A/N: Just an attempt at an YYH x IYH crossover and although I don't know who the originator of this type of idea came from I just wanted to give them credit. The plot is mine but the idea not so much since it's been played a few times. But nonetheless here is my shot at it.
"Hey Kagome-kaasan, I heard a commotion over there by the glacial village where the ice maidens live. I didn't know what was going on so I came to you." Kagome looked down at her adoptive son and nodded her understanding before patting him on the head lovingly.
"Thank you Shippo, let the others know I'm out patrolling the lands." Shippo nodded enthusiastically before running off to fulfill his mother's wish. She watched him disappear before taking a feather out of her hair and jumping up, the feather grew ten times its size as she landed on it softly and flew off. 'I have to remember to thank Kagura for this gift' she thought to herself as a memory of the deceased wind demoness came to mind. The journey took a good ten minutes as Kagome hovered over some trees and jumped down, the feather reverted back to its smaller size as she placed it back behind her ear.
"No! Please elder don't!" Blue eyes darted upward immediately as she scanned the area for any signs of trouble. When none were apparent she watched as the tribe of ice maidens argued amongst one another, apparently distraught about something as one of them tried feverishly to grab a rather large basket from the leader of the tribe.
"You as an ice maiden know the rules and traditional ways that our tribe has kept for centuries yet you disrespect us by fornicating with an outsider. An outsider of fire elements no less! You are a disgrace to this clan, birthing a bastard!" The elder stated in disgust stirring a deep vexation inside the young woman as she continued to observe from her perch. "Mina, as punishment your children are cast into the sea without hope of surviving and you are isolated into a prison made of the toughest ice."
"NO!" The young woman yelled out before lunging forward in a feeble attempt to get the basket.
'Not today!' Kagome thought as she jumped up and allowed the wind to carry her, the elder threw the basket over without remorse for the infants inside just as Kagome called for the earth to create a slide for them. The dirt heeded to her call immediately and formed into a small slide giving Kagome enough room to kick the wind up as she stretched her arms out and caught the basket.
"Kasai!" Kagome whispered softly before cradling the basket close to her chest as the occupants inside began to whimper helplessly. A roar in the distance caused Kagome to panic slightly as she calmed the air to the point that she was floating. "Good boy!" She stated happily as her companion made its way to her, it meowed in response before catching its mistress easily and running off in the direction of their village.
"Shikon priestess! You dare interfere with the affairs of this ice village?" Kagome didn't bother looking back as she beckoned Kasai to fly faster, the demonic feline roared its understanding and kicked up its speed just as sharp blades of ice were thrown at Kagome. She dodged them with ease before calling towards the water and creating a sea wall sturdy enough to keep her separated from the enraged maidens.
"Ah shit what the hell did you do now wench?! Who the fuck did you piss off?" Amber orbs narrowed in frustration as a red-clad hanyou placed a hand on his sword.
"As you can see now's not really the time to explain so move it Inuyasha!" Kagome replied as she flew past him, a few muffled curse words were all she got from the half demon as he turned to follow behind her.
"The barrier you idiot! Put up the damned barrier!" He growled, irritation clear in his voice as he jumped from tree to tree.
"I know that you impatient little whelp!" Kagome growled back as she kept an arm around the basket and turned, with a wave of her hand a pink barrier rose up and spared them from any more attacks. Satisfied with her work she beckoned Kasai to put her down on the forest below as she opened up the basket and moved the blankets inside.
"Oh no…." Inuyasha started slowly as he caught a whiff of the scents, one look down was all it took for the hanyou to back up as he growled and shook his head furiously. "Oh fuck no! Kagome what the hell did you bring back?! We are NOT keeping those two twerps so you can take them back where they came from."
"What's all the commotion here?" Kagome ignored the brash words as she rubbed a finger across the infants face, calculating crimson orbs stared back at her momentarily before turning towards the other occupant of the basket. Kagome turned and sighed happily as another set of crimson orbs stared at her, this time with a little more friendliness as she brushed the infant's hair gently.
"Miroku, Sango, maybe you can talk some sense into her! We are NOT keeping those damn things here." Inuyasha bellowed as he jumped up into a tree and sulked.
"Things?" Sango wondered out loud as she walked towards the preoccupied priestess. Brown eyes widened as she caught the sight of the two infants currently being examined.
"Lady Kagome, are you sure it is wise to bring back these two children?" Miroku questioned as he leaned against a tree and folded his arms over his sleeves.
"Of course." Kagome replied without a second thought as she took out a blanket and settled it on the forest floor, she proceeded to pick both of them up and unravel them from their bindings before smiling softly. "These two precious little ones were about to lose their lives, such a shame to extinguish it without giving them a chance to see the world."
"Where did you find them Kagome?" Sango questioned as she took a seat beside her.
"Shippo informed me of a commotion going on in the glacial village so, naturally, I went to check it out." Kagome stated as she began to play with the two babies. They both seemed to take to her immediately as they gurgled happily at her gentle touch.
"But they're usually such a peaceful group." Sango stated as she looked down and brushed her fingers across Kirara's fur.
"Apparently something happened between one of the ice maiden's breaking tradition so the elder of the tribe decided to make an example out of these two." Kagome explained as she tickled the young boy on the belly. He smiled a toothy grin at her before attempting to suck on her finger. Sango nodded her understanding before scanning the two infants and letting out a gasp.
"Kagome! The boy, he's a fire apparition." Sango stated causing Kagome's attention to turn away from the baby and at her. "The ice maidens don't mate outside their own species, meaning, their mother probably broke tradition and did so. That is why the two children were sent to exile."
"He is probably considered an Imiko, perhaps which is why they were so cruel in their punishment." Miroku added as he glanced up at the foliage above him.
"How cruel, they shun them both all because their mother mated with a fire apparition? The children had nothing to do with it yet they treat them as if they were the cause of it all." Kagome could feel the tears welling up inside as she looked down at the two smiling infants.
"Feh." Inuyasha stated as he jumped down from his perch. "Fine, the brats can stay but don't go and bring any more back with you. Ya got it? We ain't no orphanage."
"Thank you." Kagome replied with a smile as the hanyou stomped away, not bothering to turn back as he waved her off and disappeared.
"That took less work than I had anticipated, what could have made Inuyasha so….gentle?" Sango questioned no one in particular.
"Perhaps the idea of being an outcast has made his heart softer towards the idea." Miroku replied earning a nod of understanding from the demon slayer.
"I see." Kagome stated gently as Shippo bounced up beside her, curiosity gleaming in his emerald orbs as he peered down at the two bundles.
"Kaasan, are they going to stay with us?" He questioned as he sniffed the two.
"Why Shippo, you should know your mother already." Sango teased as she ruffled his hair.
"Yeah, yeah I know." He replied with a grin as he climbed into Kagome's lap. "She's a home for everyone."
Kagome chuckled at her son's words before watching as Sango picked him up and headed back to the village for his lessons. He cried out for help but soon gave up as Sango sent him a death glare, Miroku bowed towards Kagome and followed after the duo leaving the priestess to her thoughts. With a deep sigh she looked back down at the two infants and picked them both up, cradling each in her arms as she left the basket behind. It only served as a harsh memory for the young woman and a symbol of how cruel the demon world could be.
Six months had passed since the twins came into Kagome's life and she couldn't have been any happier. They filled a void within her heart that seemed never ending and brought joy and ease to her everyday life in the village. The burden of carrying the jewel still remained as demons from far and wide came trying to attack her but she fought them off with ease. She silently thanked a certain demon lord for that as she put up clothes on the line and watched her children from the corner of her eye.
"Kagome it's been months and you still haven't figured out a name for either of them?" Sango questioned as she walked up to the busy mother.
"They're just so different Sango, yet the same. I've come up with a few but I don't know if it will suit them, perhaps you can help me?" The older woman nodded immediately towards her friends request as she picked up a basket and held it on her hip.
"He is born of fire, and she is born of ice yet originate from the same place." Sango was thinking out loud, a habit Kagome new all too well as she set her things down inside her hut and walked out. Shippo was busy conjuring tricks and magic for his new siblings which made Kagome's heart melt as she watched the three interact with one another. The kitsune had openly welcomed his new siblings which made the transition that much easier for all four as Kagome tried her best to raise three demon children on her own. He babysat as much as she allowed and adored the two, hovering over them and shielding them from any danger that came. An idea suddenly came to her as she watched her little boy hide behind the shadows of the trees, Shippo scratching his head frantically as he searched for his younger brother. Her dear little girl sat happily at the base of a tree looking up at the sky, completely content with where she was.
"Hiei and…." Kagome thought out loud as she fished her mind for another name.
"Yukina!" Sango almost shouted as she turned towards her companion.
"That's perfect!" They both stated in unison.
"Momma!" Shippo called out as he finally gave up looking. Kagome couldn't help the bright smile that painted its way across her face as she bent down and beckoned her son to her. Shippo happily obliged as he jumped in her arms and looked up.
"Shippo, we have finally decided on names for them." His eyes lit up at the news as he beckoned her to go on. "Your little brother will be named Hiei and your little sister shall be named Yukina."
"Flying shadow?" Shippo thought aloud as he looked around and spotted his younger brother, just as soon as he caught sight of the small boy he disappeared into a dark blur. "Suits him just fine momma."
"Yukina!" Sango called out earning the little girl's attention as her crimson gaze fell on the taijiya.
"Hiei." Kagome called out softly just as a small body collided into her leg. She looked down and smiled as the small babe grabbed on to her hakamas and forced his body upwards. Shippo chuckled and positioned himself on Kagome's shoulder as she bent down and took Hiei into her arms. He cuddled into her warmth immediately clinging on to her haori. Sango carried Yukina towards her mother before handing her over and waving goodbye as they entered the hut.
"I'll come by again tomorrow!" Sango called out earning a nod from Kagome as she settled the children inside. Kasai lay curled up in a corner, his silver trimmings standing out against his midnight black fur as Kagome set the twins down. Shippo yawned slightly and hopped off of his perch before walking towards the feline and curling up beside it, Kasai didn't seem to mind as he let out a yawn and went back to sleep.
"Sango told me that you little ones would grow up much faster than normal humans." She explained as she picked Hiei up by his hands. His eyes looked uncertain as she placed him on his feet, he wobbled a bit at the weight and whimpered slightly only to stop as he looked up at a pair of gentle blue orbs. He calmed down immediately and gripped her hands tighter as Yukina crawled into her lap and watched her brother, clapping happily as he finally stood on his own. Kagome cooed words of praise towards the small boy before coaxing Yukina to do the same, they both successfully learned how to stand that day causing Kagome much more trouble as she watched them begin to reach for stuff they shouldn't be. A few more months passed by melting spring into summer as Kagome taught the twins to walk, Shippo grew a bit in height as he began to beg her to train him. Finally giving in to her sons request she talked Miroku into assisting the young kitsune with his meditative skills, the monk agreed after a quick feel on Kagome's bottom which resulted in a fried head as Hiei growled and sent a fire blast towards the poor monk.
Sango was proud of the young boy and praised him continuously as he punished the poor man every time he touched his beloved mother. Yukina slowly grew into her own powers as she froze Inuyasha here and there for bullying her big brother much to Kagome's amusement. Hiei would jump in and bite the hanyou on the leg from time to time before flying into the air only to be caught by his mother as she pressed her nose to his. Life was going steady for the group and the three children couldn't be any happier under the priestess's care.
"Shippo-chan! Shippo-chan!" A familiar voice called out from outskirts of the village. Shippo turned away from his siblings momentarily as a yellow blur passed by Kagome as she dug up some herbs from her garden and prepared a medical paste.
"Rin-chan!" Shippo greeted immediately as his mouth widened into a smile.
"Hello Shippo-chan!" Rin replied merrily as she placed a crown of flowers on his head. He blushed at the gift and looked up at his mother who was watching with amusement dancing through her azure orbs.
"Kagome-sama!" Rin called out as she turned around and headed for Kagome, the older woman waved her greeting and watched as the young girl ran towards her.
"Hiei! Yukina!" Kagome immediately shouted as the twins ran at top speed to guard their mother. They weren't familiar with this human and didn't know what she was capable of as instincts gave way to rationality. Rin didn't seem to notice the danger she was headed for as she jumped up towards the distraught priestess. Thinking as quickly as she could Kagome pulled the ground up and blocked Hiei's attack before forcing a barrier around Rin as Yukina glared and sent deadly spikes of ice at the intruder.
"Kagome-sama?" Rin questioned in disbelief as she bounced on to her bottom and stared. Kagome threw her an apologetic look before allowing the ground to mold back into its place as she bent down at eye level with the two toddlers.
"She is a friend of mine okay?" Kagome explained softly as she shook her finger no for emphasis. Hiei and Yukina looked at each other for a second before turning back to their mother.
"No using your powers guys, Rin is a friend." Shippo continued to explain just as the demon lord entered the clearing. The scent of Rin's tears hung in the air as golden eyes looked down at his ward currently sitting in a pink bubble.
"Miko, explain." He demanded as he gazed upon the two children currently being scolded by Shippo.
"Very well, this way my lord." Kagome replied with a sigh as she kissed all three of her children on the forehead and walked towards Rin. She offered the young girl a gentle smile before opening her arms up and allowing her to jump in them, Rin didn't hesitate for a second as she clung to the older woman for dear life.
"It's alright honey they're just toddlers and didn't know any better. They thought you were going to attack me and since they still don't know you they tried to defend me. Do you understand?" The young girl shook her head yes before loosening her grip on Kagome and finally letting go.
"Rin is sorry, Rin didn't know. Are the babies Kagome-sama's?"
"Yes they are, the one with the spikey-hair is named Hiei and the one Shippo is carryings is his sister Yukina. They're twins that I adopted." Kagome explained as she kept a hand on her shoulder.
"Can Miss Kagome-sama adopt Rin too?" Hope shined in her chocolate orbs as she clasped her hands together.
"But Rin, if I adopt you as well who will keep Lord Sesshomaru company?" Kagome questioned as she furrowed her brows together for effect. The small girl seemed to think hard for a few seconds before nodding her head in agreement.
"Kagome-sama is right, Rin will be sad and so will Lord Sesshomaru. Rin will stay with him and keep him company." Kagome chuckled at her response and reached over to brush some strands of hair away from her face as she smiled brightly. Sesshomaru stood by waiting patiently as she watched the children go off and play, Hiei and Yukina warmed up to Rin immediately after the initial glare as Shippo displayed his magic tricks.
"Kasai, watch them." Kagome ordered the small feline before turning around just as he transformed into his true form. He sat close to the children and watched them intently as his tail swished back and forth. Sesshomaru walked ahead and entered her humble abode as she moved towards her makeshift kitchen and prepared tea.
"The boy is a forbidden child." The demon Lord spoke after a moment of silence. Kagome poked the fire and added more wood before nodding her head.
"Both of them are hybrids, born from a fire apparition and an ice maiden. I saved them just as the elder of the tribe threw them off the cliff."
"Are you aware of the consequences of your actions miko?" The edge in his voice made Kagome uneasy as she poured the tea into a cup.
"They're just children my lord, what else was I to do?" She questioned softly before placing the cup in front of him and taking her place at his side.
"Hn." He replied as he took a sip from the cup and set it down. "Be prepared."
"For what? I've always been prepared." Kagome replied coolly as she set her cup down and stared at her reflection.
"Attacks have become far and few in-between, am I correct?" Kagome nodded.
"The last one that occurred was over a month ago, I think everything is starting to settle."
"How naïve." He cut through her peace of mind without a second thought as he stood up from his seat and walked out the door.
"What do you mean? What's going on?" Kagome ran after him just as a ball of fire struck down on the ground beside her. Sesshomaru unsheathed his sword immediately and jumped in to the air as Kagome frantically searched for the children. The sound of metal against metal could be heard just as the rest of the gang showed up.
"Momma!" Shippo cried out as he stood in front of the twins and Rin. Kagome spotted them immediately and ran for all she was worth as a meteor came crashing down, she waved her hand and created a barrier for the children before looking up as the sky was littered with demons of all shapes and sizes, half dressed in dark clothing and glaring at her with blood red eyes.
"HIRAIKOTSU!" Sango yelled out as she threw her large boomerang into the air. Miroku was busy keeping a few at bay as Inuyasha unsheathed Tetsusaiga.
"Damn it Kagome! I told you those kids were trouble." Inuyasha yelled as he threw his first attack. Kagome ignored his words as she jumped in to the air and flipped, landing right beside the children as she looked up and strengthened the barrier.
"Shikon-miko! You have disobeyed the tribes and kept the forbidden child alive, for that insolence you shall perish!" Kagome shook her head in disbelief at what she heard. Anger fueled her ire as her powers burned through her veins, itching to be used as she whistled for Kasai. Her trusted pet roared with anger and let his own fiery power out as he opened his mouth and let the flames lick up his opponents. Sango cleared the way for the cat demon just as his mother jumped into the fray, providing assistance for her own mistress as she unleashed her own attacks.
"Shippo, take Rin and the twins to Kaede." Kagome whispered into her kit's ears. He nodded before turning towards Rin and helping her onto the huge feline just as Kagome picked the twins up. Hiei and Yukina cried at the loss of their mother's warmth as she passed them on to Shippo and kissed them all goodbye. Kasai wasted no time in flying off as Kagome chanted a concealment spell. The demons all cried out in frustration as the group of children disappeared, their scents nowhere to be found as Kagome let her barrier down.
"You just pissed off the wrong person." She growled as she took her feather out and threw it in the air, it transformed like always as she hopped on and stood up, demons came at her from all angles as her blue orbs glowed an unearthly pink.
"We will kill you and eat your children! The power those two hybrids possess will seep into our blood making us stronger!" One of them hissed as he moved to strike her. "Your blood will taste so sweet on my tongue, and when I swallow up that jewel I will be the most powerful!"
"Try doing it before saying it you twat!" Kagome screeched as she crossed her arms and unleased her powers. Long blades of pink purification cut through the hordes easily as Kagome turned and extended her arm above her. The wind surrounded her finger immediately as she created a tornado, pink swirls of pure energy surrounded it before slicing through more of the demons. The fight raged on as each group threw their best attacks at each other.
"Retreat! Retreat! They're too strong, we have to retaliate." A shrouded figure called out before flying away as Kagome sent a ball of purification hurdling towards them. The rest were finished off with ease as Kagome jumped off of her large feather. It immediately changed back into its tiny form as Kagome opened her palm, catching it with ease as she looked down at the bloodied chaos.
"Those chumps ruined my lawn." She grumbled under her breath before placing the feather behind her ear and looking around towards her group. Everyone seemed out of breath with a few scratches here and there but none of which were life threatening as Kagome took in a big gulp of air and relaxed. Her children were safe and that was all that mattered to her.
"That was just a warning." Inuyasha heaved as he wiped away the blood from his sword and sheathed it. "Those bastards will be back."
"And I'll be waiting." Kagome replied bitterly as she wiped the sweat off her brow.
"If that was just a warning lady Kagome I am afraid the worse is yet to come." Miroku tried to reason as he leaned against a tree.
"Miroku is right, you and the children aren't safe here anymore. Your barrier is strong but if they could find a way through that who knows what else will happen." Sango added causing her worry to rise up once again.
"Your companions are correct." Sesshomaru spoke up as he walked up to her. He seemed completely unfazed by what just happened as he looked down with a cool and calculating gaze.
"Oh my god." She breathed out as realization dawned on her. The barrier she had created around them was supposed to hold up against anything and anyone. The concern she had for her children outweighed her rationality and now she was paying for it as she slumped down to the floor and rubbed her temples.
"Open your eyes miko, you may have bitten off more than you can chew." Sesshomaru advised causing Kagome's irritation to grow.
"I don't regret my decision, something lead me to those children and I don't give a damn who opposes it. They deserve to live and live they will, I'll make sure of it!" Her voice held a deadly edge as she stood up and stared the demon lord down. Silence fell amongst them as everyone tried to collect their thoughts together. They knew better than to go against Kagome when it came to her children.
"You are a stubborn one." The cold lord stated before walking into the forest. "But you have my word, if ever you need my assistance I shall be there."
"Thank you, my lord." Kagome couldn't help but smile at his retreating figure. He could be cruel at times but she knew he held a soft spot for her.
"Feh, you better be happy wench." Inuyasha fumed as he jumped into a tree and turned around. "If it weren't for you and those brats I'd probably be able to have a decent nap every once in a while."
"I believe what Inuyasha is trying to say is that you can count on us." Kagome smiled as Sango placed a hand on her shoulder and squeezed it. Miroku nodded in agreement as Kagome looked up at the sky, no matter how hard the going got her friends were always tougher and she couldn't be anymore thankful as she followed them towards Kaede's.
The attacks became more frequent to the point where even the villagers started to join in on the battles. The twins were growing more every day and Kagome knew they were smart enough to know that they were the cause of the commotion. Her heart ached to comfort them but she just couldn't find the right words to say each time.
"Momma, are we a mistake?" Yukina questioned every night, throwing Kagome completely off guard as she combed her daughter's hair. It had been two years since they entered her life and Kagome finally started getting use to how quickly they grew and took in everything, it was unbelievable how intelligent they both were.
"No baby, no one is a mistake. Each living thing has a purpose on this earth, nothing is ever wasted." She would explain earning a smile from her daughter as Hiei played swords with Shippo. When they were finally tired of their games they would both cuddle up beside her as she held them close and told them stories. Hiei was the quietest of the three and the most observant, taking in his surroundings and observing everyone and everything. He hardly showed emotion with the exception of his siblings and Kagome who would always catch him watching Inuyasha fight against Sesshomaru. He was so intrigued with the movements and strategies that he would mimic them in his games with Shippo.
Yukina was a sweetheart, such an innocent child full of life as she ran around picking flowers with Rin and the rest of the village's children. Everyone adored her despite the fact that her kind were said to be cold and unfeeling. Kagome had raised them all in a household full of love and affection, teaching them to be gentle and how to connect with the world around them.
"You're such a wonderful mother for them Kagome, I don't think they could have been this lucky anywhere else." Sango stated out of the blue as she watched the young priestess work on patching up a large cut on one of the farmers from the next town over. Kagome dipped a cloth in to some boiling water before wringing it out and wiping it over the wound, the man flinched but didn't say a word as he bit his bottom lip.
"Thank you Sango but in truth I'm the lucky one, those children are the kami's biggest blessings to me aside from you, Miroku, and Inuyasha." Kagome replied as she disinfected a needle and thread. She warned the man ahead of time before plunging the sharp object into his skin and making quick work of the stitches. He hollered in pain as Sango held him down for Kagome to finish, satisfied with her work she proceeded to rub some herbal paste on it before allowing some of her powers to seep into it hardening the paste as she bandaged it up and allowed him to leave.
"Arigatou miko-sama." The man bowed as he offered her a basket full of vegetables and two chickens. Kagome smiled and declined his gifts only to take them anyways as he begged her to keep them.
"You know Kagome they'll always give you something in return." Sango chuckled as they both walked out to check on the children. A joke was exchanged between them as Kagome looked up and froze, Sango stopped right beside her and turned in the direction the priestess had looked at and grew wide-eyed.
"A demon! A demon! There's an unknown demon in the village!" Everyone began to scatter around causing panic as the unknown stranger limped its way towards Kagome.
'Sesshomaru?' Kagome thought at first glance but soon took the words back as she noticed the oddly shaped ears atop the man's head.
"Fox yokai." Sango informed her as she readied her weapon, Inuyasha and Miroku had gone fishing for the day leaving only the two women to defend their territory.
"Wait." Kagome stated as she raised a hand up towards Sango who was already in her fighting stance.
"Momma?" Hiei questioned as he watched his mother walk closer to the unknown figure, his beast wanted so badly to stop her as Yukina held on to him. Shippo wrapped a hand around his arm preventing him from doing anything rash as the other children ran home.
"State your business." Kagome demanded as she watched the male limp a few more steps, blood started to pour down his side causing Kagome to throw all caution to the wind as she moved forward and caught him before he fell on the ground.
'He's heavier than he looked' She thought as she inspected him thoroughly, he was handsome to say the least as golden eyes opened and closed wearily. Kagome slowly brought his body down to the ground before settling his head into her lap. The other villagers walked over cautiously as their priestess ripped the strangers clothing off and looked over the wound.
"Kagome, that's….." Sango began as she put a hand up to her mouth. "That's Youko Kurama!" whispers broke through the crowd causing Kagome's attention to falter as the kitsune's pulse began to slowly fade.
"Someone help me get him inside!" She barked before moving to lift him as four men moved to her side aiding her in bringing the strange demon into her hut. Sango brought her weapon down and walked over to the frightened children assuring them that everything was alright.
"Thank you now please leave me here to treat him." Kagome demanded as she shooed away the men and closed the door. She proceeded to gather the materials she would need before sitting by his side and cleaning him off. He flinched at the hot water but relaxed at her touch as he opened his eyes to try and get a look at his savior. Her hands were gentle and fast as she sewed up the wound, mixing some of her healing powers with the thread as she sped up the healing process. Finally done with the large gash she wiped away all the other nicks and scratches around his body before cleaning him off and wrapping him in a new set of robes.
"Thank you." He whispered weakly before falling completely unconscious to the pain, Kagome simply nodded before cleaning up the area and covering him with a blanket. He looked at peace laying there as strands of his silky silver hair framed his face, she still couldn't believe how beautiful he was as she let out a sigh and wiped her forehead.
'Saved another one! You go Kagome.' She silently praised herself as she washed her hands and walked out of the hut. Her children immediately ran to her side as Hiei lifted his arms up to be carried, she happily obliged to her son's request as Yukina wrapped tiny arms around her leg. Shippo leaned against her while Hiei buried his nose in the crook of her neck, happy that his mother was okay.
"So how was it?" Sango questioned as Kagome motioned for the other villagers to continue with their duties.
"He had a nasty gash on his side and a few nicks here and there but otherwise he'll be okay. My powers will hopefully seep the poison in and close the wound up before it gets any worse." Kagome explained as she began a light stroll down a beaten path.
"I still can't believe that the Youko Kurama would willingly come here, he's wanted in many places and is known as the infamous thief." Sango explained causing Shippo and Hiei's eyes to widen.
"Momma he bad?" Yukina questioned as she placed her thumb into her mouth.
"No sweetheart, he must have his reasons. We don't judge one side before listening to the other." Kagome replied as they stopped in front of the Goshinboku. Yukina nodded her understanding as she plopped down under the large tree, Kagome followed her movements and sat beside her before settling a sleeping Hiei in her arms.
"Kagome why do you think he chose this place? A demon of his ranking usually hides away, afraid to be exposed under such weak conditions yet he strays here." Sango wondered as she sat beside her, Shippo leaned against his mother and dozed off into a nap as Yukina yawned and laid her head in his lap.
"Haven't you heard Sango?" Kagome questioned with amusement. "I'm a magnet for strays."
A/N: I tried to throw that all in there to make the story progress a little bit because why drag it on longer than it should. Hopefully you all enjoyed the somewhat peace they all have because pretty soon shit is going to hit the fan.
