Darkness carrier: Hi everyone. I'm so sorry for not having updated this story but I found myself stuck and unable to write anything more. So I decided to redo this story entirely. There were too many holes, too many errors for me to be satisfied. I am working on the new first chapter right this instant, and I have to admit there will be many, many changes. So I probably won't post it until I finished all the chapters.

Of course, if you guys are very impatient (winks) leave an email, and after promising not to steal it (I trust your word…) I'll be more than glad to send it to you guys. I just don't want people to be confused when they read this story.

The title may change as well, depending on your views. I need to know, should I make Kagome a demon? I have to admit, if I do, keeping her in character will prove to be a challenge, but the idea promises a great twist in the plot. Well tell me if you want me to keep her a demon or let her be herself as a human in the revised story in reviews! Thanks guys for being so patient with me!

Review responses from now on will be posted in my livejournal later on. For now I'll focus on revising the chapters.

Happy belated Christmas, and New Years!

Because I feel bad for leaving with only a note of temporary hiatus, I'll do a short scene with Kagome and a guy (your pick on who it is.) Take note though it has NOTHING to do with the story line!

P.S: My livejournals will tell you of the stats of all my stories and the next chapters so keep up with that!.

"You came."

Kagome closed her eyes to hide her tears. "Yes." She heard herself agree.

"You're a fool."

Her lower lip trembling with hurt, she nodded slowly. "I know."

"Did you truly think I would, could, accept you? In times such as these, you dare entertain such impossible thoughts?"

"Why? Why are you taunting me? I get it! You don't love me, you used me, and you hurt me. I get all that! What I don't understand is… is… why? Why do I still love you?" She took a shuddering breath and continued recklessly. "You cut me down with insults, and I'm listening for more because I'm entranced by your voice. You stare at me mockingly, and I'm plagued with your beautiful eyes. You tell me of how you hate me, and I am filled with thoughts of love for you. But not tonight."

Kagome turned to regard the shadowed figure with twin sapphire orbs wide with sorrow. To her slight surprise, he was tense, and his jaw was clenched tightly.

"Then what, pray tell, are you doing tonight?"

Kagome smiled softly, kneeling down to place something on the snow filled ground. "Saying good-bye." She whispered and walked away.

She had waited too long for her love to be returned, for him to give her his heart as she had given him hers. And she couldn't afford the price of time any longer. So, with a lighter heart than she had in ages, she passed him without pause.

From the raging storm in her heart she emerged, and into the swirling snow of now, she entered – leaving the frozen man behind her.

When, at last, she left his range of sight, enshrouded by the fluttering snowflakes, was he able to move. But he did not want to. He felt too cold, too numb, to think of moving.

If it weren't for the tiny sparkle from the place where she once stood, he didn't think he would ever walk ever again. However, curiosity haunted him, and rigidly, he made his way to the glimmering object, eyes pinned on the petite item lying so harmlessly on the snow.

He picked it up as soon as he was able, and a feeling – akin to dread – filled him.

Blank eyes peered at the innocent piece he had once given her, reading the words that would forever curse him.

I'll love you for eternity, my Kagome.

Throwing his head back, he cried a mournful howl, clutching the small ring to his chest. He had lost her. He had finally lost his angel.

…………………………………………………………………………..

Kagome laughed merrily as the children of the inhabitancies of the thriving village clambered clumsily around her.

"'Gome!" They giggled.

She beamed at them. "What would you like to do today?"

"Story!" They shouted.

She grinned and perched herself on a nearby bolder, clearing her throat for their request when she realised one child was missing. "Where's Minaka?"

Most of the kids shrugged, but one stumbled to his feet and pointed behind her. "There she is!" He squealed happily.

Fondness creeping into her eyes, she turned around and in that instant her smile fell.

"You…"

He stood there, holding the tiny girl in his arms, staring at her as he had always done. Yet there was something different in his eyes this time.

"Kagome!" The little girl squirmed and he let her down gently. "The nice man gave me this!" She flashed Kagome a small sketch, and with shock Kagome took in the similarities of herself and the character in the picture.

Smiling softly at the child, Kagome gave her a tender shove towards the other children. "Kagome has to talk to the nice man, okay Minaka?"

Minaka frowned then nodded furiously. "Okay!" She said, and bounced over to her friends.

Then there were two…

"Why are you here?" She demanded.

He kept looking at her with emotions she couldn't decipher.

"I don't want you back! I finally manage to get you out of my mind and you come back! Why? Why do you love hurting me?" Under the stress of seeing him again and the way her heart kept leaping in rebel against her words, she crumbled.

And he caught her.

"Why can't you leave me alone?"

He buried his face into her dark hair and grasped her left hand. In her turmoil, Kagome didn't even notice.

"I'm so tired of fighting… please… just what do you want?"

He leaned back to gaze into her eyes, and slid a small band onto her forth finger.

"Your forgiveness… and your love. I'm so sorry, my Kagome."

Unable to keep it in anymore, Kagome sobbed and found comfort in his embrace. He closed his eyes, and placed a loving kiss on her forehead and held her.

"I do love you, Kagome."

He felt her smile through his shirt, and the four words that filled him with so much joy.

"I love you too."
