A/N: I am going to warn you with this fan fiction as I have a bad tendency of switching from 1st person point of view to 3rd person point of view without warning, BUT I have to say that this fan fiction is not bad because of it…it is actually quite good…but if any of my readers get confused because of it…just let me know and I'll fix it so it is all in one point of view.
Disclaimer: I do not own Inu Yasha and if I did I wouldn't be writing this now would I?

Ch. 1 The Beginning and End of This Lifetime
I look up into the amber eyes of the man holding me. His silver hair blowing in the slight wind and the eyes looked pained as I felt the life draining out of me. The eyes looked to be on the brink of tears as I say, "Was…Was all this…worth it? Was my sacrifice enough to stop the wars and fighting and bring back the peace that should be on these lands?"
The voice that came from the man was sad and fading to me, and he said, "Don't think that way…you aren't going to go anywhere…you can't. You aren't going to die…you just can't…I won't let you…"
His voice faded from my hearing as darkness slowly over took my mind and body and I faded into the depths of death.
You must be wondering what I had to do. Well, I'll tell you what happened, which I thought, and all my dear friends thought, I would live through…
I sat by the camp fire thinking about how we should get the shards back from Naraku and restore the Shikon jewel back to its original form. I looked up to see Inu Yasha sitting in a tree in a light sleep.
I was the only one awake as I looked around the camp seeing Miroku opposite of Inu Yasha and sitting Indian style by a tree. Sango was laying to my left with Kirara laying by her head all curled up.
Shippo lay next to me sleeping soundly. I decided on my course of action then. I would have to find Naraku and kill him myself. I stood up knowing there were hot springs nearby and went to them thinking they would help me to rest.
I got to the hot springs and undressed behind a rock and climbed in. As I waded in the hot spring, an unusual green fog fell around the hot spring I was in and I quickly climbed out, dried off and put my clothes back on. I started back in the direction of the camp when I bumped into something.
Thinking it was a tree, I started to go around it when an arm reached out stopping me and blocking my passage. I looked up to see who the arm belonged to when I saw red glowing eyes and I took a step back. I knew who it was and he knew who I was.
I glared at him and said, "Leave now before I call for Inu Yasha, Naraku."
Naraku just grinned evilly and said, "He won't hear you…now give me the remaining shards."
I stepped back again as he reached for the jewel shard around my neck and I yelled as loud as I could, "INU YASHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Back at the campsite
Inu Yasha had taken notice of Kagome's leaving and figured she had just went to the hot springs nearby. He sat there making sure nothing would happen to the others. His ears twitched every now and then as he heard Kagome wading in the hot springs.
After a while, he heard nothing from that way and thought, 'Something's not right…I can't hear anything from the hot springs…'
With that he jumped out of the tree and just as he landed, he heard Kagome call his name and he said panicked, "Kagome!"
With that he quickly took off in the direction of the hot springs hoping Kagome would be ok. The others woke up just as Inu Yasha took off and noticed Kagome wasn't there. They all got up quickly, Miroku grabbing his staff and Sango grabbing hiraikotsu. They took off after Inu Yasha hoping Kagome would be alright.
Inu Yasha came to the unusual green fog and knew he had to find Kagome in there somewhere. Just as he was about to enter the fog, Sango and Miroku joined him. He nodded and they all proceeded into the fog to find Kagome.
A/N: Yes…I changed it some from the original. I think I made it better so it is easier to understand. I hope you like this version of this chapter much better then the original.
