Seeing as she could not go home nor live in the village due to Inuyasha destroying everything and killing all those she loved, she walked into the forest without looking back. Each step she took leading away from the destroyed village and out into the forest with tears streaming down her cheeks. While she traveled all day stopping here or there to rest. As night came upon the land Kagome stopped and sat by a tree and fell asleep. When dreams started to come to her of her dead friends she woke up and welcomed the morning as the sun started to come over the distant mountains. She carried on through the forest and stopped here and there to eat wild berries then continued on. By mid-day she came upon a lake. She walked to the edge of the lake and looked around to see what she could see.

"I will stay here. I've got to figure out how I am going to hunt since I have no bow, sword, or any weapon." Memory of Kaede telling her how to look for vegetation that was able to be eaten. As she sat there eating what she managed to find close by she sat there holding the talisman. "What am I going to do? Where am I going to go?" She asked out loud to herself. As the day turned to evening she once again managed to fine something to eat then laid down to sleep.

As pre-dawn rolled around somewhere else in the land three people traveled in silence accept for a small growling stomach. he owner of the growling stomach continued walking.

"Rin if you're hungry then seek to nourish yourself."

"Yes M'lord." Rin ran passed Sesshoumaru to find something that she might be able to eat.

Meanwhile back at the lake Kagome woke up to the sound of something coming towards her. As the sound got closer not only was there something in the bushes in front of her but also in the bushes on both sides of her as well. The sound got louder and was accompanied now with growling as a black wolf came out of the bush in front of her baring it's fangs. She looked around to find something to defend herself with. The only thing she saw was a medium size rock. It would not be much help, as well as not knowing how many wolves their were in the bushes around her. All she knew is that these wolves were not Kouga's wolves. The black wolf advanced forward towards her so making the decision to reach for the rock. She moved towards it. While doing so she felt a sharp pain go through her when the black wolf rushed at her and sank his teeth into her flesh just below her breast on her left side. She screamed in pain as the wolf closed it's mouth even harder to bring her down. Another wolf came out of the bushes at the smell of blood. The black wolf released her and turned to face the other wolf who came out of the bush. With the black wolf's attention now distracted Kagome pulled herself to her feet in pain as well as bleeding heavily and slowly tried to ease herself away from the area and not draw attention back onto herself as she moved. She got away but as she walked the sound of something following her could be heard so she picked up her pace and in doing so tripped and fell. When she looked up she was surrounded once again by hungry growling wolves.

Meanwhile back with Rin as she walked around the forest looking for something to eat. She had spotted some berries bushes that were plump with berries. She ate until she had her fill of berries then walked farther to se what else she could find. Carrying on Rin walked through some bushes and came upon the pack of wolves. Seeing them she backed up and screamed. Some of the wolves followed her as she backed up.

YELP

The sound of yelping was heard then the sight of dead wolves lay littering the ground in pools of their own blood. Rin looked up and saw Sesshoumaru standing there.

"Thank you M'lord." Rin voiced. "There's more in there growling and fighting over something."

"Rin come we leave now." Sesshoumaru turned to leave but then caught the scent of blood...Human blood. More over the smell was that of the strangely dressed girl that traveled with his lowly half brother. "Jaken stay and watch Rin." Then he headed the way his ward pointed in. True to his ward's words the wolves were fighting over something. As he advanced upon them, they turned and growled at him but stepped away as he continued forward. When he reached the black wolf, the black beast growled a challenge then ran towards Sesshoumaru. He stood there in his icy emotionless self and waited for the wolf to come closer then he flicked his wrist and the wolf was no more. On silent feet he walked forward to see why the smell of the strange girl's blood could be smelt. He came upon Kagome laying on the ground. He just stood there looking down at her form. Then he felt a tug on his sleeve.

"Look M'lord. There's someone there." Jaken walked over and poked Kagome with the staff of two heads.

"It is the oddly dressed wench that travels with Inuyasha." Jaken watched as Sesshoumaru walked closer and knelt down turning Kagome over onto her back. They saw that her white and green shirt was covered in red and was tore on her left side.

"Will she be alright?" Rin asked. Sesshoumaru did not say anything for he knew she was in bad shape. He scanned around the area with his senses and could not pick up the scent of his lowly half brother not the group that he knew that this girl traveled with.

"Jaken prepare a fire. This night we stay here." While the green imp was gone, he reached down though he liked it not he used his claws and cut a good portion of the bloody shirt away to reveal the damage.

"She's hurt bad. Will M'lord make her better?" Rin stood there looking down at Kagome.

"Rin help Jaken." Rin walked away he stood up placing his hand on tensaiga and drew the sword. When he withdrew tensaiga he stood there void of any emotion as is normal for him to do. He swung the sword in a crescent moon fashion over Kagome. As the blue glow around the sword faded he returned tensaiga to it's sheath. In a matter of minutes Sesshoumaru watched as the wound closed up. Turning he walked away and sat across the little campsite from her. As the day was drawing to a close as night came upon the land Sesshoumaru ordered Jaken to help Rin to find sufficient food for herself as well as for Kagome. Rin came back carrying fish while Jaken returned all wet. As the fish finished cooking a moan sounded from over by Kagome as she started to wake up. "Jaken give the girl the fish."

"But M'lord."

"I'll do it." Rin picked up a stick that had a cooked fish on it and took it over to Kagome. "Ah, here this will be good for you." Rin spoke as she held out the stick with the fish on it towards Kagome.

"Hmm." Kagome rubbed her eyes and sat up. "Oh thank you. Do you live out here all alone? Where's your family?" She looked around and caught the sight of silverish-white then something next to the Silverish-white that was dressed in a brown outfit. "SESSHOUMARU" Then she looked back at the little girl. "Your that little girl who was on that two headed thing holding tetsusaiga." She then looked at the fish the girl held out to her but did not move to take it from the girl. So Rin laid the fish down on Kagome's lap and walked back and sat by the fire.

"Why are you not with the half breed and your group?" Sesshoumaru looked her way. Kagome just sat there not saving anything.

"You dare not answer Sesshomaru-sama?" Jaken said shaking the staff of two heads at Kagome.

"My friends are dead as well as all of the village has been killed except a few women and children." Kagome went into telling what happened.

Flashback

"Finally we have destroyed Naraku and have revenged the deaths of all who have died because of Naraku. Now my little brother can rest in piece." Sango stated with tears.

"Yes and the curse has once and for all has ended." Miroku removed the prayer beads from his hand.

"What are you going to do Kagome?" Shippou asked as he sat on Kilala. The others looked at Kagome as she stood looking out over the field were Inuyasha was knelt down by the body of Kikyou. Then they watched as Kagome walked slowly over to where Inuyasha was. They followed Kagome but stopped within hearing range.

"Inuyasha do you still desire to be a full blooded youkai?" Kagome asked. Inuyasha slightly look at her.

"Can't you see I am busy! Why ask that at this point." He picked Kikyou's lifeless body up and leaned her head against his chest as he buried his face in her hair. Kagome breathed deep and let it out. Knowing that she would never be in Inuyasha's heart like Kikyou, she opened up her hand and looked down at the jewel and closed her eyes then opened them once more.

"Alright Inuyasha. I make this wish for you to show you how much I love you and how much you mean to me. I wish Kikyou to live once again and I wish the both of you a blessed life." Inuyasha's ears twitched as he slightly listened to Kagome speak. After she made the wish the jewel started to shine brightly and floated up into the sky and disappeared. A light shown around Kikyou then died down. A few seconds later Kikyou sat up as Kagome walked away.

"Poor Kagome." Shippou spoke as the group walked over to Kagome.

"Sango could you take me back to Kaede's?"

"Sure Kagome." Everyone climbed onto Kilala.

"Hey Inuyasha we are heading to Kaede's." Shippou yelled to Inuyasha as Kilala lifted to the sky. Some how by the time they got to the hut and Kagome leaving her bow and arrows at the hut and replacing them with fresh clothes and bathing things and headed to the pond that had a stream going into it to bath, Kikyou was shot and killed by a arrow in Inuyasha's arms. Unaware of this Kagome was in the stream and swimming trying to relax and bath. While she was doing so she did not know a pissed off hanyou was heading towards her until he landed on the edge of the pond close to were she was.

"YOU FUCKING BITCH! You will know and feel what pain feels like, To see the one's you love hurt or killed by someone that you know!" With that Inuyasha disappeared with Kikyou's body in his arms.

"What did he mean by that? What did I do other then wish upon the jewel to bring Kikyou back to the living for him. What does he mean? Did he think I killed Kikyou? I'll head to Kaede's after I finish my bath." About ten minutes later Kagome was walking back to the village as she neared the village she heard screaming so she ran towards the village faster. When Kagome arrived at the village the sight she saw shocked her. First she saw the buildings destroyed and dead bodies all around except a few women and children. Then she saw Kikyou's body against Kaede's hut, but that was not what caught her eyes, but the sight of alot of blood all over did. Where or what did all this blood come from? For there was blood everywhere. She looked around and saw a trail of blood leading off towards the bone eater's well so she set her clothes down and followed the bloody trail. But what she saw at the end of the trail was Inuyasha with blood staining the firerat kimono as well as blood in his hair and dripping off his hands. "Inuyasha where did all that blood come from?" She asked. But all he did was chuckle then stepped aside and when he did what she saw will forever haunt her memories. For there was the bodies of all of her beloved friends. Their bloody bodies in a pile at the foot of a huge boulder which was on a now smashed bone eaters well.

"Why Inuyasha? Why did you do this? What did I do?" She fell to her knees as Inuyasha chuckled and disappeared heading away from the destroyed village and the sacred tree back towards the last place she and her friends fought a battle together.

End Of Flashback

As she finished the haunting memory she looked towards Sesshoumaru. "Where is the half breed now?" Sesshoumaru asked as he made it look like he was looking at the flames of the fire but was looking at her.

"I am unsure. If I were to see him at anytime it would be to soon. I for one would love to see him pay dearly for him killing everyone that I held dear to me as my second family." Kagome pulled out the talisman from behind her shirt and started to fiddle with it. As the fire reflected off the talisman Sesshoumaru caught sight of it and the next minute Kagome found herself held against a tree.

"To where did you find this?"

"I'll tell you if you will let me go."

"You tell me then I will let go." He held her tight while she told him how she prayed looking up to the moon and how a man that looked like him came to her and handed her the talisman. "When I asked him what his name was he told me InuTaisho." She told Sesshoumaru and leaving out the part about what her and him did.

"You speak not the truth. For he is located in the spirit world."

"I can prove it. Let me go and I will prove it to you." She was held there a little longer before Sesshoumaru lowered her to the ground. She took ahold of the talisman and voiced the words. "I need you please." Then she placed the talisman back into her shirt. Sesshoumaru looked around and saw nothing then turned back to her.

"This one sees nothing." He reached out to grab her as the wind picked up then died down once more.

"Grab her not son." Came a voice from behind him. The owner of the voice watched as his son turned. "She speaks the truth about how she got the talisman. There is more to it though. She forgot to say she is with child."

"I care not to know the outcome of her and the hanyou."

"Speak not of your brother in such a way. No she being with child is not fathered by your half brother. It has been fathered by me. You need not worry about it taking control of that which you are full heir of. Though I as your father make a request of you son. Watch over her and the child making sure they remain safe."

"How be it you sired another. You are of the spirit world."

"I took form as I am now when she needed comfort from that which your brother done. This child will be your sibling as like Inuyasha it to you." InuTaisho watched as his son stood there not saying a word.

"He does not need to watch over me. I am able to take care of myself."

"That may be so, but once a village knows your with child by a youkai you and the child will be looked down upon. You will be treated the way Inuyasha's mother was. That of a outcast."

"Well Sesshoumaru and myself are not what you would call friends or allies. Sure we spoke here and there."

"They will be watched over." Sesshoumaru spoke. Then InuTaisho walked over to Kagome.

"You will be fine. My son be it the way he is will keep his word. I will come when you are in need." He kissed her on the forehead then faded out of sight.

"Why did you agree to watch over me and the unborn?"

"You went to my ward and protected her when the boy exterminator intended harm to her as well as protected her from Inuyasha when he intended to do harm when he had father's sword attached to his arm. You rest now, we travel at dawn."
