Chapter Five: Kagome's Side

"Kagome, I'm….so sorry." Kikyou said, she truly had wanted to be there for her sister, truly she did. She knew that Sango did too.

"No, it isn't your fault, or Souta's." she added hastily seeing as Souta had opened his mouth to reply.

"Kagome…" Kikyou warned as she noticed Kagome ready to tell her story. She wasn't ready, Kikyou was sure.

"I was just a small girl…. Naraku said it was my punishment…" Kagome began softly, while everyone settled in.

"My friend Yuri cam e over and she accidentally broke…" Kagome feel into the memory as she told her story.

Young Kagome sat in the grass with her friend Yuri, just lying with her friend Yuri. "Yuri?" Her friend looked up from her sitting position. "Yeah Kags?"

Kagome smiled, "Wanna go inside and get something to drink?" She was thirst anyhow, she sure hoped her step-father didn't come home anytime soon. Or it would be a beating twelve times harder than normal, he had said so. . .

"Yeah!" Yuri said jumping up. Grabbing Kagome's hand she pulled them inside. "Yuri slow down-"To late, the small glass ball that stood by the door fell to the floor and shattered to millions of pieces, after Yuri had rammed into it.

A car door slammed in her drive way, she looked frightened. "Yuri, um I got to go, so leave now!" Onigumo would hurt her, think of what he would do when he discovered Yuri in the house. Fearing for her friend's safety she pushed the young girl out the back door and slammed it shut. She only hopped she would get the clue and run.

The front door opened and his yells were loud and deafening to her ears as she knew he had discovered the broken glass ball.

"KAGOME!" She scampered to him, the next thing she knew was her thrown against the bed.

The pain had been unbearable, she was only 14! Why her? She only hoped Yuri had made it home safe.

"Wow." Miroku said, looking sympathetic. Sango glared at him, pity was one thing that she did not need now. Turning back to her friend, Sango wrapped her arms around Kagome and let her sob into her shirt.

The rest of the group tip-toed out of the room, two of which looked ashamed. "We should have been there."

"It wasn't your fault."

Sesshomaru growled, "Where is he?"

"The middle of Ta-" Kikyou stopped, it was her duty to retract revenge not her sister's boyfriend. Only she and Souta would have that honor.

"Well?" His patience was wearing thin this... this onna dared to hesitant to stop?

"It is only mine and Souta's duty to kill Naraku," Kikyou stated calmly, ignoring Sesshomaru's rapidly changing eyes, "So leave at once."

Sesshomaru howled and barged into the room, grabbing Kagome, he tried to leave.

Kagome peered at Sesshomaru, he wasn't Sesshomaru it was Onigumo. She whimpered and begged him to let her go, clawing at his hand. Onigumo had a sneer on his f ace. But let go, she scooted to the far corner of the room, whimpering like a lost puppy. Tiny sparks of energy whipped around her.

Inuyasha and Souta together dragged out the stunned Sesshomaru. "STAY AWAY FROM HER." Souta growled shoving the taiyoukai out the door.

"Is she ok?" Inuyasha asked, feeling ashamed at his brother.

"No, now she's whimpering for him." Sango said, seeing as the brother and sister of Kagome wouldn't say it.

Sesshomaru heard her whimpers, her pleas for him, he ignored the door in his way, and instead he barged in and took his girl into his arms. "Sess-ho-maru?" She managed a weak smile before completely blacking out.

"How?" Miroku asked, the sparks disappeared and Kagome's breathes calmed.

"Ah, very mesmerizing, indeed." Everyone turned to see the school principal, Lady Kaede nodding her head as she entered the room.

"What do you mean Lady Kaede?" Sango asked, although she had never seen anything like this, it didn't seem to astounding.

"You must not know who Kagome truly is?" Kaede searched along the room, among the group. "No?"

She sighed heavily surely the siblings would know?

"Kagome, is Midoriko's reincarnation, she is the most powerful being in the universe, even being a hanyou. She herself doesn't know it, today those sparks are her powers, trying to be free."

"How can we not sense her power?" Kikyou asked, she knew kagome was powerful, even more so than herself, she who was considered the most powerful demon on earth.

"A powerful barrier, when the time is right it will be removed and all fear in evil will be renewed."

"That doesn't explain why Sesshomaru was able to calm her and not us." Souta said.

Kaede chuckled, "Oh that has nothing to do with her powers, it may be her love for him, or his." Kaede left the room eagerly, she would hear what they had to say about that.

"WHAT!" Souta roared. Hell no, he thought, Kagome deserves better than this egotistical bastard!

Kagome's eyes fluttered open, a sharp pain shot through her head as she sat up. She blushed as she realized she was sitting in Sesshomaru's lap.

"Where am I?" Sweat drops were administrated throughout the room. "The same place you were when you fainted." She crossed her arms, "Well thanks Souta for being sarcastic about it."

"You're very welcome."

"Shuddup!" Kagome growled, shaking her fist at him. Souta just laughed and shook his head.

Kikyou smiled, just like old times, arguing over the littlest things. "Um, you guys, you do know we have a class in about, err twenty seconds?" Miroku said. Everyone glanced at each other before making a run for the door. Everyone tried to squeeze through at once, finally Kagome came up with a simple solution. "You guys, why not you know, just skip?"

"Oh, yeah, fine with me." Inuyasha said, grinning.

Kagome dragged Sango and Kikyou through her favorite store, Rave. Kagura hadn't been feeling to well so she and Hiten had gone home. Leaving the rest of the males to holding the females bags, again.

"Um, Kagome?" Kagome vaguely heard Miroku ask. By the time she turned towards the man, it was too late, Kagome was gone.

"DAMN IT. Monk, where'd she go?" Sesshomaru asked, he was tired of her disappearing all the time.

"Through a barrier, ya know I'm surprised she made it through." He replied thoughtfully looking at what appeared to be nothing to the rest of the group.

Sesshomaru walked to where Miroku was looking, he felt tingles all over. He looked around, Kagome looked at him apparently angry.

"How'd you get through? No one was supposed to follow me!" She pouted, crossing her arms over her chest.

"Where are you going?" Sesshomaru asked surprised she actually did it on purpose.

"To the hospital, my mother's not dead." She said softly. Sesshomaru looked at her like she was crazy.

"Your brother said-"

"SHE'S NOT DEAD!" Kagome shouted, "I would've sensed it. There's no way I'm going to my old home."

"I'm going with you."

Kagome nodded and three hours later and a phone call to Sango, they were at Kagome's old home. Sesshomaru watched as she got out of the car slowly. Her eyes were trained on the door, as she made her way towards it. Using magic, she opened the door.

Eerie silence greeted them as the door swung open. She called out, "Mom?"

"Kagome is that you?" the voice was raspy and Kagome hesitated for a second. The voice called to her again, and she sprung into action, leaving Sesshomaru behind.

"Mom! Mom are you ok?" Kagome sat next to her bleeding mother.

"Kagome, I'm dying." Her mother's voice was barley audible. She pulled her daughter's hand into hers, saying, "Kagome, I'm so sorry." Her last word before she fell into the slumber they called death.

A ragged sob left Kagome's mouth as she leaned over her mother's body. "I love you mom. I'm sorry I never told you that."

Sesshomaru watched as Kagome placed her mother's hands, and closed her eyelids.

Suddenly, a sadistic laugh entered the two youkai's ears. "Come out you bastard!" Sesshomaru growled. The scent was the same scent covering Kagome's mother's body.

"Ah, so ready to kill Kagome's beloved step-father?" Kagome snorted, out of the shadows stepped a man with black hair and red eyes, almost the exact replica of Naraku. He had a sneer on his lips as she came to Kagome and slipped his arms around her waist.

Fear sprung in Kagome's heart as she struggled in his grip. "Leave now." Sesshomaru commanded, although, all he wanted to do the most was shred the man.

"As you wish, Lord Sesshomaru." Onigumo said bowing, he was mocking Sesshomaru of his royalty.

Sesshomaru looked at Kagome, she was frantically trying to heal her mother. Even he couldn't have saved her.

Tears coursed down Kagome's face, her mother couldn't be gone, she had never even had the chance to tell her how much she loved her!

"Come on Kagome." Sesshomaru said, picking up the girl. She sobbed into his collar bone while he held her bridal style and left. The cops would be her soon, he wanted kagome to rest before they came barging in and question her to death.

He set her in his car, they were just outside the mall, and it appeared that the others had already left. 'Well we've been gone a good four hours.' He reminded himself.

Naraku and Onigumo watched as the taiyoukai took care of Kagome, "I need her, and she will be mine." Naraku said, eyeing his father.

"Yes, but why did I have to kill her mother she still was good to bed."

"Kagome is emotionally unstable now, we can use this to our advantage." Naraku replied.
