I don't own any characters from the anime!

A figure stood over the still smoldering ashes and wood of the burned down home. The people who had lived there where named traitors to the dictator of Japan; a cold and ruthless demon. The figures shoulders where hunched over and tears where leaking form her eyes for the one who lived there are or were her only remaining family. She knew the one who had did this. Anger erupted from the small girl as the tears stopped and she lifted her head as she swore that that she would track down the man and kill him for what he did. As she turned and walked away the 13year old girl shouted to the gods "I Kagome Higuashi will spend the rest of my life training and tracking you down Inuyasha! And when I find you, you will be sorry!"

12 years later

A woman of the age of 25 stood at four unmarked gravies with a bundle of fresh flowers in her hands. The woman was small at 5'6 with long slightly wavy mid-night black hair that came to the end of the smalls of her back. She had silver blue eyes, a small soft looking mouth that sat on a clear face and long willowy figure with curves with long legs. Her skin, silky looking, the color of ivory with a golden dust over suggests that she didn't stay in the daylight much. Her hair was pulled into a French twist with some loose bangs falling over the side of her face. On each middle finger were cuff rings the color of silver.

She was wearing a warm white kimono that's easy on the eyes for the main color with a light blue under kimono. It had soft pink fox paw prints on her right shoulder, left sleeve, the ends of the right sleeve, hem by her feet, and the edge of the kimono from around the neck to waist on the right and starts on the left from the breast to the knee. The obi was a warm mild-red color with white fox paw prints scattered about it. The fabric is silk. On her back were a long bow and a sling full of arrows. At her waist where two kanatana's tied to her with a soft light blue long ribbon but they sat in a slits in her obi as well. And on her face was a sad but happy smile.

"I brought you all fresh flowers Mother, Father, Grandpa, Brother Sota," she spoke aloud, her voice smooth and full of warmth as she knelt in front of the gravies. She divided the flowers and laid them on the grassed over mounds of soil. "I have great news. The war between the dictator demon and those who don't wish to fallow him has been over for a while now. I would have come back right after but I was needed. During the war I met three important people. The first was a demon kit named Shippo. He stole from me an enchanted necklace to pawn and save his father with the money. But in the end his father still died; he was killed by a pair of youkai called the Thunder Brothers. Shippo was 12 then but now he is 21 and a handsome young fox. I was 16 when we met."

"After that I met a monk by the name of Miroku, who was 19 then, who asked me to bear his children and then he rubbed my ass." Kagome laughed at the memory as she closed her eyes for the vision of what happened flashed over her. She sat still for a moment going over it then she opened her eyes. "He too was on a mission of revenge but not on Inuyasha but the dictator Naraku, he's the one who ordered Inuyasha to kill you, for Naraku put the curse of the Hell Hole on his family starting with his grandfather and it passes down through the men in his family. He started to travel with me and Shippo when I was just 17 and I had to keep him from women sense and I love him for it. Now he is just 27."

"A few months later we ran into a Demon Exterminator named Sango who was looking for Inuyasha as well as Naraku. Naraku had possessed a human body of a prince and called the best of the Exterminators to his castle while Inuyasha attack the villagers of the Exterminators. Sango was the Daughter of the headmaster of the village and was called the strongest in her village." Kagome sighed at the image of a near dead and broken woman she had help and give back her spirit to fight and take her revenge; then at the image of a tall woman who stood proud with a soft smile on her face and a faint flicker of sadness in her eyes. "With her came a most loyal companion to her and our group by the name of Kirara. Kirara is a fire neko youkai who has been with Sango sense she, Sango, was a little girl. She was the only one alive in the village when we went there after Sango's wounds healed for Naraku had attacked the Exterminators at the castle and killed them."

"Shippo is 6'2 and still growing like hell with dark bold red hair that comes down to mid-shoulder blade in soft locks when in a pony-tail. His eyes are emerald forest green colors that are usually soft but they can be cold and blank when needed. He has a strong face structure, and a well muscled body that is narrow and fit of a youkai. He wears a dark green top with white leaves all over it and over the top is a tan fur vest and he has black pants," said Kagome as she stood and started to walk around the gravies with her hands behind her back. There was a pleasant smile on her face as she did so. Behind her leaning on his shoulder agents a tree in the forest of gold, red, yellow, and orange with a soft loving look on his face and arms and feet crossed lazily, was a youkai. His name…Shippo.

"Miroku is around 5'8 -5'9 with jet black hair that is pulled back into a small pony at the base of his neck. He has dark violet eyes that are sharp and quick to pick out danger as well as women. He is well built with an even harder head and face because he is getting hit and slapped all the time by women, Sango, and myself. On his left hand to his elbow is a glove wrap the color purple and then dark purple beads wrapped over his hand to seal the tunnel from sucking up everything but now that Naraku is dead the curse is gone but he wears it out of tradition. He wears black and purple monk robes and black leggings under the robes. In his hands he carries a staff and in the folds of his robes are a lot of seals and wards," said Kagome as she grinned and did a little twirl as she stopped in front of the gravies again. Behind Shippo in the forest a few trees farther into it stud a human man in front of a tree. His name was Miroku.

"Sango is 5'7 with light brown hair that comes down to the top of her ass is long strait locks. She has dark brown eyes that are so dark they look black. She is very well built because she grew up as an exterminator. Her knowledge is vast in demon killing. She has a quick temper with perverts and an even faster hand to slap them; she has had many hard ships in life.

Kirara is almost always at her side; she is the color of cream with two tails that have black slashes rounded them and a black diamond on her forehead, her eyes are red. Sango wears a black exterminator outfit with pinkish red armor. Her weapons are a large bone boomerang that came from a bear demons jaw and also at her hip is the traditional demon slayer sword as well as her poisons," Kagome knelt down and placed one hand in front of her, a serious look overcoming her face.

"She to had been after Inuyasha and Naraku for vengeance of the massacre of her family and village. For this, I think it's why we are so close to each other; we are sisters, Miroku is my brother, and Shippo my son, because we all bare the pain of seeing our family die. But Sango and I are both grateful for meeting each other." A far away look was on her face as she said this. Only trees behind Miroku but across the small clearing stud a woman with a grin on her face. Her arms where crossed in front of her, leaning her back against the tree with on foot placed flat against the trunk with a small demon cat laying on her shoulder purring. Her name…Sango.

Kagome stud again and turned her back to the graves as she walked down the dirt path to the bridge that would take her to the village she and her companies where staying at. When she reached the bridge she stopped and lifted her head turning it slightly to the left to the forest area. "Well? Are you guys coming or not?" she called. She turned her body half way with a smile/smirk on her face as Shippo, Miroku, and Sango came out of the forest and walked to her.

"Where to next, Lady Kagome?" asked Miroku as they all walked across the bridge and into the town. "Yes Mother, where to next?" Shippo asked with amusement in his voice and eyes looking at her. "Hmmm… how about a tour of main Japan to see what we help make? Then while we are at it we can map out the main demon territory; how would you all like that?" Kagome asked with a laugh as she slide an arm into Shippos with easy casual that showed.

The village her group was staying at was fairly big. It held both demons and humans. This was rare because the demons usually couldn't stand the humans but sense the war the two sides have been cooperating with each other. She smiled at the people she and her group past by taking in their faces and auras to file away in the back of her mind if it was ever need to know. "How about we go into the one main demons territory that we haven't seen? His name during the war was Battousai, Humura Battousai. I hear that his human side was triggered some how at the end of the war and now he wanders his lands helping people and looking for some kind of forgiveness for his killing. Some say he is unaware he is a demon while he is in the human form and that he cant escape because his human side is holding on to something," said Sango as they all sat down at a table in the inn they where staying at.

Kagome and the rest look thoughtful before Miroku spoke up, "I have heard of that name before I met up with you Kagome, it was said that he had the appearance of a demon with long blood red hair in a samurai tail, his eyes an amber gold color. The only way we know what he looks like now is because he travels and the rumors during the war of a demon that looked like that. It's said that his fighting skills surpass even that of the gods." "That and his abilities to seduce women are flawless. But Miroku, that to is just a rumor you know?" laugh Shippo as he dodged the hit Miroku throw his way. "So what do you think Kagome-chan? Are we going to see this demon or what?" asked Sango as she put down her blow of food for she had finished.

A thoughtful look past over Kagomes face as she too set down her empty bowl. Then she smiled and looked around at her companions, "I believe we are heading to Kyoto." They all smiled and node their heads in agreement, then…"Miroku you Pervert!" and Sango promptly slapped him.

The others laughed as they returned to their rooms for in the morning they were heading out.

With Ken-shin and the others

'Another beautiful day,' thought a man as he washed the laundry. He was a small man with long crimson red hair that was tied back at the base of his neck. On his left cheek was a cross shaped scare; his eyes a violet blue. His name was Kenshin.

'I hate doing the laundry. Stop it right now and let me out.' A voice in the back of his head demanded. Kenshin sighed as he bent down again to continue to do his task that he had stop doing when looking at the sky. 'This one will not, that he won't. You are a killing monster that will continue to kill until you die, that you will,' answered Kenshin as put the clean laundry up to dry.

'Ha! You don't know any thing because you're so afraid of what I might say will be the truth not what you want to think. Look at you, you're staying in an unmated girls dojo with another unmated man and a child! You do the laundry, cooking, and cleaning-all women work while that slip of a girl goes around with that bonkken hitting us and others and doesn't lift a finger in her own home! And you let her!' yelled the Battousai as his human side continued to put the laundry up. 'Miss Kaoru goes to work to pay for the dojo that we sleep in, the food that we eat, and she lets us stay her with out paying for it. It is the least we can do to repay her but doing the house chores while she is at work.' Kenshin answered as he dismissed Battousai and push him into the back of his mind to continue with his task.

He continues to ignore him for the rest of the day and didn't answer him until while he was making dinner until Battousai made the comment-'I don't see why we are here. (Sigh) I could have been mated with children by now if you hadn't showed up, but nooo you had to wake up and imprison me to only watch and yell at you but to be unable to do any thing.' Kenshin blinked in surprise at the demons words as an image flash before his eyes of Battousai sitting with a faceless woman in his lap and a child in her arms and one on his other leg. His eyes soften at the image, 'We both want that but we are unable to have it. Our wife died and our chance gone.' 'No, Tomoe was a woman that we used to hide and for relief, not our mate. Our mate means much more than a stupid wife; we could have thousands of wives but only one mate. That one person that our soul will be bound to forever and will share every thing with. You can't hide from or lie too a mate while you can a wife; you can't bind your souls together either if your not soul mates while you can marry any female able. That makes your mate special.'
