Disclaimer: Nothing belongs to me...maybe...at least, not yet.

A/N:Here's another chapter. Thanks to all my reviews for praising my "amazing ability" as a writer. I thank you all. Another thing: Kagome did get the last piece of her soul back when Kikyo died. I just didn't feel like writing it.

Where we last left off:

"Do you have any idea where she is at, Koenma?" I asked, hopeful.

"Last time I talked to her, she was near a barren wasteland, near Sesshomaru's castle," he explained, "you must stop her. She is totally disregarding orders, and needs to be calmed down before something bad happens."

"She just got her kid taken away and you're worried about what daddy thinks?" Yusuke cried.

"Moron," Hiei muttered.

"Just do as I said," he ordered and hung up.

Botan arrived and opened a portal for us.

Let's hope that we can find her, Yoko+ I said.

If anything happens to her... Yoko growled.

I nodded, fearful in what the future may bring.

Now on with the show..

Note:

iiiiii are thoughts.
uuuuuu is Yoko talking to Kurama and Kagome
+llllll+ is Kurama talking to Yoko and Kagome
-aaaaa- is Kagome talking to Yoko and Kurama.

/lllll/ is change between points of view.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

/Kagome's POV/

I sat outside, waiting for the others. I had just heard that Sango and Miroku died, years ago. They had gotten married and had loads of kids. Miroku's wind tunnel was gone, since we defeated Naraku before. I used a spell to prevent it from coming back in case Naraku did return.

At least they lived a happy life. I sighed, knowing how much I had missed.

"Hey, Kagome!" I heard. I looked up and saw Inuyasha, walking towards me. He sat next to me on the grass.

"Are you still mad at me?" he asked me. His ears flattened against his head, as if he was waiting for me to yell at him.

"I was years ago, Inu," I replied, "but that's changed. Even though you pushed me and almost killed Meilin, I forgive you. I cannot hold grudges, even though I try."

"Don't worry, Kagome," he said, "We will find our daughter."

"I really am sorry about Kikyo, Inuyasha," I continued, "she was your first love, and it didn't help that I looked so much like her did it? Maybe that was why I had hoped you would learn to love me like you did her. I guess I was wrong."

"Don't say that," he placed his hand on mine, "I love you, Kagome, just not like that."

I nodded, sniffling, trying to hold back tears.

"You are the mother of my child," he continued, "and you will always have a special place in my heart. I'm just glad that you found someone who loves you just as much as me and Sesshomaru do."

"He is amazing, Inuyasha," I praised, "I do wish that I didn't have to keep secrets from him."

"You'll tell him soon, Kagome," he said, "I'm sure."

We both got up and hugged, our problems over. It's nice to forgive and forget, to not have any regrets.

I had talked to Kurama and Yoko earlier. They didn't sound too pleased when I told them to stay and that I would be masking my scent so they wouldn't find me.

"Let's go," Sesshomaru and Shippo walked up to us.

They started down the path. I stopped, grasping my chest, feeling a pain that I had never felt before.

This must be it. The pain that I was told about. If I don't find her soon, there will be hell to pay.

A growl rose from my throat, and it took a lot of my energy to supress it. I followed them down the path, anxious to tear Naraku apart.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

/Kurama's POV/

We made it to Makai. I was angry at Koenma. All he cared about was not getting into trouble by his father.

Frankly, I don't give a damn about what Koenma says Yoko said with annoyance.

I have to agree, Yoko+ I replied, fuming +he has no right to do that+

Eventually, she'll loose control Yoko explained She'll feel the pain that Meilin goes through and that will break her heart. There's nothing more dangerous than a demon mother, desperately trying to find her kid.

We found the barren wasteland Koenma mentioned very quickly. A path led into the woods. After following that path, we made it to a clearing.

"Where to now?" Yusuke asked.

"There!" Kuwabara pointed. A large castle stood atop a hill.

"This must be the castle that belongs to Sesshomaru," I said. We ran up to the hill, making it to the castle.

Kuwabara knocked on the door.

"Who's there?" a voice called.

"We need to speak to the lord of this castle," I announced.

The doors opened, revealing a green toad, holding a staff with two heads.

"Lord Sesshomaru is not here," he said, "he is away on business. Perhaps you wish to talk to the lady of the castle."

"Please," I replied. He led the way to a dining hall. A young girl, with dog ears, sat at the table.

"Who are these people, Jaken?" she asked.

"I am Kurama," I announced, "This is Hiei, Yusuke, and Kuwabara." I pointed to each one in turn.

"You are Kurama?" she asked. She stepped forward. I nodded.

"It's nice to see you again, Kurama," she said. I frowned, puzzled.

"It's not a surprise that you would forget me," she continued, "I was just a little child back then, following Lord Sesshomaru everywhere. I am Rin, Lady of this castle."

"Were you not a human before?" I asked.

"I was turned into a dog demon after I married Lord Sesshomaru," she explained, "Anyhow, how can I be of assistance to you?"

"I am looking for my mate," I explained, "Have you seen Kagome?"

"She is with Lord Sesshomaru, Lord Inuyasha, and Shippo," she replied, "I do not know where they went. All I know is that they are after Naraku."

"Why did you not go with them?" Yusuke asked.

"I am pregnant," she added, "Lord Sesshomaru wishes me to stay here so I do not hurt the child."

"Which way did they go?" Kuwabara asked.

"They went south, probably to Kouga's den," she said. I nodded. After thanking her, we took our leave.

We headed down south, hoping that we could find Kagome soon.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

/Kagome's POV/

We made it to a cave. It looked strangely familiar.

"Why are we here, Sesshomaru?" I asked.

"You do not recognize this place, Kagome?" Shippo asked. I frowned, shaking my head.

"This is the cave that belongs to that dirty wolf, Kouga," Inuyasha grunted. I smiled.

Kouga. Another one of my past admirers, or at least he was. From what Shippo told me, he mated with Ayame, and had a few pups. I was happy for them. Kouga needed someone who can help him; not me.

We made it to the entrance when I fell to the floor.

"Kagome!" Shippo cried. Inuyasha ran to my side; Sesshomaru looked at me, concern in his eyes.

"I'm...fine..." I panted. My eyes turned red. I growled.

"It's happening," Sesshomaru responded, "She has been away from the pup too long Inuyasha. If we do not find her soon, she will lose control."

"What about her mate?" Inuyasha asked.

"He can calm her down," Sesshomaru, "enough to the point that the pain won't hurt her."

Inuyasha nodded and ran off, hoping to find Kurama.

Shippo hugged me, hoping to return me to normal.

"Calm down, momma," he said, "please."

I felt my power shift, slowly growing more demonic.

Calm down, Kagome. You can't lose the battle now. Not when we are so close. So close to Naraku. So close to Meilin.

I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself.

"Heya, Kagome," I heard.

I looked up and saw Kouga. He hadn't changed at all. Ayame stood beside him. Two younger kids hid behind their legs.

"Is she alright?" one kid asked.

"Oh, no," Ayame said, rushing to my side. She helped me up and led me to a rock.

"What's going on?" Kouga asked while Ayame helped me sit down.

"Naraku is back!" Shippo exclaimed, "he took Kagome's daughter, Meilin. Kagome is now feeling the effects of it now."

"She needs to see her pup soon, Kouga," Ayame warned, "She can't take much more of this."

"Inuyasha went to find her mate," Shippo continued.

"But I thought Meilin was Inuyasha's child?" Kouga asked.

"She is," Sesshomaru said, "Kagome mated someone else. We need your help with Naraku."

Kouga nodded and glanced at Ayame, who was sitting next to me, trying to calm me down.

It was then that I snapped. I pushed Ayame back and started running.

Sesshomaru and Kouga had to grab me and hold me down.

"Let me go!" I cried, "I have to kill Naraku!"

"Calm down," Sesshomaru ordered.

I growled and swiped at the both of them. They just held me down even more.

"I feel her crying!" I shouted, "I have to save her!"

/Kurama's POV/

We kept on walking, stopping for breaks now and then.

"You should've gone before we left, Kuwabara!" Yusuke yelled.

"Idiot," Hiei muttered, standing in a tree.

"Shut up!" Kuwabara shouted.

I sensed a presence.

"Someone's coming," Hiei announced, "be on guard."

We all hid, waiting for whoever it was to show. It was then we saw him, Inuyasha.

"Kurama!" he yelled, "Where are you?"

"What do you want?" I asked.

He probably wants to lose again Yoko chuckled.

+Not now, Yoko+ I said.

"You need to come with me," he said, walking up to me.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"Kagome needs your help," he explained, "she's slowly losing control. Soon, she'll be taken over by her demon side."

I nodded. I looked at my teammates.

"Let's go," I said.

We all ran after Inuyasha. He led us to a cave by the waterfall. Wolves were everywhere.

"Where are we?" Kuwabara asked.

"This is Kouga's tribe of wolf demons," Inuyasha explained.

We made it to the cave entrance. Inside was a horrible sight. Kagome was restrained, against the wall. She was growling like crazy, swiping at anyone who came near her. She was screaming her head off.

(Think you can do something fox) Hiei wondered.

What can we do+ I asked.

You can start by walking up to her Yoko said You know, letting her know that we are here.

I walked up to where Kagome was restrained. Everyone had their eyes fixated on me.

"Kagome?" I called, touching her face.

She looked up at me, red eyes blinking. She glared at me and growled. She then tried to swipe at me.

"Let me out!" she shouted.

"Calm down, Kagome," I pleaded, "it's me, Kurama."

"I don't care!" she yelled. Her eyes changed to brown, than back to red.

She hears you Yoko said Keep trying.

I hugged her. She froze, hands falling limply to her sides.

"K...K...Kurama," she whispered. Her eyes turned back to brown.

"Kagome," I whispered back. She wrapped her arms around me.

"I'm sorry," she said. She fainted.
