"Uh, where am I?" Rei whispered to herself. But someone overheard.
"You are in my castle." Rei opened her eyes. Before her, a woman stood. She had long black hair and wore purple gowns.
"Who, who are you?"
"Oh my, how impolite of my self. I am Kaguya, princess of the moon."
"So, where do we start?" Miroku questioned the group.
"Well, what did the demon that kidnapped Rei smell like? Anyone we know Inuyasha?" Sango asked.
"I know, but it's impossible." Inuyasha answered.
"Nothings impossible. Now, tell us what it smelled like." Miroku told the Hanyou.
"It smelled, like…Kaguya. I'm positive it smelled like that bitch."
"How can that be? We destroyed her. She was sucked into Miroku's hand. How could she have escaped?" Sango wondered out loud.
"Well, it can't hurt to make sure it's not Kaguya. Why don't we go the lake where the castle was, to see if she's there?" Kagome suggested.
"It couldn't hurt." Miroku stated.
"You'll leave in the morning. Now ye should sleep." Kaede told the group. She had returned from a village not far from theirs, helping heal a child who was very sick.
Everyone nodded in agreement. Inuyasha went outside, while everyone else slept in the hut. About 20 minutes later, after everyone else was asleep, Kagome stepped out of the hut. She walked around and into the woods a bit. She finally found a good spot, and began to weep. Her body racked hard with sobs. Rei. How could this happen? How could this happen to us? Kagome looked up at the sky.
"What if you are dead? I thought I was away from this place, away from this pain." Kagome walked to the small grave that had belonged to Kikyo. "Hello Kikyo. Bet you never thought I would be here, huh?"
A few more tears fell.
"I had his children. I had his babies. I named them Yuki and Rei. Rei has doggie ears, just like Inuyasha. My mother had a fit with how cute she was." Kagome smiled at the memory.
"I loved him. I loved him with all my heart and soul. But it still wasn't enough. You still had him He still loved you. I guess I could never beat the original. You won out. I don't care anymore. I can live with the pain. I can live with knowing he loves you, not me. I just want my daughter back! I just want to go back and stop Yuki from falling down the well. I wish I never came here with them. I just want to go back with my babies and this will all be a dream. I can't bear to be near him. To know it was a lie. To know I could never compete with you. In the words of my children, 'this friggin sucks'!"
The tears couldn't stop. Kagome's body shook hard with her sobs. She felt strong arms wrap around her waist and immediately stopped.
"You have no idea how wrong you are Kagome."
DUN DUN DUN!
