Chapter 25

Inuyasha, Rin, Koga, Ayame, Sango, Miroku and Sesshomaru all watched in horror. As Kagome allowed herself to be killed. Just as the poison had entered her system, Kagome was pulled away while Roku tore the jewel out of Naraku's body. As Kagome tried to fight off the poison, Kagome heard her brother Roku land in front of her. Dai took the jewel and quickly handed it to his sister. Just as he was about to stand, Roku was heard say, "He's not happy."

"Kagome…you have to help Midoriku. You're the only one that can help her." Dai stated.

"Don't…please just leave." Kagome hissed as he body began to change to that of a human.

"Sorry sis." Roku said.

"But if you don't purify this." Dai added.

"We'll be killed." They stated before they charged at Naraku.

Kagome watched as Dai and Roku fought against Naraku. She hadn't been surprised when Inuyasha joined into help them. 'Midoriku…what do I need to go?' Kagome asked as she kept her eyes on the two brothers while purifying the jewel. Once the jewel was back to its regular color, Kagome heard Midoriku's answer, 'wish to change the world for the better.'

"Kagome!" Sango called as Miroku's protective barrier began to weaken.

"Sango! Miroku! Rin! Koga! Ayame! Sesshomaru!" Kagome yelled as she tried to get up only to be paralyzed by Naraku's poison.

"Die!" Inuyasha yelled only to be thrown back by Naraku's tentacles.

"No…Inuyasha!" Kagome whispered as she closed her eyes. 'I know what I'll lose, I know what I'll change but as much as it pains me, I cannot let the innocent die.'

"No!" Naraku roared as he moved to attack Kagome only to be stopped by Dai and Roku.

"You're fighting use." Dai hissed.

"Dai…Roku." Kagome whispered as she opened her eyes only to watch them die.

"Bastard!" Inuyasha roared. 'I love you Kagome.'

"I love you too Inuyasha." Kagome whispered. 'Midoriku…I wish that you would change the world for the better. A place without Naraku or demon like him.'

"No!" Naraku yelled as he was surrounded in a brilliant blue light.



As the light surrounded Naraku and Kagome, Inuyasha quickly ran toward his crying mate and pulled her into his arms. When he tried to calm her by wrapping his aura around her, Inuyasha was shocked when a ton of miko energy pushed him back. Before he could growl or talk to her he found himself along with his crying mate, at the cross roads between the living and the dead. Kagome opened her eyes and was met by a pair of very worried amber eyes. But before either one of them could say a word, Midoriku was heard say, "May you're a selfish one."

"Midoriku." Kagome whispered as she let Inuyasha help her up.

"Feh, Kagome is mine!" Inuyasha growled. "You can't have her."

"Inuyasha…I love you." Kagome said as she held onto him tightly.

"The wish must be granted for all innocent lives must be saved." Midoriku explained.

"I know." Kagome stated as s he let go of Inuyasha and pulled away. "I'm sorry Inuyasha…but I'd die without you."

"What the hell are you talking about wench?" Inuyasha growled as he tried to hold her.

"Kagome, there isn't time." Midoriku stated.

"I know…I will always be with you…my love…my mate…my Inuyasha." Kagome stated as she gave him one last kiss before taking hold of Midoriku's hand.

As the light grew brighter, Kagome slit her soul in half and placed it in the red jewel she had given Inuyasha. Soon morning came and the sounds of a buys town could be heard. There were no longer forest, no longer demons just humans and demon's hidden amongst them now. With that one wish everything had changed. Roku and Dai were alive and well living with the parents they never had. Inuyasha lived with his family and his new sister-in-law while enjoying life with his two best friends. Yet something was missing, and he had no idea what. 'I have a great life, a great girlfriend, two great friends…so what the hell is missing?' he thought.

"Yo Yasha!" his best friend was heard as he walked over to the Sakura tree he was in.

'Damn monk.' Inuyasha thought as he jumped down only to see Miroku and Sango walking hand in hand toward him. "What is it now?"

"Just wanted to know if you wanted to go to the mall with us" Sango answered.

"Yeah it's been a while since we've hanged out." Miroku added.

"Don't know…think Kikiyo said something about going to some show." Inuyasha answered.

"I did say we were going to a show. We're going to Kaleido Star stage." Kikiyo was heard as she approached the three. "I also told you t hat I got tickets for them too.



(A/N: Sorry couldn't help it…it's a nice anime…)

"Thanks!" Sango yelled as she hugged Kikiyo.

"Wait, why are we going all of a sudden?" Miroku asked.

"Don't we have to go with our parents the meeting is tonight?" Sango added.

Sango, Miroku, and Kikiyo all knew about demons. Sango came from a long line of demon exterminators while Miroku was raised as a monk. Kikiyo had miko powers because of the family she was born into. Her family was the second strongest in the circles while Inuyasha's father was the one that had control over all of Japan. Kikiyo smiled and said, "No, I got you guys excused."

"Just to go see a show?" Inuyasha asked as he held her.

"Yeah, I wanted you guys to see my little sisters first time on stage." Kikiyo answered. 'I have to fix things…it was her will that give me a second chance.'

"Isn't she a freshmen in our high school?" Sango asked.

"No, my parents are getting her home schooled so that she can partice more." Kikiyo answered. "She has stronger powers then me so if she falls she can use her miko powers and just make it looks like it's a part of the show."

"Oh, well how about we finish up with school and we'll get something to eat before going to the show." Inuyasha suggested.

"Alright, see you all later." Kikiyo stated before quickly pecking Inuyasha on the lips and before taking her leave.

As they made their way back, they had no idea of the surprise that awaited them. They all may have been seniors but they knew little of what was to occur as a pair of worried yet calm eyes kept watch of them. 'The jewel did nothing but grant peace, Naraku is still alive and I fear the worst.' The guardian priestess thought as she continued to protect them. 'Only you five can defeat the danger that is Naraku.'

She ran as fast as she could, knowing that in just hours she would be on stage. It was her first year with Kaleido stage and she had already managed to get a top role without the aid of her father. Just as she entered the practice room, Kagome ran into her partner. After greeting everyone, Sora turned to her partner and asked, "You ready?"

"Yeah, I just need to tone my flute and stretch out. Are our costumes ready?" Kagome answered.

"Yeah, you ready for your first show?" Sora replied.



"yeah, I'm just going to go and warm up on the stage." Kagome said as he turned to face the rest of her friends. "Hey guys."

"You ready?"

"Don't screw up."

After taking a deep breath, Kagome walked out with Sora as the two went to go make sure that the stage was set. After testing it out with some basic stunts, the two raced to go and change into their suites. As they got changed Kagome couldn't help but feel the emptiness in her heart being to get filled in. 'Maybe it's because sister Kikiyo is going to come see me.' Kagome thought as she began to get ready. Little did she know, she was about to meet the one person that would complete her.

"Damn…this is going to be a bad ass story." Sango said as they walked down toward the stage.

"Yeah, my sister is the second lead." Kikiyo replied. "Come on I have to go and meet my sister's boss."

"What for?" Inuyasha asked as he kept his hold around his girlfriend.

"We have some business to discuss." A man was heard.

"Oh, hello Carlos…where's my sister?" Kikiyo addressed.

"She's getting ready." Carlos answered. "We can talk after the show."

"That would best." Sango replied.

"Let's go take our seats." Miroku offered.

"I'll catch up…I need to give something to my sister." Kikiyo replied as she pulled away from her boyfriend.

"Alright we'll see you later." Sango called back.

Once they were out of hearing range, Kikiyo turned to Carlos and said, "Thank you, here is what I promised."

"Yes, it's a shame what must be done." Carlos replied.

"Yes, well…I'll be going now." Kikiyo replied.

Just as the lights began to go out, Kikiyo took her seat next to her boyfriend. The curtains rose and the show began with the minor characters jumping around in a giant rose. Once they had all token their leave, a girl with white and gold began to swing on the trapeze. Just as the girl had jumped into the air, she twist and turned as she slowly fell to the ground. Just as she passed the 

final handle, she was caught by another girl that wore something similar to what she had been wearing. Once they made eye contact, Kagome knew her partner back up knowing that she would be safe. 'Good…now for my act.'

"Damn Kikiyo…your sister is hot and good." Miroku whispered before he was knocked out by his jealous girlfriend.

Inuyasha watched as the two jumped into the air only to land on a single piece of string. His demon told him to go to her side while his human heart told him to keep watching. As she continued her tricks she easily pulled out her flute and began to play. As she played her song Kagome looked around the coward for her sister. 'Sister Kikiyo…where are you?' Kagome thought as she jumped up and twirled in the air while playing her song. Just as she was about to see her sister Kagome froze as she felt a sudden pain in her heart. 'Those eyes…I've seen them somewhere.' Kagome thought before the entire stage went up in a brilliant white light.

As the world was changed for the second tie, Midoriku smiled and said 'Your pain, your experiences shall be in your heart. As you grow in power know that you must defeat all the challenges that the gods throw at you…only then will you live in true happiness…the rest is up to you.'
