Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha or Code Geass, but if I did things would be totally different.

Darkness is the Light

Black Present

It had been a hug struggle, but they finished it. It was over. The final battle was over and Naraku was dead. Now Kagome had to go home to tell the news. But, would the well let her come back here? That was the question begging to be answered. Midoriko had said the well would stay open as long as Kagome's heart did. Neither her, nor her friends understood what that meant. And now, Kagome was walking toward the well with a crying Shippo attached to her leg.

"Kagome you can't go!" Shippo yelled.

"I have to Shippo. I'm sorry, but you'll see me again." Kagome stopped at the edge of the well, pulling Shippo off her leg. She hugged him to her chest and kissed the top of his head. "Don't worry Shippo, I'll come back." Shippo nodded and sniffled; he jumped down to the ground and went to stand with a transformed Kirara. Sango walked up to Kagome and gave her a hug.

"I'll miss you Kagome. Promise you'll come back soon." Sango pulled out of the embrace and looked at Kagome. It had taken three years, and Kagome looked totally different from the first time they met. Her hair was significantly longer and her eyes more vivid. She was taller too.

"I promise Sango. I wouldn't miss your wedding for the life of me." Sango blushed intensely and Miroku laughed. Then it was his turn.

"Miss Kagome, it has been a pleasure. I hope to see you in the near future." He pulled her into a hug, letting his hand travel south ever so slightly. Kagome pulled away slightly, slapped him on the back of head and yelled, "PERVERT!" Everyone laughed and Miroku scratched the back of his neck nervously. Inuyasha stood behind everyone feeling a little sad. He had loved her in the beginning, really he truly did. But then that changed to a brotherly love. Inuyasha just hadn't had the courage to tell her that.

"Inuyasha." He heard her voice in front of him. When he looked in front of him, a small smile broke out on his face. There she was staring up at him with her usual smile on her delicate face. Kagome gave him a warm hug, to which he hesitantly returned.

"I'll miss you Yasha." Kagome whispered.

"I'll miss you too Kagome. Now get going." Inuyasha pushed her toward the well after breaking their hug. "Can't have 'ya bein' late now can we?" Kagome smiled at him and waved.

"Bye everyone, I'll be back soon!" Kagome jumped down the well with an empty yellow bag and a heart full of hope. But all of that was the past. It was her last happy memory with many sad and angry ones soon to come.

{Tokyo District}

Screaming and blood surrounded the once peaceful city of Tokyo, Japan. But now that beautiful place was gone and replaced with hatred and anger. Guns fired in every direction and pounding feet on the ground reverberated throughout the city. Britannia had recently taken over Japan and renamed it Area 11. Now all Japanese were called elevens and they had little to no freedom. Some of them were considered lucky in the eyes of the Britannian Empire and became Honorary Britannians. But none of them cared; they just wanted their lives back. Something Britannia was certain they would keep. With the recent up rise of Zero, that dream seemed really close to the people of Japan. It's also what it causing the chaos in Tokyo.

"Kill every eleven in sight! Don't let them escape!" Jeremiah yelled from his Nightmare Frame. The Sutherlands followed his orders and shot at any eleven they saw. This was a good day; Zero still hadn't shown up yet. Things were looking good. Well, they were until Jeremiah noticed a bright blue light come from a ruined shrine. He smirked and raced toward the light.

Kagome climbed out the well when she heard shouting, screaming and guns. When she reached the top, the well house was gone, letting her view her destroyed home.

"What happened here?" Kagome asked no one in particular. She stepped forward, away from the well and saw dead bodies everywhere. Something wasn't right. This wasn't her home. But it was. The Higurashi Shrine was ruined. Kagome's thoughts were halted when she heard screeching of wheels coming up the shrine steps. She waited to see what it was and what she saw was terrifying. A colossal machine raced toward her, ready to kill. Kagome screamed and ran. That was her only thought. Her instincts told her one thing, to run. And so she did. Kagome ran faster than she had ever before. This wasn't her time. This wasn't her home. The well must've taken her somewhere else. Somewhere where life for her wasn't safe. Where big ugly machines threatened to kill everyone in its path. And Kagome would find out where this place was. Kagome could hear the machine getting closer to her and she screamed. Her ankle caught on something and Kagome fell to the ground. She braced herself for the impact, but it didn't come. Sure she heard a big boom, but nothing touched her. Well, save for her savior. Kagome looked up a man with a strange helmet on.

"Who are you?" the man laughed.

"I am Zero. Now go, hide somewhere safe." Kagome nodded and did as she was told. She got up and ran down an alley until she came onto a familiar street. It was the street where her old school was. But that was long gone; all that was left was a ruined building. Kagome looked left, then right. She saw no one so she ran across the street, as she did so, an explosion from behind her alerted her to danger and she willed her legs to move faster. When she finally reached the building, Kagome huffed and puffed. She tried to catch her breath while figuring out the hell was going on. This can't be my home. Unless it is, then I'm freakin' screwed. How am I going to get back to the feudal ear? There's danger everywhere I turn. Maybe that guy can help me. He seemed to be the hero in all of this crap. Ha, maybe some psycho decided to rule the world while I was gone. Unfortunately, she wasn't too far off in that thought.

Kagome walked further into the building and found a door. She opened the door and saw a set of stairs leading down. Honestly, below ground sounded a lot safer than above right about now. Kagome ducked under the bent archway and followed the staircase to the old basement of her school. It was cold and damp. Not the best, but it would due for now. Kagome felt around for a light source and found a switch on the wall. She flipped it up and the room was illuminated. The sight before her shocked the crap out of Kagome. At least twenty people were huddled together, terror stricken all looked at her and some of them cried.

"Wh- who are you?" one of the older ones asked. Kagome smiled gently at them.

"I am Kagome Higurashi. Can one of you please tell me what happened to Tokyo?" a little girl smiled at Kagome and left her mother's arms. She ran to Kagome and hugged her.

"You're not a bad person!" the little girl cried. Kagome smiled, laughing.

"No I'm not a bad person. Actually, I don't know where I am. But trust me, I mean you no harm. I can see that those monstrous machines do though. Please tell me what's going on." A man, about mid twenties stood up.

"I'm Ohgi, what has happened here is due to the Britannian Empire taking freedom from us. This place isn't Japan anymore. It's Area 11." Kagome gasped, total shock emanating from her. She fell to her knees, the little girl hugging her.

"Are you okay Miss?" a voice from behind the girl and Kagome sounded through the room. Kagome stood, picking up the girl; she turned to the voice to see the man from earlier.

"Zero! Is everything okay now?" Ohgi asked. Zero nodded.

"Clear these people out of here and find them shelter. I will help the beautiful lady here." The girl's mother took her from Kagome and followed Ohgi out of the abandoned school basement. Zero waited until he was sure they were gone and he took off his helmet, keeping the mask up.

"Now, you'll start by telling me who you are." Lelouch said this calmly.

"I am Kagome Higurashi." Zero nodded.

"Now, what were you doing in the middle of that battle? It was seriously dangerous." Kagome sighed, this guy wasn't going to quit any time soon.

"Well," what was she going to tell him? That she came from a magical well from the feudal era of Japan? Yea sure, likely story. "The last thing I remember is being hit on the head. I woke up in a well and climbed out from some vines on the side of it. And then I was in the middle of this chaos." Well that sounded real enough. Lelouch examined the girl in front of him. She seemed to be telling the truth, but something about her was familiar. Like she was close family or something. Ah well, he would have to clear that up later.

"That doesn't sound good. Well we should probably get you somewhere safer than this, it could cave any minute." Zero stood up and put his helmet back on. Kagome nodded and followed her savior. They walked up the stairs and out into the open. It was twilight by now and Kagome saw another machine waiting for them.

"This is how we're leaving?" Kagome sounded unsure. Zero laughed.

"Yes, you don't think I would walk do you?" Kagome smiled and shook her head. She got into the machine as Zero ushered her to do, he followed suit.

"What is this thing anyway?" Zero closed the door and looked at Kagome. Did she seriously not know what a Nightmare was?

"It's called a Nightmare. Pretty much just a big killing machine." Kagome nodded and sat back. They soon lifted off into the air and Kagome found herself falling asleep. Lelouch heard her breaths even out, he sighed. This girl would make good Black Knight material. Maybe she could be of use.

"Lelouch, are you on your way back?"

"Yes C.C. I will be back shortly. And I have someone with me. She was being attacked by a nightmare and I saved her." Lelouch knew he shouldn't have, but he did. He couldn't let one of his people die while in his presence. It was unthinkable.

"Very well. Be back within the hour." The line was disconnected and Lelouch was left in silence. Lelouch made a call to Kallen.

"Yes sir?"

"Kallen, make up a room for a special guest. It is very clear that she needs much rest." Lelouch stated.

"Yes Zero, I will get right on it." Kallen replied. He was always ordering her around like that. But it was what came with the job description.

"Thank you." Then he hung up. It hadn't taken very long for Lelouch to arrive at the Black Knights' Headquarters. He put his helmet back on and opened the capsule of the Nightmare. Lelouch picked up Kagome bridal style and jumped out of the Nightmare. Kallen was immediately by his side looking at the strange girl in his arms.

"Who's she?"

"This is Kagome Higurashi. I saved her and then found her with the group Ohgi saved." Kallen nodded. She walked off when said man called her name.

"Oh by the way, her room is first door on the left of the second floor!" Lelouch heard Kallen and went to the elevator. He went to the second floor and opened the first door on the left. Kagome's eyes fluttered open and she yawned one of those really girly yawns.

"Girly enough?" Kagome laughed sarcastically. She looked around and then noticed she wasn't on the ground.

"Umm, you can let me down now." Lelouch shrugged and dropped her on her butt. Kagome winced, squealed and then rubbed her sore bottom. "You couldn't have been nicer about it?"

"Nope." Lelouch helped her up and then showed her around her room. "Well this is pretty much it. If you need anything call for Kallen, she can help you." And then he left. Leaving Kagome to explore her new room. She shrugged and jumped, doing a front flip… kinda; onto her bed. Kagome looked up at the ceiling and sighed. What had happened to her family during that battle? Were they safe? And if so, where were they? The well was probably destroyed by now, but even still, Kagome had to know if her family was safe. Then of course, there was the little detail of the well. What if it was destroyed? She wouldn't be able to keep her promise to Shippo and Sango. Something Kagome didn't do. They would hate her forever!

"Don't' kid yourself Kagome. They won't hate you… they may be mad, but… oh who am I kidding? They'll be furious." Kagome buried her face in her pillow and cried herself to sleep. Things were definitely not looking up for her.

Poor little Kagome. She's far from her own time and has no idea what to do. What will happen with Zero? And what will our time traveler do about school? Find out in the next Chapter,
