Sango: They are the works or Rumiko Takahashi, not her

Demonica: Happy dance No more exams, exams are no more continues to dance

Miroku: And she's not listening to us sweat drop

Sango: oh well, on with the story!

Chapter… umm is it 9? I can't remember? Someone correct me if it isn't…

Kagome felt cold, very cold in fact as she snuggled under the blankets further. Something beside her groaned and shifted closer to her. She could feel the heat through the blanket as she felt something warm curl around her, yay.. Warmth. Her foggy mind concluded that this was good, heat and warmth was good. She settled off into a doze as she felt something smooth the bangs away from her face and a cool cloth being put on it.

Was she sick? Probably. And Souta was probably worried about her that was probably whatever the warmth behind her was. But whatever it was, was much bigger than her 8 year old brother, was it mom? Had finally come home from one of her long business trips? That seemed logical.

"How long before the fever breaks?" a voice rumbled from behind her, the vocal cords were low and even as she felt the vibrations through her back.

" Quite honestly I can't tell, those chemicals were pretty strong, they reverted ye back to a 5 year old. I must admit ye were pretty cute as a five year old" The other voice was quiet and wise, female obviously but at the moment she didn't care. She was being looked after, she was comfortable, something around her smelled great, like forest and cedar with something very masculine hidden in the background. There was a sigh and more shifting beside her. Slowly she drifted back into sleep, only to be greeted by nightmares.

Dream sequence

It seemed ordinary enough, the park, the swings on which she was sitting, the only weird thing was there were no children. No toddlers in the sandbox, no preschoolers climbing over the jungle gym, the park was totally empty. Kagome scuffed her shoes in the soft gravel under them.

" Hey Kags!" A friendly voice called as she whipped around to see Miroku waving to her, a friendly smile on his face. He moved so that Sango could stick her head around his shoulder and wave, Shippo was there too as he waved a butterfly net in the air.

She waved back as a shadow covered her, looking up she saw Inuyasha. He had a genuine smile on his face as he reached a hand down to her. She was about to grab it when a scream shattered the air. She looked around to see Sango crying as Miroku fell to the ground, another gun shot and she was dead.

" Run Kagome! Inuyasha! RUN!" Shippo yelled as he ran towards them. A man with long black hair stood just out of range laughing as he pointed the gun at Shippo.

" Shippo! Get down!" She screamed as Inuyasha grabbed her and pulled her away from the scene. Another gun shot and she no longer saw the boy, maniacal laughter filled her ears.

" You'll never escape Kagome, I'm coming for you. I've put up with you too long" The voice sounded familiar as the blackened figure stepped out in front of the two fleeing teenagers.

" You thought you could run, how pathetic. Die Inuyasha" The gun was pointed at her before the fire was shot at Inuyasha, it caught the poor boy in the stomach as he toppled over, blood coming from the side of his mouth.

" INUYASHA!" she screamed as the figure vanished laughing. Kagome kneeled down next to him. He just smiled before his eyes rolled and he died. Kagome cried, this had to be a dream she concluded as something cold wrapped itself around her.

" I'm never going to stop following you. Remember this Kagome, I will pick off your friends one by one until I get to you." She glanced at Inuyasha's corpse and felt dread creeping into her body.

" Get away from me!" she yelled, pulling a sword out of thin air and pushing the figure back. All he did was laugh and pull his own sword.

" This is how you will die Higurashi!" He smiled as she swung her sword over her head, striking him over the head. But the sword didn't cut, it bounced off and was suddenly in his own hands. He pointed both swords at her,

" You know if you would've just joined my gang in elementary school we could've solved all of this" That made her brain reel as the first sword came down, going through her stomach, then the second one, just under her diaphragm. "It's a real pity, you could've been really pretty too" He sighed as she fell to the ground, her eyes open in a blank stare.

End dream

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" The high pitched feminine scream knocked Inuyasha right out of his bead and onto the floor as he saw Kagome shoot up into a sitting position. Tears were coursing down her face as she shook, Fear coated everything in the room so strongly that he had to pull his shirt over his nose.

" What happened?" Shippo asked as the door banged open with everyone in their Pj's standing fully alert by the door.

" OH my god! Shippo!" Kagome latched herself onto the poor boy and began sobbing, Sesshomaru looked out of the window as he caught sight of a small black thread. Carefully slicing it with his poison claws, the string vanished and a crack of wood met his ears, a small wooden doll, now in half, fell to the floor right by his feet. Carefully he collected the pieces and put them into a handkerchief.

" Hey Kagome, stop. You're going to make yourself sick." Inuyasha's gruff voice commanded as she gave a little hiccup and looked over at him. When she saw him she immediately left Shippo and attached herself to him. Inuyasha stared sown at her as she began to cry again, but it wasn't the harsh cry she had done earlier. It was soft, almost inaudible, and that was what disturbed him the most. Almost like she was curling in on herself making her even smaller than she was.

Quietly everyone left the room so that it was just the two of them.

" I thought you were dead" she whispered, so quietly in fact that even he had a hard time hearing it. It felt like someone had slapped him, she actually cared if he died. But slowly understanding crept into him as he sat her down on the bed, she had stopped crying by then but she was still in shock.

" I think it'll be pretty hard to kill me Kagome, 'cuz see I'm still here" He felt more than a little awkward as he rubbed soothing circles on her back like his mother had done to him when he was little and had, had nightmares. She seemed to relax a bit as her breathing evened out and she drifted back into sleep on his shoulder. He let out a sigh as Shippo crept into the room, taking up a spot across form them.

" She asleep?" He asked as Inuyasha nodded. Shippo sighed and shifted over so they could lay Kagome back down. " Sesshomaru found another puppet. It was controlling Kagome's dreams." Shippo pulled a piece from his pocket and held it out to Inuyasha. He took the small fragment of wood from the boy and gave it a sniff. A scent he knew much to well nearly knocked him off of the bed again as he passed the wood back to the boy. "We need to tell them soon, about our secret. They need to know Inuyasha! It's not fair to them not to know. They are involved now! As their parents are. Especially to Kagome, she doesn't even know what is happening to her" Shippo stared forlornly at his older half brother. Inuyasha though for a few moments, but either way he thought about it Kagome and the others were involved. Where he liked it or not, this was some serious shit they had gotten themselves into, and Shippo was right. Finally he gave an exasperated sigh and nodded, Shippo knew he was right. Inuyasha was just stubborn that was all.

Quietly he got up and left to report Inuyasha's decision to Sesshomaru, who was waiting downstairs in the lounge.

"He said we were right and that its unfair not to tell them" Shippo reported as Sesshomaru raised one of his eyebrows at the thought of Inuyasha being intelligent enough to see how big their problem was.

" Then we will tell them tomorrow, after school. This is getting bad. The Onigumo's are becoming to be more than a handful of problems. Now they're targeting innocents, this has gone on far enough. I shall call father and relay the information we have gathered. The next step will be seeking out a new hideout since this one has been found out." Sesshomaru concluded as Rin gave a yawn.

" Why don't we go to you know where, with all the medieval stuff" Rin said as she crossed her legs, Sesshomaru watched her for a moment. She was talking about the castle, it was hidden between two worlds, this one and the spirit world. He would need special clearance from his father for that but if that is what this called for so be it.

Sesshomaru nodded as he stood and left the room, heading for the private phone in the dust library.

In the lounge...

Inuyasha tottered into the room, Rin was looking slightly more awake since Shippo was playing video games at top volume. He passed by Rin and caught a whiff of something that he really didn't want to think about.

" Rin, go get a shower. I really don't want to know about what you and Sessh were doing earlier" He commented as Rin giggled and walked over to the marble staircase.

" But you know Inuyasha, you should try it sometime its sooo great!" She teased as Inuyasha shook his head in disgust. He really didn't want to think about it right now.

" She's very forward isn't she?" Shippo said as he pulled a monster move on his snowboarding game. Inuyasha just grunted and continued to make a strawberry daiquiri before joining Shippo on the couch.

" Pass over a controller" He said as Shippo handed him one. Thus the night progressed, until the wee hours of the morning when the two teens finally fell asleep on the couch.

7:00AM

Kagome groaned and rolled over, why did school have to start so early? She pulled herself out of the bed and across the floor to the bathroom. She walked in, ignoring the sound of the shower running and began to brush her hair. It was in a mini afro from last night's fright. She pulled at the near dreadlocks in the back first, as she slowly worked her way to the front. Smoothing the wavy hair as best she could. When she finished she pulled her toothbrush from the little red and black bag covered in black Scottie dogs. She never noticed as Inuyasha stuck his head out from behind the shower curtain, grabbed a towel and disappeared behind the shower curtain again, she probably would've noticed him… had she been a morning person. After brushing her teeth she added some black eyeliner to cover the bags under her eyes and pulled her hair back into a low ponytail.

" I can tell you're not a morning person" Inuyasha said as he walked up to the sink, toothbrush in hand, only wearing a scanty white towel that was falling off of his hips. Kagome just stared for a few seconds before looking at the floor a fierce blush covering her cheeks, she had never noticed how great his body was, nor the fact that he wore plastic live strong bracelets over his wrists.

She looked up to see him smirking down at her, " Like what you see?" He commented as Kagome felt her anger rise at his cocky remark.

"Why you-!" She never got to finish before Inuyasha had tackled her to the floor, a loud twing and explosion of broken porcelain behind her scared her so much that she didn't move an inch until Inuyasha moved off of her just enough for her to look around and see his face in a grimace. " Are you ok?" She asked breathlessly, still winded from the harsh impact onto the floor.

" Shut up, they're still here. Just pretend you and I are dead. Stare up at the ceiling and don't blink" She did as she was told, her mouth slightly open in a silent scream. This seemed to be effective as she slowly heard the shifting of leaves in the tree from outside. Another twang went off as a gurgled scream met her ears, and the thump of a body falling a long way down met her ears. She shivered unconsciously as Inuyasha got off of her, brushing the fine porcelain dust from his shoulders.

He pulled her to her feet as she glanced around at the damage done. What ever it had been had exploded the fine porcelain toilet bowl and most of the tile floor and wall behind it. Inuyasha was cursing as he turned on the shower again,

" Great, now I need another shower!" he muttered to her and winked as he got in, tossing the towel her way. Another blush crossed her cheeks as she left the bathroom, she swore she could hear him laughing.

Making it downstairs she met up with Sango and Miroku, both pale and slightly drenched as Sesshomaru paced the Kitchen. Rin and Shippo had taken up bar stools as everyone jumped when Kagome entered,

" Everything okay?" She asked as everyone gave a jerky nod and decided who was going to get a ride with who that morning. Just as they were heading out to the cars Miroku had to ask " hey, Just where is Inuyasha?" as said teen strutted down the walkway, his silver hair still soaking wet and a fine layer of porcelain dust covering his faded blue jeans.

" Speak of the devil" Kagome muttered before she jumped into Rin's white convertible just to spite her saviour. Inuyasha didn't seem too impressed with her when she made that choice, especially after she almost fell off of the back at Rin's crazy driving around the corner.

" Dude, she'll be okay" Shippo said jumping into the passenger side of Inuyasha's Mitsubishi spider. Inuyasha just looked at the rapidly greying sky,

" I hope so, Shippo, I hope so" He said as he jumped in and revved the engine, taking off for the school as Rin's car swerved all over the road.

" Rin's driving is as bad as your speed addiction" Shippo said as Inuyasha drove at 100 km/h in a 60 km/h zone. " We'll if I live to be 30 I'll celebrate it as a great victory on my part" Shippo groaned as Rin barrelled through a stoplight and two stop signs.

Finally the school pulled into view as Kagome felt her breakfast from last week coming back to meet her. The girls staggered out as Rin gave them a disbelieving look.

" Now really, is my driving that bad?" she asked as Kagome toppled to the ground, only to land hard on her butt. Rin gave a sceptical look and threw the car in reverse, managing to not kill anyone thankfully, yet denting the dumpster.

"You know you should really drive with Shippo and me" Inuyasha's voice rang out clear as day over the parking lot as Shippo came to greet them, Inuyasha not far behind. Kagome didn't know why but the way Inuyasha was almost hanging off of her was causing her a feeling of claustrophobia as she pulled out a pocky stick and began munching on one end. So the normal morning routine of High school began, lunch for that matter was a whole different ordeal.

Since it had begun to rain the group volunteered to stay inside and lounge in the halls. Kagome was leant backwards against a locker, her feet in the air as she chewed on the end of a pen. Shippo and Miroku sat next to her since Inuyasha had offered to get them some sodas from the caf. Sango was buried deep within the reaches of her mythology studies textbook. Once again there was no one in their hall, except for the few delinquents who were supposed to be in the cafeteria for some bizarre reason.

"How long does it take some one to get sodas?" Shippo asked as foot steps came around the corner. Kagome jumped up, expecting it to be Inuyasha. She was right in one sense Inuyasha was there but what was more frightening was the way Naraku held the butterfly knife across his throat. Kagome stopped as visions from last night crisscrossed her vision.

" My Fag-ome. Aren't we doing well today?" he asked as Inuyasha mouthed the word RUN. Naraku tightened his grip, " now, now Inu. We don't want me to accidentally slip do we?" he asked as knife bit into the side of Inuyasha's neck, a thin line of blood running down under the collar of his burgundy t-shirt.

" Stop it! What do you want Naraku!" She yelled as Naraku's face twisted into a sinister smirk.

"You always were a good girl Fagome. Lets switch, you for the dog" Kagome was confused at what Naraku had called Inuyasha but agreed nonetheless. Inuyasha couldn't believe the exchange that was going on as Naraku let him go, reaching his arm out for Kagome.

"FOX FIRE!" a bluish green version of fire sprang up around the two teens as a smoke screen covered Naraku. Kagome felt something wrap around her waist and drag her in the opposite direction that Naraku was in as someone anxiously pulled her out of one of the fire escaped into the rain.

Gun shots met her ears as the group ducted under the school's overhang. Inuyasha grabbed the door in front of them, sending them all toppling into the kitchen. There wasn't much except for some enormous pots and pans, a deep fryer, and an enormous fridge.

" What are we going to do? Naraku's got this place surrounded with snipers!" Shippo was close to having a panic attack as Sango calmed him down.

" What we need is a plan" Miroku said as he looked over the utensils and the items they had to use against the snipers.

"WE have, dish soap, pots, pans, grease, frozen French fries, a strainer, walkie talkies courtesy of Sango dearest, more dish soap, Kitchen knives, spoons, forks, sporks, cookie sheets, and food." He listed as Inuyasha plotted a plan in his head.

" Sango? Are there still those paintball guns in the gym?" he asked as she nodded

" Paintballs too" she said as Inuyasha's grin widened.

" Ok everyone. We're on a mission, get to the school gymnasium and get as many guns and paintballs as you can get. Everyone suit up. Kagome and Shippo you will be travelling by vent. Miroku, you and I will try to find the snipers. And Sango you are here in home base." He sounded like a little kid and everyone felt even stupider when the got their kitchen utensil armour on. " Dish soap, check, large Spork, check, spoon, check, walkie talkie, and check-" he stopped as Kagome giggled behind him and crawled into the air duct behind him. A faint smile covered his mouth before he and Miroku snuck out into the dimly lit corridor.

In the vent...

"Sango can you hear me?" Kagome asked as the radio crackled a little.

" Yes Kags I hear you " Sango's voice whispered as the two continued towards the gym. There wasn't much but dust in the vent until the duo came to the air vent right above the cafeteria.

" I told you lot to shut up!" a roar of anger met Kagome's ears as she looked down to see hundreds of students with their arms over their heads. This needed to end and fast she decided as she heard the fire alarm go off. Nice one Inuyasha she smiled as they continued their way to the gym.

A few hundred feet more and they were in the gym storage rooms. Both doors were locked as there was no one in the room. Shippo pulled the gate away as Kagome dropped onto the large gym mats, the paint ball guns were in a locked case a few feet away, however, the paint balls weren't. Hauling a bag onto her shoulder she passed it to Shippo.

" Kags! We have a problem! Miroku and Inuyasha aren't responding I think- Ahhhhhhhhhhh!" the signal faded out as Kagome looked fearfully up at Shippo. Breaking the glass, she grabbed two guns and as many paint balls as she could find before shooting back up into the ventilation. Shippo awaited her with the sacks of paint balls, they loaded the guns as Shippo pulled some paintball armour from behind his back. The two pulled off their kitchen armour, piling it neatly in a corner before the two made their way to the cafeteria. Shippo smiled as he motioned to the front of the duct, he had found the others. They were all roped together against the stage as two men in dark clothing watched them, half asleep. The other students were on the floor, their hands still over their heads as they feared for their lives.

Suddenly the doors slammed open and two men dragging exact replicas of her and Shippo that she almost screamed at the way they were holding her.

" Boss, we found the other two" One man slurred as he fisted his hand in clone Kagome's hair, making her cry out. The real Kagome glanced at Shippo to see him in deep concentration, his hands glowing slightly green as he manipulated the two clones below.

" What do you want done with them?" The other asked as clone Shippo gave a pathetic whine. A voice came out of the shadows,

" Bring the girl to me, tie the boy with the others" The men brought Clone Kagome up onto the stage. Kagome stared in mortal horror at the scene being played before her, Clone Shippo was tied with the others as Inuyasha began whispering furiously at clone Shippo. But Kagome was well, more focused on her clone than Shippo's. The voice that came out of the shadows was none other than Naraku himself as Kagura stepped out behind him.

" How unfortunate that we meet paths again Fagome" Naraku sneered as he pulled her hair back revealing her pale throat. " And it so unfortunate that you're going to die here. In front of all of these young souls." He smiled at the crowd who was now watching as the crazed young man pull out a butterfly knife.

"You're despicable Naraku" Kagome's voice echoed into her own ears as she watched the drama.

" So I'm told" he sneered as he leant in next to her. Kagome's vantage above the stage was so great she could even hear the whispers.

"Give it to me. Give me the jewel" he snapped in a harsh whisper as Clone Kagome stared at him in confusion.

" I don't have any jewel" She said as his smile vanished. His knife threatening her.

"I'll give you to the count of ten" He said as clone Kagome's eyes widened, Now Kagome in the vent was very, very confused. A jewel, she had a jewel? But no time to think as he began the count down.

" One, two,…" he waited as clone Kagome turned to stare at him, her eyes wide and frightened. "Ten" the word fell as did the knife, cutting her throat open, crimson blood spilt all over the floor as she crumpled to a heap in the floor.

" Kagome!" Inuyasha's voice echoed so loudly that her own ears in the vent were ringing. Shippo leant against her for support as the corpse Kagome laid on the stage, eyes open and staring.

" I'm going to the next vent to get a better shot" she said as she loaded a fork into the front of her silenced paintball gun. Creeping silently, she heard all of the whispers from the students about her death. She chuckled silently as she got an excellent vantage point, she could see Naraku just in front of her as she looked back to see Shippo aiming at the same target. Kagome held up her hand ON THREE she mouthed as he nodded. She held up one finger than two, Naraku glanced to Inuyasha, giving her a clear view of his neck. Third finger was up as both forks hit their mark, one in the back of the neck and the other his head. He turned around as his mouth gaped, He looked up to see Kagome as she waved and gave him the finger. He opened his mouth to shout as another fork pegged him in the chest courtesy of Shippo. He fell to the floor silently as bullets began to dent the thick ventilation. Kagome grabbed her paint balls, loading them she returned fire as did Shippo, getting most to the men in either the eyes or backs of their heads. Very quickly they ran out of paint balls and resorted to using spoons that hurt worse, even killed two men. More came running as Kagome and Shippo picked them off, one by one.

PUH-TWING

A rush or fiery pain burst into Kagome's left arm as she rolled to her side in the vent, shifting her way to another position away from Shippo. She took the guy who shot her down with one of her sporks and a few more. Finally the few left gave up, pushing their guns to the floor and towards the students, who tied their hands and roped them together.

Kagome was exhausted by that point as Shippo crawled over to her. He had been hit too in his left hand and right shoulder. He looked over her, it seemed the bullet had just scraped her but it was still bleeding pretty badly. Slowly they made their way out of the ducts and onto the cat walk above the stage, from there they climbed their way down. Shippo's illusion had vanished as well as the fake Shippo. Inuyasha was looking at the floor, his eyes seemed far away and sad. Sango was crying on Miroku's shoulder, as everyone else escorted the captives out to the awaiting police. Kagome watched as Inuyasha finally gave in and slunk against the wall, his face hidden against his knees.

Silently she walked over and knelt in front of him, he didn't seem to notice her until she touched him. He jerked up and stared at her, a few tears still clinging to his long eyelashes.

" Hey, I'm right here! No need to panic!" She said as before she knew it she was being crushed against him in a hug not humanly possible. Sango looked up at Shippo who smiled weakly and sat down on the stage. She glanced at Inuyasha, who was holding a very live Kagome indeed since she was talking to him in a low voice. Slowly she calmed down, what had just happened then? Why wasn't Kagome dead? Many, many questions swam about her head as Miroku laid a hand on her shoulder. She looked to see him smiling brightly but there was something else… she looked around, Naraku's body was gone!

" Um… guys… where's Naraku?" She asked as everyone looked around. Inuyasha straightened, Kagome still tucked against him tightly as he beckoned them out the back stage door and out into the student parking lot. Quietly they slipped away as the media flocked to the front of the building.

Neither Kagome Higurashi's, Inuyasha Takahashi's, Shippo kitsune's, Miroku priest's, nor Sango Taijia's bodies were ever found, neither was Naraku Onigumo's.
