I'm so happy I can give my readers a suspense driven plot that has them
falling out of their chairs. Keep reading I'm hoping I can finish this
story by chapter 20 or 24 who knows I really don't like sequels but if there is room in my expansive imagination for another sell-binding chapter to this story well then you will have another set of chappies to read but
until then ta-ta and enjoy chapter 14

Chapter Fourteen
The Meaning of Friendship
Miroku sat on top of a boulder Indian style his eyes closed praying silent his staff stood firmly planted in the ground before him. The six rings on his staff lay silent and still as did the spring air. Miroku was praying to his God about Kagome wondering how and why such a tragedy had to befall his comrades.
"Kami what has happened to our Kagome? I feel in my heart she is not lost but my mind screams logic, that she is gone her soul has left this world and now lies in between. Bless her of Great One that she may lie in peace or I pray we find her and put her to rest" Miroku's tone was sad and foreboding he wanted so much to believe his dear friend had somehow survived the battle with Naraku however if she did Inuyasha and/or Kikyo had a hand in her demise.
"You ask Kami for guidance monk although you yourself know thee answer" Miroku opened his eyes to the sound of a heavenly woman's voice near to him but he saw nothing. Until the rings on his staff began to move twirling around the staff causing a soft tinkling hum to surround him, and out of this came the vision of a woman with long black hair and miko armor adorned her and she had eyes that were a vivid shade of violet and her skin was slight pale tan.
Miroku stared in awe at the beautiful vision before him he slide off his perch on the rock and slowly approached the ghostly but warm spirit in front of him.
"Who are you?" his voice was but a faint whisper on the wind as the female spirit stepped forward brushing a translucent hand in front of his eyes, Miroku fell silent his eyes closed and his was gently lowered to the ground by an unseen force.
"Listen well Miroku and see all that I show you for you are one of three who must save Kagome." The woman's voice carried a stern, calm importance she wanted to make sure he knew the severity of the situation
"W-where am I and please tell me who are you" Miroku could only see the faint outline of a human female in front of him, the mental picture was hazy and in a way distorted.
"I am Midoriko's spirit, and what I show you is real monk, the darkness has consumed the light and is now in full control" Miroku focused his vision harder trying to see what was in front of him and then all the sudden the picture in front of him came speeding towards his eyes causing him to gasp in suprise.
There floating in front of him was Kagome, pale as a silk sheet and lying still, her brown hair floating about her in a vaporous haze. Miroku looked up to find Midoriko, his eyes met her's and she pointed back towards the miko floating infront of him, silently requesting his gaze stay on her alone.
The space they accupied was bright and clear so nothing was hidden from the eye, Miroku gazed on as expecting something to happen but a still silence remained.
"What is going on Midoriko, she hasn't moved or spoken what are we waiting for? Is this Kagome's soul I see before me?" Miroku started to grow uneasy from anticipation until a tender hand was placed on his shoulder reassuring him, and calming his senses. That is when it appeared a black winged yasha demon, she had blackened monarch butterfly wings and black hair that seemed to go on forever and she too was unclothed. She flew slowly circleing around Kagome's still body like the way a vulture circles it's prey, Miroku took in a sudden glance of the demon's other extremities. Long black claws sprung from her black calloused hands and her skin was a corpse pale- blue except for her hands and feet which seemed to fade into a ink well black, the hair of the demon blocked most of it's facial apperance but Miroku could see her black-red lips that shined with a eerie glow. The wings opened and closed silently and slowly causing a hypnotizing effect, all Miroku could do was stare in awe and horror at the vision before him.
"My sweet Kagome, so alone so sad but I will protect you shisuta, I will help you survive you need only me for no one else will love you, protect you, or understand you like I do" The demoness whispered these lies into Kagome's ear running her black hands down the miko's body. Miroku could feel himself getting heated for his anger was starting to become a rage as he watched this unholy thing whisper false promises into his friend's ear, once again Midoriko calmed him with a slight of hand and squeezed his shoulder slightly coming doing from her spot above him she told Miroku what he saw before him. "The demon you see is part of her Miroku, that is what she has kept inside of herself, Kagome allowed herself to fall victim to this negativity" Midoriko spoke softly and slowly so that the monk could process all the information. "So you are telling me that, that thing around Kagome is her....but how...it can't be....she is.." "Too pure" she finished his sentence knowing all to well what he was going to say. "No Miroku, no one can withstand their own feelings once it has been given up this much power let alone the power of a miko such as Kagome, no monk Kagome simply let go of her good nature she had been betrayed by someone she loved and that caused her to lose faith in humanity in the good in all of us and especially the good within herself. So Kagome decided to give up on everything" Midoriko pointed back at the scene that was playing out before them and Miroku watched in shock as he saw the demon spread out on top of the miko it's claws ran up to her thoart and then back down to her chest plate the demoness rose up straddling Kagome it's claw never leaving that one spot. "Give me you pure heart Kagome and Kurayami will take care off all the rest, just...trust...in...me..." The yasha's hair blew back revealing a identaical face as the miko before her. Miroku's eyes went wide and his mouth gaped in utter disbelief, then the demoness's clawed hand left Kagome's chest and rasied high in the air, ready to strike. Miroku watched unable to move until the loudest cry he had every heard came resounding around him as it screamed a rebuke at the demoness. Kurayami's eyes went wide and she froze above Kagome,then her gaze turned to Miroku and she looked at him with rage filled eyes and bore her black fangs before fading away into the bright light of the now uneasy space. Miroku stood unmoved as his realized it was his voice he had heard rebuking the demon, Midoriko waved a transulcent hand in front of him and he sttod in front of the boulder once again his heart pounding loudly in his chest. "Tell me what I must do to save my fiend Midoriko, I want to help her more than I want to live" his voice was shaky and his eyes watered. "Find her monk, go to the one who proclaimed his love for the miko and search her out there, she will recognize you but she will not be herself be wise and cautious of her because what you just saw is the thing that you shall face." Midoriko turned to leave as Miroku ran towards her arms out stretched. "Wait, What do I do when I find her priestess, what must I do" Miroku said aloud not caring who heard him. "You will know monk, it will come to you the very second you see her" with that her vision disappeared leaving only his staff in her wake. "God help me, help Kagome, help us all, I can't let her be taken by her demon she is too good for such a cruel fate, God help me"
