Man. You guys really don't like to review. All you have to do is click the review button and say. It was good, or it was bad. That's all you have to do to get me to post more! Well, I'll make an exception this time to post more after only getting 4 reviews when I asked for at least 7.

Now, on with the story!

Enjoy!

**Kagome's POV**

"You're Kikyo?" I asked confused. How could Kikyo be here?

"Yes. But I'm not exactly the Kikyo you know. I am the future Kikyo." Kikyo stated.

Now I was even more confused. The future Kikyo? That didn't make any sense.

Kikyo must have saw the confused look on my face, because she sighed and said, "When Naraku was in the final battle between Inu yasha-"

I cut her off. "But we haven't had the final battle yet."

"Remember. This is the future. Five hundred years after Naraku's demise. Anyway, Inu yasha lost. He couldn't make the tessiaga transform. Naraku killed him easily with one blow." She paused for a breath. "You were not suppose to die, girl. If you were still alive than so would Inu yasha, and he would have beaten Naraku. Then Naraku wouldn't be in control of the feudal era."

I looked to the floor in shame. My death caused a whole chain reaction of horrible deeds. Then I thought struck me.

"Kikyo, how come you are still alive?" I asked out of the blue.

Kikyo looked away from me with a small smile. "Time has stopped for me. I will never age. I live in a mirror. Nothing will change." Then, she looked at me with her usual serious look. "You have to stop these events before they occur."

"But how?"

"You will have to go back into time. Before you were killed. To the exact moment when Shido was about to devour you."

"I still don't know what to do." I complained. "I don't know how to go through time like that...and even if I could, I'm dead!"

Kikyo looked at me. I could see a tinge of annoyance on her usually stoic face. "It doesn't matter if you are dead or not as long as you have your soul. I will supply the time machine." With her saying that, I saw Kikyo lift her hand up, and shoot some of her power at the black space.

To my amazement, a portal opened up. A swirl of blues and greens.

"Hurry!" Kikyo yelled over the roaring sound of the winds coming through the time warp. "The portal will close in a few seconds!"

Not having to hear her twice, I quickly stepped through the swirl of colors. It was strange going through time. Different then going through the bone eaters well. I felt like I was floating on air.

Suddenly, the floating sensation was cut abruptly when I found myself sitting on the floor in my room.

"If you give me you're life than I will raise you're friend's from the dead." I heard Shido say to me.

"No!" I screamed! Just do as Kikyo says. Just do as Kikyo says. That's all I thought as I said this.

It will work, because he already brought my friends back before. In the future they are alive and since he already brought them back their not dead. It was confusing, but it was true.

"No? You don't want you're friends back?" he asked me as though he didn't care.

"It doesn't matter." I said smirking. "Because there alive now."

"What are you talking about? There dead. You killed them."

"Yes, but" I stopped and looked into Shido's eyes. "I'm the future Kagome."

"The future you? How absurd."

"Believe what you want, but I have to go." With that, the portal Kikyo created reappeared. She said I only had a few minutes and boy was she right!

As last time, that light airy feeling filled my being as I floated through space and time where I belong. *~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~! "Kikyo! Kikyo, I did it!" I shouted in excitement as I looked for her. "...Kikyo?"

But Kikyo was no where to be found. I was alone, and dead, once more. But the question I wanted answered now was: why am I still dead?

**Hiei's POV**

The fight wasn't going so well. With Shido able to put up these spirit barriers with Kagome's power, we couldn't even get close to him!

Then, the most amazing thing happened. We got him! Shido looked utterly confused though.

"Wha-? Why won't my barrier power work?" he kept putting his hands out as though he were about to erect a barrier, but nothing happened. "Whats happening?!" He roared.

"The power. It doesn't belong to you now." I heard a familiar voice say. Turning around, I let out a small gasp. "Kagome?"

Kagome looked at me. "Do not call me that. I am Kikyo. Kagome's incarnation." She stated calmly. No emotion showing on her face.

"What do you mean that power doesn't belong to me now?" Shido yelled at 'Kikyo'.

"Kagome has regained her powers back, demon."

"That is not possible wench! I devoured her myself-"Shido stopped short suddenly. "That can't be...my memories...there changing."

"The girl was able to fix her mistakes with my assistance."

"But where is she now?" I asked before I knew what I was saying.

"That girl...Kagome, is still dead. She is forever trapped in the space of no continuance. There is no way to get her out that is known. I was only able to visit her for a few minutes." Kikyo explained.

"What...what will happen to her there?" Yusuke asked.

"Either one of two things will happen to my reincarnation. One, her soul will eat her from the inside out, or she will forever be frozen in a mirror like stage as I am. Neither is very pleasant."

Just the Shido attacked in a rage. "Just because I don't have the powers of the priestess anymore, doesn't mean that I can't kill you!" he charged at them.

"I have had enough of you're interference, demon." Kikyo stated calmly. Lifting her hands up, she started to form a large ball of purifying power. "You knew if you ate the girl, no one could stop you. After all, you are a demon. And all demons can easily be purified." With that statement, she shot the power at Shido.

Though Shido's necklace saved him. "I will get you next time!" He yelled as the necklace pulled him into another dimension. (A/n: give me a break. I have writers block yet I'm still writing this chapter for you.)

"Now," Kikyo said as though nothing had happened. "Kagome can never come back. Don't try to save her, or you will just end up like her." With that she walked away.

Kikyo never coming back.

"That woman Kurama started. "Was incorrect. There is a way to save Kagome. I know this, because I once too was stuck in this situation."

We all looked at Kurama in shock. There's a way.

Well, that was a nice long chapter. *stretches* too long to write if you asked me, but you didn't. LOL. Well please review. I wasn't at least 7 reviews for the next chapter.

PREVIEW: If there's a will there's a way and the spirit detectives plan to find it. Kagome, still stuck in the space warp, feels lonelier and lonelier. She starts t feel the blackness in her heart build as she feels that no one cares about her. Meanwhile the spirit detectives have to go through the obstacles of obstacles to find her, but when they find her... find out next time on Red Roses and Black Thorns.
