'Huh? Where am I?' As Kagome wriggled around she noticed that she was tied up in a dark room full of skulls. Before she started to panic she thought things over. '…… I can't remember anything… Why is that? I remember… running through a forest and someone called my name… it was a familiar voice… but who was it? Wait… what is my name? That voice called me Kagome… so I guess that's me… but… AH!' Suddenly Kagome's head started pounding, and she shrieked aloud, which made 3 people barge into the room. A girl carrying a fan, 'I sort of recognize her…' a little white girl carrying a mirror 'I seem to know her too…' and a boy carrying a chained dagger. The boy put her back into sleeping position, and from not trying to remember anymore her head started to calm down.
"Ummm… Hello everyone… but may I ask… who are you? Or actually who am I?" The girl with the fan spoke the whole conversation. "Hello wench, your name is Kagome… as you may have heard from some memories. My name is none of your business… just remember, we're your saviors. Now this boy here will lead you off this mountain, and then you are allowed to travel on your own. Here are some bows and arrows we are providing for you. Good day to you." As the girl with the fan was about to step out of her room, she turned and said a few last words.
"Oh and Kagome I hope you meet some… interesting demons on your journey… and that you will be able to get your revenge…" The 2 girls stepped out of the door chuckling, with Kagome alone with the boy. Strangely Kagome's blood started to boil at the mention of the 2 names. 'Inuyasha, Kikyo… I will make sure your death is by my hands…'
(Flashback: Location – Naraku's Castle, Naraku, Kagura, Kanna, Kagome)
Inside a room another dark room Kanna performed the erasing ceremony. Placing Kagome onto a mat in the middle of the room Naraku carefully embedded almost a whole sacred jewel piece into Kagome's hip once again. Kanna then held out her mirror and a dark purple shaded light went came out of the mirror and shot into Kagome's forehead. Afterwards the light ended and some white shaded fog came out of Kagome's mind and went into the mirror for a while.
Kagura was amazed by what her sister was doing, "Kanna, when did you develop such abilities? What are you doing?" After an evil smile appearing on Naraku's face Kanna explained with a hollow whisper. "Kagura, Naraku has recently given me these abilities. The purple light I shot out was to alter some of Kagome's memories… So whenever she hears or sees Inuyasha or Kikyo her heart will immediately turn to stone and she won't stop or die until she kills either of them.
Anyone in her path shall also be bestowed the same fate, death. This also changed some of her behaviors and she is stronger. The white fog that I sucked out of Kagome is some of her happiest memories with Inuyasha and his group. These memories are too strong and may be easily unblocked. Putting them into the mirror is a safer method, but at times when she is pure in heart and mind using her miko powers she may be able to call them back… However, the sacred jewel within her made it an almost impossible task, she is a mere puppet to Naraku…"

>>> Location: Naraku's Castle, Kagome, Kohaku
When Kagura and Kanna left Kohaku handed Kagome some clothes to change into. When Kohaku exited the rooms o Kagome could change she unfolded the clothes to see it was a miko's dressing, the usually white top but the dress pants were dark blue instead of red. She was also given a hair tie in which she tied her raven black hair with. Once she was done changing Kohaku burned her school uniform and she was lead out of the castle and down the mountain…
>>> Location: Kaede's Hut, Inuyasha and company
Everyone was chatting all peacefully discussing the battle with Kagura and some unwanted things from Miroku. But when Inuyasha stepped in their merry expressions were replaced by serious looks. "Inuyasha, where's Kagome?" the little kitsune asked first. Even though Inuyasha was unwilling to speak what had happened, because he didn't even want to admit it he told them. "…Kagome never went back home… Her family told me that 3 days ago only her bag got through the well… she never went back…" 'Dam… If only I've paid more attention to Kagome… this wouldn't have happened! UGH!' As tears started to swell up Inuyasha ran outside.
"Miroku, what do you think has happened to Kagome?" the taijiya asked with a very concerned and quiet voice. "I'm not sure Sango, but from the looks of it there are only 2 things that might've been possible." "What 2 things are that Miroku?" asked Shippo immediately. This time Kaede responded, "One, Kagome must've run away from Inuyasha's betrayal." She stopped not wanting to speak the second option. But Sango already got it through her mind and she told the little kitsune quietly. "Two… Kagome was either kidnapped or killed…" At this point everyone was silently crying. Silent tears were rolling down all their cheeks, especially from the hanyou listening just outside of the hut.
>>> Location – Naraku's Mountain, Kagome, Kohaku
As the boy was leading Kagome down the mountain they kept their silence. But little did they know that they were thinking the same thing. 'I seem to know this boy from my past… but I can't figure out who he is… Whenever I try my head starts pounding.' 'This Lady here... I've met her before! But I can't recall anything… This hurts!' They stopped trying to remember the past and kept the cold looks and stiff silence.
Kagome noticed that they got out of an ominous barrier surrounding the mountain and they were now in a field of wheat. When Kohaku was about to turn and leave Kagome finally spoke. "Can you please lead me to the closet village?" "Yes" was all Kagome got as a reply from the boy. Then they started walking even further.
After a long while of walking a sound was heard by the taijiya, the boy, Kohaku. 'I hear a streaking sound through the wheat. It sounds like a weapon… moving at a rapid speed… an arrow… heading for us!' "MILADY! DUCK!" But it was too late... Kagome saw the arrow coming straight at her...
