Ch 1 ~ A little pain in every life is normal…
Kagome looked down at the two halves of the jewel shard that she held in her hand.. - what do I do now?- she thought as she tightened her grip around the cursed object…
-The jewel is the reason for so much pain… and I am to blame for unleashing it into the world-
Kagome turned her head to the side.. letting her long midnight tresses hid her face… all her memories of the great battle flashing behind her closed eyes…
-Its my fault that they are dead… why?.. why did they die and not me?-
Kagome berated herself for not being stronger… she closed her hand around the cursed jewel once more… laying her hand on her stomach as she rested her head on the soft pillow behind her…
At this moment an old lady with an eye patch stepped through the door.. letting the curtain fall behind her as she walked closer to the broken priestess … she sat in a chair next to the bed and rested her hand on the girls forehead..
“Kagome.. ye need not feel bad.. there was nothing that ye could have done.. and your friends knew that… they love ye and would never blame ye”
The old woman just looked down at the small girl that lay in the bed before her.. she shook her head once before pulling the girl into a sitting position.. she handed the girl a cup and watched her sip at it before she stood…
“Kagome ye need all of your strength back before you attempt to do anything with the jewel… now drink your tea” she gave the girl a sad look before she headed out of the hut and into the afternoon sunlight…
A small kit ran to her side as she started to walk away from the hut that held the young miko…
“ Kaede.. is Kagome going to be ok?” the small kit just looked up at her and waited for her to respond.. they walked on.
The old woman looked down at the small demon child that she herself had become attached to… sighing as she thought about how glad she was that Kagome had managed to save him at least..
“ yes child.. I believe so… but not yet for a while. While her body heals .. her soul and mind still hold scars of loosing her friends that she held so dear… even now 3 weeks later” she smiled down a the child as she tried to reassure him.
Shippo only nodded his head.. and turned his gaze to the ground.. a tear slipping from his eye and running down his cheek.. - why should Kagome feel bad… she had to kill him… Naraku had him.. he had killed Sango and Miroku.. and he was going to kill her too.. she had to do it-
His mind screamed at him to be strong for her. But he couldn't help her.. he couldn't help himself.. “ I have to go now Kaede”
He took off at a run and headed for the well… tears streaming down his face.
All Kaede could do was watch as the small boy ran into the forest.. - please Kagome he needs ye more then anyone- she sighed as she walked back to the hut carrying a bucket of water over her shoulder…

Shippo ran through the woods.. not caring as the branches tore through his clothes and into his skin.. he finally broke through into a clearing and stopped when the well came into view…
He slowly approached it and laid a hand on the edge of the well… feeling the power that ran throughout it…
Tears continued to stream down his face.. - why did Inuyasha have to do that… why did he have to attack her… he should have fought Naraku better… he killed them.. our friends… then he tried to kill Kagome… she couldn't control her powers… they took hold of her and purified him.. she had no choice.. he was trying to kill me too.. she had too-
Shippo started to choke as he tried to force his tears to stop.. Kagome was all he had… and he was afraid of loosing her too…
He would be strong for her.. he would take care of her..
Shippo fell to his knees.. tears falling from his eyes as he clenched them shut.. “ please don't take Kagome” he cried out as his fears came rushing back to him…
What if the jewel took her away from him once she put it back together… his small frame shook.. he needed her.. she loved him.. she was his mother… she couldn't leave
Shippo howled out in pain as he clutched at his heart.. “ please don't take her from me after all this” he whimpered as he curled into a ball at the side of the well.. determined not to let his adopted mother see him like this.

Kagome set the cup down as Kaede entered the hut again.. Kagome turned her blank gaze to her.. “ I will fix the jewel tonight and make the wish.. I will not burden you any longer”
Kagome turned away from the older woman… her thoughts wondering to Inuyasha.. the love of her life.. that she had killed..
Kaede looked over to where Kagome still lay… “ Ye not feel bad… Naraku had taken his mind.. he had slain your companions … and was after your kit.. then you… your soul did what it believed to be right… it saved you and the kit and the Neko by purifying him… he still loves you… ye not need to burden yourself with such destructive thoughts… he would have wanted you to stop him before he hurt you..”
Kaede shifted her gaze back to the warm cloth that she had just pulled out of boiling water… looking over at Kagome yet again.. “ put this on ye head child” she said as she walked over to her.. handing her the cloth.
Kagome took the cloth and gently set it on her forehead.. she watched as the steam lifted of it and floated into the world and disappeared ..
She wished that she could just melt away into oblivion just like the steam had… but she couldn't.
No.. Midoriko's words played through her mind..
“Listen to me priestess .. for the words I say are true…
you are not yet through
this is not the end but the beginning
of a peril you will help destroy..
the forbidden child you will aid..
as three worlds apart become one..
under ice and fire you will find your one desire.”
Kagome ran the words over and over again in her head… - what does that mean?- she pondered over this.
She had told no one about the ancient priestess visiting her… she could not really say why.. she just felt like what she had told her was a secret and that no one else was meant to here it..
She stood next to her bed .. “ Kaede.. I need to get ready to go..” she smiled at the old woman who she had come to think of as a mother…
……………………… 8230;………………………… ………………..
Later that night -
Kagome sat next to the well.. her hand running through Shippos fluffy tail.. she looked down on him with gentle eyes
“I love you Shippo.. and I want you to know that in case I don't get a chance to say good bye”
Shippo gazed up at her.. and nodded.. not trusting his voice to speak.. she smiled again and stood next to the well and set him on the ground…
She pulled the two Jewel halves out of her pocket and looked down at them..
She held one in each hand .. she felt the power flicker between them as she forced them closer together..
-Gosh its like putting two same side magnets together - she thought as she struggled to do what she had been destined to.
Finally with a small purple flash the jewel was whole again…
Kagome was filled with a sense of completion.. - at least they didn't die for nothing- she choked as she held back her hot tears.. that threaten to over come her with emotion.
She looked into the faces of the people from the village that had gathered around the well to say their last goodbyes.. her face softening .
She turned her gaze down to the small child that sat by her legs..
Then back to the Jewel.. “ I wish for everyone to have happiness” she said as the Jewel started to glow a florescent pink…
She smiled as she felt herself being pulled away.. she turned her tear filled eyes toward Shippo.. “ Shippo!” she cried as she realized that he wasn't fading as well..
Kagome blacked out as she was swallowed by pink light…
“Okaa-san!” Shippo yelled as his tears fell down his face and splashed down the soft earth.. he jumped and landed with a soft thud on the ground.. right where Kagome had been.

Yusuke looked over at Kurama.. “ what did he call us here for if he isn't even here yet!” he yelled as Botan showed up with a pissed looking Hiei and a tired looking Kuwabara..
“He'll be here soon boys… don't worry” Botan smiled at them before turning around to leave.. “ see here he is” she smiled as she opened the door and Koenma was standing there..
She left the room and closed the door behind her as the Demi-God entered the room and took his seat at his desk..
“ now what ive called you here for is very important” he said through gritted teeth.. it was obvious what kind of a morning he had been having…
“ Its always important” Yusuke mocked as he rolled his eyes.. doubting whether it was of any importants at all..
“ Yes it is! “ Koenma shouted as his small face began to turn purple.
“Hurry up an tell us what it is!” Hiei yelled… he detested the fact that they were there.. and this was just prolonging the time that he had to spend here.
Koenma looked over at him skeptically .. “ yes well ok..” he said as he pressed a small button under his desk.. a picture of a shrine popped up on the screen on the far side of the wall.
“We have just gotten the Highest readout of Holy magic ever recorded sense the start to Rekai.. and it was at this shrine.. your job is to find out what it is and report back here to me. If it is a person bring them here at all cost” He said as he opened a portal to the shrine.. he shook his head as his detectives disappeared into the portal.
