A/N Some of you guys might be a little pissed that I'm giving people
magical powers, but I said in the beginning of this fanfic that I will be
doing that so you will just have to deal with it. *sticks tongue out* Also,
you might be confused with what I'm going to be doing with Aoshi but I will
explain everything eventually. Last, I realize some of the characters might
just be a little OOC (out of character), so sorry! But it is necessary to
be able for the fanfic to flow smoothly with what I have planned.

"Misao, there is something I have to tell you," Aoshi said in a monotone. Misao's eyes went wide, "What? Is it about Himura and the others in Tokyo?" "Yes, it does have to do with the Battousai and his companions. Misao, they are not in this world anymore." "What?!?!?!?!? Don't tell me they're dead." She said tears evident in her eyes, legs on the verge of collapsing. "They aren't dead, just not in this time period anymore." ".." Misao didn't say anything for a minute then said, "Aoshi, what are you saying?"
"Misao come with me down to the well on the outskirts of Kyoto, the one you almost fell down in as a little girl but I caught you before you could." Misao laughed lightly, "Yah, I remember. How could I not? It was the day I started with my training as a ninja of the Oniwabin group. But why are we going there?" "You will see Misao"
A/N All of this was happening when Kaoru first got to Feudal Japan and is meeting Inuyasha ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Back With Inuyasha and Kenshin co.
"Kikyo, so that's why you could never really rest peacefully. It wasn't Inuyasha for the last few months of your 'life', it was to tell us about Kaoru's and Kagome's destiny." Kaede said. "Kikyo." Inuyasha whispered. Tears gathered in his eyes, but he hastily wiped them away. "Rest in peace Kikyo." he whispered.
Kagome felt almost sorry for Kikyo. Inuyasha loved her, but Kagome could not help but feel a little happy that Kikyo was gone. She wouldn't have to stress over her showing up anymore, but Inuyasha. . . She would have to leave him alone for a while; it will take time for the initial shock to set in.
Kaoru felt sorda' a puzzled. Who was this Kikyo person and what was she mean when she started saying all of that stuff about her being the princess of darkness? And about the part of her actually killing someone, and loving it all the while doing it?!?!? She could never imagine doing that, it was just to much for her to handle. "How could this happen?!?! It's not true!!! I can't be in feudal Japan, be the princess of Darkness, or kill anyone!!! It's not true!!!" she screamed in anguish. She was shaking and everyone turned to look at her to see what was going on, except Inuyasha who was just too bewildered to be distracted from his thoughts. "Miss. Kaoru." Kenshin took a step towards to try to signal to her that he would be there for her if she needed him. But she just hit his hand away and started to run blindly from all of them, into the forest, through the rain.
"I'll be right back, Kenshin whispered to Kaede, Kagome and Inuyasha; he then ran after Kaoru. "Kaoru!!! Where are you going!!!" he yelled after her. She just kept running as fast as she could though the rain, her hair then finally fell out of the ponytail she usually kept it in and let it flair wildly around her shoulders. Then, because she wasn't really watching where she was stepping, she tripped over a giant tree root and fell onto the forest floor. She grabbed at the Earth with her hands as she sobbed into the ground; hands dirty from the mud and face soaked with a mixture of rain and tears.
"Kaoru. . ." Kenshin whispered as he knelt beside her. He turned her over and brushed the dirt away from her face as best as he could with his thumb. Her sobbing lessened and she just started to hug him and he hugged her back. She cried quietly on his shoulder for a while and then just slowly drifted off to sleep in his arms, in the middle of the forest, in the rain. . .
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Next Morning
"Nn?" Kaoru groaned as she tried to sit up on a tatami matt. Her skin felt stiff and she felt at it and realized it was caked with mud. She got up and was still in the kimono she wore yesterday. 'And still in the warring states era. . .' she thought gloomily.
"Miss. Kaoru, I see you're up." She turned around startled, but it was only Kenshin. "Hey Kenshin., umm." 'what are you doing in my room?' she thought, then she said, "What exactly happened last night?" the rurouni smiled, "Nothing Miss. Kaoru, you just fell asleep and I carried you back to Ms. Kaede's house. She lent you a tatami matt and I just kept watch to make sure you where alright." Kaoru felt tears come to her eyes and wiped them away with her hand. "Thank you Kenshin, for everything." "No problem Kaoru, none at all."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Back With Aoshi and Misao Now Down By the Well on the Outskirts of Kyoto
"Here we are Aoshi!!! We haven't been here in ages! Even that big tree is still here!" Aoshi almost grinned at Misao's words, she was so naïve. She didn't know how many times he was actually here before. "Come on Misao, let's go." Wha?" she questioned and then felt him put a strong arm around her and they jumped into the well. "Ahhh!" she screamed, "Aoshi what the hells are you doing!" but he didn't answer and they just kept falling, mysterious blue lights and pink swirls glowing around them.
They floated softly down and Aoshi's feet met the bottom. "You first Misao," Aoshi ordered. Misao scrambled to the top and looked out, they weren't in Tokyo anymore. It was a forest with a big tree, like the one they saw back in Kyoto. "Aoshi, what is this? What are we doing here? Are we still in Kyoto?" Aoshi didn't answer but just called out, "Sesshoumaru (if you know the correct spelling of Fluffy's name please tell me because I keep forgetting!)!" and out from behind the big tree a woman stepped out, no wait! A man stepped out from behind the tree, he only looked liked a woman from a distance, but up close Misao could definitely see it was a man. {A/N A long time ago I thought Sessh was a woman so that's why I did it. I saw him for the first time in picture that made him look very feminine LOL}
"Aoshi who is he?" Misao asked, but yet again Aoshi did not answer. Instead Aoshi stepped forward "Sesshoumaru, is it true that the Battousai arrived?" Sesshoumaru nodded, "Yes, he has Aoshi." Misao looked from the one called Sesshoumaru to her beloved Aoshi. "What's going on?!!? I take it this is not just a chance in counter Aoshi!" she yelled.
Then, Sesshoumaru looked behind Aoshi and noticed Misao for the first time, "So this is Misao, Aoshi." Aoshi nodded and Sesshoumaru nodded back in understanding. "Jaken, bring out Rin." He said to the bushes, then a toad like thing came out with a young woman beside him about Misao's age (15ish). "Lord Sesshoumaru, who is this?" the girl asked Sesshoumaru. He didn't answer but just said, "Misao, go with Jaken and Rin." Then he walked off with Aoshi towards the plains to the left while Jaken took Rin and Misao to the forest at the right. "Why do I always have to get stuck baby sitting?" Jaken mumbled.
"Excuse me but I'm sure we're old enough not to be babysitted thank you very much so if you just wasn't to leave us alone that's fine!!!" Misao yelled, she was stressed out, tired, and had no idea what was going on. "Miss. Misao, I think it's probably best we stay with Jaken, there's many dangerous monsters out there." Misao fumed, "I could take care of them! I'm strong! Besides, um, who are you Rin, and who is Sesshoumaru? And just call me Misao." Rin smiled, "A long time ago, Misao, about four years ago I think, Lord Sesshoumaru was hurt and I nursed him back to health. Ever since then I've been traveling with him. Lord Sesshoumaru is full demon, along with Lord Aoshi." Misao laughed, "There are no demons! What are you talking about?" Rin shook her head, "But there are. And this you must accept."
"I don't have to accept anything!" Misao yelled defiantly back, Rin was patient though. "Miss. Mi-. I mean, Misao. You will have to accept it though; we will be here for a long time. Aoshi and Sesshoumaru are going to grant us some of their power and we will become demonesses!" Rin exclaimed. "I still don't believe you!!!" Misao yelled. "Then you will just have to see Misao. You will just have to see."
Okay, people. I am sooo sorry I didn't update for sooooooooo long. But, at the beginning of this fanfic I clearly stated that around Christmas time I will not probably be updating. So there's my explanation. And as for the next chappy you can expect it to be longer.
Also, I made a Kaoru Kenshin moment yay!!! Kenshin called Miss. Kaoru just Kaoru for the first time when things weren't really serious and they where just in a relaxed setting!!!! You thought they where going to confess their love and kiss huh? Well no!!! Not yet at least!!! Heh heh!
Okay ^_^. Now with that done I would just like to take the time to answer a few of questions reviewers asked me and ones I think you might ask.
Q: Why doesn't Kaede remember the long lost sister Tanun?
A: Well, I assumed that was pretty obvious since Kikyo said "Kaede you where too young to remember this.". Also, she probably couldn't remember because it was just too much a shock for a little kid to handle so just over the years she tried her best to just push the incident from her mind.
Q: A couple chapters ago, why didn't Sango just hit Miroku and all she said was he was just a perverted Hentai sort?
A: That's a good question. Probably because the author (me) felt like having Sango say that just once. Plus, he wasn't touching SANGO he was touching MEGUMI therefore I wanted Megumi to hit him.
Q: How much are you going to update?
A: Read the first page of this fanfic at the top. It will tell you in the intro.
Q: I don't get it, Kikyo said she died hating Inuyasha and she wouldn't stop "hunting" him until he came to Hell with her. So, how can for the last few months she just not care anymore?
A: Well, after three or more years walking around in a used corpse hunting down Inuyasha in a reckless way making him less and less apt to go with you. I would think eventually you would except everything and just want Inuyasha to be happy. Kikyo just wanted to live a little longer to inform them about the prophecy cause she knew she would probably have to tell them about it eventually.
Q: You make Kaoru seem so weak, I hate it when people do that!!! Why did you do it????
A: Well, I didn't mean to portray she's weak. She just sort had a nervous breakdown which many of us have at some time in our lives. It seems like the burden of her being the goddess of the dark was just the last straw and she just snapped. Later on in the story though, I'm going to make her seem very bad ass!!!!
Q: Why are you only focusing on Kaoru and Kenshin's thoughts? You're leaving out Inuyasha and Kagome's a lot, especially Kagome's!"
A: Well, I like to focus on one character's thoughts at one time so that you can feel like your reading that character's thoughts and feelings better apposed to having a whole bunch of deferent thoughts at one time and everything gets confusing and uninteresting and it doesn't make you want to guess what the other's are saying. So GUESS away!
Also, the next chapter will be up in probably two weeks. I'm trying to make longer and higher quality chapters while still making good grades in school and finding the time to read other fanfics and Mangas et cetera.
Love you all
Yotaka
^._.^
P.S. Some of you might be wandering why I'm having everyone be so nice about Kikyo. Well, I'm neither a Kikyo basher nor a Kikyo lover so I just portrayed her how I think she is really feeling inside. In my mangas, specifically in # 8, I start to feel a little sorry for her because she realizes that Inuyasha will never truly be able to love her again and Kagome and him will end up being together. Don't get me wrong though, I still am sort of jealous of her though because I want Inuyasha to love Kagome and he's just too oblivious to her feelings and. . . and. . . yah!!! Heh heh.
P.S.S. Do you guys want any Aoshi and Misao romance or Sessh and Rin romance? I think I could arrange both if you guys want.
P.S.S.S. I'm going to make Misao, Aoshi, Rin, and Sessh seem a little evil for a while. But will it be forever? Dun dun dun!
