A/N: Sorry for the ridiculously long wait my peoples! There were things and then some stuff and then some incarceration time.

It was sunrise when the ragtag group of hostage and hostiles reached the miasma filled border of Naraku's barrier. Kagura touched the invisible wall with one finger to alert her master. The barrier then weakened beside her and she passed through. The oni and Kagome followed shortly after. The minute Kagome reached the other side of the barrier she felt drained. Instinctually she began to purify the miasma that surrounded her and threatened to kill her, this of course resulted in her being thrown to the ground by her captor. (What oni wishes for purification?) As she hit the ground, her head connected with the rocky terrain and Kagome fell unconscious.

When she awoke, Kagome was alone. She was surprised. There were no chains, no dripping water, no terrifying tourchor devices. There was simply a dresser, and the futon she laid on.

Kagome sat up and instantly regretted it. Her head felt like Shippo had clawed his way inside and was slowly kicking his way out. "What the hell?" she moaned. She gently rolled herself form the futon and crawled to the door at the foot of her bed. She attempted to turn the silver knob and was met with an instant lapse of strength. 'Smart bastered, using my own power against Me.' she had learned early on in her travels that her lack of formal training was going to cause problems. When Kagome was 15 she discovered that her powers were infact purely instinctual with out a conductor, like an arrow or dagger. With out such conductor her powers reacted on a subconscious level, meaning if she felt threatened her powers would attempt to remove hence threat.

The problem in which lies, Kagome is alone, Kagome is unarmed, Kagome is injured, Kagome feels threatened.
