Last time on These Days of Our Lies---- I mean Tomorrow is Another Day -

“What are you talking about? I would never hurt Tenchi.” Kagome pleaded with the woman trying to keep some distance. Unfortunately the woman was not giving her any space.

“Liar, you will die!” Kagome shielded herself the best she could with her bare arms as the woman slashed down.

“Kagome!!!” Inuyasha was running towards her but couldn't get to her in time. Kagome closed her eyes... Please let it be fast.

Chapter 10 – Run Run Fun.

The forest was still. Eerily still and as those who have lived in or near a mountain forest will tell you, a silent forest is one you have to watch out for.

However this stillness did not last. Something was moving in the early mountain night. It raced through the forest, shades of gray blurring as four fleet feet beat across the forest floor.

Ryo-Oki ran.

She was a gray lightning bolt dodging through the dimly lit trees. It was not far to the house as the cabbit runs. She didn't have follow the long and wandering mountain road and very soon the house lights were in view. As she reached the door and fazed through it she let out the loudest distress call she could and ran to where she could smell Tenchi.

Today she was going to get her answers. Washu grinned. Months ago she had detected an energy signal in Tokyo captured her attention.

Energy signals originating from "holy" objects that were in the care taking of shrines was not uncommon. Many of these objects were of off world origin, common items abandoned by visitors to the planet long ago. There were necklaces, hairpins, shrouds, masks, and even some battered swords had been left behind, a testament to a time when tourists had been allowed on Earth.

Now what captivated her was that, unlike many of the so called "holy relics", this object held REAL power. A power that was very reminiscent of the impossible. This was not some shabby tourist toss off left on a backwater planet to be worshiped by ignorant locals. Just What it was had alluded her, making it an even better candidate for the scientist's obsession.

Another thing that held her attention about it was that unlike pretty much every other shrine treasure this one did not stay in one exact location with a constant signal. It moved around. Quiet often it had even disappeared altogether for days. Times when it did so defied all her ability to detect it and being the Universe's Greatest Scientist she longed to discover the truth behind it.

But today she was going to get her answers! She had worked so hard to get information on that shrine. She had discovered that like many shrines it had been passed down a long line of caretakers, and housed many potentially powerful items. However she had been very surprised earlier when Yosho had revealed he knew exactly who owned that object, and they were his family members.

He had been watching that signal with her and neglected to mention it. It did make some sense though. Who better to own a truly powerful object than a niece of the crown prince of Jurai. It could be perhaps even something HE gave her. She was a little miffed thinking that if that were the case the sneaky prince could have told her what that object was months ago. But, she mused, she'd have to forgive him even if that was true since he had invited them here for her to get a good look at and they had, in fact, brought whatever was the source of the disturbing signal with them.

And there was still the tricky part. She would have to find some way to relieve them of it without upsetting them too much. While Yosho might believe it was safe to leave it with them, it was obviously, just by the amount of power, a very dangerous item.

She was in the middle of this wheel of thought when she noticed that Ryo-Oki had moved out to cross paths with the incoming signal. Washu frowned. That's not right... We decided to try and pull off a normal dinner, and, in her plan, to include object extraction, for as long as possible. They can't see her yet.

She was about to get up and try to catch the cabbit when she saw Ryoko's energy signal move to follow. Good girl Ryoko. Ryoko's dot quickly closed on Ryo-Oki's signal which then headed back towards the house.

Ryoko though it appeared was going to stay and lead them in. It seemed alright till she remembered that the family was coming in by car and the signals were currently moving through the heavily wooded side of the forest.

Then she noticed Ryoko's energy signal had powered up. She was in battle mode.

"What on Earth?!"

She jumped off her floating cushion to lean into the display hoping for an answer.

Then even though the wall and the dimensional barrier connected her door she heard the emotion filled cry.

Ryo-Oki was back. Something was clearly wrong and she had a small idea what. Her screen blinked into nothing as she ran out at full speed.

He was helping Ayeka set the expanded table in the dining room. They had found the insert after a long hunt in an outbuilding his grandfather used for storage. With it they would be able to seat all of the eleven people who were eating tonight. They had even managed to find an extra set of dishes which made Sasami happy.

Tenchi had put his father's words out of his mind while he was busy digging through the boxes of old shrine cleaning tools, Christmas decorations, and toys from when he used to visit this place as a small child. They did not come back to him as the busy house was rocked by a cabbit in full volume.

"MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOOW! MEEEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOOW!"

Quickly he set down the rest of the dishes and walked in the direction of the calls. Ayeka followed suit but the originator found them first and jumped at Tenchi. He easily caught her but she continued to let out loud cries.

"MEEEOOOOW! MEEEEOOOOOOW! MEEEOOOOOW!"

"Ryo-Oki?! What's wrong? Are you hurt?" Tenchi asked as her looked her over. She was covered in dirt, and bits of leaves and small sticks had tangled in the long fur around her ears and tail. There was no blood that he could see but she was obviously upset and trying to tell him something.

"MEEEOOOOW! MEEOOOW! MEEOOOW!"

"What's wrong with her Lord Tenchi?"

"I don't know. We better go get Washu."

"MEEEEOOOOOW!" Ryo-Oki hopped down and ran for the door to the lab only to have it open on it's own and the pink haired scientist rush out.

"Washu!" Tenchi had followed the cabbit to the door beneath the stairs.

"We gotta move it Tenchi! Ryoko's intercepted your family and gone into battle mode." She picks up her distraught cabbit who continues to cry as Washu, Tenchi and Ayeka charge out the door.

"What?! Why?" They ran down a slightly beat path following Washu in a mad dash through the woods.

"I dunno. She's completely closed the mind link I usually have with her."

"Lord Tenchi. She has been acting strange since this afternoon." Suddenly Tenchi remembered what his father had said.

"What kind of strange?"

"I'm not really sure, she mumbled something about someone coming to take you away but I couldn't understand it."

"Dad said she was out of it... Damn! I hope Kagome and my aunt are okay..."

There was an explosion ahead and they stopped talking to run faster. They ran through the forest and quickly approached the edge where it would meet the road. Suddenly they heard someone scream.

"Kagome!"

And through the remaining trees there was a bright light suddenly ahead.

"Kagome!" Tenchi covered the remaining yards easily. Please be okay!

She expected to feel pain. The odd woman's sword had sent sparks down the Tessaiga so she reasoned that it should feel like a hot slash cleaving through her. Instead she had a rising feeling of hot pins and needles that started in her abdomen and quickly expanded to engulf her whole body. This feeling, strange as it was, did not hurt.

She expected to hear Inuyasha screaming her name and to hear her own screams of pain. Maybe to hear the woman taunting her as her life faded. Instead she heard the vast roaring of her blood pounding, her heartbeat like a shotgun punctuating the deafening crash ringing in her ears.

She expected to see a white light, the mysterious tunnel to the afterlife. She knew it was not in Shinto to believe that she would go to heaven, that she would see her father or her aunt again. She still wanted to believe in the idea she gleaned from western media though and so she wasn't surprised.

She did see a light.

But...

...it was a pink light.

I must still have my eyes closed. With all the effort she could she willed her eyes to open and immediately had to close them again. Taking time to try and let her eyes adjust to the blinding light on the other side of her eye lids, she slowly cracked one eye then the other.

The light was indeed pink and very bright. At first it enveloped everything. The world was nothing but pink. But soon shadows appeared against the pink. First to come into view were her arms, still crossed and held to block the incoming blow from the woman's sword. Then clearing came into view but it was stained pink. The woman's sword, seemed to be locked against the pink light that Kagome now recognized as her priestess powers. A barrier? But I never was able to do that before...Kaede tried so hard to teach me. Never-the-less the woman seemed to be struggling against an enormous pressure as pink sparks met red sparks across Kagome's barrier.

Kagome, not quite sure how she had brought it about, was wary of moving. What if she canceled it out by accident. She was also unsure of how long the barrier would last. Hopefully long enough for Inuyasha to come and help her. Then she remembered...Wait. Inuyasha can't get near my powers! I might purify him without meaning to! Hastily she looked around expecting to see him still rushing towards her, but found him lying still some distance across the clearing. Inuyasha! No!

Suddenly the barrier very rapidly expanded outwards before evaporating. The woman was thrown off and across the clearing. Kagome saw through her rapidly falling eyelids that she was caught by another person.

Her knees buckled and she prepared the be acquainted with the torn up ground. For the second time that day she was surprised when it didn't hurt like it should. Vaguely she thought she heard her name being called. Desperately she opened her eyes to find a pair of very familiar brown ones staring back at her. Before she could remember who they belonged to the world went dark and she felt everything else fall away in blankness.

* * *

As Tenchi rushed past the last tree the light in the clearing exploded again. Before he was completely blinded he was able to see his cousin consumed in the middle of it and Ryoko being blown their way. He felt someone move past him and he assumed either Ayeka or Washu had moved to catch her. He would have done it himself but his whole attention was on Kagome, considering that bright light was just about ALL he could see.

In an instant the intense light faded and though mostly blinded he was able to make out Kagome's sinking form and he rushed over to catch her.

"Kagome!" She open her eyes but then they closed again as all the strength in her body seemed to leave and she slumped limply in his arms.

"Kagome!"
