Disclaimer: Nothing belongs to me...maybe...at least, not yet.

I decided since my reviewers have been so good, I decided to put up two chapters. Also, I hate this stupid thing where I try to put in symbols and it is all perfect until I submit it. Then there are spelling mistakes and all that stuff...And I'm just too lazy to fix it. At least it's there...

...sorry...

Where we last left off:

"Well, guess what," I countered, "this is my soul, not yours. You're nothing but a corspe now. You're not even worth my time. I could've killed you all this time, but I decided to humor you, to let you think that you were in control. And my daughter is more of a human than you ever will be."

"You know what, Kikyo," I continued, "You two deserve each other. Inuyasha, sorry but you were never meant for me. You were stupid into thinking that you could kill me and a fool to be manipulated by Kikyo."

I turned and walked off, to find my daughter. Kurama followed me.

"This is not over," Kikyo shouted.

and now...on with the story.

Note:

iiiiii are thoughts.
uuuuuu is Yoko talking to Kurama and Kagome
+llllll+ is Kurama talking to Yoko and Kagome
-aaaaa- is Kagome talking to Yoko and Kurama.


You did real good, kitten Yoko praised as we went to find Meilin.

Kurama used one of his flowers to make a paste to put on my bruise.

-That doesn't help me now.- I hissed in pain.

Who's that with Meilin+ Kurama asked.

I glanced and saw Sesshomaru, Inuyasha's brother, with his toad servant, Jaken, and his young human friend, Rin.

"Who is this girl?" he asked.

"My daughter," I replied, "I'm sure you know by now that she is your niece."

"You mated with Inuyasha?" he asked.

"Long time ago," I explained, "it was a mistake and will never happen again. My daughter is my pride and joy, although I'm not speaking with your brother."

"And what did my brother do to you now?" he asked, no expression on his face. I didn't answer.

"Meilin," I said, "this is your uncle Sesshomaru, Jaken, and Rin." She looked up at Sesshomaru.

"He's so big, mommy," she said in awe, "he's nothing like daddy and that dead lady."

"Since my brother obviously has done something stupid, yet again," Sesshomaru stated, "I wish to extend the family's protection to you, your daughter, and the kitsune."

I nodded, grateful that at least one of the dog demons was smart. "Thank you, Sesshomaru, big brother of mine," I bowed. He nodded and with one last glance at Kurama left, Rin and Jaken on Ah-Uhn. note: is that how u spell it?

"Not very talkative, is he?" Kurama asked, trying to lighten my mood.

"Never was. Let's go back home," I sighed. We said our goodbyes to everyone, then we headed back to the well.

What a day.

What's wrong+ Kurama asked.

-Nothing- I replied.

Liar Yoko responded We know you well enough by now, kitten, to know when something is wrong. Tell us.

-How about...- I started...I picked up Meilin.

"Not!" smiling as I ran to the well.

Meilin screamed in joy as I raced to the well, Kurama following behind me. He tackled me and Meilin once we made it to the well. We toppled over and rolled on the ground, laughing.

I stood up and stared at the tree. The tree where my adventure began...where I met Inuyasha.

"You sure that you are alright?" Kurama asked, concern in his voice. Meilin looked up at me with worry.

"I'll be fine," I replied. I picked up Meilin and we jumped down the well.


After dropping Meilin off at home, we met up with Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Hiei. Yusuke is engaged to Kayko.

Kazuma Kuwabara is trying to get together with Hiei's sister, Yukina. Yukina decided to give him a chance.

Hiei, on the other hand, is not totally ok with Yukina and Kuwabara. I told him to tell her that he is her brother but he still hasn't done so.

"The toddler wishes to see us," Yusuke grumbled. Botan was there, so she opened a portal for us.

"What do you want this time? We don't work for you anymore, remember?" Yusuke glared at Koenma. Obviously, he was missing a date with Keiko.

"Sit down," Koenma ordered. We all sat down and looked at the screen.

"Here is Naraku," Koenma explained as Naraku's picture came on the screen.

"But I thought he was dead," I said, not believing this.

"Turns out he survived somehow," Koenma explained, "he is a lot stronger than before, with a new source of power. He seems bent on revenge from you, Kagome."

"Why is that, Koenma?" Kurama inquired.

"Because I killed him, all those years ago," I answered.

"He is located in the city as we speak," Koenma stated, "he seems to be heading to your place, Kagome."

I gasped...He couldn't...He wouldn't...

"Meilin!" I cried, running out of the room. I found Botan.

"Open a portal to my house," I commanded.

"Why are you leaving so fast?" she asked.

"Open a portal, please," I repeated, "my daughter is in danger. Your stupid boss decided to call me at a time like this! Now hurry up and do it!"

Quickly, she opened a portal, and I jumped in.


I ran up the stairs to my house. I quickly scanned the area for my family.

"Mom?" I called, "Grandpa? Souta? Meilin?"

I ran inside the house and screamed.

There was blood everywhere. I found my mother, with her head cut off, and body chopped into pieces. My grandfather was beside her, a gaping hole in his stomach, blood everywhere.

I ran upstairs and found my brother, pinned against the wall, as lifeless as the other two. On the wall was a message:

"My dear Miko,
I'm sure by now you have found my presents all over the place. I still have your daughter. I can kill her just as
easily as I killed your family. Return to me what is mine, and I will return her to you. If not...let's just say that
she will not like the consequences. You will find me in Makai. Look long and hard...Or Else!"

I fell to the floor...sobbing uncontrollably...

"How...how could he do this?" I sobbed.

It was all my fault. I should've been there, to protect them, not on one of Koenma's escapades. I should've made sure that Naraku was dead. I failed them. I failed everyone.

I took my brother down from the wall. I held his lifeless body in my arms and cried.

"Souta!" I sobbed, "Mom! Grandpa!"

Kurama entered the room. He wrapped his arms around me and held me as I cried.

"Kagome," he whispered. Hiei, Yusuke, and Kuwabara entered the room.

"He killed them...all of them..." I whispered.

"What about Meilin?" he asked. I pointed to the wall, where the note was written, in Souta's blood.

"He killed them..." I repeated.

"We can still save Meilin," Kurama said.

I shook my head. I couldn't let them get hurt.

"Go get Inuyasha, Kurama," I said, "please." He nodded and left quickly.

I got up and walked to the window.

"Where are you going?" Yusuke asked.

"Where else?" I snapped, "to get my daughter back!" I jumped on the ledge.

"Not without us, you're not," Hiei answered.

"Too bad," I shot back, "because I didn't invite you." I used my powers to transport me to Makai.


And that's that chapter...What's gonna happen?Here's a little preview.

"You will pay, Naraku!" I cried, "You will pay!"

"Do you think that I would let my daughter do that to me?" he roared.

I froze...what is he talking about?

"No...it can't be..." I whispered...

More soon...Chi
