Chapter Three

I awoke to morning sounds of people busting around. For a moment I thought I was amazingly enough in my own bed until I felt the dull ache in my shoulder.

Ignoring the ache I levered myself up and glance around. It looked as if I were in a giant hospital.

Sighing in relief I saw my brother sleeping peacefully. I smiled my first smile in days as I remembered how he used to sleep. Before demons had come he had used to sleep in his room clutching a teddy bear with a contented look on his face. I lost the smile I as I remembered the nights I stayed at home when had demons reappeared. He would latch onto me in terror and sleep with me in my bed all the while holding onto my midriff as if I were his only lifeline.

Mama would tell me that when I wasn't there he'd sleep at the foot of my bed holding onto my pillows. He would cry himself to sleep. He sometimes got to the point where he no longer did anything at all. He wouldn't eat, sleep or even play.

Sighing at the bitter memories I pushed my self out of bed. Walking around I noticed that there were very few out about and walking. There were way too many in bed. With my miko powers I could feel the death that lingered in the air and it saddened me as well as pissed me off.

So when some one walked up behind me my first instinct was to attack. Luckily the guy was fast enough to catch my hand, otherwise he probably would've have been knocked to kingdom come.

In the three weeks since demons had appeared I had started taking lessons from Sango and even Miroku. I also watch the way Inuyasha fought more closely. Kaede had also taught me how to use my miko powers better. I still wasn't very good and I still lost control every once in awhile, but I was a whole lot better than I was when I was a naïve fifteen-year-old.

Recognizing the guy that held my head I relaxed. It was the demon that looked human.

Regarding me with a type of amused glare he asked, "Shouldn't you be in bed?"

"Naw."

"Oh?" he asked raising his eyebrows. "That last time I checked you had a pretty serious shoulder wound."

I looked at my shoulder and took off the bandage when he let go of my arm. He tried to stop me, but stopped when he saw the new pink flesh of the healing wound. I would have a nice scar there.

I almost laughed at the look on his face but instead just turned around and went to see my little brother.

To say I was amazed would have been an understatement. I knew it took days for a demon to heal and much longer for a human, but somehow this girl had speeded up that process and I could tell she wasn't a demon.

She was a puzzle that I couldn't quite figure out.

Shaking her from my head I went over to Kurama's bed. He was doing so much better since he had decided to actually live. Now he was no longer spitting up blood and his energy was so much stronger now.

He had started making medicines from the plants he could control and there were now many others who were actually moving around.

We still have done nothing about the demon attacks. We were both too weak. The shot gun attack I used, used up over half of my energy.

I smiled at him and he attempted to smile but it came out of more of a grimace. I walked out side to be alone and to think about what to do. I wasn't expecting to see that strange girl sitting up on the roof, like I planned to do, staring up at the moonless night.

I stared up at the new moon as I thought about Inuyasha. I wondered how he was doing. I knew he was dead by now, but I wondered how long he had survived. I also wondered what Shippo thought of me when I left him.

I wondered if Miroku and Sango ever got together and I wondered if they ever killed Naraku. I was so deep into my thoughts that I didn't since another's presence until he spoke.

"Do normally make it a habit to let people sneak up on you?"

"No. I was just thinking."

"Yeah people do a lot of that now a days."

"Yeah. I certainly have."

I stared at her. She made quite the beauty when she was cleaned up. She had raven hair and unusual smoky blue eyes. She was also thin and tall. She looked to be about sixteen or seventeen. In ways she reminded me of Keiko.

Gawd I missed her! I had always known I would outlive her because of my demon side but I always thought we'd have years and years together. Now though I almost wished I had died with her.

Except if I had. Kurama would have been dead and so would have this girl that was staring into the moonless night.

"What's your name?" I asked out of the blue.

"Kagome, yours?"

"Yusuke," I answered and then asked, "So how'd you come here?"

God I couldn't believe the nerve of this guy! I barely knew him and already he was prying. I sighed as I remembered and answered.

"My mother and grandfather were killed. Our shrine was destroyed and all that's left of my family is my brother and I.

"You?"

"I was fighting and lost my entire family along with all my friends. My wife was there and she died in my arms." He said softly as he seemed to remember every detail of that day.

"I imagine everyone in this place had family members killed. I doubt that there're many that still have someone to cling too."

He nodded and we sat in quiet for awhile until he asked, "What are you?"

I froze at this question, "What do you mean?"

"You don't feel demon, yet you heal faster than any demon I've ever met."

"Oh. I'm human and I only heal fast because I'm a priestess."

"Priestess?" he asked in confusion.

I glared at him in annoyance, "Yes a priestess, miko whatever you call it!"

"Hey you don't have to go all moody on me."

Again there was silence as I listened to the crickets. You could no longer here the rumble of a car or the whistles of a train. All there was, was silence and nature's lone call.

"That explains it!"

"Explain what?"

"You're a miko, so you can sense demons!"

"So? What's your point?"

"Oh nothing really. It was just bothering me."

I glared at Yusuke in annoyance and was about to leave until I remembered something, "How is it that so many demons just suddenly appeared? I mean I thought there weren't any left."

I stared at her in confusion when she said this. What did she mean, she had thought there were none left. There had always been demons, they were just in hiding, I thought.

I shook out of my stupor at her impatient glare as I explained:

"There are three worlds. The spirit world, where the dead go, the demon world, and of the human world. None of these worlds were actually connected. There are ways to get to the demon world but you have to be low level demon.

"I know at one point the demon and humans lived on the same world but there is a legend that states, that as the demons started to grow and humans diminish mikos of immense power started to come forth. They banished the demons that refused to live with the humans peacefully to another world.

"It is said among demons that the traitors of their kind stayed on Earth and lived like worthless humans. Personally I'd rather live here than in the Demon world."

"Why?" she asked in curiosity.

"Because the demon world is a dying place. I've there a few times."

"So are you a low level demon?"

He shook his head as he answered, "I guess I'm at least an S level Demon. I'm sort of a king's son."

"So you're a lord?"

I shook my head, "Not really. I suppose you could say that but I gave up my Kingdom because I didn't want to rule. Instead I set up a tournament that would decide the new ruler. I lost because I wasn't strong enough. I probably will be in another hundred years if I even survive that long."

Again there were silence. Silently she got up and left and I didn't even bother to follow her I continued to think of a way to fight.

My tired mind really didn't want to deal with the information I had just received. I was worn out emotionally and physically and all I really wanted to do was lye down and sleep.

Sighing softly I laid down on my bed. Almost immediately I fell into a light sleep.

Thanks to those who review, I really appreciate it.
