I own nothing


Kagome and Sango hugged both Inutaisho and Sesshomaru and said goodbye.

An hour later Sango and Kagome were both in Kagome's chamber. Sango was in a chair near the window with Kilala on her lap and Kagome was on her bed. Kagome had a bruise forming on the right side of her face. Luckily Sesshomaru or Inutaisho didn't see it when they were here.

"What am I gonna do? I can't leave with Sesshomaru. Kikyo and father will try their damnedest to not allow me to leave with him." Kagome said mainly to herself.

Sango looked at Kagome as she was petting Kilala, her cat. "Do you remember when I first came here? I was ten and Kohaku was six. We became best friends instantly. Your mother is like a mother to me. My village was slain by mindless packs of demons. Me and kohaku was in the Meadows so we was not there. But your mother found us. And she cared for us until she went to the south But if you'll remember Kagome, your mother always said what was worth the price was always worth the fight." Sango said.

Kagome nodded. Sesshomaru was worth it to her. She had to fight to leave this place. She would go South to see her mother. Even if Koga had a huge crush on her. But he was to arrogant for Kagome.

Then she thought of Souta.

"When me and you both escape from here. The first thing we are doing is visiting my mother. You may not like the second thing though." Kagome said. Sango raised a questioning brow.

"What would that be?" Sango asked.

"It took this long to feel like I was strong. Sesshomaru made me feel strong today. When father walked up to me I didn't flinch. But after I was hit it almost broke me. Because it embarrassed me. But now I have the strength to do something I have been trying to do for two years." Kagome paused and she looked at Sango.

"I'm going to save Souta." Kagome said.

Sango stood. Kilala hopped off Sango's lap. "Kagome your crazy! You can't do it by yourself! You have no power against them!" Sango yelled.

Sango was right. All Kagome could use were her arrows that was it.

But Kagome could not let doubts cloud her jugdement. She would rescue him. Even if it cost her life.

Kagome stood. "Sango, I need to take a walk. Do not follow. I will be back." She said. Sango nodded.

Kagome walked out of her chamber door. Out of the castle and passed the castle gates. Kagome was in the woods. She sat in a field full of white lilies. It was her favorite spot. Her safe haven. She laid on her back. She fell asleep.

Kagome woke up with Naraku sitting close to her. He was about three yards from her. She sat up quickly. Naraku stood.

"What do you want?" Kagome asked as she stood.

Naraku chuckled. "I was seeing if I had finally killed you." He said.

"Well I'm still alive!" Kagome yelled.

Naraku nodded. "I see that." He said.

Kagome glared at Naraku quietly. She couldn't sense his aura. So she assumed he was able to hide it. Kagome wanted to ask him something but she couldn't find the right words until they came out on their own.

"Why did you not take me and Souta two years ago? Why just him?" Kagome asked. Naraku looked down with an evil smirk.

Naraku looked back to Kagome. "I wanted you all to suffer. You was cursed and was also separated from your brother. Yet you still live in a hell house you call home, abused by your own blood. Souta is with me yet he thinks I killed you. That is enough torture for him. But Kikyo and your father have some torture coming their way as well." Naraku said.

Kagome let one tear roll down her face. She knew she shoul3dnt be crying for her father and Kikyo but she couldn't help it.

"The fact that you even care about them disgust me. No wonder people think you are so fragile. Your cry for the safety of your enemies." Naraku said.

Kagome ignored his comment.

"This goes way passed wanting land. What motives could you possibility have?" Kagome asked.

Naraku chuckled.

"Revenge." Was all he said.

"I don't understand." Kagome said.

"Midoriko was the most powerful priestess to ever exist. She was the only one who could kill us dragons with spiritual energy. She is your grandmother on your mothers side. And you Kagome are her reincarnation. Many thought Kikyo was. But your whole family knew it was you. One hundred and fifty years ago, I was mated to a dragon demoness named Mizuki. But your grandmother killed her. And now for as long as I live I will continue to harm all of Midoriko's descendants. I must end her line like she did with mine." Naraku paused.

His hands started to glow green. "But you must die first since you are her reincarnation!" Naraku yelled as he flashed to Kagome. He slashed her with his acid. She cried out in pain as she gripped her shoulder. Her aura flared.

That got Sango's attention.


Sesshomaru flew beside his father on his own cloud. It was the fastest way to fly without wasting any energy. Sesshomaru could not get Kagome out of his mind. He wanted to go back to her. To take her away from the jail she called home.

Sesshomaru stopped flying as did Inutaisho. They looked to the East. They could sense Kagome's aura and they were at the border of the East and West. They never knew Kagome could be this powerful. Something was not right. Sesshomaru flew back to Kagome at full speed. He didn't know if he was being overprotective. But even his beast was nagging him about something being wrong. And his beast doesn't worry much.

Both demons and Sango went straight to Kagome.

A/N: Please let me know I'm doing.
