Chapter 18:

Kagome was still unconscious in Inuyasha's arms. But then she started to glow with a purple aura.

"Kagome?" Inuyasha asked.

Kagome still didn't wake up. And then she started to elevate above Inuyasha somehow, as the light grew brighter around her.

It was a lot different from when she was transforming. There was no smoke forming arround her at all. But then she grew wings.

"Kagome!!!!!" Inuyasha screamed. Kagome was up higher than Inuyasha could reach, and was just floating there.

Kagome was still unconscious. She couldn't hear him and wouldn't wake up.

Then a blight light just flashed brighter than any light Inuyasha had ever seen, almost blinding him. But when he was able to focus and see in front of him again, Kagome was in front of him.

"Kagome..." He said softly as he placed a hand on Kagome cheek.

"Inuyasha." Kagome said. She was now glowing with a golden aura. "I must leave you and go back to my village of fairies. They need me there." Kagome was not smiling at all while saying this. She looked sad.

"Kagome? Why?" Inuyasha asked. He tried to wrap his arms around Kagome, but then just went right through her.

"I must go." Kagome said, then she disappeared, leaving nothing behind but little spakles that floated around Inuyasha's head for a few seconds. Then they too disappeared.

"Kagome...." Inuyasha almost whispered.

He felt tears threatening to come from his eyes. But he wiped his eyes before they could.

Why did she have to go? Was the only question that ran through Inuyasha's head.

With Kagome the next morning..........................

Kagome woke up in her old home. The tree which her mother raised her in.

A few pixies rushed in as soon as she woke up.

"KAGOME!!!" One exclaimed as she hugged Kagome.

"Do I know you?" Kagome asked.

"Not yet." The pixie said. She had green hair and was wearing a cute green dress, while her green wings fluttered in the air. "My name is Clover. I'm a Tree Pixie."

"I'm Aqua. I'm a Water Pixie." Another pixie added. She looked exactly like Clover, but was all blue instead.

"And my name is Flower. I'm-"

"Let me guess. You're a Flower Pixie?" Kagome asked.

"Yeah." Flower replied. She also looked just like Aqua and Clover, but was lavender colored instead.

"So why are you all here?" Kagome asked.

"Because we are supposed to be like body guards for you." Flower said.

"WHAT?!" Kagome yelled in shock. "Why do I need body guards?!"

"Because." Clover started. "You are the Black Pixie of the forest. We need to protect you until you are able to get a heir to the throne."

"The what?" Kagome asked.

Then Aqua stepped in. "You are the most powerful of all the pixies and faries. You are in charge of the village." Aqua explained. "You're our leader basically."

"Since when?" Kagome asked.

"Since your mother died." Flower replied. "She was the White Fairy of the forest. Now you're the Black Fairy of the forest. So you're in charge since you were the heir to her throne."

Kagome was taken over by shock. She was now in charge of her village. Why hadn't her mother mentioned anything to her about being the heir to the THRONE!!!! Heck! She didn't even know there was a throne for anyone in the village.

Then a male fairy walked in. He was tall, not too muscular looking, and had blondish hair.

"Oh! Kagome! This is your betrothed husband, Hojo." Clover said.

"BETROTHED!?!?!?!?!?!" Kagome screamed. "Since when did I have a BETROTHED HUSBAND?!?!?!?!?!?!"

"Since you got back. He has asked for your hand in marriage, and the coucil decided that you should be married, then you would have an heir to the throne." Aqua replied.

"What?" Kagome asked. "I don't want to be married yet! And why the hell should I marry someone who I've never met before?!"

Then Hojo walked over to Kagome. he put his arms around her. "Don't worry. We'll have plenty of time to get to know each other after we get married."

Kagome immediately pulled away. "GET THE HELL OFF ME!!!" Kagome screamed. "I will NOT marry someone before I get to know them!"

"Kagome." Hojo said softly. "It is alright. I will take care of you, love you, and will never hurt you. Don't worry. We will marry, and will have a wonderful life together."

"What?" Kagome asked as she backed towards the doorway of her home. "No...." Then she flew out of the tree. She desperately needed some alone time.

AN- Well, everyone wanted longer chappies. So here you go! Hope you're happy. So.... Kagome has a husband now. Hmm...... But she doesn't want marry him. Hmm....... Will she go find Inuyasha and tell him??? Or will she give up and marry this 'Hojo' boy??? Who knows??? I sure as hell don't. But we'll find out sometime in the future. Right? Plz R&R. Thanx! TTFN!!!
