Kagome woke, she felt nice and so warm, she wanted to stay like that forever. Reluctantly she slowly blinked a couple times and saw herself curled up to something, she felt the thing she was curled up to, it grunted,

"That tickles," the man's voice groaned, Kagome shot up, she looked at Rai and everything came flooding back, every word she had said. She stared wide eyed at him,

"Hey, calm down, we did not do anything last night," Rai explained,

"Um, sorry," Kagome mumble,

"You just had a bad dream last night and you weren't making much sense, I laid down to try and calm you, it was just a bad dream," Rai seriously.

"It wasn't a dream, it was my past," Kagome mumbled,

"I kind of figured, just calm down, you are safe now, I am not going to let anything hurt you," Rai explained.

"Maybe we should have some breakfast," Kagome getting out of bed,

"Kagome, please, don't pull away from me just because of that dream of the past you had, I am here, you have someone to lean on," Rai strongly.

"I know, but honestly, I don't think I'll ever be able to open up about my past, can we just go down and have some breakfast, I really don't want to thing about any of it," Kagome explained.

"Alright," Rai coolly, they went downstairs and Rai fixed breakfast,

"Bacon, eggs, biscuits, and gravy right?" Rai stated, Kagome smiled,

"You remembered," Kagome giggled. Rai smiled a tiny smile,

"Of course, so, orange juice, milk, or loaded coffee?" Rai asked.

"Loaded, my dreams of the past were flaring up again," Kagome mumbled,

"So I noticed, are you going to be alright to cleanse your house?" Rai asked as he fixed her coffee.

"Yeah, I should be fine," Kagome nodding as she thanked him for pouring her some coffee.


At Kagome's House

Kagome took a breathe of fresh air,

"Okay, lets do this," Kagome walking to her door. He took her keys and unlocked the house, stepping inside first. She stepped in and looked around,

"Look, I know you are here, and I have felt your anger, but I promise you don't have to be afraid," Kagome called out, Rai could feel them, doors started opening and slamming shut, dishes rattled.

"I wont hurt you, please I have not harmed any of you in your lives, I want to help," Kagome seriously, she could hear whispers,

"She's a priestess,"

"She is light in the darkness,"

Kagome felt warmth around her,

"I know you all were hurt, I know some of you were raised to think what you did when you were alive was okay, but it wasn't, you just need to forgive each other for what happened, please, there is a better place for all of you, where you can see all your loved ones again, please just move on, I want you all to have peace, everyone deserves that, to be able to have peace from their past mistakes, don't you all want that? I know I do, I am tormented by my past, but I have friends to explain to me that I didn't do anything wrong but I still feel like I need to be forgiven for leaving my friends, the truth is I didn't belong in their world, and you all don't belong to this world any longer either, please, make your peace and move on to where you do belong, to forgive each other, because with so much anger that has burden you over the decades must be exhausting, be free from that burden, be forgiven and move on into that peaceful world, I promise you, its not too late to ask for forgiveness and to accept forgiveness," Kagome crying. Rai had gotten knocked a couple of times with dished, he was now in the floor, but Kagome had been protected by the good caring souls, the plates and dishes slowly stopped flying around. Kagome fell to her knees,

"I'm sorry I left you guys," Kagome sobbed out, she was shrouded with warmth all around her,

"I am so sorry," Kagome cried out,

"Forgive me please," Kagome softly. Very slowly the angry spirits moved on, Rai slowly moved over to Kagome,

"You're okay, shh, everything is going to be alright," Rai pulling her into his lap.

"I just left them, all alone," Kagome sobbed,

"Shh, I'm sure whoever you left understood," Rai playing with her hair, he could feel the warmth moving around them, slowly some of the warmth left, but some of the warmth stayed, but he didn't feel any of the angry spirits in the house anymore.

"You are all free now, at peace, you don't have to stay here anymore," Kagome mumbled,

"I think they want to stay and care for you," Rai seriously. Kagome laughed a little,

"You guys can stay but really, I'll be fine, your loved ones are waiting for you, I'll be okay," Kagome trying to smile, but she still felt them. Kagome felt their love and care they had held for her and it felt like home a little, safe and so warm.

"Okay, if you guys are going to stay, no freaking me out with throwing things, we are going to have children coming and staying with us, and also a good friend of mine," Kagome explained, Rai and Kagome both heard a little giggle and an excited little childlike spirit,

"Just don't scare them okay?" Kagome letting a tear roll down her face as she thought of Rin. They heard the wind blow through the house like a mother trying to quiet a child, though there wasn't any wind. Kagome wiped her face,

"Okay, now then, lets move in," Kagome smiling, the warmth backed away, giving Kagome some space,

"Alright, first I should decide which room I should take and move my stuff out of the way," Kagome explained. Rai helped her find a room and started moving her boxes to the room. While they were doing that the spirits who chose to stay behind started cleaning up the broken dishes throughout the downstairs, Kagome came down, she gasped,

"You guys don't have to clean up, I can do that, but thank you," Kagome smiling. She felt a hand on her shoulder, patting her, trying to tell her that they were there to take care of her.

"You guy are sweet really," Kagome explained,

"Okay, hey Rai, lets go grab your truck and get Aika's stuff and get her moved in," Kagome explained. They left and went to Rai's house and grabbed his truck, while riding to Aika's place Kagome was aroused by Rai driving his black truck,

"I must admit you look even more sexy driving this truck," Kagome blushing,

"You wouldn't be getting turned on by that fact would you?" Rai smirked as he could smell her arousal.

"Never," Kagome blushing even redder, he pulled up to Aika's bookstore, her arousal was causing him to lose his control, he leaned over and gently turned her face around kissed her. Kagome was stunned once again but kissed him back, slowly they pulled away.

"I apologize for being so forward," Rai softly,

"Don't, I liked it," Kagome shyly.

"Come, lets move Ms. Niigata," Rai getting out and coming around to open Kagome's door and helping her out of the truck. They set to work helping box things up and then putting it all in the truck.
