Chapter 12

She had stayed calm as long as she could. She had no idea where she was or why she couldn't move. The pain that surrounded her was unbearable and now the only thing, the only person whose aura had helped keep her calm had left. She could feel the pain dimming but that still didn't help. She wanted the person that had kept her calm, the only aura that she could trust completely. She had no idea why but she couldn't remember a thing, the only thing that was on her mind as she her eyes shot open was to find the aura that she needed by her side.

'Where…why…who…' were the one of the many questions that ran through her head. 'Who am I?'

Once she had opened her eyes she had been greeted by the full moon that hung above her. She could see the herbs as they slowly started to disappear from the water. And as they disappeared she found that she was growing strong, the pain was starting to fade into nothing and she could not move her body so that she could jump out of the water.

"What's going on?" Sango asked as she and Miroku stood up as the water began to glow with the light of the moon.

"Interesting, I did not foresee this ever happening." Lilith was heard.

"Mother, what do you see?" Sesshomaru growled.

"Wait, is Kagome dying?" Miroku asked in a worried voice.

"No, it would seem that my former mate has blessed this girl. It would seem he and his human trust this girl and wish for her to be with the hanyou." Lilith answered.

"What do you mean?" Sango asked.

"You will see." Sesshomaru growled as he and his mother began to move away from the lake.

"What's going on?" Sango asked.

"Sango, I suggest we move back, someone Kagome has woken up and we are unsure of what her state will be." Miroku stated as he caught on.

"Very good monk you will help us subdue her if she if uncontrollable." Lilith was heard.

Before Sango could yell at the two that they were not going to do anything to Kagome, the water of the lake was thrown into the night sky as the now inu hanyou miko jumped out of the water. Knowing that she would have to get dressed, Sesshomaru turned his back, while forcing the monk to do the same so that the two women that were with him could help the hanyou girl change into the demon clothing he had gotten for her. Sango looked at her friend in shock. She was no longer the miko she once knew, Kagome now had claws, long hair with silver tips, the same dog ears as Inuyasha and a fangs that were longer then their hanyou friend. She was now an inu hanyou just like she had wanted to become.

"Where am I? Who am I?" Kagome's now demon voice was heard.

"Kagome…your name is Kagome. We're friend. You need to change." Sango's gentle voice was heard.

"Unless you would like to stay in those human clothing that will not protect you." Lilith added.

"Kagome…my name is Kagome." she replied as she allowed the two to help her change.

"The miko is like a new born pup." Sesshomaru growled in a low voice. 'Wait…why does she had a light marking on her wrists…this miko…what did was she given?'

"I'm a miko?" Kagome replied in a shocked voice.

"Sesshomaru shut up." Miroku stated as he turned around once the girls called him. "You were, well still are…Kagome do you remember us at all?"

"No, I don't…where's…someone is missing…who was here also?" Kagome asked as she began to sniff around for the aura that had helped the pain disappear up until he had left her side.

"No, Kagome, we were the only ones here…do you know any of us?" Miroku pushed.

"Just come with us hanyou, you'll slowly remember." Sesshomaru growled.

"Forget about the aura you felt before, he left a while." Lilith answered truthfully.

Before Kagome or Sango could say a word, Kohaku ran through the clearing and looked for his sister. As soon as he had spotted her, he ran at her and hugged her. Sango hugged her brother with tears in her eyes and asked, "Kohaku, what are you doing here? I thought you were traveling with Kikiyo."

"Inuyasha showed up and began to talk with Kikiyo…he said you'd need me….are you alright?" Kohaku answered.

'This scent…he was with him…which way.' Kagome thought as she let out a low growl before asking, "Where is he? You were with him so which way did you come from?"

"Kagome?" Kohaku asked in a confused voice. "What happened to you?"

"Kohaku don't answer her." Miroku stated as he placed a barrier around so that she could not leave. "Kagome you have to understand, he left to help you, you'll get your memories once he comes back with what he needed."

"Kagome, just calm down, sit down and we'll explain everything." Sango stated as she tried to keep her friend calm.

"Hanyou do not dare to try and leave." Lilith growled as he got ready to try and stop the girl.

"Kikiyo…Inuyasha….NO!" Kagome suddenly yelled out in worry and sadness, as well as anger, as she turned to leave.

"Kagome you can't leave." Miroku's sad voice was heard. "He needs to do this."

"No! Let me go!" Kagome yelled as she easily broke his barrier.

"You will not leave!" Lilith growled as she threw her down to the ground.

"Let go!" Kagome growled out in fury as her miko energy blasted the demon off of her.

"Watch it miko, I will not allow you to treat my mother in such a way." Sesshomaru's enraged growl was heard.

"Stand down and let me go…I do not know you nor do I trust any of you…just leave me be." Kagome growled out as her claws began to glow with her miko energy.

"Do as you please hanyou." Sesshomaru growled out as he turned his back to her. "I will not stop you."

Before anyone else could, Kagome jumped into the night sky as she began to go in search of Inuyasha and Kikiyo. She had no idea what it was but something deep inside of her was telling her to find him. To find Inuyasha and tell him the truth, granted she didn't know what the truth was but she had to see him. She had to be with him so that she could remember everything. It had been the plan, to give up her memories and toss them aside knowing that Inuyasha alone would bring them back. But he wasn't there, he hadn't stayed. 'Was he that mad at me…was he mad enough to want to leave my side?' Kagome thought sadly as she used her hanyou speed to move faster.

Sango turned to glare at Sesshomaru and yelled out, "Why, why did you let her go?! She can be killed! She doesn't even know what her demon acts are…all she has is her miko powers to reveal on and we still don't know how that is going to affect her!!"

"Sango you must stay calm. I'm sure he has a reason." Miroku was heard.

"I'll go after her." Kohaku promised.

"Even if you tried boy you will not be able to keep up with her, let alone stop her." Lilith was heard as he turned to face her son. "You will keep your word."

"My brother has yet to make a choice." Sesshomaru growled.

"His choice no longer matters; she is the perfect mate for you, the only one that can truly stand as your equal!" Lilith growled.

"We shall see." Sesshomaru answered before walking away and into the night.

Inuyasha stared at Kikiyo with disbelief. He couldn't believe what her answer had been. Kagome had jumped in and without a second thought saved her life yet she would not return the favor by helping her now when she needed her the most. When she noticed that he was not going to be saying anything else for a while, Kikiyo turned away and added, "It is not like I do not wish to help her, but I cannot risk losing a hold on Midoriku's soul. I cannot allow her to take my soul."

"You have to allow your soul to get as close as possible to her so that she can wake up. She turned herself into an inu hanyou but she needed all of her soul…now if she doesn't get it she won't wake up." Inuyasha explained in a calm voice.

"I will not risk it. I cannot risk it." Kikiyo answered.

"That doesn't change the fact that you would be leaving her to die when she saved you!" Inuyasha roared.

"It does not, however I have something to complete. Furthermore, I should not have to be the one to risk my live because of your mistake." Kikiyo shot back with her own cold voice.

"You cold hearted bitch, what life to you really have anyway." Inuyasha growled as he began to lose his temper.

"Inuyasha, I know that you are not yourself but you will not speak to me in that tone. I will not allow it." Kikiyo warned.

"Or what? What is the dead miko bitch going to do?" Inuyasha growled as he drew his sword.

"Inuyasha, I will purify you if needed be." Kikiyo hissed.

"I will not ask you again, will you nor will you not help her?" Inuyasha growled.

It was then that Kikiyo noticed the protect glow that the necklace that he wore began to give off. Even if Kagome was not at his side she was going to protect him. After taking a calming breath, Kikiyo raised her hands up in the air and said, "Very well then, I'll go and see if there is anything I can do, perhaps my presence may be all that is needed."

"Feh, get on." Inuyasha growled as he offered her his back.

"I will follow after you Inuyasha; it will be much easier that way." Kikiyo answered as her remaining soul collectors began to encircle her.

"Feh, fine with me." Inuyasha growled as he leaped into the night sky to lead the way. 'Damn it bitch, you better be alright, you better have stayed asleep.'

She walked through the forest not know where to go. She knew that she had to get there but there was nothing she could do. She had lost his scent and she had no idea how or why. As she entered the clearing that boy that had appeared smelled off, she found no one. Not even the priestess Kikiyo. After taking a calming breath, she looked around and mumbled, "I wonder where he could have gone…I would have felt it if they left this world…I know it…where did they go."

"Lost half breed?" a low growl was heard.

"No, just leave me alone and you'll live." Kagome growled back as she raised her claws.

"Only if you hand over your jewel shards bitch." The growl was heard as the large ogre appointed in her line of sight.

"Well aren't you an ugly one." Kagome growled back as her claws began to glow. "I don't know what you're talking about but I don't have any shards…so get lost."

"Then where is this power coming from?" he growled as he looked around to try and find the source of the power that was starting to surround the forest.

"I don't know; now move out of my way." Kagome growled as she slightly lowered her claws.

After looking around and sniffing the power out, he took a step closer to the hanyou before him and growled, "You will become my mate…you have power within you that surpasses that of the lord of the west."

"I will never be your mate; I will not tell you again, move or die." Kagome growled as he spiritual powers began to come forth.

"An inu miko hanyou? How interesting, I will grow in power with our mating alone…come here girl." The ogre growled.

"I warned you." Kagome growled before throwing her attack at the demon that would not let her leave. 'I belong to no other demon then to Lord Inuyasha…'

The moment her attack hit him, the demon ogre before her, went up in flames as her spiritual powers began to do its work. She had no idea why she didn't have her demon powers but there was nothing she could do until she had the power she was looking for at her side. Just as she began to look around for a place to sleep, Kagome dazed off as a memory hit her, it was in the south, there was a wolf there that knew who she was looking for. She could only hope that he would be able to help her, that he would be able to tell her where and how she could find Lord Inuyasha before it was too late.

'Koga, prince of the wolf tribe.' Kagome thought with a grin on her face as she got ready to head south. 'He has the answers I need, the information I want to find him.'

Inuyasha and Kikiyo had arrived just as the sun began to rise. The moment they arrived they only find Sango, Miroku, and a sad Shippo. Fearing the worst, Inuyasha ran to the water to look for Kagome. While Inuyasha drove him crazy looking for Kagome, Kikiyo turned to Sango, Kohaku, Miroku, and Shippo and asked, "Where is my reincarnation?"

"She's gone." Shippo cried out. "My Oka is gone."

"She woke up and left since she had didn't remember any of us." Miroku answered.

"What do you mean?" a worried Inuyasha was heard.

"She recognized your aura, could feel when you left. She went after you not knowing who she was looking for." Sango explained as she looked up to face Inuyasha. "She'll only remember us when she finds you. She thinks you went to go find Kikiyo to go to hell with her."

"Inuyasha, if she wonders around for too long she will be attacked." Kikiyo remained him.

"Go to my brother's home, stay there and I'll come and get you guys." Inuyasha ordered as he turned to leave.

"Lady Kikiyo?" Kohaku called out.

"You do the same Kohaku." Kikiyo replied.

"There is one more thing." Sango called out to him.

"Sango." Miroku stated.

"She has more power than Sesshomaru and his other combined and doesn't know how to hide it…you have to hurry and find it before she is forced to become some ones mate." Sango explained as she turned away from him.

There was no way she could tell him that his own brother would also be the one looking to make her his mate. Inuyasha did not have to know this, not when they had just gotten closer as brothers. She would not do that when it was not certain that Sesshomaru had or had not gone after Kagome to make her his mate.
