The Battle

"So what's the matter?" asked Kagome.

"Naraku's back," informed Inuyasha.

Kagome emiadiatly shot up and started walking towards the door then paused.

"Let's go… I think this is "it"," said Kagome before turning back around and walking back out the door.

Inuyasha followed knowing his sister was probably going to go to the feudal era and find him, Naraku.

Everyone hated Naraku for everything he had done to the world. The legendary group consisting of Kagome, Inuyasha, Miroku, Sango, Shippo, and Kirara was the worst to be touched by Naraku's evil. Sango and her family… brother and village, Miroku and his wind tunnel, and Inuyasha with Kikyo's slaughter was ALL Naraku's doing.

Kagome had been touched by his evil with her mistake… he had used her mistake to his own advantage.

Shippo's parents were murdered but not by him but he was hurt by Naraku.

It all pieced together… their tragedies in Kagome's opinion were her fault.

'It's my fault… everything has died because of me. I have no purpose other then to kill him… Naraku,' thought Kagome while a tear slipped from her eyes and fell onto the ground.

When Inuyasha and Kagome reached the well house they stopped, Kagome looked up at the forming dark clouds.

"This might be it and if it isn't I'll stay in the feudal era until it is "it"," vowed Kagome. "After this I think I will come back for visits…. But Inuyasha promise me, promise me you won't go to hell with Kikyo. I want you to live a happy life as one of the living."

Inuyasha just nodded then they walked into the well house.

'This is my mistake and if I have to die because of it then so be it,' thought Kagome.

They jumped into the well and the familiar blue light engulfed them.

Mean while

Hiei watched from the shadows fairly amused and a bit angry… how could she just dis him like that? And how could he let her dis him like that?

What was wrong with him around her?

Why was he feeling so pure maybe even happy around Kagome?

Hiei just shrugged it off as one of those things.

That's when it started to rain.

To a normal person if you looked up into a tree over reaching the Higurashi's shrine you would see a dark figure with a headband on his forehead dressed in pure black.

'Kagome…' thought Hiei before Botan appeared from one of her portals.

"Hiei! There you are! Koenma wants the entire group to get together to solve the Kagome thing… You wouldn't happen to know anything would you?" asked Botan in a puzzled manner.

"No, just open up the portal," ordered Hiei in his cold voice.

"Ok," was all Botan said before the portal opened up and Hiei stepped through.

On the other side

Hiei appeared through the portal to already see the rest of the gang there.

"Ah, Hiei nice of you to join us.

Now would anyone like to explain to me why YOU DIDN'T BRING BACK KAGOME HIGURASHI?" asked Koenma.

"Hn," was all Hiei said refusing to answer.

Kwabara and Yusuuke were about to blurt something out but shut up as soon as they saw Kurama's glares.

"I would like to take this mission on by myself," said Kurama.

Koenma starred and starred at Kurama.

"Is that ok with you Koenma?" asked Kurama.

"NO! I want absolutely everybody on this case! Yes you will be separated from each other across Tokyo, now leave my office!" ordered Koenma.

Hiei just disappeared and the rest just left. It was already nightfall.

Mean while

Kagome was sitting in the circle around the fire.

Everyone was tired from a day of just searching for Naraku.

Sesshomaru was with them, same with Kouga and his tribe of men.

" Kagome you're looking very fine tonight," said Kouga.

"Thanks Kouga but I've got work to do tomorrow so night," said Kagome in her tired but sweet voice.

"Of course but let me comfort you through the night," said Kouga.

Inuyasha was just getting pissed.

"Stupid wolf just shut up and leave my sister alone," ordered Inuyasha.

"Hn, she's your and my fiancé," reminded Kouga.

"KOUGA? How many times do I have to remind you? I'm not your fiancé!" for real reminded Kagome.

Kagome shot Kouga rolling eyes look and then cuddled up into her sleeping bag. She soon fell asleep with most of the group looking at her.

Kouga and his way of just watching her with those innocent eyes and Sesshomaru just watching over his sister, same with Inuyasha.

"Stop watching me," said Kagome in her sleepy annoyed tone.

Everyone stopped and just went to sleep.

Mean while

Hiei had tried EVERYTHING to get his mind off of Kagome but it just didn't work.

'What the hell!' thought Hiei when he had a mental picture of Kagome wearing a bikini.

Hiei had returned to the tree over reaching the Higurashi's shrine and had been there for about five hours just thinking.

For some reason he wanted to warn Kagome of the Spirit detective orders… but it wasn't like him to be so kind!

Kagome was VERY different then any other demoness… something about her scent and once he smelt blood on her. The blood smelt like a humans but had her demoness scent mixed into it… something wasn't coming together with her.

And so Hiei had been spending that time thinking about what it could be.

Hiei hated puzzles but this one was the worst!

Hiei just couldn't figure out what she was… was she a half demon? Was she a full-blooded demoness that had killed a human? Or was she something else?

Hiei wasn't going to leave that spot until she came back so he could question her on this stumper.

Back with Kagome

The sun was beginning to come up and so Kagome was up already, and so she was cooking for the group.

Kagome had made raw meat from her time, ramen, and some vegetables like seasoned broccoli.

When everyone was up and saw her delicious meal they gave their thanks then started to pick out what they wanted.

Only Kouga and his men, Inuyasha, Kagome, Sango, Miroku, Kirara and Shippo ate.

When Kagome offered some raw meat to Sesshomaru he politely rejected it and said, "No, I do not need food."

"Suit yourself," said Kagome, she walked away with a swish from her tail.

Everyone ate and packed up.

Kagome was talking to Sango.

"Sango," started Kagome.

"Yeah," replied Sango.

"These "people" in my time came to my house yesterday. They called themselves "Spirit Detectives". So their names are Kurama, Kwabara, Hiei, and Yusuuke. Kurama has a separate soul in him from what I can tell, Hiei a different kind of demon like he has two sides, Yusuuke isn't an ordinary human, and Kwabara can't really tell what he's like.

But they came to my house and saw me as I am now; the thing is Yusuuke said something like "let's just take her away!" Do have any clue what that could mean?" asked Kagome while she and Sango were on Kirara above in the sky for some privacy.

"Maybe they're hunting you down?" said Sango.

"Why would they be doing that?" asked Kagome. "What have I done that would be so far to have people sent after me?"

It was a bright day with no clouds in the sky; the sky was as blue as a felt light blue marker streak. The forest was luscious and green with birds flying gracefully across the treetops. It was a perfect summer day.

Sesshomaru was on AhnUn, Inuyasha, Kouga, Miroku, and the rest of the army were on the ground running.

"Kagome," asked the Kitsune Shippo.

"Yes Shippo?" asked Kagome.

"Are we going to find a jewel shard today?" asked Shippo.

"I can't feel anything right now and I don't know," Kagome just answered and shrugged. "Let's try and enjoy today, ok?

Shippo nodded then went back to sleeping in between Kagome and Sango.

Little did they know what was going to happen later…

Kagome was now running on the ground guiding everyone to where she felt the jewel shards.

When Kagome stopped she was in a clearing with the army behind her, Kouga, Inuyasha, Sango, Miroku, Sesshomaru, Shippo and Kirara on each of her sides.

There in front of everyone stood Naraku with thousands of demons behind him and in front of him.

Kagome's eyes flashed dangerously when she saw Naraku with all those demons.

Naraku walked forward through the demons that made a pathway towards Kagome and the army.

"Ah, the legendary miko Kagome. I see you have collected all your friends with you just for me. Come miko and let us shake hands before the battle," smirked Naraku.

"I am not stupid Naraku, I shall not fall into your traps," said Kagome as she took her battle stance.

"Hm," said Naraku as he turned to his army. "Get everyone except the girl and kill them. I shall save the pleasure of killing her for myself."

That just triggered something and the battle started.

The meadow in which they were in had been peaceful but was now a gory scene to stumble upon.

Blood was being shed from each side.

The sound of blades clashing together deafened the ears of those outside the battle but to those inside it was the sweet sound of death.

Inuyasha was killing hundreds of demons with the wind scar, Sesshomaru just kept killing all that came after him, Kouga was doing great, Sango was defending Kagome's back and Kagome was defending her best friends to. Miroku was sucking demons up into his wind tunnel; Shippo and Kirara were working together to take on some demons that were trying to get to their friends.

Naraku then came after Kagome, Kagome jumped over the demons that were after her and then went towards Naraku at a neck bracing speed.

Kagome ripped part of Naraku's body apart off but it just reformed.

"Wench your attempts are invade to stop me!" snarled Naraku as he lunged forward and cut Kagome's arm.

Kagome wavered as she felt the pain from the wound but then her eyes turned red.

Kagome's eyes were now pure red, her fangs had grown about two inches, and her nails were massive.

The wind blew her bangs just enough to see the family trademark from he blood she shared with inuyasha and Sesshomaru. Her crescent moon was red instead of blue like Sesshomaru's.

Kagome's head snapped to the side to face Naraku.

Kagome had her bow and arrows on her back.

Kagome grabbed her bow and an arrow.

She aimed it at Naraku then in serge of light the arrow smashed into nothing and was replaced with a spiritual energy arrow.

Kagome released the arrow and it ran right through Naraku's stomach.

Naraku's demons then formed a barrier around Naraku and he sucked in a few of them and was replenished.

Kagome growled low in her throat.

"Kagome!" called out a voice.

But before Kagome could move she felt a blade slice its way right through her arm.

It made a sickening oozing sound and Kagome spat out a mouthful of blood.

Kagome then grabbed the sword and chucked it out of herself.

There was suction when she pulled it out and she whimpered in pain but still managed to get it out.

When Kagome's searched the wound she found that it had pierced all the way through her arm until it had hit the bone.

Mean while

Hiei had a sudden nagging feeling in his heart… like something was wrong, very wrong.

That's when he had a mental picture of blood on a rock.

He just shrugged it off until he saw the next mental picture.

I know crappy cliffer, but just remember the romance doesn't start until the fifth chapter and the becoming friends will start next chapter. Yep it all works out.

This story is my best story ever in my opinion… except for Bloody emotion from a clean human. Oh well it all works out. Let's just say Hiei will get very jealous… VERY jealous! ) But poor Kagome got hurt! I know it's sad but after the battle she goes home and discovers something very tragic. So sad next chap!

Ladder 49 is such a sad movie! The main character dies! That's not supposed to happen! NO WAY! ( And his best friend dies to in a small fire. It was so sad this chick almost cried! I'm just going to warn you this one time TAKE TISSUES YOU MIGHT NEED THEM!
