S.M: There aren't wars over me.

Duo: You're right it's just those 2 guys fighting with ever guy they know. They show up in the beginning of all your stories.

S.M: That is really not true, nor does it have to do with anything.

Hiei: I don't know about that…

S.M: That's because it's not true.

Duo: Just tell him.

S.M: Who? I don't like anybody. :Blushes:

Hiei: I personally think it's Yu-gi.

S.M: NO

Duo: I'm routing for Gene

S.M: ::Blushes:: Ahhhh… I give up. Will one of you just do a disclaimer.

Hiei: Not tell you tell us which one.

S.M: Neither

Duo: Sure, like I believe that.

Hiei: Say it.

S.M: I'm going to go have Yu-Gi do a disclaimer.

:Walks out through her invisible door and walks into where she was and it's a war zone. Literally.:

S.M: What happened?

Izzy: Nothing. It's just a flesh wound. (He said while hoping around with one arm and half of one leg missing.)

Dou: (Appears form behind) Told you

Hiei: ::Coughs:: Yu-gi…

S.M: ::Blush deepens, sees Yu-gi on top of Ginta and Yuu:: Yu-gi!

Yu-gi: H-hi serenity… Ho- how are you?

S.M: Good :Grabs Yu-Gi's arm and drags him aside.: Will you do the disclaimer for me?

Yu-gi: Uh sure. Anything for you pretty lady… Serenity Madison does not own this Inuyasha person or any other character from his show. Nor does she own any of the other characters that are mentioned.

Yuu: You sure about. :was heard from the ruble.: OWW!

Gene: Got it.

Yu-gi: Shut-up. Anyway she and I hope that you like this chapter of her story I personally am rather fond if her… latest chapter.

S.M: Thanks Yug. That was great. I hope you like this chapter. I personally kind of like it. But it matters what you think of it. Kagome meets someone new and momentarily her bitter mask is removed. Then she returns to the feudal time and is greeted by an unpleasant surprise. (I know done to death.) At least there's a slight twist. I really hope you enjoy. Also I labeled it, it's a general view but it goes from talking about Inuyasha to Kagome, back to Inuyasha back to Kagome again. I hope that doesn't confuse anyone but if it does please tell me exactly where the troubling part is and I'll try and fix it.

Please, I hope you like it.

Protection from afar only seems to bring me closer.

To finish up

"What does that jerk think he's doing acting like that Baka Inuyasha?"

Kagome yelled as she stalked back towards her last class. 'I miss him so much and he must really hate me,' She mumbled to herself as she walked into the quiet classroom. She received glares from Yukkiri and her friends as she walked into class. Kagome took an empty seat by Yue, Hojo and Yui. They all gave her concerned looks as she took her seat with a loud sigh. The class dulled on and finally ended with the blaring of a bell. She ran out of class not looking back when she heard voices yelling to her till She got out the front door. She turned and saw Hojo running towards her.

"Kagome, how are you feeling?"

He asked her with concern in his deep brown eyes. She looked him uneasily and shrugged him of nonchalantly she caught a glimpse of him out of the corner of her eye and frowned at the sad look on his lips. She gruffed as she pulled herself next to him and kissed cheek quickly. His face instantly lit up like a Christmas light but hers remained cool and unconcerned.

"Yea… Thanks for your concern Hojo-san, but I'm fine just a little unhappy."

She answered his concerns creating new ones with her manner. She stopped frozen in her tracks when she felt a pair of arms wrap around her shoulders.

"Kagome… I wa- I want you to know… that I never stopped loving you. And I- I never will."

Kagome felt her resolve to keep up her hard wall slowly chip. But she regained control of the cracking of her emotions and stepped away from his grip plastering a placid and fake grin.

"Hojo-kun- that's really sweet of you but… But I don't love you as more than a friend."

His embarrassed smile faded for a moment leaving him looking hurt but he wiped it away shooting her a genuine smile. He approached her again and she gave him a nervous look as he did so. He crossed his arms and stood in front of her.

"Kagome I'll always love you because I care about you so much. But, I will not always be in love with you. It's very clear you don't love me, and you never have."

He explained with a sad smile. She looked up into his deep eyes and for some strange reason she felt soothed by his declaration of un-love. "Kagome-chan, Hojo-kun!" voices were heard yelling as a group of people approached us panting. I suddenly remembered something.

"Hey- you guys. I have a group of friends coming to school with me tomorrow, I can't wait for you to meet them."

She told them faking a small smile. She excused herself from her friends and ran to her house and dumped all her stuff out of her bag except for homework she needed for the next day and grabbed some clothes and put them out on her bed and left her room to go find her mother. She saw her when she entered the kitchen.

"Hi mom"

"Hello honey, how was your day?"

"Awful, how was yours?"

"The funniest thing I swear I saw you going to the well hose earlier. Then I swear I saw you leave."

She paused for a moment.

"But it could not have been you because you were in school."

"Haha…(nervous laugh.) Yea... Of coarse I was."

"I thought so."

She rolled her eyes.

"Um… Mom I need to ask a big favor."

She turned to look at her daughter.

"I want to spend the night in Feudal Japan. Just the night, I grabbed my homework so I can do it for tomorrow, and I'll be back early because Miroku, Sango, and Shippou are going to come to school with me tomorrow and I wanted them to come tonight but it's a new moon and I… They don't want to leave Inuyasha alone."

Her mother looked at her surprised, she had managed to say all that in one breath.

"Sure you can. I know your friends really care about Inuyasha and want to make sure he's safe."

She answered with a wink. Kagome just turned away blushing slightly. She slowly walked back up to her room and packed the close she had set out into a small case and left her room heading out of the house. She got to the well house when she heard what sounded like her little brother calling her. She turned and saw him getting out of someone's car. She dropped her stuff and ran to him.

"Souta what are you doing? Are you alright?"

She asked feeling worry, he gave her a small smile then the driver stepped out.

"Hey sorry about that, this guy was at the high school and had to help bitchy sister do something and he missed his bus so I offered to give him a lift."

Kagome looked up to the guy who had spoke she was looking at a tall guy who looked older than herself. He had shaggy dark chestnut hair and intense pale purple eye. Kagome stared at him like she was a love struck schoolgirl but shook her head lightly and thanked him for bringing her brother home. Souta headed for the house waving by to the older man. Kagome was about to leave again when the guy spoke to her.

"You must be Kagome?"

"Yes, and who are you?"

"Names Masae, but a pretty girl like you can call me yours."

"Oh, I think I'm swooning oh baby, oh baby."

He laughed and gave her a smile that made her cheeks begin to lighten to a light pink.

"Have we met before?"

"I don't know you look familiar as well but I can't place from where."

They stared at each other for a moment. Kagome looked away slowly.

"Gomen, but I have to get going."

"S'ok. Maybe I'll see you later."

He said with a wink, and jumped in his car and went screeching off down the road. She turned around and headed back towards the temple taking one last look towards where the car sped off. She walked to her stuff and grabbed her bags pulling them on, and trudged over to the well. She took a deep breath before she leaned against the edge finally swinging her legs listlessly into the well. 'Chances are greater that I'll bump into him…' she thought to herself as she finally took the plunge.

Around that time in Feudal Japan…

"I'm not going"

Our beloved stubborn hanyou whined as he walked away from his friends. He was so distracted that he didn't notice the familiarly horrible stench wafting in the air till he felt his body thud into something. He looked down at the figure on the ground in surprise. And found that his voice unwillingly caught in his throat.

"Why? Why did you come here?"

The dark haired girl just stared at him in confusion with what could almost be mistaken for hurt in her eyes.

"I- I came to you Inuyasha. I want you to be with me."

He looked shocked and surprised, had this woman been anyone else she would have thought her possessed, but that wasn't even possible. He looked deep into her murky eyes and saw the hidden sadness and regrets flowing within them. They stood in front of each other both had a slight apprehension in what would normally be very forward actions. He felt like he had to reevaluate his feelings towards this frail girl in front of him.

"I'm not the same frail girl you used to know."

She commented as if knowing his thoughts. He backed away from her never leaving her gaze as he continued to stare.

"In- Inuyasha, do you love me?"

He remained silent and she became crestfallen and looked away.

"Did you ever truly love me. Or did I just see something thin as the air in your actions towards me."

The girl asked continuing to avoid his piercing golden gaze. But his own eyes soon fell to the rustling leaves below his feet. He looked back up at the girl that he felt so responsible for.

"K-"

He started, but she turned to walk away. And he grabbed her arm and looked into her sad eyes, which had such hate but yet held such hurt and sincerity. He was confused by what he had witnessed in her eyes. And pulled her closer, they stayed that way for a while till something snapped Inuyasha out of his reverie. The girl in front of him was staring beyond him that's when he finally acknowledged the scent his nose had been savoring. He turned and saw a wavy haired girl wearing her usual strange clothing standing behind him with shattered eyes. His heart wanted to melt out of his chest when he saw the tears that were shining her misty blue eyes. She stood still, almost statuesque from the shock of seeing the 2 of them so intimately close.

"Ka- Kagome"

He managed to speak gripping onto his stern voice for fear of breaking.

"Inuyasha? Kikyo?"

She asked feeling quite stunned. She looked down feeling guilty and defeated and was about to turn and walk away. But stopped momentarily and turned her head slightly to look at the pair who had been in stunned silence throughout.

"Inuyasha… What can I even say. Just when I thought you couldn't do anymore damage you go and prove me wrong."

She whispered in a surprisingly sympathetic tone. She rested her head on her shoulder and stood where she was.

"Kagome"

Kikyo uttered with no emotion in her voice, but yet despite the lack of emotion her voice didn't hold the same ice it normally did. Kagome felt compelled to turn and look her deceased ancestor in the eyes and did so.

"Inuyasha I sincerely hope you're happy now. I hear hell's nice this time of year nice and hot, wait its always that way. Uh… I think you're going to be a little hot."

She mocked as she turned and started away but stopped dead when she felt something, cold and rough cling to her wrist. She slowly looked down at the threatened appendage and saw a ghostly white hand grasping at it. She followed the hand up further and found a pair of hollowed eyes staring at her. Kagome gulped a lump that had formed in her throat but kept her eyes locked with the dead miko priestess'.

"Let go of my arm"

She insisted with a faltering voice that mocked confidence. Kikyo sensed this and tightened her grip on her reincarnation's arm.

"Kagome you little bitch… You have been in my way since the first day you set unwanted foot in this world."

Kikyo threatened in a low whisper, even Inuyasha's keen ears couldn't hear her words. He was standing in the background looking at the 2 miko's feeling a little forgotten. He was extremely tense ready to pounce onto anything that made a sound.

Kikyo gave Kagome an evil and knowing smirk.

"I know you want to. So don't be a little wench and do it."

Kikyo stated as if she were reading Kagome's inner most desires, which even Kagome herself didn't realize yet.

"What are you talking about. I don't wish for anything other than you to let go of me."

"Yes… You wish me back to hell so you can seduce the poor misled hanyou over yonder."

"I wish no such thing. But I do- that you would leave him in peace or forgive him and move on."

Her icy grip on Kagome's arms lessened till she fell back slightly not removing her eyes from Kagome's.

"And my only wish is to live. To once again have blood and flesh instead of these hollowed bones bound by earth. And I only have a small obstacle in my way."

She yelled this and Inuyasha heard every decayed word.

"I suggest you leave he still is responsible for me Sorry little twit from the future… But he will not leave me."

She howled. And began to turn and move back to Inuyasha. Kagome watched the hell child's moves with interest to see what Inuyasha would do. She wasn't aware but tears had sprung from her eyes and were now blurring her vision. She watched the feudal pair stare at each other both almost look they were sizing the other up. Kagome couldn't take much more and she closed her eyes and ran for the village when she saw them going close to each other. She wasn't paying attention to her surroundings because her eyes were closed and she ran hard into someone.

What was taking place?

Kikyo returned to Inuyasha who remained staring at Kagome even as she started to cry, and even as she turned her back on him. He stared at that spot till Kikyo lead his face to hers.

"Inuyasha you do not love me anymore do you?"

She asked him flatly already knowing the painful; he gave her a sad smirk and nodded.

"I don't love anyone."

"You have to love someone."

"Iie I don't."

He proclaimed. She looked at him with an unreadable expression.

"Then I will leave you I will not drag you back to hell I will break your promise. But I ask one thing if you."

"Nani?"

He asked slightly curious; while she looked away still not showing any emotion to him.

"Will you hold me one last time."

She asked as she turned back to face Inuyasha. He grimaced but slowly approached her wrapping his arms around her loosely. She wrapped her arms around him in return and pulled him close. She snuggled into the crook of his neck allowing a wheezed sigh to come from her lips.

"Inuyasha"

She whispered into the silver hair blanketing his face. He didn't answer just grumbled showing he was listening.

"Inuyasha you know something that's the thing about a false sense of security. You think that you are in control, when the truth is otherwise."

She whispered darkly into the air. Inuyasha was confused by what she was saying till he felt pain searing through his back. He growled from pain and tossed her to the side and she stared at him though her vacant eyes with an evil grin.

"What are you doing you stupid bitch?"

He yelled his anger painted deep within his hiss. She stared back unaffected by the sharpness of his bite.

"I'm only trying to get back what is rightfully mine… YOU!"

"I AM NO ONE'S!"

He growled.

"You know that useless bastard Naraku left his pile of dust and bones with one last surprise."

She hissed with more venom than even Inuyasha's voice held. She pulled an arrow out from within her robes.

"You stole that from Kagome not Naraku, wench."

She held the arrow up to her chest so that it was pointing at her heart and removed her hand and Inuyasha was surprised when it stayed in the air only inches from her chest. She grinned at him and blew onto the arrow, it started to emit a menacing black-violet glow. Inuyasha was tense but for some reason stayed rooted to the ground where he stood in front of the decayed miko.

"Naraku engrained in my body an incantation when he brought me back. All I needed was one of that fake miko bitch arrows infused with her power. To bond with the power of my spell and I can get what I finally want."

Inuyasha had a feeling as to what she was doing and lunged for the arrow but it was to late as he leapt for it had buried itself deep with the dead miko's chest. Not even a gasp was speared from her lips as she immediately began to speak.

"Revenge Inuyasha. Revenge on you is all that I've ever wanted. My soul may now belong to Kagome but hatred has taken its place keeping me sustained much like my soul would have, a dark soul that only thirsts for revenge on that imitation. Naraku's spell allows a mistake I made to be reborn in another time. I've already found a body worthy of my graces. I WILL SEE YOU SOON INUYASHA!"

She finished in a choked gasp as her last hollowed breaths fell from her lips as her dirt body collapsed and bones faded into dust. Inuyasha starred at the stead where the girl once stood. He felt nothing for the incident that just took place, just worry for Kagome. He stood in lace a moment longer letting her iced words flow jaggedly through his mind.

"… to be reborn in another time. I've already found a body worthy of my graces. I WILL SEE YOU SOON INUYASHA!"

He jumped to the treetops and made his way to his branch and slammed down. He noticed something out in the distance and watched it with keen interest.
