Serenity had just returned to naraku's fortress, she was weak and tired. "Back so soon ?" asked naraku. Serenity was about to speak, but the room smelled of her orphan friends blood. Serenity made a whimpering-like noise, the smell of her orphan friends blood was coming from naraku, and she was burning with rage inside. "YOU !!!!" shouted serenity. "You're the one who killed my friends, this has all been a trick, and you must be a shape- shifter, you appeared to my friends as inu-yasha and you killed them !!!" shouted serenity. "a cleaver girl you are, now that you know, you must feel terrible, you betrayed inu-yasha and his companions, plus your team of orphans are all dead, you now have nowhere to go, so you see my friend, although my plan failed, you suffered more" said naraku. Serenity now had tears in her eyes, naraku was right. "Curse you naraku !" said serenity. "Let me have my jewel shard back now" said naraku. "I'll keep it as a souvenir" said serenity as she dashed out of naraku's fortress. "One shard is no loss" said naraku as he watched serenity run off into the forest.

(Deep in the forest)

Serenity was sitting on the grass crying, she was so hurt and sad, she had nowhere to go, and she was scared. Then serenity heard someone coming closer to her, when she looked up, she saw a woman in shrine maiden clothes with a bow in her hand and some arrows in the other hand. "Whats wrong little girl ?" asked the woman. "Everything" said serenity sadly. The woman sat down next to serenity. "Well, my name is Kikyo, whats your name" asked the woman. Serenity stared at kikyo like she had just seen a ghost. "your kikyo ?!" asked serenity. "yes, why do you ask ?" asked kikyo. Serenity smiled with delight, kikyo is a wondering spirit which means she can get her friends' souls back. "did you happen to get 4 child souls a while ago ?" asked serenity. "yes, I got them earlier today" said kikyo. "can I have them ?" asked serenity. "they belong to my friends who got killed, and I really need them so I can revive them" said serenity. "I guess I can give them to you" said kikyo. Suddenly, out of kikyo came 4 light blue orbs of light, and they floated over to serenity. "thanks, oh one more thing, can you get this jewel shard out of me ? its killing me" asked serenity. "ok, it's in your back right ?" asked kikyo. "yes" said serenity. Kikyo took one of her arrows and stuck it into serenity's back where the jewel shard was and it comes out. As soon as the jewel is removed from serenity she turns back into her normal form, her black clothes turn pink again, her claws get shorter, and her silver hair (that's in a ponytail) goes back to being its normal mid-back length. "thank you so much kikyo" said serenity as she picked up the jewel shard. "your very welcome serenity, and when you see inu-yasha, can you ask him if he would go to hell with me ?" said kikyo. "uhhh, sure, whatever kikyo" said serenity as she flew off on her magic leaf to the hideout.

(at the orphan hideout)

Serenity had just put the souls back into chris, selfina, chanel, and sarah. "huh ? what happened ?" said chris as he came back among the living. "my head hurts" said chanel as she woke up. "your back ! serenity, you've come back !" shouted selfina. "she brought us back to life !" said sarah. "yeah, but im not staying, im going to join inu-yasha and be with him from now on" said serenity. "but your our leader, we need you" said sarah. "im sorry, but I must leave" said serenity. "ok" said everyone in union. "chris, you are now the leader of the group" said serenity. "ok, I'll try to be a great leader like you serenity" said chris. "selfina, get me some of the healing herbs, I hurt inu-yasha with my spear, so im giving him a peace offering" said serenity. Selfina brought serenity some healing herbs wrapped in a blue silk cloth. "thanks, I'll visit you all someday" said serenity as she left the hideout in search of inu-yasha. "inu-yasha will be happy with me, for I have taken a few of naraku's jewel shards without him knowing" said serenity to her-self.

(where inu-yasha and the others are)

"that little brat !! she'll regret attacking me !!" shouted inu-yasha. "the nerve of that girl, deceiving us like that" said sango. "shes not to blame, shes been tricked by naraku" said kagome. "inu-yasha, who do you think hurt her so much before then ?" asked miroku. (flashback) Serenity fell to her knees, the pain from being beaten earlier was coming back to her. "whats happening to her ?!" asked shippo. "I don't know" said kagome. (end flashback) "whoever hurt her, they're gonna pay" said inu-yasha. "I miss her, I hope she returns to us" said shippo. Inu-yasha stood up and walked into the forest. "where are you going inu-yasha ?" im going for a walk I need some time to think" said inu-yasha. Deep in the forest inu-yasha was sitting on a tree limb thinking, (he must be bored) until he heard a familiar voice. "I know your sad mom, yes, yes I know...you have a point. I know inu-yasha might be mad but im still scared" said the voice. Inu-yasha jumped down from the tree limb and looked around, and there he saw serenity on her knees. Serenity had this power to talk to her mother who had passed away many years ago, and inu-yasha thought it was just plain weird. "I have a feeling that I may be joining you in heaven soon mom...your right I'll just apologize to inu-yasha, im sure he'll except it, ok, I'll talk to you later" said serenity. Serenity got up to search for inu-yasha again, but as soon as she stood up she saw inu-yasha looking right at her. "inu-yasha, im sorry for attacking you, will you forgive me ?" asked serenity. Inu-yasha walked up to serenity and looked down at her, serenity was looking at him with her innocent, shiny violet eyes. Inu-yasha picked serenity up and hugged her tightly. "yes, I forgive you" said inu-yasha. "your not mad at me ?" asked serenity. "im not mad at you, I love you" said inu-yasha as he hugged her tighter. "inu-yasha I can't breathe !" said serenity as she pounded on inu-yasha's back with her small fists. "serenity, your scent, you smell like kikyo" said inu-yasha. "you must be mistaken, I never saw her" lied serenity. "ok, I was just making sure" said inu-yasha. "what if I said I was around her ?" asked serenity. Inu-yasha dropped serenity on the ground. "start running !!!" said inu-yasha. "say no more !" said serenity as she ran away. So, for the rest of the afternoon, inu-yasha playfully chased serenity around the forest, and for the first time in 50 years, serenity felt happy.
