Okay, thanks for the ideas and stuff. Please tell me if this is easier to read. I am re-typing it on firefox to fix spelling errors.

DH43 helped me a lot. She dose not have stories yet though.

I do not own the characters but I do own the plot of this story so if you don't like it, write your own.

Kagome's pov

He glances at his arm in shock, just now noticing his new appendage. D-Did I do that? I thought softly. He flexes it and then glances back at me. "Such a strange woman..." he said to himself as if he thought aloud. I sigh and get off the bed, moving the dresser. I go through it and find a pair of my old pajamas. I sweat drop.

"Wow...I didn't think mom would actually keep these." I mumbled. They were from when I was 4. They were my favorite footy jamies. I put them back and find one of my dads old button down shirts. I hug it and sigh. It was a soft cotton light blue button down shirt with the sleeves rolled. up. I through my ruined one on the bed and put on my dads. It was big on me and ended below my hips. I sighed and fell back onto the bed, face up.

I unknowingly fell into deep thought while staring at the ceiling. The stairs came down and mom ran up. "Are you two okay?" She asks franticly. I smile and nod. She spots the blood, however, and was about to speak when Sesshomaru's voice interrupted. I did not even hear what was said after the first word of his sentence, for I fallen asleep."Kagome..."

He said my name...

I woke up to the sound of a deep feral growl...again. I sigh and see that not only was I in my room, for Sesshomaru was sitting on the window sill, growling at something outside. I sigh and stretch. I walk over and look over his shoulder and sigh at the scene unfolding on the steps of our shrine.

Eri, Yuka, and Ayumi were chewing out Hojo and he left with his head down. I could here the yelling and it was giving me a headache. My clock said 6;30 at night and I sigh. I unconsciously lean over Sesshomaru to open the window and wave them down. They saw me and were about you yell but I gave the 'shh' sign and waved them in. I sighed, closed the window, and sat on my bed. I could here them downstairs and began to massage the bridge of my nose with my thumb and pointer fingers. They ran upstairs and slammed the door open, making me cringe. Yuka noticed and covered the other two's mouths and said a quiet hello.

Eri frowned. "You look like DEATH Kagome!" She said in a hushed tone while feeling my forehead. They sat on my bed and began to tell me what they said to Hojo. I sweat dropped as they said all the curses. Mostly from Ayumi. "I never would have guessed you would have those words in your vocabulary." I said while stretching again. They all smiled.

There was a knock on the door. "Come in momma!" I say with a smile. She opens the door with ease while caring several cups of tea. "I made some tea for you all if you don't mind! And its good to see your awake dear. You nearly gave me a heart attack you know." She said while handing them out. She gave one to Sesshomaru, causing the others to acknowledge his presence. He nodded in thanks to momma and she left. They stared.

I sipped my tea and sighed. I seem to be doing that a lot lately. "It's rude to stare guys. He has been here the whole time." I said while they nod. It was silent and my eyebrow began to twitch. Yuka stood. "Your related to Inu whats-his-face aren't you? Cause if that sleaze ball even thinks of coming here again we'll Fu-" "YUKA!" I say. "Watch your language! YES, They are related but to associate the too will most likely be your downfall. And besides, if he thinks he can touch me than he is just as blind as he is stupid!" I say while i sip my tea, eyebrow twitching. It grew silent. And then...

My eyes widen. Lord Sesshomaru ...chuckled. I sniffed my tea. It seemed normal. I look back at him who was looking outside. "What about my statement is so amusing?" I question with a raised eyebrow. He looked at my reflection I could tell.

"You were so fiercely loyal to my dimwitted half brother for such a long time, I find it amusing how he lost your loyalty. I had thought for a short while that he had an actual brain in there, however he was foolish to loose a strong companion with with such little effort." He said. I sigh. "It's not like I didn't warn him and give him enough chances." I mumble and sip my tea.

I finish my tea and offer to take the empty cups. I brought them down to the kitchen while everyone fallowed. I sat down at the table and smiled. It was around noon on a Saturday. I finished the exams for the year two weeks ago, so I don't know the results yet. I don't see why Inuyasha would use tests as an excuse when I said I was done with them... I stretch again and smile. "So why did you guys come up any way? Not that I'm ungrateful and all-" I stopped when they all smiled brightly. TOO brightly if you ask me.

"Whats going on?" I asked uneasy. Yuka spoke up. "Well we ran into the principal on the way to visit you. And he gave us your test grades."She beamed. Eri was next. "And we are really really sorry but we HAD to peek! AND guess WHAT!?" by now,everyone was in the kitchen, Sesshomaru at the door.

They took a deep breathe and at the top of there lungs screamed "YOU PASSED!" while shoving a piece of paper in my face with my grades. 80's and above. I smiled and was about to speak when my three spontaneous friends grabbed me by the arms and dragged me back upstairs, yelling in excitement about summer plans. I tried numerous time to shush them but they just got loader. Unfortunately my patience snapped.

"SHUT UP!!" I yelled. They all stared. Then I realized it...I was glowing pink. I calmed down and sighed as the glow subsided. Great JUST GREAT. I just let them see my miko powers. I REALLY need to work on my anger issues. I can't lie to them any more, I don't have the heart, but I cant really explain it either, they wouldn't believe me...Maybe...Maybe I can show them...I know I haven't perfected it yet...but...it's all I got. I looked at them and sighed.

"I guess I should explain, but you wouldn't believed me if I told you.But..." I looked them in the eyes. "I think I can show you...if you'll let me, that is." They looked at each other and then finally nodded. I nodded as well in acceptance and put my hands out. They looked at me and hesitantly took mine. I closed my eyes and gathered all my memories from the day was pulled into the well to this very moment in time. Then , I copied them and sent them to my now growing nervous friends. I let goof there hands as they fell to the floor, out cold as they watched my memories.

I Stood, unsteady at first and took a 5 minute shower, coming out in comfy dark wash jeans, a light blue silk halter top and attempting to dry my below ass hair furiously with the towel as I headed back to my room. I opened the door cautiously to see them awake and on my bed. I sat backwards on my desk's chair and leaned on its back. IT was silent for a few moments until Ayumi cleared her throat. I took a deep breathe.

"Kagome, no matter what happened or will happened, I will always be your friend. If you have to stay in the past to continue your journey, then I will except that. But on one condition." Gulp ah oh "Seeing ass Mike and my mother are getting back together..." Everyones eyes widen. Mike was an abusive step father. "I have been training for when he moves in so I could defend myself but...I don't know if it will be enough...so...maybe I can stay here and maybe go with you to the feudal era sometimes?"

We all stared. Then I stood up and hugged her. Momma walked in and hugged her too. "Of course you can dear.You all can if you wanted too. We have the large extra bed room we can fix up so no one will know if you didn't want them too." We rocked her back and forth. "Kagome..." I looked at Yuka and Eri. "Can...Can We stay too...I mean our parents went to some weird resort thing and came back saying that the therapist said we should move out so they can be a better couple and...well..." Momma interrupted. "I meant it when I said you can stay." I nodded in agreement. We had a huge group hug.

After some crying and such, we went downstairs so they could call there parents and we could tell Grandpa and Souta. They were talking to Sesshomaru. He then went outside and I followed. He turned to me and we made eye contact. "I appreciate all of your help, Lord Sesshomaru. I hope I was not a bother." I say while giving a long overdue bow. "Rise, Kagome. I was simply repaying you for your efforts. I would hope that we meat again, on less compromising times." I nod. "I would love too. Until then, if you need anything at all, like helping Rin through her time, I will be there." I say with a smile. After a moment, he gave a nod and then disappeared into the well house,fallowed by a pale blue light.

I turned towards home. I ran in and through on some lace up sandals and caught up with the three. "LETS GO! we need to get your stuff! You have seen Shippou train me in shrinking things! Just get a bag and we can go! Your parents aren't home so we come and go in a few minutes!" I say as they get ready. We ran out and emptied there rooms in 3 hours flat. I was exhausted. "I never knew you guys had so much STUFF!" I said as we came into the dojo.The door was locked and I jump up and flip, grabbing the stairs handle and going in. They all came up as I planned out the room. Then I let my powers fly.

After about fifteen minutes, I was done and collapsed on the large queen bed. There were four evenly place in the 30 by 40 ft room. Two on one end and two on the other. A vanity dresser in between the too that was about 5 feet long. The trapdoor was in the center of the room. Each bed had new cream sill sheets with a satin comforter and pillows of different colors coordinating to who owned it. Dark green for me, Blue for Yuka, Red for Eri, and Purple for Ayumi. The beds were on the left and right of the room. The front side which held a window that looked out to the house had a desk under so we can do work. on each side were chests to hold random things. On the other side were built in shelves now halfway filled with books, scrolls, and such that may be important like books on demons, herbs, poisons, and fighting.

In the middle of the shelves was a door. Behind it was a small hallway with too doors on the left and right. right led to a nice size bathroom that was bigger than the one in the house. the other to a meditation room with a large armoir and a window seat. I was on the right with Aumyi's bed. We all plopped down to relax. I was going to stay up here with them so I took some things from my room. I sighed. "What an exhausting day." I stretched.

"Hey Kagome..." I looked at Yuka. "How will we go through the well if it hasn't let anyone else through besides Sesshomaru-sama?" I thought for a sec."Well...I thought it had to do with the jewel shards at first because Souta didn't go through cause he didn't have one. Same with Shippou. And I couldn't come through when I didn't have them. But I don't have them now and can go back and forth. Same with Inuyasha. Not like he would...I think It's because the well recognizes my aura and lets me through. And I can carry my bags through, so maybe if I was holding you, I can bring you with me." I explained.

"No matter how strong you are, that would get tiring. Maybe only one of us should go with you at a time and switch every time you go back. That way one of us can help you there and the other two can work things out here. I mean, like helping around the shrine and doing odd jobs. That way, there is less hassle." I thought it over and nodded. "Then we would have to get a bag and such set up for tonight because I was planning on leaving after dinner. I was only supposed to be here a few hours tops but that didn't go to well. So we need to decide who goes first and to get stuff ready for when you guys go. So that means shopping." We all nod.

"Wellll...I think Ayumi should go first." Eri said. I nod. "Yeah, she has had some training in self defense and she needs to be away more considering the circumstances." Yuka agreed. "So thats that. now we have to get you some stuff. Like a bag." We headed out shopping and got her a bag like mine, though I got a new one that was green, and such along those lines. We ate and then headed for the well.

Surprisingly, Ayumi was not frightened like I thought she would be. We sat on the edge of the well and I wrapped my arm around her waist. We both took a deep breath, waved to my family and friends, and hopped in. I was ecstatic when the same pale blue light enveloped us both. We landed softly on the old dirty wells ground, and light from the setting sun lit the way as we clime up. Ayumi gasped at the sigh.

We had a perfect view of the sunset. It was just above the trees and we watched as the sky turned orange and purple and then blue as the sun became absent. "I love the night sky here. We can see so much more than at home." I said as I got off the lip of the well and helped her up. She nodded and we headed towards the village where we were going to stay until we could search for jewel shards.

We talked softly on the way about what kind of training she has had. She had a friend teach her how to use a sword and a heavy mace. Not exactly what you would picture her using, but so much has changed since I first fell into the well. And even more since I fell out of love with Inuyasha. I sigh and stared at the ground until Ayumi's voice brought me out of my treturous thoughts.

"Don't worry Kagome, you'll find the right guy. He wasn't the one and your heart knows it. Its your head that has to catch up. You've been through a lot and your heart took control before you could get hurt anymore." she said while smiling her caring smile.She was right too.

We walked into the edge of the village and down to Kaede's hut was. She must have sensed my arrival for she came out with a smile. "Ah, Kagome, ye are back! I thought ye would be gone only a few hours, not all morning. And ye brought a companion with ye?" I nod and introduce them and the explain the whole thing. The old preistess nods in acceptance and gives a smile. "A friend of Kagome is a friend of mine. Its a pleasure lady Ayumi."

Ayumi blushed. "The pleasure is mine Lady Keide, you have taken wonderful care of Kagome and her friends while here. I hope I can do the same." I smiled.they'll get along beautifully. Ayumi loves to learn and will enjoy staying with her...I miss the others though. Inuyasha better have not hurt my son!...I sigh. Shippou is like the son I always wanted. and probably never have. We walked in and set things up for tomorrow. Kaede filled us in on how the search for shards and fights against Naraku are going.

Apparently, Kikyou shattered the jewel shard Naraku held. "hmmmmm...This may be a blessing in disguise. Now we can gather sthe shards again and hopefully get more then Naraku. And I am more skilled then before so I wont have to worry about Kikyo stealing the shards we gather." I thought about loud. Keade shook her head. "No my child, when my dead sister Kikyo shot her arrow at Naraku, she hatred and malice towards him engulfed her arrow with darkness. When the jewel shattered, the shards were still tainted. If Anyone who dose not have purification powers touches them, they will harmed or will be taken over by the malice of the tainted shards."

She pulled out a box that seemed to be glowing a dark and sinister purple. She opened the box to revile a dark shard. As soon as it opened, I felt the call of the jewel. The box was the size of one an engagement ring would go in. I reach my hand towards it and it lights up with the light purple pure aura. "It seems, you have the power to purify the dark shards, Kagome. You may take this box to hold the shards in after purified so that you are not hunted for them. I my self was not able to purify them." She sighed and then there was a long silence as we all drifted into thought. But it was interrupted.

"KAGOMME!" A missed yell sounded. The door to the hut burst open as my companions enter. Within a few moments I was on the bottom of a dog-pile style bear hug. After a few moments they let go and I introduced Ayumi, retold the story and it was there turn to explain. Miroku started. "Well not long after you left Lady Kagome, Inuyasha and Kikou went ahead of us and would only come back for Inuyasha to eat. Then after a few days we didn't see him at all. They had went ahead and were four villages ahead. We finally caught up to tell him were going to come back to the village when we saw Kikyo break the jewel with a malice covered arrow. We told him the situation and he shrugged and left with Kikyo...but..."There was a guilty silence. Sango cleared her throat. "On his neck,..and hers...were mating marks...they are mates Kagome."

I blink, Digest it, and shrug. The four stare. I sigh. "I don't really care, you guys. I guess my heart fell out of love with him before my head, and now my head is catching up. Don't feel bad for me, I am...strangely...perfectly fine with all of this. I was planing to go off after the shards alone with Ayumi and a horse or two...but now we can all go together after we rest. Tomorrow I need to find Ayumi a battle mace. not the ones on chains." They all nod and seem to beam at me. they are...proud that I am not in love with Inuyasha...well I would be too...I was so hung up over a nit wit. We all got cozy and fell asleep.

We had rested for a day and left towards the nearest shard. It was moving about. It was horribly tainted. And so we're the others we found on the way after the original. After four days, we had acumilated five more shards. I sighed. It was becoming irritating. So Miroku finally sighed. "This demon seems to be dragging us everywhere. We are even in the western lands now. But hopefully Sesshomaru will not try and kill us because of his meetings with Lady Kagome." He said while stretching his tired limbs. It was almost night time so me and Ayumi set up camp while Miroku gathered wood and Sango and Shippou gathered water and looked for a hot spring.

I sigh and layed out my sleeping bag. Sango and Shippou came back with a smile as the sun began to set. "There is a spring near by!" they squeak. Our eyes lit up as we cheered. Miroku came in and I set up the wood, Shippou set the fire and I began to make Ramen. Healthy, no, but it was quick and filling. WE finished and left for the springs. Kilala, Shippou, and Miroku stayed back as guard. Us girls could defend our selves. Ayumi was given a heavy mace from a traveling group of warriors on there way home. I had my sais, and song her hericotse. And than there was my purification aura.

We waded into the the steaming hot water and sighed in comfort and relife. "I can see why you like it here Kagome. "Ayumi exclaimed as we sat on a natural self of rock that was surprisingly comfy. "You have a second family here, the air is clean, you help people, the night sky, the sunset, and that white haired demon lord." At the end my face turned red and I glared at her. She chuckled and Sango looked confused until here eyes widened and she burst into a fit of laughter. I glare but it must have not been so convincing, seeing as i was red and all.I do NOT like Sesshomaru! I sigh as they laugh. "I don't have a demon lord you jerk." I murmur. She shakes her head and I look up at the sky through the wafting steam.

"It's ok to be uptight about it. Your heart may be going after someone..even if it feels too soon to your head, your heart has already move on." Sango said. I sigh. "I don't really know how I feel about him but I know he is and ally.And he may have said he wanted to meet again, but that just means under a different circumstance. Like me not being in an unconscious state and him not being half dead." I said while looking at the water. I then sunk down into the water until my nose made ripples on the water as I breathed.

It was calm for a few more minutes ...until my head shot up. "What is it Kagome?" They asked at the same time. I instantly send a barrier up around the camp and around the spring. "The demon we were chasing is coming at us fast." I say alarmed. Sango's head snapped in its direction. "Demons are coming." She said. And not a moment later, hundreds of smaller demons ran by, not even giving us a glance, to afraid of what ever they were running from. And than something red and silver ran by, killing at random, it was surounded by the glow of a tainted jewel...but it wasn't Inuyasha...

There, covered in so many demon's blood, eyes red and purple tinged, shirt long gone and no armor, was a posessed Sesshomaru. We gasped. He was killing anything that was slow and didn't even notice us under the protection of the barrier. But When he killed, Every hit was hesitant, even it it was slight. "He's fighting the shards darkness!" I say with a gasp. "You have to help him Kagome! Where is the shard?!" Ayumi yelled. I unconsciously looked. In his throat...but how would it get there. Maybe it attacked him like when the dark preistess's did to me... My eyes widened when I saw something in his eyes. I couldn't identify it...regret maybe... He was jumping from to rock above the water. Once again my body over rid my thoughts and I stepped out of the barrier.

If the others were screaming for me, I didn't here. He stopped mid swipe as the rest fled, motionless like a statue. I stood with the water at my ribs. His head slowly turned towards mine. His arm came back to his side and he turned fully towards me. I was worried, but even more determined. No one I care about will ever be hurt again. Not while I'm here. I didn't even realize I thought that and didn't bother to dwell on it, for the demonically enraged lord of the west was getting ready to ripp open my chest cavity and through my organs about. He stepped forward and smirked, but frowned. I didn't move.

sesshomarus pov

Run you dumb bitch! I'll kill you if you don't go back into that barrier of yours. I thought as I continued the fight against the shard of malice that invaded my body. She than took a deep breathe, closing her eyes, as my body took the chance to close the distance between us. I was to my waist in water. Then everything went red.

Kagome's pov

I see the rest of purples disappear in front of me as he reached a hand back, his claws glowing. Someone yelled behind me. "Persue him Kagome! Hew is still a male! use it to your advantage!" I think it was Miroku. Ill kill him later. I though as my body obeyed. I put my arm up and gently clasped my hair around his raised one. I stepped forward some more and we were less than a foot apart. I never let my eyes wander. He bared his teeth and bent his head down some to most likely naw my face off, but I was faster and put my lips to his adam's apple. I had purified the shard and it was in my mouth in a flash, and the limp demon lord slid to the side. I grabbed him by the arm pits and dragged him into the barrier where Miroku and the other had joined us, the camp now set up.

It must have taken a while for me to drag him over. I glare at Miroku and he turns so we could dress...well I put on a bathing suit, full body black with slits on the stomach. I got a few towels and went back to the partial submerged demon lord. "Are you sure he wont hurt you Kagome?" Sango asked warningly. I nod. "If he tires to its cause I hurt his pride." I say and sit next to him, washing his hair of the leftovers of the dead. soon I was cleaning his claws. It was sad really. there was dried blood and poison and it stretched around his fingertips. "Well...at least your partly clean now."

"Hmmm..." The deep, tired, voice caused meto jump. I look at the partial open amber eyes. I sigh and cover my heart. "You didnt have to scare me you know. "I murmur while conintuing the cleaning of his nails. I flinched. "I flung a chunk of something over my shoulder wnd shook my head. "I dont even wasnt to think about what that was." "Then don't." he said as he ripped his hadn from my grasp. He tried to stand but I took his arm and pulled him down. "You are tired and seeing as you were killing nonstop for days, the tainted shard drew out your power. You should dreest for at least one night before leaving.
