The review from inuyasha-daioh, dude! ahahaha I totally thought that the dream was the real thing! I was like, 'wait...why is the font in uh italic..? ..pfft...whatever...' and then I was like, WHOAH! its so ironic that this chapter was all sad and stuff...especially, when you updated this os 6-6-06! when I was about to read it, I looked at the update date, and then I was all...'OH CRAP...' lol and besides, shouldn't sesshoumaru have been able to revive rin with his tenseiga? or is there some thing with being killed by a god
like nori, that you can uh never come back? eh? well, whatever.

It is true that if you are killed by a God you arent able to revive unless all the Gods give part of their power to the dead one...

Anyways i sorry my not updating faster but i've been working non stop at work and i was having some writers block with all my stories, anyways i will be leaving Canada for the summer, im going to Portugal and i hope that i will be able to update from their if not than when i get back i will have a few chapters for u all to read. hope you enjoying the story so far, well talk to you soon i'll be leaving on June the 23rd i hope to have some chapters before then NOW ON WITH THE STORY.


Chapter 7: Pain

Crystal was making breakfast, everyone were slowing waking up from their slumber. They all had eaten and were ready to head out, Sesshomaru and Crystal still haven't talked after their fight. Crystal knew what she had to do, so she walked up to Sesshomaru and told him that she wanted to speak with him in private. They walked away from the group, this was the hardest decision that Crystal was going to make.

"Sesshomaru, I want you to take Rin with you."

"What?"

"You heard me…take her with you."

"I thought that you wanted Rin to stay with you."

"I do but…"

"But?"

"Sesshomaru I have a vision of foresight and I know what will happen to Rin if she stays with me…and if I can prevent the act from happening I will do anything in my power to do so."

"What was the vision you saw?"

"I can't tell you."

"Tell me!"

"Please Sesshomaru you must understand, I don't want to lose my little girl."

Crystal couldn't help it she dropped to her knees and cry, never in her life had the Goddess of the heavens shed tears. Crystal's aura was filled with sorrow and regret. Sesshomaru never had to comfort anyone in his life but he felt the need to comfort her. He kneeled and took Crystal into his arms, he held her until she stopped crying.

"Will you be alright?"

"Yes thank you for you help."

"We should go back now."

"Yes we should."

They walked back to the group, Rin and Shippo were playing Kagome sensed a change in her sister's aura. Kagome was worried about Crystal. Crystal called to Rin, Sesshomaru decided that it was best that he stay close to the two females.

"Rin honey…"

"Yes mommy…"

Crystal's heart tightened she could bring herself to tell her daughter to go leave without her. But she had no choice she wanted Rin to be safe and if that meant being with Sesshomaru at the castle then so be it.

"Rin…you have to go with Sesshomaru."

"But…I want to stay with you."

"I know you do honey but I want you to be safe, and I know that Sesshomaru will kept you safe."

"But mommy, I have you and auntie Kagome, auntie Sango, uncle Miroku and uncle Inuyasha to keep me safe."

"Rin…sweet heart, you have to go with your father…"

"But…"

"No buts."

Before Rin could protest any more, Crystal turned her back and flew away from everyone. Rin was crying and she ran to Kagome for comfort, Kagome took the girl in her arms and tried explaining to Rin why Crystal wanted Rin to go with Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru had said nothing and waited for the girl to calm down and come to him.

"Rin."

"Yes lord Sesshomaru?"

"Lets go…"

"Yes."

Rin sighed and nodded and walked over to Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru walked away and Rin followed him. They both walked back in silence they only stopped to take a break.

Crystal's Pov

Crystal was sitting by the river crying why did her life had to be so complicated, first she had to fight with Sesshomaru because of Lee now she had to send her daughter away because of her vision. Crystal sat thinking when she felt an aura coming towards her.

Kagome had followed her sister she had to find out what was wrong with Crystal. When Kagome had stopped her she landed and walked towards her. Kagome sat down beside her sister and hugged Crystal and waited.

"Crystal?"

"…"

"Tel me what's wrong with you?"

"Rin…"

"What about Rin?"

"She was going to die if she stayed with us…"

"How do you know that?"

"Kagome I have the vision of foresight and I saw it all happen…demons killed Rin and I wasn't able to stop them…Sesshomaru blamed me for killing her, my baby, my baby…."

Kagome didn't say anything but she let her sister cry her heart out. It was hard on a mother to send her child away even if that child was not born from you. Kagome would feel the same way if she had to send Shippo away from her. They both sat in silence crying with each other.

Naraku and Nori Pov

"Did the spell work?" (Naraku)

"Yes, Crystal thinks that with her daughter near her she will die…soon our plan will work out…I will get the kingdom of heaven and you Naraku will get the Shikon jewel and get your godly powers back."

"What will we do with the girls?"

"Well, I need a queen by my side so I may take Crystal with me."

"What of Kagome?" (Naraku)

"I don't need her…"

"Alright then…when will we set faze two of our plan?"

"Soon, when they are at the castle and settled…"

"Very well."

a Week later with the gang

Inuyasha and the group were walking back to Keade's village. They hadn't found any jewel shards and the group needed a break. Kagome and Inuyasha's relationship was going great the only thing that was in their way was Kikyo. Hours had pasted and they had finally reached the village. Crystal noticed something foul in the air and hid the aura and scent away from the group. When the group entered Keade's hut Crystal informed Miroku that she would like to speak with him. Crystal put a sound barrier around the hut so they wouldn't be over heard.

"Miroku?"

"Yes Lady Crystal?"

"Kikyo is in the area and I'll going to dispose of her once and for all…I want you to put scrolls around the hut so Inuyasha wouldn't break out of them…can you do that?"

"It will be done…"

"Thank you."

"You welcome."

Miroku went inside the hut and left Crystal alone with her thoughts. When Crystal felt the power of the scrolls she walked out into the forest so she could confront the dead miko. Crystal reached the clearing where Kikyo was, she was standing in front of the god tree. Her back was towards Crystal, when she was about ten feet again Kikyo turned to her.

"Who are you?"

"I am the Goddess of the Heavens."

"What do you want with me?"

"I came here, to put you to rest Priestess Kikyo."

"Can you not over look my presence here and let me continue to walk this earth."

"I can not…you have something that belongs to my sister…"

"Your sister? You are mistaken, I have nothing of a goddess."

"You do, my sister's soul, without it she will soon die along with you."

"My reincarnation."

"No Kagome isn't you're reincarnation. It doesn't matter anyway you're going to leave this earth anyways."

Crystal formed a bow and arrow, they glowed with bright purple light. She concentrated her power into the arrow. She released then arrow as Kikyo was about to release hers. The arrow pierced Kikyo's clay body, she fell to the ground trying to remain with her souls. Crystal put up a barrier so the soul collectors wouldn't be able to help their mistress.

Each soul left the clay body and flew into the sky finally the last soul the one that was so important flew towards Crystal and floated in front of her. Crystal nodded and the soul flew into Crystal knowing that Crystal would take it to its host. Crystal took one final look at what was left of Kikyo. Crystal swung her arms and the wind obeyed the silent command of their mistress.

The wind blew and took the ashes of Kikyo away. Crystal knew that if the ashes were taken back to the village, in the future Kikyo's ashes could be used for evil again. Crystal said a silent prayer for Kikyo then she walked back to the village. When she arrived at Keade's hut, Crystal could still feel Miroku's magic at work so Crystal knew that everyone was still in the hut.

She broke the spell that was placed on the door and she walked in. the group were all sitting around the fire talking. Miroku looked up at Crystal when she entered the room she nodded to him. Crystal walked towards her sister when she was in front of Kagome Crystal lifted her hands in front of her chest.

The rest of Kagome's soul emerged from Crystal's body and floated on the top of her hands. The soul descend towards Kagome's body, the soul went into her body. Kagome glowed pink and she floated up in the air. Crystal watched as her sister was becoming whole again.

"What the hell is going on?" (Inuyasha)

"My sister's soul, is becoming whole, her power is also growing."

"But how?" (Sango)

"What?" (Inuyasha)

"What Lady Crystal means is Kagome finally has her whole soul and with that her power is growing."

"Thank you Miroku for the explanation." (Crystal)

"Anytime."

"So how did you get her soul back?" (Inuyasha)

"You should know the answer to that, Kagome was slowing dieing you couldn't see it but I could, I'm her twin I felt her pain. Her power was burning through her body, I needed to do this for her. And as fate would have it Kikyo was just outside the door."

"WHAT YOU KILLED HER." (Inuyasha)

"Have you not been listening to anything that I had said? Of course I killed her to save me sister."

Inuyasha jumped towards Crystal but he was pulled back by a force field.

Kagome Pov

Kagome knew exactly what her sister had done, she killed Kikyo so she could have her soul back. Kagome had known that Kikyo was in the area but didn't say anything to the group because she knew that Crystal would do something about her. As much as Kagome didn't agree with Kikyo's afterlife style (AN: Life style didn't seem appropriate here) she couldn't bring her self to kill Kikyo.

Kagome could feel her power growing and she felt complete, the pain that she felt had gone and now she felt like a whole new person. When the light subsided no one noticed, because of the argument of Crystal and Inuyasha. Kagome watched was Inuyasha jumped towards her sister, Kagome made a barrier between the two.

Normal Pov

Everyone looked at Kagome, she looked the same, nothing had changed. Inuyasha's ears flattened as he looked at her, he could remember was he was fighting her sister for. Was it because she killed Kikyo before he had a chance to say goodbye or was it because he couldn't think about doing it himself?

"Kagome are you alright?"

"Yes Crystal I am, thank you."

"You welcome…"

"Its been a long night I believe we should retried for the night."

"Your right Miroku."

"Good night everyone." (Crystal)

Crystal started to walk towards the door of the hut.

"Crystal?" (Kagome)

"Yes?"

"Where are you going?"

"I'm going to scout the area, take a bath."

"But why?" (Sango)

"Because its something that I must do."

"I'll go with you?"

"No Kagome, you stay with you beloved."

"But…"

"No buts, just because I wouldn't have my happy ending doesn't mean that you wouldn't have yours."

Crystal didn't say anymore she just went out the door and walked away from the village towards the god tree. Crystal kneeled at the base of the tree and prayed that all was well with her daughter and that she would forgive her for everything. After a while Crystal went towards the lake to take a bath. She walked on the water and waved her hands in front of her.

Her clothes changed into a black bikini. Crystal walked into the middle of the lake she was over the water. It was like she was walking on normal ground. She made some hand movements and the water lifted up into the air and circled around her. The water danced around like it was doing a show.

The water stopped by Crystal's head and flowed down her body she did this many times until she was completely wet. Crystal crouched down and put her hand in the water, when she pulled it out a bottle of shampoo appeared in her hands. She poured some of the material in her hair and started to wash it. Then again she took the water to wash out the shampoo.

When she was done again Crystal moved her hands but this time the wind was blowing and was drying her. When she was dry again she waved her hands and a halter light purple dress appeared on her body. The dress had two slits at the side going all the way up to her thighs, and she had a golden belt at mid waist. Crystal was unaware that their was someone watching the whole thing.

Unknown Pov

He was walking through the forest looking for food to eat, he was closing in of the deer when he hear water and movement. He smelled the air, rose and strawberries were being blown form the direction from the lake. He had to investigate so this was. When he got their he saw a beautiful maiden with long black hair washing herself . She had strange garments on, but what made him wonder who she was, were her white wings. He couldn't understand what was he familiar about this woman.

He wanted to leave to give her some privacy but he couldn't move a muscle, he didn't want to leave. He watched second by second as she washed herself then when she was done changed her clothes. The demon figured that she must be a witch or a miko to have so much power. The demon figured that it was time to leave and he stepped back he stepped on a twig and it snacked. The maiden looked over to where he was standing and narrowed her blue eyes at him.

Normal Pov

Crystal was about to leave when she heard a twig snap, she felt a demonic aura and she narrowed his eyes towards the intruder. Crystal jumped into the air and landed in front of the demon.

"Who are you? What are you doing here spying on me?"

"I was hunting and found you here."

"That doesn't explain why you were spying on me."

"I…ummm…"

In the back ground they both heard someone calling out "Queen Crystal, Goddess Crystal". Crystal looked over at the demon and cursed under her breathe, her guardians had to figure out now that she was not in the village.

"I better go."

"Wait?"

"What now."

"I will accompany you…"

"I don't know."

"Please, accept my company as an apology for my rudeness."

Sigh. "Very well…you never told me your name."

"Oh I am sorry…My name is…Kouga, I am the leader of the Northern Wolf demon tribe…What is yours milady?"

"I'm Crystal…Queen and Goddess of the heavens."
