A beautiful woman with dark black hair standing in a short green skirt overviewed the battlefield, comrade after comrade fell to the earth into eternal sleep until only she was left, she turned around and created a barrier as another attack came her way.  It had not been long ago that she would be on this field fighting Naraku, this would have been the glorious battle they were all looking forward too.  But times changed and so had Kagome. 

She looked around as the faces of her friends looked up at her, faces contorted in their final moments of agony.  Sango, her sister and her friend, was in the arms of Miroku.  At least the fiancés died in each other’s arms after all they had been through.  Shippo, her kit and her salvation, he and kilala were near each other, there was blood splattered over their faces and it made Kagome’s stomach curl in rage.  And finally Inuyasha—that silly, silly boy—He had fought so bravely and so valiantly, it was a shame for him to fall like this.

  And then Kagome looked at herself and then up to the armies that stood before her.  It was in this moment that she realized she could win, she could destroy their oppressors, but she could not do it alone.  She bowed her head as a blast of pure pink light swept over the field and many demons were purified instantly, it was now that she would make her hasty retreat, there was planning to be done. It was now that she must go and find the two people on this earth that would be able to help her, not that she knew that they would, but she was willing to give them a tempting offer, one that she was not going to enjoy.

Off to find Naraku first…he’ll be the easiest to convince.  Kagome thought as she set off with purpose in her step.
