Previously:

Kagome punched the tree, making a dent in the bark. Her demon part of her trying up rise through the surface. She knew she had to calm down; she didn't want anything bad to happen not yet anyways.

"I think it's time to pay InuYasha and Kikyou a visit." Kagome gave off an evil smirk.

Present:

"Better yet I think that I will visit InuYasha and Kikyou last." Kagome said with a sinister smirk on her face. Her facial expression showing that she was coming up with a plot. "I have too see Sango and Mirkou first before anything.

Kagome stretch her arms while moving her shoulders around. She begin to walk and head down to the village. She wonder if the villagers would take any notice to her appearance. She did look quite human, but way too beautiful to be a human and her clothing way to elegant. "I know she still has to be here." She walked past the stream, nothing but men staring her and luscious curves.

"Excuse me miss?" A man said walking towards her.

"Yes?" She respond.

"What is a beauty like you doing here in this kind of village?"

"Hmm... I am looking for a older woman name Kaede."

"I may be of assistance to you."

"You know where she is?"

"Yes." The man replied happily. "Follow me."

Kagome stared deep at him too see if you was telling a lie, he wasn't. She begin to follow behind the man.

They stayed quiet for about 5 minutes until he finally broke the silence. "What do you need with Lady Kaede?"

"Oh, just wanted to visit that's all."

"I see." He said smiling. "Do you know Lady Kaede is the younger sister of the beloved Kikyou?"

"Yes, I know that quite indeed." She said.

"You know Lady Kikyou?"

"I know her very well." She replied. "Kikyou and I have had our moments together."

"Oh, is that so? Tell me what is your name?"

"Kagome." She replied.

"Kagome? Now where have I heard that name before?" He said as he put his index finger on his chin.

"You couldn't have heard it. Its not familiar in these parts."

"That may be true, but I could have sworn I heard the name Kagome before."

"Where?"

"Here in the village."

"I see."

"Yes well, here we are. This is Lady Kaede hut."

"Thank you for me showing me. I really appreciate it."

"Your welcome. See you soon?"

Kagome nodded her head in agreement. The man turned his back away from her, she watched him until he no longer in view. She turned to the little hut and was hesitant to walk in. "What if InuYasha is in there now? I'm not ready to see him, it will be too soon." She took a deep breath and let it out slowly and repeated it once more. She slowly grabbed the cloth and let her face slowly appear.

"Demon!" The old women yelled.

"No, Kaede." Kagome said as she walked in.

"How does ye know of thy name?"

"Because I'm Kagome."

"Kagome?" Kaede gasped. "How did thee become a demon? Where have thy been all these years?"

"Its a very long story I don't have time to explain." Kagome looked around. "And I'm only a half demon."

"What is ye looking for?" Kaede asked. "InuYasha?"

"No. Tell me where is Sango, Mirkou and Shippou?"

"Oh, Sango and Mirkou moved off to Sango's old Village. She is now a lady of the castle, they born two children."

"And Shippou?"

"Shippou now stays with the wolf, Kouga." Kaede replied. "Thy wanted to become stronger."

"I see." Kagome turned to leave.

"Don't ye want to hear bout InuYasha?"

"No, that's okay." Kagome said standing up. "Tell no one I was here."

"Kagome, where is ye going?"

"Where ever my journey leads me." Kagome replied back as she walked out the door.

"Oh, poor Kagome." Kaede thought to herself. "I wonder what really happened?"

"It seems that everybody has went on with their lives like I didn't even leave." Kagome thought to herself. "Did they even wonder why I just up and vanished?"

Kagome left the village still thinking. She decided she would go to the Northern Mountains and see her little kitsune. She laughed on how Shippou and Kouga will react to her. She was pretty sure that those two will accept her no matter how she looked.

She was walking at a slow pace, not in much of rush to get there. If she wanted to she had got there in no time. She remembers when she first met Shippou, it put a smile on her face. She remembered how he feel so cuddly and soft when he slept in her arms or how his big eyes will shine when he smiled or scream her name when him and InuYasha will argue over the food she brought from her time. She laughed out loud, luckily no one was there too see. They probably would of thought she was deranged.

The moon glowing heavily on the earth making the surroundings sparkle like diamonds. The mountains were only a couple miles away. Kagome walked even slower, she took in the freshness of the air. She came across a small river, she splashed some of the water in her face and looked into see her reflection, she started to cry. "Come on now, Kagome, your stronger then this. No reason to cry over split milk; what's done is done." She splashed her face a couple more times with water before she got up, letting the gentle breeze dry her face.

By now she was on the mountain. She gently took her hand,rubbing it agaisnt the cold hard rock.

"Ugh, so much memories here too." Kagome thought back when she first met Kouga.

"Why InuYasha? Why did you have to go mess everything up. I thought we were happy. I was going to stay here for you InuYasha, but no, you want to go and change everything for the worse." She punched the rock. "I wondered what had happen if I actually stayed there and didn't run away. Would he had killed me? or maybe he just told Kikyou that to shut her up, maybe if I stayed there... we probably just would have walked back to the camp in silence and never would of spoke of it to Mirkou and Sango leaving it in the past." She stood paused for a minute, getting her feelings together. "Now, it makes me really wonder if I just had went back?"

So much memories were coming forth from the deep dark shadows of her mind. It brought back the good and bad, popping images into her head. She remember when her and InuYasha were talking alone in the cold forest sitting next to a small fire.

Flashback:

InuYasha and Kagome sat there quietly looking at the fire ablaze before them.

"Kagome."

"Yes, InuYasha."

InuYasha turned too look in Kagome eyes, his golden orbs meeting her chocolate swirls. Kagome heart wanting to burst right out of chest, she loved the way InuYasha would look deep into her eyes and be so close to her. He placed her hand on top of hers making Kagome blush a light pink. "What is he doing?" She thought to herself.

"Kagome, what are you going to do when we find all the shards of the jewel?"

"I'll stay here with you."

"Why? What if I become a full-fledge Youkai and won't even remember you?"

"I don't think that will happen." Kagome smiled at him as he turned his head to look at the fire. "We've been together for too long, InuYasha."

"Yeah, you right." InuYasha replied. It was noticeable that he obviously had something on his mind. "How do you feel about me becoming a full-fledge demon?"

"InuYasha, it doesn't really matter. I love the way you are weather its being a Hanyou or a Youkai I will accept you no matter what." Kagome said squeezing his hands. "But I think I've gotten so use to you being this way InuYasha I don't want you to change. But the decision is yours and whatever you do, I'm right here with you."

InuYasha grabbed Kagome and embraced her. "Kagome, we will always be with each other regardless of what happens." Kagome was shocked. "What could that mean?" She thought as she wrapped her arms around him. "Yes InuYasha, always."

End of Flashback

She held her head down. She was starting to become sad like she did after that fateful night. "I can't let this get the best of me." She approached a small cave. "This is it." She thought. It smelt of nothing but wolves, not one little scent of a fox demon was in there.

"Who's out there?" A husky voice called out.

"Damn, I forgot wolves had get hearing and smelling." She thought.

Once again he yelled out "I said who's there!"

Kagome didn't answer, she stood quiet. She decided that she will wait for him come and out, she was pretty sure it Kouga.

A tall tanned handsome demon walked outside the cave. He had a black hair that was in a low ponytail and bright blue eyes that could light up a dark dreary night anytime.

"How does it feel wearing one of your wolves's fur as an armor?" Kagome asked appearing from out of the shadows.

"What the... Who the hell are you?" Kouga asked.

"Wouldn't you like to know wolf boy?" Kagome said in a flirtatious way. She walked closer too him, rubbing her hands on his arms and messing with his ponytail.

"Look, I don't know who you are, but I suggest..." Kouga said before being interrupted. "Oh, but you do Kouga. You know exactly who I am."

"Whats going on, Kouga?" A tall handsome demon said with a deep voice. He had long reddish-brown hair that was up in a high ponytail and deep sea water turquoise eyes, armor that kind of looked like Kouga, but looked way better in his built frame, and a big fluffy tail swerving behind him.

"I don't know, but can you help out Shippou?"

He stared at Kagome for a very long time. Once he realized his eyes became big and bright and smile was planted on his face from ear to ear.

"What the hell you so happy for Shippou. Do something!" Kouga yelled.

Shippou ran toward Kagome and swooped right off the ground, holding her bridal style. Kagome let out a laugh "I take it that you know who I am huh, Shippou?"

"What the hell is going on here?" Kouga yelled becoming frustrated.

"I missed you so much. Shippou said swinging her side to side like a little kid. "Why did you leave, Kagome?"

"Kagome?" Kouga said puzzled not catching on at first. "What in the world? KAGOME!"

"Right in the flesh." She laughed.

"Your a demon, Kagome!"

"I'm well aware of that Kouga." She laughed some more giving and Shippou a hint to let her down.

"How? Who? When?"

"Questions can be answered later on, Kouga." She smiled. "How have you two been over the years?"

"We've been great. How about you?" Shippou replied.

"Just fine."

"Oh, Kagome your even more beautiful then before." Kouga said grabbing Kagome's hands.

Kagome blushed a little.

"Ha. Leave it too Kouga to be a lost for a minute, then be back to his old self."

"Yeah, I know." Kagome let out a little laugh, it kind of reminded her of InuYasha.

"Have you spoken to Mirkou or Sango?"

"Not yet." Kagome replied still holding Kouga hands.

"I can show them to you in the morning if you like."

"That would be great, then I can finally sit and explain myself."

Kouga led her into the cave and sat her in the most comfortable spot that was there. "Here you go, Kagome. I hope its too your liking."

"No, its just right." She said patting the hay. "Thank You, Kouga."

"For you anything." Kagome once again flushed a light pink.

"Kouga really is the one that loved me. Why didn't I just stay with him when I had the chance. After all the times InuYasha got jealous because I was with Kouga, you would think he'll think about how I feel when he's with Kikyou." Kagome sighed.

She curved up into a little ball and closed her eyes. "Its all a matter of time." Kagome whispered before going into a deep sleep.
