RECAP:

"Kagome are you ok?" Asked Inuyasha. He wanted her back to her usual self, and things to be normal again. He missed her smile and laughter. Most of all Inuyasha wanted her to run to him and hold him once more. Little did he know that the woman before him was no longer the sweet niive child he had known. Everything about her had changed. Even her scent. Luckily Midoriko had taught her how to mask her scent so as not to attract suspicion from her companions.

"No Inuyasha, I'm not. Please just leave me alone for a while."

For the Love of a Miko

Chapter 13: Naraku's Homewrecking Excursion

When Kagome was sure she was alone once more, she allowed her tears to flow frealy. There was no one to be proud for. Just the god tree which had seen her cry many a time before. She cried till there were no more tears left to shed. Slowly she stood up and made her way to the well. Her bed and a nice warm shower were all she cared for at this time.

As she reached the clearing a sence of forboding washed over her. It was enough to have the little hairs on the back of her neck stand up. The feeling grew worse as she neared the well, and multiplied exponentially, when she noticed the amount of trace miasma that still hoved over the well. 'No,' she thought to herself. Had Naraku found a way to get to her time. There wasn't a moment to spare if he had. Her family was in danger, along with all of present day Tokyo for that matter. Without stopping to think, she lept throught the well, the familiar blue light surrounding her. When she touched down on her side, the sound of her family's cries reached her ears. Kagome was instantly out of the wellhouse and standing in the front room of her home.

"It's nice to see you again little miko," said a chilling voice. Kagome had hoped she would never have to hear that voice again. There directly across from her was Naraku with her family bloodied and cowering in a corner.

"What, didn't you miss me?" He tried to sound hurt, but his voice was laced with confidence and mockery.

"Let my family go you worthless half-breed, and I may take pity on you, and kill you quickly." Kagome's tone was dripping with hate and anger. How dare he try to harm her family. Did he have no sence of self-preservation?

"Kukuku, not until I have the jewel wench. Animosities aside I was hopeing we could become friends. You would make an excellent ally and even.....mate. So much more powerful than that worthless Kikyo that Onigumo lusted after." Naraku now held a gleem in his eye. He knew that Kagome had grown in strength since she had been killed. Her family was her weakness though and he planned to exploit it to his full advantage.

"I will never give you the jewel, and I wouldn't become your ally or mate, even if you were the last creature on earth!" Kagome's rage was building inside of her even if her face remained emotionless. Only her eyes gave any clue to the fire that was burning within her. Another little trait that she picked up from her predecessor.

"You may want to reconsider." Naraku held up a beating red mass. Kagome's eyes grew wide as she realized what it was. Her eyes scanned her huddled family until they rested on the only member that was semi-unconsious.

"You bastard, what have you done to Souta?"

"Like I said, you may want to reconsider. That is unless you wish for the boy to die, but first I think I will have him take care of the woman and old man first." How dare he, Kagome seethed. She refused to sit by and watch Naraku ruin her life. Suddenly flashes of what Sango must have gone through with Kohaku etched into her mind. What her friend must have had to go through. She had a newfound respect for her 'sister'.

Souta sat up from his position, but with an unresponsive blank face. Naraku was controlling him. The little boy caught a dagger that was tossed his way by the hanyo and turned and faced his family. His mother stared at her son disbelievingly, while his grandfather tried to protect her from his grandson's future blows, stealing glances at his grandaughter. His eyes were pleading for help. Kagome refused to stand for it. Her vision went black.

Her aura flared a bright pink with crimson mix. Wind seamed to pick up from out of nowhere, which made her hair dance around her face. Her eyes bled red when they settled on the reason for her wrath. Naraku. He almost cringed at the look that was directed at him. He did not expect her to be this strong. He knew he was no match for her at the moment so did the only thing that he was good at in this kind of situation. He fled.

Kagome turned to give chase. The bastard still held her brother's heart. His scent returned to the well. She returned to her family to give a quick checkup. Her mother was cradling Souta, who by now was no longer being controlled. He was lifeless. Both her mother and jii-chan had minor cuts and bruises over their bodies. Tears streamed freely down their faces as they morned the loss of the younges member of the family.

"I will bring him back, don't worry." The two adults looked at Kagome in confusion. She walked over to her dead brother and rested her hands on his chest. A pink soft glow eminated from her fingers, until it engulfed them both. Kagome's body began to sway, but she held fast to her task. Soon the glow faded and Souta took a sharp intake of breath. His heart restored and the wound in his chest healed. Kagome's mother looked at her daughter and a silent message was given and recieved. She would have to leave again.

Kagome brushed away the few stray tears that still stained her face as she stood up to leave. She was stopped however by her mother who gave her one last hug. Soon Kagome's grandfather came to her side and did the same. It was an understood fact, that Kagome could not return if the family was to remain safe. At least not for a long while.

"I'll kill him mother. I never thought I'd live to see the day when I'd actually look forward to destroying a life, but he deserves it for the pain he's caused everyone....on both sides of the well. I can't come back for a while. I will though as soon as I can ok? Oh and Souta should be back up and running in about two days k?"

"Kagome, I know you can take care of yourself, but be careful. I'll see you when you get back." Her mother tried to put on a cheery front, but it was hideously marred by the many cuts and bruises that were evidence of the pain that Naraku had caused.

With one last hug, Kagome tore out of the house and down the well. Naraku would die a slow terrible death for what he had done to her family. She would be the one to kill him and no one else. There was a line, and he just crossed it!

On the other side of the well, there were other things being planned that included Kagome. Inuyasha still had not given up on gaining her love again. Kouga was trying to find a way to her heart. Naraku was thinking about how he was going to get the jewel and Kagome without being killed, now that her brother was dead. (He doesn't know Kagome brought him back to life.)
