A/N: I am super excited to be finally posting this fanfic for you all. I have had this idea in my head for a long time, and I've been working on writing it for the past couple months. I usually write fanfiction for Naruto and Bleach, and this is my first Inuyasha fanfic. I am kind of nervous for it, but I'm really happy about how this fanfic idea has shaped up. Enjoy!

"Why is it so hot?" Kagome asked aloud, her hands pulling at her hair to hurriedly put it up. The only response she got was a few birds chirping in the surrounding trees. She moved over to the other side of the path that had some shade from the trees, and she fanned her face. It's supposed to be Fall now, but this is probably the hottest day we've had all year… I'm thankful though. To still be able to experience this life here in the feudal era.

It had been over three years since she first came down the well, and it had been over a year since they defeated Naraku and the Shikon jewel disappeared by her wish. To her surprise, she was able to continue her travels to and from the feudal era through the well without the jewel. Over the past year, she had split her time between her time and the feudal era, but after graduating high school and celebrating her eighteenth birthday, her primary time was now spent in the feudal era. She and her friends now traveled the lands and helped cleanse villages of problematic demons.

Ah, my friends. The thought of a specific white-haired half-demon sparked irritation, and her eye started to twitch. Yesterday morning she and Inuyasha had gotten into an argument that led with her leaving Kaede's village to go off on her own for a bit to blow off some steam. By this morning she had gotten over her anger and was going to return to the village, however, she found something to distract her. She was now heading towards a village that she heard rumors of being harassed by demons.

A year ago, she wouldn't have been bold enough to travel on her own to go take down a demon. She was mostly dependent on her groups support to take them down. However, after taking down Naraku, she spent a lot of time in the feudal era tracking down priestesses to help her grow her power, and she now felt much more confident in herself and her abilities. She found that her abilities were much different that her ancestor Kikyo, but that was something that turned out better for her in the long run.

Topping the hill, she stopped and found herself stopping to admire the sight of the village that was nestled down in the small valley. For a town that's having troubles with a demon, you couldn't really tell from the looks of it. Maybe I misheard, or I am at the wrong village. Despite her uncertainty, she started down the path to the village anyways. The sun would start to set soon, and she would need to stay somewhere for the night.

She had only made it halfway down the path when she realized she was being watched, and she stopped in her tracks. A hand going to the knife she had started to travel with after one of her priestess mentors got her used to handling more weapons than her bow and arrow. Sending out her aura in search of a demon, she found no demonic aura around. Where is-

"You must be the Shikon priestess."

A male voice came from behind her, she relaxed and turned her head to look behind her. A man that stood a head higher than herself was leaning against a tree beside the path she was on. His green eyes shined with the sun on them, and the smile that graced his face was slowly turning to a smirk. She let her arms fall to rest at her sides. "What gave it away?"

"The clothing is not quite that common of a priestess. Let alone, most young women around here." The man replied, his arms crossed over his chest, his smirk holding on his face.

Looking down at herself, she had moved past her school uniform after graduation, and now wore more clothes that would be useful while she traveled or in a fight. She happened to be in leggings and a tank top, the long sleeve shirt she had attempted to wear was now wrapped around her waist, as the weather was much warmer than she anticipated it would be. Her eyes moved back to focus on the man. "I guess I should expect that at this point, as you are not the first person to call me out because of the clothing I wear."

"There's nothing wrong with it," the man added hurriedly. "It just stands out rather obviously to what the traditional priestess wears."

That finally brought a smile to Kagome's face, as she waved a hand. "I guess I'm not that into tradition."

The man moved from the tree, approaching her until he was a couple of feet away. "Are you traveling to the village?"

"That's the plan," Kagome replied, as she started walking again. She noticed how the man kept up with her pace. "Are you from the village?"

"Yes I am. A few of us go out before the sun starts to set in order to make sure all the children come inside before dark," the man said, his eyes studying Kagome. "There have been a couple of demons that have been coming around at night."

"Someone mentioned it at the village I was staying at this morning, and I thought I would travel over and see if there was anything I could do to help." Kagome said, as they got closer to the edge of the village.

"How kind of you," the man said, as he clasped his hands together behind his back. "You should talk to our Lord. His palace is on the eastern side of the village."

Kagome realized that the man had stopped walking alongside her, and she slowed to a stop herself. Turning to face the man, she nodded once. "Thank you- uh, I'm sorry. I didn't get your name."

"My name is Kenji," the man replied, as he reached forward and gently took her hand. He delivered a gentle kiss to it. "Lady Kagome."

Kagome smiled at the gesture. "You know my name."

"I know that I addressed you as the Shikon priestess at first, but you have gathered a reputation after all," Kenji said, letting her hand go. "I would be surprised if there was anyone around here who hasn't heard of you, Lady Kagome."

"Kagome is just fine… Thank you for the conversation Kenji." Kagome said, flashing another smile, before she started into the village by herself.

It didn't take her long to find the lord's palace, and she didn't have to do more than mention her name for the servants to let her in to see the lord. When she was finally standing in front of him, she bowed her head respectfully before speaking. "My name is-"

"Lady Kagome," the lord interrupted her, giving a nod of his head. "We are aware of who you are. What business do you have with my village?"

To the point, as expected of a lord. "I was traveling and came across knowledge of this village being under attack from demons, and I would like to offer my services to help rid of the demons."

"That would be appreciated," the lord replied, his hands clasped together. "For the last several days our village has been getting attacked by a pair of demons that seem to only strike when the sun is down. They have only killed one of our people, but that is one too many. If you could get rid of the demons we will pay high amounts."

Kagome nodded once. "I will take on the challenge, and I will hopefully be able to rid the demons from your village for you."

"Very well," the lord motioned to a woman. "Please escort the priestess to a room."

"Thank you." Kagome said, bowing her head again respectfully, before she followed the woman out of the room.

"It's been a while," the woman said, after they walked in silence for a moment. "Since the last time you were here."

I've been here before? Kagome thought to herself, humming as she tried to remember. "It must have been a while, because I'm having the hardest time remembering."

"It was almost three years ago," the woman informed her, as they finally reached a room. She slid open the door. "You were with a few others, and you dressed differently."

"The old school uniform," Kagome said, laughing at the thought. "I guess if it was close to three years ago, then it makes sense I why I don't remember. I've traveled to so many different villages over the last three years."

The woman offered her a smile, before motioning to the room. "This is where you'll be staying. If you need anything while you are here, please don't hesitate to ask. Dinner should be ready in fifteen minutes."

"Thank you." Kagome replied, waiting until after the woman left to set her bag down in her room. Stretching her arms up above herself, she felt an ache in her muscles from how long she spent traveling yesterday and today. Walking back to the open doorway, she looked out on the sky where the sun was beginning to set. Maybe if I looked back in an old journal from three years ago I could find something about this place. Of course, my old journals are at home, and I am a good ways away from home right now. I guess I can look whenever I go back.

A light wind went past her, and it brought a chill down her spine. Her eyes narrowed as her focus went to the forest in the distance. Where are those demons?

Later that night

Opening her eyes, Kagome hummed lowly as she felt something was off. After dinner, she spent the rest of the evening relaxing, and had finally laid down to get some rest once the sun had fully disappeared. However, she hadn't been down for more than half an hour, before she got a strange feeling. Laying there for a moment longer, her aura spiked with tension. Sitting up she used pushed her aura out, and pulled it quickly back in after it rubbed against a demonic one. Jumping up, she quickly changed, and took off outside her room.

It took her nearly half an hour to finally get to a point to approach the demons. She had tried to lure them away from the village to try to keep damage minimal, and it only got them to the edge when she finally decided they were far enough. Finally, she realized she was dealing with two toad demons. Pulling an arrow out of her quiver, she grabbed her bow, and with a quick movement, she had shot the arrow through the arm of one of the demons.

That was enough to cause the demon she hit to holler in pain, and both turned to face her as she walked out of the shadows. The demon she hit scowled at her. "A lowly priestess."

The other demon cackled. "Oh brother, you just got hit by a priestess. You're growing pretty weak."

"Oh please," the injured demon glared in Kagome's direction. "The little priestess caught me off guard. As if she could ever take me down."

"You talk as if you are above me," Kagome started, attaching her bow onto her back again. "Yet you find terrorizing humans as enjoyable, and I find that disgraceful."

Both demons cackled this time, and the one she hadn't injured spoke. "Well, now we've got ourselves a priestess to terrorize. You picked the wrong day to play hero."

Raising a hand in the two demons direction, Kagome gained a small smirk on her face. "I wouldn't underestimate me. I'm not your average priestess."

A half hour later

Stepping back into the compound where her room was, Kagome released a long breath, as she let her shoulders relax. Her heart raced like it usually did whenever she engaged in a fight, and it only seemed to amplify as she took down both of those demons. The sound of footsteps other than her own had her pause outside her room.

"Lady Kagome."

Looking over her shoulder, Kagome found herself looking at the woman who had escorted her to her room earlier. "I thought everyone was asleep."

"I noticed you leave," the woman replied, as she stepped closer. Her hands clasped together in front of her, as she eyed Kagome with concern. "You've got blood on you."

Glancing down at the drying blood on one of her arms and part of her clothes, Kagome quickly waved a hand to reassure the woman. "I'm alright. It's not mine."

That brought a smile to the woman's face. "You got rid of the demons then?"

The hopeful tone in the woman's voice made Kagome's own smile grow. "They won't be bothering your village anymore."

The woman's smile grew, as she motioned for Kagome to follow her. "Come with me."

As they walked past some of the occupied rooms in the palace, they both kept quiet as to not wake anyone up. Kagome began to feel the extent of her exhaustion from fighting with those demons, and her aching muscles seemed like they were screaming at her to just go to sleep right then and there. However, the sound of running water caught her attention, and she found herself being led into a hot springs area just behind the palace.

"It's the private hot springs," the woman explained, as she grabbed a kimono from a storage room nearby. "I figured you might want a bath after all of that."

"You have no idea how amazing that sounds," Kagome sighed, as she offered the woman a smile. "Thank you."

"You're welcome… You may use this kimono when you get out if you like." Was the last thing the woman said after she set the kimono down, and turned to leave.

Once she was on her own, Kagome began to remove her weapons and clothes, and entered the hot water. Easing herself in until she was chest deep, Kagome relaxed back, and sighed heavily. This is heavenly. If only this could be the reward every time I take down a demon.

The next morning

"Thank you for your help Lady Kagome!" Was the last thing Kagome heard as she exited the palace. The warmth from the sun's rays welcomed her, as she started her journey back up the path she had used to enter the village the day before. When she had met with the lord that morning to inform him that she took care of the demons, the lord had stuck to his word on attempting to pay her high amounts. She managed to negotiate it down to an amount that she was more comfortable in accepting. Along with the promise that if she was ever nearby in the future that she'd visit them again.

She had neared the village limits when she realized she was being watched again. She stopped walking after making contact with the green eyes watching her. "Kenji."

At her addressing him, Kenji chuckled from where he was perched on one of the tree branches near the path. "Lady Kagome."

"Kagome." Kagome corrected, a smile on her own face.

"Right," Kenji smirked. "Leaving so soon?"

"Well, I finished what I came here to do." Kagome replied, and she found herself thinking of Inuyasha at the sight of how relaxed Kenji seemed to be as he perched on that tree branch.

"I figured you had since everyone managed to sleep through the night, and there were no demons in sight," Kenji said, his eyes have been scanning the sight of his village in the distance, then they returned back to her. "Did you enjoy your stay?"

Turning back to look at the village herself, Kagome nodded once. "I did… Apparently, this is not my first time here."

"Well, I could have told you that?"

"Is that how you knew my name?"

"Not exactly," Kenji grinned. "I did know it was Kagome. However, it wasn't until after you defeated Naraku and became an established priestess that you earned the title of Lady Kagome."

Kagome had to fight the urge to roll her eyes at the title, as she met Kenji's green eyes again. "Well, everyone here seems to remember me being here the last time, and I can't for the life of me remember it."

Kenji shrugged. "Don't feel bad. It was three years ago after all… You were here with your friends, and they got rid of a demon for us."

"That, unfortunately, doesn't help me narrow it down." Kagome said, laughing along with Kenji.

"Maybe you'll remember this time then."

Sharing a smile with Kenji, Kagome nodded once. "Maybe I will… Enjoy the day, Kenji."

Her journey away from the village was full of peaceful silence. The only sound that graced her ears was the occasional bird or the whistle of the Fall wind. Compared to the bustling sound of the villagers she had listened to all morning, Kagome was finding herself thinking more and more about being back with her friends. The children in the village had her specifically thinking of one kitsune in particular. I miss my Shippo…

Shortly after the demise of Naraku, Kagome took Shippo more under her wing, and had treated him like he was her own. Their relationship had grown to one of mother and son, as she did her best to help him grow and give him all the love he needed. I miss Shippo and my friends.

Having reached the area where the path split into two directions, she stopped and glanced down each. The path to the left would take her in the direction of Kaede's village, and the path to the right would take her away. Without any more thought, she started down the left path. I know Inuyasha and I are probably going to pick up our argument where we left off when I get back to Kaede's village. I don't even care. I just miss everyone- Coming to a stop, Kagome was overcome by a strange feeling. As the Fall wind swept past her the feeling seemed almost warm and welcoming, and it had her closing her eyes in peace for a moment. However, a much darker feeling hit her like a slap in the face. Her eyes snapped open, and without hesitation, she turned around and started running down the other path away from Kaede's village. I don't know what this is, but I know it can't be good.

Meanwhile

"Stop that singing Rin!" Jaken squawked with irritation at how the young girl skipped around and sung about their surroundings.

"Master Jaken, you should sing too. It's a beautiful day!" Rin called back to Jaken, before she continued on skipping around and singing. Not at all bothered at how Jaken was clearly growing irritated.

As Rin started to skip farther forward, Jaken scowled again. "Rin, you need to-"

"Jaken." Sesshomaru interrupted him, barely giving him a side-eyed glance in order to silence him.

"Forgive me, Lord Sesshomaru." Jaken said, falling back to walk alongside Ah-Un. Muttering under his breath about how Rin was trying to cause his mind to explode.

They traveled forward for another few minutes, and Rin was nearly twenty feet ahead of them at this point. She was just about to slow down to return back to the others when a foreign demon appeared in front of her. Startled at the sudden appearance, Rin felt slight fear until Sesshomaru appeared at her side. His hand on the hilt of Tokijin.

"State your business." Sesshomaru spoke after a moment of silence.

The demon raised his arm to point his claw at Rin. "The girl."

Sesshomaru's golden eyes narrowed, but just before he could unsheathe Tokijin, the demon's attention moved towards the tree line. Breaking through in a blur of black and yellow, the person slammed into the demon, and a pink glow came from their hands and purified the demon once they hit the ground. Realizing he recognized the person, Sesshomaru relaxed a little, as it was the miko who traveled with Inuyasha.

Kagome let her pink purifying power leave her hand, before she walked over to kneel in front of Rin. "You need to stop."

Confusion filled Rin's face. "I'm not doing anything."

"I could sense you from the village twenty minutes east of here..." Kagome trailed off, as she realized Rin had no idea what she was talking about. "You don't know."

"Miko," Sesshomaru said to get her attention. "What is the meaning of this?"

Kagome's focus went back to Rin, as she offered her a smile. "Rin… You remember me right? I'm Kagome."

"I remember you." Rin confirmed with a nod of her head.

Kagome summoned her power to her hand, and reached towards Rin. However, it brushed up against another power that was radiating off of Rin. The innocent look in Rin's eyes confirmed Kagome's suspicions that the young girl was oblivious to the power she was emitting. "Oh my goodness."

Irritated that the lack of response he received from Kagome, Sesshomaru took a step closer to her. His golden eyes narrowing once again. "Miko-" Breaking off as he became all too aware of demons nearby. A soft fog was crawling out from the trees, and began to surround them.

"Fog?" Kagome questioned aloud, turning around as she ushered Rin to stay behind where she and Sesshomaru were standing. This doesn't make any sense. Where did this fog come from? She realized that Sesshomaru's eyes were still on her. "Rin's emitting a large amount of power. You may have not noticed it since she travels with you, and you've become acclimated to it. However, it's basically like a beacon to every demon around here or really anyone who wants to pick a fight."

The demons were closing in, and Sesshomaru's hand returned to Tokijin. "Rin, go to Ah-Un."

With a flick of her wrist, Kagome raised a barrier around Rin to add more protection. Her eyes swept around them as the fog grew thicker, and it was slightly becoming harder for her to see. She spread out her aura to compensate for her lack of vision. She was hit with that same dark feeling, then they were surrounded by demons and fighting them off.

Relying on her instincts and aura to help guide her, she managed to take down a few demons over the next several minutes. She used her knife and her purification power on one demon, and turned to pull out her bow. She shot out one of her purifying arrows, and it hit a demon just as Sesshomaru's poison did. Her eyes barely made out his golden ones, before she finally felt something new touch her stretched out aura. Without hesitation, she took off running past the tree line. The fog grew denser as she went. Maybe that means I'm about to find the source of this manufactured fog. She came to a stop in a clearing where she finally found herself staring at what was creating the fog. Preparing to shoot off an arrow, she was surprised when the fog started to let up a little, and she found herself looking at a demon with what seemed like a human body. It's face covered with a hood. She lowered her bow and arrow just as Sesshomaru appeared in the clearing as well. "Who are you?!"

The demon angled themselves towards Kagome at her question, and a low deep voice replied, "I want the spiritual power of the priestess."

Kagome raised an eyebrow at the demon answering her honestly. "What would you accomplish taking the power of the priestess?"

"It is not I who will take the power," the demon replied, standing up from where they had been sitting by the base of the tree behind them. "I just deliver them."

"Deliver them to who?" Kagome asked.

"It's none of your concern," the demon replied, finally raising his head to show his darkened eyes. "Your power is the only thing of value."

Lifting her bow and arrow back up, Kagome glared back at the guy. "Over my dead body will I be going anywhere with you."

"Don't tempt me," the demon smirked at her. "You're the Shikon priestess, and all that power you have is almost too delicious to pass up. However, you're not the priestess I am here for today."

Kagome's blood ran cold as she realized he was talking about Rin, and she just took a step forward. "I'm the only priestess here."

That made the demon's smirk grow. "Don't bother lying. I've been tracking the child for days," his eyes flickered over to Sesshomaru for the first time since they arrived in the clearing. "For someone who's supposed to be the powerful Lord of the West, it's been surprisingly easy to track the child."

Sesshomaru's eyes narrowed, as poison began to drip from his claws. However, before he could move forward, an arrow pierced through the demon's shoulder, and with that the fog started to disappear completely.

"You wench!" The demon yellowed at Kagome after narrowly managing to yank the purifying arrow out of his shoulder before it could kill him, but it left behind awful scars on that side of his body. His eyes grew menacing as he disappeared.

Kagome didn't hesitate to spin around and run back in Rin's direction. She noticed Sesshomaru traveling that way as well. "I weakened him enough to stop the fog, but it's not going to stop him."

The sound of Jaken hollering at Rin to stay back caught their attention, and they both picked up their pace. Sesshomaru was much faster than Kagome in arriving back to the path where Rin, Ah-Un, and Jaken were. Just in time to see a demon attempt to get to Rin, but get purified by the barrier Kagome put up around Rin.

They were back into fighting demons, but there was no fog getting in the way this time. Which didn't mean much for Sesshomaru, who had no trouble fighting in the fog, but it helped Kagome get back into her proper groove of fighting. She spent her time searching for the demon with the fog to show himself, but found more of the demons working for him were appearing and getting in the way.

It wasn't until after the third demon she had taken down that the fog demon finally showed up, and she moved behind some trees to get a proper look of him. He was currently focused on Sesshomaru, and it gave her the opportunity to study him. More specifically how he fights, and it appeared that his weapon of choice was actually apart of his body. His hand and arm could separate from his body, and it allowed him to stay farther away from his opponent. He's a long distance fighter. He dodges easily, and it gives him an advantage. However, going up against Sesshomaru is not going to end well long distance or not.

Without much warning, the situation changed, as the fog demon moved and was replaced with four other demons to oppose Sesshomaru. All of which were not as careful to stay long distance. Kagome knew exactly where the demon was heading, and the demon made contact with Jaken. Rin, without hesitation, broke free of Kagome's barrier and moved to Jaken.

"Rin no!" Kagome exclaimed, running out of the treeline, as the fog demon had separated his hand from his body, and was going straight for Rin. A knife in hand. The world slowed down as she crossed the path, and moved in front of Rin. Pushing her hand back to put another barrier around Rin and Jaken this time, but one without purification to keep Jaken safe. However, she was brought painfully back to reality when the fog demons knife impaled her stomach.

"You foolish woman." The fog demon told her, landing on the ground, and keeping his knife lodged into her stomach.

"Why would you try to attack Rin if you are after her power? Why would you try to kill her?" Kagome asked, fighting to stay in control while the pain got worse each time he moved.

The demon shrugged, his smirk back on his face. "I wouldn't have killed her, but no one said I couldn't see her close to her death… Looks like you'll be close to your death once I take my knife out of you. Then I'll be free to go after the girl, as my friends are distracting the dog demon lord."

Kagome's eyes narrowed as she felt him start to slide the knife out of her, but she was quick to grab onto it and keep it in place.

After a moment of trying to get the knife back, the fog demon scowled at her. "What are you doing? Trying to prolong your life by a few minutes? Do I have to kill you now? You've already made a mistake getting in the way to try to rescue the child."

A smirk grew onto Kagome's face, as her grip changed to holding his hand that was still around the knife's handle. "The only one who made a mistake today is you."

In a split second, Kagome had sent her purifying power from the demon's hand up to his arm, and all the way to his body. The intensity of her power had the demon screaming in pain. As if her purification wasn't enough, the demon was hit with Sesshomaru's poison and fell to the ground dead.

With the enemy finally dead, Kagome immediate knelt down, and brought a hand to her abdomen. The pain seemingly growing worse now that there wasn't the distraction of the demons around.

"Kagome!" Rin exclaimed, once again, breaking free of Kagome's barrier.

Kagome, however, held up her free hand to keep Rin at a distance, but she offered that hand for Rin to hold. "Are you okay, Rin?"

"I'm okay," Rin replied hurriedly, as her eyes were filling with water. "But you're not okay. You're hurt."

Realizing how upsetting this was for Rin, Kagome looked around her towards Jaken. "Rin, I think Jaken needs to walk off his own injuries, and you should go with him."

"Woman I-"

"Jaken." Sesshomaru interrupted him.

Nodding immediately, Jaken motioned for Ah-Un to follow. "Rin let's go off this way."

A tear slipped down Rin's cheek, as she shook her head. "No. But Kagome-"

"It's okay Rin. You don't need to worry about me. You just need to worry about Jaken." Kagome interrupted her with a smile on her face, as she let go of Rin's hand. It took a moment, but Rin finally moved along with Jaken and Ah-Un. It wasn't until they were out of sight that Kagome hissed at the pain that went through her abdomen. While her brain scrambled trying to figure out what she should do, her eyes picked up on Sesshomaru, who had not gone after the others. "You should go. Rin seemed pretty shaken up, and I think it's best if she get away from here."

Despite Kagome's words, Sesshomaru remained where he was, and he was silent as he watched her.

Feeling slightly irritated at his mute nature and him remaining standing there, Kagome focused back on her current situation. Grabbing some bandages from her bag, she knew that her best chance was to take the blade out, wrap it up, and hope for the best. The best being that I will probably not die right away, and just in several minutes from now. Despite the probable outcome of death, Kagome was quick as she finally removed the knife from her stomach, she wrapped it as quickly as she could, and added pressure to both sides. Her shoulders resting back on the tree behind her, as her priestess power rose to try to aid in the healing.

After coming to terms this was the best she could do, Kagome leaned her head back on the tree and sighed. Her eyes slid back over to see Sesshomaru was still standing there. "Do you need something?"

Sesshomaru appeared in front of her, his golden eyes piercing into hers. "Why could you sense where Rin was?"

Cringing from the pain, Kagome tried to settle back again. "Like I said, she has spiritual powers. It must have started recently, because it would have been noticed before now."

"That's not the answer to my question," Sesshomaru said, remaining looming over where she was sitting. "Why could you sense where Rin was? You said you were twenty minutes away. It's unlikely a mere human could sense spiritual abilities that far away. Miko or not."

His demanding tone unsettled her, but Kagome let it go and shrugged. "I don't know what to tell you. It doesn't make sense to me either. One minute I was about to go home, the next I was overcome with the sense of her powers… Maybe it's because they kind of remind me of my own-" Breaking off as she coughed, Kagome paled at the blood that came from her mouth. Realizing she was close to losing consciousness, her eyes moved up to the sky. "Look, I'm probably going to die from blood loss pretty soon, so I just want to say one thing. With Rin's spiritual powers coming in so early, she's going to need more protection until she can control that power on her own."

Sesshomaru said nothing in response to Kagome, but he seemed to relax as he stood beside her.

The edges of Kagome's vision began to blur to black. Her eyes swam over the blue sky above them, before finally settling back to Sesshomaru. Gold was the last thing she saw, before everything went black.
