Thanx for ALL the reviews xWhit3StaRx!! And I don't like Kikyou either. Oh and also thanx to inu crazy, sorry about the cliffie i still hope you like my story! :) Well here it goes.

(what happened last time)

She pulled out her sleeping bag, and climbed in.

Giving one last glance at Inuyasha, she closed her eyes and was soon asleep.

Yet she didn't notice how the blue jewel around her neck was blinking.

(Now on with story!)

Three days passed by before Kouga had woken up. Everyone was outside doing the usual. Inuyasha in a tree, Miroku in the village probably looking for young girls, Shippo playing with kirara, Sango and Kagome sitting near the hut talking.

They all turned their attention to the hut as they heard a moan come from it. Kagome stood and Kaede came out not too long after.

"Kagome, Kouga is awake and wishes to see you." Kaede said gesturing for her to come in. Kagome nodded, not even looking to the rest of the group, she walked in.

He laid there, smiling a weak smile. Kagome returned it and walked over to kneel next to him.

"Kouga, im so glad your awake." She said. You could see relief in her eyes. "Are you feeling alright?"

"Yeah..um, where is my pack?" He asked looking around and sniffing the air.

"Oh kouga." Her eyes full of sadness. "Sango and Miroku went to look....I am sorry, but they found no survivers."she felt tears wanting to fall as she looked at the sorrow and disbelief in his eyes. After all, they were his family.

"No..." He shook his head and looked away. A pained exppresion on his face. "I couldn't save them...I failed."

"Kouga, it's not your fault. Do not blame yourself for Naraku's doing!" A tear fell from her eye.

"Kagome don't cry. Im sorry, but I can't help it. It is my fault. As a leader I was supposed to be strong enough to defend the pack, and I didn't." He looked at her and smiled a fake smile. She moved towards him and hugged him and he hugged back.

Inuyasha walked through the door. "What the hell do you think you are doing?!" He yelled. Making Kagome jump and pull apart from him.

"Its called a hug you pea-brain." said Kouga. Inuyasha growled and drew his sword.

"Now your really going to die!" Yelled Inuyasha.

"STOP!" Kagome screamed. "Inuyasha come outside with me." She said in a forced calm voice.

They walked outside and into the forest barely. Just enough, so that the trees hid them. They looked at each other, waiting for one to say something. They didn't have to wait long.

"What do you think you were doing?!" Inuyasha shouted.

Kagome sighed. "I had just got done telling him about his pack and I was trying to comfort him."

"Yeah looked like you both were getting pretty comfortable there!" He yelled accusingly. Glaring at her. Which didn't help but only make her furious. But she tried to control herself.

"It was a hug you idiot!" She yelled not doing a very good job at this whole 'controlling' thing.

"Like I am supposed to believe that! You wench!" He yelled.

"Sit!" She yelled and then turned and ran into the forest to cool off. Inuyasha peeled himself off the ground a minute later and looked in the direction she ran. 'Maybe I should go after her...She will probably just get angrier...I will go after her in a little while.' He thought and walked back into the hut.

......with Kagome....

She ran until she saw a river and sat by a nearby tree. She breathed in the refreshing scent. And started to close her eyes, forgetting the hanyou she was angry with before. Just as she was about to fall asleep she heard a rustle a few yards away. Her head jerked in that direction and she sprang up, ready.

"Who's there!" She called out, trying to sound brave to maybe intimidate whatever was there. She reached to touch the handles of her sais. Her eyes narrowed trying to pick up the slightests of movement. She waited thirty seconds before it rustled again. But this time a large lizard looking thing came out. It's red eyes looking hungerly at her. It's fangs had to be at least a foot long. It's tail had four large spikes that looked wuite sharp.

She unsheathed her sais and got into a fighting stance. The lizard hissed, and charged at her. She moved swiftly out of the way and stabbed it in the back. She didn't notice it's tail coming around but luckly it missed her, only catching her necklace and ripping it off. She jumped back pulling the sai she stabbed it with, with her.

It hissed again and this time, shooting a disgusting looking green blob from its mouth at Kagome. She moved to the side. She saw it was acid as it hit a tree and incinerated it instantly. 'well, that might hurt' She thought as she dodged another acid blob. Then tried to stab it again but had to avoid contact with it's tail and she ended up jumping back.

'He's not dying as quickly as I thought he would.' She thought 'Maybe this is a good time to practice my powers.' She decided. She concentrated holding her sais out, crossed in front of her. Blue energy formed as a ball and she released it. It made contact as the lizard made a horrible screaching noise before it was killed. She turned away as a horrible stench erupted from it.

She went over and grabbed her necklace with the blue jewel on it. She was reaching to put it on when it started blinking. She looked around then back at it in wonder. 'Why is it...Is it trying to tell me something..' She stared at it a bit longer and decided to try and concentrate on it.

She closed her eyes concentrating hard on the jewel. Soon, she saw Nika. She looked like she was talking, but Kagome couldn't hear her.

"What are you trying to tell me?" She asked allowed. As if answering the question she heard Nika.

"Kagome I am so glad I reached you. I was worried my jewel was broken. Oh and just to let you know this isn't the secret power it has" She laughed a little then went serious " But that is besides the point, I have been captured by Naraku.... But do not come looking for me, I have been trying to reach you for about three or four days. By the time you get here I will probably be dead anyways.."She trailed off. Sorrow in her eyes.

"What? I can't leave you! We will come after you."Kagome said

"No." She said flatly "You are not ready, none of you are. I have...overheard some things. Naraku has got all the jewel shards except for yours, so you won't have to wait long, im sure. But he also has gained a lot of power. He has defeated and taken many of the most feared demons powers...I fear if you come you will surely lose. And you are everyone's last hope. Once he has gained the whole jewel, there will be no stopping him, im afraid." She sighed "You must not fail. I know this may be a lot of pressure, but for the fate of the world as we know it and probably the human race, you have to defeat him."

"But what can we do? If all that you say is true we may lose once he comes." Kagome said in a worried tone.

"I am not sure. You may be able to defeat him once you learn your powers, and get as many allies as you can...I have to go, I think I hear Naraku. Be careful Kagome." She said fading away.

Kagome opened her eyes. There was sweat on her forehead and she was panting slightly. She looked around remembering where she was. Then sprang up. 'I have to find the others....I want to go look for Nika. I don't want her to die.. But It would be no use anyways. I couldn't do anything about it.' She thought then turned to go back to the camp. She needed to find the others. There was no telling when Naraku would come for the rest of the jewels. And the needed to be ready. Or, well as ready as they can get for a fight with Naraku. Since there was no telling what he had up is sleeve.

She had a bad feeling in her stomach as she ran. She felt as though her legs were going to collapse. But not from weakness just from being unable to do what her mind was telling them. Her head felt light. She knew, for some reason, she knew that it wasn't sickness for all this, it was somewhat of a warning or premonition of what is to come. 'Yes' She thought 'The final battle draws near, this is what we have all been waiting for...But I feel..like it's just not a good idea...like suddenly I have instincts and they are telling me to get the hell out, and fast.'

Hey all I hope you like this chapter! I think I will update next this weekend. Okay well seeyaz! :)
