Only one more chappie after this!

Kagome stood there, stunned. Keiji had been Shippo's father all this time. How could she never think that? And Mura, evil at heart. Keiji may have been a demon, but he had a kind soul. What about all the tasks? Were they all pointless? No, she told herself. I had to prove myself to Keiji.

What about Shippo's mother? She would probably be in Serenity. Keiji would be in heaven and Shippo would be in earth. It was such a horrible way to be split up. But no matter what, they were still in love with each other and proud of their son.

"Wench!"

For a moment Kagome thought is was Inuyasha's voice calling her, but it didn't take but a moment to realize she was wrong. In a flash Mura was standing so close to her she could feel a strand of hair brush against her face.

"What do you want Mura?" she asked in the cool tone Keiji used. "You wench," she growled threw her fangs. Her fists were clinched, her muscles tense. "You ruined everything! I could have lived as an angel for the rest of my life! But you- you had to mess it all up!" she snapped. "Mura you brought this upon yourself. You could have let me off the hook. It didn't have to be this way," Kagome said, turning to walk away.

"Don't you turn your back on me!" Mura yelled and slashed Kagome's back with her claws. Kagome didn't scream, fall. Her face remained normal. She even started to laugh quietly. "Mura you ruined my life, it was only fair to ruin yours. Now if you could keep your temper down so that I may leave. I know what you really are. Scared, nervous maybe. Obviously you have no clan to go back to, other wise you would not be here right now. You are alone, as am I."

Mura's growling grew louder. "Go ahead, kill me. But what would that do for you? I would be defenseless, it would not be a fair fight. Besides that would only make you more alone." "Shut your mouth mortal!" she spat. "Already talking the demon you are." Mura roared and punched the tree, cracking it in half. "Letting loose anger. Can't even stay calm."

Mura growled again, but then relaxed. "You think you're so smart, huh?" he asked in a nasty tone. "No," said Kagome. "But I have a fox kit to see now. He needs me, maybe that's all I have to live for." Mura's expression calmed. "You are an odd human," she grunted. "Maybe," sighed Kagome.

"I'm glad to gear all the bear attacks have finally stopped."

Sango smiled as they walked along the forest path. "But we never found why. Still the villagers can be at peace once again." Shippo nodded in agreement. "Can we search for Kagome now?" he asked quietly. "Of course we will."

"A demon, a monk, a hanyou, a demon slayer, and then there's you?" "Exactly."

Mura and Kagome walked along threw the bright forest. Birds chirped in the distance, the shuffle of animals was all around. They had no idea where they were going, but they headed out anyway. Hoping to bump into the old gang.

"I only lived with my clan," she sighed. "What happened?" asked Kagome. "They were slaughtered by stupid humans. I became an angel so that I could be at peace, I should have know that it would not have lasted." "So you targeted me?" Mura nodded. "You were the purest person around, I was determined to make my thoughts real. All humans were blood thirsty, stupid, and cruel. You weren't like that. You had to be eliminated." "We're not all like that. Just like not all demons are evil."

"I know," Mura said. There was a long moments pause. "What's wrong?" asked Kagome. "Have you ever been alone before? You are so loved, even when you are alone you still are kind. How do you do it? Keep from going insane? Not only, but this is all my fault. I had a great life, you had a great life. Now it's all gone and it's all because of me." She wiped away some silent tears. "I forgive you," Kagome said.

"It's not about forgiving and forgetting. It doesn't work that way this time. Every step you take reminds you of what I did, you can't forget." "That doesn't mean that I don't forgive you Mura!" she yelled. "Sometimes life is tough, so what? You deal with it and move on. You're acting like a, like a human!" "Sorry," she mumbled.

"Are you going to let me stay with you then?" she dared to ask. "Mura I don't think that would work out. But I do have a place that would be perfect for you. You need to be with a clan, I don't know a bear clan. But I do know a wolf clan." "Wolf?" she echoed. "Just beyond these mountains. I"ll lead you there, but then I really must get back to. . . . .to someone. I need to ask something from him."

"Oh, well that's ok. Right?" "Right!" she smiled.

What day was it? Day six, seven? Who knows. Mura, gone. The wolf tribe gladdly accepted her, especially since she asked Koga as a favor. Besides they were running short on members. Sango, Miroku, and Shippo- no idea. They could be anywhere at this point. Inuyasha? That is a whole other story. She could have searched the entire earth twice and still not find him.

She was utterly alone.

Depressing, no? I kinda thought so. Ya'll are just waiting for this whole thing to end. I know it. I can sense it. You probably won't even review, thinking that the next chapter wil be there tomorrow. Well let me tell you, it won't. For many reasons.

One- No one ever reviews, so there for I don't feel like it.

Two- I'm having company over, I could probably fit time in, but hey. I don't want to read this. You do. Or that's what I think.

Three- I'm still planning the ending, trust me it's not what you think it will be.

Four- well honestly there is no fourth reason. I'm happy that you scrolled all the way down here though. I feel important.

Five- obviously we covered that there is no fourth reason, so there is no fifth one. But this is fun anyway. Unless you want me to keep doing this, REVIEW!

Si- just kidding (about the six thing, not the review thing)
