikyo said as she held Inuyasha's hand. "Its no big deal I have heard that this happens when you bond." the group smiled that sounded more like the young lord.
