Chapter 1

Disclaimer: I own nothing but my own ideas.


The Hokage went quiet as he listened to Kikyo's story, about everything that happened, to why she was now a child, and Kagome was a baby. What happened was, because beforehand they were not able to kill Naraku, Midoriko was giving them another chance to do so, because she knew that he would move to a new world once he was done with Feudal Japan. That simple fact alone was enough to make Midoriko worry. She didn't want the jewel to be misused anymore than it already was, and is. But for both women to be prepared for any kind of battle with Naraku, they first had to do something that any miko would never in their life willingly do.

Become ninja, and kill other humans. It was a fact that saddened Kikyo vary greatly, but she died more than once and at least this time when she was reborn in a smaller body, and the feeling of having skin, instead of hardened soil, was a big different, and it wasn't like when she went through the small fact that she had to steal other peoples souls to survive. But, now that Inuyasha was dead, and it's not like he would've chosen her over Kagome in the first place, after Naraku is dead, all she wants is to get this over with.

"How do you plan to go to ninja school, and raise a baby at the same time?" The Hokage asked, looking at Kikyo intently.

"I don't know, if I could get someone to watch her while I'm at school would be very helpful." She said, leaning back into her chair.

"I someone that can take care of her, at least for now." The Hokage said, tilting his head to the side. "It would be for the best, at least for now."

He stood up and walked towards the door, "I'll be back in a second, and I'll go and get her,"

Kikyo nodded, and looked back down at the small figure in her arms. Soft blue eyes looked back at her questioningly before she took a lock of Kikyo's hair and twirled it around her fingers. The young five year old girl smiled delicately. Kagome would not remember anything until absolutely necessary. At least, that is what she hoped. She wanted nothing but to make sure that she had enough time to train Kagome to use the full extent of her miko powers.

She saw it as useful as well for her to learn how to use the chakra that Midoriko unlocked in both of them. Kikyo smiled softly, Kagome would be a phenomenon. Just looking at her she could realize just how much Inuyasha loved her, in her clay body, she would never compare, and even though she never told Inuyasha, nor anyone else for that matter. But her thoughts of taking him to hell dispersed, the more Inuyasha spent with this girl, the more she saw why the looks he gave her went from guilt and love to…

She let out a small sight and propped the child back up on her lap, looking into her clear blue eyes, and tilted her head. "He really loved you; you were lucky," She whispered with a smile.

She turned her head to the door as she heard it open, and in walked and tall brooding man and, from what she assumed from examining their aura's his wife. She shifted the girl in her lap more comfortable and examined the two people in front of her carefully before she gave them a small smile; her soft brown eyes shone fake happiness of a child. She stood up and bowed deeply.

"Nice to meet you," Kikyo said softly, before standing up straight and staggered a bit, the weight in her arms caught her off balance. The woman smiled softly before she walked over and bent down so she was eye level with Kikyo.

"Do you want me to take her? For your age she seems very heavy." She said, and the young girl nodded, handing the child to the dark haired woman. The weight that was gone made her feels a lot lighter and she let out a small sigh.

"This is Kikyo…" The Hokage trailed off, looking down at the girl.

"My name is Kikyo Kirashima," She said, and then gestured to her 'sister'. "And this is my little sister Kagome," she finished.

The man crossed his arms and looked down at the girl, scanning her small rugged form. He couldn't tell her strength from her half starved state. His wife nudged her husband and sighed looking down at the girl.

"I am Mikoto Uchiha, and my husband over there is Fugaku Uchiha," The woman said, "You'll be staying with us, is that okay?" Kikyo smiled and nodded, looking back and forth between the two adults in front of her. She looked back at the Hokage and he nodded, she turned back to them and sighed, and took a couple steps towards them.

She only took a couple steps before a wave of dizziness overflowed her senses. She clutched her head and buckled over, and passed out.

The now young miko was awoken by a soft light of day, her rugged hair was now smooth and clean. She opened her eyes and sat up, looking out the window. She clutched the blanket, and blinked. All she remembered from the night before was meeting her knew 'guardians'. She let out a small sigh and moved her legs over to get off the bed. She was in a soft red kimono; it was really simple, made for sleeping. She slid her feet into the slippers and got off the bed, her long unbound hair flowed around her body, dwarfing her small body. She let out a small, annoyed sigh. She didn't want to cut it, but she guessed that she would have to eventually, at least so it looked naturally on her height. She looked around before she left the room, she would make a better inspection later, but for now she wanted to know where Kagome was.

She walked down the hall, heading towards the room with the biggest numbers of aura's one of which was Kagome's. She let out a small, audible sigh before she opened the door towards the main room. There she saw two small babies and Mikoto, beside her sat a silent looking little boy. She guessed this was her sons.

"Good morning," She said, kneeling down in front of her, looking around the room curiously. Mikoto looked up from cooing at the babies to see that the young girl was glowing from a good rest.

"Nice to see you're finally moving," she said, smiling. Kikyo gave a small smile back and sighed, and got into a more comfortable position on the floor. Kagome immediately crawled over and plopped herself in Kikyo's crossed legs. She looked down and raised an eyebrow. She just let out a small sigh and rubbed her head soothingly.

"I wasn't asleep for that long was asleep anyways?" Kikyo asked curiously, not looking up from Kagome, she had her small baby like hands wrapped around one of her fingers.

"About a week," Mikoto said with a small laugh.

"Seriously? I must have been a lot tired then I thought I was then," Kikyo said.

"You just kept on sleeping and sleeping, it got to the point where I thought you wouldn't wake up." Mikoto said, making a gesture in the air. Her soft motherly smile was plastered on her face. "Oh yeah, that reminds me," She said, gesturing to the silent boy beside her, "This is my oldest son, Itachi, and the baby that's sleeping is Sasuke." She said, a small smile on her lips. Kikyo looked up from Kagome and looked carefully at Itachi, and then Sasuke.

"Nice to meet you Itachi-san," She said casually, and then looked at the baby. "They both look a lot like you Mikoto-san." She said, tilting her head.

"Oh really?" She said, a smile plastered on her face. Kikyo nodded and looked back between the two boys again.

"And I have a feeling their personalities are going to be similar too." She said, practically almost her herself. She shook her head, her hair fell around her shoulders. "Oh that reminds me, do you have a hair tie? Or is possible to trim my hair a bit?" She asked, blowing the hair out of her face.

"Of course, give me a second!" Mikoto said and stood up, plopping Sasuke in Itachi's lap. The young boy just looked at the baby in his lap, almost in a daze. Kikyo tilted her head at the emotionless boy. She imagined a time where she was like that, emotionless even to her little sister Kaede. She sighed and shook her head, looking back down at Kagome.

"Why do you look like you're in so much pain?" Itachi asked. Kikyo tensed and looked up.

"Nani?" She asked, tilting her head.

"Why do you look like you've seen much more then you let on?" He asked again, Sasuke just looked up at him with blank eyes before his dark black eyes turned to Kikyo.

"I don't want to talk about it, a lot of just.., annoying complications I don't want to get into," She said and looked up at him under her bangs. She felt lucky when Mikoto chose that time to come back with a hair tie.

"Here you go Kikyo-chan." She said handing the girl a hair tie.

"Arigatou Mikoto-san," She said, and brought her hair back, tying it up into a tight ponytail.

Kagome grabbed onto her fingers again, looking at them with curiosity. She now could not grab onto her long hair, so she settled for her fingers. She smiled sadly, feeling the pain scrunch in her chest. Once this mission that Midoriko wanted them to do, she wanted to rest in peace.

For good this time.
