InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ A Light amongst the Darkness ❯ The Realm of Darkness Unleashed ( Chapter 11 )

A/N: Yeah I got two new reviews!! *does a happy dances and collides with Linzee* Oopies ^_^ Everyone I would like you to meet Linzee the editor! *Linzee stands and waves her hand* She will be editing the fic. However some of the chapters I kinda posted before she had a chance of editing them. I was kinda in a big hurry.

A/N: Right, I going to answer some questions that one of my reviewers asked so here goes. *looks for the little piece of paper that had the questions on them* Aitu asked if the Sacred Miko was apart of the series or if that was something that I made up. I made it up. ^_^ In the series Kagome never becomes a Sacred Miko nor does she actually become a miko. She does have miko powers but she never goes under any training in the series to become a miko. Also Aitu asked "Does the prophecy mean that Kagome has to die in order to save the world from the darkness?"… as for that answer Aitu sorries but not telling the answer to that one. That would give away way to much of the plot. All I will say is watch out for Yuki-chan as she likes to talk about "things" like that. As for where my art work is. Just go into Fanart and you can search for my work by my name "Talilea" or just go into the Fanart and chose Inuyasha and then search for them.

A/N: Okies So one of the questions that Aitu asked was I mentioned that there is different relationship between Inuyasha and Kagome in the Japanese episodes compared to the American episodes. What I meant by this is that Inuyasha is more blunt in the Japanese episodes. One that comes to mind is the episode after Kohaku attacks Kagome and her arm gets cut. In the next episode Inuyasha and Kagome are sitting in front of the river and Inuyasha is trying to look at Kagome's cut and she said that it was fine. Sango comes along and in the American version she thanks Inuyasha and Kagome for staying with her (Sango) and in the Japanese version Sango tells Inuyasha and Kagome that she is glad that they(Inuyasha and Kagome) are together and Inuyasha says "Together? Of course we are together." And then Kagome smiles at Inuyasha. There are few scenes that are like this but I won't get further into detail. I just thought I would explain it a bit better because I am going by what is said and done in the Japanese episodes and in the Japanese episodes Inuyasha and Kagome are a lot closer then the American version.

A/N: Wow those are the longest Author notes I have ever had!! If anyone else has any questions that they would like answered about the series or about my fic I would be more then happy to answer them. I am also working on some sketches of Kagome's armor, her bow, quiver, arrows, and katana. I am almost done my two sketches of Ryuzaburo and Sorano. And just to let everyone know all my sketches are done in graphite and I will very RARELY colour any of them. I think that black and white has a lot more character and personality then colour. With that said enjoy the next chapter!! Huggles Tal

Chapter Eleven

The Realm of Darkness Unleashed

Kagome could feel her eye beginning to twitch as she watched Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru start fighting again. Kagome was just thankful that Shippo and Rin were still fully involved with playing tag that they were watching them. Inuyasha looked like he was about to explode at Sesshoumaru and Sesshoumaru was standing before Inuyasha with the same emotionless expression that he always had. However Kagome had a sneaking suspension that Sesshoumaru was getting a kick out of all of this.

"Sesshoumaru you are such a baka! I can kick your ass and every other youkai ass! I don't need you getting in my way!" Inuyasha was growling and Kagome could sense his anger.

"Oh really is that right Inuyasha. Then why haven't you killed Naraku yet?"

Kagome hid her grin. She knew that Sesshoumaru had ended the argument with that. Maybe it wasn't going to be as hard as she thought to keep these two from arguing with each other. Sesshoumaru knew how to push Inuyasha's buttons but he also knew how to get him to shut up.

While Kagome was trying not to smile and thinking that maybe she wouldn't have to watch the two brothers like a hawk Inuyasha had draw out Tessaiga and was lunging towards Sesshoumaru. Sesshoumaru just stood facing Inuyasha.

Kagome sighed and placed her hands on her hips. "Osuwari!" Inuyasha planted into the ground and shot dirt and dust out around him like a creeping fog. "Inuyasha! And you too Sesshoumaru! You two need to stop fighting like two spoiled rich kids and learn to get along or at least to tolerate each other. We don't have time to be wasting with your stupid arguing. Do I make myself clear?!"

Sesshoumaru eyed Kagome but didn't say anything. Kagome could tell by the look on his face that he was done talking with Inuyasha anyways. Inuyasha muffled something from the crater that his body had created and Kagome had a good feeling that he was trying to yell at her or tell her off. Kagome grinned evilly as she walked over to Inuyasha.

Kagome knelt down in front of Inuyasha just as some of the spell was wearing off. Inuyasha lifted his head up and looked into her cool brown eyes. "Ka… Kagome…?"

"Inuyasha…" Kagome reached down and gently caressed his cheek and looked at Inuyasha very seductively. She bit her lower lip and then slowly drew her tongue over her swollen lip. Kagome could see that she was having the effect that she wanted on Inuyasha. Kagome pulled her hand away from Inuyasha's cheek and stood up with her hands on her hips.

"Inuyasha…" Kagome saw Inuyasha sallow, his eyes full of his arousal. "Osuwari!" Inuyasha yelped as he was planted into the ground again. "Inuyasha you baka! Osuwari! We don't have time for your immature ways! Osuwari! So you can just either chose to get alone with Sesshoumaru or ignore him! The choice is yours! Osuwari!"

Kagome was still a little angry with Inuyasha but she was pretty sure that she had gotten her point across. Kagome turned away from Inuyasha, who was now four feet into the earth, and started to walk over to Sesshoumaru. Kagome saw Sesshoumaru's eyes widen slightly as she approached him.

"Now as for you Sesshoumaru. I may not have a rosary on you but that does not mean that I will tolerate your behavior towards Inuyasha. If we are going to do this we have to ALL work together. So you have the same choice as Inuyasha, you can either chose to get along or ignore him! I don't feel like babysitting a bunch of youkai!"

Kagome saw the flash in his eyes as his anger was flaring. Kagome placed her hands on her hips and glared at Sesshoumaru. Kagome couldn't help but grin on the inside as Sesshoumaru took a very small step back from her.

"Uhm… Kagome?"

Kagome turned around and saw Shippo standing behind her. Rin was standing a little behind him. They both looked a little afraid and Kagome couldn't blame them. They had no doubtedly heard her "sitting" Inuyasha and come over seeing what was going on. Kagome knelt down and placed a hand on Shippo's shoulder.

"Gomen Shippo-chan and gomen to you too Rin. I didn't mean to scare either of you. I was only yelling at the two of them because they both have such thick skulls that that was the only way I could figure on getting through to them that fighting and arguing isn't going to solve anything. So you understand?"

Shippo looked into her eyes and smiled, "Of course I understand Kagome!" Shippo jumped into her arms, "You always said that there are better ways of solving a problem then resorting to violence. And in the case of Inuyasha I know that you had to "osuwari" to make him listen."

Kagome hugged Shippo back. "Kagome?" Kagome looked at Rin who was standing where Shippo was standing before he leapt onto her. Kagome smiled and pulled Rin into her and gave her a big hug as well. Little did Kagome know that a certain youkai lord was watching the whole thing and was smiling inwardly at seeing the smile of the little human girl's face.

Kagome blinked when see heard a rumbling and laughed a little as she heard Rin and Shippo both laughing. "Rin's tummy has lion's and tiger's in it. Rin is hungry!" Shippo fell onto the ground laughing as his stomach rumbled and he blushed.

"I'm a little hungry too." Rin looked at Shippo and they both ran off laughing. Kagome shook her head and laughed.

"Sango-chan?" Kagome called out as she stood up brushing dirt off of her knees. Sango had been sitting down beside Miroku glaring at him and petting Kirara absentmindedly. She looked up at Kagome when she heard her name.

"Do you know how much food we have in my pack?"

Sango reached over and grabbed Kagome's big yellow bag. She opened the flap and looked into it. "Well Kagome-chan we don't have very much of your food left. Maybe enough for a meal today. But we have quiet a bit of Kaeda's dried food."

Kagome walked over to Sango and looked into her pack. Sango was right. There wasn't very much of her food left and if they were going to be traveling for some time she wouldn't mind having some of her food with them to eat. "Well Sango-chan we might as well start a fire and get some food cooking. It is nearly mid-day and we should eat before we head out."

Inuyasha had crawled out of crater and sitting in a near by tree. He was glaring daggers at Sesshoumaru. Sesshoumaru wasn't looking at him but instead was staring intently at Kagome. "Inuyasha?!" Inuyasha nearly fell out of the tree when he heard Kagome's voice calling out to him.

"What do you want?"

"Could you help Miroku-sama get some fire wood? We are going to quickly eat something and then leave. It would go a lot faster if you helped."

"Keh!"

"Moi!! Inuyasha you could either help Miroku-sama or help Miroku-sama? Do you need help out of the tree?"

Inuyasha froze and then looked at Kagome as she stared at him. She had a sweet smile on her face but Inuyasha knew better then to trust that smile. He leapt off of the tree and landed in front of Kagome. "Oi you only gave me one option and repeated it twice."

"Yes but at least you are now out of the tree and now you can help Miroku-sama get the fire wood. He left in that direction." Kagome poked over his shoulder and towards Sesshoumaru. Inuyasha growled as he followed Kagome's slender finger and saw that it was pointed more or less at Sesshoumaru.

"I am not," Inuyasha started to turn back and face Kagome, "helping that…" Inuyasha was silenced as Kagome stood up on tip toes and gently kissed him on the lips.

"Arigato Inuyasha," she whispered sweetly to him when she pulled away and walked back over to Sango.

Inuyasha stood dumb founded for a few seconds before he turned around and walked off in the direction that Kagome had pointed. Sesshoumaru said nothing as Inuyasha walked passed him. So Inuyasha it looks like I will need to talk to sooner then I thought. Sesshoumaru walked over to a tree and leaned against it and watched as the two females started talking.

"Sango-chan I have a huge favor to ask of you." Kagome stated as she sat down in front of her friend.

Sango was sitting with her jaw nearly on the ground from what she just saw. Kagome placed a hand on Sango's and she jumped. "Sure Kagome-chan anything."

"Can I borrow Kirara for about an hour?"

"That isn't even a big favor Kagome-chan. What's going on?"

"Well when we left Kaeda-obaja I told her how I wished that she could go down the well and tell my mama that I was going to gone for a while. I think that I should really go and tell my mama that I am going to gone for a while. I mean I have been already gone for about a week and with having to unseal Sorano I don't think that we are going to be back here in awhile. Also I can get more supplies and food and this way if anything happens I at least said good-bye to them."

Sango smiled and hugged her friend. "I understand Kagome-chan. If I were in your spot I would want to do the same thing. Of course you can take Kirara and go and see your family before we leave. I will keep Inuyasha busy while you are gone."

Kagome hugged her friend back. Kagome pulled away from Sango and reached over on pulled her bag to herself. She emptied the contents, all but the first aid kit, and placed the back pack on her back. "I won't be gone to long. Kirara you ready?"

Kirara meowed and transformed. When the fire vanished Kirara was in her larger form waiting for Kagome to get on. "Remember Sango-chan don't let Inuyasha follow me. If he does try to just give him some ramen and he will stop."

Sango grinned and nodded. "Take care Kagome-chan."

"Hai!" With that said Kagome leapt onto Kirara and Kirara took off in the direction of the bone eater's well.

***

Kagura, Kanna, and Hakudoushi stood on the cliff of a mountain. Behind them was an oval entrance to a cave. Kagura was getting tired of waiting for Naraku to show up. He had informed her that she and Hakudoushi were to meet Kana on this mountain and he would be showing up to give them instructions.

Kagura tapped her fan against her arm as she stared off into the lush forest below them. The scenery was breathtaking but she couldn't fully enjoy it as Naraku held her heart. Kagura still couldn't figure out why there was such a strong evil youki coming from the mountain. This was the first time that she had ever been to this mountain and it was taking everything inside of her not to leave.

"Naraku is coming," Kanna spoke and Kagura flinched at cold emotionless voice.

Kagura could feel Naraku coming before he floated up the face of the mountain and stopped in midair before them. Kagura couldn't believe the measures that Naraku had gone through to change himself. His appearance was even more evil then it was before. Kagura looked away from Naraku as he landed in front of Kanna and starting walking towards the entrance to the cave. Hakudoushi and Kanna followed Naraku without a word spoken and Kagura slowly followed after them.

What I wouldn't give to kill you now Naraku and finally be free of you! Hakudoushi slightly turned and stared at Kagura. Oh yeah you can read my thoughts… Hakudoushi turned his glance back to the entrance of the cave.

Naraku stopped and reached his hand up and place it on a kekkai. Kagura didn't even realize that the entrance had a kekkai on it. The kekkai flashed and sparked as Naraku ran his hand over it. Naraku was muttering something under his breath as he did this and Kagura couldn't hear him. Not like she wanted to anyways.

Suddenly the kekkai flashed an eerie bluish purple and melted away. Kagura shuttered as the evil youki spilled form the cave. Kagura started to back up and something inside of her was telling her to run… run as far away as she could.

Naraku, Kanna, and Hakudoushi walked into the cave and vanished from Kagura's sight. She didn't like this. They were not meant to be there. This place had had a very powerful kekkai sealing the entrance and now that Naraku had removed it the youki was spilling into the area.

"You have unleashed Hell itself haven't you Naraku," Kagura straightened up and walked into the cave.

It was dark inside. Even though outside was not even mid-day yet. It was as if light couldn't exist within the cave. As Kagura walked the same eerie light flashed in front of her eyes. Kagura had to blink a few times to get her eyes to adjust. When her eyes had finally gotten used to the strange light she gasped. The whole area was a glow with torches burning with bluish purple flames. They were hanging from brackets positioned about every five feet on the walls of the corridor.

Kagura sensed that Naraku and the others were a little ways ahead of her in the cave and continued on. As she walked on she noticed that on the walls were there strange cards with ancient markings on them. Kagura knew that they were sealing charms placed there by either a very powerful youkai or a very powerful miko or priest.

Turning her head from side to side as she continued on towards Naraku. When Kagura reached the end of the long corridor she found that she was about to walk into a very large cave in the mountain. Kagura saw Naraku and the others standing in front of a very large onyx crystal that was sitting in the middle of the cave. As Kagura approached the crystal and took her spot beside Kanna she gasped.

Within the crystal was a figure. The figure was tall and had a wide build to him. Kagura squinted and noticed the figure's ears were pointed and she knew that he was youkai. And by the amount of youki coming off of the crystal he was very powerful. In front of Naraku Kagura noticed that there was a thick tall pillar of onyx crystal. Strange markings were engraved in the crystal and on top of the pillar was thin horizontal opening. It was about three inches long and about five millimeters wide. A pentagram was engraved around the opening and then markings were engraved, in a circle pattern, around the pentagram.

Kagura turned her attention back to the figure in the crystal. He was very a handsome youkai. Kagura couldn't help but notice that he looked at peace. His arms were crisscrossed across his chest and he was wearing very strange armor. Kagura tore her eyes away from the figure and looked around the cave. Even though they were deep within the mountain the cave was still a glow from the many torches that lined the walls. The light was making the walls look as if they were made of water.

"The Great Lord of Darkness." Kagura jumped slightly as she heard Naraku start to speak, "He is the most powerful youkai and commands all the creatures of the Darkness. He was sealed away off sixty years ago by a very powerful miko and a The Lady of Light. Now comes the time of his awakening!"

Naraku raised his hands before himself and placed them gently on the sides of the pillar. The pillar started to pulsate as Naraku pushed his youki into it. Kagura watched a light sweat started to form on his brow. Suddenly Naraku was shot back as a sakura light burst from the pillar. The light flashed across Kagura's face and she felt warm and at peace. Well that was until Naraku growled and make his way back to the pillar. He reached up and wiped away a trail of blood that was running down from the corner of his mouth.

"So the seal is still as strong as ever. Even after sixty years the Lady of Light still holds the Lord of Darkness at bay." Naraku started to laugh and he reached into his haori and pulled out a blackened Shikon Shard. The shard pulsated with corrupted light as Naraku walked over to the pillar and placed the Shikon Shard within the tiny opening in the top.

The whole cave suddenly shook. Kagura stumbled but managed to keep her balance. The cave shuck again but this time Kagura was ready for it and didn't even move from her spot.

A voice suddenly rang out throughout the cave. It was an earthly voice. It was full of malice, hatred, and greed. However the voice was also soft, musky and easy to listen to. Kagura was instantly drawn into deep concentration as she absorbed every word the voice spoke.

"Purity of Soul

Love of Heart

Blood of Life

United together

Within Forever"

"Only one who is purer then the purest soul, only one who's heart has love for even the coldest of hearts, only one's blood who's life is not their own, can unseal the seal that bonds me to my frozen tomb."

"She will awaken and become a great power. She will never be tainted and will love with all her heart. She will forgive even the most sinful of deeds and will never turn her back on someone in need."

Kagura was angered that the voice had stopped. She slowly turned her head and saw that the Shikon had come out of the pillar and was now glowing a bright fuchsia. It had been purified even though Kagura could only sense the evil youki from the youkai that was within the crystal.

Naraku reached out and grabbed onto the Shikon Shard. An evil grin appeared on his face as he started to laugh.

"Naraku I don't see what is so funny?" stated Kagura as she started to get annoyed. The feeling of fleeing was coming back to her in waves and she wanted nothing more then to leave the cave and never come back.

"The Great Lord of Darkness has informed us of how to unseal him. And I know who is needed." Naraku raised his hand into the air and called out. "Youkai of the Great Lord of Darkness I call out to thee. Come to your master's aid. Go out into the world and find the miko who's power is unmatched by any other. Bring her back here alive and your master will arise once again."

Suddenly the walls of the caves came to life. Shadows started to flick and fluttered around them. Unearthly growls, hisses, and moans filled the cave and Kagura stepped closer to Kanna. The shadows started to move faster and faster around on the walls and floor of the cave. Naraku laughed out as he shouted. "Bring me the miko Kagome!"

The Shadows screamed and howled as they flew towards the exit of the cave and into the corridor. They flew through the corridor and out into the world. "You can not hide from them Kagome. You will be mine!" Naraku eyes were filled with a fire at the thought of have a power greater then anything this world had ever seen.

***

Kagome climbed out of the shrine that held the bone eater's well. It was a beautiful day in Tokyo. Kagome stretched and started walking towards her house. She didn't have much time and she really wanted to take a shower before she went back.

"Nee-chan?!"

Kagome turned and smiled at the young boy who was playing with a soccer ball. He had stopped playing when he saw her come out of the shrine.

"I'm home Souta," Kagome waved and beamed at her little brother.

"Welcome home! What are you wearing Nee-chan?" Kagome smiled and waved him to follow her towards the house.

"I can't explain fully right now but this is my new armor from the feudal era. It is very special and very powerful."

"Wow! Did Inu-no-niichan give it to you?"

Kagome giggled at Souta's name for Inuyasha. "No Souta he did not give it to me. It was given to me by Hitomi."

Souta stopped at look at Kagome funny. "Oh no Souta not your `girlfriend' Hitomi but a Hitomi from the past. She is no longer alive." Kagome reached the sliding door of the house and opened it. She motioned Souta to follow. Souta blushed and followed in after Kagome and slide the door closed.

"I'm home!" yelled Kagome as she walked into the kitchen. Kagome smiled when she saw her mama standing in the kitchen making lunch.

"Welcome home Kagome! I am just making lunch. Are you going to join us?" Kagome wanted to stay for lunch but she just didn't have the time. Kagome suppressed a giggled at the shocked looked on her mama's face when she turned around and looked at her.

"I know what your thinking mama but I don't really have time to explain about my new outfit. I am going to stay here for about an hour before I head back. I just needed to get a few things and then head back."

Kagome's mama looked saddened by what Kagome had said and Kagome couldn't blame her. She had been gone a week and now was only going to be there for a short time before heading back again. "Mama I need your help."

"Of course Kagome anything."

"Arigato mama!" Kagome removed her pack and set it on the table. "Mama I was going to go and take a shower and I was wondering if you could stock up the first aid kit, get some food together and…"

"And…?" Kagome couldn't believe that her mama was going to do all of that for her. "What is it dear? I have the food already prepared and the first aid kit will only take a few minutes to supply."

"Well mama Inuyasha and the rest of us are now traveling with a little girl. She is about six years old. Well I was wondering if you have any of my old things from when I was her age still around. You know like clothes, shoes, and maybe any old dolls or toys. I would like to give them to her."

"hmmm… well while you are showering I will go and check the attic and the store house to see what I can find for her. I should have some things that would be good enough for her."

"Arigato again mama!" Kagome run up to her mama and hugged her tightly. Kagome buried herself into her mama and breathed in her scent. Kagome's mama wrapped her arms around Kagome and embraced her only daughter.

"Well Kagome you should hurry if you are doing to leave within an hour." Kagome pulled away from the hug and nodded. "I will see what I can find. Souta make sure that the soup doesn't boil over."

"Hai mama!" Souta walked over to the stove and started to stir the soup. Kagome's mama walked off down the hall and towards the attic. Kagome sighed. I have the best mama in the world! She didn't even question my outfit or the little girl or why I had to leave right away. Kagome left the kitchen and made her way up the stairs and into the bathroom.

Kagome looked in the mirror and saw what she looked like. She didn't really notice in the reflection of herself in the river at how much the clothes she was wearing showed all her curves. Kagome didn't even realize that her bust was that big. The clothes were skin tight and looked like a second set of skin. Kagome looked at her shirt and was just trying to figure out how she was ever going to get out of them when the shirt, shorts and boots suddenly grew about three sizes.

Kagome grinned to herself as she removed her clothes and boots and walked over to the shower and turned it on. While the water was warming up Kagome looked down at her necklace. She really did like it. It was very beautiful and when light hit the jewel it would sparkle and send off rainbows. Kagome slowly pulled in off and placed it with her neatly folded clothes that were on the counter.

Kagome climbed into the shower and the feel of the warm water running over her naked body felt great. Kagome stood under the water for a few minutes and just let it take away all her stiffness and worries. Kagome started to wash her body thinking of nothing. She just wanted to enjoy the water and the feel of the soap on her skin.

Kagome climbed out of the shower and wrapped a towel around her body. She plugged in the blow dryer and started to blow dry her hair. Kagome couldn't believe how much her hair had grown over the time she had been in the feudal era. She hadn't gotten a hair cut in a long time. Kagome finished blow drying her hair and looked into the mirror. She smiled and felt great. The shower had worked wonders on her stiff body.

Kagome reached over and picked up her necklace and slowly put it on. All of sudden Kagome felt like her head was about to burst. Wave upon wave of an evil youki spread over her. Kagome grabbed her head as she slide to the floor. It was pain beyond anything she had felt before. A strange voice was inside her. "Purity of Soul, Love of Heart, Blood of Life, United together, Within Forever"

"Only one who is purer then the purest soul, only one who's heart has love for even the coldest of hearts, only one's blood who's life is not their own, can unseal the seal that bonds me to my frozen tomb."

"She will awaken and become a great power. She will never be tainted and will love with all her heart. She will forgive even the most sinful of deeds and will never turn her back on someone in need."

When the voice stopped Kagome clasped a hand over her mouth and half dragged and half crawled over to the toilet and was violently sick. After a few minutes Kagome stopped but was shaking uncontrollably.

"Kagome I have found everything that you will need and it is all packed in your pack. I also packed another pack because of all the food and supplies I thought that you would need." Kagome looked over at the bathroom door as it slowly opened. Kagome's mama took one look at her daughter and lunged herself at her and was beside her before Kagome even realized it.

"What is wrong?! Are you okay? You're sick you need to rest." Kagome's mama helped her to stand and Kagome stumbled as she tried to balance herself.

"No mama I can't rest I have to go back. A great evil… no a great darkness has been unleashed. I need to get back to Inuyasha and warn them."

Kagome reached for her clothes and as she hand touched them they glowed a soft fuchsia and Kagome saw them vanish and suddenly felt a familiar warmth. Kagome smiled weakly as she looked down and saw that she was fully clothed again. Kagome quickly rinsed her mouth out and flushed the toilet. Kagome was afraid to look at her mama. "Please mama I need you to understand. Something is happening in the past and I am apart of it. I need to be there. Please help me mama."

Kagome finally looked at her mama and saw the look of concern in her eyes and on her face. Kagome looked determinedly at her mama and her mama turned placing her arm around her waist and lead her out of the bathroom and down the stairs. Souta was sitting at the table eating the soup that he had been making sure wouldn't boil over.

"Nee-chan are you alright?! You don't look well!"

"I am fine Souta." Kagome walked weakly over to Souta and gave him a heart felt hug. Souta hugged her back and Kagome leaned down and place a light kiss on his forehead. "You take care of mama and Ji-chan while I'm gone okay?"

Souta nodded and fought back his tears. Mama suddenly showed up behind her and was carrying the two packs. Kagome took the lighter of the two and walked out of the kitchen and out of the house. They made their way silently to the well and it wasn't until Kagome was standing right in front of the well did they finally speak.

"Mama could you tell good-bye to Ji-chan for me? Also tell him not to make such insane excuses for my absences at school. You take care of yourself mama. I will be back as soon as I can."

Kagome was pulled into the most powerful embrace that she had ever felt. She could feel the love and fear coming off of her mama. "You make sure you come back to me Kagome. I love you."

Kagome wrapped her arms around her mama and hugged her back. Kagome was tired and weak and she felt like she was going to pass out at any moment. "I love you too mama!" Kagome was released from the embrace and took the other pack form her mama. Kagome climbed onto the lip of the well and with one last look at her mama she leapt in.

***

When Kagome appeared on the other side of the well the feeling of the darkness and evil youki intensified. Kagome braced herself against the wall of the well and tried to get over the nausea she felt. She had to get out of the well and then she would go back with Kirara and they would leave. Kagome slowly started to climb out of the well. She pushed her packs out of the well and slowly climbed out of the well.

A strong wave of nausea hit Kagome and her vision blurred. She felt herself falling forward and fell against something that was hard and yet soft. Kagome slowly looked up and into a pair of deep amber eyes.

"Sesshoumaru…"

"So you have felt it. The Realm of Darkness has been unleashed. We must move now!" Kagome was blown away by the fear in the great youkai lord's voice. Kagome shuttered and fell forward into Sesshoumaru.

Very weakly Kagome replied, "Hai…" and felt a strong arm wrap around her.
