A/N-Hey, doggydemongirl here. Know, don't get mad, but I had not updated because of homework.. Lots of tests and math homework. Anyway, here I am on Saturday writing this chapter. Because I feel like it and also my friend made me.

Know to make things clear, I was looking over my fanfic and found a little error, Kagome is know 19, she left when she was 16.

A Heart Somewhere Else

Kagome missed the Feudal Era, even though Inuyasha betrayed her. She wanted so badly to go to her old friends, but she would not allow it. So she set out to find the Shikon shards. Since she was the one who located it, it would be easier for her. And lets not forget about her training and her tamed miko powers, which were much powerful than Kikyou's. You see, with all her rage and anger she grew stronger and well... let's say, she's more powerful than Sesshomoru, Naraku, the inu gang and more. (Would not want to make her angry.) Her first stop came upon a quiet village. It was a nice site, seeing children playing and giggling. But she remembered her duty and went to find the person that possessed the jewel shard. She found the demon and killed it in a matter of seconds with her miko powers. The demon lay in front of her; it was twice her size and had a gash at its side. She picked up the shard and went on her way. She continued this for about a month, when it finally came to that moment. The moment that she would face Naraku, head on.

Kagome know had half the Shikon Jewel. Naraku had the other half. She did not know what would happen, what the outcome would be. But she knew that she had to do it. They both approached a clearing. Kagome by her self, and Naraku with Kagura and Kanna by his side and a demon army behind him.

'Should have known he would not fight' thought Kagome.

Naraku laughed coldly. "You expect to beat me, miko. Well, lets get this over with, then I can have the rest of the Shickon Jewel." With that he sent his hoard of demons at her. When he had said that, she did not know what had happened. Something snapped and she felt immense power surge through her body. Know she knew that she had this power she was ready. With a flick of her hand, she destroyed Naraku's entire demon army. She smirked.

Naraku was amazed that his entire defense was completely destroyed and, not even any damage was conflicted on her. And when she smirked, he knew he was in trouble. But he still had one line of defense. He spent out ...

'Kohaku' thought Kagome.

There he was, with his eyes blank and staring at her. Kagome knew she could not just kill him. Kohaku was Sango's sister and Sango was an important person in Kagome's life. But then something struck her mind. She walked over to Kohaku. Kohaku showed no emotion, but only started his swinging his weapon back and forth. At this, Kagome caught his weapon and flung it beyond his reach. Then when she was in front of him, a small white orb appeared from them. It went into his body and fainted. It was not to kill him, but to free him form his evil curse and rid the jewel shard in his back. After she laid him on the ground, she advanced towards Naraku. Who currently was sweating. This battle did not last very long. Naraku tried to hit Kagome with his evil roots, but it was know use and Kagome easily used her miko powers to destroy him. What was left was a large crater and the Shikon shards that Naraku held. Kanna and Kagura had know long gone, but not before saying thank you to Kagome for freeing them. They were now known as allies. After this she took the shards and Kohaku and went to the next village. It took about a week for Kohaku to get better. But he still felt guilty for what he done to his family and village. He seemed to be distant and quiet. Than one day Kagome decided to talk to him.

"What's wrong?" Said Kagome, sitting down.

"I killed my father, my villagers and hurt my sister multiple times. How can I live knowing that I did those things."

"Your sister, Kohaku has fought so hard to bring you back. And she knows that what you have done is not you, but Naraku. You should not beat your self up, for things you did not do, or could not control. It is not your fault. But, what makes your sister sad is that you are not happy and if your not happy, she's not happy."

"But what I did ..."

"But what you did does not matter. Don't you want to be forgiven? Put this behind you Kohaku. This will destroy your life. But instead, but it behind you and life a better life and make up for it. And I am sure, your father would have forgiven you. I know for a fact, that you mean everything to your sister. And she has forgiven you."

With that said, Kohaku had tears running down his cheeks and started crying. He ran to Kagome and hugged her. "Thank you" he whispered. She kept the crying boy there until evening. Then they went back and would set out to Keade's village tomorrow.

Keade's hut (After the fight)

Everyone was sitting in usual corners with a sorrow look on his face. It know had been three years since Kagome had left and no one had gone shard hunting. Besides Kagome was the one who located the shards. Sango missed her "sister", and Shippo missed his "mother". Inuyasha was the most glum. He tried to jump in to the well over and over, but to no anvil. Everyone missed her, but in the way he did. He loved her with all his heart. And know, she was gone. Sometimes he would go outside and cry, at the thought of losing her. Why had he gone to her and why did Kagome hear those things that were untrue. Know he was sitting here with nothing to do. Then all of a sudden a shriek was heard. Everyone was know alert. It was coming from Miroku who was on his knee's and holding his cursed hand.

"Miroku, what's wrong?!" asked a concerned Sango.

"I don't know. It's my hand. It hurts so much." Replied Miroku.

Then all of a sudden, the prayer beads around his hand dropped and revealed his wind tunnel. But instead of sucking everything in, it was growing smaller. Miroku could not believe it, so could anyone else. Then it was completely gone. Miroku was amazed and happy. He was rid of this curse. Everyone else was amazed, then it hit them. In order for someone to lift the curse, they had to defeat Naraku. And that meant, someone had the Shikon Shards. But a good number of them where with Kagome. Kagome. The name brought so much memories. But they all turned to sadness when she left.

"My wind tunnel is gone!!!, I won't die!!" said Miroku.

"Yes, but who did defeat Naraku. Someone with power".

Yeah, and what about the Jewel Shards"

They all wondered. Scared at the thought that someone held a fair amount of Shikon Shards and could kill them easily. But they would not worry about it till the time came. But if they only knew.

Kohaku and Kagome had know arrived at the village. Along the way, Kagome got Kohaku to talk and found out he was a boy of high spirits and very energetic. Know that they were at the village, and Kagome was talking to Kohaku.

"Kohaku, I have to leave. But can you do a favor for me."

"Yes, anything" replied Kohaku.

"When they ask you, who defeated Naraku, and brought you hear and has the Jewel. Please don't tell them it was me."

"So in other words, you don't want them to find out. Why?"

"It's just something I have to do. Please"

"Sure,"

"Thank you". With that she gave him a hug and sent him on his way. But not covering up her sent on him.

When Kohaku reached the hut, he knocked on the wood to alert that someone was there. He gulped and hoped Kagome was right. Sango was so happy, Miroku's curse was lifted, and that meant Naraku was dead. This day could not get any happier. As she answered the door, it just did. Standing before her eyes was Kohaku. And he was not controlled by Naraku. That meant he was dead.

"Sango?'

"Kohaku, Oh my God". She then started cying.

"Sango please don't cry".

With all the commotion going on, everyone came out and found a surprise. Kohaku was there. Alive? Naraku was dead. And everyone was happy, especially Sango. Thst night they celebrated but wished that Kagome was there with them.

And after Kagome saw Sango and Kohaku reunited. She left, and let them to continue on with their lives.
