(Magneto's hide out)
"Hmmm. So that's where it is. Heh. Not too far from Bayville unfortunately. As long as the X-Men don't find out about this I may finally get rid of them once and for all. Sabretooth, I have a new job for you. I need you to go here," Magneto said, handing Sabretooth a map and pointed to the area he needed to go. "There you will see a tree covered in thick vines with an arrow sticking out of it. I want you to remove the arrow, which will release a demon and then bring him back here. With his help we can get rid of the X-Men for good."
"Hn. Is that all," Sabretooth asked, looking down at the map.
"I think so. I will do more research if there is more to it when you return," Magneto said, turning back to piles of books on his desk.
"What about the X-Men? Won't they find out," Sabretooth asked, looking back up at his boss.
"As long as you don't make yourself known, you will not be discovered. Now go," Magneto said, waving Sabretooth off as Sabretooth walked out and closed the door.

(Tokyo Airport 5:00 am)
"Are you sure you have everything," Mrs. Higurashi asked, looking at her daughter pick up her bring-on luggage as people started loading onto the plane. "I can always mail it to if you did."
"Hai, Mom. Don't worry. This is going to be a lot safer then going down the well. I will call when I get there. I'll see ya." Kagome said, walking over to the porting dock and handed her ticket to the ticket man. "And don't forget to call me if you comes through the well.
"Bye, Kagome," Mrs. Higurashi said, waving to her daughter.
"Bye, mom," Kagome said, walking down the porting dock and disappeared into the crowd of people. "I'll miss you!"

(On the Plane)
"sigh Finally. I hope Inuyasha is okay. I wish I knew why the well stopped working," Kagome said, sitting down beside at window and looked out at the darkened sky and lightened runway as the intercom came on. "Please be all right Inuyasha and you guys."
"We will be leaving in a few minutes. Please turn off all electronic equipment, fasten your safety belts, and make sure your trays are in their up right and locked positions. We will arrive in Bayville in 27 hours." The captain said, over the intercom as the roar of the engines grew loader. (A/N it's a guess I don't know how long it will really take.)
"Try not to think about it. It's the best thing to do right now. I'm going to a new country, a new school, and I'm going to make new friends. I should be happy but… I don't feel right leaving when I might never see Inuyasha and the others anymore," Kagome said, looking out the window seeing her reflection in window as the plane started to pull away from the dock and started moving towards the runway.
"Good morning. May I get you something?" the stewardess, asked looking at Kagome.
"Just a pillow." Kagome said, turning to look at the stewardess.
"I'll be back in a few minutes once the plain takes off," The stewardess said, walking down the aisle as Kagome felt the plane pick up speed and she looked back out into the dark window, seeing the runway lights race by and soon grow smaller as the plain took off into the night sky.

(Inuyasha's time)
"So, this is the place." Sango said, looking at a dark cave, holding a flashlight Kagome left behind for them. 'Not much to look at."
"It is. Now… Traveling Witch I the Lord of The Western Lands beseech thee. I require your help," Sesshoumaru called out into the cave as everyone heard his voice echo through the long, dark cave. "Come forth so that I may talk to you face to face and negotiate the terms."
"What is it you need, great lord?" an old woman's voice echoed out as the sounds of shuffling foot steps echoed out as well, growing loader.
"We have need of your abilities. Would you be welling in helping us send my brother to a new land away from the people here in Japan?" Sesshoumaru asked as the elderly witch walked into the light of the flashlight.
"Why are you in need to send him away," the witch asked, straightening her black, blue, and red kimono as she held a tall, wooden staff with a large purple crystal place at the end of the staff. "Sure you must not hate your brother that much."
"My brother is a mere hanyou and his youkai blood is rising in him, out of his control. We need you to send him far away from the people he knows and cares for," Sesshoumaru said, looking at the old witch walk up to him.
"I see but my help doesn't come free. You will have to a pay price," The witch said, stopping dead in front of the great lord. "What will you be will to pay me in return, great lord?"
"I can pay as much gold and jewels your price requires," Sesshoumaru said, looking down at the withered old witch. "Just name your price."
"I don't not want gold or jewels. For what you asked I must asked that you and your companions to stay beside your brother. The price is merely showing me how much you and your companions care for him. To show a dying old woman there is still brotherly love left is this world of war and death." The old witch said, looking at a perturbed Sesshoumaru and the rest of the group.
"It is done," Sesshoumaru said, bowing to the old witch. I was hope to just dump him of somewhere and get him out of my hair. Just my luck.
"It is not! I'm not watching this pup— muffle mumble" Kouga was cut off by both of Shippou's small hands over his mouth.
"Sesshoumaru, we still need to find a miko to seal Inuyasha away and to keep him from killing people," Miroku said, looking at Sesshou-Maru as he stood beside Sango.
"A miko, you say? I know of a village not far from here. She is must revered there and children love her. I can take you there," the witch said, holding her staff out over everyone and in flash of light they all disappeared. "

(Village)
"Where is it that the bitch resides," Kouga asked, crossing his arms as everyone followed the witch to a shrine with a small hut in front of it. "I just want to get her and then get gone."
"In that hut there you will find the lady priestess" The witch said, pointing to the hut still shrouded in darkness. "You're a very pushy wolf. No manners to the elderly."
"Why you," Kouga snapped, glaring at the old woman.
"I will go in and ask for her help." Miroku said, walking up to the hut but was pulled back by a strong hand, pulling him back by his ear. "OWWWW! Hey, hey, Sango this hurts."
"Like we would really let a hentai like you go in there by yourself," Sango said, yanking harder on his ear, pulling him back to her side. "Get real, houshi-sama!"
"sigh Well, it was a nice try." Miroku sighed, following Sango into the hut.
"Inuyasha, what is it? You seem a bit unnerved all of a sudden," Shippou asked, looking up at Inuyasha's mopping face. "Do sense something?"
"It's Kikyou. She's the miko here," Inuyasha whispered as Sango and Miroku ran back out, holding their weapons up as Kikyou walked out with her bow and arrows. I guess it's fate she has to duty of getting rid of me once again.
"Who is she? She looks like Kagome but she smells of death, dirt, and ashes," Kouga said, looking at Inuyasha.
"What do you want here," Kikyou asked, aiming her arrows at Miroku and Sango.
"Lady Kikyou, seeing on you being the only miko here we have need of your help," Miroku said, looking into Kikyou's cold, dead, brown eyes. "Will, you please do so."
"Lady Kikyou the miko that sealed my brother away just over 50 years. Is this truly her," Sesshoumaru asked, looking at Sango. "She died, did she not?"
"She did but she was brought back to life by black magic." Sango said, stepping back. "She has to collect souls to maintain her form."
"Heh! And are you truly the brother of Inuyasha," Kikyou asked, looking at Sesshoumaru, hearing the conversation quite well."
"I am," Sesshoumaru said, nodding his head slightly.
"Kikyou," Inuyasha's voice sounded from behind Kouga. "I'm right here."
"Inuyasha, is that you," Kikyou asked, turning to see Inuyasha walk out from behind Kouga. "It is you. Why are you here?"
"Inuyasha, are you crazy? You can't ask Kikyou for help," Shippou said, jumping onto Inuyasha's leg but Inuyasha continued to walk towards Kikyou.
"Inuyasha, I'm so happy to see you." Kikyou said, walking up to Inuyasha and went to hug him but was stopped by his hands, holding her back by her shoulders. "What is the matter, Inuyasha?"
"Kikyou, I am here to ask you something, that may solve both of our problems," Inuyasha said, looking into her eyes as she looked by into his. "This is kind of hard for me to ask—"
"Why do you have that sutra on your brow," Kikyou asked, backing off, pointing at the fuda on his forehead. "It's a seal. What is going on, Inuyasha?"
"My youkai blood is rising out of control and I need you to seal me away again, That way we both might find peace," Inuyasha said, looking away from Kikyou.
"Where is my reincarnation? Why isn't she here by your side," Kikyou asked, smirking so slightly one would miss it unless you really looked for it. "She should be here. Why is she absent at a time like this?"
"She went back to her time and she blocked the only way to her world. If she should return I don't want to hurt her. That is why I am asking you to lock me in the same spell again," Inuyasha said, giving a quick look back at the walking clay pot in front of him. "It would be best for me and everyone else."
"Hmmm. So I see. I do grow weary of this world. I shall seal you away once more so we both can find peace," Kikyou said, started to smile, thinking about finally having Inuyasha to herself once more. I can finally have him once more and I can die… Oh, how I've waited for day.
"Inuyasha," Shippou whispered into Inuyasha's leg, which he still clung to, starting to cry. Why does he if have to go away? It's not fair! NOT FAIR AT ALL!

(The woods just outside of Bayville)
"A tree with thick vines and an arrow he says. Huh. I don't see any thing like that." Sabretooth mumbled to himself, looking at the map in his hand as he walked through the woods as a dark shadow high in the trees watched him move through woods. "Just wild goose chance if you ask me. Demons really."
"So, someone after all this time, has come to free him. Father won't be happy to hear this. He might let me fight this time alone this time," A young looking woman with white hair, dog-ears, claws, fangs, and a crescent moon on her forehead said, disappearing into the shadows of the tree tops. Finally some real action around here.

(Elemental Fortress)
"Let's try this again. You hold your katana with both hands," A grown and taller Shippou dressed in jeans and a green T-shirt said to two little kids in old fashioned haori and hakama. One kid was a girl the other was a boy "Now balance yourself with the sword."
"But, uncle Shippou, this thing is too heavy," the little girl whined, holding the long steel blade in both of her hands. She looked like a miniature version of Sango.
"Yeah, it's way too heavy," the little boy cried, nodding his head agreeing with is one year older sister beside him as he too held a sword. He looked like a miniature version of Miroku. "My wrists are starting hurt along with my arms."
"Well, you don't want to fight with a wooden swords for the rest of your lives do you," Shippou asked looking at the kids.
"Hai, we would!" the two said in unison, nodding their heads.
"Listen you two, I knew your ancestors the two of you are named after. Now you don't want to let them down do you?" Shippou said, looking at the siblings.
"No, but we—"
"No, buts you two. Just practice your normal routine," Shippou said, picking up his own sword to start the kids off. "Then I'll teach you some new things."
"Yes, sir," the kids moaned, starting the basic drills.
"Shippou, where is my father," The dog-eared woman asked, looking the kitsune. "I'm must speak with him."
"By your uncle's tomb. Why? You sound like you are in a hurry," Shippou said, looking at the woman that was watching the two kids practicing. "Has something happened while out on your watch?"
"We have an intruder. I need to tell my father. I'm hoping he well let me fight by myself for once. I'm not a child anymore I'm over 500 years old," The woman said, running off to her uncle's tomb. "He's got to let me fly solo sometime."

(Inuyasha's tomb)
"Father! There is an intruder coming this way can I take this one please," The woman begged looking up at her father. "He'll be easy to defeat."
"You may, Azumi, only if you take Kirara with you," Sesshoumaru said, looking at his daughter. "I don't want you in a fight alone."
"What! Dad, I can handle this without that neko's help," Azumi said, looking up at her father. "I'm old enough now to—"
"You take Kirara or I will get rid of the intruder myself. Am I clear," Sesshoumaru said, throwing his own daughter a death glare. "You may leave now."
"Y-yes, sir." Azumi said, picking the neko youkai off the ground and ran off to get in her fighting outfit that looked like Sango's but where it was red on Sango's slayer outfit was white on Azumi's. "I'm old enough now to handle myself in a fight. He's way too overly protective of me."

(Bayville airport)
"moan Where is she?" Logan asked himself, holding a sign written in Japanese that spelt Higurashi Kagome on it. "I fell stupid standing here."
"Are you Logan?" a girl asked. walking up to Logan, carrying a backpack on her back, a duffel bag over her shoulder and a suitcase in each hand.
"Yeah, I am and are you Kagome," Logan asked, looking at the beautiful girl before him.
"Hai," Kagome nodded as Logan took the two suitcases from her hands. "Sorry, I took so long."
"How good is your English," Logan asked as he and Kagome walked outside and to the van.
"It's all right to a point. I know some words like yes, no, hi, bye, my name is Kagome, and I'm hungry. I just need a refresher course," Kagome said, handing Logan the last two bags off her body. "I understand more than I can speak it."
"Well, we are just going to have to work on that. Get in," Logan said, putting her stuff in the trunk as Kagome got into the front seat and buckled up.

(On the road 15 minutes later)
"By the way do you know about the type of place you will be living at. I hope they put that in the letter," Logan said, driving down the road.
"No, they left that part out," Kagome said, looking out the side window. "I don't know why—"
SCREEEEEEEEECH!
"OW! WHAT WAS THAT ALL ABOUT! YOU NEALLY CHOKED ME WITH THE SEATBELT," Kagome yelled, pulling the seatbelt from her neck after Logan slammed on the breaks. "What are you trying to do kill me or something?"
"What do you mean they never told you," Logan asked, turning to look at her.
"Like I said they never told me at all of where I am staying," Kagome said in a raspy voice, rubbing her sore neck as Logan started driving the van again after people started honking their horns. "I thought is was just a goof someone made but come to think about they didn't even put in addresses or phone numbers either."
"I don't believe those idiots! Awright listen, kid. Where you are staying is a place you are going to have to keep your mouth shut. To sum it up you are staying at Xavier Institution…" Logan said, seeing Kagome's eyes grow wide at the mentioning of Xavier Institution. "N-not as a student though."
So that's why they didn't tell me! Jerks! Well, there goes that normal people wishful thinking out the door. Kagome thought, looking out the windshield in shock.
( A/N Well, there is the second chapter! I hoped you liked it! is a spell scroll. Sorry the revising is taking a long time to get finished. Buh bye!)
