shippofan2k: I am glad you enjoy reading my stories. Warms my heart knowing that. I still remember the days that I sucked at writing at first, even my own teachers use to say that. Lately I have been hearing that my writing has gotten better. I realized that too, just thriving to get better though haha. Thanks again! Happy New Years
GothicLibra: Well, we just got to see if Kagome is really getting her memories back right? There will be twist in the future. I do plan to write this story for awhile, let's see how long. Thanks for the review. Happy New Years!
TriOblivion: I love Halibel too! Her eyebrows are just so awesome to watch! (that was weird but it is true! and her eye lashes). I think Halibel and Kagome will make a good team and combination, you'll see, thanks for the review. Happy New Years!
lonesoul: Aizen is currently working with Naraku in order to take control of two things. Naraku helping Aizen take over Soul Society and Aizen helping Naraku get the Shikon no Tama and destroy Inuyasha and the others. It will be explained later on how they meet. Happy New Years!
AnimeMixDJ: Thanks for the review. Yeah, I can picture that. Both Inuyasha and Ichigo meeting Aizen and Naraku. O.o That would be bizarre knowing the amount of damage they would do. It gets me excited with adrenaline to write the next chapters haha. Happy New Years to you too!
Satomi Tanaka: Yeah, it shows how strong Ichigo can be and how hard it is for him to see Kagome away from his side and especially since she is in the dark side. Thanks for the review! Happy New Years!
(Unknown Reviewer :): She has not released her shikai nor her bankai ye. She will though but I need ideas on how the image should be protrayed, meaning her form of shikai and bankai haha. It will come to me. Thanks for the review, Happy New Years!
krysten: Interesting. Usually I am not a big fan of yaoi but, I will try to give it a shot, though I can come up with comedy for that XD Thanks for the review, Happy New Years!
IchigoxRukia: Hi! Yeah, I see that too with Rukia and Kikyo. Don't worry I do plan for them to have bigger roles in this, along with Hisagi and the others. I got lots of ideas for battles now, thanks for reviewing. Happy New Years!
Yukira-Kuchiki: Haha- I do that A LOT! I picture all the events like an anime, even the Opening O.o which...sounds like I am a total freak XD Thanks for the review, Happy New Years!
Suki Yasutori: Here is an update! Thanks for the review. Hope to hear from you soon! Happy New Years!
omaomae: Haha-Well, in my other stories Kagome did seem weak so in this one I wanted to play a little with her character and see what people would think of her in the evil side. Thanks for the review and Happy New Years!
M0M0: Haha, thanks for reviewing. Very much appreciated! Well, Kagome will have obstacles of her own! I have a big surprise though that has to do with her and Ichigo! Again thanks for reviewing! Hope you enjoy this chapter!
ON WITH THE STORY!
"W-What?" exclaimed Inuyasha, birds flying the near by trees. "You saw Kagome! AND YOU LET HER GO!"
Ichigo looked down, disappointed in himself. His eyes closed, remembering Kagome's appearance since the last time he had seen her...human. 'Those eyes...they know nothing nor feeling anything. Her whole heart is crushed by the darkness that roams around her...Kagome? Why can't you realize that the person you are now isn't you?'
"It's not like we could stop her anyway," stated Ikkaku. "That girl has gotten even stronger than the last time. Way stronger. Those ribbons are fast I didn't even see them coming as they grabbed Grimmjow and Ichigo!"
"Not to mention," Hisagi crossed his arms. "The way she destroyed that Menos Grande with just one punch. WITH ONLY HER FREAKING PETITE HAND!"
"What made me throw up was the fact she called him 'Aizen-sama'," Rangiku closed her eyes, shaking her head.
Rukia sighed looking over at Kikyo: "She is your reincarnation, can't you try talking to her or something."
"Yes, she is my reincarnation. But even that, Kagome has a mind of her own...well at least she did. From what hear, Kagome has gone over to the dark side completely. There isn't anything we can do for her," stated Kikyo, catching Ichigo's attention with a glare. "Kagome is long gone. All we can do now is go back to another plan. Destroy Naraku and complete the Shikon no Tama."
"She isn't gone," glared Ichigo.
"You saw her yourself, didn't you?" Kikyo's eye brow rose.
"She is still there," he replied.
"What do you mean?" asked Sango. Ichigo turned around. "Do what you want. I am going to get Kagome at all cost," he his head turned to look from over his shoulder. "Even it means we both need to fight each other."
Inuyasha growled under his breath: "Are you saying you are willing to kill her?"
"No," he answered back. "I would take my own life away if that would be the case."
"Ichigo..." whispered Rukia.
Renji shook his head: "We aren't getting anywhere like this! We need to come up with a plan and fast! Who knows what this Naraku guy and Aizen are planning next!"
"He's right," glared Miroku. "Let's rest today and make camp. We will talk about this and start tomorrow morning."
Kagome knelt down in front of Naraku and Aizen, her head bowed down as Tia and Kohaku stood behind her. "And what is it that you request, Kagome-chan?" asked Aizen with a smirk. Kagome looked up: "A couple of things."
"Oh?" Naraku's slender eye brow rose up, wondering what his little servant was up to.
"The Band of Seven to be resurrected tonight," she stated making Naraku look at Aizen. He looked down at her again. "Tonight? Why? I think a day's worth of rest should do good for you, don't you think?"
"I have my reasons," she explained. "If it is done tonight, it gives us until dawn to explain to them what is occuring. Plus," her eyes meet their's in a glare. "One can start the chaos around."
Naraku and Aizen couldn't help but show the smirk. Kagome was becoming more useful ,especially they way she thought in her plans. "Very well then," answered Aizen. "Tonight it is. But you said you had a few more request?" Kagome nodded in response. "What are they?"
"More like a question," corrected Kagome as she glared at her two leaders in front.
"Oh?" raised an eye brow as Naraku smirked. "What is this mysterious question?"
Kagome's glared couldn't get any tighter than it already was: "Was the cero tattoo on my back...been there since I was 'created'?"
Naraku looked over at Aizen, knowing the question had to do more with him. Aizen's glare returned: "What are you asking? Don't waste your breath on such a stupid question. Of course that tattoo was on your back since your creation into this world."
"Really?" Kagome's eye brow shot up. 'I feel like I shouldn't mention of what has been happening lately in my head...' she looked up: "I also ask that if I want to go on a mission myself, let me go."
"By yourself?" repeated Naraku. "I can't allow that."
Kagome smirked: "What? Don't trust me? I am a creature with no heart nor memories...what is the harm?"
Aizen returned the same smirk: "If that is what you want. When you chose to go by yourself, you can go. But you have to report to us beforehand." Kagome nodded, bowing down. "Thank you," she whispered. "Then I will leave with Tia-san and Kohaku-kun."
Rukia sighed, starring at the campfire that Miroku had finished making. She sat on the log that was near Renji (who was currently laying down already, resting.) She noticed Kikyo having her eyes closed, looking as if she wasn't even breathing (well...she was dead). Kikyo sighed herself: "Is there saomething I can help you with Kuchiki-san?"
Rukia only gave her the middle stare, a bit with a glare in the mix: "Just wondering on how you can stay so calm about all this."
"You look calm as well," she replied back: "But it is better than being all panicked like two guys here."
Rukia looked behind her shoulder seeing Ichigo on the hill that was near, looking up at the sky. Looking at her right, Inuyasha was training with Kirara, sweat running down his face trying to get his attacks right. "Well, you are right." Looking back at Kikyo she realized that the rest of the shinigamis were resting, but not sleeping. "Aren't you at least a bit worried about Kagome?"
"Why should I be?" Kikyo's eyes opened. "She is nothing but my reincarnation."
"She's nothing?" repeated Rukia. "You are saying it as if she is a clone of you with no heart nor soul."
"Well, she is only a mere replica of me from another time. That is all," spitted out Kikyo with a glare.
Rukia chuckled under her breath: "How can you be so sure. If it were me meeting both of you at the same time for the first time...I wouldn't even notice the resemblance." Kikyo only snickered back as she gave her reply. "Really? Even Inuyasha confuses Kagome for me...most of the time. Her image is replaced with mine in most peoples eyes. She is known as being 'Kikyo's reincarnation', 'Miko', 'Woman', nothing more. She isn't known as Kagome."
"How can you be so cold towards her? I heard from Sango that she had saved your life," whispered Rukia.
"So? It was a choice that was given to her. She could of left me there to rot and turn back into the ashes I was once, am I correct?" Kikyo's eye brow crooked up.
"Can't you at least show your gratefulness?" Rukia returned the crooked eye brow.
"I am helping you and your friends in finding her, right? Even though I told you all it was hopeless to bring her back," smirked Kikyo. "Once a miko has gone to the dark side...there is no return to the purity she had once. No return to the love she had."
"Once a miko has gone to the dark side...there is no return to the purity she had once. No return to the love she had." Ichigo sighed, hearing Kikyo's words from the campsite. He growled under his breath afterwards, not liking her comment.
He knew, he knew, he was sure! Kagome still had her heart in there somewhere...locked up. All she needed where her senses back, her memories. It pained him she didn't remember him when she asked him his name. He just answered, without showing the disbelief he had.
If she couldn't even remember his name, his face, his voice...she obviously couldn't remember their moments together. Their first conversation, their first greeting, her smile, his fights with Rukia and Renji, the night he saved her life, the night he saw her bravery, her sacrifice. The night...of their first small kiss. Ichigo's hand was brought up to his face, growling even more. He wanted it hug her more than anything, kiss her, hear her, see her.
He looked in between his fingers as the grey clouds started to gather.
'Rain?' he thought. He sighed, getting up. "I guess we should tell the others to get shelter with a roof."
Yamamoto only glared at the two Captains standing in front of him. The other captains waiting for a response. Shunsui cleared his throat, being one of the two in front of the leader. "Well...Yamamoto Genryuusai-sama? What is the plan?"
Yamamoto growled under his breath: "The well? The well is what teleports you to the past? Is that what Yoruichi and Urahara said? You simply want me to believe that?"
Ukitake scratched the back of his head: "That is what they informed us with. Supposedly...we can't destroy the well. Captain Hitsugaya and the others you sent are currently in there. In order for them to return, they need that well to still be there."
Yamamoto sighed harshly. "Very well..." he looked over at Byakuya and Kenpachi. "Captain of Squad 6 and 11, go to this Dimensional Witch...and bring more information! THAT IS AN ORDER!" Yamamoto stood up from his seat: "We can't allow Aizen to get stronger!"
The rain poured down, drops after drops, puddle after puddle. Kagome stepped on the water beneath her, ripples expanding. Tia walking next to her, noticied the kid, Kohaku holding all seven shards in his palm while standing in front of small buddha looking statue. Food was below, along with burned out candles and plants slowly drowning. "So? Is this it?" Tia raised an eye brow, crossing both her arms.
Kohaku let them fall to the ground, the statue glowing. Kagome's eyes narrowed down as Tia scoffed: "It smells rotten already!"
Kagome gently pushed Kohaku behind her: "Kagome-sama? Is something the matter?"
The statue continue to glow, the shards, one by one going into the ground. Kagome's eyes narrowed down even more, seeing a man with a long braid going down to this knees and holding a huge sword over his shoulder. He smirked, aiming the sharp edge at her neck: "And who are you? Answer or I will kill you."
A white bird flew down to her shoulder: "It's best that you..." the bird turned to it's white ribbon, floating around her body, "listen to me and follow orders." Tia got out her blade, aiming at the other six behind the known threat that was given to Kagome. "Or you will regret it. Be thankful we choose to give you a second chance."
