Pain shot through her body, like electricity, it was the only thing she could think of and feel. She heard their worry voices, their screams and cries. But most of all, she heard him. She heard him yelling and begging her to wake up. For her not to do this again. She wanted to tell him it would be okay, that she was going to be okay. But, she didn't know that. It was hard to hear his sweet deep velvet voice crack with worry and pain over her. That sweet voice she loved to hear in the middle of the night, telling her not to worry. That he would protect her, glancing around all she notice was those doors again.

Getting up she walked towards the door she went through earlier, but it was locked.

"It won't open you know. You aren't dead, just sleeping," A child like voice drew her back from the door, glancing over to the voice she seen a younger version of herself. Her hair was shorter and lighter, her small dress was a light green with clocks on it.

"If I'm sleeping, why am I here?"

"You're confused, you used too much energy on bringing them back. The only way to wake up is to let out your beast." The younger version of her laughed and ran off. Could she really do that? Would she have control or kill everyone?

Inuyasha sat with his back against the wall, He came back just to see her fall to the floor bleeding. He rushed to grab her and took her back to her room. Why? Why would she do this? He was grateful yes, but not if it meant her life! Damnit, didn't the wench know he needed her?

"Koinu?"

His head shot up and his glare soften, "Hai mother?"

She walked over and kissed the tip of his ear, "Rest my child, your mate will be fine. The Kami himself couldn't take her away from you even if he tried."

He stuttered with words," Mo...Mother! We are not mates…She's just a friend."

His mother laughed and rubbed his ear softly," Ay Koinu, I may have been dead but I've seen how you looked at her. You shot past the young Miko even to get to her. You didn't even notice that she was brought back also. You can't fool your mother Koinu."

Smiling softly he nodded his head, he couldn't fool his mother that's for sure. Glancing over towards the girl, no the woman who has held his heart since she released him from the tree. He smiled softly and kissed her head softly. Leaning back against the wall he closed his eyes and fell into a slight slumber.

She sat against a black door, she could hear the cries and screams inside and it rattled her soul. The piercing screams and cries for help. She knew what was behind that door, but she didn't want to open it. She heard the starches on the wall, the howls in her head. She wanted it, IT wanted out. Burying her face in her hands she sobbed softly, she tried so hard to control the beast. To control that part of her that she hated. She tried so hard to protect everyone she loved from that part and now it was her only escape? Standing up slowly, she took that shaky breath and opened the door. Sitting in the middle of the room was a very much younger version of herself. No older than 9, her hair was an ice like blue, her eyes were completely white with a tiny speck of sliver around them. Her claws were longer and a deep blue, black strips covered her face and body, with a hue of gold mixed along them.

"Ka..Kagome."

The child's head snapped up and growled at her.

"It's okay, Im you, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry I locked you away. I was scared. I..We could have died that night! Can't you see…? I did this to save us!" She was sobbing in her hands, she couldn't breathe or speak anymore. She felt the claws dig into her hips, looking down she seen the smaller girl hold onto her. Taking in a shaky breath she held the girl to her, she smelt the fear and pain raiding off the girl. It was starting to make her sick. Dropping to her knees she looked her in the eyes.

"I should have accepted you, you are me. Would you like a name? I could give you one. We could clean this room up and make it pretty. I promise,"

The young girl nodded and grabbed her hand, leading her out the room and towards the light.

Moaning softly she tossed and turned, looking to her side she seen a very human Inuyasha.

"Ka..Kagome! You're awake!" He jumped to his feet and rushed to her side, taking her hand into his.

"Mm. Inuyasha? What happen..?"

"Baka! Baka wench! How could you do this to m- us!? What the hell were you thinking Wench?! You could have fucking died!"

She smiled softly and wrapped her arms around him tightly, she felt him held her against his chest.

"Please don't ever do that again. Kami Kagome, I can't lose you. Thank you for what you did, but if it meant your life on the line please don't ever do it again."

He knew this was the only time he could tell her, damn human emotions.

"Hai Inu, I won't…but did it work? Are they here?"

He shook his head, laughing softly. "Hai Kags, they're here. Would you like to meet them?"

Nodding excitedly she looked up at him with pleading eyes," Hai! Please Inu-Kun. I'll be careful and walk slowly!"

Full on laughing he shook his head again and picked her up, careful of her stomach he carried her down to where everyone was.

"KAGOME!"

She smiled at her friends and waited till Inuyasha sat down with her in his lap, oh the looks she was getting from Kikyo. Grinning slightly she opened her arms for her brother.

"Souta!"

He rushed into them, careful of her stomach and held onto her.

"I was so worried Kagome, you were bleeding a lot. "

"Hai child, we were are worried." His voice boomed like thunder, looking up she seen the man her father was best friends with, The Great lord of the west.

"I'm sorry to worry you all, but I had to do this." Glancing around at her small pack she smiled, "For them and you all."

He nodded his head and smiled towards his mate, he was glad to be here with his sons and best friend. He look towards his son InuYasha. He grew into a fine man, had his own pack and someone to protect, he was proud of the boy. And, Sesshomaru had a young ward as well. He glanced back at Kagome and smiled, because of this one girl.

"I say, I think a feast is in order, wouldn't you agree my dear friend?"

Froster looked over towards his father and grinned," FOOD?!"

Everyone laughed and smiled, it was good to forget their worries for a while. At least till they had a full stomach.

Later that night, Kagome waddled outside and sat against the tree of truth. She couldn't stop the pain in her head, it was like before when she lost control.

Flash back

A young 8 year old Kagome sat on top of the old well, looking down at her hands. She didn't think she was weird or a freak, so why did the other children? She knew she was a half demon, but that wouldn't. That shouldn't be a reason to call her names. Would it? Hoping off she dashed over to her house, her head was pounding and all she wanted to do was lay down under her father's tail.

Before she could even get to the door, her body throbbed. Her nails grew longer, her short hair was now down to her ankles and pure ice blue. Her fangs grew twice as long and her eyes went completely white. She looked up to the sky and let out a howl and took off to the woods behind her house. She starched and tugged at her skin till it bleed. Her claws went for her throat and didn't stop till she was coughing up blood. Every word repeated in her head.

"If I'm so worthless maybe, maybe I should kill myself."

Mutt

Half breed

Worthless pup

Stupid brat

Your mother should have killed you

With a scream she thrust her own hand into her chest and pierced her heart. Not even a second later, her father ran towards her and grabbed her.

"Koinu! No, Pup, look at Alpha."

Not getting a response he used every bit of energy he had left and headed towards the well, once he reached it he didn't waste time jumping in. Once his feet touched the bottom he dashed towards his sister in law village.

End of Flash back,

Gripping her head she looked around before dropping her sword. She sat against the tree and smiled, she used to love being a child here and playing under this very tree. She'd climb to the top and watch the sun rise and set. Sighing she looked towards the figures that were coming out. Leaning back she waited for them to sit across from her, it didn't shock her to see her pack and people she brought back.

"Kagome!"

She smiled softly as souta curled up against her side and shippo curled against the other.

"Hai Sou-Sou?"

"Your hair looks awesome!"

Laughing softly she kissed his head and hummed him back to sleep. Glancing around she notice Sango and Miroku watching her.

"Oi, Out with it you two."

"Kagome…We thank you for what you did but why?"

"I did it for you all, as I said earlier. I wasn't going to die. I know it may have look like it but I spent a while practicing while I was sleeping. Besides, the only way I could have died is if I didn't do it in time. I just too much energy doing so which is why I passed out."

Miroku nodded his head and smiled," Thank you Lady Kagome. Thank you for not allowing the wind tunnel to return to my father's hand too."

She smirked and laughed," IT did return, but he has control of it. He can make it appear and disappear as he pleases. The joy of being a mutt Goddess. Now, with that being said, I did bring back your brother. BUT since he is still with Naraku so it's hard to get him here without him knowing that I'm back. I suggest we head out early. The children will stay here with my mom and whoever wants to stay here. But this ends now, Naraku has caused too much pain for my taste and I will not let this happen any longer."

Standing up she stretched and almost fell over when she was forced into a hug. Sango and Miroku grabbed her and held her tight.

"Aw what the hell," InuYasha stood up and wrapped his arms around them and growled," We end this. We will win and we will bring everyone home."

She smiled at her friends and nodded her head. How could she be so dense to think they'd hate her? For once, her demon side felt calm.
