Disclaimer: I don't own inu

Last chapter: "She's had a vision." Kai said as he comforted Kitara who was now sobbing, from what she had just witnessed.

Ooh, what this talk about a prophecy? Read this chapter to find out.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"A vision?" Kagome questioned.

"Yes, now that her memories have returned to her, she remembers the dreams she had received when she was a child. Those dreams were the sign that she was the next source." Kai replied.

"K-Kai?" Kitara said weakly as she was recovering from the terrible experience.

"Yes?"

"I… I remember from what happened before." Kitara said as she sat up.

"That's to be expected since your memories were returned to you." Monk Satoro said as he walked up to Kitara.

"M-monk Satoro?"

"I'm surprised you still remember me, even with your memories. When I met you, you were only 4 years old." Monk Satoro said.

"1 year after I started receiving those dreams." Kitara said as she scanned through her new memories.

Suddenly something in the corner of her eye caught her attention, something orange, thin and furry. It was a tail, and it was about 3 feet long. (Yes, I changed the length of the tail) She turned her head to see where this tail had come from. To her surprise the tail was connected… to her?!?

"Oh, my god, I…. have a tail!?!?" she said in shock, but also in wonder.

She wasn't as scared as she first thought, because the tail felt sort of familiar. She decided to test it out. First she swayed it to the right, then to the left, soon she got the hang of it and started making funny S formations in the air.

"Uhh, Kitara?" Kagome asked.

"Yes?"

What was with that, umm, vision that you had." Kagome said.

"Oh, uh well..."

XxXxXxXxXx

…A few minutes later…

"And that's what happened." Kitara finished.

Everyone was chatting about what Kitara had just said. Then Kai walked up to Kitara and reached for her wrist.

"Come with me Kitara, I want to show you something." Kai said as he took her outside.

"What's with them?" Inuyasha wondered out loud.

"Isn't it obvious, they like each other." Mizuki said bluntly as she put her hands behind her head.

"Ever since we've been here, he was always talking about her. How they would be together again no matter how long it took, and how he would always be there for her and that he would always wait for her and…" Mizuki continued but she was interrupted by Kagome.

"Wait, what?" Kagome asked.

"Oops, we forgot to talk about that part didn't we." Mai said.

"Well, you see, when they were kids, they both had crushes on each other, everyone could tell, but they always thought it was their little secret." Monk Satoro stated.

---------------Outside-----------------------------------

"Kai what is it?" Kitara asked as Kai led her to a tree.

"Kitara, do you remember this tree?" Kai said as he ran his hand down the trunk.

"Y-yeah." Kitara started slowly.

"This is the tree where… we told each other." Kitara finished as she walked closer to the three, then slowly removed a piece of bark, that had been removed once before, and revealed, faint writing engraved in the tree, hardly legible, but Kitara and Kai knew what was written.

Engraved in the tree were their names, and it read 'Kitara and Kai forever'.

"We still are, right?" Kai asked.

Kitara just smiled and said,

"You already know the answer."

She embraced him and buried her head in his chest. When they both parted, Kitara went to the tree and used her claw to re-engrave what was written before.

"There, to make sure it'll stay that way." Kitara said smiling as she returned to Kai.

Then they both jumped into the tree and landed on a branch where they both held each other close.

--------------Flash back-------------------

Kitara and Kai were about 6 and 7 years old.

"Hey, Kitara come here I want to show you something." Kai said as he grabbed Kitara's wrist and led her to the edge of the forest.

"What is it Kai?" Kitara asked as Kai took her to a large tree.

"Kitara, I want to ask you something." Kai said hesitantly.

"What is it?" Kitara asked again.

"Do, uhh, d-do you l-li…" Kai began nervously but was interrupted when Kitara threw her arms around him.

"Kitara?" Kai asked as he wrapped his arms around her as well.

"Yes, I do." Kitara simply said already knowing what he was going to say, as they held each other in a warm embrace.

"Kitara, come here." Kai said as he went up to the tree, and carefully removed a piece of bark from the tree.

"What are you doing Kai?" Kitara said as she saw him begin to engrave his name in the exposed trunk of the tree.

"I'm making it permanent." Kai said smiling as Kitara walked up and began to write her name as well.

Then they both finished it by writing 'forever'.

They looked at each other and smiled, Kai then carefully placed the piece of bark back.

"It's our little secret." Kai said as he smiled.

Kitara placed her hand on the tree then smiled back

-----------------End flashback-------------------------

"Aww, isn't that cute?" Kagome said as she peered through the window.

"Wow, it's been a long time since I saw big brother happy like that. It must be true love." Mai said as she clasped her hands together.

"It was a shame that their love was 'postponed'." Satoro said sadly.

"What do you mean postponed?" Sango asked.

"Well, you see unfortunately, before their relationship could go any farther, Kitara was taken away by the elders of the villages." Someone said from behind. Everyone turned to see who it was.

"Akane, how long have you been there?" Satoro asked as he walked up to the woman.

She had long dark-red hair down to her waist, black-red eyes, and she wore a kimono kind of like Mizuki's. It was a short-sleeve kimono that was up to her knee. It was a mix of 2 different shades of red, Orange-red and normal red, with flame patterns scattered around the kimono, a yellow sash, and slit going down the side of the kimono. She also had red white-tipped fox ears and a red, white- tipped fox tail. She looked to be about 19 years old (human years).

"Actually, I just came back from the market." she said with a smile on her face as she put down a basket with a few things in it.

"I see we have some visitors." She said as she walked up to Inuyasha and the gang.

"My name is Akane, I'm a kitsune." She said as she reached out her hand.

Yeah, thats kind of obvious. Mizuki thought to herself

"My name is Kagome." Kagome said as she shook Akane's hand.

"This is Sango, Miroku, Inuyasha, Kirara, and that's Shippo, he's a kitsune too." Kagome said as she pointed to Shippo.

Shippo hid behind Kagome and waved shyly.

"H-hello."

"Aww, he's so cute, come here." Akane said as she picked up the little kitsune.

"So Akane, what were you saying before?" Kagome asked.

"You mean about Kai and Kitara?"

Kagome nodded.

"Well, you see they were, umm, in a relationship for about a year, but when they were going to make it official, well…" Akane began.

To be continued…dun, dun, dun
