…………..

Chapter 2:

What exactly happened to my friends?

……………

They went toward Kaede's hut and entered. Kirara hopped quietly behind them and when everyone was sat, she jumped on Kagome's legs and curled happily against them.

It was at this moment that Shippo and Kaede noticed the presence of the neko youkai. They exchanged astonished glances before Shippo cried on top of his lungs.

"Kirara, you're back!"

"Back?! What do you mean Shippo?" asked Kagome, puzzled.

"It's because we haven't seen her since... "

There he stopped speaking for some seconds and after looking at Kaede, he added. "Since what happened just after you went back to your home" he said, lowering his sad eyes.

"Ah, ... I see."

She looked at Kirara who raised her head at the same time. She smiled at her tenderly and petted her but stopped, like if trying to order back her thoughts.

"How did you know I'd come back today? Why did you wait at the well? You had some visitors too, Kirara?"

The little youkai leaned the head on a side and mewed.

"Kagome, why did you say 'Ah, i see' , like you knew that they ..."

"I know what happened. Or more precisely I know when that happened, and that they are... but I don't know how, just one week after I back home..."

"How do you know, Child?" asked the old miko, her curiosity picked.

"One week after I came back to my time, I had a dream, the first one..."

"A dream??"

She nodded. Kaede stayed without saying a word for a moment, thinking of what Kagome just telled to them, and decided, she wanted to know more.

"What happened in your dream and why did you say 'the first', child?"

"Well, one week after I was back home... Inu Yasha came to me. He came to speak to me, when I sleep in my dreams. He said that even now he was still with me and that he was there to announce to me that something bad... that something happened to Sango and Miroku, that they are... gone (she paused a few seconds while some tears run on her cheeks that she couldn’t stop to fall) But he didn't say how... just that it happened during their travel to return to the slayers' village to bury Kohaku-kun with the rest of their clan. I didn't want to believe it...it was impossible..."

Slowly, Shippo came close to her and put a paw on one of her legs to try to comfort her a little and to support her. He knew, like Kaede and Kirara, that they were important to her, to all of them. Sango was more than just a friend. She was like part of her family... They all became a sort of a strange family during their search for Naraku and for Kagome, Sango was like a sister and it was the same for the slayer... And when their hunt for the jewel and the evil hanyou end, their family had been destroyed by tragedies. Half of their weird group is dead now...

Kagome brushed her tears away, and she began to continue her tale again.

"But... but he came some others times... I don't know how to explain it, but I knew it wasn't just a dream... My mother said this morning that when I had that dream and the others after too, I spoke during my sleep, something I never did in my life before, and especially when she said that she can see my aura light up around me. My grand-father said that some mikos could have premonitory dreams, but it is not the same here in my case, not really so... how can this possible Kaede-sama?"

"Your grand-father was right on some points, child, some mikos had this power, but it is extremely rare and only the most powerful mikos had experience this as a one time event..."

"But Kagome said it wasn't the only once so that means InuYasha returned to speak to you after?" asked the little kitsune, confused.

She nodded.

"In fact, each time I was a little bad, Inu Yasha came the night when I slept, and we spoke... we spoke a lot and seriously, and he did tell me of some parts of his life before everything started, before the Shikon, Onigumo and Naraku,... But yesterday night, he said that, maybe, it was the last time he could came to me... that I have to live my life and don't stay blocked because of him,” she lets out a little laugh, “he almost pushes me in the arms of another man. Which is really weird if you remember how he acted every time someone of the opposite sex come too close to me ... But he especially made me promise some things and one of them was to come back here because that you need me, Shippo... that you are in danger."

"Me?" asked Shippo in a squeal, suddenly frightened by the news.

"Do you know what he means?" asked Kaede, an unsettling feeling rising in her guts.

The scene took place in a clearing. A very little clearing, close to a river. Near it, a lot of flowers in all colors possible in the Universe and with butterflies everywhere flying around two people lengthened at the root of a tree, on the arms of each other. All in all, a really paradisiacal scenery.

"Kagome, I have something important to say to you." Said one of them, really seriously.

The young woman raised her head to look the man in the eyes. The "man" had a red haori, long silver hair, golden eyes and fuzzy little ears on the top of his head which moved and twitched delicately like to hear everything around in case of danger, even now, when there wasn't any harm which can come to them where they were. His gaze on the woman in his arms was the most longing possible in the world. He never looked at her like that when he was alive or really rarely and most of the time when she wasn't looking at him and anyone either. But now, the world was very different for them. Their little moments of tenderness during Kagome's sleep were all they will ever have, and that too had to change... The two of them knew that. She was alive, he was not, and living in the past was not a good thing. He had learnt that during his life. Today was the day he will say to her that it may be the last time that they will see each other but there was something more important than the two of them...

Kagome could swim and lose herself in his eyes. Such beautiful and warm golden-amber eyes. One glance of him and she was feeling all warm inside but today, she can see something disturbing : he was serious and looked...sad. She knew she will not like what he has to say...

Seeing she was listening him, he started by the most important thing to say and, for him, the most simple... After, he will have to say goodbye to her ...

"Kagome, the blood of the youkai is in danger."

"What do you mean in danger, InuYasha?"

"Feh. I don't know how to explain that and don't have time to try, the only thing you have to know is that a lot of youkai have died and a lot of them will die until someone does something. But there are a lot of humans who've died too because of some afraid and angry youkai,” he sighed. “You have to go back."

"But..." she said as she sat up.

"No buts wench. " He sighed. " For once, listen to me Kagome. You have to go back to the past before it is too late. A lot of low youkai disappeared recently and some a little higher too. They've become more and more nervous and some attack villages to seek vengeance. For now, I don't know what cause their death or vanishing, but I think you are the one who can help them. And you have to understand,... the runt is in danger too..."

"Shippo?"

"Yes, Shippo. You have to do something, wench, before it's too late..."

Kaede listened attentively the story of Kagome

"That's all he said, Kagome?"

"Yes, Kaede-sama. He disappear before I could ask him more explainations. Do you know something about that?"

"Not more than you already know, Child. Just that the population of low youkai started to decrease around one year ago, after your victory against the evil hanyou who was Onigumo."

"Ok. Maybe this new enemy profited off the disappearing of Naraku to gain strength and start to attack or may be he was already there but because of the disasters caused by Naraku we wasn't able to locate him or them."

Kaede nodded. "Yes, I agree with you, Child."

After a moment, Kagome decided to ask the question which was burning her lips, since she came back to this time... A question she asked herself for a long time now.

"Can I ... Can I know ... what really happened to Sango and Miroku ?"

Kaede took a shaky deep breath before starting. Even for her, it was difficult but Kagome had the right to know the truth of the fate of her past friends.

"Like you know, it's happened during the travel back to the slayers' village. It appeared that they had been followed almost to the village. They had been attack by three bear youkai by surprise. Maybe they were plunged too much in their memories of what arrived the previous week or the youkai masked their odor since it seems neither Shippo or Kirara felt their presence either."

"Yes, we didn't feel anything until it was too late..."

"Kirara was hurt and knocked out when she tried to defend Sango. Miroku-sama (without the kasaana since Naraku was dead... for once his curse would have been a benefit, strange isn't it? But not for the first time in fact if you remember how many that thing saved everyone) hid Shippo who was a little hurt as well in close bushes and defended their life. Sango succeeded to kill one of them but another arrived behind her and hurt her...mortally. Miroku-sama continued to fight and finished, in spite of his wounds, by killing the others two..."

"To protect me...and after that... He walked over to Sango and collapsed by her. I was so afraid...When everything finished, I ran to Kirara and we went to see them... but some minutes after the attack Miroku died too... we couldn't do anything..." Sobbed the kitsune, his little body trembling.

"They, as far they could, trailed the bodies to the village then they came here to warn me. Some men from the village went there to bury them as it should be." Concluded tirely the old Miko.

"When we came back here Kirara disappeared without any notice...until today.” Shippo jumped in her arms “I'm so sorry Kagome, I couldn't do anything to help them... I..."

"I know Shippo-chan, but it's not your fault, ok?" tightening her hug the most possible without hurting him.

Shippo nodded against her chest. Kagome held him very close to her and cried like that for a moment. After calming down, she asked Shippo to go to seek some food with Kirara for them, since she had to speak with Kaede. He accepted and left the two women alone in the hut.

Kagome explained to Kaede that she promised three things to InuYasha during their last meeting and that to realize one of them, she needed her help. She needed some training for the last wish of InuYasha. Kaede informed her that she was not sure she was enough powerful to be able to help her but may be she could do something for the basics.

.

.

The training lasted until the day indicated by InuYasha, like the day of the departure for their new search.

During this ten days, Shippo didn't quite stray away Kagome from eye contact, and it was the same for Kirara. The little neko seemed to have become overprotective to the young woman. Kagome was like a sister for her previous mistress and that meant that now, Kagome was her new one... and she will not let something like what happened previously happen again...From the Inu's gang, there was only three members left and neither of them want to reduce more the group...
