Kagome tossed in her sleep as images flashed through her head.

"I won't let you--"

She watched it plunge deep--

"Run..."

He laughed...

"Mommy."

Kagome saw the hand plunge deep into the muscled chest and she felt it as if it were her pain too.

"Mommy."

Kagome felt a hand shaking her and she jerked awake, her heart pounding. She closed her eyes and fell back down onto the furrs. Then she felt the hand nudging her arm again and opened her eyes. Mai had been trying to wake her up but still keep quiet at the same time. "Can I sleep with you?" She whispered just like she had the night before.

Kagome nodded and pulled the covers up over them both as she laid down on her side again. Mai snuggled up close to her and closed her eyes with a sigh. She liked sleeping with her mommy...

Kagome stared down at Mai and then looked up at the rough edges of the ceiling. She hated that she remembered every detail. It was engraved on her mind. She had to forgot. It was in the past and she would forget.

But she couldn't.


------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------
The days seemed to pass endlessly. It grew cold quickly since winter was coming and they all prepared for the cold weather. They were out hunting again and Kagome was out with the women, walking a few distance behind the men as she talked with the other women. When the men stopped the women had to stop to, or run into them. Kagome frowned and pushed past one of them to see what had them looking so struck.

Kagome felt her breath get stuck in her throat at the scene before her. Dead demons were scattered everywhere and strangly enough...A few humans. It was horrible. The demons had claw marks over there bodies. Five on each one as if someone had slashed at them with one hand. The dead grass that had frosted over was tinged red from all the blood. "What happened?" Kagome whispered, though that was a stupid question. It was obvious a demon had had a frenzy and killed everything in its path.

"You sensed other humans and demons in there area, right?" A few of the others nodded. They had sensed the humans so they knew they had been in the area. "We can't just leave them here. We have to bury them." Kagome couldn't just bare to leave them here like this. She leaned down and closed one of the human victims eyes gently. His face was still contorted with horror, his eyes when they had been open were still struck with terror.

That wasn't what was odd to her though. Something about these killings was faguely familiar. 'What is it?' She'd seen those markings on the bodies before. Seen those slash marks.

"Dammit. What is it?" She said aloud and the others looked towards her. She blushed and cleared her throat and kneeled down. She motioned toward the slash marks covering the human body. "I've seen these somewhere. I don't know where and I don't know when but I KNOW I have seen them somewhere. I swear...Do any of you remember anything like this?"

Everyone shook there head but then Ginta paled. "Kagome."

She glanced towards him. "Whats wrong?"

"Those marks...They're Inuyashas." His voice seemed to go lower as he said the words.

Kagomes body went cold and a chill went down her spine as she examined the slash marks. It was then that the details were clear. She remembered all those years ago when Inuyasha had used this method to kill demons. How fast and hard he did it. These humans and demons must have suffered so much. She stood up slowly.

"Hes in the area somewhere." Yes, somewhere. He must have sensed the wolf pack. There was no way that he couldn't have. Then he would have sensed Kagome. And just because Kouga had been a part of this pack Kagome didn't doubt that Inuysha would want to kill every single person here. She didn't know if she could stop Inuyasha. He had been able to kill Kouga and Kouga had been a full demon.

"We have to leave." She whispered. Fear slithering up her spine. She just couldn't stop it. Images of Inuyashas happy face flew across her mind and then his blood red eyes filled with rage, hatred and malice. Then the image of him killing Kouga...

She tried to open her mouth to cry out as she felt the world spinning around her but she couldn't. Her knees buckled as she lost conciousness and she fell to the ground.
