"You don't deserve her. She is different. Pure."

" I know."

It hurts when your hero falls from their pedestal. It hurts when you've placed them to high, and they can't help but fail in spite. They trusted each other. Betrayed by a part of themselves they didn't know they had. Why was she here again?

"She will stay."

"Please! You have to understand!"

"She is dying. You are killing her. She is fallen."

It hurt, as she lay asleep, that she could hear them talk of her fate. God. Inuyasha. She really didn't want to go back, as she felt in this place, she was free. They told her she was fallen. Chosen to go into the earth, to live as human. To be a pure human, to give hope to the world.

But who would give hope to her?

It didn't help that she was also placed into a reincarnation status. Already born with a mission, not yet to discover. During her stay, she had subconsciously tried to find other angels. While she was here, the told she had successfully found six. Four of which, in the feudal era. She was one of the highest angels. So they told her.

To blend with earthly beings, all her memories had been erased, gone. A new slate for a baby. She frequently had dreams of golden bridges and silver pillars, lakes full of bubbly ambrosia and holy food, but she never thought about it for very long. She would have disappeared anyway after her mission had been accomplished if not for another holy origin.

Love.

"She promised to stay with me!"

"By my orders."

The voices. That's right. Her sisters. Jumbled voices in communion for their dying eldest sister. Sorrowed birds ashamed for people who had scorned her.

Who knew? Sango, Miroku, and Shippo were here also, only because they would be fearful of danger for their friends, not overcome by the fact that also. Miroku wanted to meet the great Kami.

"Excuse me, if I may, what has Inuyasha done to Kagome? As far as I have seen, he has protected and taken great care of her. Aside from, be indecisive." Sango asked sadly.

"He has forsaken a angels gift. I shall not let one of my highest honors be given in vain." To their eyes, the man speaking was large, wrapped in a white kimono and a golden sash. His beard was long, his hair black, assertive large glasses slipping at the end of his nose.

"Please give him another chance," Shippo piped up. "He might be a idiot sometimes ,but he really is a good person!" Inuyasha turned and grumbled half-heartedly. How would he have another chance at loving kagome? They acted like he didn't already.

"I will give him another chance. Only, if you agree to my conditions." His ears perked up excitedly. He would get his mate back! But could he call her that? Really? It wasn't his to call. He had no right.

"You must get her to fall in love with you. You must recreate every defining moment you have experienced with her. Get her to tell her secrets, of the past lives. Then only will you understand."

Miroku nudged him with his arm to answer him. He turned, and meet him with a glare. "How do you expect me to do that huh? Do you think that loving a hanyou is once in a lifetime? No. you didn't."

I woke, and lifted myself of the small bed. He didn't know what he was saying. Although they were seated in the forum, the couldn't see me unless I came out of the large building. Could I condemn myself to the look on their faces? I was no longer dressed in a girls school uniform, but a blue kimono and a small round silver ring around my head.

The seemingly old man looked toward my direction , and smiled. How did he know? Oh. God. Right. "It seems as if we shall witness her decision. Come, my child." she stepped out hesitantly, and moved forward, hiking up her long dress. It wasn't fair, she thought. Who would pick a life like this? "Kagome…" Inuyasha wrapped his arm around hers, and moved to pick her up.

"Wait!" She suddenly felt nervous about him. He growled. "Kagome. Come home." Home? Home? Right now, she couldn't believe she had a home. " I will entrust her to you Inuyasha. You will not fail me. You are all my children, and I care for all of you."

At this Inuyasha calmed glanced up to see that he was giving Kagome a brass bottle and pulling her aside. After a couple of minutes a tall brunette walked into the room and guided them to the exit, while Kagome and The man were busy.

" Be careful. Aranita will escort you all back to earth." He hadn't realized that they had come back, too lost in his own thoughts and regrets. Inuyasha, usually rash and swift to judge could only thank him for even allowing him to retrieve his mate safely.

How could I leave my newfound unearthly sisters and brothers? But I went anyway. I couldn't decipher the look in Inuyasha's eyes, when God himself told him about me. If I were to erase my memories to make myself fall in love, voluntarily, would I do it?

Would you?
