Winterscape: Greetings again. I bring you tidings of good cheer in the form of a new chapter. I do comprehend the fact that the chapters are short. But if I write short chapters than I get more done and be more alert to updating for I know that I also want to know what I wish to write as a continuation. Please stay here to read the updates. I have a feeling there will be more updates in the very near future. I do think that I will work on this one for a while before I continue shake it up so please bare with me if you wish for that particular story to be updated. Thank you and enjoy.

 

The sun had risen in the east, as always. The sun wasn't as bright as it had been the day before and seemed to rise slowly, as if in pain or sorrow.

 

Sango awoke in Miroku's arms being shaken by a frightened Shippo.

 

“Shippo what's wrong?” Sango asked groggily.

 

“It mama, she's bleeding again.” Shippo told her frantically.

 

Sango leapt up, awaking Miroku, and raced into the hut to find the old woman removing the bandages on Kagome, who was awake.

 

“It is remarkable.” The old woman started. “Just a moment ago she was bleeding so profusely and now it seems everything has healed in an instant. All her wounds are healed.”

 

“Oh thank kami.” Sango sighed, leaning against the hut wall.

 

“Sango, come here.” Kagome announced in a weak voice as she sat up.

 

“I'm here Kagome, how are you feeling?” Sango asked her.

 

“I'm feeling better by the second. I need a favor from you.” Kagome told Sango.

 

“What is it Kagome, you know I'll help in any way I can.” Sango replied.

 

“I need you to take Shippo. Please, just for a while. Take him with you and Miroku to your village. I'll come get him in a while.” Kagome told her.

 

“But why Kagome?” Sango asked Kagome.

 

“Sango, I need to sort some things out. I need to take a journey by myself. I just…I just need some time alone.” Kagome replied with a smile.

 

“Alright Kagome, when you are ready to leave we will take Shippo with us. You always know where to find us and do not hesitate to come as early as you wish to retrieve him.” Sango told her.

 

“Thank you Sango.” Kagome replied.

 

Sango exited the hut as Kagome changed into some garments the old woman had provided since her school uniform had been drenched in blood and needed to be burned or buried for there was no way to get the stain out.

 

Kagome exited the hut with her trademark smile looking like new.

 

“Alright, I'm ready to go. Thank you again Sango.” Kagome announced, hugging Sango.

 

“Mama, where are you going?” Shippo asked her.

 

“Shippo, you need to go with Sango right now. I promise I'll come back and get you but right now I need to be alone.” Kagome told her son as he hugged her than ran over to Kilala.

 

Sango, Miroku and Shippo took to the sky on Kilala heading east to Sango's village.

 

“Thank you for everything.” Kagome told the woman.

 

“Ah, no worries child just be safe.” The woman replied.

 

Kagome smiled and nodded as she started off into the village, heading west.

 

`Kagome, why are you heading west? You know he's west. Are you trying to get yourself killed? Why west? Why west! Stop heading west!' Kagome's mind screamed at her as she picked up a new bow, some arrows and two daggers at a local shop.

 

Kagome pushed her mind back and started out into the beautiful, and sunny, west.

 

As she walked she started to quietly sing. She didn't even notice she was singing for her soul was taking over.

 

“Sitting here wasted and wounded
at this old piano
Trying hard to capture
the moment this morning I don't know
'Cause a bottle of vodka
is still lodged in my head
And some blond gave me nightmares
I think that she's still in my bed
As I dream about movies
they won't make of me when I'm dead
With an ironclad fist I wake up and
French kiss the morning
While some marching band keeps
its own beat in my head
While we're talking
About all of the things that I long to believe
About love and the truth and
what you mean to me
And the truth is baby you're all that I need
I want to lay you on a bed of roses
For tonight I sleep on a bed on nails
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on bed of roses
Well I'm so far away
That each step that I take is on my way home
A king's ransom in dimes I'd given each night
Just to see through this payphone
Still I run out of time
Or it's hard to get through
Till the bird on the wire flies me back to you
I'll just close my eyes and whisper,
baby blind love is true
I want to lay you down on a bed of roses
For tonight I sleep on a bed on nails
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on bed of roses
The hotel bar hangover whiskey's gone dry
The barkeeper's wig's crooked
And she's giving me the eye
I might have said yeah
But I laughed so hard I think I died
When you close your eyes
Know I'll be thinking about you
While my mistress she calls me
To stand in her spotlight again
Tonight I won't be alone
But you know that don't
Mean I'm not lonely I've got nothing to prove
For it's you that I'd die to defend
I want to lay you down on a bed of roses
For tonight I sleep on a bed on nails
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on bed of roses” Kagome sang softly.

 

She sat down on a hill and let the breeze tussle her hair.

 

“What does this mean Kagome?” Kagome asked the wind.

 

`It means you're ready.' A voice inside her told her.

 

“Ready for what?” Kagome asked herself.

 

`You are ready to take the journey.' The voice replied.

 

“What journey though, what am I supposed to do.” Kagome asked herself again.

 

`You know the answer to that Kagome. Don't fight yourself. Let me lead you.' The voice told her.

 

“But who are you?” Kagome asked.

 

`I am your soul child, your complete soul. You wonder why this is happening now. It is because I am whole again. You have been restored to being whole. And now, it is time for me to show you the path that destiny had laid for you. Trust yourself Kagome; trust me, your soul.' Kagome's soul told her.

 

“I do. Take me on my path.” Kagome replied, closing her eyes and feeling a warm sensation run through her.

 

She opened her eyes to see a bluish mystical light.

 

In the light was her, laying in the same bed of roses, at peace. She watched the smile of the happy Kagome and knew that she need not see anymore to know that this was her calling. Finally she would be happy. Finally she would be able to break away from her chains.

 

“Hello Kagome, all better I see…I'll fix that.” The voice of InuYasha sounded from behind her.

 

Kagome's eyes snapped open as she felt him grow closer, with intent to harm.

 

She felt a whooshing sound by her ear and noticed that she had moved herself from InuYasha's claw.

 

“InuYasha don't do this.” Kagome pleaded.

 

“No Kagome, you don't move. Let me finish you, you don't belong here!” InuYasha yelled as he got ready to attack her.

 

“You're wrong.” Kagome replied, unsheathing one of her daggers and throwing it at him as she lunged at her.

 

A scream of utter pain was released and then a thud was heard.
