Okay, i know i shouldn't be updating a new story, but anyone who has a real problem with it can just bite me, cause this has been in my head for a verry long time and it's just now coming out in coherent thought.

Okay, review, but i'm not promising responses, i'll try. As always, sorry for the spelling, i have no spell check at all.

now, on with the story...

Sesshomaru swung Tokijin in a swift downward ark and was quickly blocked by tetsuaiga.

"Inuyasha watch out!" screamed Kagome.

"Kagome, get out of here!" Inuyasha yelled back.

"I grow tired of this, brother." Sesshomaru said simply as he dodged one of his brother's attacks, then a thought formed in his mind.

He dissappeared, and reappeared behind kagome, pinching the nerve on her throat before she even knew what was happening.

As she fell, he swung her into a bridal style position in his arms.

Inuyasha stopped mid-swing, realizing what had happened.

"Damn you sesshomaru! you leave Kagome out of this!"

"Damien is coming, brother. If you don't listen to me, then you and her and all of us will dissappear. If you want to see this little human again, then come to the god tree at midnight in three days. Train hard, dear brother."

At that, sesshomaru took off, Kagome still in his arms.

"Damn you sesshomaru!!!!!" Inuyasha yelled and struck the ground.

Sango, shippou, kirara, and Miroku were behind him, looking at the sky.

"Inuyasha, who is damien?" Miroku asked.

sesshomaru entereed the clearing, a slight tingle of majic crossed his skin.

"Lilith?" he called, kneeling so that he could get a better grip on the dead weight that was Kagome.

"Yes Sesshomaru?" came a reply close behind his ear as a flaming haired woman walked out of the darkness.

"I have come to ask a favor, in return for this sword."

She paced around him.

"Interesting, the lord of the Western lands has come to bargain. Safety for your brother's human, for the sword made to kill your brother...Very interesting indeed. You know the legend?"

Sesshomaru nodded.

"Then i will repeat it. The one within the circle will sleep a thousand years, sheilded from creature and demon and human alike by the fires of avalon. only to be awakened before the Thousand years are gone, by the one's soul mate."

sesshomaru nodded.

"Lay her upon the stone."

When he was outside of the circle, he took off Tokijin and held it out to the red haired woman.

"No, i belive you will need this. I have read the stars as well, and i fear that she wont be awakened before the thousand years are gone. If you come back, then pay me."

she waved him away, and was soon concealed by fires of her own making.

Looking beyond the wall, Sesshomaru could already see the tendruls of vines entangling in her hair and clothes as her clothes changed from that of the uniform she always wore to a beautiful white Kimono.

then he walked away.

One thousand years later.....

A group of soldiers were gathered on the path, trampled down by so many feet.

"I warn you, do not touch the flame." Came a rhaspy voice from behind the young man.

Buzz off old man, we don't need you anymore.

One of the soldiers ran and tried to jump through the flames, onl to dissappear in a cloud of ashes, his scream cut eerily short.

The guide came forward through the crowd. He unwrapped his gloved hand and held it up.

It was crisscrossed by multiple burns, scarred horribly.

After the others left, The old man lingered there for awhile.

"It has been a thousand years, and you have not even aged a day." He sat on a stone.

"It is time for you to come out of the flame and join what's left of your friends, Kagome." he said, softly.

"Who are you, wolf?" came a soft voice.

"I am Kouga, prince of the eastern wolves."

"Ah, the wolf." Came the voice again.

"Aye, it's me. is it time yet?" He asked.

"Yes." came the voice, then a woman came through the flames, her hair the color of the flames around her. "I am lilith, of the beginning." she stated calmly. "Now, let the flames disperse and the maiden awake."

Suddenly the flames burned blue, then white, then they were gone.

Kagome's eyes fluttered and she yawned widely as if she were just waking up from a nap.

Then she opened her eyes...

"AAAAAAAAAAH!" she screamed, making kouga cover his still sensitive ears.

"Get away from me you creep!" She squealed, backing up so far that she fell off of the stone with a soft thud.

"Kagome, it's me, kouga."

She gave him a sarcastic look.

"It's true. He is Kouga of the wolf tribe." came a voice that Kagome had learned to trust.

"How?"

"Remember, you have slept for a thousand years, Kagome. this is the same kouga you knew when you were with Inuyasha." came the voice.

suddenly she remembered what was happening before she blacked out...

Sesshomaru had come to them, proposing peace, and inuyasha hadn't belived him, so they were fighting, then sesshomaru dissappeared and the next thing she knew, she was listening to music and catching glimpses of song.

and now she was here.

"Oh my god! Inuyasha!"

"Kagome...Kagome he's gone. Everyone is gone. i am the only one left of our friends. Damien turned inuyasha and his brother to stone and slaughtered The others. You are the only Miko left, and the only thing that saved you was that Sesshomaru kidnapped you and took you here, out of his reach. Kagome, i'm sorry."

Suddenly kagome was numb. she didn't feel kouga's hands on her shoulders. She didn't feel anything.

"Kagome, Kagome, look at me. You are the only one left. you have to make this right. YOu still have the jewel shards, right?"

She nodded numbly, fingering the bottle that still hung around her neck.

"Then all we have to get are the ones left in naraku's corpse." Kouga was getting excited.

"Damien has them, wolf." came a voice from behind him.

They turned to find a giant centipede demon looming over the clearing.

Then a roar came from the opposite side of the clearing and a tall green demon crashed through the trees and into the centipede.

as one tackled the other, she found that it was a jiant toad.

"Jaken?" Kouga asked, confused.

"Run!" came the reply. "I will find you later!" Kouga nodded and grabbed Kagome and raced off toward the way Jaken had come.

When they were no longeer able to hear the roars of the deamons, kouga set Kagome down and sat himself.

"Kouga, are you okay?" Kagome asked, hugging herself.

"Yes." he panted.

suddenly she heard a rustling in the bushes and a little toad came out of the bushes, the more familiar form of Jaken, as he carried the staff of heads and he was doing something that Kagome had a hard time figuring what it was, then she realized that he was grinning.

"He's fine, he's just old." Jaken stated. then sat down himself.

"What exactly happened back there, and why am i wearing this?" She asked, gesturing to the loose white Kimono that she was still wearing.

"Kagome, the woman back at the clering was the lady Lilith, of the beginning. Sesshomaru brought you to her before the final battle so that you would be safe. then, inuyasha and Sesshomaru were defeated, as well as Kaede, shippou, miroku, and sango. Inuyasha and Sesshomaru were turned to stone, and they lay at the base of the god tree, at the center of damien's fortress.

"when he defeated them, damien took control of the lands and killed Naraku with one swipe. He sought out all of the Mikos in Japan and killed them so that they could not rise against him, and even now, all women that give birth have to bring the children to him, human and demon alike.

"Noone is safe, not even in our own lands. You are the only one that can defeat him, kagome. Even Kikyo is gone. (YAY!!!) There is noone left."

Kagome looked at the ground, then back at Kouga's brown eyes.

Kouga watched as her eyes filled with determination as she nodded.

"Then we go to the god tree." she stated firmly.
