Summary: Imagine a world dominated by demons, where all humans are slaves with few exceptions. Such was the way Inuyasha was brought up. Kagome, as we all know, comes from the future. However, this future is much different compared to the world we live in. The demons' power and control of the world has never been stronger. The most incredible detail about the situation is that through out all these thousands of years, there has only been one demon king. To imagine, all this could have been avoided had one person met another. That is what Kagome had to learn, whether she liked it or not. For you see, though this was a time unfit for true love and happiness, those are the very things that were needed to change the world for the better.

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha in any way, I don't think anyone would want to know what I do own…

Faces Of The Heart

Chapter Five:

Kagome's Side

Part Two: Everything Gone Wrong

Kagome woke up the next morning to see the sun shining as brightly as ever. It seemed that the sun read her mind in regards to the moon shining brightly and was now trying to make some kind of a point. Taking a look at her clock, Kagome realized that she was late for classes… again.

Quickly taking a shower and a new set of cloths (the kind of priestess robes that are from the anime show), Kagome dashed through the halls to her appointed class. "Kagome!" a young female voice shouted behind her. Kagome turned around to see Rin running towards her along with Kaede. "What is it? Can it wait?" she asked, jogging on the spot, still hoping to somehow get to class on time.

The two younger girls looked at her before bursting out in a fit of giggles. "What is it? Come on! I'm going to be late!" She said, exasperated. "Did you forget what day it is?" Kaede asked, after stopping her laughter (just imagine her as when she was younger, in all the Inuyasha flashbacks). Running through every important day through her mind, Kagome shook her head negatively before voicing out her confusion. "I don't know, it's not anyone's birthday, anniversary, holiday, come on! Just tell me. I don't have much more time."

Giving up completely on Kagome, Kaede and Rin sighed before looking at her with much amusement in their eyes. "Well you've been very precise in you thinking oh great detective…" Rin started, mockingly, as Kaede finished, "but although you remembered every important day, you seemed to have forgotten the WEEKEND!" Both of the younger girls giggled again after saying the last word together and grinned at the older.

Being both relieved and somewhat annoyed, Kagome dropped her book bag back into her room and went outside to the garden to join Rin and Kaede. She found the both of them rather easily and was not surprised to see Shippou with them. This temple was a rather well funded school. The elders hired guards to protect those inside during the war. Of course, the main battlefield needed more of the experienced soldiers so the guards to Kamikaz were relatively young but still somewhat capable. Shippou, while young, was a kitsune demon and had more experience than a lot of the regular soldiers.

"Hello ladies, how are we doing today?" a smooth, confident voice caused the group to turn their heads. Standing before them were two of the older experienced guards, probably the best out of what they got. One was wearing the traditional light armor with a side gun and long sword of a normal human guard. The only thing special about the uniform was a badge pinned to the left side of his chest, symbolizing his contributions in the war so far. He had short brown hair and matching eyes (I forgot what Hojo looked like, sorry if I made a mistake).

The one who spoke was the next guard, a demon, leader of the Northern wolf demon pack to be precise. He wasn't wearing anything special than what he normally wore (I don't know how to describe it but I'll try) which just basically meant brown fur covered his chest, thighs, biceps, and quadriceps (sp?) and looked like cloths. He also had light armor on, but one really doubted whether it helped much. His name was Kouga; he had dark brown hair tied up in a high ponytail and cool blue eyes. Nobody knew why Kouga would join the human guards except for himself and Kagome. It seemed that he hoped this would get him closer to His Woman.

"Hi Kouga," Kagome said, becoming aware and tried to make sure there was a reasonable distance between them. However, Kagome couldn't get close to Hojo either, both of them had a crush on her and well, quite frankly she didn't like either of them that way. Becoming aware of this, Rin began to laugh. "Shut it Rin," Kagome semi-snapped with mirth in her voice. "You're not one to talk with your relationship with Shippou." There. That had shut her up. Rin was turning beat red and Shippou was looking at Kagome with a what-did-I-do-now look, also red in the face.

A couple hours passed by harmlessly as they climbed trees to relax when the sun became too hot. "Hey guys, what do you know about that well in the back?" Kagome asked to no one in particular. "Well," Kaede began, "I heard that the well was where Kikyo locked away In… In… um… I think it was Inuyasha. But anyways, it was said that often the Hanyou would disappear into the well when Kikyo wasn't with him. But those are all rumors; I don't think anyone really knows what the well was used for."

"What was that name again?" Kagome asked. "Inuyasha," Rin answered for Kaede. "That's a special name…" Kagome commented, obviously did not like the way a parent would name a child like that. "If you ask me, I think it's pretty stupid." Kouga said, getting a glare from Kagome. Deciding to ignore her, Kouga continued. "So he was a hanyou huh? He was probably as weak as a mortal, no offence of course." "Kouga!" Kagome scolded, "You don't have a right to judge a person you don't even know. I mean seriously-"

Kouga chose this time to try a move on Kagome as he aimed to plant on Kagome's lips. Kagome pushed him away but forgot that they were on treetops. It was then that she began to fall, bracing herself. Nothing happened though as she felt herself landing on something soft. "Kirara!" Kagome exclaimed. The others were about to say something when an explosion in the distance was heard. Soon, thousands upon thousands of demons appeared from the sky and began to attack everyone.

"No!" Rin shouted, fear creeping up their hearts. "Come on, we have to help them." She was about to jump down when Kouga grabbed her hand. "No," he said, sniffing the air. "The ground is poisoned with the Locus Spell. Any living creature touches it, and you die in an instant."

"Then we have to go by air," Kagome said, looking at Kirara. They agreed on the plan and climbed onto the demon cat awkwardly except for Kouga, who was going to travel from tree to tree. As they reached near the front, they saw the baboon-clad demon king leading the attack. They were going to go for a surprise attack from behind but there was no such luck.

A figure appeared before them in the distance sitting on what seemed to be a giant feather. As they approached with caution, hoping that it would be a friend to help them, they saw the figure fully exposed. The person had hair darker than that of Rin's in a bun and blood red eyes. It was a female.

"I've heard of her before," Hojo said, speaking the first time in a while. "I think that's princess Kagura, the wind mistress." A couple of confuse faces turned towards him, signaling him to continue with an explanation. "It is said as a myth that the demon king Naraku had two daughters and a son. The son apparently died some time around 400 years ago but no one knew what he looked like or anything like that. All people knew was a name, Naroku."

'How original,' Kagome though bitterly, urging Hojo to continue. "Well, no one knew for sure, as the King had no spouse and there was no record of a concubine (that's like, an occasional fling for royalty) but many people seemed sure that these children existed. Some even said that Naroku fought against his father for the other races but was turned down easily. So anyways, the two daughters were Kagura, the older one of the wind, and Kana, the younger of the souls. Both of them are said to be deadly warriors and if anyone has seen them, they would not live to see another day. That's pretty much why they were unknown to be true or not as there were no live witnesses to say anything."

Surprised that they managed to hear everything before approaching Kagura, they began to change their course, thinking about backing up and then thinking of a strategy before doing anything else. There was no way that Kagura was going to help them. It's actually more likely that she would attack them. Their suspicions were confirmed when what appeared to be tornadoes followed them, crushing everything in their paths.

Before long, they were in a chase with them trying to evade Kagura. The demon didn't even look to be trying anything and was thoroughly enjoying herself. Kagome was getting nervous. Sure they had more numbers, but being the daughter of the demon king didn't exactly say that she was a pushover.

The sun began to set, much to Kagome's pleasure and dismay. Sure there was a somewhat higher chance of them escaping now as there was no moon to shine a light today. It was the day of the new moon. But they couldn't see much now, and if they used lights, they would just give themselves away. Kagome was glad to have Kirara as a friend, it seemed that it knew where to fly just by itself without the need of directions. If they ever got out of this alive, Kagome was going to spoil Kirara to give new meaning to the words "fat cats".

The chasse continued for what seemed like hours before they found themselves at Kamikaz again. It was in complete ruins and the smell of blood and death was everywhere. Rin and Kaede began to sob uncontrollably and Kagome tried to get them to be quiet before they were caught. It was too late now. A bunch of skeletons coming from behind you pretty much meant that they were found. They tried to fight some of them off, which, surprisingly, wasn't too hard. But the sheer force of their numbers caused them to fall.

Remembering what Kouga had said about the Locus Spell, Kagome knew that they were gone. Kirara seemed to be able to control a bit of their movement, but couldn't fly back up. An idea/hope formed in Kagome's head as she whispered to the Demon cat to try to land into the well that was only now a couple of yards away.

Lower and lower they fell, bracing for a crash if anything was to go wrong. It was these kind of moments that one wished they could do some things over again. They waited for what seemed like an eternity before they entered and Kagome saw Kouga jumping in after them. Behind him, Kagome could see, were more skeletons and what appeared to be blades of wind coming after them. The blades collided into the well after they entered and an explosion was heard about head. Bracing herself, Kagome grabbed onto Kirara and Rin as they fell and opened her eyes to see a pale bluish light…

I'm done with this chapter; I hope you guys enjoyed reading it as I did writing it. The next chapter is the confrontation between the two main characters. I'm so excited. Oh! I just remembered about replying to reviews, I'll do that next chapter, I promise. Please review and tell me what you think so far. Is the plot worth continuing?

U-T signing off…
