Chapter 2:

I Never Saw It Coming

Kaede sighed and shook her head as Inuyasha covered the dead girl. Her face was tear-stained and puffy like the rest of the group. Kaede and Miroku were both not suppose to cry. They were supposed to bless Kagomes soul. But it was impossible to do. For, by doing so, they'd have to admit that Kagome was actually dead. No one wanted to admit that. Kaede looked at the group didn't blame anyone, but it was just a sad sight to be seen. A girl that, no matter how bad the world looked, had a big smile on her face was laying there dead. How could someone so loving, so giving, so pure, be dead?

Kaede sighed once more. "I'll clean her up and the service will be tomorrow. What are ye going to tell her mother Inuyasha?" Inuyasha didn't answer. He couldn't answer. His face was ghostly pale. His amber eyes looked lifeless. He just sat there; staring at Kagome's covered up body.

Kaede told the group to head to her hut, and allow Inuyasha time alone with her. The group nodded and followed Kaede out of the preparation hut. Once gone, Inuyasha walked closer and sat next to Kagome. He removed the cover from her face. There was a white glow around the body, to preserve her until the service. He swiped the hair from her face. She was so beautiful. Even in death she was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen. He sighed, the only thing that Inuyasha did not like, was the fact that her face did not look as peaceful as it had always while she slept. After witnessing countless deaths, he had come to notice that most people look absolutely peaceful in death. But not her, not his Kagome. Her muscles in her face may have been relaxed, but something about her face looked, upset. She always looked so peaceful when she slept. 'She's not asleep though. She's dead.' Tears rolled down his cheeks. "Kagome…" He whispered.

:MEANWHILE:

The mirror showed Inuyasha holding Kagome in the lonely hut, sobbing. Naraku smirked as he stood up and looked at Kanna. "This is perfect." He stated. Kagura looked at the mirror from the corner. She almost felt sorry for Inuyasha. She had never seen anyone show such sorrow for the loss of someone as she saw with Inuyasha. She looked over at Naraku in disgust. She couldn't believe that this happened. That Naraku would stoop so low. But that's what he does. Plays with people hearts. Naraku was scared of not only Inuyasha and his friends, but of Kagome as well. Over the past few years, her strength had risen to a level far beyond that of Kikyo's. Naraku knew that with Inuyasha's sword and if Kagome ever awakened her full power, he would be no match. But Kagome had a weakness; she had a big heart that told her to always look for good in people. Kagura looked from Naraku over to a corner where Kohaku was sitting. Sharpening his scythe, a bloody rag lying on the floor.

"Naraku," Kagura started, wondering if she could save the Hanyou from more heartache, after all she was hoping that he and Kagome would've defeated Naraku and released her heart. "You don't even need to follow with this plan. Inuyasha is in such a deep state of depression, that killing him would almost be a gift for him." Naraku glared at Kagura, but smirked. "Are you growing soft on me Kagura? Don't even try to betray me; I have no problem send you right back where you came from." He warned. Kagura gulped as he reached in his pocket and pulled out a large, black jewel shard. "We'll take Kohaku with us. We need something to distract the others." Kagura looked down at the ground in anger.

Kanna stopped Naraku from leaving. "What about your scent? Even though Inuyasha is grieving, he would not miss a chance to try and destroy you. Especially after Kagomes passing." Naraku laughed. "Smart Kanna, Kagura why can't you be more like you sister?"Kagura only hmpf'ed. "I will use my wind." She stated. Naraku nodded and they were off.

Sango was staring at the fire, she was so tired. Everyone she loved died. She looked over at Miroku, Kirara, and Shippo. It was only a matter of time. How long would she have with them. Every day they were going into battles. How much would their bodies take before it decided that it was too much? Would she actually watch everyone else die? Or would she be next? Miroku noticed her stares and walked over to her. "Sango, it will be okay." Sango stood up and pushed him back. "How can you say that!? Kagome is DEAD! It'll never be ok!" Miroku held Sango close to his chest. "You have to believe that it will be, for Shippo, and for Inuyasha. We have to be strong. I know it's hard Sango, but if we aren't strong for them. They will fall apart forever." Sango cried in his chest. "I'm so tired of being strong." She whispered. Suddenly she felt Miroku tense up. She looked up at him. "What is it?" Miroku was staring out the window. Sango followed his gaze and gasped. It was Kohaku.

Sango grabbed her Hiraikotsu and ran outside, followed closely by Miroku. "Kohaku!" Sango called. Kohaku stopped and turned around. She looked at him and noticed his eyes held life. She walked slowly towards him. "Sango be careful, this could be a trap." Miroku looked around for Naraku. "It's too cocinedental, Stay here I'm going to get Inuyasha." And with that Miroku ran off.

When he got to the hut, not much had changed. "Inuyasha, Kohaku's here! I think Naraku may know that Kagome is dead and is ready to battle you." Inuyasha growled but stood up. He didn't want to leave Kagome, but he needed to kill something to let some anger out. "Good I could use a fight." With one last look at Kagome, Inuyasha ran outside with Miroku. They met up with Sango who was comforting a screaming Kohaku. "He remembers!" Sango cried. Inuyasha and Miroku stood stunned. What was going on? How did Kohaku escaped Naraku? They walked closer to Sango and Inuyasha kneeled down to look at the boy. He was crying and screaming. "I KILLED EVERYONE!" Inuyasha placed a hand on his shoulder. "No, Naraku did. You did nothing Kohaku." Suddenly, Kohaku's eyes became lifeless once again and he broke free of Sango's grasp.

"I knew it!" Miroku said. "It was a trap." They all jumped when the preparation hut suddenly exploded. "Kagome!" Inuyasha yelled. They all gasped when they saw Naraku and Kagura levitating with kagome in his arms. "You bastard! Give her back!" Inuyasha pulled out his Tetsusaiga. Naraku laughed. "Inuyasha, you haven't figured it out by now? This has all been a trap. I had Kagome killed and once I put this jewel shard in her, she'll be all mine." Inuyasha was about to use his wind scar on Naraku but Kagura intercepted. "Dance of the Dragon!" The group blocked the attack, but couldn't go after them. They were already gone, with Kagome.

"It was all a trap…Naraku killed kagome…" Inuyasha dropped to his knees. He didn't think his heart could take anymore, but then, it did. "How did he know Kagome was going to be mad at me unless Kikyo…" Inuyasha's eyes widened.

Miroku stepped up. "Kikyo was working for Naraku. You were either going with Kikyo to hell, or he was going to kill Kagome. Either way, he wins. Because either way, he destroys you, whether it is by death or by heart." Inuyasha felt like he was going to vomit. He stood up and was going to run after Naraku, but his body just couldn't take anymore. It was too much for one day; Inuyasha collapsed on the ground. Miroku and Sango ran over to him. He was unconscious. Carefully, they heaved him up and headed to the hut. Once there, they covered him up and allowed him to rest.

:MEANWHILE:

Naraku laid Kagome's body down on a futon. He removed her torn shirt, leaving her in her jeans and black sports bra. Naraku grimaced at the site of Kagomes wounded midriff. "Damn did he have to nearly tear her in half?" He glared over at Kohaku; then he reached in his Kimono and pulled out three more tainted jewel shards. He placed them in kagomes wound, and the wound slowly began to heal, though it would still leave a scar. Kagura walked in with a pair of black kimono pants and a white top.

"Actually, I quite like the contraption she's wearing, so just change her bottoms." He stated. Kagura rolled her eyes in disgust. Could he be any more of a pig? Staring at a dead girl's chest.

There was a bright light and then suddenly, Kagomes eyes shot open. She jerked up, panting and looked around the room. She saw Naraku and Kagura she felt like screaming and killing them for a second. She blinked and the feeling was gone. She was only left with confusion. "Where am I?" She asked, her voice cracked. "Who are you?"

Naraku smirked, his plan was working. "I am Naraku, your master. You name is Kagome and I've saved you. You see, an evil demon named Inuyasha and his friends, tried to kill you. And they succeeded. I witnessed the horrible site, but was, unfortunately to late to stop them. Luckily, I took pity on you and brought your body to my castle and revived you with the help of my jewel shards. Though sadly, in doing so, your memory was lost. Now, Inuyasha is after me for my jewel shards. So I have a proposition for you. I'll allow you to keep my shards, and in doing so, your life, as well as you can live here, with me, and I'll protect you as long as you serve under me. And begin to train with Kagura, to kill Inuyasha. Do we have ourselves a Deal?" Naraku had his hand stretched out. Kagome looked at it for a moment and then nodded and shook it. "Deal." Naraku smirked. "Kagura, help Kagome get dressed and prepare her weapons, you will be training her starting tomorrow." And with that Naraku vanished. Kagura growled but helped kagome out of her pants and into the kimono pants.

Kagura was sitting there, brushing kagomes long hair while kagome sat in deep thought. Who was she? Where did she come from? What did she do to make the evil Inuyasha want to kill her? "Lady Kagura…" Kagome started, Kagura smirked, and she had to admit…she liked the fact that someone showed her a little respect. "Yes?"

"This evil demon, this In-u-ya-sha. Why did he want to kill me? When Lord Naraku said his name, my heart instantly felt sadness, but no anger. But then in a split second, it was gone. Like I felt nothing towards him." Kagura bit her lip. Naraku had never come up with a story for this. "You see kagome, you are a priestess. A very strong priestess with the ability to detect Jewel Shards. Inuyasha knew this and wanted you to find the shards. You wouldn't help him. So he stabbed you with his sword called 'Tetsusaiga'. " Kagome thought for a moment. "Jewel shards?" Kagura sighed; this was not going to be easy.
