So id like to dedicate this story to one of the sources of my everyday pain, but for E-tone!! (alias of course) hope you enjoy ;)

Chapter 1: The Beginning of My End

`Man, how long has it been since I've been here? A year now? Keh, the place hasn't changed one bit since I left.' The young girl of about 17 thought to herself as she began walking through the dense forest. She couldn't help but relish in the natural beauty that the place radiated in. at one time, she would have smiled and almost skipped down the familiar path, but now there was a deep scowl that etched into her features, `this place disgusts me. I can almost smell him in the air.' She thought as an unnatural growl began to rumble in her throat, showing off her sharp canines.

Silver eyes darkened in the moonlight as the individual went over the reasons why she had vowed never to return to this forbidden place.

:::Flashback::::

The group of four sat quietly in a small, dimly lit hut, staring blankly at the fire pit. Each individual was lost in their own thoughts, all on the same thing though. The unofficial leader of their group had been missing for two days now. He had ran off into the woods, chasing the foreboding glow of soul stealers.

The Taijiya had been convinced that it was a trap of Naraku's, but couldn't pass the glowing barrier that momentarily surrounded the woods. The monk meditated long and hard, trying to find the demon aura of their lost companion, but found nothing. The only one who knew the truth, was the young miko. She could feel her aura stirring even at that moment, Kikyou was near by. Whenever the dead priestess was nearby, her spirit would churn, feeling the lost remainder of it calling, and it calling to the lost part of its soul. She was caught in an uncomfortable game of tug-a-soul, and she hated it.

`Inuyasha, why did you leave us to find Kikyou? After all she's done in the past, you still run to her, like a lost puppy. I begged with you not to go, why didn't you listen to me?! I told you she would try to bring you to hell with her again, and I wouldn't be there to stop her, but you wouldn't listen to me. Its rare that you hear my voice anymore, isn't it inuyasha? I can only pray that you will come back to us, come back to me.'

At that moment, the object of alls worries, walked through the small door flap, and stood there staring at the ground for a moment. All but kagome jumped to their feet, she still could feel that something wasn't right.

"Inuyasha! Oh Kami where have you been? We've been so worried, we thought for sure that you were captured by Naraku. Tell me, were those soul stealers one of Naraku's illusions?" the small kitsune asked eagerly as he jumped onto the hanyou's shoulders.

"Ewww! Inuyasha, you smell like death! What's that horrible scent all over you?" shippou asked as he jumped back to floor and hid in the arms of the still silent miko, trying to escape the offending odor.

Inuyasha kept silent, and moved to the side to allow the other visitor to step into the house with him. "That scent, little demon, would be me. And I do not take well to such comments." Came the airy and cold voice of a female.

"Ki-Kikyou? You brought HER back with you? What were you thinking inuyasha? She's gonna kill us all, have you already forgotten that she's tried to kill kagome on multiple occasions?" asked the incredulous monk.

The dead miko smirked at Miroku, and looked over at her reincarnation, who was now flaring with her untrained energy, ready to take flight or fight, which ever came first. "Ha! You mean that little wench? She is no threat to me, and now that I have inuyasha, there is no reason for her to be here. So she will be sent on her way back to her own time, where she belongs!" she ended with a scowl, and her eyes threw daggers at kagome.

"What do you mean, inuyasha is yours?" kagome finally spoke up.

"Why don't you tell them inuyasha, koibito?" she emphasized the last word so everyone was sure to hear.

`LOVER?!' kagome screamed in her head, `what in the world is she talking about, lover. They cant possibly.'

Inuyasha cringed at the way Kikyou was speaking, but knew what he had to do. "Kikyou….Kikyou is my mate now, and…and I have invited her to travel with us. She understands that Naraku is at fault for what happened 50 years ago, so, so now she's going to help us with the mission." He said without looking up at the stunned and hurt faces of everyone in the room, not being able to keep his voice from cracking. He had known that taking Kikyou as his mate wouldn't go over well with the others, but at the time, he wasn't really thinking at all.

"You what?!" Sango all but screamed. "Oy, there shouldn't be a problem with it now should there Sango?! Who I choose to be my mate is my decision, and no one else's!"

"You seriously think that there shouldn't be a problem with this? I acknowledge that you have that right inuyasha. But to invite her to travel with us, without asking is another thing. She is one of our foes, who has tried to harm all of us in the past. She's a walking corpse who eats the souls of the dead, and who knows nothing of love, and you just expect us all to sleep comfortably at night? To act like she's always been here?"

"What about kagome?!" shippou screamed, tears falling from his eyes. He had always hoped deep in his heart, that inuyasha would become mates with kagome, then it would have been like he had a family again. Kagome was already his mother figure, and he had secretly looked up to inuyasha as he did his father.

Inuyasha's eyes snapped over to the wailing of the kitsune, the fresh tears not escaping his sight or his sense of smell. "Shushhh, its okay shippou, calm down. Clearly inuyasha has made his choice, and there's nothing that you or me, or any of us can do to change that." came the whisper from kagome, whose face was shielded behind her thick bangs.

Inuyasha's heart began to thud in his chest when he caught the anguish and hurt in the girls voice, he also noticed the smell of fresh salt coming from her, she was crying as well. He didn't want to hurt kagome, gods knows that was the last thing he wanted to do. Deep inside he knew that he had somehow fallen for the bright and cheerful girl from the future, but he had loved Kikyou first, it wasn't fair to Kikyou, `was it?'

Kagome looked up to face inuyasha, not even attempting to hide her tears, knowing full well that she couldn't keep her feelings from inuyasha, one look into her eyes and he would know it all.

"You hear me inuyasha? I understand that this is what you've chosen, so I'll go along with it." she looked down at the floor again before continuing, "that's why…that's why I'm leaving, tonight. Before the sun rises I will be gone and out of your life."

Everyone's breath caught in their throats, as they watched the young distressed girl stand on shaky legs, due to her lack of food, to worried about inuyasha to eat for the past two days. She moved to where her backpack sat in the corner, and slowly started putting her few belongings inside.

"No, kagome-Chan! You can't leave, don't make this baka ruin the life you have with us. We all love you, I don't know what we'd do without you." Sango said as she dropped to the floor to embrace her friend. "Sango, you all will be fine without me. Kikyou can sense the jewel shards just as well as I can, there's no use for me any longer. All I was for the group was the shard detector, now I've been replaced. Kikyou isn't only a shard detector now, or another miko, but she's also Inuyasha's mate, something that I never was. So, she is clearly of more use to him." She finished, and then lightly pushed Sango away from her so she could stand.

She reached down and helped Sango to stand, and then bent down to lift her sack onto her shoulder. Shippou was sniffling, trying as hard as he could not to lose it. Miroku watched on with sad eyes, throwing a harsh and disapproving glance at inuyasha every now and then.

Kagome walked towards the front of the room, gave both Sango and Miroku hugs, and picked up shippou into her arms. He lost it in her arms, and wailed into her chest, soaking the top of her schoolgirl uniform. "Okasan, I'm going to miss you! Promise me you'll come back! please!" we pleaded in-between sobs.

Kagome gave him a sad smile, "I can't say I will shippou. But I'll never forget you, you will always be in my heart. You will grow up to be strong, and you wont need me anymore, trust me. In the meantime, you have plenty of family who love you here."

"Not inuyasha! He wouldn't do this to you and me if that was true. And there's no way I'm going to let that Kikyou woman be my mother. I still cant believe that youre its reincarnation, how could she be so hateful and evil if she was you? You're always happy and smiling, and bring me stuff from your time."

"I am not HER! She is ME. Remember that little one." Kikyou snapped, cutting off the conversation.

"Right…and hand-me-downs are never wanted, so I'm leaving." Kagome replied sadly, and set shippou to the ground. She pushed her way past Kikyou to stand infront of inuyasha. He put his hand out to her, hoping to get away with a formal and silent farewell. Instead, kagome simply dropped the small vile containing the jewel shards in his outstretched hand. "Here inuyasha. You'll need this. Kikyou will find the rest, although she doesn't have the power to purify it, you need a pure soul to do that." she scoffed with venom in the general direction of Kikyou, who scoffed in response. " You're on your own for that part. Good bye, it was nice being of service to you. I guess I wont be seeing you around, but take care of your self anyways." Her voice shaking as she fought for her fleeting composure.

With that, she stepped past him, and walked towards the dark forest, which no longer held the usual warmth of savior in it.

"Kagome…" inuyasha whispered into the cold night air, forgetting that he was surrounded by people.

"A little late for apologies, you think inuyasha?" Miroku stated in an emotionless voice, not even trying to make eye contact with him.

"Its all your fault! Kagome's cried too many times over you, and now she's gone! Get it? She's not coming back!" shippou screamed at him as he ran between the hanyou's legs and out into the night.

:::::::end flashback:::::::

"Guess I should drop in and say hello then eh?" kagome said to herself as she continued walking. A moment later she felt strong arms embrace her from behind. "Kagome? Is that really you?" she threw her elbow back into the ribcage of her captor, and then spun around to see who it was. "Kouga-kun?! I'm sorry, I thought you were someone else."

The wolf youkai looked up at his attacker, "nice to see you too. Man, since when do you pack such a punch?" he laughed as he rubbed his aching ribs.

"Why didn't I sense your shards when you were so close? I know I can't be that rusty." She thought aloud.

Kouga growled at the topic, "because that dog shit hanyou's mate ripped them from my body shortly after you left. Why DID you leave kagome? Inuyasha wouldn't tell me, actually, he has never said a word on any occasion that we happened to run into each other."

"I don't want to talk about it. Lets just say, we grew apart. To tell you the truth, I don't really know why I'm even here!"

"Well, I'm glad to see you again kagome. You don't know how much I've missed you. I've blamed that inutrasha for whatever the reason was that you were gone. I knew it had to be his fault, he's such a moron."

"Keh, damn straight he's a moron." She smiled to herself, quite enjoying the conversation, not to mention she was happy to see an old friend. She couldn't help but notice how handsome he was, she must have forgotten how hot he was, because she had never felt like this around him before. That's when she got an evil grin on her face.

"Hey Kouga," she began in a deep and sultry voice, "did you really miss me?"

He gave her a questioningly look, he had never seen this side of kagome, it was a total 180 from how he remembered her. That's when he noticed her change in appearance. The ends of her hair were dyed a deep red, and looked like they were dipped in fire. Her eyes were now silver, as opposed to the soft hazel that he remembered. Not to mention the fangs that showed when she smirked her seductive smile. She was dressed in a tight leather tube top, and wore a tight leather mini skirt with black fishnets underneath. And he thought her school uniform looked strange!

"Of course I missed you kagome, it killed me to not be able to see you, to pick up your scent along my travels. It drove me wild." He stated, his voice deepening and trailing as he raked his eyes over her exposed flesh. "Wild eh? I like wild." She retorted, as she stepped forward so that her breasts brushed against his chest, and their faces were only inches apart.

"Now do you? I like a wild side in a woman."

"Really, `cause there's not one part of me that ain't wild." She whispered in his ear, her hot breath brushing across his cheek, and one of her fangs grazing his jaw line. When she came down to his mouth, she waited.

Kouga wasted no time in claiming her lips, he wanted to devour every part of her, right then and there. Kagome moaned when she felt the wolf demons claws graze over her exposed arms, and then envelope her in a tight embrace. Kouga took the opportunity to sneak his tongue into her open mouth, and he pulled her head back by her hair and deepened the kiss.

Once they parted for air, kagome fluttered her eyes open to look into the piercing blue eyes of Kouga, flashing him a fanged grin. "I've missed you too, Kouga."

"So now that you have no tyings to dog crap, will you accept my claim on you as my mate?"

Kagome thought for a moment while she searched his eyes, "that sounds good to me Kouga, I think I would really like that. That is, if you think you can handle me."

Kouga smirked back at her, "heh, I think the question is, can you handle me my dear?" and with that, he moved his mouth down to her neck, and sucked at her pulse once. Then he sunk his fangs into her shoulder, and relished in the taste of her warm blood.

Kagome gasped at the sensation, and fell limp into his arms. "What, what was that?" she asked once he had pulled away, and softly ran his tongue over the wound.

"That's the mark used between mates, it will show everyone that you are taken, and it serves as a bond between us."

She smiled as she ran a finger over the mark, and received a jolt of electricity that shot through her being. "Okay Kouga, I think its about time we visit our dear friend inuyasha and his bitch, just to say hi and share the good news of course." She said, flashing her mischievous grin that she was quickly becoming famous for.

Kouga matched her grin when he caught drift of what she really meant, "alright, lets go rub it in dog boys nose." He said as he leaned in to give her a quick kiss on the cheek. "and after which we can head back to my den, and we can finish this little mating bond of ours." He finished, giving her a wink.

Kagome remembered a time that she would have blushed a new shade of red at the comment, but those days were over, left behind in her past of innocence, and virginity. `No longer. The little girl whose heart you shattered, has returned as the demon you made me into. Ready or not, here I come ,my dear inuyasha."

Suteki: hehe, kinda cliffy. But don't worry, more to come soon!!! Until then, ja ne!
