Deep Within's Note: Hey people! I hope last chapter was good for you all, I hope this chapter is even better! Oh, and remember that lady that said she'll bare Miroku's child, she's back! Good, eh? Also, a surprise is going to happen, yay!


"Hello." Kagome waved at the lady that just said her name. Her voice... it sounds too familiar, but the way she looks, I've never seen someone look like that before. Or I might have forgotten about meeting her.

She smiled. "I've never thought that I would have seen you here, again. Oh and how's Miroku?" She asked; her voice sounded so much like someone Kagome met, but the voice had an extra sweetness.

Right then, she remembered who she was because, when she mentioned something about Miroku, it had to have been one of those ladies that Miroku asked, 'Would you bare my child?' She, now, looked like the one that talked to Miroku today. "He's fine. I guess he might be sleeping at this time."

"Oh, that's great. As long as he's safe, I'm happy. Any ways, Kagome, why are you outside when the wind looks like it's going to be strong, and the sky looks like its going rain? I'm out here because I needed to get some things, but you?" She asked Kagome.

"I wanted to be alone for a while, that's all. Other than that, I don't know why I'm out here. Maybe because I love how the sky is an endless blue color."

"I think I see. May I ask you something? Could you please, come and visit me at my hut. It's not too far away from here, in fact, I think it's only a couple of minutes away."

"I don't know," she suddenly stopped. She was about to say her name, but she forgot what it was. Kagome, just guessed what her name was, and hoped for the best. "Hoi-sum..."

"It's Yukina, but that's okay. You only know me by a bit, so I'm okay with it." At first when 'Yukina' said that, she seemed a bit mad, but she cooled down.

"I'm sorry about that, really sorry."

"Don't worry its ok." Yukina smiled. "Any ways, I'll see you later." She waved good bye to Kagome and smiled.

When Yukina left, Kagome went near the tree, and sat there; doing what she was doing before Yukina came.

InuYasha stared at the book. For a while, he just looked at it, then his hands tried to open the book but, he couldn't for some reason. Damn it, I can't even open the book. There must be something wrong with it. He placed it down at the table. InuYasha wasn't sleepy at all, so he went where every one was sleeping at the moment.

He shut his eyes. When he did, he still didn't get sleepy. He decided that he should try to open the book once again. 'Third time... It should work by the third time.' He tried opening it... and he did.

"Hm, I think should return by now. It's really dark." Kagome stood up. It was cold outside, so she put her hands inside her pockets; the pockets where she mostly puts the shards in. She moved her fingers around, not feeling the small little jar. It feels like the jar isn't in here. She pulled out her pockets, nothing. It wasn't there.

"The shards! How can I lose them? No one had them! No one was near enough to get them!" She shouted. She looked under the well, around it. Nothing. She started going in the forest, still she found nothing.

"Looking for your shards, pathetic human?" She had the jewel shards in her hand. Since it was dark, Kagome couldn't have seen anything. But guessing, it sounded like it was Kaurga's voice, to Kagome's ears.

"Hand them over to me or I'll shot you with my arrows!"

"You think you can hurt me? You can't even see in the dark, so you can't even get it to aim close to me, unless you got luck on your side, which you don't."

Kagome ignored her words, and took out her arrows. She closed her eyes, and shot it.

"That was close, but not close enough. You can try all you want, I don't care. When you shot your arrows, I can sense them. I'll move to another direction. And plus, it looks like you ran out of arrows, my dear."

She's right. I ran out, but I remember that before I went out, I had a ton of them left. How can they be gone also? She didn't have anything to protect her. Kagome stood still. Thinking of what she could have done. She could have ran, but that's something Kagome didn't want to do.

InuYasha started to read it, bit by bit. First, her Diary was all about her life and before she came to the Feudal Era. InuYasha found that bit, boring. He didn't fond that part much since; he didn't know some of the people she talked about. InuYasha skipped a few pages, maybe more than a few pages. He skipped all the way until he found the pages that contain stuff about the Feudal Era.

Dear Diary, its Kagome. I'm at home right now, I just returned from the Feudal Era. Nothing to special happen... InuYasha stopped reading her Diary in his mind. It looks like that took place the first time she returned to her own time.

Kagome still stood there; she hoped that who ever had the jewel shards would not hurt her. She also hoped that the person or demon would find it in their heart to give back the jewel shards. Kagome sat on the ground; defenseless, she was happy she wasn't hurt or gotten attack yet.

"Let me ask you a question. Now, did that Yukina person sound like someone you know?" She asked.

Kagome stood up now. "Yes..." Kagome didn't know what was going to happen.

"Well, guess who it was. Do you think it was me, or Naraku?"


Deep Within's Note: I'm hoping that wasn't a cliff hanger, but if it is, my bad. I hope you enjoy this chapter. I don't have anything else to say but, hope you like, and if you can, review.
