As everyone was walking up a gigantic hill, there was a sudden smell of fire. They traded glanced at each other. They nodded their head once and ran down the hill. The faint smell of smoke had become more intense. Inuyasha hid his nose in the sleeve of his yukata, decressing the smell. Everyone coughed as they went through the village covered in flames.

"Is any body alive?" They yelled out. A faint cry of a child ringed in the silent air. Kagome ran towards the crying but it stopped. A 9-year old girl stepped out of the smoke surrounding her. She had a white kimono with crimson (I like crimson) and silver (silver too!) trimming and designs. But ashes were caught in the kimono. She had midnight blue hair and was tied up with a clip of a cherry blossom. Her face was pale and dirty. Her clothes were slightly tattered. She had tears in her eyes. Fear writen all over her face.

The girl looked back into a shrine that was dark and burnt. She looked back at Kagome. The others had gathers eventualy. The child backed away frightened.

"Please... please help us..." She cried. A lone tear streamed down her face and she soon disappeared. Everyone looked around. Kirara began to hiss. Her tail(s) stood straight and her eyes darted around.

"What's wrong Kirara?" Sango questioned. Kirara looked up at Sango and pointed her paw towards the empty shrine. A deep purple aura was outlining the haunting sight. The wind blew softly and the flames grew bigger. The heat got more intense through every passing second.

There was a soft humming. It was very peaceful compared to the flaming village.

"Stay here. I'm going in." Inuyasha said.

Inuyasha slowly walked into the shrine. As he looked around, the shrine door automatically closed. Inuyasha was in total darkness. Kagome and the others were rushing towards the shrine but they were pushed back by a sort of force field.Kagome banged her fist but was repelled everytime. She screamed out his name repeatidly(sp?).

Inuyasha could here his name called out from the distance. He tried slamming the door opened but it was no use. An eerie glow came from deeper inside the small shrine. Inuyasha got closer but held a firm grip to the hilt of his Tetsusaiga. He cautiously approached an object that rattled and glowed in the dark. Inuyasha sweated. A small glowing box floated in mid air. Inuyasha reached for the mysterious object. As soon as he touched it a shock came over him. He backed away and growled at the box. His hand was slightly burnt and was red. The thin string untied itself slowly. The box opened by it self and dropped to the ground. Their, in thin air, was a sword. A single shard was placed on the hilt. It was a BIG shard. The sword sorta hummed and was wobbling.

At the speed of light (snicker) it vanished and bursted open the shrine doors. Light spewed(???) into the shrine. The lavender outline of the force field faded out. Kagome ran to Inuyasha and flung her arms around him. Inuyasha fell back as Kagome kind of 'flew' to him. (She jumps, she soaring, she reaches Inuyasha... she falls!).

"Woah!" Inuyasha said surprised.

"Inuyasha! I was so worried! I thought something happened to you. I... I... I thought you were going to leave me..." Kagome cried.

Inuyasha's eyes softened. He lifted her chin up softly to make her face him. He smiled softly. "I would never leave you Kagome. I will always be there for you, everytime."

He slowly inched toward her. They ended up in a small kiss that lasted longer to them. When they parted Kagome looked at him with tears in her eyes.

"If you won't be late that is" she said playfully. Tears started to leak out. She was so very happy to see that Inuyasha was ok and nothing happened to him.

"Hey, hey, don't cry now Kagome." Kagome stopped her tears eventually. She nodded and wiped her wet face.

Miroku entered the shrine. "Sorry to catch you at a bad time but if you haven't noticed, we're in a village that is burning down. Kagome and Inuyasha stared in shock at Miroku. They then remembered. They quickly got up and ran out quickly after Miroku. Sango was on Kirara (big Kirara) waiting for them. Miroku climbed up behind her. There wasn't enough room for both Inuyasha and Kagome so they had to make room. Inuyasha got on first. Kagome got up but had no place to sit. The roof of the shrine broke down. Inuaysha quickly pulled her onto his lap.

"GO GO GO!" Inuyasha yelled.

Kagome blushed on their journey. She was sitting in Inuyasha's lap and he held her close in case she would fall off.

Kirara finally landed on a mountain top Kagome slid down from Inuyasha's lap and onto the ground. Inuyasha slid off and waited for Miroku and Sango. Miroku was soo smart and went on rubbing her butt. Sango turned around to him with glares. Miroku grinned sheepishly. Miroku was found laying on the ground twitching with bumps stacked at the top of his head. He twitched every 5 seconds. Kagome couldn't help but laugh at Miroku's misfortune. Inuyasha smirked. Miroku quickly recovered and grumbled something that no one understood. Sango slid off of Kirara and Kirara retreated to it's small koneko (kitten) form. Kirara mew happily as everyone was off of her. Sango lifted Kirara into her arms and there Kirara slept peacefully.

When they started walking around there was a humming sound coming nearer and nearer every passing second. There was a burst or air as something zoomed past them behind and in front of them. Miroku was knocked down when 'it' zoomed toward him. The sword was standing still. A soft chuckle filled the air. The source was ... the sword? They all stared at it.

"You girl. In the unusual attire (Kagome). Come." It said.

Kagome's eyes darkened and turned gray. She slowly walked towards it. She firmly grabbed the hilt and sheath in her hands. The seals taped upon the sheath began to glow. The ancient seals dissapeared.

"Yes... The touch of a strong human. I may concor (???) again." Kagome unsheath the sword to reveal a gleaming katana (sword) that had a straight blade that had an imprint (?) of the words Darkness and Light in Kanji. They stared at the shimmering sword in awe. It was a most brilliant creation. The sword gleamed in the sunlight. Blue aura of evil (XD) outlined the sword. Kagome charged at them at a very fast speed. They all dodged the blades sharp edges.

"Kagome! What are you doing?!" Inuyasha yelled.

"It's too late hanyou. The girl is in my control now. Her spiritual power is amusingly high. She may be weak but with the powers in her, she will do finely to me. Mwahahaha (just had to put that in!)!" Kagome said in the voice of the katana.

"Kagome... no... you can't do this..." Inuyasha whispered.

"Inuyasha, with the sword in control, we have to rescue Lady Kagome. The sword many imense powers. I can feel it" Miroku informed.

"Yes... I feel it too." Sango said. Her boomerang bone was in her hands ready to strike if anything sudden happens.

Kagome charged toward Inuyasha....
