Kagome had sat down with her pack. With tears she told them of the night she got away all of it. She told of how she blacked out and then got away. She told how she had the great miko check and yes the monster had taken her virginity some thing she could never take back. She cried as her pack hugged her none of them judged her none saw her any different than before. They all had the same feeling to make the monster pay for his actions. Kagome had a little more color as she walked with her pack now. She knew that she would break here and there till she found a way to except what was done but she also knew that she was not alone.
Kagome sat with the flowers moving her aura as she moved a flower with her fingers. It took all her thoughts to move both her body and aura but she was getting better. She pulled her aura back in as Mia's ladies walked up. "We have been looking for you." The girls spoke as one and always like one. Kagome turned they were the ones who giggled in the halls and spoke about her in whispers. She had a hard enough time with dealing with her life these brats were making it harder. "How can I help you." Kagome was growing tired of them. "Come on now we heard from Mia who was told by your warrior about how your are not pure." Kagome chose not to speak. "We know how you used it to plan your escape that night. We think you should step down as a miko dissappear into the woods." Kagome was growing red her Sesshomaru never spoke to Mia about her. She knew that her secrete was safe with him. Kagome stood. "I have no idea what you ladies are talking about." Kagome was about to walk off when the three circled her. "We aren't the only ones. They all under those smiles want you to give it up. You can never be a true miko when you will give that away to save your life." Kagome had to listen as they spoke those words over and over. "Stop! That did not happen I would die before give it away. It was taken from me you evil evil girls." Kagome pushed passed them right into Mia. "Ladies how dare you treat her like this." Mia pulled Kagome into her arms. Kagome right away knew this was a game to them. "Thank you Mia. I need to go get something to eat." "Oh well let me walk you so that my ladies wont follow you. They are board and when they do they can get mean." The girls giggled as Mia walked off. Mia walked as Kagome was right next to her. She was still looking pale but color was starting to show. "Oh my dear don't take their words to heart. I think its brave to stay and be a miko after what you went through. I mean most take their lives to show that they are pure. Yes you have more heart then them." Kagome felt a part of her she had locked up the part that did want to die the part that wanted to give up. "Thank you my lady." As they walked into the dinning room Sesshomaru saw them and took Kagome by the hand. "What has she been saying to you Kagome?" Kagome was taken back had he told her what had happened. "She was just saying I was brave for facing what I have." Kagome pulled her arm away and walked to get food. Sesshomaru was worried did she think he told Mia what had really happened. Mia smiled. "My ladies were picking on her I helped her here and now I am off to have a talk with them." Mia was gone and Sesshomaru once again was worried Kagome wouldn't talk about what Mia said and that was that.
Kagome was getting ready for bed when she heard a knock. "Come in." Kagome watched Sesshomaru walk in he was in his sleeping clothes and sat in his chair. "Did you tell her?" Kagome had to know. "No. She is pulling at thin air and trying to get the truth. " Kagome looked down. "I might have told her a part of it I lost my cool with those.. I yelled out that he it stole from me." Sesshomaru nodded. "They are good at that I really hate when she brings them with her." Kagome smiled. "I guess I know you would never tell her something like that about me." Sesshomaru moved to the end of her bed. "I would never talk to her about you. I may be her friend but you mean everything to me." Kagome smiled as she finally laid down waiting for sleep fear of her dreams on her mind.
Kagome woke in her dream she was in her room but alone. "Why live tainted." Kagome looked for the voice but no one was there. "You could have fought him before he knocked you out." Kagome stood this time she was looking in the darkness for the voices. "You should just end this before you hurt them." Kagome then walked out into the hall there the voices seemed to be louder. She then saw everyone just looking at her. "You are weak Kagome." Miroku appeared and then disappeared. "You are a waste of breath." Inuyasha appeared and disappeared. Kagome was crying as she turned and started to run. She ran till she was at the end of one of the outside walls. She would never be able to jump and make it to the other side and a fall from this high if she didn't try could end her life. "Really now this is how you are going to end it?" Kagome turned to find Naraku. "Why not. I don't even know if I can fight against you without freezing up. What if I get them killed because I can't get over this." Naraku laughed. "Your fire is growing dull. I might not even want you soon." Kagome moved back a step she could feel that the edge was closer. "What this little thing is what I needed to win. I will miss your sweet body but I guess your soul will do." Kagome moved as Naraku reached out to her. She over stepped and started to fall to the ground.
Sesshomaru woke to find Kagome was sleep walking she seemed to be sad and he walked right behind her. She walked all the way out onto the gate wall to a part that was broken so if you fell you would hit rocks at the bottom and it was too far apart for a human to jump. He wanted to call out to her when she spoke. "Why not. I don't even know if I can fight against you without freezing up. What if I get them killed because I can't get over this?" Sesshomaru felt a chill run through him she was thinking she would be better dead worse that they would be better if she was dead. Kagome moved back towards the edge. Sesshomaru moved again this time Kagome jumped back as if someone else was there. He jumped as Kagome started to fall. He was able to take hold of her but her arm had hit one of the sharp rock edges on the way down. He ran to his father's room. He was about to knock when his father opened the door Sesshomaru brought Kagome in where the great miko started to work on Kagome's bleeding arm. "You say sleep walking? This is the first time too." Inu no Taisho looked up for a moment. "Has anything new happened today ?" Sesshomaru thought he was about to say no then he realized Mia and her ladies had been with her today. "I think Mia's ladies put thoughts in her head today and maybe Naraku was feeding on her nightmare. He was there tonight and he let her fall." Inu no Taisho nodded. "He does not love Kagome. He wants her if only the fire is there but if she is going to break he will just take her soul." Sesshomaru was pissed that monster would just use her till she was nothing then just kill her. He was going to pay for all this.
Kagome woke in the dark her dream was so real she was sure she had fallen to her looked around this was not her room. Sesshomaru was next to the bed on a long couch then she knew she was in his room. Kagome moved her right arm only to feel pain. "What... how..." Kagome jumped when Sesshomaru rolled over. "You did fall. You were sleep walking. We would be worse if you die Kagome. You will live and you will fight again you just need some time that is all" Kagome was in shock Sesshomaru must have heard her talking in her dream. "How can you be so sure. I feel like a bag floating around blocking you all from doing your jobs." Sesshomaru laughed. "If anything we block you from doing what you do best. Kagome the fire inside you is stronger than anyone I know and that includes my father and mother." Kagome smiled. "I never wanted to feel like I wanted to die. I just have had times when I think about what he took from me." Sesshomaru was now sitting on his bed next to Kagome. "Yes he took something that can never be given back. I think though that since it was stolen you can still one day give it to someone who you want to give it to." Kagome turned red. "Thank you Sesshomaru I feel better every time we talk." Kagome started to feel tired once more and laid down. Sesshomaru didn't move he sat on the bed next to his miko and smiled for once she was in peace.
Kagome was back in her dream and she was in her garden. Kagome smiled as she moved flowers around her body. She was happy and felt for a moment that she was her old self once more. "You really think that I wont find you every time you close your eyes" Kagome wanted to run but knew she had to face her problems head on she had those around her to help and now was the time. "I want you out." Naraku smiled but was a little nervous. "What was that my darling flower." Kagome took in another breath and she could swear she felt Sesshomaru's hand on her shoulder. "I said I want you out! Naraku I want you out of my head and my dreams." Kagome turned fast and her aura flew tossing him into a large pond that appeared. The water started to pull at Naraku trying to hold him under the water. "My dreams I control them. I forgot that but I remember. I am coming to get you Naraku better get ready." Kagome then saw nothing Naraku and the water was gone. She was free from him in her dreams. She sat back down now she had to get her dreams to become real.
Naraku woke all wet as he looked over at the demon who helped control dreams. "She was too strong for me master." The demon bowed as Naraku started to laugh. "That was the fire I was looking for. I just hope that she can bring it back into this world. I crave the fire inside her." Naraku laughed some more as he walked off to dry himself. Ichiro stood outside the door he could hear his master and for a moment he felt a chill he was going to have to talk with his old friend.
