Kagome could hear through the fog that clouded her mind. She could feel the aura of a Inu demon. Kagome prayed that it was Sesshoumaru. She tried to open her eyes but they felt as though they were weighted down by something. In the back ground she could hear the clangs of swords and of panting from exhaustion. Soon she was able to open her eyes slightly. She was shocked to see the Naraku was losing to the powerful Inu lord.
Kagome then realized that with each blow Sesshoumaru dealt to Naraku she was to move more. She could tell that Sesshoumaru was losing strength as he used his acid whip. Kagome felt her soul pulse from with in her. Her eyes widen when she seen Marisha standing before her. Kagome looked around and seen that time had frozen. She looked back at Marisha who was smiling.
"You have done well." Marisha told her as she walked over and waved a hand over Kagome. Kagome felt her body return to her so she sat up and swung her legs over the table. She looked over at Sesshoumaru who was just about to take Naraku's head with either his acid whip or Bakusagia. Kagome smirked, He is really good. She thought as she turned her attention back to Marisha.
"What has happened?" Kagome asked. She was unable to resist any longer. She wanted to know if Kikyo was alright. Marisha smiled softly at the young girl who they – the Kamis – gave to much to bare alone.
"We have decided to intervene." Marisha told her as she looked over at Naraku. "He was able to bring the priest here and that was not foretold to us. Since that was unable to be seen all the Kami's decided that it would be best if we take the jewel back once more." Marisha bowed her head. "I am sorry, Kagome but you must return to the heavens with us. It is the only way. Kikyo will also have to leave with us as your protector."
Kagome dropped to her knees. She looked over at Sesshoumaru who was fighting for her life without a second thought. A single tear fell from her eye. Kagome could feel her soul break at the thought of leaving the one who had made her realize that she was powerful even though she had not learned them from him, per say, but from the books she had read. She looked back over at Marisha.
"Please let Kikyo and I stay here." Kagome pleaded. "We do not wish to leave Inuyasha or Sesshoumaru. They have proven that they would protect us with their lives." Kagome walked over and knelt in front of the kami. "So please... I beg you if one must go let it be me and let Kikyo stay." She closed her eyes and hoped that it would be enough if only one of them went. With herself out of the way Kikyo would be able to live a normal life with Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru would be able to live a life and have everything he would desire.
Marisha watched and listened to the girl. Her heart went out to her, knowing that if they were to take both back Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha would indeed fight and one would die. They would fight because of the anger they would feel after both mikos were gone. Marisha closed her eyes and silently asked the other what should be done. She smiled down at Kagome as she received the decisions of the other Kamis. Marisha wondered if Kagome would realize just how lucky she truly was.
"It has come to our attentions that removing you from this world would only end in disaster. So it is the decisions of the Kamis that you are allowed to stay with Sesshoumaru and Kikyo will be allowed to stay with Inuyasha." Marisha smiled as she clapped her hands three times and the entire room was enveloped in a bright white light.
