A/N: I'M BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK! Hey everybody! I want you to know….. I DID POST THE REAL CHAPTER SEVEN! GO READ IT!

NOW!!!!!!!!

Okay, cool. I'm back with chapter 8, and a sad song to boot. Awesome. I'll be switching scenes a lot, so don't get confused when I switch eras. It's not like Sango and Miroku magically appear on the roof. [ reference from chapter seven]

Okay, a few more things before I let you read.

Something evil called 'my imouto' lives in my house, and I have to baby- sit the demon. *nods sadly * yes, it is very sad.

Another thing that happens to me that EVERYONE dreads is…. *dum dum dum!!!*

REAL LIFE! Oh, so SCARY! Okay, that's it. No, I'm serious, that was my excuse. I KNOW IT'S SUMMER, BUT STILL- WAIT! WAIT! LEAVE-ME-ALONE!!!! ARGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

Here's the disclaimer: GNIHTON EVAH I Try figuring out what THAT says! ^_^

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The sun was rising over a quiet setting. Three people were sleeping on the ground, one closer to the other than he should be.

And then. There was the lone figure in the tree above them, staring out the rising sun.

He settled against the rough bark of the trunk and watched the sky lighten. The others would be awake soon.

He leaned forward to glance at the little troupe. A youkai exterminator. A kitsune. And a monk. ( A perverted one, at that.)

He stretched out against the length of the limb he was on.

He should go out for a morning run. Yes, that would stretch out his legs, wouldn't it?

He leapt lightly from the branch, near the kitsune's head. Shippo stirred lightly, and Inuyasha froze.

The little demon on the ground mumbled something about a 'big mountain of candy', and promptly rolled over and began snoring lightly.

Oh brother.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The sun was rising over a metropolis. The bright rays lightened the skies and burst through the window of a girl who was in a hospital.

Kagome sat up slowly, rubbing her eyes.

"Okay," she said, trying to remember what had happened," I was on the roof…. and now…. I'm in my hospital room."

She walked to the window. Leaning out of it, she could see no half demon sitting there, looking down upon the prosperous city that was Tokyo. She sighed and sat back down on her bed. For the first time, she noticed what was on her bedside table.

A little bottle with a bunch of shards in it.

Oh no! Had she actually dropped them?

She shook her head to rid herself of guilt. Wait a second… Why had Inuyasha left them? Why didn't he just keep them till she got better so she couldn't go back. This was suspicious….

She reached over and turned on the radio.

American music was playing. And it was a very sad song.

"And now we have a song by the American band E-rotic. I believe it's called' Moonlight Shadow'." said the announcer, playing the song.

'The last that ever she saw him

Carried away by a moonlight shadow

He passed on worried and warning

Carried away by a moonlight shadow. Lost in a river last Saturday night Far away on the other side.

He was caught in the middle of a desperate fight

And she couldn't find how to push through

The trees that whisper in the evening

Carried away by a moonlight shadow

Sing a song of sorrow and grieving

Carried away by a moonlight shadow

All she saw was a silhouette of a gun far away on the other side.

He was shot six times by a man on the run

And she couldn't find how to push through

I stay I pray I see you in heaven far away

I stay I pray I see you in heaven one day.

Four am in the morning

Carried away by a moonlight shadow

I watched your vision forming

Carried away by a moonlight shadow

Star was light in a silvery night

Far away on the other side

Will you come to talk to me this night

But she couldn't find how to push through

I stay I pray I see you in heaven far away

I stay I pray I see you in heaven one day.

Far away on the other side.

Caught in the middle of a hundred and five

The night was heavy but the air was alive

She couldn't find how to push through

Carried away by a moonlight shadow

Carried away by a moonlight shadow '

Okay, that's it! she thought, This song is depressing, and I'm leaving! I'm sick of being here!!! She jumped off her bed, and grabbed the big yellow knapsack by the table, rummaging through it for clothes. She found a pair of jeans, and a light blue shirt. Quickly changing into them, she exited the room, hoping to be mistaken as a visitor.

Luckily for her, it was hospital visiting hour. Thank God for Saturdays.

Sticking her hands in her pockets, she found enough money to call a taxi. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

She walked up the steps, walking straight towards the house.

No one should be home, because Sota had a baseball game today.

Once again, she was lucky. Emptying the enormous bag, she stuffed it with some more clothes, a flashlight, an equally large water bottle, loads of ramen, some ( cough cough) toiletries, and she was off.

Wait.

" I'll need some extra bandages." she said to the empty air as she loaded a first kit into a side pocket.

Also…. she grabbed four sets of chopsticks and threw them in another side pocket.

Alright! She was ready to go! She hoisted the bag upon her shoulders and fingered the chain around her neck for her shards.

They were there.

She ran out of the house to the Well shrine, leaping into the Well.

She felt that instantaneous sizzling of magical energy as she was sent to another era.

And the energy was hurting her stomach.

She doubled over in pain, hand on her abdomen. Expecting to feel blood seeping through, instead, she felt nothing at all.

There was no pain now, no blood, nothing!

Had she been healed?

The shikon shards around her neck glowed with a serene light.

But she didn't notice.

A/N: Wow…. that must be my longest yet!

Okay cool. I had planned to incorporate the song into the story plot a bit more…. but it didn't work. Shoot. Well, until next time!

DEWA MATA!!!!
