Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha... You so surprised I'm sure. I do
somewhat, in a way own my story line though, so please don't steal it.

"Once you have done that, I want you to kill the others. ALL of them." Then with his other hand he pulled out a small jewel shard. "This will help you."
"NO!" Maya yelled as the shard shot into her body, but was too far from the village for even Inuyasha to hear.
"Now mask the jewels power." He sounded almost bored with her.
"Yes Master Naraku." She said placing her hand on her necklace to focus her power.
"Now go back and do as you are told." He said handing her the berries.
"Yes Master Naraku." Maya then gathered the remaining herbs and left to return to the village. ~*~

"Did you find the herbs alright Maya? You were gone a long time." Her mother said with concern. Her daughter was perfectly capable of handling herself but-
"I found them just fine." She said normally enough. "They were just farther from the village than I thought."
"Ohh, I see. Well, the others went to take a look around the village. Everything will be ready soon, so can you go get them?" Hitomo said as reached for the herbs Maya had gathered.
"Ummm, why don't you get them? I'll finish mixing these in. I mean, you've been in the hut all day." Maya said carefully moving the herbs, along with the hidden berries out of her mothers grasp.
"Are you sure you can handle it?" Hitomo said raising an eyebrow suspiciously.
"Of course I can mother. I've seen you do it tons of times, and I've made other potions, lots of them." She said convincing her mother she just wanted to try mixing a potion that would actually do something for someone else.
"Alright. I'll go get the others then." She said standing up and walking to the village.
When she got to the center of the village she saw the two girls harassing the monk over something, and the demon and hanyou just watching and laughing.
"Come on Miroku, you have to take that hood off sometime." Kagome said with a slight yawn as she gave the hood that Miroku was wearing to hide his...uh, new look, a tug.
"Actually, lady Kagome, I'd prefer to keep it on." He said holding it over his head so she couldn't pull it off. Sango however, had a different plan. She walked over to a little girl and whispered something in her ear. The little girl then walked over to Miroku and pulled on his cloths until he acknowledge her by looking down.
"Is it true? Are you really a pig man?" She asked innocently.
"Ummm, well, you see..." While Miroku was trying to explain his predicament, more like avoiding explaining it, Shippo took advantage and jumped from Kagome's shoulder to Miroku's and pulled off the hood. The little girl gasped.
"You really are a pig-man!" She exclaimed, causing anyone in the village who had not already been watching the scene now looked over. This Just caused the rest of the group to laugh harder.
Hitomo sighed. They were almost having too much fun with this. "You can all come back now!" She shouted through the crowed that now surrounded them. Miroku was the first to shove his way though, for obvious reasons, followed by the others.
~*~
Maya blinked a few times and looked around. What was she doing? Where was everyone? The last thing she remembered she was sitting in the hut with everyone earlier in the morning and her mother was making Kagome's potion. She looked down in front of her and found the potion in the mixing bowl. It looked done. She must have just fallen asleep. Just then the others filtered into the hut.
Hitomo picked up the potion and examined it. "Well, it looks like everything is ready now." Then she turned to her daughter. "Maya, will you please light the smoking sticks." She said handing them to her.
"Sure." Maya took one end of them and carefully lit the other end in the smoldering fire. Once they were lit, a soft blue smoke filled the air. "This will help you fall to sleep Kagome." She said placing them in a bowl near the young miko.
"Won't we fall asleep too?" Sango asked covering her nose. Maya shook her head no.
"This will only cause Kagome to fall asleep. Their special ones made for full mikos. It won't affect me or my mother because we are also part witch." Maya explained.
Kagome yawned. Those things really did work. She was tired before, but now she found she couldn't stay awake at all.
"Wait Kagome, you must drink this first." Hitomo handed her the bowel with the potion in it.
Kagome held her nose as she drank some of it. She tried not to gag as it went down her throat. And she thought it smelt bad
"Now listen to me." Hitomo made sure she had Kagome's full attention. "When you fall asleep you will find your self at the entry way to all of the alternate universes you have created. You will feel drawn towards one in particular however. That is the one in which you soul truly belongs. You must enter this one and find your body. Once you've spotted it simple enter it and you will awaken, hopefully, here. Do you understand?"
Kagome thought for a moment before nodding and lying down, letting a much welcomed sleep engulf her.
~*~
Kagome slowly sat up. She had awoken to find herself laying on the ground in all darkness. She rubbed her head in pain. No one had warned her about getting a killer headache. Once she managed to somewhat regain her bearings she stood up. Almost instantly thousands of white glowing portals appeared. Now what?
"Okay," Kagome thought allowed. It's not like there was anyone here, so what did it matter. "I'm supposed to go to the one where my soul is drawn..." She closed her eyes for a moment and tried to empty her mind.
"Strange, I don't feel like I'm being drawn anywhere." She looked around at the three portals that were closest. "Maybe I'm already here?" She questioned no one in particular. Since she seemed to have no other option she stepped inside the nearest portal.
~*~
Meanwhile...
The group sat in silence, most watching Kagome in her sleep, well, if you could call it sleep.
"She's lost now, isn't she?" Maya heard a voice in her voice say. Everyone looked at her as she suddenly clasped her hands over her ears and shook her head violently.
"You have already done it Maya, there is no turning back." Naraku said to her, only her, with a slight chuckle.
"Maya, are you okay?" Her mother gently placed her hand on her daughters shoulder, but Maya shook it off.
"Kill them Maya, Kill them now."

It took me forever to get this up. Sorry! I haven't had any parental free time on the computer to do it. It's like 10:16 now and I'm the only one up. I already have the next chapter somewhat started though, so it shouldn't be long.
