Part 1: The Beginning..


Prologue: Memories

"Speaking"
"Thinking"


"It's been almost three weeks since it's happened and I still can't believe that it's finally over." Shocking bright blue eyes stared out at the beautiful field; a small smile appeared on the person's face as they silently gazed at the beauty in front of them. The field was huge and bright green grass covered the earth. Flowers of every kind and color littered the ground giving the field peaceful and tranquil scenery. Butterflies and bees flew around resting on the flowers only adding to the field's beauty. Beautiful healthy trees were of to the left creating sort of a fence separating the empty field from the buzzing with life forest giving the area a beautiful contrast between scenery. A young miko of the age 16 was sitting in the middle of this field fully enjoying the peace the field gave off and she watched as the sun fell turning the sky a light orange color that was slowly descending across the blue sky above her head. Said miko was wearing a green skirt that ended abit above her knees and a white long sleeve shirt with green cuffs and a red tie in the front.

A light breeze passed by, moving the miko's raven hair in front of her face making her move the mass of black behind her ear. Closing her eyes the miko listened to the soft sound made by the waving grass and flowers and her smile only increased at the sound as a calming feeling overcame her. Letting herself fall backwards she laid on her back with her arms spread out.

Seeing something fly into her vision the miko furrowed her eyebrows a small bit before sitting up. Seeing that it was only a light blue butterfly she smiled again and held out her hand for the little insect. Moments later the butterfly landed on her out stretched index finger making the smile on her face grow and she closed her eyes. "It's so peaceful now……"


Xx.Flashback.xX


A large group of 11 came to a stop due to the hundreds of demons and poisonous insects. In the group there were 4 females and 9 males. The first female in the group was a young teenager at the age of 16. She had wavy raven colored hair that showed a dark navy blue in the sun and fell over her shoulders and ending at the middle of her back. She wore a white long sleeved shirt that had a green collar and cuffs. In front of the shirt holding the collar in place was a red tie. She wore a green shirt that ended abit above the knees and she wore high white socks that ended at the middle of her shins. And on her feet were regular brown slip on shoes.

The second female was older than the first by a couple years at least the age of 18. She wore a full body suit that was black in color and she had pink armor in various places on her body. She had a metal mask hanging from her neck and her long dark brown hair that ended at her waist was tied up in a high pony tail, she had pink eye shadow over her eyes that helped make her brown eyes stand out. By her side was a small female nekomata who was a cream color with red ruby eyes and black markings on her paws, ears, and tail. The last female of the group was the youngest of the three of the age at least 8-10 years old. She wore an orange and yellow checkered pattern kimono with a green sash. Her black hair ended a bit after her shoulders and she had a small pony tail on the right side of her head.

The first male looked around 16-17 years old and was wearing a red haori and red hakama (1). He had long silver hair that ended at his waist and two silver bangs came over his shoulders ending to about the middle of his chest. He had bright gold colored eyes and on the top of his head were two silver colored dog ears and on his hands he had long sharp claws. He wore no shoes and tied at his waist was a sword. The second male appeared to look about 20 and also had silver hair and golden eyes but his hair was straight and ended at his knees and his eyes were more narrowed and mature than the first. He wore a white haori and hakama but at the end of the sleeves and by the left side of the collar was a red pattern. He wore black armor that covered his chest and the rest hanged down, on the left side the armor came around over the shoulder and pointed spiked covered that piece. He had what looked to be sort of a pelt over his right shoulder and hanged down ending at the floor. Two purple markings were on each of his cheek and wrist and long sharp claws covered the tips of his hands. He wore black shoes and two swords were tied at his waist.

The third male was about 19 years old and he wore a long black kimono that ended at his knees and covered over his kimono was a purple kesa (?). He wore simple sandals and in his hand was a long golden staff. He had black hair that was tied into a small pony tail at the base of his neck. He had purple eyes and on his right hand were prayer beads and what looked to be a purple glove. The next male was the youngest of the men and appeared to be 7-9 years of age. He wore a green haori and dark blue hakama. He had a fluffy golden colored tail and red auburn colored hair that was tied in a high pony tail with a bow. He had little fox feet and his eyes were an emerald color.

The next male was a toad like thing and he wore brown hakama and haori. He had yellow eyes and in his hand was a long staff with two heads on separate sides.

The sixth male looked to be about 16-17 and he had long black hair in a high pony tail. He wore brown cloths of fur and he wore armor across his chest. Had also had a brown headband on his head and blue eyes. Lastly there was a two-headed dragon that wore a thing of armor and a muzzle on both of their mouths.

"Damn it" the first male growled out as he moved his clawed hand to get his sword at his waist.

"Kukukuku what's a matter Inuyasha are you frightened because you know that this is the end for you all." Everyone looked forward passed the demons to face the mocking voice that came from the shadows. Moments later a figure came out making the group all go into defensive stances and glare hatefully at the man before them making him smirk. The man appeared to be about 24 years of age and he wore dark blue hakama and haori under a light blue over coat. He wore armor on his fore arms, shoulders, and chest. The armor that was his shoulders came around and over his back. He had a yellow sash keeping the armor attached to his waist and he wore simple black shoes. In the middle of his chest and top of his hands there were bright crimson eyes. Coming out of his back were tentacles that moved around behind him. The man had piercing crimson eyes that held a mocking look and his curly ink black hair fell down his back and over his shoulders.

"Naraku!!" inuyasha moved to attack but he was stopped by a hand on his shoulder. Looking back he saw the third male shake his head and stare at him. "Inuyasha calm down getting riled up will do nothing but make it more frustrating"

Inuyasha tched before facing forward and grabbed the sword at his waist tighter trying to calm down. "Ya I know Miroku"

"S-so W-what d-d-d-do we d-do now" said the youngest of the males moving his hands up to his face and shaking from the middle of the group.

"We fight and head straight for the bastard what else" Inuyasha grabbed the hilt of his sword tighter before drawing it. A bright yellow glow over came the old looking sword before it disappeared and it showed a giant fang with fur at the edge of where the blade and hilt meet. "Tessaiga."

"Shippo I need you to go and hide somewhere safe and do not come out until one of us

Come for you okay." spoke the first female grabbing the bow that was over her shoulder and grabbing an arrow from her quiver while everyone else prepared their own weapons.

"O-okay Kagome" nodded Shippo while holding onto kagome's ankle shaking in fear.

"Jaken you will take Rin and Au-Un and leave as well being here will only make you in the way understood." the second male of the group looked down at the toad who was shaking. Kagome turned and looked down at Shippo who looked up at her still shaking. "Shippo you will go with them and do not leave them until one of us come get you." Shippo nodded and jumped onto au-un in front of Rin who smiled at the kitsune. "It will be fine Shippo…Rin knows they will win." Shippo nodded faintly before looking over to Jaken who spoke.

"U-understood milord" Jaken jumped onto au-un in front of Shippo and Rin before they took off into the air leaving the rest of the group behind. Shippo looked back at his friends with concern before his gaze fell to kagome's who smiled back at him reassuringly. "Be careful…mama..."

"Kukuku enough of this kill them" yelled Narakumoving his right arm in front of him and aiming his index finger at the group. The surrounding demons all roared in response before taking off and heading straight for the group making them all tense.

Kagome grabbed the arrow tighter in her hand before quickly placing the arrow on the bow string and aiming. Finding a perfect shot kagome released the arrow and a bright blue aura circled around the tip of the arrow and leaving a long streak of blue as it flew into the air and hit some of the on coming demons. The demons hit wailed in pain before stopping and disintegrating into dust.


Xx.End Flashback.xX


"After I shot that arrow the battle beganit was Inuyasha and Sesshomaru against Naraku, myself and Kouga against Kanna and Kagura, while Miroku, Sango and Kirara faced off against the lower leveled demons ….." kagome sighed and self-consciously grabbed her right shoulder.. "My body still aches from my wounds from Kagura".


Xx.Flashback.xX


"Dance of blades!" Giant white blades shaped like crescent moons quickly headed towards the last male who dodged the attacks but was surprised when more crescent blades headed towards him. Reacting quickly he jumped back and dodged most of them but wasn't fast enough and got a bad wound on his left shoulder making kagome turn to face him with worry in her eyes. "Kouga!!" kagome made to aim an arrow but she was blocked by demons and a young demon holding a mirror. The child was female and was all white even down to her skin that looked deathly pale. The only part of her that was black was her soulless black eyes staring at kagome with no emotion within their depths.

Kagome quickly released the arrow at the demons heading towards her before taking a glance from the corner of her eye to look at Kouga. She sighed in relief seeing that her friend was up and fighting again. Turning back to her enemy kagome reached behind her and grabbed another arrow.

--xXxXxXo0o.O.o0oxXxXxXx--

Kouga wiped his mouth of the blood before facing the female in front of him in anger. The female demon was wearing a light purple kimono with dark purple strips on various places of the kimono as the design. She had crimson eyes and her long curly black hair was in a bun with two white feathers sticking out. The fan at her side was open and she raised it up before moving it down at Kouga. "Dance of blades!!"

Kouga jumped back before running at Kagura in a zig-zag like fashion to dodge all her attacks. When he arrived at kagura's position he aimed a round house kick to her face but she jumped back and moved her fan in front of her to the side. "Dance of the dragon!!"

A large tornado appeared before heading towards Kouga and trapping him the inside making Kagura smirk and close her fan partly watching the tornado. After a few moments she opened her fan fully again before swinging it down. "Dance of blades!!"

The blades went towards the tornado before going inside of the tornado. Silently Kagura watched the tornado fro any sign of Kouga but heard nothing.

"Did I hit him-?"Kagura's thoughts were interrupted when her tornado suddenly disappeared and Kouga jumped up into the air before heading towards Kagura. "Damn you Kagura!!" Kouga aimed a punch towards the wind demonness and hit her in the stomach making her lean forward a small bit before she jumped back and glared at Kouga. "Dance of blades!!" Kouga jumped back and continued to dodge the onslaught of blades heading towards him.

--xXxXxXo0o.O.o0oxXxXxXx--

Kagome momentarily stopped firing arrows and quickly looked around at her comrades. "It looks as though everyone is doing okay so far" kagome faced forward again and looked at her enemy. "but its up to me to deal with Kanna all I need to do is destroy that mirror of hers…….but how…after a couple momentskagome furrowed her eyebrows at Kanna.

"She's not paying attention" looking to where Kanna was looking kagome saw she was watching kagura's and kouga's battle.Quickly shaking her head kagome looked back at the young demon before grabbing another arrow."Now's my chance...while she's not paying attention." kagome grabbed the arrow in her hand tighter before placing it on the bow and aiming at Kanna and her mirror. Kagome closed her left eye and continued to bring the bowstring back making her arm move around a small bit due to the force."Almost there" kagome continued to aim her arrow and didn't notice that Kagura saw

"Oh no you don't!! Dance of blades" Kagura switched her position and turned towards the still focusing kagome. Swinging her fan down the white blades quickly headed towards kagome.

"KAGOME!" Kouga turned around and headed towards kagome but he was stopped by Kagura appearing in front of him and attacking him. Jumping back Kouga gritted his teeth before attacking Kagura again

Hearing her name and loosing her concentration kagome released the arrow in her hand and watched as it missed kanna's mirror. Turning to where kouga's voice came from kagome saw kagura's attack coming at her. Widening her eyes kagome quickly tried to dodge but wasn't fast enough and got hit on her right shoulder, arm and leg. Screaming out in pain kagome fell down to the floor her bow at her side and some of her arrows out of the quiver.

"KAGOME!!" everyone looked over towards the yell to face their fallen friend. They all tried to try to get to kagome but there attempts were blocked by Naraku and the others.

"Miroku...i need to get to kagome….can you cover for me?"

Miroku looked over to the woman who spoke and nodded his head and grabbed the prayer beads on his right hand. "Of course Sango…make sure kagome is alright." Sango nodded before grabbing her Hiraikotsu and turn to the now transformed nekomata. "Kirara lets go". Kirara nodded and Sango jumped onto kirara's back before taking off into the air. Miroku took of the prayer beads before aiming his hand at the demons and sucking them into his wind tunnel. After a path was cleared Sango and Kirara took off towards the fallen kagome.

--xXxXxXo0o.O.o0oxXxXxXx--

Kouga faced Kagura with hatred in anger in his eyes. "How dare you hurt kagome!!" running at Kagura he kicked her hand knocking her fan out of her hand and momentarily causing her to freeze in shock. Jumping away from Kagura Kouga faced inuyasha "Inuyasha now!!"

Inuyasha hearing his nameturned around and saw Kouga and Kagura. Understanding what Kouga meant he nodded before bringing his sword up into the air and swinging it down at Kagura. "Wind scar!!" the bright yellow streaks came from the sword and headed straight towards Kagura. Kagura reached behind her head to reach for one of her feathers but wasn't fast enough and was hit and killed before she got away. Kagura's scream was heard throughout the battle field as she slowly disintegrated into dust before being blown away by a small gust of wind.

When Kagura was gone inuyasha looked towards the fallen kagome and gritted his teeth. "Damn it I need to get to Kagom-."

"Pay attention half breed!!" inuyasha turned back around and lifted his sword barely dodging against the tentacles that were sent his way.

--xXxXxXo0o.O.o0oxXxXxXx--

"KAGOME! KAGOME! Answer me Kagome!"

Slowly opening her eyes kagome moved her head to see Sango staring at her with great concern. Trying to make Sango feel better kagome smiled weaklyat her friend. "I-I'm okay….. Sango nothing to be worried…. about they're just small wounds." Kagome tried to sit up but shewas stopped and held up by Sango.

Sango stared at kagome not believing a word she said before momentarily looking over her wounds."Small wounds….. Kagome those are not small wounds maybe you should just go and rest somewhere… here I'll get Kirara to help you…Kira-"

She was interrupted by kagome weakly holding a hand up to stop her."N-no Sango we need to finish this fight before anything else... okay" kagome weakly tried to stand up but was stopped by Sango again who continued to look at her worried. "Are you sure Kagome?"

Kagome stood up with sango's help and smiled weakly at her. "Y-yep I'm sure I'll be okay."

Sango stared at kagome for a moment before sighing and closing her eyes. Opening them again she faced kagome. "Be careful kagome…and if you get tired or anything tell me please…and I'll send Kirara to help you." Kagome nodded and Sango faced the two-tailed."Kirara lets go back to help Miroku" Sango jumped onto kirara's back again before she headed back to where Miroku was. Using her Hiraikotsu she cleared a path for her and Kirara.

Kagome turned back to the fight but saw demons heading towards her. Reaching back to grab an arrow she suddenly stopped due to the shock of pain coming from her shoulder. Freezing up kagome's eyes widened when the demon's continued to come for her.

The demons were about to impale her but they were suddenly thrown to the left and disintegrated. Looking to the right kagome saw Kouga in front of her giving her a small smirk before he ran up to her and held her up so she wouldn't fall. "Kagome are you okay? Can you still fight?"

Kagome nodded"yeah Kouga I'm fine but right now we need to get rid of Kanna. I have a plan but you need to distract her for a bit" .Kagome said looking at Kouga

Kouga nodded back before gently letting go of kagome and taking off towards Kanna. "No problem Kagome!"Kouga aimed a kick at Kanna but it was blocked by kanna's barrier.

"Okay now that she distracted I can get a good shot" Kagome thought as she aimed another arrow ignoring the pain in her shoulder, arm, and leg. "Focus Kagome…. focus I can do this ……..and-."

"KOUGA MOVE!"

Kouga hearing Kagome did as she said and moved causing the arrow to pass straight him and head towards Kanna who put her barrier up. The arrow hit the barrier and was momentarily stuck in mid air causing sparks to come from the arrow. Seconds later kagome's arrow slowly began to break through kanna's barrier making kanna's eyes widen a small bit as the barrier shattered and hit the mirror straight in the middle. The mirror started to crack before the whole mirror shattered into pieces in kanna's hands. A white light started to surround kanna before she looked up and also shattered into pieces.

"We did it" panted kagome as she stared at the shattered pieces that remained.

Looking over to where Sango and Miroku were she could see that they had some miner bruises and cuts all over their bodies but otherwise they were doing fine…looking over to where inuyasha and Sesshomaru were kagome's eye's widened.

"Inuyasha!!" kagome's eyes still remained wide as she witnessed Inuyasha get stabbed though his shoulder and Sesshomaru get a gash on his right arm."Damn I need to help them what do I do what do I do?" kagome watched worried before an idea came to her. "Wait I know."

"INUYASHA SESSHOMARU!" Kagome grabbed another arrow and ignored the pain in her body and the puddle of blood forming at her feet.

Both Inuyasha and Sesshomaru looked back to see Kagome aiming her arrow and understood what she was doing. Looking over to each other for a moment they both nodded and turned back to Naraku. "Wind scar!!" Lifting up his sword inuyasha brought it down to the earth making Naraku smirk. "Kukuku do you think that will wor-wha?"

He was interrupted by inuyasha holding his now crystallized sword up before he swung it horizontally "ADIMITE BARRIGE!" diamond shards came from InuYasha's sword and headed towards Naraku.

"DRAGON STRIKE!" Said Sesshomaru swinging his sword down. The blue streaks from Sesshomaru's attack headed towards Naraku next to InuYasha's attack.

"GO!" Kagome released her arrow and it headed straight towards Naraku the blue aura surrounding the arrow and flying in-between InuYasha's and Sesshomaru's attacks. The three attacks headed towards Naraku who put his barrier up. InuYasha's attack broke the barrier and hit Naraku making him wince before kagome's and Sesshomaru's hit him making him yell out in pain. a bright white light suddenly appeared making everyone pause what they were doing and watch in anticipation to see what happened before they covered there eyes from the light.

Only Kagome, Sesshomaru, and inuyasha were the only ones to continue to stare at the white light not looking away to make sure that Naraku was killed. When they light cleared Kagome saw something purple fall to the floor and ran up to see what it was.

Arriving at the area kagome looked down panting and saw the sacred jewel shining innocently and around it was the bloodily remains of Naraku. Kagome continued to pant and dropped her bow. "We-we did…it…….i-i-it's f-finally…..over…"

Kagome's eyesight began to get blurry and she started to fall forward her wounds finally getting to her.


Xx.End Flashback.xX


"When I woke up 4 days later everyone was there and when I asked about Naraku they said that Miroku's wind tunnel was completely gone. Kouga gave me his jewel shards saying they weren't his anymore. No one knows what happened to Kohaku…. he wasn't there during the fight and I couldn't sense his shard anywhere…the rest of the jewel is being protected by strong wards so no demon or human could find and take the jewel. So that's a plus but still-"

"Kagome"

"Huh" Kagome's thoughts were interrupted and she looked behindher to see Lord Sesshomaru behind her.

"Oh hello Sesshomaru" Kagome said with a smile. Remembering when he and his little group joined them……


Xx.Flashback.xX


The inuyasha gang was following another lead about the sacred jewel when Lord Sesshomaru appeared before them

"What do you want bastard?!" Inuyasha yelled as he drew Tessaiga and everyone else prepared for battle

"Silence half demon I have not come here for a battle" stated Sesshomaru as he looked at Inuyasha with in difference

"Feh then why are you here" Inuyasha asked still holding his sword in case of an attack

"A temporary truce is all"

Inuyasha scoffed "a truce no way in he-"Inuyasha started as he lifted up his sword he was interrupted by kagome putting a hand on his shoulder.

"Wait Inuyasha listen to what he has to say"

Inuyasha looked over to kagome with a surprised look on his face. "WHAA!! KAGOME ARE YOU CRAZY HE-"

"SIT BOY!"

"W-"

'BAM!'

Kagome faced Sesshomaru again with a small smile oh her face completely ignoring the fallen half demon twitching on the floor. "Um sorry Lord Sesshomaru please continue"

"As I was saying it has come to my attention that in order to be sure that Naraku dies is if we were to team up". Stated Sesshomaru with indifference.

Inuyasha recovered from the sit and sat up to glare at Sesshomaru. "What No way are y-"

"'SIT' 'SIT' 'SIT'"

Inuyasha fell to the floor again and kagome thought a couple moments before nodding. "Hmmm…. I agree what do you guys think" Kagome turned around and faced Miroku and Sango.

Miroku also nodded before looking up at kagome. "I agree with you Lady Kagome it is wise that we do…. we would have more of a chance at defeating Naraku with Lord Sesshomaru on our side." Miroku looked over to the female demon slayer "Sango?"

Sango had a small frown on her face as she thought after a few moments she looked up. "I'm not so sure……but it's to defeat Naraku so I agree."

Inuyasha sat up again and faced his friends. "Wha- no-"

"'Sit' 'sit' 'sit' 'sit' 'sit'" Inuyasha"

'Bam' 'bam' 'bam' 'bam' 'bam'

Everyone besides Sesshomaru sweat dropped at the fallen inuyasha and fuming kagome. Miroku turned and faced the stoic lord and nodded "Then its final we agree to your truce Lord Sesshomaru"


Xx.End Flashback.xX


"After that we started to travel together….. at first it was really tense and uncomfortable but after awhile we got used to it and eventually things went back to normal. We even told Sesshomaru about where I was really from and that was when we found out Sesshomaru could go though the well to. He didn't believe us when we told him so I showed him and he was so intrigued by it that he jumped down as well but ended on the other side with me." kagome smiled a small bit "And the temporary truce wasn't so temporary after all …….not that I care they all are not that bad when you get to know them …except Jaken…"

"Kagome" Sesshomaru said snapping her out her thoughts once again.

Kagome looked up at Sesshomaru with a nervous smiled "Umm s-sorry Sesshomaru what were you saying?"

"I said that the others are waiting and it is getting dark I do not wish to be standing here all night long let's go"

"Okay let's go" Kagome said getting up from her spot and walking back to Kaede's hut with Sesshomaru in toe.
