Chapter 1: The Fall

Kagome…

'Oh! That Inu-yasha why can't he just suck up it and deal with the fact that I'm not Kikyou; the corpse!' Kagome hissed mentally sitting at the wells wall.

Taking a quick look around Kagome sniffed and started to cry for all that it was worth. The miko didn't notice that the undead miko was there until the corpse itself appeared into view.

"So my copy is crying? Oh, how weak." The corpse Kikyou hissed as her demon pets surrounded her.

" Oh, bite me you corpse of the past! Why not return to were you crawled from you wench!" Kagome said acidly.

" Well… that's the first time you've taken that tone with me…Hn… I don't like it one bit." The undead miko raised her weapon.

" Oh, get over it! By the way if I'm just a copy of you then why do you view me as competition…Huh?" Kagome shot as her typically blue eyes turned blood red.

" What the…" The corpse stared in shock and Kagome attacked her full blast.

" How's that for weak?" Kagome hissed as Kikyou return to ashes and dirt.

With that Kagome walked deep into the forest and disappeared into the night not noticing the sudden roar of anger that came from were she once stood…

Three years later…

Inu-yasha…

The hanyou sat in his tree and pondered the meaning of his life until a fox kitsune pounced up in font of him and smiled brightly.

" What do you want kit?" Inu-yasha growled with annoyance.

" I've met a new friend her name is Ciarda and she gave me some candy that matches of the stuff that Kagome used to give us; remember?" The kit said holding up a fist full of gummy-bears, " Oh and she's an Elf."

" An Elf? What kind?" Inu-yasha asked receiving and small amount of gummies.

" I'm a Dark Elf." A soft smooth voice floated up to him.

" I thought they where all dead."

" I'm the first and the one of two of the last." Came the simple yet sad reply from the lone Elf.

" Shippo were did you find her?" Inu-yasha turned to the kit.

" I heard her singing by the spring and thought that she could stay with us for a while we help find her brother." Shippo shifted on the branch.

" After Kagome comes back." Inu-yasha said staying off into the distance wistfully.

" Come on Inu-yasha she's been gone for three years if you want to find her you have to go look for her." Shippo started to cry.

" Kagome… Why is that name familiar… Oh yes that's right Inu-yasha I have message from your brother Sesshoumaru it's about Kagome." Ciarda said handing a scroll with the Western Lands Family Crest sealing it shut.

" Thanks… Dear, brother, your woman is in my lands and she has been injured by one of Naraku's men. Do not worry she is in good care and please come for her at once we'll have an alliance together until you of course decide to kill me. Your Brother Sesshoumaru. P.S Ciarda has made a good point by stating the fact we are the only ones left of our family." Inu-yasha looked confused at what his brother has written.

" Yes I made the point very clear to him and Naraku is no longer a threat to you and his men are still against you." Ciarda informed.

" How do you know?" Shippo asked pulling on the hem of Ciarda's leather trench coat.

"The real Naraku is my older brother; and since I'm his only remaining relative he listens to me." The Elf smiled at the kit; " Oh and by the way it turns out that Kagome is an Inu-demon."

" She's a what?"

" She's a Dog- demon." Ciarda shrugged.

" Let's go." Inu-yasha bounded to the West.

" Shippo go tell Lady Keade and the others that Inu-yasha and I went to the Western Lands and tell them why too, okay?" Ciarda instructed and giving him some more candy the kit, puffed up his chest, nodded and scampered to the village…
