Chapter 11:

Love and Hate

Kayumi was standing back watching Kagome when a blur rushed Kagome but not before she let her ki blast go and hit Chi-Chi. Gohan was standing there with wide eyes as Kirara and Shippou were trying to speak to him. Goku had finally come back out but was shocked when the dust cleared and Piccolo had Kagome pinned to the ground. Bulma was the first to move as she dashed over to where Chi-Chi had been. When she arrived she found that Chi-Chi was still alive but one of her legs was blown away from that little blast of Kagome's.

"Yamcha come here and help me!" Bulma yelled over at him. Yamcha rushed to her side and helped her with Chi-Chi while the others were watching Kagome and Piccolo.

"Will you stay still woman?" Piccolo hissed as he tried to keep his arms around her. "You and I need to talk."

Kagome growled at him. "No, I need to take out the garbage first." She hissed her eyes on Yamcha's retreating form. "That bitch will pay for what she did to my brother!" Kagome vowed as she tried to break loose.

Her hair had went back to normal after piccolo tackled her however her eyes were still a dark violet. Kayumi rushed over to Piccolo and looked over at Goku. "We need to take her to Kami's look out!" She yelled at him.

Goku nodded as he rushed them three and used his Instant Transmission to bring the four of them to Kami's look out. Mr. Popo and Dende were already waiting on them and had a room ready for Kagome and Piccolo.

"Bring Ms. Kagome this way, please." Mr. Popo asked them leading them into the lookout house and through the halls to the back rooms.

Piccolo handed Kagome, who was still struggling, to Goku with a little bit of difficulty. "I need to speak with Kayumi." Piccolo told Goku as he looked down at Kagome. "There is something that I need to find out."

Goku frowned but nodded following after Mr. Popo with Kagome who had finally settled down a little bit. Dende followed after Goku and Kagome, knowing he might need to help heal her. Kagome's eyes went back to blue and her power level decreased. Piccolo waited till both of the Sayains were out of hearing range before he looked at Kayumi. "Are you going to tell them?" He raised a brow.

Kayumi narrowed her eyes. "I don't know what your talking about." She hissed as she looked after Goku. "My job is to stay in the shadows not get involved." She whispered longingly.

Piccolo snorted as he crossed his arms moving in front of her. "Really?" He looked her up and down. "I could have sworn that you cared a great deal for the two of them as if they were your own."

"That is because I have kept an eye on them since they arrived." Kayumi snapped. "I know that you know I am not of this world but you need to keep your mouth shut. There is an evil coming and only Kagome will be able to resist the temptation of the darkness that it offers." Her eyes closed. "She needs to receive her memories soon because if she doesn't then I fear that the world as we know it will parish." her eyes opened and looked into Piccolo's.

He nodded. "I knew that you felt it but I need to know if you can contact the ones who did this to her then I could offer my assistance." Piccolo knew that the new evil that was coming was going to be worse than anything they had faced before and they would need Kagome, complete with memories, in order to destroy this threat.

Kayumi could feel the evil aura closing in but she had never felt this before. Frowning she took in what Piccolo said. Yes she cared more than she should for Goku however there were other things that were more important than telling someone how you feel. She looked up at the Namek.

"If I know anything we will need to meditate in order to even get close to speaking with the person that placed a block on her memories." Kayumi walked over and sat down crossed legs. "Will you join me?" She smiled at Piccolo.

Piccolo nodded moving over and sitting down next to her. "I'm ready when you are." He told her closing her eyes. Kayumi nodded closing her eyes as well.

In the house with Kagome and Goku

Kagome kept her eyes adverted from her brothers because she couldn't believe what he let himself get into. She knew he was gullible but this was an all new low. Snorting she looked around the room she and her brother were put in. It was completely white and neither of them could leave until a couple of hours. It was a room off of the Time Chamber that Dende had built. Instead of years for minutes it was hours. The little green kid locked them in this damn room for 2 hours.

"Why did that little green kid lock us in here again?" Kagome glared at her brother.

"Because he knows there is something wrong and you wont talk to me about it." Goku whined. "It was my idea." You could tell that he was rather upset that his sister was angry with him. "Why are you so upset with me Kay?" Goku frowned as he called Kagome by her child hood nickname.(It is pronounced as 'K', the letter. As in the first letter of Kagome..)

Kagome looked at her brother. "When I left I must have really hurt you huh?" She whispered as she took a seat on the small couch that was in the 20X20 room.

Goku nodded as he moved over and sat down next to her. "I lost the only person that knew the real me." His eyes found hers. "You kept me from hurting any one when I..." He swallowed as the memory of her stopping him from killing the town however their grandpa Gohan had been killed.

Kagome frowned not remembering. Then she was hit with a memory of a younger her about 11 looking Kagome floating in front a giant ape, its tail swishing back and forth. She was telling the ape to remember her and who he was. Frowning Kagome looked at Goku and then realized that he no longer had his tail. She was at his side in an instant her eyes wide in shock. She remembered that it was her that cut her brothers tail off because it was the only way to turn him back to normal.

"Kay?" Goku asked with a frown he was looking at her his hand hovering in between their space fearing of startling her. "Are you ok?" He asked.

Kagome looked up and nodded. "I remember that it was my fault that you lost your tail but it was either that or the whole town." Her eyes started to water. "I also remember that Grandpa Gohan was killed." She smiled softly. "You named him after Grandpa Gohan."

"Yeah," Goku rubbed the back of his head. "Gohan was a miracle when he was born but now I can see where she only wanted to control me and him." He sighed sitting down on the couch. "I was lost when you left but I kept this until you came back." He pulled out her necklace with the dark blue snowflake.

"Y-You kept it." Her voice was soft and her eyes wide in shock. Kagome's hands were trembling as she reached for it.

Goku chuckled as he spun her round making her hold her stomach as he placed the necklace back around her neck. "Of course I kept it. Why wouldn't I?" He asked finally letting the smile reach his eyes. "And since your back you can have it back." He kissed the top of her head.

"I'm sorry Goku." Kagome bit her lip as she looked up at him. "I never meant for this to happen all I do know is that what I did, where ever I went, did a lot of good and saved a lot of people."

Goku nodded. "I understand sis." He smiled down at her. "Just don't take off like that again without a little warning next time." He raised a brow.

Kagome nodded as she hugged her little brother. She just prayed that she would be able to figure out what was coming because she could also feel something dark coming. When the buzzer went off to let them know that the time was over both of them jumped. Goku was the first out and headed to the dining room where there was a buffet just for him and Kagome. Mr. Popo decided that since they were in there without any food they needed to eat after they came out. Kagome followed after Goku although a little slower.

(Piccolo and Kayumi)

Piccolo and Kayumi both opened their eyes and gasped in shock. They were no longer meditating on the look out but on a planet with a pink sky and blue grass. Piccolo thought it looked a little like Namek except for the colors. Kayumi knew only to well where they were. The World of Rieki. She had heard of this places only in the legends that were written in the scrolls, in her library.

"Do not fear, you wished to be heard and here you are." Midoriko told them appearing about ten feet from them.

Piccolo narrowed his eyes at the woman in front of them. She was dark haired and she had four jewels on her forehead. "Who are you?" He asked keeping his tone pleasant.

Midoriko smiled. "I am the one named Midoriko." She answered. "I was the one who placed a block on Kagome's memory because of the fact that if she hadn't she would have lost her love sooner than she planned. It was her decision to hide her memories in order to have a long and happy life."

Kayumi nodded. "That is understandable because of the fact that Kagome wouldn't have wanted her mate or children to suffer. What should we do to help her get her memories back?" She asked the eldest miko.

"You will need to help her find her mate." Midoriko said. "However if she finds out who her mate is before she is ready her memories will not be brought back."

"Is Shippou and Kirara also effected?" Kayumi asked her worried for the kids. Midoriko shook her head.

"No this is just for Kagome because of the fact that there needed to be balance however," Midoriko bit her lip.

"However?" Piccolo raised an eyebrow.

"Kagome's mate already knows that she is his but I don't know what he will do." She offered them. "Kagome has changed a little bit back to the way she was after she left here but I must let you know what happened to her."

"Where did Kagome go?" Kayumi asked frowning. "I couldn't feel her aura where she was and it was as if she had died."

Midoriko nodded. "In a way, she did however she was just thrown into another dimension." She walked over and sat under a tree. "She was reborn however her sayain powers were hidden til she was pulled back into the past when she was 15. There she meet a half demon named Inuyasha and helped recapture the Jewel of Four Souls. If she hadn't done so then that world would have disappeared and King Kai did not wish for it to be destroyed yet thus the reason he asked me to take Kagome and send her there."

"Which you did?" Kayumi interjected at the time. Midoriko nodded.

"It was needed because of the fact that if she hadn't then darkness would have spread through out the universe." Midoriko told them. "The only way that Kagome will get all her memories back is to mate with her mate and complete the bond until then she will not fully remember. As of now she is getting flashes but nothing that has to do with the life after the earth you come from."

Kayumi nodded. "Then we need to help her and her mate." She looked at Midoriko. "Does he know that she is his?"

Midoriko nodded. "He does though he wasn't suppose to find out til later." She grinned. "He is rather observant as well as quiet."

Kayumi nodded. "What should we do to help Kagome along with finding her memories?" She asked hopeful. She truly wished to have her student back they way she was.

"Keep her around Shippou, Kirara and Goku." Midoriko told them. "They will help her bring the memories forward in her mind. However she needs someone with her at all times. The darkness you feel was unleashed from the Kagome when she arrived on earth because she was to weak to keep him dormant."

"Who is this evil you talking about?" Piccolo asked. "Even Kami doesn't know who you are talking about and that old man knew everything."

"Magatsuhi." Midoriko sighed and cringed. "He is the darkness in the jewel of four souls. Kagome is the only one who can take him on and kill him."

Piccolo nodded. "Then we will do anything to help this along." His eyes went to Kayumi's. "I also wish to speak to you about Kayumi." Piccolo looked back at the elder miko in front of him.

Midoriko smirked as she looked at Kayumi. "What shall you like to know?" Her eyes went back to Piccolo. "That you don't already know." She raised an eyebrow at the Namek.

"Is Goku her mate?" Piccolo asked bluntly with Kayumi staring at him with wide eyes.
