11 Years Later…
Ring…
Ring…
Ring…
"Hello – Lucy Speaking,"
"Hello Lucy…"
"AH! Uhm-uh General Sir, I-I-I I'm sorry I kept you waiting…"
"How's our little girl…"
"Uhm she's fine she's sleeping right now…"
"Good… Does she look ready?"
"Uhm what do you mean sir?"
"READY! Does she look READY to face them!"
"Uhm! Yes sir! She's fit and no leakages for a good 11 years,"
"Good prepare her then…"
".. What Sir?"
"Did I stutter… PREPARE HER FOR TOP SIDE!"
Beep… Beep… Beep…
Lucy stared at the receiver… Kagome …. Go top side? She-she was still too young, she was only 16! And she had to go top side? It was suicide… but that was what she was meant for. Lucy gripped it tightly as she felt a stab of guilt, she played a part in this – she played a part in this girl's death now.

Lucy stepped into the Dark room, her finger tips fumbling with the light switch somewhere around here, she finally found the switch and flicked it on, immediately pink sheet were yanked over a females form as a groan escaped the form. Lucy sighed as she clenched her jaw and fist, she wouldn't shed a tear… She walked slowly towards the form, as she stood at the end of the bed; she gripped the pink sheets and yanked them off, a yelp echoing from the form. It was a girl – a teenage girl, her long raven locks draped down towards her back, her eyes tightly shut as her long shapely legs pulled up against her backside, her hands clenching against her chest, her skin looked so smooth, her body so fragile and perfect, she slowly opened her eyes, her eyes looked like the grey sky before it rained with a hint of blue in them, her pajamas ruffled as she sat up, her silky locks falling around her as she rubbed her eyes with the palms of her hand, a yawn escaping her lips as she dropped her hands to the side of her, bracing her form up to stare at Lucy.
"Kagome I need you to get ready," Lucy said smiling to her. Kagome tilted her head oddly as she yawned once more, her eyes closing slightly as she let out a groan, looking around for her alarm clock in the white room.
"For what Nana…" she asked tiredly, even after 11 years she still called Lucy – Nana, since she never really had a mother, nor a guardian other than Lucy. Kagome swung her legs over edge of her small bed and pushed herself to her feet, padding them against the ground as she walked towards her small desk, pilled with papers and text books along with a computer, she pulled the chair out and sat down in it, leaning forward she turned on her lap top and waited for it to boot up.
Lucy felt her body start to tremble as she gulped down the words of truth in her throat, what was she supposed to say 'Well Kagome, you about to pulled out of your safety zone and dropped into a war between the humans and the demons' not fucking likely. Lucy pulled her hands to her face as she tried to think of a believe-able lie, but nothing was coming to her, until she thought of Kagome's one wish… to go to School with the others. She couldn't believe she was playing this game; she was sure that after this she was going to resign her position. She pulled her head up, trying to hide the sadness from Kagome as she walked towards her.
"Because… Your Uncle has gotten you a spot on hold at the Notre Dame High School…" she said happily to Kagome.
Uncle was Kagomes' term for the General he bought her all of the essential needs a teenaged girl would need and he said that he was close to her mother, so she thought of him as her uncle.
Kagome was in the middle of typing when her key strikes ceased, she turned her head as her face was filled with unbelief, she was actually going to a real high school! Kagome launched herself from her chair and gripped onto Lucy as tears fell from Kagome's eyes she was so happy, she spent to many years in solitude, only person that came to her was Lucy and the doctors, finally a real life, her only out look in the world was the internet, but she couldn't seem to get a hold of anyone, they spoke of curf-views and all sites to talk about local and international news was blocked from her access… kind of odd. But she didn't care much, she got to go to school with others! Kagome pulled away from Lucy, she had a jump in her step as she looked around her room.
"Uh-huhm-uh! I-I-I-ll get ready! Like right now! Oh tell Uncle I said THANK YOU!" she said happily as she raced towards her dresser as Lucy gripped her clip board. She nodded as tears threatened to fall from her face.
"Okay Kagome… I'll be back in 20 minutes to get you…" she said plastering on a fake smile and walking out of Kagome's room, closing the door tightly behind her. She'd grown attached to the young girl, watching her grow up, Kagome was like her own daughter. She hunched her back a bit as tears began to fall down her cheeks. She let out a scream and threw her clip board down the hall as she threw herself against the wall smashing her fist repeatedly against it.
"FUCK! FUCK FUCK FUCK!" she screamed as sobs came out with her words, she continued to smash her fist against the wall as she dropped to her knees sobbing. She gulped and reached down into her blouse to pull out a rosary she'd gotten when in America, she was born there her mother Japanese, so she came down here to see her mother and took up a homestead here, but she kept her faith of being Catholic. She held the cross in between her hands as tears dripped onto the silver beads.
"Our Father who art in heaven… "

Kagome walked with Lucy out of room. Lucy had given her a school uniform, a green skirt, which was fairly high against her thigh, the blouse had a green trim around neck and a little sash going through a part on the front, the short sleeves cutting off against her shoulders, her black dress shoes clicked off the ground as she held her knap sack, and in her hand was a small cross bow, for an odd reason Lucy told her to carry it just incase. Kagome watched the rooms go by her view, people having lectures, showing them what looked to be biology, the corridor looking as if it would never end with doors and windows into the rooms, animals inside walking around in circles, caged and hating it, one room had what looked like a body underneath a white sheet, causing her to gasp and cover her eyes. Kagome kept walking down the corridor as it just stopped, with two large bulk head doors. Lucy walked towards them and pulled her I.D card down and swiped it punching in a bunch of numbers, Kagome tried to get a look but couldn't exactly see what the code was, the sound of pressure escaping through the pin holes could be heard as they creaked open slowly to reveal a woman, her long blond hair pulled up into a high bun, her face cream colored, her clothes black and what looked to be body armor coated, as it shined into Kagome's eyes, a large gun held in her hands as she tapped her foot as if waiting for Kagome to hurry up. Kagome when to speak as Lucy walked towards Kagome and hugged her tightly, pulling her close.
"When you get to the school – run down into the janitors room, their should be a computer, barricade yourself in the room and send yourself an e-mail I'll receive it and I'll come and get you Kagome… I swear" she said whispering it into her ear. Lucy pulled back leaving Kagome confused.
"Come on girl! I ain't got all day," she yelled to Lucy and Kagome. Lucy inhaled deeply as she grabbed Kagome wrist and pulled her towards the woman, tears threatening to escape her eyes as Kagome saw the black hummer behind the woman. The door opened as two men coated in the same outfit as the woman held the door open for Kagome, their faces monotone. Kagome turned her head around towards Lucy who nodded, Kagome turned her head back and gulped walking towards the car, why did she need this much protection and what was Lucy talking about, thoughts rushing through her head as she stepped into the car. The woman turned her head looking at Lucy,
"Long time no see…" she said with a bit of a chew like she was chewing bubble gum. Lucy pulled her head up to glare at her.
"Fuck you Katherine… you're driving that girl to her death," she said sternly almost screaming at her. Katherine continued to chew her gum as she looked back at the vehicle, then to Katherine.
"I'm just driving her, you and your little pals are the ones that stuck that thing inside of her that is going to kill her soon, my hells gonna be a little less painful – what about yours?" she said with a smirk as she walked towards the vehicle, pulling open the driver seats door, she looked back at Lucy, a bit of sympathy coming to her face.
"I'm sorry for you Lucy… I honestly am for you…" she said softly as her form disappeared in the truck, sirens echoing out as Lucy stepped away from the plat form she was standing on, the sounds of cranks and gears could be heard as it jolted up and slowly pushed up towards the surface... to Demons Land.

Kagome watched as something she never saw came into her view, sunlight over the horizon, it was a sting to her eyes as she saw it, a bright pain but a beautiful one at that, she felt something touching her hand as she looked down, the man next to her was handing her a pair of sunglasses, his expression not changing, she gave a sweet smile to him as she pulled the glasses over her face, and leaned forward to press her hands against the glass, she stared at her surroundings amazed by it, she gave a sigh at the sight.
Large trees hanging over, the leaves blowing softly in the breeze, the leaves of Willow trees brushing over the roof of the hummer, flowers coating the surrounding as grass plains blew from side to side with the wind breeze the sun baring down onto ground, the clouds dropping off into the distance with the sun as if it was fallowing it. The hummer rocked back and forth with the feel and of the dirt paths. Kagome was amazed by her sight, she loved it – she wished that she could spend her life up here, not return to that room, it was so bright with no emotion, but this – out here it was beautiful it was moving, it had emotion in the sky and the plants. She watched as they drove into what looked like an old city, the building broken and vines growing through them, animals running through the windows and holes, chunks taken out of the surrounding area.
The people in the car with her seemed to be a bit edgy with the surroundings; they cocked back the trigger on their guns and looked around as if they were watching for something. Kagome felt a bit uneasy as she saw that they were coming up on one building, the place looked like a wreck, the foundation almost cracking under the weight, writing all over it as what looked to be blood spatters across the edges, vines growing through the smashed windows and a tree cracked through the steps and growing there with the soil underneath. Kagome read the sign, it said… Notre Dame High School. She stared oddly at it, this was the school that her uncle had gotten her into, what?
Kagome turned her head to see the driver stop the car, he panted and looked cautiously around him before turning to Katherine, he nodded his hand and waved his hand. The door to Kagome's side flung open, Katherine stood beside the door smirking.
"Your stop little lady…" she said with a smirk. Kagome's hands pulled away from her seat belt as she looked up at the building… it couldn't be, she looked back down at Katherine and gulped, who turned her head back towards the building.
"I know it doesn't look like much, but the inside is much better, this is just like a disgues it's a very private school only the best can get in," she said with a bit of a laugh, she extended her hand out Kagome with a sincere smile.
"Come on…" she said softly.
Kagome gulped and un-did her seat belt, she took Katherine's hand and pulled herself out of the hummer. She stumbled to a stop out of the hummer as Katherine motioned for her move forward towards the school. Kagome gave a nervous wave as she stepped up towards the school taking a few steps at a time and looking back towards the hummer, a worry falling over her as Katherine pulled herself back into the hummer and sped it off. Kagome turned her head towards the building with a gulp as she step up more towards the building. Unaware of the low hissing sound coming from the tree over top, siliva dripped from the branches as a clawed hand dropped firmly onto the branch, as it sniffed the air, yellow eyes beaming out into the sunlight towards Kagome as a smile incased its lips…

Katherine sighed as she rested her head against the head rest, rolling her head back and forth as a laugh spilled from her lips, her comrades staring at her like she was insane, she stared at them motioning for them to join her and soon they joined her, everyone breaking into fits of laughter until the driver smashed on the breaks, jolting everyone forward, Katherine smashing her head off the barrel of her gun causing her to bleed from the skull, she pulled her weary head up with the groan shoving the driver in the shoulder.
"WHAT THE FUCK!" she screamed at him. He held his gaze at what was in front of the hummer. Katherine turned her head slightly scared to see what was in front of her as she gripped her gun tighter. In front of them stood what looked to be a woman, her long brown locks where pulled into a tight pony tail, her head lowered with her bangs fallen in front of her eyes, her body suit was old armor not really anything bullet proof on it, a glossy finish it had, leather to be more accurate, pink plates around her waist and on the padding, in her grasp was a large cream colored boomerang A/N: guess who.. .
Katherine swore multiple times as she thought for a moment, unsure what to do but then thought maybe talking to her. Katherine rolled down the window as she stuck her head out it. She gave a nervous call out to the girl.
"Something the matter…" she said with a gulp, she knew who she was, it was one of the Rebels, next to the Demons they were just as bad, they hated those who pulled themselves underground, how humans relinquish the title they had over the Earth. They also hated how the humans had begun to handle things, using Kamikazes, Chemical Warfare and Nukes. They cursed our for-fathers for doing this to us; they were the force beating back the demons on the land, the only humans keeping them from taking complete control over Earth.
The girl raised her head slightly, her brown eyes glaring towards them, as if she was planning to rip apart everyone in that truck.
"What business do you have on the land – if I'm not mistaken you ran from here long ago… why are you back," she asked sternly, her grip tightening on the boomerang. Katherine gulped once more as she looked back at her comrades what was she supposed to say, she turned her head back towards the woman and stumbled over her tongue.
"Well you see we're- it's a funny story really-we're-"
"WHAT BUSINESS DO YOU HAVE HERE!" the woman screamed at them with a threatening voice, Katherine cocked back her weapon as she jolted back against her voice. She was stunned and felt the urge to submit to her.
"We were sent up top to deliver a package towards the Notre Dame High School…" she said quickly and most frightened actually. The woman smirked.
"That wasn't so hard now was it?" she asked softly. Katherine looked towards the driver as she looked back at the woman, whose grip tightened on the boomerang,
"Any last words?" she asked her. Katherine saw as she went to swing the heavy weapon over her shoulder.
"DRIVE!" Katherine screamed, the sound of glass breaking and a sickening squish along with the denting of metal was all that could be heard as the crows flew off squawking.
The woman reached her hand out to grab the boomerang as it came at her, she was forced back a bit but stopped her from sliding to far, she pulled herself to stand up straight, blood dripping from the edge of her boomerang, she stared at the hummer, the top of it sliced off… along with everyone inside its head which rolled to the ground around the hummer. The woman pulled her hand up slightly, pressing a small button which was connect to the microphone,
"Notre Dame High School… the package was dropped off there Miroku…" she said softly. A cracking sound echoed out softly as it cleared up, a husky male voice heard over it.
"Roger that Sango, I'll meet you there, I promise I won't start without you," the voice said with a bit of a laugh. Sango growled lowly as she pressed the button again.
"You better not Houshi!" she screamed into the phone as she clicked it off and raised her brown eyes to the tree lining and towards what looked to be the school, she gave a soft smirk before she walked past the hummer and heading towards … Kagome.
