Never Forget The Past by LadyTigresa

Chapter 1

"Kagome look out behind you!"

Kagome moves to the side and cuts the head off a snake demon that tries to sneak up in her. She jumps into the air as eagle demon flies toward her, talons ready to tear. She lands on its back and transfers her miko powers to the sword. She stabs it in the back, ladning with ease as it turns to dust. She turns to look at her partner as he finishes off the last demons. Her dark brown eyes flicker with humor when he finishes the last one off, his body covered completely in blood.

"You look great Damion, I'm sure the girls would love the knew look."

Damion walks over to her, sheathing his sword. He wipes the blood off his face muttering, "You don't look good yourself Kag, and you stink like dogs shit."

Kagome raised one eyebrow. "Is that so?"

"Yea that is so. Don't give me that look, you really do stink like shit. My nose is practically screaming for mercy. As soon as we get back home take a shower."

"Whatever wolf."

Damion ignores her werewolf comment and gets in the black viper. He is a man that every woman would die for. His chestnut curly hair stopped at his shoulders and he had piercing green eyes that would make any person melt with desire. He was 5'9 and stands with arrogance. He was very lean but anyone could see his muscled frame easily. His skin was a tanned color and he had a tooth earring in his right ear. His is wearing his trademark black leather pants and red muscle shirt. To top it off, he was a 200 yr. old werewolf.

"Watch it Kag, I might go all werewolf on your ass, you wouldn't want that now do you?"

Kagome sighs. They have been slaying many uncontrolable demons for months now. They normally didn't have to slay many, only ones that would attack people for hunger or for sport, but these past months something strange has been going on. Some have been after the Shikon Jewel, but that was normal. As she gets into the car, she wonders once again why her life turned out for the worse. Ever since she left home three years ago, she would wonder about what her life would have been if she were still in the past. She was happy then, she had some one that loved her and wanted her to be his mate after the battle was over. She had an adopted son that would always cheer her up when a certain some one would get on her nerves. Kagome sighs dejectedly, hoping that they were all happy without her.

"Kagome? Are you okay?"

Kagome looks the concerned werewolf and nods. "Yea I'm fine, just thinking about the past.. again."

Damion looks at her sympathetically. "You still miss them don't you?"

"Of course. But what happened, happened I cannot do anything about it." She feels a buzzing on her hip and looks at her beeper. Kagome growls and slams the door. "We have to go see the boss. He wants us to his office immediately. I wonder what he wants? We didn't do anything wrong yet, so he can't be mad."

Damion chuckles. "Yea after that night when we decided to go for a drink after that strong demon. But how were we supposed to know he was calling us? Our beepers were off."

"We are never supposed to shut them off."

"So? We do need time off this damn job."

"He doesn't care. We are the 'Guardians' remember? It's our duty to protect these damn people, even if they don't bloody know about it. We can never get time off."

"Its not that bad. We still get paid and get nice stuff like this sweet car."

"Still. I am already the damn protector of this jewel." She takes off the necklace and looks into the pink orb, seeing her image inside staring back at her with haunted eyes. "This shows you the Kami has a wicked sense of humor."

"Ahh poor Kagome...should I rub your back to make you feel better?"

"Screw you."

"Anytime any place, just say the word and I'll give you the time of your life."

Kagome rolls her eyes at his behavior. She watches as the buildings go by with a saddened look. She remembered the fight with Naraku as if it just happened yesterday.

~Flashback~

There were bodies of humans and demon together lying on the battleground. Both were on the good and bad side, each fighting for their own beliefs. Sango was on top of Kirara in the air, fighting all the flying demons. Miroku couldn't use his wind tunnel since the wasps were waiting for him. Inu Yasha, Kouga, and Sesshouramu were trying to get past Naraku's puppets, to get to Naraku himself, who had Kagura helping him and any way possible. Shippo was out back at Kaede's hut, there was no place for him in the battle. Kagme was amidst the trees, shooting her arrows left and right. She was terrified; she didn't know which side was winning. She knew she had to do more than just stay in the safety of the trees. She didn't hear as a figure stalked her and grabbed her from behind. She tried to scream but found that the person, or demon, had his hand covering her mouth. She felt him grab the jewel from her neck and tried struggling even more. The figure floated above the trees and laughed evilly.

"Looks like I now have the miko and the rest of the jewel. "

Inu Yasha looks up and sees Naraku with Kagome in his arms. "No! Don't you dare and hurt her you bastard!" He runs as fast as he could toward them, ignoring everything else. He doesn't see as Kagura moves toward him, but she screams in agony as Sesshouramu cuts her in half from behind.

Kagome watches them fight and knows its useless. She starts crying, knowing that they have lost. She feels Naraku move one of his hands toward her breast and hears him whisper in her ear. "Now that I have you, I will be having some fun. But firsts things first, the jewel."

Kagome stops crying and screams in anger. She had enough of this! Her body starts glowing and she feels his hold on her lessen. She pushes away from him, floating in the air. She turns to look at him says "If you think I'm am gonna let you win your wrong Naraku!" Her hands glows as pink energy balls form in them. She points her hands toward his chest and lets them go. He screams in agony as the purifying energy goes through him. Everyone stops to watch, as he becomes dust. Kagome lands gently and picks up the completed jewel form the ground. She hears as the others come running toward her, but ignores them. She must purify the jewel before anything else. She glows once more and watches as they jewel goes from dark purple to pink.

She turns around and faces her friends, grinning. "It's finally over guys. We won." She walks toward them but stops as she feels a strange sensation come over her. She looks at her hands and sees them fading. 'No! I can't leave! I promised him... She could see the shock and sadness in his golden eyes. She sees a light surround her and before she leaves says to everyone "I'm sorry!"

~ End Flashback ~

Kagome snaps out of her trance and sees Damion's hand waving frantically infront of her eyes. "Kagome what's up with you? You haven't acted like this before in a while. Are you sure you're okay? Do you want to go straight home and let me deal with the guy?"

Kagome grabs his hand lets a bit of miko energy pass through. She hears him yelps. "What is your fucking problem? I am just helping you, you don't need to get all prissy about it."

"Well I have a lot on my mind so can you please shut up!" She gets out of the car and slams the door, a bit too hard since she hears the scrunching noise. Damion starts cursing as she walks off. He just fixed the damn thing. He looks at her retreating back and sighs. 'Looks like she had another visit down memory lane'
