Sated

Hey hey uhh read review and that's all I really have to say. Oh yea and try to enjoy.

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha

===========

The waves. They were only thing that engulfed his vision as he watched them stride from afar. Beautiful, indestructible and deadly. Just like him. His whole life was based on the waters and everything they were. The water was never controlled. Not by fear, love or hate. It was the water that controls everything, except for...

===========

...The wind. Something she had grown to love in the years of traveling around in the feudal era. No one could control the wind...not even wind itself. And Kagura of course. But she was once again part of the earth, which is what happens when one falls to death. Other then her no one had control and no one ever will. And it was free, something she had wanted to be for so long. There was a task at hand and she knew she had to find a way to accomplish it. She had already given thought to find Koga and get some help from him, or possibly make a wish on the completed jewel.

By Gods did she wish. Every second since she had felt the Jewel in the palm of her hand she wished. But none of her thoughts became a reality. The Jewel continued to glare and laugh at her. Everything she had wished remained just that but a wish.

As the wind howled louder rain soon followed. She was all alone. And she stood there as the rain drenched her where she stood and she had nothing left. Her feelings were gone as were the friends that were taken away from her. She couldn't think of where to go or who to seek out. But her dream to go home for good had finally faded out.

She stood there in her rain soaked clothes as she grasped the Shikon Jewel in her hand.

She was concerned. Not for herself but for everyone that had once been around her. She wasn't full of grief or remorse. She was sated. Her body and soul...sated. The sight she had seen early came flashing before her eyes as she tried to mistake the happenings as nothing but a dream.

Flashback

Inuyasha had stood his ground as the fight got even worse and the demons around them had multiplied beyond belief. Sango and Miroku were fighting left of him as they tried with all their might to keep the demons at bay.

Kagome pulled back on the string of her bow as it killed another 4 demons to Inuyasha's right. It was her job to try and protect Shippou. So she tried just as valiantly as the others.

But it is the valiant fighters that die in the end.

The noise was un-ignorable. The screaming coming from the far left of Inuyasha. Kagome tried to ignore it and continue her fight but it was unmistakable as everything around them began to cave in.

When Kagome finally mustered the courage to glance at her side, a lump appeared at the base of her throat as one of her worse fears came alive. Things around her and her fighting companions began to fly into the direction of the screaming. Miroku's tunnel had finally been pushed to its limits. As the hole began to split his screams became louder. 'Impossible.' Kagome thought as she watched the scene unfold in front of her.

But Sango couldn't take it. Her heart was ripping apart at what she saw in front of her. She left her post and ran towards him while crying his name in fear of the inevitable, but fate was never kind and the inevitable was just that...inevitable.

When Kagome realized just what Sango was doing she left Shippou to fight on his own while she attempted to grab the sobbing demon slayer. Kagome was not strong enough to fight off Sango's blows to her as she become free and continued running to Miroku.

As Sango finally reached her destination it was too late to save him...or herself. In a matter of mere seconds Sango and Miroku were both consumed into the tunnel. And with them went a part of hope Kagome had held in her heart for so long. Kagome fell on her knees at the sight of emptiness. Why were the fates so cruel? Especially when they were so close to completion. So close to the end of the long winding path they had been on for years.

And her anger began.

Screaming...Kagome heard it. More screaming. She was sure it had ended but like everything else she thought, this was untrue. She turned her head quickly as she caught a glimpse of Naraku's tentacles forcing its way through Inuyasha's flesh. 'This is only a dream', Kagome thought inside of her mind as she raced towards the fallen hanyou.

And her anger rose.

'I can't do this.' Kagome thought as she cradled Inuyasha in her arms. Naraku was hovering over her while she held Inuyasha in her arms. Kagome let Inuyasha's injured body lay on the ground as she got up and aimed an arrow at Naraku. But something in the background had caught her eye. At first all she could see of it was white. And as she stared at the object the rest of it came into view. It was Sesshoumaru. He was quietly waiting in the background as they all died one by one. 'Why won't he help us? He wants Naraku dead as much as we do.'

"Why Won't You Help US????????" She screamed while looking Sesshoumaru in the eyes as she brought her arm back and let an arrow fly towards Naraku. As easily as she shot it he had already dodged to the side. Still in the shadows Sesshoumaru just sat and watched.

And her anger rose.

Shippou was nowhere in sight but she knew he was ok. As she stood she created a barrier around Inuyasha for his protection. In blind fury she grabbed his sword and charged at Naraku.

"Ku ku ku. It looks as if you Miko are all on your own. Who will defend you now?" At this he grab her ankle with one of his tentacles. Kagome grid her teeth together but promised herself that she wouldn't give him the satisfaction at hearing her scream. She had no more options so she tried with all her might to use the rusty blade in her had to sever the hold he had on her. With no luck she managed to cause a few scratches on his tentacle but was capable of releasing herself.

And her anger rose.

The wind began to change direction but this didn't go unnoticed by herself or Naraku. How could it? They were the only two people who were even able to fight. But only one was willing while the other stood in the shadows and watched everyone else's demise. As she was still in Naraku's grasp the Tessaiga changed into the brilliant fang Inuyasha was so fond of carrying around with him. Kagome didn't even think about what happened as she used the great sword to slice through the tentacle and fell to the ground. She didn't even notice her barrier around Inuyasha had collapsed.

She ran towards Inuyasha's fallen body as Naraku continued his pursue of her. By the time she had reached Inuyasha's body so had Naraku. "Perfect isn't he?" Naraku had picked Inuyasha's body up with a tentacle and swayed him around like a piece of meat.

"Let Inuyasha go," Kagome screamed as she ran further towards him.

"You have something that belongs to me and without that I will never give you your precious hanyou back." At this his body became that of his human self and he flew away with Inuyasha in his arms. "Until I have the completed jewel in my grasp I will keep your Inuyasha with me. You have two weeks until I come and get it. You could give it up willingly and have Inuyasha or you can fight and meet him in hell."

End of Flashback

============

Tears began to fall from her eyes as she remembered that dreaded battle. But it wasn't a battle, it was a massacre. 'How could he just stand there and watch me fight him? I hate him. Who would have ever thought Sesshoumaru to be a coward.' She began to walk forward with the fox kit in her arms. She found him not to far away unconscious. At least he was still alive.

How much longer did they have anyway? How much longer did they have to live? It was as if everything in her world was crumbling down and Naraku was the center of it all. She had no way of fighting. No way of finding someone to help her fight.

She continued down the muddy path while the Tessaiga clung to her hip. She looked down at the sword concentrating on her next moves to defeat Naraku now that it was just her.

"Great I have a sword I can't wield, I have no allies strong enough to help me defeat Naraku, and Inuyasha is in extreme danger." She continued to walk down the path to the well and couldn't help but get the feeling of failure.

What she didn't realize was how terribly wrong she was. She hadn't failed just yet but neither had she completely succeeded. But whatever it was she had done she wouldn't stop without a fight.

She slipped on the muddy path but quickly caught her balance. She knew what she had to be done and she had no second thoughts about it. She began to walk faster and with more determination as she was reaching her destination. Without turning back she leapt into the well and was engulfed by the sensation of time travel.

When she climbed out of the well with Shippou in her grasp and walked out of the shrine to her home. Her mother's mouth flapped open as Kagome came in through the door. She was soaked; her body was full of scratches and covered in blood that appeared to be someone else's. Her mother was so fixated on her appearance she didn't notice the child lying in Kagome's arms.

"What happened to you?" Her mother asked as she approached her daughter.

"Naraku ambushed us. Sango and Miroku are..." She shut her eyes tightly as ore tears strolled down her face. "Gone." Her voice was barely a whisper but her mother heard her as clear as glass.

"I know I have to do something. I'm leaving Shippou here with you so he can't get hurt. Inuyasha is in danger and I have to save him." She opened her eyes to spare a look at her mother's saddened face as she slammed Shippou into her arms and ran towards the front door. " I love you mom, but I refuse to waste any more time. I most likely won't be coming back."

And with out another glance she was gone, nothing more but a faint vision in the wind. A tear made its way down Mrs. Higurashi's chins as her lips curled into a smile. Destiny was at hand and her daughter was dashing into it.

==========

Well that's the first chapter. I have no Idea what this will develop to I guess it depends on how many reviews I get. No point in continuing a story if no one read is. Please review if you would like me to continue if not I totally understand. I mainly started this one cause I have a weird personality. I have a great life but sometimes I am extremely depressed and others extremely goofy and happy. I have a story to go with my goofy side but not a story to go with my depressed state so this one is for it. Thanks for your time
