Ding-dong. One minute later, Ding-dong ding-dong. Two minuets later, Ding- dong ding-dong ding-dong ding-dong. Five minutes later, Ding-dong ding-dong ding-dong ding-dong ding-dong ding-dong ding-dong din-SMACK!! Miroku now lay on the front porch motionless with a large bump on the top of his head.

"You idiot!!" shouted Sango as she tried to get the annoying door bell sound out of her head, "They not might not even be home! You don't have to ring it so many times!"

"But fair Sango," Miroku started as he rubbed the large bump on his head, "I was only eager to see them!"

"See them my ass..." Sango mumbled to herself as she made sure that Miroku didn't try to grab her butt.

"Ello? Is someone there?" said a small voice from the doorway that was slowly creaking open. It revealed a small girl around the age of 5 with shoulder-length blond hair. She wore a pink sundress that stopped at her knees. Her bright blue eyes were filled with curiosity and happiness.

"Ah, you must be Chibi Yahako! We are from the Child Care Agency to check up on you. Can we come in?" Sango said politely to the small girl in front of her.

"Yeah! I'm the one you want to see! You can come in!!" Chibi all but shouted as she opened the door wide open and motioned them in.

"Nice to meet you Chibi, " Miroku said as he stood up and bowed in front of her, "My name is Miroku Priest."

"And my name is Sango Shinayo. Also a pleasure to meet you." Sango said as she walked into the house, but not bowing for a certain pervert was behind her.

"Yeah! Likewise! Please, have a seat on the couch!" Chibi said cutely as she walked into a hallway, "I'll go get mamma. She is usually asleep at this time a day from work."

"Nice house..." Sango commented to nobody in partially as she looked around the family room. It had a cheery look to it, "Now, if their wasn't a certain someone sneaking up to me..." She looked out of the corner of her eye to see Miroku inching closer to her.

"Don't mind me!" Miroku said as he held his left hand up to his mouth and did a small laugh, "My body just can't control itself when it's around beautiful women!"

Sango sat down on the couch and then glared at Miroku, daring him to come any closer to her, so he just stood a few feet from the couch.

A minute or two later, Chibi came back with a middle aged woman. She had reddish-blond hair with emerald green eyes. She wore a loose baggy T-shirt that had a man with a sheet around him sitting in a box with it saying, 'People are no Damn Good!' (A/N:I have that shirt to, ya know). She also wore baggy green pants with a dragon on the left pant leg going in a circle.

"Can I help you?" She groggily asked as she yawned and pulled up a chair in front of the couch.

"I am Sango and this is Miroku Priest. We are here from the Child Agency to check up on Chibi." Sango said as she shook the women's hand, "You must be her guardian...?"

"Yrua Aijina (U-ra A-jin-a) is my name." Yrua said as she finally woke up "Sorry for being asleep. I was a little bit more tired then I thought I was."

"It is ok with me, Miss Yrua," Miroku said as he stood in front of her and got on one knee, "But I have never seen such a beautiful woman as yourself." Yrua blushed as Miroku took her hands into his, "So, will you give the honor of bearing my son?"

Silence.

Sango was visibly fuming in rage as she cracked her knuckles and glared ice daggers at the back of Miroku's head. Yrua just sat there in shock as she tried to process what he said. Chibi moved her head to one side in confusion.

"PERVERT!!!" Both Sango and Yrua shouted as they hit Miroku on the head over and over again.

"I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU!" Shouted Sango as she punched him in the gut, "YOU CAN'T GO AROUND SAYING THAT TO WOMEN!!"

"YOU ARE SO DEAD!!" Yrua shouted though gritted teeth, "I DON'T EVEN KNOW YOU!!"

Ten minutes or so afterwards, they finally got their anger out and sat back down, minus the unconscience Miroku on the floor with Chibi poking him on the side.

"So, " Sango said as she brushed some invisible dirt off of her skirt, "where were we again?"

"We where getting to the part about Chibi." Yrua replied, still a little shaken by the accident.

"What about me?" Chibi asked without looking up as she continued to poke the unconscience, twitching body of Miroku.

"How do you like it here, Chibi?" Sango asked as she took out a clipboard from thin air and a pen shaped as a boomerang.

"I LOVE IT HERE!" Chibi shouted as she jumped up and started to run in circles, "I get to eat as much as I want, and play as much as I want and do all sorts of stuff!!"

"I see..." Sango said as she scribbled some stuff down on the clipboard, "How long have you been Chibi's guardian?"

"About a year." Yrua replied, "She's just a bundle of energy!"

"Ok..." Sango said thoughtfully as she wrote more stuff down, "Have you ever done drugs or smoked?"

"Good heavens, no." Yrua replied mistaken, "I don't know what gives you that idea, but-"

"I'm just reciting the questions to you, Miss Aijina," Sango said looking up over her clipboard to see if Miroku woke up, "Did you ever had a husband?"

"Nope, been single all my life and proud of it." Yrua replied happy with herself.

"Sango-chan?" Chibi asked as she finally stopped poking Miroku and went over to where they where talking, "Is that man dead? He isn't moving at all!"

"It's ok, Chibi-chan," Sango said as she put her pen down and her clip board disappeared again in thin air, "He's just knocked out. He should wake up in a few minutes" 'Hopefully an hour or two' She thought quietly to herself.

"Ok!" Chibi shouted as she ran around in circles again.

Sango stood up and picked up the unconscience Miroku by the feet and started to drag him out of the house, "That's all for today! Thank you for you time, Miss Yrua."

"No problem at all!" Yrua shouted back from the doorway, "Just call if you ever want to come over!"

"Bai Bai!!" Chibi shouted as she jumped up and down, waving her hands at them, "Visit soon!!"

"Bye!" Sango shouted back, waving also. She than threw Miroku in the back seat so that he wouldn't try to grope her on the way back to work.

As she climbed in her car, her cell phone went off. Almost as reflexes, she grabbed it, clicked the 'talk' button and said, "Hello, you have reached Child Care Agency. My name is Sango Shinayo, how can I help you?" All done in less then 5 seconds.

"There's been a shooting!" The voice on the other end of the cell phone said.

"What do you mean?!" Sango shouted at the receiver, "Shootings barely happen anymore! Who was it who got shoot?!"

"Kagome Higurashi!" The voice said, "She's in the Shikon Hospital now in the emergency room! It hap-" Sango clicked the cell phone off and slammed on the gas. Why did this happen to Kagome of all people? She was a good girl, she didn't do anything wrong, so why HER?!

"What's going on?" Miroku groggily asked as he finally regained conscience and looked out the window only to find the buildings going passed in a blur. "WHAT THE HELL!?!"

"Kag's been shot!" Sango shouted back at him as she ran through a red light and turning a sharp right.

"Who's Kag?" Questioned Miroku as he finally got a seat belt on and holding onto the armrest.

"Kagome Higurashi!! My best friend!!" Sango said back as she ran through yet another red light, barely missing a few cars.

"OH! InuYasha had her as a partner on Shippo's case!" Miroku said to Sango as he tried not to think what happened to them.

"It doesn't matter right now," Sango said back to Miroku as the Shikon Hospital came into view, "What matters now is if Kagome's ok!"

~*~

Darkness.

That was all Kagome saw as she opened her eyes slowly and tried to move, to no advil.

"Hello?" Kagome said looking around, a sense of peace around her.

'Now, where, ' Kagome thought to herself, 'have I gone into now?'

Kagome tried to move again, this time it worked. She stood up on the floor...ceiling...or whatever it was, she didn't know.

"Hello?!" Kagome said again a little bit louder and hearing it echo this time around, "Ok, this is freaky. One minute I'm typing in my office and the next minute I'm floating in a black room ("I guess..." She added under her breath) with an echo, with no memory after typing up that report! WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?!"

Kagome grumbled under her breath as she looked around again. She started walking in front of her, trying to remember what happened. After the paper shredding and her talking to Sango, that was a blank to. All she remembered between the report and the paper shredder was this faint amber color.

She continued to walk, wondering what it meant, in till she felt this incredible pain on her left upper leg, just above the knee, her right shoulder and a sharp pain on her head. She gripped her shoulder as she fell to her right knee to even out the weight. She cried out in pain as it got worse. It felt like there was a nail driving itself into her arm and leg, a hammer to the head.

The darkness turned white, blinding her, then going back down. She opened her eyes slowly, the pain still not gone, to be now surrounded by a crimson red color, much like the color of blood.

"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON RIGHT NOW?!" Kagome shouted, trying to ignore the pain throughout her body, "My head...arg...I wish I had so aspirin..."

The pain went away as fast as it came and the blood red color was replaced with the white again, but the light wasn't as bright as before so she was able to see what it was in the distance. It was a huge city, filled with trees, animals and...winged people?

"Wait," Kagome said, "I can't be dead...can I?"

Kagome looked back at heaven, then turn all the way to the back seeing flames and screams of pain coming down from a large hole in the endless white void, but over there was black, darker then night.

"Well, I guess that would be hell!" Kagome said with a little laugh, "But wait, that would mean..." She fell onto her knees, with tears on the corner of her eyes, "I'm really dead, ain't I? But, I never had a real life! A family! A BOYFRIEND!!" Kagome blinked and thought a while, "Well...there was Hojo, but he doesn't count! He was WAAAY to boring and...HOW COULD I BE THINKING ABOUT THAT AT A TIME LIKE THIS?!"

She aloud the tears to run freely down her cheeks. "So, I guess that I'm really dead, decrease, expired...how did I die anyway?! I DON'T REMEMBER ANYTHING!! DAMNIT, I WANT SOME ANSWERS, AND I WANT THEM NOW!!"

She looked up, seeing the whiteness and the blackness reaching on and on through out the space. She stared into it with the tears still flowing down her face. After awhile, her body started to float up.

"Wha, wha, WHAT'S GOING ON NOW?!" Kagome said, forgetting that she might be dead, and started to wave her hands and legs around, trying to get back down, "LET ME GO, WHOEVER YOU ARE!! LEMME GO, LEMME GO!!"

^KAGOME-CHAN!^

Kagome froze. Was that Sango? WAS SHE DEAD TOO?!

^So, this is Kagome, Sango?^

Wait. Now who was that? She didn't recognize that voice...

^YES!! IS SHE OK, DOCTOR?! IS SHE GOING TO LIVE?!^

'Ha,' Kagome laughed in her head, 'She's all ways worried about me, even the smallest thing, she worries about it.'

^Yes, yes, she will live Miss Shinayo, she'll live, but I think that-^ ^THINK WHAT?!^ Kagome could see in her minds eye as Sango push a doctor up to the wall, ^WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY 'BUT'?!^

^PLEASE, CALM DOWN!!^ Sango released the doctor back to the ground and took deep breaths, ^She might loose some memories from that blow to her head. Not to serious, but I don't know how much of it would be gone.^

"So, that explains why I can't remember after the shredder and then after typing that report!" Kagome said with excitement in her voice, "Maybe I'll gain it back later!"

^Thank God, I thought that it might be worse then that. So, when do you think that she'll wake up?^

^Maybe today or tomorrow. Her wounds aren't that serious, but they generate intense pain. I wouldn't be surprise if she woke up in a few hours, though.^

^So, what will we do guys?^

Blink. That was a different voice from the other man she heard. It sounded muscular, strong and a hint of worry in there? It sounded familiar though...

^I'm going to stay here. I want to be here if Kagome wakes up.^

^I'll accompany you, fair Sango. I can't bear to leave your side!^

^WOULD YOU STOP THAT, MIROKU?! GO WITH INUYASHA TO SOMEWHERE!^

Ok...why was the perverted worker at her work with her friend Sango?

"I guess the other voice's this InuYasha character...I think I've never met him before."

^You don't have to be so harsh, Sango-chan. I just want to be here to when your best friend wakes up!^

^ARG!^ Kagome heard someone start pushing another person somewhere, ^JUST GET OUT OF HERE!^ A pause and a door opening, ^YOU TO, INUYASHA! OUT!!^ SLAM!

Kagome just allowed herself to continue floating up, wondering what it all meant. "I'm to sleepy to think!!" She finally concluded, "I'll just take a quick nap right now...think about it later..."

As soon as Kagome closed her eyes, she immediately went into a peaceful sleep, not noticing a bright blue light that in-closed her body and disappeared, taking her with it.

~*~

Sango paced quickly around the small hospital room, taking a glance every now and then at Kagome.

"What have you gotten yourself into now, Kag-chan? You better wake up, or else I'm going to the underworld and drag you back myself!!"

Sango once again started pacing around the room. She finally figured that it was too much stress and sat down into a chair, staring into space, thinking of what to do when Kagome wakes up.

'I mean, ' Sango thought, 'she might not even remember me if she did lose some of her memories. THAT would be bad. But then again, she might not remember some other things like that coffee accident or something like that. She might probably forget the entire day! Arg...and with that Miroku here, I don't want that pervert asking her to bear his child! SIMPLE UNFORGIVABLE!! But he is quite cute...

Sango blushed at the last thought. Now, where did THAT come from?!

~*(A/N: I am sooooo evil! * insert evil laugh *)*~

"So, Inu-dude!"

"WOULD YOU STOP CALLING ME THAT?!"

InuYasha hit Miroku over the head as they walked down the street to the 'Ramen House of Noodles', InuYasha's favorite place to eat, of course.

"Sorry InuYasha! Just having a little bit of fun, ya know!" Miroku said as he rubbed his head with his right hand, "I was just asking if you like that Kagome girl! She is quite cute, but my Sango is cuter."

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN, 'do I like her'?! OF COURSE I DON'T!" InuYasha protested as he blushed a little, barely noticeable.

"Just wondering!" Miroku said with his smile on his face, but with his arms above his head to protect him, "Ya know what? She kinda looks like Kikiyo, doesn't she?"

"Kikiyo!?" InuYasha said glaring daggers into Miroku, "What does Kikiyo have to do anything about this?! DIDN'T I TELL YOU TO NOT TALK ABOUT HER?!"

"YESH! TAKE A CHILL PILL! I'm just stating what I noticed about her!" Miroku said as he walked into the 'Ramen House of Noodles'.

"Let's just eat and get out of here. I want to get back home. This day has just been to stressful if you ask me"

InuYasha seated themselves and ordered. InuYasha got the beef ramen (A/N: YUUUUM), while Miroku got the shrimp ramen (A/N: Double YUUUUUM). They finished eating quickly and argued on who was going to pay the bill. Miroku lost and had to pay the bill, while also hitting on the waitress, earning him a smack on the face. They soon started off and head back to the hospital.

~*(I'm to lazy to write what happened, so, to the hospital we go!)*~

"Oh, your back all ready?" Sango questioned as she looked up from the magazine she was reading.

"Dear Sango, are you not happy to see me?" Miroku asked sadly as he got in front of her and got on one knee and grabbed her hands from holding the magazine.

"I was hoping you would be gone for the rest of the day!" Sango said quickly and covered up her blush, "Would you PLEASE let go of my hands now?!"

"I haven't asked you yet," Miroku said, "Would you please, be-"

Before Miroku could answer that 'question', Sango hit him on the head, slapped him and punched him in the gut, causing him to fall unconscience the floor.

"When he wakes up, I'm beating him to a bloody pulp!" Sango said though her rage, glaring at Miroku.

InuYasha looked uninterested at the commotion and instead was busy looking at the peaceful face of Kagome. Ok, he admits it, she does look like Kikiyo. JUST a little though. He started to notice Kagome moving her finger. Then her hand.

'She must be waking up then!' InuYasha thought happily, 'Or that loud noise woken her up.'

"Yo, Sango," InuYasha said and Sango looked up at him, "I think Kagome's waking up."

"REALLY?!" Sango said excitedly as she ran up to the right of the bed, looking Kagome in the face, "Hey, Kag-chan. Can ya hear me?"

Kagome's face tensed up, and then relaxed. Kagome's eyes opened slowly, turning her head right and looked at Sango.

"San...go...chan...?"

"KAGOME!!"
