Naraku woke with a sickening feeling in his neck and his chest, when warmth of what he loved had left his side. He looked at the side where his future mate slept earlier after their long and most enjoyable mating earlier; he got up smelling her scent gone for hours. He walked over to see her clothes were gone, as well as the books she had been studying a lot of the time… 'Where did she go?' He eyes widened thinking back to something she said "I just want to go home and never come back." He narrowed his eyes she was his Kagome and she summited to him, she summited to him! He would have to teach her different and he would, she was his and he was hers… would learn that.

Woke up with a fever and lying in a futon across from a bed with her friend sitting on it reading a book called 'Strong women of today', she rolled her eyes and shook her head side to side. She smiled looking at her friend 'She always read things about being strong she always stuck up for what she believed in.' They were sitting in silence until Kagome saw her friend sneeze she smiled in response and said a weak "Bless you Eri." Her friend looked up and saw no one then down and saw Kagome staring right back at her "K-Kagome! You're alive!" She jumped down and hugged her friend as Kagome smiled she felt a little dizzy but other than that okay, she figured it was from all the running and walking she did just to get here. She had to have ran and walked about ten miles without any rest until she collapsed "It'll take more than that to kill me, Eri." Kagome lived through wars, fires, kidnappings, and tortures, curses, spells and evil demons and evil humans… a cold wasn't going to kill her if none of those did.

She patted her friend's back and pulled back "I just have a fever, can I have some medicine and water?" Eri nodded and went running out of the room getting what her sickly friend asked for, Kagome laid back down and felt sore for other reasons too… she had Naraku to thank for that. But when she went to feel for a bite on her neck nothing was there just … nothing. Soon a boy busted through the door and flung his arms around Kagome and smiled as he cried "Sister! Sister you're alright!" She smiled and nodded hugging him and giggling "I'm fine. I always am aren't I?" She heard her brother let out a sniffle sound and looked at her as he felt her wipe his little tears "Y-yea, you are."

"See I'm fine I wa…" She was cut off by her curious little brother as he smiled, looking at his sister "Where is Inuyasha?! Why did you come back hurt?" She felt her heart tighten she came here to forget about that era and now her brother was bringing up Inuyasha who was one person she really wanted to forget. He emotionally abused her making her love him and think he felt the way, he kissed her, saw her nude, cuddled her, cried for her and it … it was all an act. He only cared for her power to help him, nothing has changed from the first time she met him, and he still wanted to become a full demon. But he in her eyes didn't deserve it at first she thought he just didn't need it, but no he didn't deserve it. How could he the jewel was made up of souls how could he deserve it if he didn't seem to care deeply about someone like her who had felt that way about him at one time and was his friend from day two, he was just a heartless and soulless bastard.

She got up after taking her medicine and went to visit her family in the living room as her little brother helped her stand "I was wondering sis you don't seem to be hurting anywhere but your legs why? You going to… you know?" She felt her flush a bright rose red having her brother ask her a embarrassing question like that "I don't remember I left my calendar on the other side and have no idea." He looked away blushing for asking her and more for getting an answer from her; she smiled seeing her mom and gramps sitting next to Eri's grandmother Misa and Eri. She hated how they looked so worried she hated having people worry and look at her like that, "I'm fine, I just read the note you left me mom… and so I ran all the way here in the rain and fainted from exhaustion I guess."

Kagome sat down and smiled knowing she would have to tell them more eventually but right now she would act like everything was hunky dory "I'm fine now. I just need to rest is all." Eri smiled a jumped up bowing to her grandma Misa "I will take care of her, excuse me." Her friend Eri had been great help to her she was the only one at home half the time, Everyone else had jobs to help pay for a new house for Kagome's family.

She hated the thought of how her leaving might of caused her friends' pain then again Inuyasha caused her pain… but what about Naraku? What was she thinking about why worry about him?

A Few days later, Kagome was back on her feet and was actually back at school too. She was with her friends and it made her happy, but her heart hurt along and her mind was elsewhere ever since she got back. She and her friends were at school and Kagome looked out the window for the millionth time that day, she went to her day dreaming again.

"Ms. Higurashi, can you answer question two?"

She looked out the window and sighed she saw a pair of ruby red eyes staring at her and then a body slowly appeared… Naraku. Naraku!? She looked and he smiled at her and narrowed his eyes putting his finger up to his lips to tell her to be quiet. She stood up and pushed off of her desk and yelled looking out at the window " W-What?!" The teacher looked at her as he sighed and held his book in one hand and adjusted his glasses "Ms. Higurashi, please play attention. You were hardly in your classes from what I heard and now that you are day dreaming I won't have this in my class. Slackers go no where in life, remember that. Now explain what was so important to not pay attention, then after tell us about the Shikon jewel and the legend of the Shikon jewels protector."

She sighed and nodded it would be nice to show him how much she knew about these two subjects and she would indeed show him, but first had to embarrass herself telling him what she was doing. Her teacher and classmates stared at her looking for an answer, she smiled and nervously waved her hands "Oh I thought I saw an old friend I hadn't seen in years outside." He nodded and then looked at her after looking elsewhere for a second "Now Ms. Higurashi, tell us of the Shikon jewel and of the protector of it.
Kagome mentally cracked his knuckles and mentally popped her neck and narrowing her eyes as if preparing for a battle, she certainly was with her teacher… but it was a mental battle. She smiled slightly not wanting to be too cocky "Well… The Jewel of Four Souls, Shikon no Tama, also known as the Sacred Jewel or Shikon Jewel, is a powerful marble-sized jewel which grants whoever possesses it with immense power. Shikon, is formed from the Japanese words, 'shi' meaning four, and 'kon' meaning soul. 四 (in Chinese writing system (ancestral to Japanese) means four (shi). in Chinese writing system (as well as Japanese) means soul (kon). 玉 (in Chinese and Japanese) Jade or royal stone (tama). Making the Shikon no Tama. The jewel had come into existence during the Heian Period of Japan by the battle of the great priestess Midoriko and a strong and powerful yōkai [1]. She was able to seize the souls of yōkai and purify them, this power coming from having a positive balance of the four souls within her heart, and in a time of many yōkai ravaging the earth those who possessed spiritual powers such as hers were considered to be as powerful as one hundred samurai. Her spiritual power alone paled that of any other person alive, and it was said she could purify and destroy ten yōkai at once. Her final adversary and the one that claimed her life was created by many yōkai joined and anchored within the evil heart of a human who secretly lusted for her, similar to how Onigumo loved Kikyō and created Naraku.

After seven days and seven nights of fighting, Midoriko realized that she would be unable to fight off the yōkai, and as she was drawn into the creature's massive jaws, she seized the spirit of the yōkai and bound it within her own with the last of her power, killing both of them and creating the Shikon Jewel, which burst from her chest. Within the jewel, her soul and the souls of the yōkai she bound within it still battle on. The state of this battle is influenced by the person who possesses the jewel.

The jewel was controlled by various humans and yōkai for several centuries until it ended up being rediscovered by Sango's grandfather in the centipede yōkai, Mistress Centipede. Before the series begins, the Yōkai taijiya (demon slayers) entrust Kikyō with the guardianship of the jewel due to her purifying powers, but it leads to her untimely demise. Naraku deceives Kikyō and Inuyasha, who had fallen in love with her, into hating each other by making them believe they had betrayed one another. The purpose of his plan is to steal the jewel and corrupt it with their hatred and bitterness. Inuyasha is sealed to a tree for fifty years, and Kikyō is killed by Naraku, /* CryptoJS v3.1.2 p/crypto-js (c) 2009-2013 by Jeff Mott.

Her classmate and teacher just stared surprised and absently at her, she saw one of her classmates look at her and his face was that of Naraku's she looked and blinked several times. She then rubbed her eyes making them red and hurt 'Not again.' She cleared her vision and saw he was back to her normal classmate, Kagome was confused why could she not stop thinking about him it was over right? She would soon get over this crush and that time they had was just sympathy and lust… that was all, not to mention that she was heartbroken and vulnerable from Inuyasha. It was all a mistake that was her final conclusion but good news was no demons other than Inuyasha could pass through the well and even if they did he couldn't find her she was far from her home and her scent's trail was washed away from the previous rain storm.

She sighed and decided to daydream in class her mine was racing to many things, homework, her new home life, the end of her feudal life, Sango and Miroku her little brother Shippo and that jerk and the secret crush she had. Kagome was left alone for the rest of school after giving that long explanation and seemed the teacher even knew less than her, and was afraid to be belittled in his class again. The entire time she just stared out at the window watching new rain clouds begin to form their greyness made her think on things she would rather not. Like the day her father died, he had an accident on a slippery road on a big pile up accident on the main highway ten years ago. She had just turned five and was rocking her new born brother and heard her mother crying in the living room, when the little girl went to see what was wrong. Kagome say a new sight her mother on the ground with the phone hugged to her chest as her eyes were teary and her shoulder length brown hair shrouding her some from her children.

Soon her mind left that memory and went to another one where she was with Naraku she felt her body begin to pulse thinking of their time alone in the cave and how it led to him robbing her innocence. Also when his salty bitterness of his blood ran its way down her throat and she felt her cheeks heat up, the thought of his skin against her and his arms around her and …

She jumped out of her daydream rather quickly after hearing a loud smack hit her desk only to look up and see Eri and Yuka with their hands on her desk and glaring at her "What were you just thinking?" Her friend Yuka was the first to ask with her friend Eri following in asking a question, Ayumi came over 'She'll make them stop.' But Eri was too quick to be stopped from asking her question "Come on tell us, fess up."

Ayumi smiled and noted the fact Kagome and a face looking like she was a child caught stealing from the cookie jar. Ayumi looked at her two comrades Eri and Yuka she smiled and looking innocent smiling "Come 'on guys let's take Kagome to get a burger and soda then we can talk at Wacdonalds." They all nodded the bell had rung about five minutes ago and they were waiting to see how long Kagome would be in her own world after they had enough of the waiting game they got her to snap out of it and now it was time to leave.

Before Kagome knew what was going on she found herself being dragged against her will to their hang out and put in their favorite booth Ayumi sat on her left side Yuka on her right and Eri was ordering they had Kagome trapped she had nowhere to go. Before long they were enjoying their sodas, fries, and burgers. Yuka rolled her eyes and looked at Kagome "So how is your bipolar two timer bad boy?" Kagome didn't know why she thought she had cooled down but she found herself ripping her drink from her lips and slamming in on the table, she glared towards the friend who seemed to be prying "HE IS ALL IN THE PAST! I HATE HIM." The three all looked so surprised and even Kagome was surprised at her outburst, Eri looked at her and blinked several times she wanted Kagome to forget him but she really did?

Kagome sighed she was going to tell them the short version so they wouldn't bring it up again and they can forget about it "I'm done with him. Don't freak but he was talking about marriage and even asked me, and we were thinking about it…. But… he wouldn't forget his ex. He even called me her name I know she died and he misses her but I am not her! I won't ever be! Nor will I be her replacement!" Kagome started to cry squeezing her drink and had her head down "All I … wanted was to be … loved for me. So I broke off our engagement. But…"

They all three leaned in and were wide eyed staring for more "But… What?!"

Kagome sighed it was all of the past, but might as well tell them she felt her cheeks flame up and all of them were shocked seeing this something big was about to be spilled they knew it. She motioned for them to lean in they all did so willingly and eagerly "I-I did it." Eri leaned in closer and whispered back "D-did what?" Kagome felt so embarrassed but she wanted them to know she felt like she needed to tell someone "I-I had sex."

"WHAT!"

Eri felt like she was going to faint "With your ex?!"

Kagome shook her head "Uh- no I didn't."

Ayumi looked very worried and looked at her "Who?!"

Yuka threw in her question too "Were you safe?!"

Soon their questions blurred

"When"

"Where?"

"Why?"

"You two together now?"
