She had met them...originally it was fine as just them...but soon he wanted to be more than just them.
(Present)
Gohan thrust his fist into Frieza's side as they traded blows before Vegeta took over with Piccolo and Tien on either side of them. It was drastically unfair, as...somehow, they were overpowering Frieza...but, despite that...he was still smiling. Gohan dropped down beside Kagome who wouldn't take her eyes off the fight. "Kagome, you should get somewhere safer."
"I'm safest here, Gohan...please, don't-" she jumped and glanced to her left as Piccolo was kicked into the ground, an explosion of dirt sprayed the terrain around her as he groaned out in pain. "Go, I've got him!"
Gohan looked to Piccolo and nodded his head as he returned to fight by Vegeta and Raditz's side.
Kagome on the other hand had her work cut out for her, having already healed Yamcha and Chiaotzu, and now Piccolo who was already moving to continue the fight. She caught his cape before he could go, however, "let me heal you before you rush off again!" She yelled out. He settled himself down irritably, but the wounds scattered across his body were many and he knew that things would only get worse if he didn't take her up on her offer. "Where is Goku?" She asked, having not seen him since they'd all shown up.
"Goku is dead..."
Her healing paused as she stared at Piccolo in disbelief... '...dead? If he's dead...then...the Frieza...' She looked up at Frieza and felt a cold fear tear through her body. "Piccolo...you all need to watch out for one another...Goku...was the one to defeat Frieza in the other timeline..."
Piccolo quirked a brow and turned his eyes up to Frieza, "who all fought Frieza?"
"...Vegeta, you, Gohan and Krillin did...until Goku finally arrived."
"well...things have already changed, I'd say. On top of that, this is no longer that timeline, so you shouldn't worry over such changes." He tested opened and closed his hands as the last of his wounds healed, "make this future yours...Kagome...after all...that's why you traveled back in time, isn't it?" He flew off with such force that the dirt around Kagome shot out in different directions.
'...you say that...I shouldn't worry about the changes, however...I have to worry about them. If too much changes...then...' she shook her head, "for Krillin, Gohan...Goku, Chichi...and Bulma...I need to watch this timeline!" She glanced up and her eyes widened in horror as Frieza started to morph into a stronger and larger version of himself. "...damn it, why did you have to die, Goku..." She locked her eyes onto Vegeta as he huffed in annoyance. She knew he wouldn't let her heal him until he was completely broken…she knew how his mind worked. "...please...please win."

"Achoo~!" Goku rubbed his nose and blinked a few times as he shook the feeling of a sneeze off him. "I didn't know I could still have allergies while being dead...I wonder if it was the same for Krillin when he died...I never asked him what it was like..." He laughed, "but this doesn't seem to be so bad, actually." He looked ahead as he continued running, "though, the road could definitely be shorter...not that I'm complaining or anything." He looked ahead and saw a magnificent building and slowed down to a stop. "Huh?" He smiled, "this must be it! This must be King Kai's place!" He giddily skipped towards the building and stopped in front of the door. "I'll train...and get back to Chichi and Gohan...it's too bad that I can't fight Frieza...but...at least I know Vegeta is alive. Oh...I hope I make it back, in time for the baby to be born..." he chuckled as he knocked on the door. Unaware of what lay behind the grand doors before him, Goku had no idea of what was in store for him...

Another change followed quickly after the last, though...Frieza had gotten much smarter. He no longer just injured the fighters... Kagome let her eyes fall to the boy in her arms. Chiaotzu had been the first to be struck down completely by Frieza. Tears burned at the edges of her eyes as she closed his and hugged him close to her. It was another war...she whished she'd brought her bow and arrows...at least that way she could be of some help. Even the gun by her side was useless...the blasts didn't affect Frieza, as she'd found out when he'd had her back to her and had been about to strike Krillin down. While it served as a decent distraction and saved Krillin enough time to get distance between him and Frieza, along with Gohan lending him a healing hand, it hadn't caused him more than a little tickle. She laid Chiaotzu down and looked to the other body.
"Yamcha...Chiaotzu...and Tien..." They hadn't even touched the ground before death had claimed them. Momentarily, she wondered if the Tensaiga could have saved them, "even that's a one-time deal..." she shook her head and turned her eyes back to the new form that was Frieza. This one was smaller, and uglier...and to her dismay...stronger. She wanted to scream out her frustration. If she was honest with herself, the demons she knew in the feudal era, would have been slaughtered horribly if they'd gone up against Frieza. What chance did she ever think to have against this monster?
Shaking her head, she looked down at her hands and her tears fell into he glow she held. "...what do I do...Kikyou, what would you do...Midoriko...oh!" She pulled from her shirt the Shikon Jewel, and her eyes held it captive. "...the Shikon...I could..." she closed her eyes and let out a heavy sigh, "what do I do, Midoriko?"
'Child...'
Kagome's head shot up at the voice, lost in time...forgotten. She had never once heard her speak, but she knew it still. "M-Midoriko?"
'So, you know who I am... I wondered...if you would.'
Kagome shook her head and closed her eyes, her barrier faltering slightly as she found herself becoming lost in her mind. 'Of course I do! What...what reason do you have, to speak to me now though...wait, how are you...talking to me?'
'There is a world, in which heroes across the universe...train and live in peace, after death. Kagome...I'm sure you have many questions, but I only have a short time to speak with you. It is only as a request, that I was given this opportunity. So, please...listen carefully.'
'...y-yes...of course.'
'Very good. Now...I was never able to teach you anything, so let this be my first lesson...the only one I'll be able to pass on.'
Kagome listened to Midoriko as she explained a method for her to use her Purification energy to its fullest, to cause the most damage. Her eyes traveled up and she watched fearfully as the guys fought desperately to kill Frieza, but they were only wearing themselves down.
'No matter the temptation, don't let yourself be enticed by the Shikon no Tama...there is no wish...Kagome, that would save your Soul from imprisonment. You need only trust in your own abilities, and the strength and abilities of your friends. Fight Kagome...you are no stranger to war...fight!'
Kagome felt the connection break, and her barrier...the shield that she'd been hiding behind...shattered all around her as it fell in a waterfall of glittering pink glow. She stood in the middle of the vanishing pink ring and looked up at Frieza as she started to hover in the air unnoticed. "Midoriko...thank you..." She tucked the Shikon back into her shirt and raised a hand above her head as a glow formed around her hand before taking shape into a familiar outline. "...I won't lose...so watch me!" In her other hand, she pulled forth from the air, a glowing pink arrow that she set between her fingers and pulled along the energy made bow. 'I will help protect the people I care about...all of them!'
The fight above her continued as no one paid her any attention, this was to her advantage, but...she wanted him to look her in the eyes and know...that she was a threat just as much as they were. She wasn't going to sit by and watch anyone else die!
"FRIEZA~!"
