Kagome felt a bad feeling overcome her as they reached the Western lands and Sesshomaru ushered them through the gates. She shook it off as nothing, Naraku was dead after all. What was there to be afraid of? She ignored her feeling and smiled and said goodnight to Sesshomaru as she laid down with the children. She closed her eyes after they had fallen asleep, but her sleep was anything but peaceful.

The doors to the Eastern throne room were suddenly forced open and several youkai in armor walked in, but only two of them stood out. One was a young demoness dressed in the colors of the Northern Palace.

"Lady Kimi, what is the meaning of this?"

Theron asked as he stood and got infront of his mate.

"You should have left well enough alone old man."

The young demoness, Lady Kimi said as she walked closer.

"You have no business here, leave immediately."

Cyan said and Kimi smirked at her.

"Oh I have business here, and I won't be leaving till I'm done."

She said before drawing her blade and charging at Theron. He wasn't expecting that so he didn't have time to defend himself and her sword ran through his chest, piercing his heart.

"Theron!"

Cyan yelled as she ran to her mate. Kimi laughed as she pulled out her sword and slung the blood off.

"Why are you doing this!"

Cyan yelled, tears in her eyes at the loss of her mate.

"Because, that wench of a daughter of yours took my future mate. She should have stayed wherever she was, but because she didn't you two will die."

Kimi said before raising her sword above her. Cyan growled at her and lunged at her, knocking her to the ground. The force made Kimi drop her sword.

"Lady Kimi!"

The guards yelled, but Kimi growled at them to stay back. Her and Cyan fought, but in the end Kimi came out on top with her claws around Cyan's throat.

"You put up one hell of a fight, but now it's over."

Kimi said before raking her claws across Cyan's throat. She got up, picked up her sword and started to leave.

"She'll kill you for this."

Cyan's hoarse voice said and Kimi turned with hateful eyes to look at her before smiling evilly at her.

"We'll see about that."

She said before walking out and leaving the Lady of the East to die next to her already fallen mate.

Kagome shot up from the bed and gasped. She felt tears running down her face and turned to see Shippo and Rin were both still sound asleep.

'W-What was that?'

Kagome wondered as flashes of her dream came back to her. Images of her mother and father lying dead on the floor made the tears stream down even more.

'I don't know, but I think we should get over to the Eastern Palace and quick.'

Kagome's beast said and she nodded in agreement. She got to her feet and sought out Sesshomaru, but when she couldn't find him she just gave up and went to his study and wrote him a quick note before heading to the courtyard below and summoning her youkai cloud beneath her and heading off towards the East. The feeling of dread increased the closer she got and Kagome sped up so she entered her ball of light and appeared at the Eastern Palace just as the sun was rising above the horizon.

She slowly made her way through the halls and didn't like the fact that the place seemed deserted. It was when she was passing down the northern hallway and she happened to glance outside to the garden that she realized why the palace seemed deserted. All the guards, servants, and other workers that had lived in the palace were dead and their bodies were piled up outside. All strewn across the garden for anyone to see.

"Oh my God."

Kagome gasped as she saw the bodies of her people dead.

'Mom! Dad!'

Kagome thought and took off running at youkai speeds towards the throne room. She pushed one of the forest green doors open and a squeak escaped her at the scene before her.

"No."

Kagome said as she fell to her knees, fresh tears running down her face at the sight of her mother and father dead on the floor.

"No, it had only been a dream. This can't be real. They can't be dead."

Kagome said to herself, but there was no denying what she saw. She couldn't tear her eyes away from their bodies. After a while she lost herself completely to her emotions and her beast took over so that Kagome could find some way to deal with her loss. She broke everything in sight. Windows, tables, walls, anything. She ran through the halls of the palace with tears streaming down her face as she mindlessly let out her emotions and broke everything. She finally made it to the top of the palace and howled out her sorrow for all to hear. When she finished she laid her head down on her paws and whimpered as she cried. She'd lost her parents right after she'd just got them back. She'd lost everything.
