Authors Note:
Sorry for taking so long. I'm having huge writers block, majority of my classes this year involve writing papers, so I've been writing those instead. I also have an amazing girlfriend that distracts me very easily it seems. (wink wink) Anyways, I'm going to write a sequel because A. My girlfriend would kill me if I didn't or she would die, B. I've been getting many requests, and C. It was my intention anyways just no ideas for it. Thank you to all those who have stayed loyal, it sure means a lot to me. Now, if you have any ideas, just throw them out there, and I will try to put them in the story if I like it and if it fits. If I like it but it don't fit, no worries I'm going at tweaking. Now..on with the story I hope.
Last time, previous story:
Eyes opening slowly, hand clenching Sango's tightly, Kagome scanned the white expanse before them looking for any clues to where they were. A moan at her side drew her attention back to her new mate. "Sango are you ok?"
"Just great. I love blacking out."
"Don't be a smart ass now. We're somewhere, but I don't know where."
"Your in Limbo. A place between the living and the dead. Its a neutral place. Kami allowed me to bring you here so I can speak with you." A voice said, echoing around them.
"Where are you then? Come out and speak to us!" Sango shouted, a snarl ripping from her lips as she felt her tail dip between her legs, ready for a fight.
"I'm right behind you."
The two girls whipped around, and Kagome visibly relaxed. "Hello Grandmother Midoriko." Looking at the familiar woman before her, she couldn't help but smile.
Sango looked at her mate with a confused look. "Whats going on Kagome? How do you know this woman?"
"When I was little and Mother was teaching me about my powers, she came before me and explained exactly what was going on. What has brought you here today?"
"A darkness is beginning to cover this earth Kagome. What I told you when you were younger is starting to come to pass. Your need to leave this castle now with your mate and begin to rally your troops. Hanyou, Human, and Demon must all come together for the goodness of all mankind. Your final wish is what'll bring this to task, but only you have this ability." Her gaze turned to Sango. "You young one, need to keep her on the correct path, and to keep others from decieving her. Our planets fate is all up to you too. Your parents have known this fate from the beginning, but I had blocked it from them. They are only now getting those memories back. Any allies they have made will rally to you, but you must make more."
"How do we do that though? How will we know when we find an ally?" Kagome asked as she gazed at her grandmother.
"You will know instantly in your hearts. You are both connected now completely. Mentally, spiritually, and physically. Your hearts have been connected since you were born." reaching forward, she gently pressed a finger against each of their markings on their forehead. A bright flash of pink blinded them for a moment. "Your lands are now one, as are you. My gift will not reveal itself until the final battle. Good luck my children."
"Thank you Midoriko. We will do as you say, and we shall free you from the jewel."
"Thank you my dears." With that the world slowly began to fade back into the darkness. But slowly voices began to invade it, causing them to wake once more.
"Kagome, Sango please wake up. Please. This is supposed to be a joyous day. Are they ill? Hurt?"
"Kinoda calm down. Our pups are fine. See. They are waking up right now."
"Your voices are really loud." Kagome muttered as she turned on her side and buried her head into Sango's neck, and let out a rumble of pleasure when she felt her lovers hand caress her back.
"Sorry pup. What happened though? You two just collapses and began muttering in your sleep." Sheziro stated as she watched the two cuddle on the altar. The guests had all been told to go to the dining room and to begin to enjoy the festivities while they woke the couple up.
"Midoriko spoke to us. We'll be leaving soon Mother. We have been set a task by the Gods and she said that you knew about it."
A quiet sigh escaped both sets of parents as they cast their gazes away in shame. "We did know, but forgot until now. Like someone had locked the memory away. Very well..but..you will be forced to finish out this party, and consummate the marriage tonight." Sheziro said, pointing accusingly at them.
"Yes mother." came their two voices together. Even though this night was theirs, their minds were not on it, but their up and coming task.
Now: Preview of the sequel.
Cuddled beneath the blankets of their bed, the young couple held one another, flesh against flesh. Though they did not move from their warm spots, their eyes were open and staring out the window that faced the west.
"Where shall we go first my love?" came the whispered voice as they both shifted.
"Let's head toward the West." The second voice said before they turned to look into their lovers eyes. "Sango, are you sure we can do this?"
"Of course hun. We just gotta find allies right? Well we have our parents, and all of the Southern and Central lands behind us. We also have Lord and Lady of the West, though we have to convince Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha yet. But we can search around their lands for a while. That just leaves the Northern and Eastern territories. I say we avoid the North for a while and head along the western edge, through the central lands and into the east. We'll go into the North if we must."
"Ok. Sango, I love you." Kagome whispered as she leaned in and gave her mate a kiss that seemed to send shivers down her spine. "I don't know if I could survive without you."
"I know my dear Kagome. You are my everything, and I could never hope to find someone as amazing as you. Shall we go eat breakfast now?"
"Sure. We have our journey ahead of us, and it wouldn't do to pass out from lack of energy. Plus I build up a happy appetite after last night." She said as she nibbled on Sango's neck, nipping the mate mark that resided there.
"Your just as bad as Sheziro." Sango stated as she moaned softly.
"Apple doesn't fall far from the tree my love. It just proves I am my mother's daughter." She said as she wrapped her arms around Sango's waist and stroked her tummy gently. "When this is over with…can we have a pup of our own?"
"Of course love. Now lets get dressed and ready to head out."
