I do not own
Kagome was out in her own garden area where she grew her very own herbs. She had planted some medical herbs and there were also some spices, fruit and vegetables. Thanks to Jenenji and Lady Kaede she had become such a medical gardener. Sometimes she wondered how her life would have been if she had stayed in the past. But after what happened to Inuyasha she couldn't and if she did she wouldn't have met Will.
It took her over three years to finally get over Inuyasha's death and move on with her life. Then 'He' appeared in her freshmen year in Stanford University and a new nightmare began. For six years he tried to turn her like him and taint her light. If it wasn't for her traveling days in the past she might have but because of it made her will stronger. For years she never gave in but half in the sixth year her will was almost breaking. A little darkness started to slip through the cracks. That's when Will and Jack finally caught him and saved her. Three weeks from now will be the anniversary of that day. For four years she was free from him and was able to go on with her life once more. Though she may be free she could still sense that little darkness in her. Hiding. Waiting for the moment to rise.
Shaking that feeling away she picked the plants that she needed and headed back inside. She went into the kitchen mixing the medicine she was brewing. She remembered a remedy to help Will with his nightmares and hoped that it will work. It did for her in the past when she was stressing over her homework in the eighth grade. Boy did she hate those times. As she was about to pour it her cell phone rang and she smiled brightly as she saw the caller I.D.
"Hey Mama." She smiled
"Hey Kagome, how are you doing?" Yumi asked
Kagome knew that tone very well and knew that she heard about the Hobbs case.
"I'm fine mama. I'm just helping Will with his nightmare, nothing else." Kagome said as she poured the rest of the medicine in a jar.
"What happened to relaxing on your holiday's off?" Yumi asked almost sounding like scolding.
"Mama, believe me, I'm fine. I don't get too involved in the cases. I'm pretty much a safety line for Will in case he breaks. Am actually home right now mama. Will doesn't like me getting involved as well because he worries what will happen." Kagome said
Yumi giggled
"That's why I like him. So speaking of you and Will when will you two start giving me grandchildren?" Yumi asked
"Mama." Kagome said in an embarrassment surprise but her facial expression turn sad a little and she placed a hand on her stomach. She had to hold a sob since she never told her mother this but she was pregnant when the FBI captured the Dove. She had a miscarriage and lost the baby. "I think that's a little too soon, we're not even married yet."
Kagome didn't blame her mother for asking it was natural for her to ask. She and Will have been together for three and half years now and things between them are great. They haven't talked about it but deep down she really wanted a child and didn't know how to tell Will.
After talking to her mother some more Will called saying that he was at the hospital in Abigail's room. He sounded really tired and exhausted that she knew he wouldn't be able to come home tonight. So she packed up the dinner she made, along with the medicine she brew and drove to the hospital. When she got there she found him asleep in one of the chairs. She found it cute but could tell that he was suffering from another nightmare. Placing a hand on his shoulder with a light glow of her power and pulled him out. He woke up and gave her a weak smile before taking her hand and kissed it.
"You didn't have to come." He said softly
"And let you starve, now what kind of a girlfriend would I be if I did that." She teased
"You mean future wife." He said "That's what wives do."
"They're the same." She smiled
"No they're very different. But…I don't mind that word." He smiled
She smiled at him and shake her head in amusement.
"If this is your way of proposing to me you're gonna have to do a little better than that." She said taking out two containers of the dinner she made. "And in a place that's less depressing if I might add."
"So hospitals are a no to proposing got it." He said and inhaled the food she made. "Anywhere else should I know about?"
"Well crime scenes are big no as well for me." She joked and they both laughed
Later on he told her how they found the Gardener and where he worked but the guy got away. It was all thanks to that nosy journalist Freddie Lounds that bad mouth Will in her blog. He told her that Jack is already going over to her place to investigate it. Kagome was pissed off of course. She didn't like people talking bad about those she cared about. That little part of darkness almost resurfaced until Will placed a hand on hers and told her not to worry about it.
"Hey, it's okay. I can handle it. I'm just glad she didn't write anything bad about you in it." He said
"I wasn't in it?" She asked in surprised
"It looked like she tried to get a view of you but couldn't. If she knew who you really were who knows what she'll write about." He said
"I hope Jack arrest her and not go easy." She said
"Same here." He said
They ate in silent for a few minutes and remember the call with her mom.
"My mother called today." She said
"Oh, how is she and your brother doing?" He asked
"Good. She said that they're coming over for Christmas this year." She smiled
"Not all of them, are they?' He asked
Kagome rolled her eyes and smirked.
"Don't worry Sesshomaru is spending time with his wife's family this year. Why can't you two get along?" She smiled
He gave her a 'are you kidding me' look.
"How about the fact that he said that you could do better than me two years ago and nearly tried to kill me. Twice." He said drily
"He was trying to see how good of a fighter you were. Wanting to make sure I was in good hands." She said "When he saw that you weren't gonna give up, you gain a little respect from him."
"That was showing respect? He sure has a strange way of showing it." He snort
She smiled and got up to sit on his lap which he didn't mind and wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Whether he thought that you were or not I wouldn't have listened to him. It's my choice and I chose you." She said
He smiled
"And people wonder why. Even I question myself how I got an angel like you." He said as he rubbed one hand on her thigh. "And how you're able to tolerate with my strange abilities and habits."
"I have strange abilities and habits too and yet you're still with me." She smiled
"Truth be told yours aren't as bad as mind. But it's nice to know that I'm not alone." He smiled and pecked her on the lips
"Do you want me to spend the night here with you?" She asked
"How late is it?" He asked
"About close to twelve not that late." She said
"Stay. It will be when you get there, I don't like that if I'm not with you." He said
She smiled and pecked his lips again.
"My great dog demon guardian." She whispered
"Did you just call me a dog demon guardian?" He laughed
"Okay, it's okay for you to give me a nickname but I can't give you one." She teased "Besides, you should take that as a compliment. You remember the legend I told you about The Great Dog Demon Tashio?"
"He was the most powerful demon in the western land of Japan and he died by protecting the human woman that he loved when she gave birth to their half demon son. He was devoted to her and loved her no matter what other demons thought. He was willingly to protect her not matter what the cause." He said
"That's why I'm calling you my dog demon because you remind me of him." She said as she ran a hand through his curly hair. "I know you will do everything in your power to protect me. Just like I would do for you."
He lean his head against her with his eyes closed and inhaled her toxic scent.
"Always." He whispered

When Kagome and Will arrived home the next day they took a shower and got ready. She was packing some things for her daily plan for the day since Will had to leave for his class. She thought since her doctor called her to stop by her office she could check on Abigail. She knew she shouldn't because of what Jack and Will told her but she remembered being Abigail's place. That girl needs someone to relate to and Kagome believed it was her when she finally wakes up. A part of her believed that she had something to do with the killing with her father since she remembered that little taint of darkness inside her. But Kagome also could see way she did it. Out of fear since she knew her father wanted to kill her because he couldn't let her go. So out of fear she helped him kill those girls. Once she was ready she headed out to the hospital and went to her doctors first. It seems that she is fine and like always the doctors are always amazed by her miracle health. Well it was all thanks to her priestess powers that protects her from the very bad diseases. She could still get the cold but that's all. Everything big always get destroyed before it could enter her body. When she was done she headed to Abigail's room. She took a chair and sat next to the girl and took her hand.
"Such potential she had." A voice said with a British accent
Her eyes widen but didn't say anything or even move. She wasn't sure how it was possible. The man chuckled and went to stand behind her.
"Maybe if I took you at a younger age maybe, just maybe, you might have been like me." He said
He looked down at her when she didn't answer or even knowledge him.
"Wondering how I'm here, love." He said and chuckled as he lightly stroke her hair. "I've always been here. You've just lock me in your mind. But thanks to her I was able to break free."
She still didn't respond and he started to stroke her cheek.
"Do you really think you can shut me out, my little Dove. You can't. Just like you couldn't kill me." He said bending down and inhale her scent. "Even if I'm locked away in a cell I'm still deep inside you. Both mentally and psychically."
He moved over to stand next to her and bend down and stare at her flat stomach. Slowly placing a hand there his facial expression turned to anger and sadness.
"How could you help the people that destroyed our child? How could you love the man that found us and ruined our life together?" He asked
Couldn't hear anymore of him she closed her eyes and tried to lock him back in the cage.
"You can lock me up all you want Kagome but it won't change anything." He smirked and kissed her head before vanishing
A tear shed down her cheek as she scolded herself. She thought he was sealed deep away where he couldn't get out. Was it possible that what happened to Abigail trigger something or could it be when she saw Cassie Boyle's body.
About an hour had passed by and Kagome had left the room to get a soda. When she was about to head back she ran into Will who looked worried.
"Will what's wrong?' She asked
"The Gardener went to Freddie Lounds and she told him about Abigail." He said
With that said they both hurry to Abigail's room and they found it empty. They asked the nurse at the desk who took her but she didn't know, just said that a doctor took her. Closing her eyes Kagome searched for Abigail's aura and found it. She grabbed Will's arm and led him to where the girl was. Will took out his gun and shot the guy in the shoulder. He looked like he wanted to shoot him again and Kagome sensed the darkness leaking out. So she placed a hand on his shoulder to calm him down and block it out.
"What where you gonna do to her?" Will asked
"We all evolved from mycelium. I'm simply reintroducing her to the concept." Eldon said
"By burying her alive?" He said with hate
"the journalist said you understood me" Eldon said
"I don't." Will glared
"Well you would have. You both would have. If you walked through a field of mycelium, they know you are there. They know you are there. The spores reach for you as you walk by. I know who you're both reaching for. I know. Abigail Hobbs. And you should have let me plant her. You would have found her in a field, where she was finally able to reach back." Eldon said
Kagome shook her knowing that this man was defiantly insane. Minutes later the cops finally showed up and took Eldon away. The next day after Will was done with his meeting with Hannibal she still waited in the waiting room. When he opened the door to close his office he saw her sitting there holding the form he gave her weeks ago.
"Kagome?" He said
She said nothing but stare at the paper still. He walked over to her and bend down so he could see her face. Her mask was on but it looked like it was breaking.
"Kagome, what's wrong." He asked
"I think I should give this back to you." She said still nothing looking at him in the eye
"Why?" He asked
She looked at him and a tear fell down her cheek.
"I don't think I'm getting better. I think I'm getting worst. I keep…seeing 'Him'…everywhere now." She said
She looked over his shoulder where 'He' was standing behind Hannibal looking down at her with a taunting smirked.
"I told you…it wouldn't change anything, my Dove, because I'm not going anywhere this time." He smirked and then started to laughed

A/N: Yes, the man that play's the Dove is Luke Evens if you haven't guessed yet. I can't help it I love him and how acts. I wanted him to play the character since I saw 'No one lives'. He was so great in that. If you haven't seen it you should.
