Rai: :::puts hand over Sess's mouth:: Don't spill!! Everything's in place!
Sess: ::pulls her hand off:: Will you tell them in this chapter that I didn't die JUST LIKE THAT?!
Rai: ::grins:: Of course, milord, don't worry about it!
Sess: ::blinks:: ...Amazing.
Rai: ? ::has a look of confusion:: What's amazing?
Sess: ::stares:: She actually showed respect for once!!
Rai: ::scoffs:: Ha, I was mocking you.
Sess: ::huffs:: YOU WERE?!
Rai: Uh, YEAH!! ::fakes coughing:: Well, here you are folks, CHAPTER TWO OF WILD'S PAST!!!
{Flashback of Last Chapter}
"If only they'd been paying attention..." someone smirked to himself. "It's time to make my move..." The trees that cast the shadows over the person seemed to shiver in fear.

Part 2: Jumbled Thoughts
Kagome sighed contentedly as she laid along Akito's back; InuYasha had called a rest a while back, seeing as Sango and Miroku couldn't keep up with the swift footed dog-wolf pack. As she closed her eyes, she began yet another confusing dream...
{Dream}
"What are you talking about? We should be safe here! Inutaisho would never let anything harm us!" cried a woman's voice. "You don't understand! Love, I know what I'm doing! It's not that I don't trust Inutaisho, it's just that, with my abilities and your abilities, those bandits will come for our daughter! They know she holds the Shikon!"
Kagome found herself hiding behind a huge wooden door as she listened to the arguing couple. 'What's going on?' Hearing something behind her, she turned around to come face to face with gentle – but mischievous – sun- kissed eyes. She blinked once, then twice. "InuYasha? What...?" "What are you doing?" InuYasha whispered.
Kagome whispered back, "My parents are arguing over something. I can just barely understand them but even then it's still hard to hear through these big, thick, wooden doors." InuYasha's ears twitched as he smiled. "Kagome, naughty, naughty! You're spying on your parents!" InuYasha whispered.
Kagome's own ears twitched. 'That's weird. I thought I was in human form...?' "InuYasha, I'm NOT spying!!" He laughed quietly as another voice said, "No, you're eavesdropping." Both were quite startled at the sudden intrusion. Turning, they both saw a frowning Sesshoumaru looking at them. "You two should be in bed or out playing elsewhere. What do you think you are doing?"
'Huh? But I thought Sesshoumaru died already? What's he still doing here...?' Kagome glared at Sesshoumaru. "My parents are fighting and I wanna know why, toshiue no hito!!" (Rai: Translation: Elder. Yeah; it's a ton of words for just one English word.) 'Why'd I call him elder?' Kagome huffed and ran down the hallway, InuYasha and Sesshoumaru following close behind.

"Kagome, Kagome!" That voice sounded so familiar... she always heard the same thing every night she was with InuYasha and his friends. It sounded like a much younger version of InuYasha's voice, but she wasn't quite sure. 'What? Didn't I already have this dream?'
"Kagome, come out and play! I've waited for a long time now, you twit!" Kagome could feel herself growl and ran out to see a young white haired, white dog eared, golden eyed boy grinning straight back at her. "It's about time!" he called up to her.
"I'm gonna get you, InuYasha!!" Kagome called back. "Sure you are!" He replied and tapped her playfully on the shoulder. "You're it!! Hahaha!!!" He then dashed away. Amazingly, though, Kagome caught up with him when they both crashed into someone. 'Am I still in demon form?'
"Owwies!!" Kagome whined, rubbing her head. "Ouch! Onii-chan!!!" InuYasha growled. Looking up Kagome saw long, silky white hair, golden eyes, a striped face with a crescent moon in the middle of his forehead, and to see he was shaking with mirth.
"Ha, shows you that you should look out where you're going!" Kagome growled and said, "No fair!! You did that on purpose, Sesshoumaru-san!" Sesshoumaru smirked. "Did I now?" InuYasha muttered something under his breath that neither Kagome nor Sesshoumaru could hear. "What was – Naraku!" Sesshoumaru turned around in record speed as he rescued his brother and Kagome from being hit with Naraku's claws.
"Ha, so you CAN fight, Sesshoumaru!" Naraku's voice called. Sesshoumaru smirked. Turning, he put InuYasha and Kagome down. He smiled at them. Kagome just looked confused and slightly frightened. 'I don't get this dream at all...' InuYasha smirked. "Showoff!! I coulda done that too!!" Sesshoumaru smirked right back at him.
"Ha, shows you what you should—" InuYasha suddenly cried out, "Oh no!! Sesshoumaruuuuuuuuuu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" There was a claw right in the middle of his chest, where his heart was. Sesshoumaru was dead.
Kagome screamed and then everything turned black...
{End Dream}
"Kagome!" Kagome blinked as she realized something had happened during her nightmares. "InuYasha?!" InuYasha and the others were seemingly caught in some sort of barrier. "Kagome! Look out!!" InuYasha called to her. Kagome turned around quickly and just barely dodged the sudden energy ball shot at her.
"Where'd THAT come from?!" She shouted angrily. She wasn't angry at the others; oh no. She was angry at herself for letting her guard down and not being able to help her friends out. "I'm surprised, dear Kagome... that you would let your guard down and not even sense me near..." Kagome's eyes widened a fraction before narrowing as she looked in the direction of the voice.
"Well, well, well, if it isn't the cowardly moron Naraku," she drawled out. Naraku gave her a maliciously smile. "You're lucky you even get to see me, my dear..." If Kagome was angry before, she was raving mad now. "I. AM. NOT. YOUR. DEAR!!!!!!!!!!!" Kagome pulled out Hoshiha and pointed it at Naraku.
"I've had enough of you, you little baboon arsehole! Why can't you just leave everyone alone and die already?!" Kagome positioned herself to lunge at Naraku. He laughed – causing everyone nearby to wince – and said, "Do you think you could kill me? Sure, you might have injured me, but as you can see... I'm alive and healthy and you STILL are just a weak, raised-in-the- wild girl!"
If Kagome was raving mad... well, she was now burning with hatred. "Na...ra...ku!!!! WHY DON'T YOU JUST SHUT UP AND FIGHT, YOU COWARDLY BASTARD!!!" Kagome screamed, surprising everyone around her, including Naraku. "Well, I didn't know the little wolf-raised girl knew such words. But if you can back those words of yours up, do so now, little girl!!" Naraku sneered.
"Then I shall!" Kagome jumped forward – catching Naraku of guard – and lunged, Hoshiha pointed right at his heart. "Hoshiha's Kibishisa Nikurashii!!!" Kagome cried. "I am not so merciful with people who kill with no reason!" Hoshiha began glowing as it pierced Naraku's chest. Naraku blew into a million pieces, covering nearly everything in his acidic blood. Nearly. The barrier that held everyone protected them and Kagome's miko powers protected her.
"Hahaha! I see you've gotten even stronger than the last time we fought, wolf-raised girl! That was but a puppet, and for your satisfaction, there are more to come!" Naraku's voice called out and then faded away completely.
The barrier around InuYasha, Sango, Miroku, Reinu, Akito, and the rest of the collected dog-wolf pack disappeared. They all ran fast as they could to see Kagome, and found her clutching her sword and unconscious. "Kagome..." InuYasha whispered. "You did good."

Sesshoumaru paced back and forth as he had been doing the past few hours – days on Earth to be exact – when Brokefang said, "Sesshoumaru, you're getting me dizzy again. Stop pacing and let me have some relief from my headache." Sesshoumaru sighed and stopped. "Forgive me, Brokefang, but I was – and still am – worried about my brother's group. My head aches as well."
Brokefang gave him a thoughtful look. "Your head aches? Why?" Sesshoumaru rubbed his temples as he said, "When I was trying to remember how EXACTLY I died, my head began to ache. I've been trying to figure out why. That's why I was pacing. Pacing helps this Sesshoumaru to think." Brokefang rolled his eyes at the way Sesshoumaru talked about himself in third person.
"Don't you ever just let fate run its – wait, did you say that the reason you had a headache was because you were trying to remember something but when you did you ended up having a headache?" Sesshoumaru, who had been slightly muttering to himself, jolted at Brokefang's sudden brief description of how he was feeling at that moment.
"Yes... Yes, I did." Brokefang cocked his head to the side and then, standing abruptly as he had been lying down, howled. Tyaa came trotting into the chamber. "You called, my dear?" she asked. "Sesshoumaru said that when he was trying to remember how EXACTLY he had died, his head began to hurt, and the reasons he been pacing the last few hours was because he couldn't understand why he would have trouble remembering how he had died. I, for one, think it is strange..."
Tyaa nodded, her eyes clouding over in thought. "Hm, you're right, it IS odd that he cannot remember the exact details of his death, but then, not many do if you were killed just like that. Maybe... Maybe our Kagome will remember how...?" Sesshoumaru's eyes suddenly blazed anew with fierce determination. "That's it! Before my headache came around, I remembered seeing Kagome when I was still a pre-teen!"
Brokefang looking into the chamber's Mirror of Dreams' Visions. "Well, it looks like Kagome's asleep. You can visit her again and ask. Sesshoumaru nodded; eager to get some answers to his questions. As he got ready to visit Kagome's dream realm, he wondered where the great miko Midoriko could be, seeing as she was dead herself. He had hoped he would encounter her here in the haven of Kami, but he had yet to see her.
"See you guys in an hour," Sesshoumaru said and dived into the Mirror of Dreams' Visions. Brokefang and Tyaa called together, "We'll be here waiting and ready for any news you've gathered, Sesshoumaru."
[][][][][][][][][][][][][]
Kagome's thoughts were a tangled mess, causing her to have to constantly drift into daydreaming and then suddenly just snap back into reality at the last second. "Kagome? What's wrong?" InuYasha asked, concerned. Shaking her head, she replied, "Nothing. I just keep seeing this vision." InuYasha raised an eyebrow. "Oh...?"
