Kagome and her group had just fought Naraku and everyone was injured, Sesshomaru had been injured with a poisonous gash on his side, Kagome had a gash to her stomach that was healing very slowly, Inuyasha had a gash in his chest, Kikyo had died, along with Sango, Miroku, Shippo, and Kirara. Sesshomaru had loaded everyone onto Ah-Un and grabbed up Kagome and carried her in his arms and they both flew to Kaede's village.

"Old woman," Sesshomaru trying to stoically walk to Kaede's hut, she had sensed his aura and came running out, along with his little human ward, Kaede's mouth dropped open when she saw the mess,

"Bring them in, hurry now," Kaede quickly moving back inside and conjuring up some medicine for those that had survived. Sesshomaru gently laid the miko down next to the fire, he brought in Inuyasha and he was complaining about how his half brother had took it upon himself to carry him in.

"I'm fine, I can walk," Inuyasha grumbled as he was dropped to the floor, Kaede shook her head,

"Inuyasha, ye should be grateful that Lord Sesshomaru has offered to bring ye back, he could have left ye there," Kaede a bit testy. Sesshomaru started to walk out,

"Lord Sesshomaru, are ye not hurt also?" Kaede confused,

"This Sesshomaru does not require your medicines old woman," Sesshomaru growled, suddenly he took another step and was sent to his knees,

"No?" Kaede raising her brow up, she moved him to the side of Kagome.

"Lord Sesshomaru, please, let Lady Kaede help you with the healing," Rin begging at his side,

"Of course Rin," Sesshomaru closing his eyes and blacking out. Kaede fixed their wounds and applied her poison medicine that would suck the poison out of their bodies more or less. Kaede let them rest and brought the bodies of the unfortunate ones into the hut, she knew when Kagome was better she would wish for things to return as they once were, meaning when Kagome made her wish her friends would not be dead anymore. While everyone slept, Kagome and Sesshomaru were having a weird dream, she stood there in front of him, confused like crazy and then thought about what had happened.

"Oh, no, this…this can't happen to me, I can't be dead, are we dead, Lord Sesshomaru?" Kagome freaking out, he just huffed,

"This Sesshomaru does not die so quick and easy," Sesshomaru stoically,

"Then where are we, what are we doing here, where is here?" Kagome looking around, she could see someone coming closer to them,

"There is someone coming," Kagome pointing. Sesshomaru turned around, the person that was coming toward them split into two people,

"Father," Sesshomaru growled,

"Son," the Great Dog Demon standing just as stoically as his son,

"Hi Kagome, I am Izayoi," she introduced herself to Kagome, Kagome started backing up,

"You're dead, you are both dead, oh, why me, I am supposed to be able to have a long life ahead of me," Kagome almost crying.

"Calm yourself miko," Sesshomaru growled, she was about to open her mouth and give him a tongue lashing but Izayoi started.

"There is a reason you are both here, yes, you both are on the doorstep of death, but there may be a way to save you both, but you will both be a lot closer than you are now, and only you both with know how to break this spell, in due time, dear Sesshomaru, you will know the meaning of what a human life feels like, and Kagome, you will know the meaning of what a powerful demon will feel like, keep in mind Sesshomaru, a human life will not last forever nor will the body, you will have to be careful or you will kill Kagome, and the same goes for you Kagome, though you are powerful you do not know how to use the power you will have, its best that Sesshomaru teach you of the powers, Kagome, thank you for believing my sons, they needed someone like you in their lives," Izayoi hugging Kagome, she hugged Izayoi back.

"I will tell Inuyasha that you said hi," Kagome smiling and almost crying because Inuyasha's mother was so pretty and it felt like her heart was breaking without being able to be near her youngest,

"I will take care of them, both of them," Kagome glancing up at Sesshomaru.

~Hn, a human miko take care of this Sesshomaru, not if I have a say in it.~ Sesshomaru growled,

"Sesshomaru, do you not have anyone to protect?" his father stoically asked,

"This Sesshomaru does not Father," Sesshomaru huffed.

"Things will change my son, you shall have someone to protect or you shall meet your fate," his father staring down at Kagome, he glanced back up to his son, and what happened next scared the shit out of Sesshomaru and the miko, his father had smiled really big, and Sesshomaru could have sworn that his father was laughing as he turned to Izayoi and started walking away with her by his side.

"Sesshomaru, what is your father up to? I'm definitely scared now," Kagome clinging to his single arm, he jerked away,

"That is Lord Sesshomaru to you," Sesshomaru trying to growl at her but it came out all weak.

"What the hell did you do Father?" Sesshomaru harshly, Kagome noticed that he didn't sound so deadly anymore,

"Oh to the gods, your father is messing with us, he is going to make our lives a living hell," Kagome's voice full of ice and death, Kagome grabbed her throat and put her hand over her mouth, Sesshomaru turned around, he narrowed his eyes at the human.

"Lord Sesshomaru, what the hell had your father done to us?" Kagome steaming and sounding ready to rip off someone's head,

"Calm yourself miko, we will settle this," Sesshomaru as strong as he could. When they disappeared, Kagome and Sesshomaru started to wake up, Kagome turned her head to look at Sesshomaru as Sesshomaru did the same, she screamed or tried to, it was a nice rumbling growl that had came from the depths of her sternum. Sesshomaru huffed, but it came out as a girly disappointed and tired sigh.
