"You disobeyed Pitch' s strict order not to go out."

Kagome felt her breath hitch.

"N-no! Dark, please, don't tell him!" She begged. Dark ignored her pleas and zoomed off into the sky and back to the lair. Kagome's whole world came crashing down. Jack floated over and placed a hand on her shoulder.

"Are you going to be okay?" Jack asked. Kagome stared off into the distance.

"I-I can't go back... Dad'll kill me!" Kagome felt tears appear in her eyes. "But... where will I go?"

"Come stay with us!" Jack said, meaning the other guardians as well. "Stay with me. We can protect you." Kagome looked at Jack, then at Kilala. The cat nodded her head. She turned back to Jack and nodded.

"Okay." She whispered. Jack looked at Kilala.

"Follow me." He said and flew off towards the North Pole where they'd surely choose a place for her and Kilala to stay. They continued their way, flying over different towns, cities and the sea until they reached the North Pole. They got inside and as soon as Kagome got off of Kilala she fell to the floor on her knees. Tears streamed down her face as North looked at her.

"Kagome? Are you okay?" He asked. Kagome was silent until she spoke again.

"No. No, I'm not okay. I should've listened to my Dad. Now, now he'll hate me..." Her voice was cracked and the tears fell to the floor. Kilala mewled and transformed only into her humanoid version. She pulled Kagome close.

"Don't cry, Kagome." Kilala said comfortingly. Jack and North stared at Kilala but then Jack walked over to comfort Kagome.

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said a word." He apologised, wrapping an arm around her shoulders comfortingly. Kilala pulled away and Kagome buried her face into his neck, sobbing her eyes out. Kilala smiled.

"They belong." Kilala whispered to North.

"I'll call other guardians." North suggested and set off the Northern Lights.

Soon, they arrived to see Kagome being held by Jack. She stopped crying and just sniffled quietly.

"What happened?" Tooth asks, fluttering over to Kagome.

"I was going back to my lake but I was confronted by someone who looked like me. He said something about hoping I could hold out in a fight and began attacking me. Kagome stopped us before anyone got hurt and the guy realised she must've escaped their home when Pitch denied her request. I said she could stay with one of us." Jack explained. Kagome lifted her had and Tooth gasped at the sight of her red, puffy eyes. She pulled Kagome out of Jack's arms and looked her over. Kagome felt uncomfortable under her stare and hands and tore away from her grasp. She hugged Jack, still upset. Tooth looked at her, confused.

"Why did you pull away?" Tooth got closer and Kagome pushed in closer to Jack. She leaned up and whispered into his ear. He nodded.

"She was a bit uncomfortable when you pulled her up so quickly and she feels more comfortable with me." Jack explained.

"She was a lot more comfortable when she first met us. Why now?" Tooth asked. Sandy made some images out of dreamsand, saying maybe Jack was the only one she could trust at the moment.

"'Ey, Sheila." Kagome looked up at Bunny as he walked over. "Don't worry, you'll be fine with us." Kagome looked in his eyes, searching for anything that said he was lying. When she came up with nothing, she smiled.

Back at the Lair

Dark floated inside. He was deep in thought. Should he tell Pitch and risk hurting his little sister-figure? Or should he lie? Dark stood in the hallways, thinking deeply.

He had no idea what to do.
