Ending of last chapter:
" No I mean happy and content." Kagome giggled.
" No problem love." Kagome dove right back conversation with her friends. Mike and Jordan were now standing up and doing some type of routine.
Chapter 26 Visions
Suddenly Mike stopped dancing around like a fool, and put his hand in his pocket. His cell phone was ringing, and he answered it. Mike nodded his head towards Jordan and they excused themselves from the party. Kagome got up and sat next to Andrea, she asked Andrea where the guys had gone to. Andrea just said they were called back to work or something along those lines.
" It's seems as if that's all they do." Aalyah said under her breath, for only Kagome and Andrea to hear.
" Well someone has to protect the city." Andrea mumbled back.
" Ya but they need to have a life too." Aalyah snapped back.
" They do have a life, and we are part of it. We need to except that they work very hard and have long hours." Andrea retorted.
" Sure we work hard too, but we still make loads of time for them, when they're with us." Aalyah crossed her arms over her chest.
" Come on girls enough fighting for one night. It's my last night home, lets make it a good one." Kagome said cheerfully, she hated seeing her friends fight.
" Sorry, this is one subject we don't agree." Andrea apologized.
" Umhum, that's right, ya I am sorry too, we shouldn't be fighting tonight." Aalyah bowed.
" That's ok girl, I know what it is like." Kagome laughed.
" Ok Kagome here is another surprise for you." Eri said after she got everyone to quiet down.
" We decided since you will be travelling to another city soon to under go some type of treatment..." Yuke added.
" We got you a cake." Ayumi said last.
Mrs. Higurashi came out from the kitchen carrying an huge cake, it had white frosting with green lettering. It read 'GOOD LUCK KAGOME'. Kagome sat there with a strange look on her face, but then she smiled.
" You didn't have to all this you know." Kagome scolded her friends and mother.
" Be quiet and cut up your cake girl." Aalyah shouted. Kagome laughed and did so.
A little while later Kagome helped her mother bring some of the dirty dishes into the kitchen. Kagome placed them in the sink and leaned against it, and looked out the window. She wondered how long it would be before she ever saw this place again. She didn't know how her mother was going to take the news, that she was going to live in Inuyasha's time for the rest of her life. Kagome knew that the well wouldn't stay open forever and that she would be able to keep travelling back and forth. It would cause havoc, in both world's. It was this moment that Kagome knew that she would have to close the well sooner or later. She could feel that at some point a demon would figure out how to cross over, it would be to dangerous for her family to live on the shrine if that happened. Kagome turned around and watched as her mother picked up a tray of food with such grace. Kagome never really stopped to notice before that her mother was an amazing women. Kagome's mother has always understood how Kagome was feeling, why she did the things she did, and most of all, she was supportive. Kagome's mother has never doubted any of her decisions.
" Mom?"
" Yes, Kagome?" Mrs. Higurashi turned around to look at her daughter.
" Thank you. Thank you for everything, I don't mean just tonight! I mean everything over these past few years. Everything you have done for me in this life time." Kagome hugged her mom.
" I am always here for you, always remember that." With that Kagome's mother left the room. Kagome shook her head, everything would always be ok as long as her mother was around. Kagome heard a knock at the door, she went to answer, while her mother came out from the living room to get.
" I got it mom, you can go back in to the party." Kagome waved her mother on.
" Ok dear, but remember this is you party and you need to enjoy your time with you friends and family."
" I will mom." Kagome opened the door and was met by a bear hug, which really surprised her. " Umm hello." Kagome laughed.
" Hey Kags." Jordan said from behind Mike, who had now let go of her .
They both walked into the house and took off their winter coats. They seemed to be pretty tired, but once they saw the smile on Kagome's face, both woke up. Both were dressed casually, Mike had his long black hair tied back into a loose ponytail, he was wear black pants, and a white button up shirt. While Jordan left his silver hair down, he wore black pants and a red shirt. Kagome looked at Mike again, for a second she thought she caught a piece of Inuyasha shining out through Mike's eyes. But when she looked back they were different.
" So are our girlfriends still here?" Jordan asked.
" Ya, they are both in the living, plus it is only early yet." She pointed towards the living room.
Kagome smiled, as she watched Mike punch Jordan" Ya Jordan, it's only early yet." Jordan smacked him in the back of the head.
" Ok children that's enough now." Kagome laughed. " So you just got back from work?" Kagome asked.
" It is that easy to tell?" Jordan said. As Kagome lead them back into the living room.
" Before we came to the party we worked a double shift." Mike sighed.
" And just now we got back from a call." Jordan scanned the room for his girl.
" You didn't have to come back to the party!" Kagome blustered. " You should have gone home to get some sleep! God I swear you two are just like Inuyasha. So stubborn."
" And miss a chance to see our favourite Aunt..." Jordan said.
" I don't think so, plus sleep is for the weak." Mike laughed.
" Ya, and if we didn't come back we would be shot by our girlfriends." Jordan added.
" You''re telling me, they can be pretty scary sometimes." Mike cringed.
Kagome rolled her eyes, and walked back into the party. Kagome reintroduced Mike and Jordan to the group and the party went on. Mike and Jordan told a few more stories, then Eri got the exceptional idea of putting some music on to dance to. A couple of the guys groaned, but the girls ignored them. Andrea and Aalyah told their boyfriends to start moving furniture to the side of the room. Kagome nodded her head in agreement and told Inuyasha to help. While the girls went to pick out some CD's.
" How come we always have to do the heavy lifting?" Mike said as he pushed the couch back against the wall. " Well not like it is really heavy lifting, but you guys know what I mean."
" They think they own us." Jordan added.
" Get used to it." Inuyasha was shocked at what he had just said. Then he realized that Kagome did own him, for one the necklace that sat on his neck, the one that kept him in order, and the mark that scars his skin. Jordan and Mike laughed, they both knew that Inuyasha was right. They were officially owned by the girls. Mike and Jordan were actually serious about their relationship with the girls, they could image marrying them some day.
The girls chose some CD's that they wanted to listen to and put them on. First it was just the girls in the middle of the room, moving their hips to the fast beat in a large circle. Soon a couple of the guys joined in, then everyone was dancing. Kagome's mother tapped on Kagome's shoulder.
" Kagome sweetie, I have to go get your bother from his friends house. Please try not to let things get to out of control." Mrs. Higurashi said.
" No problem mom, I have got everything under control. Plus Inuyasha is here with me, he can handle anything." Kagome said enthusiastically.
" I know dear, just making sure." Margaret turned around and walked away.
" Inuyasha I'll be right back ok." Kagome said to him as he danced close to her.
" Where you going?" Inuyasha asked.
" To talk to Grandpa." Kagome stated. " Keep these animals from going wild for me please."
Kagome walked to the back hall to where her grandfather's room was, she knocked on the door and waited for him to answer. He told her to come in, she slide the door open, and walked in. He was sitting in a chair reading a book near the window. Kagome walked over and sat in the chair next to him. She looked at the title of the book, ' Old herbal remedies' Kagome chuckled, this was like him to be reading that.
" I'm leaving again tomorrow Grandpa." Kagome said with a sigh, she hated the fact that she was leaving her family again. This it could be for good.
" Yes I know, I have something for you." Kagome cringed, it might be another old, dried out hand, or some useless charms. Grandpa got up from his chair and went to his closet, he pulled out a stack of books and handed them to Kagome. All the covers were made of leather, she opened one, the pages were blank. Kagome looked at him puzzled.
" You can now write your own history." He said simply.
" Thank you grandpa." Kagome gave him a hug.
Kagome sat with her grandfather for a while talking, she wasn't sure when she would see him again, so she enjoyed her time with him.
" Ok Kagome it is time to let an old man sleep." Kagome smile and said good night to her grandpa.
" See you in the morning." Kagome said as she walked out the door.
" Bright and early." He responded.
When Kagome got back out into the living room she noticed that Inuyasha was sitting on a chair, watching most of the people dance. Kagome tried to sneak up on him, but this never went to well. Inuyasha jumped up from the chair and grabbed her, scaring Kagome in the process. Inuyasha lifted her into his arms. Kagome squealed, and giggled.
" Inuyasha put me down!" She commanded.
" What if I don't want to!" Inuyasha said testing Kagome.
" Then, I would have to.." Kagome stopped speaking, and stared. Her eyes widened in surprise, Inuyasha turned to look. Eri, and her other friends were grinding with their boyfriends in the middle of her living room. Inuyasha let Kagome down on the floor, he wasn't sure if Kagome was mad or not, so he wasn't taking a chance of getting slammed into the hardwood floor.
" I can't believe they can grind, jeez a few months ago they couldn't swing their hips." Kagome chuckled and then pulled Inuyasha out towards the rest.
" Wrench I am not dancing like that in front of all these people." Inuyasha fumed.
" Come on Inuyasha, it's not like you don''t know how to dance. God we have danced in front of strangers before." Kagome stood in front of him with her arms crossed.
" But we were not dancing like that!" Inuyasha growled, and pointed to the other people who were now watching the two. Inuyasha was trying to keep his temper in check, and so far he was failing.
" You are over reacting." Kagome hissed.
" I''m going out." Inuyasha turned around and walked away from Kagome. Kagome waited until she was sure no one would see Inuyasha in the hall. The she said 'sit'. A thump was heard through out the house. Everyone looked around, Kagome smiled and went over and turned back up the music.
" Aalyah, I have to go talk to that hot head, will you make sure nothing gets broken?" Kagome asked pleading with her.
" No problem Kags! You can leave your home in our capable hands." Aalyah said and gave Kagome a wink.
" Kagome?"
" Ya?" Kagome turned around to look at Andrea, hoping for a little advice.
" It''s a bit chilly out, put on a coat." Kagome sweat dropped and then left to go find her mate.
She walked out into the chilled night air, she still couldn't believe Inuyasha went off for such a stupid reason. People grinded all the time in this era, it's not like it is anything new to her. Then something hit her. ' In Inuyasha's time they don't dance like that. It is almost shameful to kiss hands in public, let alone grind.' Kagome smacked herself in the forehead, why didn't she realize this a couple of minutes ago.
Kagome looked up in the sacred tree to find Inuyasha sitting there. He looked down, Kagome gave him a small smile. Inuyasha jumped down and picked Kagome up in his arms. He then jumped back into the tree. Kagome got comfortable in his lap then turned towards Inuyasha.
" I'm sorry, I forgot that the past has different social out looks. But Inuyasha when you are here in this time it is ok to dance like that." Kagome gave him a smile.
" Whatever." Inuyasha looked out at the city.
" Inuyasha please say something more then that." Kagome hated when he did that. " I am sorry for sitting you. I shouldn't have."
" Your temper is getting as bad as mine wrench." Kagome smiled, he wasn't that mad at her or he would have pushed her away by now.
" Maybe you are just rubbing off on me." Kagome really wanted to get back to the party.
" Come on let's go in."
" You still mad at me?" Kagome asked as they walked to the door.
" I needed a good sit, haven't had one in a while." Inuyasha joked.
" Well in that case I guess I'll so it more often." Kagome giggled.
" I wouldn't go that far with it."
Kagome and Inuyasha rejoined the group. Inuyasha pulled Kagome tight to his body, he decided that he might as well try to dress like the rest. Kagome ran her fingers over Inuyasha's chest. She could feel the shiver that ran through his body. Inuyasha pulled Kagome closer if that was even possible, her scent drove him wild. He bent down and place a kiss on Kagome's lips, he nibbled on her lower lip to be allow entranced to her mouth. Kagome wrapped her arms around Inuyasha's and relaxed into his hold. Inuyasha pulled away from the kiss and licked his lips.
' She tastes so sweet.' Inuyasha thought. All his concentration was on Kagome.
' Thanks.' Kagome put a hand to her mouth, they had just done it again. They communicated without even speaking.
" Did you?" Inuyasha asked.
" Ya." Kagome and Inuyasha started to dance again, they might as well get used to this new found talent of theirs.
Suddenly Kagome stopped dancing. Her vision blurred, her heart sped up, and breathing increased. Kagome could feel her legs buckle underneath her, Inuyasha caught her before she could fall to the floor. Kagome started to shake violently, Inuyasha decided that it would be best for her to be laid on the couch, so as to not hurt her. While all this was going on, Eri, Yuka, and, Ayumi, gathered everyone in the front hall and graciously asked them to leave. They said Kagome would be fine, and that this was just a little attack and needed some rest. To everyones relief, they believed them. It took a few minutes to get everyone out the door, but it worked.
Inuyasha sat on the floor next to Kagome holding her hand. He had placed her on her side as so she wouldn't choke on her own tongue. Kagome had now stopped shaking, to everyone's relief. Andrea and Aalyah had called Sesshomaru, who was now on his way. They were scared, very scared.
" Kagome wake up, wake up wench. Please just open your eyes Kagome. I know you can do it. I''ll let you sit me a 100 times. " Inuyasha pleaded. He knew she couldn't hear him but he had to try something. Andrea felt Kagome's pulse, it was weak, but it was still there.
" Inuyasha we need to do something or she will die." Ayumi said and reached for her friend.
" Don't touch her." Inuyasha growled. Andrea explained to Ayumi that she couldn't touch Kagome, that she could hurt her.
Kagome was now in the past, but it had changed. Really the land was flat, fires were burning and rotting bodies laid every where. Kagome's hand went to her mouth.
" What happened here?" She asked a loud. That's when she heard the groan. She twisted around to find Sango 8 feet away from her. Kagome ran to her, Sango's body was covered in blood, and it looked like one of her arms were broken, along with both her legs. Kagome pulled her best friend into her arms. Sango's eyes opened slightly. She looked shocked, but weakly smiled.
" Don't worry Sango you are going to be ok. Inuyasha is on his way, he'll bring you to my time. They'll fix you up." Tears flowed freely down Kagome's face.
" Kagome, you must save the others." Sango''s breath was laboured and shallow.
" What happened? Where are they?" Kagome looked around, and then listened, a battle could be heard off in the distance.
" Naraku...attacked...dawn...weren't ready..." Sango took a second to take in some more air.
" Sango shh, save your energy. You are going to need it to beat up Miroku later." Kagome tried to comfort her dying friend.
" Shippo, Kirara and, Keade, dead. You arrived to late. If...only...Tell Miroku..I Love him.." Sango let out her last breath.
" No Sango you can't leave me...SANGO!" Kagome shouted.
More tears streamed down Kagome's face. She laid Sango's lifeless body on the ground, and got up. It was time that she joined the on going battle, but first she needed to find her bow and arrows. Kagome ran to were Keade's hut used to be, it was now a pile of wood. Kagome looked through it until she found what she was looking for. She pulled out her bow and arrows, then she took off like a mad man to kill Naraku. She came upon the battle scene and almost got sick. Bodies lined the ground, the blood seemed to flow like a river. Kagome could see Inuyasha fighting Naraku.
" Kagome..." She turned to her left to see Miroku sitting on the ground.
" Miroku, are you alright?" Miroku was holding his cursed arm.
" Where's Sango?" Kagome''s face went pale, she didn''t want to tell him.
" Miroku I'm sorry, she has past on. She told me to tell you that she loves you." Kagome looked at Miroku, his eyes were hidden behind his hair. There was a flash of light, Kagome shielded her eyes. She could her Inuyasha screaming her name. When the light dyed down Kagome surveyed the land. She couldn't see Inuyasha any more, Miroku was dead, lying on the ground.
" No, Naraku, you...you...Damn you." Kagome shouted. She was left by herself, no one was going to help protect her. Inuyasha, Miroku, Sango, Kirara, and Shippo were all gone. She was alone in this world. It was just how Kikyo said it would, she would have no one to protect her, only herself.
" Don't worry Kagome you will see them soon enough." Kagome watched as Naraku's sword was drawn...
Kagome awoke from her state of darkness, scared, and crying.Inuyasha pulled her into a hug. Kagome fought against his embraced, but soon she calmed down. She sobbed in his arms.
" It's ok, I am here." Inuyasha repeated this over and over to Kagome.
" Inuyasha we have to go back tonight. We have to please!" Kagome said abruptly. Kagome's mother walked over to her.
" Kagome, calm down dear, lie back down." Kagome mother patted Kagome''s head.
" What are you talking about?" Inuyasha was confused. They were going back tomorrow morning. Kagome calmed some and sat up from Inuyasha's arm.
" Eri, Yuka and Ayumi, I am so sorry for what happened tonight. I only had a small episode, please forgive me for not being a very good hostess." Kagome bowed her head towards her friends.
" Kagome it wasn't your fault. You couldn't help or stop it. Now can we get you anything?" Ayumi said quietly.
" No, I think I'll just go get some sleep." Kagome said knowing all to well she wouldn't be going to sleep tonight.
" Why don't I walk you three to the door?" Mrs. H offered.
" Thanks mom." Kagome smiled towards her mother, she really didn't want her friends to find out about Inuyasha being a demon, her travelling to the past and her being a Miko tonight.
" Ok, bye Kagome. Get better now you hear." Ayumi said as she walked towards the hall.
" Now I expect to see you in a few weeks for prom dress shopping! Don't forget you hear." Eri told her.
" C-ya girl I hope you feel better soon." Yuka added before she left the room. Kagome's mother returned to the living room a minute later, this time Sesshomaru was following right behind her. He had pulled up as the other girls left.
" Ok, first tell me what happened, then I'll have a look at you." Inuyasha didn't like the idea of Sesshomaru looking at his mate , even if he was her doctor.
" I felt weak, then dizzy, next thing I know it I was in the past. Naraku was there, he killed everyone, they were all gone. In a blink of an eye, I was left by myself, everyone was dead. I had to protect myself, just like Kikyou said I would. I couldn't even protect my friends or my mate from him." Kagome was in frenzy. She needed to calm down, or she would hurt herself.
" Kagome calm down, it's over. He's not here." Inuyasha comfort Kagome.
" I see that you are now have visions of the possible future." Sesshomaru said coldly. " But it just because it is a vision, doesn't mean it going to come true." Sesshomaru got up and walked to the door. " I suggest you go home tonight Inuyasha, but just let me give you a quick look over before you go. We got to be sure that you are in a suitable condition to travel." Inuyasha nodded his head, he did agree with the fact that him and Kagome should go back tonight.
Sesshomaru opened his medical bag and pulled out a couple of things, he asked if everyone but Inuyasha and Margaret could leave the room for a few minutes. He just wanted to give Kagome so privacy, there was no need to have them in the room. Kagome lid back down on the couch, Sesshomaru gave a check over, she seemed to be fine. There was nothing out of the ordinary going on, well except for that Kagome's heart was beating rather fast. But that would only be from the fright she got from her vision. Kagome got up off the couch and walked around the room a little, but then sat down again. Her head was spinning, Kagome felt like she was falling. She took a couple of deep breaths and the sensation went away. Sesshomaru, took out two small pills, they would help for the time being, but sooner or later Kagome would have to face the facts. The time has come, the final battle, time to say good-bye to her family and friends for maybe the last time.
" Take these, they should help your head ache for now. As far as I can see you are able to travel tonight." Sesshomaru said and stood up.
" Thank you very much Sesshomaru." Kagome went to get up put Inuyasha wrapped his arms around her.
" Come on Kagome lets get ready." Inuyasha lifted her off the couch and up to her bedroom. When he got there he closed the door and put Kagome on the bed.
" Inuyasha I just got to change and we can leave." Kagome was about to get up but Inuyasha stopped her.
" Kagome are you sure you are ok to go back?" Inuyasha looked concerned.
" Yes." Kagome pushed passed him and proceeded to changed, she didn't care that he was watching her. Inuyasha sighed. He change back into his normal clothes.
" Ahh, that feels better." Inuyasha grunted as he stretched.
" Come on Inuyasha we got to leave now." Inuyasha grabbed Kagome's hand and walked out of the room. Then went down the stairs together. Everyone was waiting down stairs for the two. Inuyasha could see Kagome's big yellow back pack by the door waiting for them.
" Well I guess this is good-bye." Kagome said to her friends and family.
" Don''t say good-bye Kagome, that means forever, let us say c-ya later." Andrea said. A tear rolled down her cheek, as she hugged her friend good bye. She knew what was coming in the future for the couple.
" I will see you soon Kagome." Aalyah hugged her as well.
" It was nice meeting you two." Jordan said, his face serious. " God what am I saying I am going to miss you two like hell." Jordan pulled Kagome and Inuyasha into bear hug.
" Hey, don't forget about me you hear." Mike said as he joined the hug.
" How could we!." Kagome joked.
" Ok, that's enough hugging my mate." Inuyasha warned. The two men returned to their girlfriends, with a chuckle. Kagome walked over to her little brother, she put her hands on his shoulders and look into his eyes.
" Now little bro you are going to have to take care of Mama and Grandpa until I get back. I love you Sota." Kagome hugged her little brother.
" I love you too sis and you don't have to worry. I got everything under control here." Sota brushed a tear from his eye. Kagome couldn't even speak for the moment.
" Thanks kid." Inuyasha messed up Sota's hair.
" Mama." Kagome hugged her mother.
" It's ok dear, everything is going to be just fine, you go and fight." Kagome let go of her mother and hugged her grandfather, who had just joined the group.
" Inuyasha you take care of my daughter." Inuyasha nodded his head.
" Bye Grandpa." Kagome said her final good-bye. Inuyasha picked up her back pack and headed towards the door, only to be stopped by his brother.
" Watch yourself brother, keep her safe." Sesshomaru back away, and let Inuyasha pass.
" C-ya everyone." Kagome waved once more and walked through the open door. Her and Inuyasha walked to the shed that covered the well. She took one more look around, this could be the last time she saw this place. She turned around once more before going into the shed, she could see her family and friends in front of the house watching her. The light from the house poured out over the grounds of the shrine, making the snow glisten. She stood for a moment by the shed door, tear slipped down her cheeks. Inuyasha was behind her with his arm wrapped around her shoulders. He kissed her hair, and took in her scent, god how it drove him wild.
" Good-luck!" Andrea shouted.
" You can do it." Aalyah cheered.
" Kick ass." Jordan screamed.
" Shit that was what I was going to say," Mike jabbed Jordan in the side. " Ummm, give him hell!" Mike added.
" You can do it sis!"
More cheers came, Kagome felt better knowing that she had her whole family was behind her. They understood what lay ahead of her and her friends. Kagome and Inuyasha walked into the shed and shut the door. A small amount of light illuminated the space, casting shadows on the walls, they danced a crossed Kagome's face. Inuyasha embraced Kagome, maybe for the last time if Kagome's vision came true. It was then they both decided that they wouldn't let it happen. They were going to live a long time together with their friends. Kagome leaned up and kissed Inuyasha softly, he took her face gently into his hands.
" You are my world Kagome and I am not going to let anyone hurt you. I love you." Kagome stayed slight for a moment.
" Inuyasha, I have loved you since the day I met you even if I didn't know it at the time, I only just got you, and I am not going to let Naraku take you away from me. You are mine forever, I love you with all my heart and soul." Inuyasha brought up Kagome's lips to meet his. He pulled away and took a long look at Kagome.
" I guess we should get going." Inuyasha finally said.
" I guess so." Kagome looked back towards her house, even though the shed door was closed she knew that her family was still outside watching and waiting for a sign that they were gone. Kagome could see her mother's tear stricken face, her brother standing next to her hold her hand. Kagome forced herself not to turn back and hug them one more time.
" You ready?" Inuyasha asked, he didn't want Kagome to go if she wasn't ready to. He understood that her time was cut short with her family because of what might happen. Kagome nodded her head and took a deep breath. Inuyasha pulled Kagome close to him and they jumped into the well. The familiar blue light surrounded their bodies, the felling of being weightless took over, Kagome's grip tightened on Inuyasha. She felt strange that something was not right on the other side of the well. She wanted to get their as quick as possible.
When they reached the other side, the snow was still deep. It was up into Inuyasha's waist this time. He cursed at how he should have built a shed over it, he would do that soon. Inuyasha smelled the air how he missed this place. His home, their home, Inuyasha looked down at Kagome, even in the dark he could see her beautiful face. A silent tear ran down her cheek, Inuyasha wiped it away with his thumb.
" We will see them again." He reassure Kagome.
" I am just happy to be back, I really did miss this place." Kagome smiled up at him, Inuyasha could tell that she wasn't telling the whole truth, but he wouldn't bother her. " Come I'm tired and it's cold out." Inuyasha shrugged his shoulders then jumped out of the well.
" Here get on, it will be quicker." Inuyasha knelt down in the snow and allowed Kagome to get on his back. She smiled, she really did miss this, riding on Inuyasha's back was one of her favourite things to do. Inuyasha stopped just outside Kaede's hut, he whispered to Kagome to take out her sleeping bag now so they would make much noise when they entered the hut. It was late, almost 1:30 in the morning. Kagome had changed into her pj's at her house, knowing all to well that she wouldn''t be able to do it in the hut when she go there.
Inuyasha and Kagome crept into the hut, only to find Kaede by the fire, she nodded her head, and continued to stir a boiling pot. Kagome shrugged her shoulders, and walked past her sleeping friends into the other room. Inuyasha followed, Kagome put her sleeping bag on the floor and crawled into it. Inuyasha at first didn't know what to do, what if his friends caught him and Kagome sleeping together? They would know something was going on, then Naraku had an easier chance of finding out, then he would use Kagome against him in battle. Kagome watched as her mate thought for a few minutes, then she lifted up part of her sleeping bag for Inuyasha to get in with her.
" What if-" Kagome put a finger to Inuyasha's lips.
" Just shut up and go to sleep." Kagome said quietly.
At dawn Kagome awoke from a terrify nightmare, it was the same as her vision from earlier that night. Her body was soaked in sweat, her heart was racing and tears trailed down her cheeks. Inuyasha looked at her with sorrow in his eyes, he hated seeing her like this. Why couldn't Kagome catch a break? Inuyasha wished he could answer that question. Somehow he managed to get Kagome to fall back asleep, while he went out to watch over the village for the morning. As long as Kagome was having visions of Naraku attacking in the early hours of the morning, Inuyasha would stand guard. Inuyasha felt like someone was following him, he turned around and found a very sleepy Miroku following him.
" Welcome back Inuyasha." Miroku walked along side of his friend.
" Feh." Inuyasha was in no mood to talk.
" Inuyasha I can see you don''t want to see or talk to anyone right now, but we have a small problem." Miroku stopped and looked at Inuyasha from the corner of his eye.
" What is it monk?" Inuyasha growled.
" Well three days ago Koga jumped in on me and Sango while we were doing our rounds." Inuyasha turned to the monk, and glared him right in the face.
" What did he want?" Inuyasha was ready to jump the monk.

Miroku walked outside Kaede's hut in search for his Sango, who was out walking around the village. Over the past few days everything seemed to feel different. The air felt like electricity was running through it, most animals seemed to have run off and the villagers were quieter than usual.
" Good morning Miroku." Sango said as she walked up next to him.
" It's a great morning now that you are in my presence." Miroku responded, Sango flushed a deep shade of red, she turned her head away from Miroku and looked out into the forest.
" Miroku do you see that?" Sango pointed to a small cloud of light snow was forming on the edge of the forest. " It couldn't be?" Sango sighed.
" I'll handle this my dear Sango." Sango rolled her eyes and watched as the cloud of snow came closer. In a couple of minutes later Koga stood in front of Sango and Miroku.
" Koga if you are looking for Kagome she is not here." Miroku said in a stern voice.
" Where is she? How come I don't smell mutt face." Koga looked around.
" I'm sorry to tell you Koga, but Inuyasha and Kagome have gone to her home for the next while. They shouldn't be back for the next few days." Miroku turned to Sango, she had her arms crossed over her chest. She looked bored.
" You mean to tell me, that mutt face has taken off with my woman." Koga yelled.
" That is correct." Sango spoke for the first time. " Koga let me ask you a question, don't you get bored of chasing Kagome around, when she clearly doesn't want to be your ' woman '?" Sango asked.
" Be quiet, I am going to find Kagome." Koga sniffed the air then took off.
" I guess we should wait here for when he comes back." Miroku looked up at the sky, which was grey as usual. The snow on the ground wasn't as high as before, but they still had the occasional snow fall. Ginta, and Hakkaku finally caught up with Koga, or at least they thought they did.
" He'll be back in a minute." Sango said. Both sat on the ground trying to control their breathing. Sure enough Koga return a minute later.
" Why is it that Kagome's scent only goes as far as the well? Where the hell is my woman?" Koga shouted.
" I told you, she's gone to her home, she will be back in a few short days." Miroku said and started to walk away, along with Sango.
" Come on." Koga took off again into the forest.
" I wish he would slow down." Ginta said getting up and taking off after his leader.
" I wish I was at the den." Hakkaku sighed and then went to follow.

" He said he came to retrieve his women and would be back in a few days." Miroku turned to Inuyasha. " We can't have that wolf running off with Kagome, Naraku could..." Miroku stopped in mid sentence.
" So you feel it to monk." Miroku nodded his head both know that the final battle would be coming soon.
" He wont be taking my Kagome any where." Inuyasha wanted to kick himself in the mouth.
" Your Kagome huh?" Miroku teased.
" Shut up monk." Inuyasha had to some how fix the mess he just made.
" Inuyasha I know you want her so why don't you just tell her." Miroku patted Inuyasha on the shoulder and walked away.
' That was close ' He thought and walk around the village once more before returning to the hut for some breakfast. When he entered the hut Kagome, and Sango were off to the side of the room chatting, while Shippo played with some toys, and Kaede cooked. Inuyasha walked over to the corner of the room and sat down. He looked over to Kagome who was looking at him, she turned away with a blush. Inuyasha chuckled, his mate sure did know how to play the part. Kagome grinned and her and Sango got up to leave. Kagome grabbed her bow and arrows before going out the door.
" What are they up to?" Miroku asked.
" Kagome wants to practice, and learn some new skills." Inuyasha answered. " Monk come with me." Miroku followed Inuyasha out the door, they went into Inuyasha's forest.
" Ok, I came so.." Miroku had no idea what was going on.
" I was thinking about building a house out here." Inuyasha seemed to be off in a daze.
' Thinking of me and Kagome having our very own house, our first home. It will two floors just like Kagome's in her time.' Inuyasha thought.
" Earth to Inuyasha!" Miroku snapped his fingers in front of Inuyasha's eyes.
" What?" Inuyasha snapped at him.
" Why do you want to build a house out here?" Miroku was curious at what he friend was thinking.
" Well for one, the village smells nasty..." Miroku had to agree with that, the village did smell pretty bad even to his human nose.
" I think the girls would like to have a house out here, so we can finally stop crowding Kaede." Inuyasha walked away.
" For once Inuyasha you are right." Miroku ran to catch up to the half demon.
" Feh, whatever monk." Inuyasha paced around, he wasn't sure where he would build to. It needed to be close to a hot spring, and a river, so they would be able to get both hot and cool water. Inuyasha smelled the air, some thing or some one was close by. That thing being Koga, Inuyasha growled and ran from the clearing that him and Miroku had walked into to.
" Inuyasha?" Miroku ran after Inuyasha, who was well ahead of him now. Inuyasha ran through the forest, the wolf prince's scent getting stronger with each step. This drove Inuyasha to run faster, there was no way in hell he was going to let that wolf touch his women. Inuyasha stopped and Kagome was standing a few feet away from him shooting off arrows. She stopped and walked over to him.
" What's wrong?" Kagome looked around, she didn't see anyone.
" Koga, he is coming for you." Inuyasha growled. " There is no way he is going to take my mate." Inuyasha said in a hushed voice.
" Don't worry Inuyasha I wont be going any where with him. Have you seen Sango? She went into the forest and never came back out." Kagome was starting to worry, this was no time to be disappearing.
" Let's go find her." At that moment a cloud of snow came spinning into view. Inuyasha stepped in front of Kagome protectively.
" Oi mutt face, get away from my woman." Koga came to a halt in front Inuyasha and Kagome.
" Koga-kun it is nice to see you, but I am sorry to say that I am not your woman. I have told you that." Koga's face turn red, both with shame but with anger.
" What has this mutt done to you?" Koga yelled. He tried to make a grab for Kagome's arm but Inuyasha blocked him.
" What do you think you are doing wolf?" Inuyasha's eyes were dark.
" I came to get my women." Koga stared at Inuyasha.
" Feh, like that is going to happen." Inuyasha rolled his eyes, he was sick of Koga calling Kagome his women. " So Koga, where are you followers?" Inuyasha threw him a side glance.
" I don't need them...to help me beat the shit out of you. Now move it." Koga made another grab for Kagome.
" Don't touch her wolf." Inuyasha looked at Kagome from the corner of his eye. She seemed to be emotionless, her face was cold, and eye seemed to be glazed over. Inuyasha turned around, Kagome wobbled on the spot but never fell. Inuyasha grabbed and shook her gently, but she never responded. Koga tried to push past Inuyasha to get to Kagome, but he seemed to be held back. Koga tried to force him self forward but fell flat on his face.
" Get the fuck back Koga." Inuyasha looked Kagome in the eyes, he couldn't understand what was happening. What was going on inside her head.
" Mutt move out of my way, I'll take care of my women." Koga snarled.
" Koga are you that stupid and oblivious that you can't see? Kagome doesn't want to be your women! She never wanted to be your women!" Inuyasha said coldly, Koga seemed to remind him a lot like Hojo.
" Shut up, you know nothing." Koga was taken back by Inuyasha's coldness.
" Leave now." Inuyasha's voice was threatening, Koga took a step back but never left.
" I am not leaving mutt.." Koga was cut off by a ear piercing scream, but it wasn't from Kagome. Koga looked around, there seemed to be in some type of alternate universe. '' What the hell? How the...?" Was all Koga could say, he had no clue on how they got there.
" If you two are finished with your bickering, you will pay attention." Kagome was now speaking but it wasn't her voice that being projected. The voice was unearthly, but enchanting. " I apologize for having processing this poor women, but it had to be done. I will leave her body soon enough." Inuyasha knew that voice, it sounded so familiar, but yet different.
" Who are you?" Koga asked, what the fuck had he gotten himself into.
" That is none of your concern, Inuyasha I was only supposed to bring you here, but you Koga, you interfered with that plan. So be quiet." The women's voice echoed in the vase area.
" Ok." Koga shook his head.
" Now, take a look around, what do you see?" Inuyasha couldn't see a thing, just darkness. He was about to answer when Koga jumped in.
" Nothing" Koga said impatiently.
" That's the point, if the woman who's body I am now in dies, this will our future. Her purpose in this life is to protect the world against the darkness. Along with, her protector, her mate, they will save the world, with the help of the others. Side by side with each other, the four protectors will live for centuries." The woman's voice rang out, and hung like fog in the air. " This is the prophecy I am to tell to you." Kagome's body went limp to the ground.
" Kagome!" Inuyasha ran to her side, she awoke as soon as she felt his warm, rough hand touch her skin.
" Why am I lying in the snow?" Kagome asked. Inuyasha smiled, she was back. Inuyasha helped her to her feet.
" I'll explain every thing later." Koga stepped forward, and grabbed Kagome's hand from Inuyasha's. Kagome tried to jerk it away, but he tighten his hold on her. Inuyasha was getting ready to draw the tetsaiga, but stopped. He could see that Kagome wanted to take care of this herself.
" Come with me Kagome, be my mate!" Koga said quietly.
" I am sorry Koga." Kagome slipped her hand out of his. " I have chosen another." Kagome back away from him, the looked of hurt and pain that washed over Koga's face made Kagome want to cry. " Koga, I am sure there is someone out there for you, but that someone is not me." Kagome tried to comfort the hurt demon.
" Who is he?" Kagome caught Inuyasha's eye.
" That is none of your concern wolf." Inuyasha growled.
" Kagome please come with me." Koga was almost pleading with her.
" I need to stay with my group, now leave us alone." Kagome turned away from Koga and started to walk away. She picked up her bow and arrows the ground, then continued on into the forest.
" You heard her wolf, back off." Inuyasha took off to follow Kagome in the search for their friends.
" You shall be mine Kagome, wither you like it or not." Koga stood up to his full height, turned on his heels and started off back to his den. Kagome watched from the forest with Inuyasha standing behind her.
" Do you think he will be ok?" Kagome asked Inuyasha.
" Feh, who cares?" Inuyasha turn away from Kagome and started to walked in the direction of the village.
" Inuyasha I know you don't mean that." Kagome scolded, he stopped walking and sighed.
" Kagome I know for fact that he will be fine, now lets got find Miroku and Sango." Kagome stood there for a moment, she then raised her bow and shot an arrow. " Why did you do that?" Kagome pointed to a tree that stood about 70 feet away, she hit it dead centre. Sango and Miroku inched out from behind the tree. Sango gave a small wave and started towards them.
" How did you know that we were there?" Sango asked in disbelief.
" I don't know it just kind of came to me, like I could almost see you behind the tree." Miroku stood by Sango and thought. Then an idea came to him.
" Why don't we play a game of hind and seek. Us three will hide, then when all of us are hidden you will see if you can sense and find us."
" For once Miroku you have a good idea." Sango complimented.
" Why thank you lady Sango." Miroku thought for a moment. " Wait a second..."
" Go hide!" Kagome giggled. A few minutes later Kagome stood in the middle of the clearing, with her bow and arrows ready. " Here it goes." She closed her eyes and tried to feel where her friends were. She shot her first arrow, it planted 60 feet away in a small snow bank, Sango stood up and waved. The next one she shot, was about 80 feet away into a small set of trees. Miroku came out from behind and gave a shout. Now Kagome had to focus on finding her mate. She closed her eyes once more, she could feel the hair on the back of her head stand up, his eyes were watching her. She opened them and shot straight up into the air , the arrow landed just behind her. Kagome turned around and faced Inuyasha.
" I knew you were coming." She said quietly. Inuyasha wanted to take Kagome into his arms so bad at that very moment.
All four walked back to the village some time later that afternoon. Kagome's powers seemed to be growing, but with that, demons would start to feel her power and come after her. She noticed this, but never said anything. Inuyasha seemed to on his toes more then ever. Night soon fell, while everyone was sleeping Inuyasha left the hut, and he walked into the forest.
" Hello Inuyasha." Inuyasha turned around.
" K-k-Kikyo?" Inuyasha breathed.
