Hi guys! Sooo, I recently realized that I put dividers between scenes in my stories when I'm writing them, and for some reason won't show them! D: So I apologize profusely if you get confused when I'm writing.

Thanks so much for being patient with me, seriously, I write when I get inspired, and one of the scenes in this chapter just popped into my mind while I was listening to Kikyo's theme and reading the comments about how she's just misunderstood. To be honest, I do not hate on Kikyo, she's just an easy scapegoat. Likewise, I do not love Kagome, her character is just easy to write about, because no matter how we portray her, it's true to some extent. She may not always be insanely beautiful, but she has her moments. She may not always be strong, but she shows growth. She is not always crying and yelling and complaining, but there are numerous accounts of her doing so. But that's just my two cents. =]

Disclaimer: Noooo I don't own Inuyasha at all. *Sigh* As if I'm talented enough to even draw a rock in that series -.-


*Kagome's dream*

Kagome felt herself run through a beautiful meadow, one that she was sure she had never seen before, but for some reason it felt so familiar to her. Running up a hill, she saw a woman dressed in ancient priestess garbs, similar to the ones she had to wear when she was helping Gramps around the shrine. Taking in the beauty of her form, she saw her body move to sit by the woman. At this point, she saw the woman's face and felt shock when she saw that it looked so similar to hers.

The woman spoke softly, "Kagome, you must know that the end is drawing near. We cannot keep running from him." Kagome's head nodded and she heard herself reply, "Yeah, I don't know how we're going to win, though, Kikyo. I mean, he has more of the jewel than we do plus his never ending army of guts and tentacles." She felt her face scrunch and her stick stuck out in disgust. Chuckling quietly, the woman, Kikyo reprimanded her gently, "Now is not the time to make fun of the matter, sister. You know what we must do. We much approach the Lord of the West himself and ask for is assistance."

Groaning, Kagome sighed, "Are you kidding me? Sesshoumaru would eat us alive! He's rather 'dirty his pristine claws with filthy human blood' than help us." Kikyo shook her head at the younger miko's antics, "Perhaps, but you must know that Lord Sesshoumaru feels anger towards the filthy hanyou himself. Have you forgotten how the child, Rin was kidnapped? Lord Sesshoumaru wants his own revenge as well." Nodding in despair, Kagome relented, "Oh alright alright, we'll go talk to him. Man, if I knew that calling you sister came with Sesshoumaru in the package as well as everyone else who joined our group, I might have thought twice! Kikyo, he and Inuyasha are going to murder each other the minute we look away." Kikyo smiled and looked at the sky, "Then we should be careful not to let our eyes stray."

*End dream*

Kagome felt the sun beating through her eyelids as she groaned and tried to burrow under her sheets. Remember her dream, she suddenly sat back up, 'What was that all about? Why did that woman seem so familiar? How come that name, Sesshoumaru, hurts to much whenever it comes to mind? Ughhh I'm going crazy.' At that moment, Kagome's mother, Mia, walked into her daughter's room. She had been worried ever since Kagome was found in the well house with no memories of the past 6 years of her life. Mia had been sure that the well was sealed once her daughter mated to her demon lord.

"Momma, I had the strangest dream." Kagome started. Mia looked up, surprised, "What was it about, dear?" Kagome took in a breath, "Well it started with me running through this gorgeous meadow. Momma, the skies were so blue and the air was so clean and fresh and all of nature was so happy. And then I saw this woman who looked so much like me, but older! And I heard myself call her Kikyo. And we talked about the end, or something, and how we needed help from this, this, Lord Sesshoumaru. I don't know, Momma, it was all so strange, yet familiar to me."

Mia smiled inwardly, perhaps things were looking up for her daughter after all, "Well, I don't know honey, but maybe you'll keep dreaming about these people. If you can remember this dream so well, maybe this is important. Maybe the Gods themselves are sending you a message. But, be sure not to mention this to your grandfather, he'll keep you busy with questions for the next month!" Giggling, Kagome hugged her mother, "Thanks Momma, I really needed that." Mia kissed her daughter's forehead and left her room, reminding her that breakfast was in an hour.

Deciding on a quick shower before breakfast, Kagome quickly hopped in and out, done in 10 minutes. Kagome called out as she walked down the steps, "Hey Momma? Let's watch a movie today!" Kagome heard her mother reply, asking what movie. 'I don't know, let's stay home and watch a good Disney movie." She entered the kitchen and started to set the table. "Alright, dear, you pick a movie and we'll watch it after breakfast." Kagome smiled, "Let's watch Pocahontas. I haven't seen the 10th anniversary edition, yet." Mia nodded and then went back to her omellettes.


Snarling, Naraku tore apart his pillow, 'KANNA! I thought you told me that those mid blocks of hers were FINE! She just had a goddammned MEMORY! NOT A DREAM! How on EARTH can that filthy little weakling break though my strongest mind barriers?" Kanna stared at her master, "I am not sure. Everything you did was so flawless, master. Perhaps her mating with the youkai has strengthened her some how?" Naraku looked up, "Yes, yes that must be it. In that case, we must be patient. the bond has been broken, it is only a matter of time before whatever traces of that bastard are left leave her body. And then, the Shikon will be mine."

Glancing warily at the man, Kanna decided that Naraku had gone completely insane and that the time was arriving for her to make her move. Withdrawing to the shadows, she quietly bid her master farewell and disappeared.

Naraku sat at the desk in his dark room and picked up his pencil, smirking as he thought of how stupid the little miko was. How easy it was to tear her apart from her mate and how easy it was to kidnap her and replace her with a dying copy of herself that simply disappeared afterward. Cackling, he sketched a picture of the tainted jewel as he obsessively crooned over it, "Mark my words, Sesshoumaru, you will feel my wrath. Not today, but soon, so very soon. You will be attacked in the worst way ever and you will fall when you see your precious mate give herself to me."


Mia and Kagome curled up on the couch as they both cried as the movie came to a close, "Man, I don't think I'm ever going to get tired of that movie, Momma. Especially that version. I mean, like at the end of If I Never Knew You, when she's at the river and she sees John Smith and herself, and like before that when she saw Kocoum but she really didn't want to marry him and AUGH! Too bad the sequel wasn't as good." Nodding, Mia agreed, "Yes and then when they sang together right before they kissed at the end! Perfect movie." The two women laughed and got up, cleaning up after themselves.

"Hey Momma, when is Souta coming home?" Mia looked up at her daughter, "Well I'm not sure, I mean. He usually comes home for vacations, but I mean, I won't make him. I do write letters and ask, though. But now that he's studying in Okinawa, I guess he's made new friends." Kagome looked at her mother in shock and thought to herself, 'When did Souta go off to college? I always knew he was a smart kid, skipping two grades and all, but he was 10! I know he was 10 just yesterday!" Nodding weakly at her mom, she spoke up, "I think I'm a bit tired, for some reason. I'll just go take a nap, alright?"

Mia looked at her daughter's retreating for and sighed, she had hoped at the fates would have been kind to her and supplied at the very least fake memories to replace the 6 years that were lost, but apparently not. Sighing, she entered the kitchen to see what they had so she could make lunch.


"Master, the girl has absolutely no memories of the last 6 years. To her, she is still 15, not 21. Why did you make such a mistake?" The white-haired boy scolded Naraku. The said man scowled, "I didn't think of it at the time. I had to prepare things so quickly, because he hardly ever leaves her side. I had to act quickly!" Naraku would have killed the insolent boy if he hadn't created him from his heart. Killing the boy would eliminate himself as well.

"Fool, I thought you were smarter than that, Master. Now she'll be even more suspicious of her returning memories. 6 years is a large gap, you could have done something when she got back. She was asleep for three days!" The normally expressionless boy nearly snarled in frustration. Turning away, he walked towards the shadows of Naraku's room, "Well you better fix it some how. We're losing our grip on her as her powers are awakening again. We cannot lose this time around."

Glaring at his incarnation's retreating back, he thought to himself, 'Ungrateful bastard, I created him. He should not be able to reprimand me so. Either way it doesn't matter, once I get my hand on that jewel I'll be rid of the brat for good. Now all I have to do is entice the girl, stupid as she is, she'll fall for my tricks easily.'

Scowling, he nodded firmly, "Without her precious mate, the girl is useless and will not figure me out."


I started this chapter pretty much a day after I posted up the last one. But I couldn't think of what else to write towards the end. I wanted to cut it off at an earlier point, but that would have made it so short =[. But yeahh, I'll try to update weekly, but most likely I'll update at least once every two weeks. Hopefully I'll figure out what exactly I'm looking for in the story, soon.

Review? =]
