Failure of the Past Effects the Future by whitetiger148

History with No Future

A silent figure walked down the road in silence, she had long black hair pulled back in a braided pony tail loose strands hung around her cheeks, her brown eyes where soft and her bang hung slightly over them. The sky was red and silence was all around her. The road was in ruins along with cities she passed threw. Evil aura was all she felt and the smell of death was all around her. She knew how it came to be and that she had failed as the protector of the Jewel of Four Souls. Her friends didn't die but Naraku had succeeded in defeating them in collecting the shards. Her eyes sad but no tears fell as she thought of her friends. She remembered everything.

Flashback

Kagome sat on the cold floor of the dungon, finally awakening. Little by little she realized where she was and panicked but the weight of chains around her wrists came into focus and she looked around. "HELP!!" Footsteps echoed in the darkness that surrounded her and she pressed her body as far as she could into the wall. "Well Miko Your finally awake." It was a an unfamiliar force. She looked around and she saw two blue glowing eyes staring at her. Suddenly a fire formed in a small pile of straw and she saw a woman chained with stronger binds then herself, she had a demon aura around her however it wasn't threatening as she stared at her. "My name is Raelyn and yes I'm a demon." Kagome studied the woman before her and saw she she had black stripes on her pail skin and her hair was pitch black pulled back into a loose pony tail blood covered her cloths. Kagome stared in sadness. "Why are you here?" Raelyn smiled slightly. "I'm a dead race thanks to Naraku I hunted him down to this very area planning on killing him. Instead he took the shards I had and said that all he needed was a mikos shards and he would become a pure demon." Kagome shook her head in fear. "NO." Raelyn tilted her head slightly amused. "Your that Miko." Kagome slumped. She saw Raelyn's ears twitch and anger rose in the air around her as she jumped up. "Don't give it to him Lady Miko." Kagome stared at her. "Naraku..." Raelyn nodded. "Your allies are here. He's rushing this way." Kagome slowly stood the chains heavy and held her down. "What...What should we do?" Raelyn looked at her. "Nothing...but no matter what he says refuse." The doors slammed open and Naraku had a very angry aura and a force sent Raelyn into the wall unconcious and the chains tightened around Kagome's wrist. "RAELYN..." No answer came as Naraku dragged Kagome threw the hallway to the exit.

Inuyasha, Miroku, Shippou, Sango, Koga, and Sesshoumaru along with others who they've befriended in their journey stared up at the roof where Naraku held Kagome. They where talking which was unheard cause suddenly monsters attacked them.

"Give me the shards miko and your friends will be saved." Kagome struggled. "NO." She struggled in his hold, tears ran down her cheek. "Who should I kill first, Miko?" Kagome trembled. "Please...I can't..." Naraku growled and suddenly Miroku screamed grabbing his beaded hand. "MIROKU..." Sango ran and Kagome shook. Raelyn's words echoed and she trembled even more. "Alright but please cure Miroku of the tunnel and let all them live even Sango's brother, have him free of the memories and your evil use." Naraku smirked and dropped her she rolled down the roof but landed on her feet. Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru ran to catch her but saw she caught herself. Both saw her pull a small bottle open and moved faster. Miroku fell unconcious the beads around his wrist broke. Kohaku ran out to his sister and both hugged. Kagome saw this and looked at Naraku who stared at her annoyed, a soft aura glowed around her, she closed her eyes for a moment and whispered. "In the name of Midoriko, please protect them and place them in the land safe from Naraku's reach." All disappeared but Naraku payed no attention nor care for them. She held out the shards and Naraku grabbed them laughing the jewel finally completed, and she suddenly found herself standing in the well house. However it had no roof and she stepped out and fire and ruins where all around her. "NOOOooo"

End of Flashback

Kagome didn't know the land she walked any more the oceans where dried and demons that surved loyaly to Naraku wondered all the land. All the lands where ruled with power and human villages where of course all around but few humans where allowed in each village. To Naraku, Kagome was dead. But when Kagome arrived she found new memories replacing the old ones except for how this land became to be...she blamed herself and prayed her prayer came true and her friends lived happily in a safer world. Night was falling as she saw the starless sky cross above. She took off running not far off was ruins and she entered the building as demons of the night took the places of those who wondered in the day. She looked around and knew she would be in danger if she didn't block the windows and door way. Finding boards she slammed them into the windows and with unnatural strength she tapped into her Mikos power and pushed a broken rock into the doorway and large curved nails sliced at her threw the entrance but the reach was stopped by the rock. The demon wasn't exactly a demon anymore for it didn't have the mind like Sesshoumaru and/or Koga had for it had no mind except to kill. She heard similar creatures around. "I must be in the Hyena Demon's Land."

She pulled her sword out ready. Cackles and horrible laughter came from outside. Suddenly pounding at her feet made her jump and move into a defensive postion ready for an attack. "HEY!!" A young boy came out with dusty hair and looked around glaring at her. "Whats the big idea woman?" He had shaggy reddish orange hair pulled back into a pony tail, he had soft green eyes though angry. It was 10 yrs ago, though she had aged unnaturally slower then the other humans. She knew a kitsune anywhere. But she rememebered it was 5 hundred years ago when they disappeared from her life. "Well you gonna stare..or answer." He was suddenly tackled outside it by a young man in his early 20s and she stared in disbelief. He had white shaggy hair and dog ears instead of human ears, he wore a slightly torn red shirt and blue jeans, but the old sword on his back she'd know anywhere and tears formed for the 1st time in many yrs, but she quickly blinked them away and slowly backed into away trying to hid her face. "DAMN IT INUYASHA." The name didn't faise her for she was prepared she watched in silence. "If Kagome saw how you treated people today she'd be shocked Shippou." Shippou started crying at the name of Kagome, but Inuyasha sighed and stood up looked at Kagome. "I'm sorry Miss." Kagome shrugged slightly. The years of dirt and travel had hidden her well as well as her scent. "Its alright...these days its understandable." Inuyasha gave her a smile and nodded. "Well come on lets get underground before those morons outside get in." Shippou entered first and Kagome followed without hesitating. The tunnels went for miles around in each direction. "Welcome to the Rebellion against Naraku." Kagome stared emotionless around and followed after them in silence. No one talked, but every so often Kagome caught Shippou staring at her and quickly look away.
