It was raining after school and Kagome noticed how irritable Kyo seemed. She then learned that it was because of the rain. They got home and were greeted by Kagura. Kyo was of course anything but pleased. After a few seconds Shigure popped out and handed her a shopping list saying that they could do the shopping and to think of it as a date and Kagura happily pulled Kyo away.

"You did that to save your house didn't you?" Shigure nodded.

"But of course." After a few minutes Yuki and Tohru left.

"I'm all alone." Kagome sighed and then stood. "I'm gonna go out and work on my archery a bit okay Shigure. I'll have Diamond with me. I'll be back in about an hour." Kagome then left and returned to the small range she had made for herself. She hadn't been here since that Hiro incident.

She inhaled as she pulled back on her bow and aimed at a defenseless sand bag dummy, poured her miko powers into the arrow ad released. As the arrow hit the sandbag a small explosion appeared. Sand flew everywhere as pink light scattered. The two colors together looked beautiful and Kagome smiled.

"I love how that looks. Maybe I should join the archery club at school. What do you think Diamond?" The cat was lying over near some trees at the edge of the clearing. She looked at Kagome with an unamused look. "I got I got it. Ruin my fun." Kagome continued to destroy defenseless sandbag dummies until she decided that it was enough for the day and she sensed some familiar auras back at the house.

She entered the house to see a man with long gray hair held back in a ponytail and greenish gray eyes. She didn't like the feel of his aura. Something about it seemed off.

"Hello. You must be Kagome Higurashi. My name is Kazuma Sohma." She nodded.

"So Master why'd you decide to visit?" Kagome looked to Kyo. He looked so happy. Kagome understood that this man was the one that taught Kyo and the others martial arts. After supper Kagome and Tohru were asked to met Kazuma in the yard in a while. It then began to rain and Kagome and Tohru came out holding umbrellas. Just then Kazuma blocked Kyo's eyes from the two and removed his beaded bracelet.

Kagome felt the strong negative aura come from Kyo and she could've sworn that it was demon. In front of her and Tohru stood this humanoid creature. It had almost black skin and purple eyes with slits for pupils. It also had long ears and looked slightly emaciated. It also smelled of rotting flesh.

"Don't look at me!" And it was off. It was then that Kagome realized. That was Kyo. She felt her heart ache. How could she not recognize him? Was it the negative energy? She dropped her umbrella and ran, Tohru was right behind her. Kagome felt the need to talk to him.

She was a little shaken up yes, because the only demon she has dealt with recently was Diamond and Kyo wasn't even a demon! Though he sure did look like it. She hadn't seen something like that form before. That must have been what those bead were for. She should've made it so that they couldn't come off unless she took them off. Of course, she never would've guessed that someone else would have taken them off. She'd deal with that asshole later.

Kagome tripped and landed on her hand and knees. A car pulled up and out came Akito. He started telling her how she should have never gone into that house and how he will make her life a living hell. She stood and noticed that Tohru was laying next to her. She sensed Shigure as he began to apologize for not telling them.

"It's not your fault Shigure." Kagome wandered to Kyoto's grave with Tohru and soon saw Uo and Hana. Uo kept coming towards them while Hana continued to keep her away from the two broken girls.

"Go Tohru, Kagome! You know what you have to do!" Kagome nodded and helped Tohru to her feet as the two headed back to Shigure's land to try and find Kyo. They made it to a small lake, one that Kagome remembered seeing before on one of her travels with Diamond. Kyo was sitting in the middle of the shore on a rock. Kagome and Tohru walked over to him and he tried to run when Yuki stood in his way. Tohru walked over and hugged his arm and he through her, but she wouldn't let go. Yuki grabbed onto his leg to keep him from running. Tohru began to talk to him about wanting to stay together and that she was infact scared. Kagome walked over to him.

"Kyo." She wrapped her arms around him and he freaked out more. "Kyo please. Stop it. Stop acting like this. You are no monster. Trust me I'd know. I don't want you to feel alone. You're precious to me Kyo." She let go a little and leaned back when he changed back into his human form.

"You're precious to me too." He hugged Tohru and Kagome and transformed, falling asleep as the sun began to rise. Kagome picked him and his pants up as the four returned home. Kagome continued to nuzzle his face into hers. Shigure laughed happily as he saw that everyone was okay.

The next day they went to see Akito. Kyo stayed outside while Yuki, Hatori, Shigure, Tohru, and Kagome sat in what seemed to be a throne room, which may have been 300 years ago, but today was more of a meeting room. Akito was sitting on the porch.

"I want to ask for permission to continue living with Shigure." The girls said at the same time. Kagome felt uneasy as the young man came over to stand in front of them, fixing his robes. He seemed calmed until he grabbed them both by the hair and slammed them to the ground. Kagome felt pain and then heard a growl so low and menacing that Naraku would've pissed himself.

"How dare you, let go of my mother!" Kagome froze. It was...
