Note from author:It has been a bit since I updated so I figured I would add a bit of plot thickener. I know I had originally planned to bring in Jin this chapter but I did the next best thing I think.

Kagome walked quietly through the hallway towards her room as she felt the cold feeling in her heart. She sighed and stopped moving, simply waiting.

She did not have long to wait. Red eyes bore down on her with a sadistic grin from her bothers eye sockets and her brothers face... but this was not her brother. The secret she had told no-one. She may be Kikyo's reincarnation but... a raspy voice came from her brothers mouth. "Hello Miko."- Naraku's voice.

She starred into those red eyes without fear. "Give my brother back." A sadistic grin spread wide across his face. "Kukuku Miko. Why would I give him up when he is not even capable of completely fighting me if we so share the same desire." Her eyes widened. "Wha?"

Before Kagome could say more her body was covered and her mouth was taken by her brothers own possessed mouth. Her eyes widened further and bile rose in her throat. She suspected but ignored her brother deciding it was normal and not about her. This was... this was... and if she used her miko ki she might kill her brother. So... thinking quickly as hands trailed along her body squished between the wall and her brothers suddenly more obviously larger body... she bit his lip as hard as she could.

Red eyes flickered and she could see that her brother was fighting this for her. "Please otouto. Please stop this." Her broken voice rose from her throat breaking and near whisper but cutting across the silent and dark shrine house. Souta got through just long enough to give her the space to wiggle free enough to flee. Still not long enough. "Souta. No." Her voice broke as his hands grasped her ankle as she fell. Her tears fell in little splashes feeling his hold on her ankle abate as she turned to look on her brothers face stunned to see a shadowed figure with his sword, shinning in the faint light through the nearby window, to her brothers throat. In that moment she looked into ruby eyes and knew her brother would live and he wouldn't be killed so she did the only thing she could think of.

Kagome Higurashi, strongest priestess to ever live since Midoriko and possibly including her... scrambled like a child from danger and ran like it was all she knew how to do. Down the stairs, out the door and into the forest and even when she knew she was safe she kept on running even still. Though the danger was over the tears kept on falling. She ran and ran and didn't want to stop. A voice rang through her skull. "Onna. Stop." An image flashed through her head of the one who had saved her. He felt hot as fire and cold as ice at the same time in that split second he had entered her mind. He felt like a friend of hers, Yukina but also like a different person all on his own... puzzling. maybe this was her brother she searched for? She found a tree and stopped running, climbing into it's branches and finding solace in it's branches. She reached out instinctual y for the power that had left traces in her mind and spoke back to it. "Stopped."

The voice did not replay back but a dark figure appeared on a branch next to hers and his ruby eyes regarded her as if regarding something he was unsure of. She starred back and began to pick out the similarities of his face with her observant gaze. His eyes were her eyes, his nose was her nose, his face was hers only a tiny bit sharper... built much the same... her voice was quiet as her previous disaster nearly left her mind completely and a smile broke her face. She hugged the male as was obvious he wasn't expecting. "I found you! Yukina will be so happy to have her brother!" He stiffened. She felt him about to take in air but they were cut short by a sudden change in Youkai energy being felt... The wind shifted and moved strongly and pulled her from this person in dark clothing she had been hugging. She was brought into familiar arms. "Kagurachan" "Sh. We will get you from this place." She was disoriented by exhaustion and trauma. The adrenalin leaving her she faintly wondered... "we who?" Who was with Kagura?

Kagome looked over from her place on the soft downy feather in Kagura's lap... a beautiful woman with long flowing hair as red as the reddest ruby, highlighted with darker tones light garnets and lighter tones like flames... offset with stunning brightly toned deep green eyes and lightly tanned and freckled skin. On the stunning woman's form was a disarrayed robe uncovering her shoulders as the moonlight placed on her skin and the breeze with her hair... even mixing it with a few darker strands from Kagura as she noticed... which was odd because Kagura kept her hair up. The red heads melodious voice rung out softly. "Hai Kagomesama. We." Kagome was asleep before she could say anything about the 'sama' of about the stunning woman she had beheld in her eyes.
