Prologue:

Everyone was gathered on the battlefield. This was the moment that everyone was waiting for. The final battle for the Shikon no Tama. Kagome's mind was calm, she was ready.

-Flashback-

Three months before the final battle. At this time there is only Kouga's shards, Kagome's and Naraku's left.

"Yasha, I'm going to the hot springs to bathe." Kagome told him as she gathered her bathing supplies.

"Fine. Just don't take forever." Inuyasha growled back. "No need to be huffy dear." Kikyo stated. By this time Kikyo had joined the group. Kagome had never really hated her and she had come to see Inuyasha as more of an annoying brother. At the same time Inuyasha had come to see her as a sister.

The Inu tachi had set up camp for the night. Shippo was asleep as was Kirara. Inuyasha and Kikyo were up in a tree. Miroku and Sango were off to one side of the camp. Rin was asleep next to Shippo, while Jaken and Ah-Un were asleep a little ways off. Sesshomaru was keeping watch in another tree. Koro was standing by Kagome ready to follow her. Koro was a neko as well. Kagome had found him on one of her trips through the well. She was visiting her mother and passed by a pet shop, when she had felt a demonic aura. When she investigated she found the neko with a concealment spell in a pet shop and decided to buy it.

Sango had taken to training Kagome in hand to hand about two years into her adventure. It turns out Kagome was a quick study and it soon came to the point where Kagome could no longer learn anything more from Sango. After her training was complete she had received a charm from Sango, a mini version of the famous bone boomerang.

Miroku had trained her in the art of sutras and using the staff. She had mastered his training as well. She also received a small staff charm from him as well. Kikyo had trained her in archery, and received a bow charm. Kaede had trained Kagome in channeling her miko powers as well as having her learn all of the herbs and various plant life that would be beneficial for her to know.

Sesshomaru had adopted her into the family through a blood bond. The blood bond gave her a crescent moon on her forehead as well as the ability to do the acid whip. Training with Sesshomaru was no cake walk. The charm that he gave her was a crescent moon infused with his youki, which enabled him to get to her quickly should the need arise.

All of these charms were found on a necklace that Kagome never took off. Each of these charms when imbued with her spiritual powers took to a usable form. Kagome no longer needed physical arrows as she could form them with her miko powers.

-Mini Flashback-

"Are you a neko? How did you get here?" Kagome murmured to the neko after bringing him home.

"Aye, I am a neko. My name is Koro and Midiriko sent me for you. She said you would be able to sense me.

"Well alright. I'm going to have to take you to the Feudal Era with me, that is if you don't mind." Kagome stated.

"That is the reason I was sent."

-End of mini Flashback-

"Are you going to join me Sango, Kikyo?" Kagame asked them.

They both had replied that she could go by herself. During her trip to bathe a bright light came before her.

Kagome tensed and was ready to defend herself if need be.

"Be calm. I am not going to attack you." the stranger stated.

"That's what they all say and then I find myself kidnapped and almost married off to complete strangers." Kagome replied.

"Ah, yes I have seen this. Fear not I am her to train you in the art of the sword my otome."

By this time the light had faded and in its place stood Inutaisho.

"Weren't you dead."

"Yes. I have been given another chance at life and have come to aid you." He replied with a sigh.

"You know this is going to create a stir in the camp."

"You are not to tell my sons that I have returned. I will reveal myself at the appropriate time."

"Okay. So sword training."

"Yes." As he stated this he handed her a sword that was glowing white. "This is a miko sword that was Midiriko's and she wanted you to have it."

"You know for being dead you guys certainly work a lot." She replied with a grin. "I guess there really is no rest in peace."

"Alright let us begin." Inutaisho stated.

Thus began the rigorous training with Inutaisho. Once the training was completed she had shrank the sword into a charm that could be worn on her necklace. Inutaisho showed himself to the rest of the group a month after Kagome completed her training. Needless to say that was a chaotic day.

A month before the final battle was to ensue. The group had freed Kanna, Hakudoshi, and Kagura. Kagura took to training Kagome with tessens (ninja fans). Upon that training completion she received a tessen charm. Needless to say Kagome had her own arsenal, that was very easy to conceal.

-End Flashback-

Those present on the battlefield included Sango, Kiara, Miroku, Inuyasha, Kikyo Sesshomaru (he eventually joined the band of misfits), Kouga and his pack, Ayame, Inutaisho (he was brought back) and Kagome. Kanna, Kohaku, Hakudoshi, Shippo ,Rin, along with Jaken are back at Edo with Kaede, so that they can stay safe.

All was silent on the battlefield. And then it began. The battle lasted for two days and they were victorious. The Shikon was complete and Kagome knowing that there was no such thing as a selfless wish, stated this to all those present. The moment she did Midiriko appeared and had said that she was correct and that by her knowing this the Kamis were going to grant her deepest wish and of course Kagome being Kagome wanted everyone's happiness. Sango had her village and family back. Miroku his father, Inuyasha got his mother back, Kikyo became human. Shippo was already happy and just wanted to stay with Kagome. Thus everyone was happy and each went on their ways. Kouga mated Ayame and stated that Kagome would always be a welcome member of their pack and then set out back to his lands.

Sango and Miroku went to live in the village and they were to be married two months later. Kohaku went to live with them as well. The rest of the group went to the Western lands. The well was still operable, it turns out that whomever Kagome wanted to let through she could. It was on a certain trip to the well that she had a revelation, a revelation that would lead to a great destiny whether she wanted it or not.
