Disclaimer ~ Please, if you think I own Inu-yasha or YYH, why would I be writing these fanfics???

My head feels funny. Yusuke and Suichii were in front of me, talking. I sit up and rub my temples. I was starting to get a headache. What were they saying? Something about powers, toddler, and spirit world. I gotta get up. OW! What's that? M arm is bleeding? Since when was I injured? Oh ya, the fight with demons...DEMONS, WHERE?

*~* Narrators POV*~*

Kagome jumped up and the barrier went down. Yusuke looked away from Kurama and went to Kagome. She backed away, knowing that he was a friend with demons. They might have been nice, but there was no way she was going to stick around with them. She ran out of the bedroom, ignoring that calls of protest from them all. She had to get away, and that was all she thought about. She wasn't going to risk her life or the life of others because of demons. She ran out the door and to the street. Kagome, almost running into a car, could smell them. Demons, and everywhere. Putting her hands to her head she ran to the subway, but sensing an even bigger demon presence there, she decided to run.

It took her at least an hour of running, but that was ok. Her house still had that small presence, but it was nothing compared to Yusuke's house. Knowing that she was about to cry, Kagome went to the God Tree. She always felt the most comfortable around it anyways. Things just had to happen the way they did didn't they, Kagome thought, am I supposed to be alone forever? She started to climb the tree, ripping a small whole in the shirt she was wearing. The stars twinkled in the midnight black sky. The moon was gone, making the sky even black then before. That was another thing that reminded her of them. No moon, human Inuyasha. Tears caressed Kagome's cheeks, and for once in 2 years she cried. At first it was silent tears, and she hadn't even realized that they were there. But after a few minutes, Kagome saw them, and that made her cry harder. Soon her hands were at her face, trying to stop the tears flowing out of her violet eyes. Knees up the her chest, Kagome let out a sob. That's when she started to hear some voices.

The four boys, Kurama, Hiei, Yusuke, and Kuwabara, all of them were following Hiei to the house. Kagome tried to stop crying, but couldn't stop. The tears would come after the noise stopped. She climbed as silently as she could and went up to some higher branches. Then she put a masking barrier around her and the jewel, so that she could be detected.

"Did you feel that Hiei?" Kurama asked.

He nodded his head and gave a "Hn" and walked over to the God Tree. Afraid that he spotted her Kagome stood up, getting ready to climb even higher. Slowly she reached for another branch that was higher then the one she was on.

"I don't feel anything around this old tree." Yusuke said, obviously annoyed that they had not found her yet.

"Yusuke, don't insult this tree. It is an ancient God Tree, and is meant to be respected. It is most likely over 500 years old." Kurama said, putting his hand on it. "It tell a sad story, about what I do not know though."

"Kurama, did you feel that?" Hiei muttered to him. He looked up into the tree and his third eye began to glow, as though looking for something. Kurama nodded his head and also looked upward. Kagome saw this and pulled herself up onto the taller branch. Her tears were the death of her.

"Indeed." Kurama replied to Hiei. Kagome stood up again on the branch, careful not to make a sound. One soft spot on the tree and it would creek. She was very surprised that it did not already, though she was not ungrateful. Some tears still remained on her pale white cheeks, but the flow of tears had stopped dramatically. Hoisting her body on the taller branch, Kagome sighed inwardly. She might actually make it out without having to face them at all!

"This place is creeping me out," Kuwabara said.

"Shut up monkey, no one wants to listen to your voice." Yusuke yelled to the baka. A soft breeze made its way across the tree, and for a second, everything was still. Then Hiei was in the tree.

He landed right in front of Kagome as she was pulling herself up. Kagome, not expecting him to just appear right in front of her, let go of the branch. Unfortunately, gravity could not be as lucky with her as with Hiei's hair, and she fell down from the tree. Screaming she fell down, her arms and legs hitting branches as she fell. It seemed a lot quicker then it seemed, because in no time she was on the ground.

"AH!" Kuwabara yelled, startled from the Kagome's free fall. Kagome's arms and legs hurt like hell, each one screaming in agony. Her side also hurt a lot, considering that was what she fell on. Then the ground started to move under her. She looked down, but instead of the green grass, or the gray cement, she saw Suichii's face. She had landed right on top of him, and she was crushing him!

Kagome got up and started to bow repeatedly. He got up with some help from Yusuke, and nodded his head.

"It was not your fault Kagome, Hiei shouldn't have scared you like that." He said, holding his ribs. Kagome bowed her head down and walked over to him. Hiei rose one of his eyebrows, and Kagome, seeing this, glared at him. She put her hands on top of his ribs and a blue light emitted from her hands. The purple that was started to form on his skin was gone, and Kurama felt the tingle go away from the wound. Kagome looked up, gave him a half smile, and stepped away from him. Walking away, the SD group was going to go after her, but she surprised them and went inside the house that was near the god tree.

"Where are you going?" Yusuke asked her. She turned around and motioned for them all to come in. They followed her in, looking around. The farther in they went, they felt larger demon energy. She turned into a room and they all followed. It was a kitchen/ eating room. Kagome sat down at the table and motioned for them all to follow. When they did, she wrote on a paper to them, asking them if they had any questions.

"I have one, how come..." Yusuke began, but was interrupted when the little koorime began talking.

"How come that room over there is loaded with demon energy?" Hiei demanded. Kagome cast her eyes downward and took a deep breath to steady herself. She took a piece of paper and wrote a sentence to them.

' That is where my family was killed.'

Everyone was quiet. No one moved, talked, cleared their throat, nothing. Kagome's cast down eyes were blank, like she was remembering something long forgotten. And in truth, she was. Remembering the gruesome sight of her dead family. The day she went home, she found them, skin hanging off bones, all laying in a deep pool of blood. Eyes wide open, and body mangled in a way no body ever bends. All of this shown in Kagome's eyes like a movie. The only difference, as only she could see it. Her eyes glazed over as the movie played in her head. Kagome's hands clenched as she recalled the scene she hadn't seen in years. Drops of water appeared on the sentence she wrote. Everyone's eyes had been on the paper in disbelief, but the sight of tears made their heads turn to Kagome. Her eyes were no longer glazed over, for the movie had ended. An odd breeze swept through the house; opening the door across from the room they were in.

"Oh god." Yusuke whispered. It had only been a week and the police hadn't cleaned the mess up yet. Hiei covered his nose, for now that the door was open the smell was unbearable for his demonic senses. The room was a family room, with a low wooden table in the center, 2 white sofas, a TV, and a white love seat. And blood. Everything in blood. Dried blood on the couches, on the wall. An arm here, head there. The SD group saw a woman's body with no head against the love seat, with a small boy with no left arm laying on her. An old man hung from the fan above the room, his head ripped in some places. Kagome hung her head down as to not look at the gruesome scene in front of her.

'My mom,' she wrote. Everyone looked at the woman on the seat. ' My grandpa,' Kagome continued. Kuwabara looked a bit green. ' Sota, my brother,' an arm was spotted on top of the TV. Kagome's head turned around slowly, not looking at the living room. She had seen it, and did not need to see it for a second time. Kagome's hand went to her chest, and squeezed a bright pink gem. A gagging noise was heard by Kagome. Kuwabara had lost his dinner. Tucking a strand of hair behind an ear, Kagome cringed. She needed air, or else she would be sick also. Unnoticed, Kagome slipped away from the horrific scene and walked through the front door.

A single tear slipped from her pale eyes. In the moonlight, her violet eyes seemed to glow silver. Walking over to the god tree, Kagome got the shivers. Turning around, she screamed and fell to the damp ground.
