Last Time:

After awhile it started getting dark and she began getting an eerie feeling as if someone or something was following her. But every time she turned no one would be there. She wanted to stop and rest but didn't gather up the courage. But little did she know is that someone was following her and planned to make sure she was gone…for good.

Kagome ran through the dark forest with a grin on her face. She couldn't wait to see Inuyasha, and the others. It seemed as if it has been years! She continued running even though her legs began to ache for rest. But she could sense Inuyasha and…two jewel shards? She finally came up to a clearing. She saw red cloth flash behind the trees along with the yellow fur and fire of Kirara.

"Inuyasha! I'm right here! Inuyasha!" Kagome said as she jumped up and down smiling and waving her arms.

Inuyasha stopped running then got pushed forward because Koga knocked into him. Inuyasha sniffed and his ears twitched. He turned to the right and looked in between one of the trees to see a long clearing. Then he heard a faint voice.

"Inuyasha! I'm right here! Inuyasha!"

He's eyes got wide as he ran through the clearing faster then he ever ran in his life. He could hear the others and Koga yelling at him. But he didn't care, he knew it was Kagome, it had to be. He finally saw Kagome who ran up to him with tears brimming in her eyes. She dropped the kimono in her hands and ran at Inuyasha with open arms.

"Kagome!" Inuyasha said as she wrapped her arms around him in a killer hug. She held him close as he wrapped his arms around her. He took in her scent that he missed.

"Kagome, what happened? Did he hurt you? How did you get away?"

"He let me go." Inuyasha pulled away and looked at her questioningly.

"He let you go?"

"He's not a bad guy Inuyasha. He's just misunderstood and-"

"Kagome!" voices said as they came up to her. She smiled and ran to Sango and embraced her.

"Sango!" Kagome cried missing her best friend. She turned to Miroku and smiled and hugged him also, "Miroku." He hugged her back. She pulled away and hugged Shippo who bounded in her arms.

"We missed you Kagome!" he cried as he hugged her tight. Kagome hugged him back and saw Koga who walked over to her.

"Kagome, what ever that evil demon did to you, I'm going to make him suffer for it. Inutrasha over there should've-" His ranting was stopped when her felt Kagome wrap her arms around him in a tight hug. He was shocked.

"Koga, thank you." She said as she pulled away, "But you guys have it all wrong."

They all looked at her, "What do you mean Kagome?" Miroku finally asked.

"He's not an evil demon at all. He's sweet and kind and has 3 of the cutest kids. He's smart, yes I know he hates women but he only hates them because a priestess broke his heart years ago. But he's not bad at all. He's actually…quite the gentleman." Kagome said smiling picking up the kimono he gave her off the grass.

"You mean…he didn't hurt you?" Sango asked.

"Nope, not at all."

"Kagome-sama, what did you mean he has kids?" Miroku asked.

"He takes care of three kids because there parents were killed by the humans in that village." They all were silent trying to swallow the fact that she was never in danger.

Yoshio looked down at his writing. He was writing more words to that song Kagome sang before when she was locked in the cell. He liked that song a lot but he would never tell anyone not even Kagome. He heard the sound of feet on the wood and turned to Kenji while covering his lyrics.

"Lord Yoshio, where is Miss Kagome?" Kanji asked as he walked up to Yoshio. Yoshio turned to look at the small boy and sighed.

"She left, Kanji."

"Is she coming back?" Kanji asked, his voice squeaked because of on coming tears.

"Yes, she said she would." Yoshio reassured him, but also trying to reassure himself. Yuri and Ryo came from the back room and stood next to Kanji. Yuri opened her mouth to say something but Yoshio put his hand up to silence her. He looked around and sniffed at the air. The smell of jasmine and rain reached his nose…

'Kagome. She came back.'

He turned and ran to the main entrance and swung open the doors only to be met by an arrow fly past his face. The spiritual power that came from it broke his demon tainted mask into a pieces like glass.

Yoshio's eyes were wide as he looked down upon the girl he trusted. She stood there with her eyes holding fire in them. He backed up in shock as the children just stood there in fear.

"Yoshio, I can not forgive you for killing all those women and that priestess. You're a monster and you must be killed." Kagome fired again slicing Yoshio's thigh in the process. It hit the back wall and began to turn into flame. It caught the ink on fire which made the wall start to burn. The children gasped in fear backing away from the flame.

Kagome shot another one, but this time Yoshiro lifted his arm to stop it but it pierced him. He fell to the ground in pain as it began to burn and purify his arm. Kagome walked over to him not even minding the fast fire that engulfed the house. She glared at him.

"The priestess was right to trick such a stupid demon." Kagome said as she turned and walked out of the collapsing home. She walked into the forest, then a grin appeared across her face…

"You're telling us you want to go back! But why?" Inuyasha yelled.

"I made a promise Inuyasha. He said that I have to go back and say good bye for good. I have to." Kagome said as she smoothed out her new kimono as she got up from the grass. The others followed suit and got up. Sango and Miroku got on Kirara and Shippo got on Koga's shoulder. Kagome mounted on Inuyasha's back.

"He's not a bad person who guys. Plus he trusts me." She said and they were off. They ran through the forest as fast as they could t get this over with. Inuyasha sniffed the air. He turned to Koga who ran next to him.

"You smell that, wolf breath?"

"Yeah, there's a fire somewhere, mutt face." Kagome looked above the trees and gasped.

"No! That's where Yoshio's house is!" She said frantically as they hurried toward the fire. They got there and stood in aw. The flames were high and the house was fully engulfed. Kagome got off of Inuyasha and took a step forward.

"Yoshio…Kanji...Yuri…Ryo…" Their images flashed in her head. Tears came to her eyes. But soon stopped when a cry was heard from inside the burning home.

"WIND OF HELL!"

Everyone stared in shock as the fire disappeared to reveal Yoshio standing there with the children behind him. All was left was the remains of the burnt house around their feet. Yoshio looked up at Kagome. Kagome smiled and ran toward him.

"Yoshio! You're alright!" She ran toward him with open arms and hugged him tightly. Then she was shoved back hard. She fell a few feet away from him.

"Yoshio? Why-"

"Don't you dare say my name you bitch!" He yelled. His silver hair covered his eyes but his tattoo's on his arms began to glow a bright red. Kagome looked at him in shock. Inuyasha stepped forward but Kagome held out her hand to tell him to stay back

Yoshio lifted his eyes. They glowed a bright demonic red. His fangs were barred as he glared at Kagome. He walked forward and grabbed the front of her kimono and lifted her off the ground.

"That was your plan, wasn't it? To get me to trust you then the moment I trust you enough to tell you my past you try and kill me. You're just like her."

"Yoshio, please! I didn't do anything! I would never hurt you! You're my friend!" Kagome said as he held her in the air. His eyes flashed,

"Were you not the one who shot those arrows at me! Were you not the one who burned down my home! Were you not the one who tried to burn these children alive! Well were you!" He yelled as his grip changed from her kimono to her throat. Kagome winced.

"I would never do that to you!" Kagome whispered the best she possibly could. He glared at her.

"Don't fucking lie to me!" he through her to the side with all his might. The children winced as she hit the ground. She sat up slowly as Yoshio walked toward her with his sword in his hand. Inuyasha snapped and ran forward.

"Don't you dare!" Inuyasha yelled as he pulled out his sword. Yoshio turned to him.

"Silence!" he yelled as roots shot up from the ground and wrapped themselves around Inuyasha and the others tightly. Yoshio turned back to Kagome.

"For your betrayal you must die." He whispered as he lifted his sword above his head to strike her. Kagome looked up in fear. He looked at her fear stricken face as smirked. Kagome's eye widened as she looked into his glowing red eyes.

'This isn't Yoshio. This…monster is not him. The Yoshio I saw those days had red eyes that I could see his every emotion, but this Yoshio has hate filled eyes.' Kagome looked at his arms were glowing also. She gasped as she figured it all out.

"Good bye, Kagome!" He cried as he was about to swing down the sword. Kagome squeezed her eyes shut.

"Kagome!" Inuyasha cried out in fear.

Kagome clenched her fists and shut her eyes. Tears were coming down her cheeks as the blade came closer.

"I-In a perfect w-world,

"One we've n-never known,"

Kagome's whispered voice came to Yoshio's ears Inuyasha's eyes widened as the blade stopped in mid swing,

"We would never need

To world alone

They can have world

We'll create our own…"

Everything seemed to freeze as they all listened to Kagome sing softly in fear. Her eyes were still shut tight. Yoshio looked at her with eyes wide. She lifted her head to him with tear's running down her face,

"I may not be brave or strong or smart

But I know somewhere in my secret heart,

I know, love will find a way.

Anywhere I go,

I'm home

If you are there beside me."

Yoshio began to back up slowly looking at Kagome in shock. He dropped his sword as his tattoos that were once glowing began to fade.

"Like dark turning into day

Some how we'll come through,"

Yoshio's glowing eye turned back as he fell to his knees a few feet away from Kagome. The roots disincarnated and released Inuyasha and the others.

"Now that I've found you,

Love will find a way…"

Kagome smiled and looked at Yoshio's face. He looked at her as tear fell from his eyes. Kagome got up and walked over to him and hugged him. He cried in the crook of her neck.

"Kagome why? Why did you betray me?" He said. Kagome rubbed his back lovingly.

"I didn't Yoshio. You're my friend I would never do anything like that to you. Before when you were going to kill me, you were like that when you killed all those women weren't you?" Kagome asked soothingly.

"Yes…my anger takes control of my power and I am unable to stop it." He wrapped his strong arms around her, clinging to her shirt like a small child.

Inuyasha and the others watched with sympathy. Inuyasha was amazed at Kagome's braveness and kindness toward this demon who tried to kill her. But that's how Kagome is, and that's why…

'..That's why I fell in love with the silly girl…'

Inuyasha's ears picked up a sound. It was the sound of a bow…being released. Inuyasha's eyes went wide as he realized their target.

"Look out!" Inuyasha yelled to them.

Then everything seemed to be going in slow motion. The arrow pierced Yoshio in the back…but it was no ordinary arrow. No it was a sacred arrow. Kagome looked from where the arrow came from.

"Kikyo?" Inuyasha said in disbelief. But then noticed someone who looked like Kagome next to her, Yoshio turned and saw the other Kagome. She chuckled and shape shifted into a man.

"Nice work, Kikyo." Naraku said as they stepped into the clearing…
