-------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------

 

The demonic army charged the temple at his command and the boys stepped into the fight. Hiei used his sword with deadly precision, Yusuke pushed spirit energy into his fists, Kuwabara used his spirit sword, and Kurama was using his rose whip. They were being overrun quickly due to the massive force of the opposing army. Kagura had suddenly reappeared and was attacking her grandmother, who was also helping to fight. Kagome could also sense another aura in the temple.

 

She noticed a demon approaching her quickly, and dodged. It sliced her on the shoulder, but she sent power into it by touching it. No one noticed that she was fighting, but they noticed when Genkai cried out. Kagome flew to her side as the boys encircled them. "Grandma!" She demanded in an urgent whisper. Closing her eyes she could easily feel the life slipping from the older woman.

 

The battle stopped and the boys remained on guard as they were surrounded by numerous youkai. Kagome's whole body shook with her silent sobs and she could hear Kagura taunting her. "It seems you're about to lose everyone you care about... again. Poor girl, too weak to do anything." The wind user taunted with a smirk.

 

The opposing demons were laughing as they watched Kagome quietly stand. The four boys turned so they could see her. Bangs shadowed her eyes, and they could see the trails from where tears fell. The claiming mark on her shoulder was visible from where her shirt was torn at receiving her wound. Her entire body was shaking as she lifted her head to face Kagura. Everyone gasped when she opened her eyes. For they turned pink and glowed with power.

 

"I will not lose anyone else!" She said with a hiss. With that one statement, her barriers dropped. Power poured off of her in waves as her hair began to whip wildly around her body. Giving in to her power completely, she let it take control. Hands slowly rose so that they faced Kagura, and a cold dark smile lit her face. Words came from her mouth, in a voice not her own. "Die vermin." Power streaked through the sky as bursts of purifying ki exploded forward, consuming their enemies. Kagura died screaming in agony, the pain being more intense for her than the rest. When they were all dead, she turned to her dying grandmother. "I will not allow this."

 

The guys watched in fear and awe as power shot towards Genkai, healing her completely. Her eyes opened and she slowly stood, facing the young miko. "Kagome?"

 

A small smile appeared on her face and her purifying powers retuned to the surface. Letting out a scream, she collapsed to the ground, clutching her shoulder in pain. "What the fuck just happened?"

 

"Don't just stand there dimwit, pick her up and get her inside."

 

Grumbling to himself, he bent of to pick her up, but jumped back yelling. Smoke was coming off his hands as he looked at Kagome, wide eyed. "What the..."

 

"Can any of you dimwits touch her?"

 

Kuwabara moved to touch her, but jumped back at being shocked. Kurama tried, but he also got shocked. Genkai decided she'd try, but the power surrounding the girl also sent a jolt through her. Everyone looked to Hiei who stayed away. "Come on Hiei, ya afraid you'll get burnt?"

 

Glaring at the detective, he leaned down and easily lifted the girl into his arms. Everyone stared at them in shock until Kagome's body began to pulsate. Genkai's eyes widened in shock. "The jewel's power..."

 

The boys all looked at her. "What do you know, ya old hag?"

 

She smacked him on the head receiving an "ow", and looked back to her granddaughter. "Kagome told me most of her story. That there is the power of the jewel, meaning it is on her."

 

Kagome's eyes suddenly snapped open as she looked into a stunning crimson. ((Hiei?)) She asked mentally, knowing he could hear her.

 

//Hn?//

 

Blushing a deep red she continued to look at him. ((Why am I in your arms?))

 

//You fainted and I'm the only one who's able to touch you.//

 

((Oh...))

 

//Why are you surrounded with the jewel's power?//

 

((It's encasing me in a cocoon of power to destroy Naraku's mark since I don't want it.))

 

//Where is the jewel?//

 

Kagome smiled up at him and shook her head no. ((I won't tell as long as Naraku lives.)) Looking out at the others who were talking, she decided now would be a good time to talk to them about Naraku. "Yusuke..."

 

That got their attention, even if it was a whisper. "Kagome?" Yusuke asked as he turned to her.

 

"Apologize for being mean and I'll tell you what I know about Naraku."

 

"So you're willing to talk now?" Kurama asked as he narrowed his eyes at her.

 

"The jewel remains my secret, but I can help against Naraku. It is my fight after all."

 

Yusuke sighed, drawing everyone's attention. "I am sorry Kagome, it's just Keiko..."

 

She nodded. "Grandma said she was your fiance, so I understand." Looking around she sighed. "Can we go inside to talk?"

 

"That would be best." Genkai stated as she led them inside.

 

Once they were all inside and settled, Yukina came in with some tea. Smiling when she spotted Kagome, she introduced herself. Kagome happily returned the greeting, and the two seemed to become immediate friends. Kurama was the one to break their talking up. "So, mind telling us now?"

 

Taking a deep breath, Kagome steeled herself up for what she was about to do. Muscles tensed as she allowed her memories return. "I know I said I use to time travel to Sengoku Jedai, well that's where I met Naraku. When I first got there, I was attacked by a centipede demon, and it later attacked me after I was taken to a village. I ran into the woods to lead it away. I knew it was after me, but not why. The boy I had seen earlier, Inuyasha, he was awake now, though still pinned to the tree. After the centipede bit into my side and released the jewel, I released him. Kaede told me not to, but I wanted to live, and they couldn't help me.

 

It was the next day that the jewel shattered. I was trying to make it home, but I was attacked by bandits and taken to their leader. It turned out to be a carrying crow using the leader's body, and he attacked me. I saved the bandits, but lost the shikon. Inuyasha came then, and took one of the bandit's archery things and gave them to me. He said Kikyo was a master archer and that I should be able to hit the demon... needless to say I missed, and he dropped me. I ran to the village and saw the demon take a little boy. When Inuyasha destroyed the bird, I dove into the water to save the boy. He was shouting at me to save the jewel. The bird ended up reforming and was flying away... but it's foot still had hold of the boy. Using some rope, I tied the foot to an arrow, then fired the arrow at the demon, and that shattered the jewel."

 

"So you shattered the jewel?" Kurama asked.

 

"It was an accident, and I did put it back together. But that's how we heard of and met Naraku, during our hunt for the shards. We first met Shippo, my kit.... my son." Tears were trying to come, but she forced them back. "He was trying to take our shards so he could stand a chance against the thunder brothers. He wanted to avenge his father's death. I got kidnapped while trying to save him, but he got away. So it was worth it. He went to Inuyasha and they saved me. Next we met Miroku. He told us of Naraku. His grandfather had been cursed by him. The wind tunnel was in his right hand, and could suck anything into the void. It grew wider each year, until it sucked you inside. Then we met S-Sango and Kirara. Sango was a demon slayer, her entire village and family were destroyed by Naraku in a trap to get the village's shards. Her younger brother Kohaku was used to kill her father and the strongest of the village after they had slain a spider demon, but he only managed to injure Sango.

 

Naraku told her lies and she came after us..." Kagome suddenly started laughing. And they looked at her like she was crazy. "Sorry, it's just that all of my friends in that time either tried to eat, kill, kidnap, or do something else to me."

 

Genkai now laughed. "That is rather funny."

 

"After that, Kikyo took my shards."

 

"But I thought you said Kikyo was dead?" Kuwabara interrupted.

 

"She was, but an evil witch revived her." She looked up at them and she seemed rather amused about something. "Believe me when I say that having your soul sucked out is painful. I've had that done too many times to like."

 

"You've had your soul stolen?" Yusuke asked.

 

"Hai." She raised her hand to her chest. "And I'm still missing a piece, it means Kikyo's still alive."

 

"So what do you know about Naraku?" Kurama asked.

 

Looking up, she looked older than she was. "Everything."

 

"How do you know everything?"

 

"It was Kikyo."

 

"Huh?" Yusuke looked at her oddly. "What was Kikyo?"

 

"Kikyo cared for a bandit named Onigumo. His body was very badly burnt, and his limbs were broken. He never should've been able to move again, but he came to desire Kikyo and the shikon. His desire was so great that he called forth demons and offered his body and soul in exchange for the ability to have her. They joined, creating Naraku. He has a spider shaped burn scar on his back, Onigumo was said to have it as well. I should also tell you that he kept the powers and abilities that the jewel gave him, since he had it in his possession for so long. He can regenerate, send tentacles, create an almost impenetrable barrier, reflect attacks, and cast off pieces of himself to make incarnations, or as he calls them, his 'children'.

 

I now know that Kagura and Hakudoshi are still alive. My guess would be that Kanna is also. Moryomaru, who is Hakudoshi's creation, is also probably alive. I know that Akago is, he was an infant. I'm not sure if he'd stay in that state or not, but he is the heart. Naraku can not be killed as long as the heart remains. The problem is that Kanna watched over him and he had the fuyoheki. It's a stone that can suppress a demonic presence. Kanna herself has no presence. She is of the void. Her mirror reflects all attacks back at you, and if you look into it it'll steal your soul. Kagura has control over the winds, Hakudoshi is like Naraku, Akago can see into your soul and control you if he touches you, and Moryomaru is strong and very fast."

 

"How were they all stopped when they tried killing you then, if they're supposed to be that powerful?" Yusuke asked.

 

"Me."

 

"What?"

 

She looked up sadly. "The mirror, Kanna tried to take my soul but couldn't. It kept spilling out of the mirror, even though Kikyo had some of it. My arrow is the only thing that has ever stopped that mirror. Akago tried to use the spec of darkness he found in my heart. See, I was in love with Inuyasha and jealous of Kikyo at the time. I no longer love him that way, but I got away from Akago's hold by admitting my feelings. Kikyo was the only one who could break Naraku's barrier, but I can too... now."
