Wow! The reviews are great and inspiring, so keep them coming! That last chapter was pretty intense, wouldn't ya say? I'm going to try and post two chapters today. I have a lot of Spanish homework tonight, so that's going to get in the way of me writing. I'm also starting on a book if you're interested in hearing about it. Okay, here we go!

- Past Time -

Kagome awoke laying in a field of flowers. "Wh...where am I?" she asked out loud to no one in particular. Looking around, she noticed that the clearing, or rather, crater, that

she had been in was no where to be found. Instead she was in a large field of brightly colored flowers. Standing up and brushing herself off, she checked herself for any

injuries. Besides her badly scraped knees, she couldn't find anything wrong. She felt fine, tense, but fine. The shocks and tremors she had been experiencing were now gone

and she felt alive? Yes, alive. Although, she had been before, but this time she felt complete. Yes, that was what she felt. Complete, in the whole sense of the word. It was

like she was home. Home? Where was she exactly. Kagome pondered these internal questions and began to look around. Looking ahead of her she spotted a path that led to

the woods. "I guess i'll just follow that until I can find someone with answers." she said aloud.

She had been walking along the same path for over an hour and still Kagome had not gotten anywhere. "Ugh, this is so frustrating. All I want is answers!" she cried out to the

heavens as rain started to ascend down on top of her. "Great. This is exactly what I wanted." she ground out as she put her head down and continued to walk. She felt an

aura around her then. Wait, an aura? 'But I've never felt an aura in the present which only means...' Kagome gasped. Could it really be that she had been brought back to the

past? She wasn't able to leap for joy, however, as a voice and figure made itself known. "Well, well, well, if it isn't a miko. And a pretty one at that. Right boys?" Kagome

shivered at the sound of the beings voice. Stepping out from the shadow three figures approached her. From the looks of them they were lizard demons. 'Yeah, i'm definitely

in the past.' she thought to herself. Annoyed with the demons, she began to move forward paying them no attention. "Pardon me, but I must be going. I don't have anytime

to waste with this petty talk." she said to them as one stepped in front of her and growled. "No, we have plenty of time, woman. You will respect us, or else your end will

come sooner than we'd like." the three demons laughed at this. "Oh, and what exactly are you going to do?" Kagome said angrily with her hands on her hips." for someone

who had, at least to her knowledge, lost all of her miko powers, she sure talked a lot of smack. 'Shut up, Kagome. You're going to get yourself killed here!' she mentally

screamed to herself. She began to back away as the demons stalked closer. "There's no where to go, woman. You belong to us now, and when we are through with you…" the

leader grinned wickedly, "...we will take you to our leader so that he can exterminate you." he finished off with a laugh. Kagome did what any woman could in her position,

she ran. Running as fast as she could, she was hit countless times with shrubbery, tree limbs, and you name it. Almost tripping over a root, she regained her balance and

continued running. "I will not be THAT girl who trips in every damn movie!" Kagome screamed to herself as she felt the demons hot on her trail. As a figure came out fast in

front of her, Kagome didn't have time to scream as four pairs of strong arms held tight to her. "Hmm, and what do we have here. Ah yes, a wench who does not know how to

behave." the leader spat out at her. As Kagome was held tight in the other demons arms, she kicked and tried to get away. Trying to call on her power, she was too scared

and noticed that she either couldn't or that she was right; that she didn't have any power anymore. Tearing her shirt away the leader licked his lips. "Mmm what a treat we

have here, boys. She will prove to be very good entertainment for us." the three of them laughed aloud as tears threatened to spill down Kagome's face. She wouldn't cry.

Not in front of these bastards. She had more nerve than that. Tearing away her bra, Kagome gasped and spit at him. "You bastard! How dare you think to touch me in such a

way!" she said kicking at him. The demon leader growled at her then and flashed his claws. "You are so eager to meet your end, wench? Then I shall honor your request."

With that, the leader pulled back his hand and struck her in the face causing blood to spill from her bruised and busted lips. Kagome spit the blood at him, which only angered

him more. She wasn't going to go down without a fight, that was for sure. Flexing his claws, the demon pulled back and scratched violently at her chest, drawing deep gashes

down the left side of her chest, from collar bone to the top of her breast. Kagome screamed out then, crying in pain, as her vision blurred.

Gold eyes scanned what was his camp site. He felt alone, but he liked it that way. His ward, Rin, had lived a full and happy life. She had married a nice suitor that he had

helped pick out, she had had many kids, and she died happy by his side as he held her hand. Even in death he had loved her as a daughter, though he would tell no one of

that. The demon Lord sighed. If only Jaken were here, he huffed angrily. His retainer had been seized and killed during one of the many wars fought against Karma's men.

That evil bastard who was so adamant in enslaving demons and killing off all humans. Sesshomaru listened carefully, making sure no trouble was near, before sitting down.

To his dismay, he heard a high pitched scream; a woman's scream, that vaguely sounded familiar. Curious as to whom it belonged to, he decided to set out and sate his

curiosity. Coming closer to where the scream had come from, he smelled blood, and a lot of it. His beast decided at this time, though he had no clue why, to start growling

and howling in its cage. We must go! Our chosen one, she is in trouble! It begged him. Sesshomaru's golden eye's widened at his beasts proclamation. His beast had ever

only claimed one person, and over a hundred year time, he had accepted that claim, for he felt just as strongly about this person as his beast did. That could only mean…

Sesshomaru didn't have time to think as he raced forward through the trees. Coming to a stop, he heard men laughing and a woman crying. Coming out from behind the

trees, his heart stopped. Growling, his eyes turned red and he began to change form. 'These bastards will pay for daring to touch what is mine!'
