Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha or Twilight.
On with the Story!!
Kagome sighed as she sat in her plane seat with Shippo beside her. She had remembered Midoriko saying that she had something else she had to do, but she didn't think it would take her all the way into America…
She sighed and looked out the window thinking back on that faithful day…
Flashback…
"Inuyasha!! Watch out!" Kagome yelled out as a tentacle was jabbed at him. Said hanyou jumped out of the way only to be impaled by a second tentacle in his side. Kagome yelled out in fear for her friend and pulled out an arrow to shoot at the offender.
"Naraku!" Kagome called out, "Today is the day that you die!" She drew back her arrow and with a quick motion, let it fly at the fowl beast. As the arrow flew, Inuyasha recovered enough to do his Kazu no Kizu to join the miko's arrow in helping destroy Naraku.
Naraku, not expecting such an attack was unable to get away. He along with Kanna and Hakudoshi were destroyed. Kagura, having joined their inu-tachi, had taken part in Naraku's demise.
So now after three long years of search and destroy, Naraku was finished and the jewel was nearly complete.
The young miko looked around to survey the damage. She saw Sango leaning over a badly injured Kilala, Miroku was pulling himself up to help her; Shippo she knew was safe because he stayed behind with Kaeda in the village. She kept looking around when she saw Inuyasha begin pulled up by the new member Kikyo. She sighed as she remembered the day…
Flashback within a flashback…
"Hey, Kagome…" Inuyasha started, "I need to talk to you." He looked at the miko and put his hand out.
Kagome blinked, "Um…okay." They began to walk towards the god tree when he stopped at the exact place where they first met.
Inuyasha looked down at Kagome and sighed, "Kagome, we have been together for three years now and I am now able to except myself has a hanyou thanks to you."
Kagome smiled, "Well that is good Inuyasha, but what did you want to talk to me about?" She heard Inuyasha sigh again and knew that it had something to do with Kikyo.
"What I wanted to say was that I love you." He looked at Kagome's face and noticed that she was waiting for him to continue. To say the least, he was shocked. "But, I only think of you as a little sister that I want to protect…" He looked at her to see that she was smiling. "I know that Inuyasha." He heard her say, "I have known that for awhile now. Yes I loved you before like something more, but after seeing you with Kikyo so many times," She saw his ears flatten on his head, but she just smiled making him even more confused, "I slowly began to except the fact that you would only love me has a sister, so I began to except that and began to feel the same way!" She looked up at his shocked face and just laughed. She took his hand and began to pull him back to the camp, "So, when are you going to invite her to join the group?" Inuyasha smiled and gripped her hand, "How about tonight?" Kagome nodded as they walked back to camp.
End Flashback within a flashback…
She smiled at the memory. She also grimaced at all the training Kikyo made her do after she had joined. After the training, Kikyo revealed to her that she wasn't her reincarnation, but Midoriko's. With that knowledge, Kagome became even stronger, perhaps even stronger than Kikyo and maybe even Midoriko. She smiled at the memory. Kagome then looked over to Kouga and noticed that he and his clan were gathering the dead and injured. She kept looking until she found Sesshomaru. She looked over and noticed that he was badly injured and that he was slowly walking away. Kagome ran up to him, "Sesshomaru-sama, please, let me help heal your wounds." Sesshomaru stopped and looked at the miko in front of him and smiled a small smile, "Do what you want little sister." Kagome beamed up at him and proceeded to heal him. As she was healing him, she thought back to the time when they first became allies.
Flashback within a flashback…
Sesshomaru was, once again fighting/practicing with Inuyasha. (Sesshomaru had long given up his pursuit for the Tetsaiga when he got his Tokijin.) Kagome was sitting on the sidelines becoming more and more annoyed with the pointless battle when she finally decided to end it. She grabbed her sword that Totasai had made her, and ran in between the two Inus. She thrust her sword at Inuyasha's sword effectively stopping his attack, but forgot about the charging Sesshomaru until she felt a blade slice through her arm...She yelped in pain and jumped out at him. She put up a decent battle until she was pinned down by him. "Do you yield?" Sesshomaru asked with a cold voice. Kagome struggled until she realized that she was defeated. She sighed, "Yes…" She felt the blade at her throat lift up and she stood up glaring at the full-demon. "You have some skill with that sword, but are still too weak to wield it correctly." He put his hand up to silence her protest, "you will come with me to my castle so that I can properly train you to wield such a blade." He watched as her face lit up. "Yay!" She jumped up and down. "Let me get some of my things and say bye to my friends!" She ran back into camp and told them about Sesshomaru's offer and of course Inuyasha put up a fight because it was his brother she was about to go with, no matter that they were now on friendly terms…He just didn't want to let her go with him because she was still human and didn't want to see her get hurt. But, after a few sits' and a verbal warning from Sango and Miroku, he let her go. Kagome stayed with Sesshomaru for two months learning how to wield her sword and other weapons. She came back one day with Sesshomaru at her side with a new attire of black and red fighting kimono with a silver dog on the back showing that she was under the protection of the great dog demon of the west.
End flashback within a flashback…
After everyone was somewhat healed, they all went back to Kaeda's village and celebrated the defeat of Naraku. Kagome looked at the jewel and then noticed that all were missing were three more jewel shards. The two that Kouga had and the one in Kohaku's back. She went up to Kouga, "Kouga?" He looked up at her eyes and nodded; he bent down into his legs and pulled out the two shards, "Here you go! And no matter what the outcome, you will still be my woman!" Kagome laughed at that. Kouga had long gotten over her being his woman and mated with Ayame, but he still refers to her as 'his woman' for old times' sake. She smiled and walked over to Sango, Miroku, Kohaku, Shippo, Inuyasha, and Kikyo. "Sango, we only have one shard left…" She saw that Sango eyes got teary and was about to say something when she heard a cold voice, "If the boy dies, I shall bring him back." Everyone jumped at the voice and noticed Sesshomaru with his eyes on the boy with his hand on his Tensaiga. Kagome smiled, "Sango, Kohaku, please follow me and Sesshomaru." The four went outside so that, if needed, Sesshomaru would be able to bring Kohaku back. Sango bent down to Kohaku, "Kohaku, I have to get the shard out."
Kohaku slowly nodded, "Of course sister." She kissed his forehead and put her hand on his back, pulling out the shard. Kohaku eyes went lifeless and he fell into Sango's arms. Sango panicked, "Sesshomaru!!"
He gracefully walked over to the boy and swept the sword over the boy's body. They waited for five extra long seconds when Kohaku's body pulsated signaling his heartbeat. Sango and Kagome held their breath until they saw his eyes flutter open, "Sister?" Sango nodded with tears streaming down her cheeks, "Yes, Kohaku, it's me!" She wrapped her arms around him and held him close. She looked up at the stoic demon lord, "Thank you for bringing my brother back to me." Sesshomaru nodded his head and walked back inside the hut. Kagome looked at Sango and Kohaku then at the almost complete jewel and smiled. She called everyone outside to where she was. She held the almost complete jewel in one hand and the three last shards in the other. Kagome looked at all her companions and smiled, "whatever happens, I want you all to know that I love you and I will always keep you in my heart." She looked at all of their faces and slowly put her hands together and pulled them close to her heart. The jewel shined as it was finally complete. She pulled the jewel away from her and opens her hand to show the now complete jewel. "We did it!" Kagome and everyone yelled.
Inuyasha and all the others looked at Kagome. Inuyasha stepped forward, "We decided that we wanted to all get you something before you make the wish incase it takes you away from us." He smiled sadly and Kikyo walked up beside him with a package. "This is from the both of us." Kikyo smiled and handed her the gift. Kagome slowly open it up to see a beautifully crafted bow with a dozen arrows to match. "They were all made from branches from the God Tree and blessed by Kikyo to help harbor your miko powers," Inuyasha said. Kagome looked up with tears in her eyes, "They are beautiful! Thank you so much!" She hugged both of them. She saw Sango and Miroku walk up to her and they handed her their packages. She looked up and also saw Sango holding an extra bone boomerang. Kagome's eyes lit up and she looked at Sango with tears in her eyes, Sango nodded, "Kagome, sister, we have been through so much together and I feel that you are part of my family. Therefore, this makes you a demon exterminator." She lifted the boomerang off of her back and handed it to Kagome, "This is my welcoming present." She took a step back and wiped her eyes, "Welcome to my family, Kagome." Kagome had tears in her eyes as she opened her next gift to see a demon exterminators' outfit like Sango's and Kohaku's except with red and silver instead of pink and red like Sango's and blue and green like Kohaku's. She smiled big and then opened the one that Miroku gave her. She laughed and she looked down in her hands that now held a beautiful silver staff that looked like Miroku's that would also help her channel her miko powers. She got up and hugged them both, whispering love you and thank you.
Then, surprisingly, Kagura walked up to her. "Kagome, you helped free me from Naraku's evil way, for that I thank you." She bowed and handed her a beautiful battle fan that she could use to harness her miko powers the way Kagura does the wind. Kagome smiled brightly and brought Kagura close to her, "You are so welcome Kagura. It would have been very hard to defeat him without you. Thank you!" She smiled and looked over towards Sesshomaru shyly, "Oh, and I think now would be a good time to tell Sesshomaru how you feel." Kagura turned bright red and lightly hit Kagome in the arm while giggling. "I think I will!"
Kagome smiled until she felt two strong arms wrap around her. She looked up to see Kouga's sad blue eyes. "Kagome, my woman, I will miss you dearly." He held in front of her a beautiful set of silver daggers with the Kanji of wolf on each of them. She smiled with teary eyes and hugged him back. "Thank you so much." She took a step back and saw that Ayame had something in her hand. Ayame smiled and took Kagome's hand, "Kagome, I now think of you has part of my pack. If it wasn't for you trying to set Kouga straight, I don't think he would have ever been mine. Thank you so much." She bowed and handed her a flower that resembled the one that she had in her hair. Kagome looked at the flower in awe and was
about to say something when Ayame said, "It isn't just a flower though, it is able to grow and be a whip and is able to slice through almost anything." Kagome smiled bigger and hugged Ayame again. Ayame smiled back and stepped back into Kouga's embrace.
Sesshomaru took a few steps forward and brought out two beautifully crafted twin katanas. "Sister, I believe that this was the only suitable weapon for you." He handed her both and she noticed that even though they were twins, they both were very different. On one katana, it had a black hilt with a silver dragon crawling up it with the kanji for dark on the dragons head. However, on the other, it hand a white hilt with a golden dragon crawling up it with the kanji for light on the dragon's head. She brought the katanas to her chest and looked at Sesshomaru with a look of pure gratitude. She gave him a hug, "Thank you, big brother." He smiled and stepped back, gently pushing Rin in front of him. He gave her a pat on the head, "Go on." Rin nodded and went up to Kagome, "Kagome-chan?" Kagome bent down and gave Rin a big hug, "Yes, Rin?" Rin smiled, "I got you this." Kagome took a small package from the child and slowly open it to see a beautiful blue tear drop choker with the kanji of love in the center. Kagome stared at the beauty of it and asked Rin to put it on her. Rin nodded and went behind her and tied it. Kagome touched the necklace and looked at Rin, "I love it Rin. It is very beautiful. Thank you so much." She pulled Rin to her and gave her a big huge. "I am so glad Kagome-chan likes it!" She saw Rin spin around and run up to Sesshomaru and take his hand.
Kagome got up and smiled a sad smile. "Momma?" She heard a small voice ask. She turned around to see Shippo standing not too far off from her. "Shippo? Come here baby." Shippo began to cry has he run up into his mother's waiting arms. He snuggled up into her arms, "I don't want you to go!" Kagome smiled, "I believe that even if I do leave, I am taking you with me." Shippo looked shocked, "Really?" He asked with hopeful eyes. Kagome nodded, "Yes. We did a blood-bond. We are joined together my sweet baby." She brushed the hair out of his face, "Nothing could pull us apart." She sighed has she set him down gently on the ground and pulled the jewel out in front of her. She sighed and looked at all of the faces of those that she now calls family. "I love all you of, and I promise to never forget."
She held her breath and squeezed the jewel, "Midoriko!" The jewel flashed bright pink blinding everyone in its wake. When it finally faded, all were in shock to see the miko of legend…Midoriko.
Kagome looked at the woman in front of her in shock, "Mi…Midoriko?" Midoriko smiled, "Yes child. I am thankful that you have put together to jewel. You have proved yourself to be a wonderful guardian." She looked into Kagome's eyes. "I see that you have a wish." She smiled when she saw Kagome's face. "Yes child. I know what it is that you want. And I also believe it to be pure and I will grant your wish." Midoriko looked at all of Kagome's friends and smiled, "You have helped make my incarnation feel at home and gave her a family. For that I am thankful." She looked at Kagome and gave a small smile. She looked back at her friends, "The wish that Kagome has made was that all of her friends would live happy lives and those lives that have been destroyed by Naraku be given a second chance at life." She looked at all the shocked faces of Kagome's friends, "She also wished that Kikyo be given her soul back so that she can live with Inuyasha in peace." Kikyo looked at Kagome and smiled and mouthed 'thank you, sister'. Kagome smiled back, 'you're welcome, sister'. Midoriko closed her eyes and did a quick chant giving her the wish. A bright flash was seen and when it faded, everyone was brought a very special surprise. Miroku looked to his side and saw his father and grandfather walking up to him. Sango and Kohaku both looked up to see their entire village alive and running to them. Kikyo felt her soul return to her and grabbed Inuyasha's hand and put it to her face, "I am alive again" Inuyasha grinned and hugged her to his body. Sesshomaru stiffened when he heard a small squeal and turned around to that Rin had been transformed into an inu demon so that she could stay with him and truly be his daughter. Kouga sniffed around and jumped around to see all of this dead clan mates running towards him laughing and alive.
Kagura was standing quietly when she saw her little sister Kanna walking up to her with life in her eyes. She smiled brightly and hugged her to her body, "Sister." Midoriko smiled softly when she looked at Shippo sitting in Kagome's arms. "It seems that you are as happy as you can be little one." Shippo smiled big and snuggled into Kagome's embrace.
Everyone smiled and looked back at Midoriko. "Now that everyone has their wish, I must return to the jewel." She turned to Kagome, "I have decided that you shall be the guardian of the Shikon-no-Tama for you have shown the purest heart and the strongest will." Kagome smiled and watched as Midoriko smiled sadly. "However, when I return to the jewel, you will have to return your era." Kagome and all the others looked on in shock, "I am sorry, but there is another task that awaits you in the present and you are the only one that will be able to confront it. I know that this is a lot to put on you at this time, Kagome, but I have faith that you will be able to conquer it all." She looked down with a motherly look. Midoriko looked back out at everyone, "She has 30 minutes. I have given you that. Please take care of her and everyone here. She loves you all dearly, and it would destroy her if you would not." With that, Midoriko slowly began to fade back into the jewel. However, when she was almost completely gone, she quickly turned to Kagome, "Oh and Shippo is allowed to stay with you." She smiled at the little fox and disappeared.
There was complete silence within the group until Kagome sighed, "I guess I should get everything together and say goodbye to Kaede." She smiled softly at all of her friends and they all followed her into the village. After saying goodbye to the village, Kagome and her friends walked to the well. Kagome turned around to face everyone, "Ugh. I didn't know how hard this would be." Tears started to flow down her cheeks, "I am going to miss everyone so much. I love you all dearly." She ran up into each of their open arms and hugged them for all she was worth. She stepped back wiping the tears from her eyes. "Thank you so much for being my family and taking such good care of me." She started towards the well, but suddenly stopped. She turned back around with a sweet smile, "Oh and before I go…SIT!" Bam! "Inuyasha. Sorry, I just had to do it one more time." She walked up to the hanyou pulling himself out of the ground. She smiled sadly and put her hands on the beads, "I am going to take these off so that you can be free," She began to pull them off when she felt clawed hands stop her. "Just what do you think you are doing?!" Inuyasha grinned, "I wanna keep them. As a reminder that there is still one person out there that can still kick my butt." Everyone laughed and she hugged him. She stepped back, "Okay, then. Watch out for him Kikyo." She winked at her and jumped in the well with Shippo and her gifts in her arms.
End Flashback…
Kagome sighed as she remembered everyone and everything that she and her friends had gone through. She sighed again and looked down at a sleeping Shippo. She smiled then looked back out the window thinking back to when she got home…
Flashback...
When Kagome jumped into the well, the familiar blue light surrounded her and Shippo. "Hang on baby." She whispered to him when she saw him shaking, "It will be okay." As she said that, the blue light faded and they softly landed at the bottom of the well. "See, everything is okay." She smiled at him. Kagome then began to climb out of the well. At the top, she heard Shippo sneeze, "Oh and Shippo, you might want to hold your breath at first. The smell might hurt your nose." Shippo looked up at her and jumped on her shoulder, "If I just stay by you, I should be okay." Kagome smiled and opened the hut door.
"Momma," Kagome yelled, "I'm home!" She walked into the house slowly taking in her surroundings and listening to see if there was anyone home. The she heard it. She heard a sharp squeal and feet running around upstairs and making their way to the bottom. Kagome smiled when she heard two sets of gasps.
"Kagome!!," Souta yelled has he ran up to her and hugged her close. Kagome smiled and looked her little brother up and down. "Wow! You are taller than me now!" Souta smiled and back away so that Kun-Loon could see her. "Momma…" Kagome sighed and embraced her mom. "Oh, Kagome, I am so glad to see you." She looked her daughter up and down and noticed that she still had all of her things in her hands. She began to look at all of the things she was carrying when she noticed a fluffy looking tail sticking out among everything. Kagome saw where her mother was looking and lifted her hand to Shippo was sleeping, "Shippo? Honey? You need to get up dear. There is someone I want you to meet." She heard a small protest and saw him slowly lift up his head to see two sets of eyes looking at him in amazement. "Momma, who are these strange people?" Kagome looked down and pointed to Kun-Loon, "Shippo, this is your grandmother," and this, she pointed to Souta, "and this is your Uncle Souta." Kun-Loon squealed and picked him up, "Aren't you just adorable!!" She cuddle him close to her face, "Oh, Kagome, he is just so cute!" Shippo looked like he was about to cry so Kagome took him from her mother's torture, "its okay baby. I will let you get back to sleep in just a second." Kagome looked at her mom, "I am going to take a bath then go to sleep okay?" She saw her mother nod and headed to her room.
Kagome sighed as she set Shippo down on her bed and began unpacking everything one by one. She went through each gift and held it close to her heart and said a quick thank you and said a prayer for each person. When she was finished she noticed a piece of paper folded up at the bottom of the bag.
"What is this?" She slowly unfolded it and noticed that it was a drawing Shippo had drawn for before she was about to leave. It had Inuyasha standing by Kikyo and Sango and Miroku standing side by side. She laughed when she noticed Miroku had a red handprint on his cheek. She noticed that even Sesshomaru, Rin, Jaken, and Kagura were in the picture. Smile softly when she saw herself holding a grinning Shippo in her arms. She smiled down at her baby boy and brushed his bangs out of his face. She sighed and stood up and got some clothes and took a bath.
She took a deep breath when she walked back into her room and laughed when she saw Shippo sprawled out on the bed. She giggled and easily picked him up and slid into the bed with him. She brushed his bangs and soon fell asleep.
Dream state…
Kagome yawned softly and looked around, "Where am I?" She took a few steps forward but stopped when she heard, "Kagome, you are in your dream state." Kagome jerked around to see none other than Midoriko herself. "Mi...Midoriko? What are you doing here?" Midoriko just smiled, "I told you that you had something you had to do in the present time." Kagome's look faltered, "Oh yea. I forgot about that…" Midoriko smiled softly, "Kagome before we begin I have something very important that I must say to you." Kagome looked at her signaling for her to continue, "Well, first off you are now an immortal because I chose you to be the guardian of the Shikon-no-Tama." She heard Kagome gasp but continued, "Also, your next task requires that you move to a small American town called Forks." Kagome looked like she wanted to ask something, but she put her hand up to stop her, "But more importantly, you are about to deal with a very dangerous species. You are about to encounter vampires." She looked at Kagome and saw that she was listening intently. Midoriko smiled, "Okay, the biggest problem is that the Voltaire, the Vampire society in Italy, is trying to destroy the bonds that
have been built between man and vampire. Someone is going against what has been passed down for centuries." She paused to look at Kagome, "So, Kagome, what I am asking of you," She got a very serious look, "I want you to go to forks, befriend the vampires currently living there, for they are being pursued by the Voltaire, and help them defeat what is now corrupt." Midoriko looked at Kagome and waited for a response. Kagome sighed, "Do I get to keep my weapons?" Midoriko smiled and nodded. Kagome grinned, "Then I guess I am in." She paused, "I do have on question though…What is so special about these vampires?" Midoriko sighed, "These vampires no longer feed off of humans but animals." Kagome looked at Midoriko with a look that said, 'that can't be all…' Midoriko sighed, "Also, one of the vampires has grown attached to a human…" Kagome was about to ask something but was cut off by what Midoriko said next, "The Voltaire has said that if the human is not changed into a vampire by the time they check, they will all be destroyed." Midoriko shuddered, "I believe that if they are killed, then the balance that has been maintained will be destroyed and all out war will break loose between the species." Midoriko finished and looked at Kagome expecting another question. Kagome tapped her chin, "Are there any other types of creatures?" Midoriko grinned, "Yes, there is. There is also the werewolf. The werewolf and the vampires are enemies and are on very dangerous grounds as of right now." Kagome gave a confused look, "Why right now?" Midoriko sighed, "Because the human that the vampires have taken a liking to also has something with the werewolves. This is causing very high tensions on everyone." Kagome sighed has she took in all the information. She shook her head, "So, you want me to go and meet with these vampires and just tell them that I am supposed to help them destroy the vampires that are out to kill them?" Kagome looked skeptical. Midoriko tapped her chin, "Well now that does sound rather strange…I guess you will have to go to school with them and slowly become friends with them that way." Midoriko grinned at Kagome's face, "I believe that you can be the foreign exchange student." Kagome sighed, "Peachy, just peachy…" Midoriko grinned, "You need to be ready to leave by the end of the week. So that gives you four days."
She began to fade, "I will be around if you need me. Just call out to me."
End Dream State…
Kagome woke up with a start, "Great. From demons to vampires. Just what I needed…"
End Flashback…
Kagome sighed again has she decided that she could she use some sleep before the plane lands.
