A.N: Thanks for the reviews. Sorry for taking so long, my mom disconnected our computer!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Chap #3~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Kagome-mama!" Inu-yasha spun around at the sound of Shippo's fearful cry. When he caught sight of Kagome lying on the floor he did the only thing he could, he ran to her side and began trying to revive her. Inside his mind was screaming ' Gods she cannot be dead, she cannot be! NO! NO! NO!' Suddenly the fog of panic shifted leaving some room for clear thoughts, 'She is so cold, why is she so cold? Gods she's not breathing!' It was true, the usually warm steady breath of Kagome was missing, and her chest was still. 'No, Kagome, you can't leave me, YOU CAN'T. I love you.'

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Kagome's p.o.v ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I woke to find Inu-yasha, Sango, Shippo, and Mricku leaning over me, sorrow etched in the lines of their faces and shining in their eyes. "What's wrong?" I thought the sentence clearly, but my mouth would not form the words, my voce would not give them life. I was mute. Panic, it seized my brain so fast I could not fight it. Screaming in silent terror, I shot up into a sitting position. With the relief at knowing I wasn't paralyzed as well as mute, there came another sensation, it was a cross between an inner sigh and the feeling of a band-aid being pulled off skin, overwhelmed and relieved, pleasure and pain, and a sense of oneness and aloneness where all bottled up in that one movement. It was gone so fast I could barely register it, before it slipped from my mind. Out of habit, I raised my hand to my throat, only to find that the Shikon no Tama shard was gone, 'NO, it can't be lost, I was so careful, where is it!?' Thought raced threw my mind in a blur, before I somehow managed to get myself under control, ' Just calm down Kagome, the chain probable broke, it is more than likely laying on the ground behind you.' I turned around, only to have all thoughts of the Shikon shard wiped from my brain, lying on the floor was. ME! In my shock and horror, I instinctively reached for the one person who made me feel safe, Inu-yasha. As I threw my arms fervently around his neck, but instead of supporting my weight, I fell, right threw him, hitting the floor with an almost inaudible thump! Panicking again I scrambled away from them into the darkness that I hadn't even noticed was there, my friends didn't react to my mad dash to get away from them, only continued to keep a silent vigil at the side of the thing-that-wasn't-me-but-looked-like-me. I wonted to scream at them, "I'm here, please look at me!" deciding it was worth a shot I did, I screamed at them as loud as I could. I was shocked to find that I could talk, but still there was no reaction, no sign of them caring. "They can't hear you, there souls are still in the physical world, a place you no longer inhabit." I spun to find Kikyou standing there calm as ever, "Kikyou, what's going on, how did I get here?" "You got here by Astro Projection, the ability to let your soul leave your body, where here because this is limbo, the place between life and death, our soul slept here for centuries before it woke up and was reincarnated into you." "Ok, but what's going on?" "You are here to learn how to master your miko powers, I will be teaching you, every time you fall asleep or get knocked out, you will come here, understood?" "Yes." I replied "Good, now it is time for you to go home, and Kagome?" "Yes, Kikyou?" "Don't discuss this with anyone, until the time is right." "How will I know the right time?" "You'll know." Was all I got as an answer. Then, suddenly, I was being hurled backwards toward my silent-not-here-friends and the me that lay deathly still between them.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Normal P.O.V. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Inu-yasha let out a sigh of pure relief, when Kagome opened her beautiful brown eyes, she was all right. Relief was replaced with worry when Kagome asked, "What happened. What's wrong you guys?" "You don't remember?" Inu-yasha asked in disbelief 'How could she not remember? She was DEAD!' "IF I REMEMBERD WOULD I BE ASKING, NO!" Kagome yelled, cross. 'I remember, but I can't tell you, I'm sorry Inu-yasha.' "Kagome- mama, I was so scared!" Cried Shippo leaping on to Kagome's shoulder and giving her a strong hug. "Kagome-sama, perhaps you should get some-" Miriku was cut off by the fearful cry from outside of "DEMON!"
