A/N: Okay so I have decided to continue the story. Same as always, I don't own anything.
++Kagome P.O.V.++
Since the day that Choir found me under the Sacred Tree things have been going great. For once in both our lives our deepest secrets can be shared. I feel the pain in my heart lessen, and my loneliness disappear. I still miss my friends from the past, but I don't let it consume me like I once did. We have taken to training every day after school for a few hours. She is a quick learner and has come a long way. We've worked on everything from archery to swordsmanship to meditation. It has been almost a year since my break down and we are both much stronger than before. Today is the day that we put our younger years behind us, and get ready for our futures. It is graduation day from high school. For the rest of the student body it means time to pick a career and go to school for said career. For Chihiro and me it is something totally different. Neither of us wants anything to do with this place, and don't plan on going to school for something that can never make us happy. We are the outcasts of our class because we don't speak of anything but myths and legends, and have nothing to do with what they call reality. It has been decided that her and I will be taking over shrine activities for my grandfather as he is getting old.
So now here we are making our way to our seats so that the ceremony can begin. I feel it will be long and boring. It is a good thing Chihiro is next to me, or I would lose what is left of my sanity. I can't help but be worried. For the past week both of us have felt fluxes in power. There are few times I could swear I felt a demonic aura, but it vanishes almost instantly. I decided not think about it, well that was until there was a very big explosion not far from the stage.
++Normal P.O.V.++
KABOOM
There was many screams from the crowd as students, faculty and guests made a run in any direction away from the explosion. One battle hardened Miko and her friend were the only ones that ran in the direction of the explosion. High amounts of spiritual power and demonic power could be felt from where the explosion took place.
When they both got to the area what they saw astounded them. One very failure green and white dragon and a humanoid figure with long silver hair were seen fighting something that had given nightmares to Kagome for years.
Kagome stopped in her tracks with a very fearful expression on her face.
"It…can't be…"
"What?!"
"That is Naraku."
"You've got to be kidding me."
"No, I'd know that evil smirk anywhere."
"Great, like graduation day wasn't bad enough."
"True, but at least this is more interesting. It worries me though. We had enough trouble defeating him the last time, and if he finds out I still have the jewel."
"So we have to be careful. This is what we have trained for after all."
"I know, but last time things were different. Inuyasha was here."
"I know you miss him, but if u doesn't fight now you may not live to see him again. Plus I've heard how much pain and suffering that guy caused, we can't let that happen now."
"You're right, let's go kick some demon ass!"
"That's the Kagome I know!"
Both girls moved from their hiding place and went to find somewhere to change. Since the beginning of their training they had been keeping their supplies on them just in case. Once they found a storage shed they changed into their battle attire. They both wore garbs of a Miko and carried a bow and katana on them. Not long ago they had gone to and old sword shop and found two swords that were supposed to be cursed, but turned out to have some very old magic in them that worked well with their spiritual powers.
The other two that were fighting the supposed to be dead demon did not seem to be faring well. Even with their combined power he was getting the better of them. The silver haired one kept sending attacks with his sword, but they had been battling for many days and even he was nearing his limit. His dragon companion was faring worse. They both knew they would not be the victors of this battle should things keep going as they were. With a laugh another round of poison hit both of them, and it was affecting them greatly. As soon as it had come though it disappeared. Both looked to each other and then to a single arrow that had hit the ground in front of the spider demon. They then looked to what used to be a school to see two girls wearing miko garbs that were green instead of the usual red. One seemed surprised by the affect of the arrow, while the other had another arrow notched ready to fire. The spider demon looked stunned.
"It is not possible. Wench explain yourself!"
"I will not explain anything to the likes of you. I have seen all the suffering your presence in the world caused before, I will not stand by and let it happen again! Now die!"
The notched arrow was shot and accompanied by another from the other girl. The first arrow broke through the barrier the demon had tried to put up hastily. The other arrow shot him hard. In a cry of hatred he disappeared.
"Damn, looks like some things never change. He ran away again."
"Wow is all I have to say to that."
The sliver haired one ran with inhuman speed to the miko. Kagome looked up in surprise as he towered over her.
"Miko, you will explain yourself to this Sesshomaru."
"Umm…Kagome do you know him?"
"Ha…umm yeah. He is Lord Sesshomaru, lord of the west and Inuyasha's half brother. I don't believe it, what are you doing here?"
"You will answer my question wench, how are you not dead? You are nothing more than a normal wench are you not?"
"Well it seems like there is still a stick up your ass. The bone eaters well is how, and yes I am a normal human."
"What does the well have to do with anything?"
"The jewel allowed me to travel through the well back to the feudal era. That is how I met your brother and you for that matter."
"Hn"
"I have not seen a human that possessed that much power in a very long time. Not since ancient times in fact. You sent him running with two arrows."
"Him running is nothing new. As to my power, it was needed."
"Needed for what?"
"Umm…wait hey Chihiro are you okay?"
"Ha…Haku?"
The one that had been talking to Kagome stiffened not at the sound of his name, but of the name that the miko had said. A name that had haunted his dream for eight years, and the one he so wished to fulfill the promise to. Things had been busy in his world ever since he had been released. He had not had time to search for her.
"Haku, is that you?"
"Yes, yes it is."
"If you are here and not at the bathhouse, then you must be free. You promised we would see each other again. Why have you not come to find me? I have missed you and Lin, Granny and everyone so much. I came back and they called me crazy. My only way to remember you was through paintings. I moved from school to school and never made friends. That was until I met Kagome here. She turned out to be a lot like me, but I always missed you…"
The river dragon quickly pulled the now crying girl into his arms. Something he had wanted to do since he told her not to turn around all those years ago in the field.
"Chihiro, my dear Chihiro. I am so sorry for the pain that you have felt. It killed me every day that I could not come to you. Yubaba had to end my contract but then things in the spirit world became terrible. A demon by the name of Naraku started causing trouble. He had been hiding there since some 500 years ago. The ones that run the spirit world sent me to seek hope from the remaining demons. It was unknown that any humans had the strength to defeat this demon. He is said to have wreaked havoc many years ago and caused much destruction. I went to the Lord of the West for help as he had fought this demon before. He agreed to help us and we have been fighting for many days."
"Oh Haku, I'm just glad to finally see you again."
"And I you, but here is not a safe place to talk. We will need to find a safe place to hide and regain our strength for the time being. The question is where we can possibly go."
"You are welcome to come to my home. My family runs a shrine not far from here, once there I can raise a barrier until we figure out our next plan of attack and the both of you have recovered."
"This Sesshomaru is not in need of your protection Miko."
"I was there during the final battle if I do recall. Even with your amazing strength you have a limit as well. Naraku took a lot out of you that time, you have been fighting far longer this time and without the help or your brother and my friends."
"Hn"
"Then it is decided then, we will go with you to this shrine. Are you sure you possess the strength to construct and keep a barrier that is strong enough to hide us?"
"Do not underestimate me please, I have been training a lot and have good reserves."
"Okay then. Lead the way."
With that the four of them headed for Sunset Shrine unsure of that their futures held.
