Chapter one

Kagome sighed softly as she walked out of Kaede's hut. It has been about six months since they defeated Naraku and she made her wish on the Shikon-no-tama. The magic of the bone eaters well had sealed her in the feudal era, but she had expected as much. Kagome smiled as she stepped out into the sun the breeze blowing her miko clothes around her. Her miko cloths were anything but traditional, the pants were the same green her school uniform skirt had been. The top was white with the symbol of the Western lands on the back and the right sleeve. Surprisingly her new cloths had been a gift from none other then the Lord of the Western lands himself sent by way of Jaken his loyal retainer. She smiled as she sat under a large Sakura tree watching the villagers go about their day remembering that day Jaken had come with the gift for her.

Flashback

Jaken grumbled quietly to himself as he waddled into the small village. He had been told to be as polite as if he was talking to his lord himself. Kaede walked up to the toad demon with Shippo on her shoulder.

"Master Jaken what do we owe the pleasure of ye's visit?" Kaede asked as she smiled down at him.

"Lady Kaede I have a gift for Lady Kagome from Milord Sesshomaru." Jaken said bowing respectfully to the miko of the small village.

"Lady Kagome is at the God tree, but I will send Shippo to fetch her so you can give her gift directly to her." Kaede said as Shippo jumped off her shoulder and raced off to get his mother.

"Momma!!!" Shippo called as he jumped happily into Kagomes lap. Kagome smiled and hugged him.

"Shippo baby did you need something love?" She asked as she smiled happily at him as he looked up at her with his green eyes shining brightly in the rays of the sun.

"Momma, Master Jaken is here with a gift for you from Sesshomaru-sama" Shippo said smiling up at his adopted mother.

"What why would the Lord of the Western Lands be sending me a gift. Well guess we had better not keep Jaken waiting then shall we" Kagome said as she stood with her son in her arms as she walked. Kagome smiled at Jaken as she walked into the village and into Kaede's hut.

"Well hello there Master Jaken this is a surprise" Kagome said as she sat down across from him smiling happily at him as Shippo jumped out of her arms and sat down next to her.

"Lady Kagome Miko of the Shikon no tama, I have a gift for you from Milord. I have been told to give it to you and you alone Milady." Jaken said as he looked over at her. Kaede and shippo walked quietly out of the hut. When they were gone Jaken handed her the package. She opened the package and gasped in shock while she looked over the miko cloths in her lap.

There were four sets of clothes in the package each one a different color, the first one was the same green as her school uniform skirt had been. The second was the normal red, the third was a dark blue, and the last was a dark purple. Each one had the symbol of the Western lands on the back and right sleeves.

"They're beautiful Jaken, but what did I do to earn such a gift?" She asked him quietly. Jaken shook his head lightly telling her he didn't even know. She looked down at the cloths again and noticed a letter for that had her name on it. She picked it up and looked it over for a moment before she broke the seal of it and read it.

{Miko of the Shikon no tama,

This gift is a thank you for restoring my arm and for the protection of my ward Rin in the final battle. The symbol of the Western Lands is on the back and the sleeve of every set of cloths. This symbol shows that you are under my protection it is my way of thanking you for what u have done for me.

Lord of the Western Lands}

Kagome gasped softly as she read over the letter several times before she looked up at Jaken and smiled. She nodded at him that she would wear the cloths happily. She noticed that Jaken had a wound on his leg as he started out of the hut.

"Jaken wait just a moment let me tend to your wound before you leave please" Kagome said smiling happily at the toad demon. Jaken nodded his head and sat back down across from her.

"Its the least I can do for you bringing the gift from Sesshomaru-sama. I'll get Kilala to take you back so your not injured on your way okay" Kagome said softly as she bandaged his wound.

"Lady Kagome you have a truly kind heart to take my safety into thought like that and I thank you." Jaken said as they walked out of the hut.

"Songo can Kilala take Jaken back to the Western Lands castle please?" Kagome asked as she smiled at her friend\sister.

"Of course Kagome." Sango said smiling as Kilala jumped out of her arms and changed into her larger form. Kilala smiled as Kagome picked up Jaken and placed him on her back.

"Take care Jaken and tell Sassomaru-sama I said thank you for the gift." Kagome said smiling as Kilala took to the sky with the small demon on her back. Jaken nodded his head at her that he would relay the message to his lord.

"Kagome what gift?" Sango asked as she looked over at her sister as they walked back into the hut and gathered their things to take a bath in the hot spring close by. They talked happily as they bathed and dried off. Kagome put on one of the new sets of cloths he had given her.

"Oh my Kagome is that what Lord Sesshomaru sent you?" Sango asked as she walked around her friend looking at the clothes smiling as she did.

"Yes he sent four sets each different but each having the Western Symbol on the back and right sleeve. Come on lets get back" Kagome said softly as they walked back to the village happily. Inuyasha jumped down from his tree and growled as he smelt his brother on Kagome.

"What the hell Kagome why do you smell like my bastard half brother?" He growled out loudly.

"Well if you must know he sent me a gift of four sets of miko clothes and you are not going to stop me from wearing them." Kagome said as she walked around him and toward the hut to put things away.

"WENCH don't walk away from me" He growled out as he turned and growled out louder as he saw the Western symbol on the back of the cloths.

"SIT BOY!!!!!!" Kagome yelled loudly as she heard him hit the ground hard. "I have a name learn how to use it Inuyasha" She walked back into the hut and put her things away. Inuyasha pulled himself out of the small creator and jumped up into his tree again.

"You know Inuyasha you really shouldn't call her names like that" Kikyou said as she looked up at him.

"Feh what ever" He said as he looked up at the sky. Kikyou sighed softly as she went back to helping an elderly man with his shopping. Kagome had wished her back to life but her and Inuyasha realized that what they had was just a close friend ship and he saw herself and Kagome as younger sisters more then lovers. Kikyou had fallen for a young man in the village and was just recently married to him. Inuyasha was happy she was finally able to find someone who loved her for her and not what she had been in the past.

End Flashback

Kikyou noticed Kagome sitting under the tree alone and walked up to her smiling. The two girls had long since put there differences aside and were great friends now.

"Kagome may I ask what's wrong? You don't seem like your self since the other day dear?" Kikyou asked as she sat down next to her friend looking at her worried about her.

"Hey Kikyou. Do I really seem that out of it?" She asked as she smiled at her eyes still slightly sad.

"Yes you do you seem sad about something. I know you miss your family back in your time but I don't think that's what's wrong. You know you can talk to me about anything right?" Kikyou said softly as she watched her friend look down at her hands in her lap.

"Your right its not what everyone thinks is bothering me. For some strange reason I miss...... I miss traveling with Sessomaru is all I miss everything about him and I don't really know why" Kagome said blushing brightly as she glanced over at her friend. Kikyou smirked at her as she had an Idea about how to fix that for her friend.

"Oh could it be little Kagome has fallen in love with the Great Lord of the West? But I think I know how you can fix that problem. Why don't you go and visit him dear just you and Shippo I'm sure he would enjoy playing with Rin for a while" Kikyou said smiling happily at her friend as she had stars in her eyes at the thought of her friend being in love with the Great Lord.

"Yeah that's a great Idea but wouldn't he be mad at me for just showing up like that?" Kagome asked as she watched her friend smiling at her.

"No not if you and Shippo decided to travel alone for a while and you just happen to wander into the western lands." Kikyou said smiling brightly at her.

"Yeah I would guess your right and this village has you to heal them and all so I guess it would be fun to travel again." Kagome said as she stood and helped her friend to her feet. She smiled brightly as she dashed into the hut and started to pack her things. Shippo wondered into the hut and watched his mother quietly.

"Momma where are you going?" He asked as he sat next to the door quietly. Kagome smiled and turned to her adopted son.

"Well I thought you and I would go and travel for a while. What do you say to that dear?" She asked as he jumped into her arms happily.

"Really just me and you momma?" He asked as he looked up at her with those green eyes shining brightly at her.

"Yep of course dear would u like that?" She asked as she finished packing and placed him on her shoulder.

"I sure would momma" He said softly.

"Well then we leave after lunch then okay" She said happily as she walked out of the hut smiling brightly at the thought of another adventure taking place for her and her son.

Shippo sat outside in front of the hut while his mother and Kaede started to fix lunch. He smiled as he sniffed the air before he frowned and ran inside the hut to tell his mother something.

"Momma I think we should wait before we leave, its going to rain soon." He said as he sat down next to her and watched them cook.

"Alright then I'll take your word for it love. We will wait till the rain stops and then leave. Wouldn't want either of us getting sick now would we" She said smiling happily as she scratched his head gently while she stirred the pot with stew in it.

"No we wouldn't. Is lunch almost done?" He asked as he smiled happily at his mother.

"Almost love almost." She said smiling as she continued to stir the pot of stew while Kaede added things to it.

"Yay!!!" He called happily as he jumped up and down next to his mother. After lunch it started to storm just like shippo had said it would.

"Damn weather" Inuyasha muttered as he ran into the hut drenched in rain water. Kagome shook her head as she handed him a towel so he could dry off and get out of the wet clothes. Kagome settled back down with shippo in her lap and took out a book he had been working on.

"Well since its storming out side would u like to continue your reading lesson shippo?" She asked smiling happily at him. Miroku and Sango had gotten married about two months ago and lived in a near by hut. Kagome, Shippo and Inuyasha were the only ones that stayed at Kaede's now. Shippo nodded as he looked up at her smiling happily. They sat and worked on his reading till time for dinner time. After dinner they played a short game before laying down and both drifted off to sleep smiling happily. Kagome knew she would have to tell her friends the next day that her and Shippo would be leaving to travel on their own for a while. She smiled as she drifted to sleep.
