Recap from previous Chapter;
"Well I'm assuming that Buffy is your slayer and Willow and Xander are Human, I'm wondering what Spike is?" I ask my Uncle in front of the group who all look at me with surprise.
"Well... how did you know all of that Kagome?" Willow asks me.
"Her aura is very a powerful human, yours and Xander's are human, but his type of aura I've never incountered before." I answer her.
"I'm a Vampire luv', a 200 year old Master Vampire." He drawls with a british accent.
"That explains part of it then, but I must confess that the Billy Idol look has been dead for more than ten years Spike." I say with a grin to the gaping Vampire.
"Giles I think your niece will fit right into the 'Scooby group'." Buffy replies with a grin when Spike growls at me.
Chapter 2
"Willow you said that you needed help identifying a demon?" Uncle Rupe says dryly.
"Sure, it's this way Giles." Willow says while leading us over about 10 to 15 foot from where the group is standing.
I feel Spike glareing at my back as I walk over to where Willow is leading us. I notice the aura we're approaching is slowly getting stronger, allmost as if it was regenerating it's life source. Uncle Rupe stops in front of me, so I step around him to get a better look at it only to realize that its some sort of canine youkai. Willow is right about it constantly changeing because it keeps morphing from a humanoid to a youkai form, but she's wrong about it being dead. I step closer to it and gently flare my purifying aura in its direction, and as I expected it opened its eyes and looks at me in amazement and recognition as it tries to rise up.
+So you are the ancient mythical Miko, the one who is the guardian of 'the jewel of 4 souls'.+ It speaks in a soft voice.
+How do you know of me and of the jewel?+ I ask it quietly.
+My clan has been searching for you for century's+ He says quietly to me.
+That still doesn't answer my question's? And why have you been searching for me for century's?+ I ask.
+Because our Lord has asked us to find you for him, he wishes to see you again My Lady Miko.+ He says.
+Who is your Lord and Master, and why does he want to see me again?+ I ask him.
+My Lord is Lord Sesshoumaru, and he says that he owes you a life debt that he needs to repay.+ He tells me.
+Lord Sesshoumaru is still alive? Where is he?+ I ask him quickly.
+He is on this continent My Lady Miko.+ He says softly.
+Another question for you, what were you doing here tonight when you were attacked?+ I ask him.
+Nothing where I deserved to be attacked for My Lady, my clan brothers and I just stopped here to discuss whether we should move to the next town or stay here for a few more day's searching for you, when all of the sudden the 2 blondes came out of the darkness and started attacking me and my clan brothers. I told them to run for the safety of the rest of the clan.+ He says quickly.
+Why didn't you run with them?+
+And have the blondes catch all 3 of us and try to kill us, besides the two who were with me are still youngling's. 2 who have just started leaving the safety of our Lords lands. I decided that if any of us had to die tonight it would be me who has lived a long life serving our Lord Sesshoumaru.+ He says quietly to me.
+That was a very noble deed that you did here tonight, you were willing to sacrifice yourself so that the 2 youngling's could live. Your Lord will be proud of you. Please excuse me as I speak to my Uncle and the other 4.+ I tell him quietly and wait until he nods his head in my direction.
I turn to my Uncle and the other four to see them watching me in amazement. I turn to look at Buffy and Spike with an angry look on my face apparently from their reaction's.
"What gives you 2 the right to attack this being?" I ask them in a monotone.
"They're demon's, and that's what a slayer does. We slay demons before they try to take over the planet." Buffy replies with a tone as if she is addressing a slow witted child.
"So your saying all demons deserved to be destroyed, just because they're demons?" I ask in a monotone.
"That's what slayer's do, we slay demons because demons are evil." She replies cockily.
"Then you are a fool Buffy, demons are like humans. There are some good and bad in both species Buffy. And you wonder why some demon species despise humans just because they are human, when you do the same to them." I say in an angry monotone.
"Kagome what did it say to you to make you so mad?" Uncle Rupe asks me quickly.
"Only that he and his two young companions were resting and discussing whether to stay here for a few more days or whether to move to the next town to see if they could complete their mission for their leader when they were attacked suddenly and for no reason. He sent the 2 younglings away so they wouldn't be hurt in the fight. Uncle Rupe they were attacked by Buffy and Spike just because they decided to stop and rest, and not because they were doing anything wrong. Just because they are demons you decide to try to kill him and 2 young children. How very noble of the 2 of you, to try and kill a couple of innocent children who had hurt nobody!" I say as I start stomping toward the pair of them.
My Uncle must be assuming that I mean to do violence toward the pair because he grabs me by my shoulders and pulls me toward him. He turns me to face him and he gives me a calming hug and holds me until I do calm down a bit.
"Kagome what I want to know is how you understood him, what type of language was that?" Willow asks me.
"It's an ancient Youkai language that I learned a few years ago from the leader of his clan, I am apparently the reason they were here to begin with. They have been looking for me for awhile, because their leader feels as if he owe's me a debt." I answer Willow calmly.
"Youkai language? Doesn't the word Youkai translate into the word Demon Kagome?" My Uncle asks me.
"Yes it does, but unfortunately it was originally mistranlated centurys ago." I tell him.
"How was it mistranslated Kagome?" Willow asks.
"Because Demons and Youkai are as different as humans and vampire's. Demons are more typically evil where most Youkai aren't, Youkai's are more closely related to humans than demons could ever hope to be." I answer her.
"My question for you Kagome is how you have become involved with them to begin with?" My Uncle asks me.
"Let's just say that the last few years have been very busy for me Uncle Rupe. I've been basically on a quest for the last 3 and a 1/2 years. Searching for pieces of the 'Shikon No Tama', so for the last few years I've been travalling with a group that had Youkai, Hanyou, and Humans in it, and all of us had the commen goal of saving people from being hurt or killed. I've made friends with a lot of Youkai and Hanyou over the last few years and I have fought against a lot of them as well. And I have learned something in that time Buffy, something that I hope you that you have the ability to learn. Not all Youkai, Hanyou, and demons are the same, and not all of them are evil." I tell her calmly.
"I agree with you Kagome, and you should too Buffy. You've seen it yourself with Angel and with Spike, because if you always did what you claimed earlier you would have done your best to kill both of them because they are Vampire's." Willow says quickly.
"Look I'm sorry that I hurt someone you say is innocent and I never meant to harm a child, but how was I to know that they weren't plotting to hurt people? It's not like I can understand what they were saying, I just took one look at them and I assumed that they were up to no good. So I'm sorry that I hurt him, will you translate my apology to him Kagome?" Buffy asks me.
I nod my head to her and I turn and bend down so I can look him in his eye's and I hold my hand out to him so that I can do my best to heal his worst injury's. He quickly grasps what I'm attempting to do to help him and he gently take's my hand.
I quickly draw out my healing ability and quickly heal his worst wounds, after I finish he stands up on his own 2 feet and bows lowly to me in thanks after he releases my hand.
+My eternal Thanks Lady Kagome for doing me the honor of healing me.+ He says gently.
+You do not need to thank me, it was because of me that you weren't safe with your clan . The female blonde is the slayer, but she wishes to submit her apologies for her part in the attack against you. She doesn't know the difference between a Youkai and a Demon apparently, and from her brief experiance with Demons she foolishly believes that all of them are evil. And I also need to submit my own apologies to you as well. I would also ask you for your clan's name and for your personal name?+
+I accept your apologies My Lady, I am part of the Shinto Clan, my Clan is a subspecies of inuyoukai My Lady. And you may call me by the name of Kiro My Lady.+ He says as he bows low to me.
I incline my head in acknowledgement to his courtliness, in which he responded with a broad smile.
+Do you know how I may Contact Lord Sesshoumaru?+ I ask him quietly.
+He will be here as soon as I report of your arrival to the area My Lady.+ He says softly.
+Please convey my best wishes to him and to your clan, I assume that you will be going to find your errant youngling's first?+ I ask.
+They are headed straight for the safety of the clan My Lady, and with most of my wounds healed I should catch up with them before they arrive home. I ask for your permission to leave your presence My Lady Kagome.+ He asks softly.
+Permission granted Kiro, but before you go. can you tell me how Lord Sesshoumaru and his heir is?+ I ask him softly.
+He and his son are in excellant health my Lady, young Lord Logan is as great of a warrior as his father is. And he fortunately takes after his mother in coloring and personality. He is very warm and kind hearted to all of his Fathers subjects, and thats no way implying that he is weak because the young Lord is much stronger in reality than his Father is when it comes to battle strength. My clan believes that he also inherited his Mothers strength of spirit.+ He says while looking at me with a knowing smile on his face.
+So you know who Lord Logans Mother is then?+ I ask him in a quiet voice.
+How could I not know My Lady Kagome, he has your coloring. gentleness, and kind spirit. Along with his Fathers battle skills, wisdom, and build.+ He says gently to me.
+So he favors both of his parents? Do you believe that he will come with Lord Sesshoumaru when he comes to see me?+ I ask him.
+Yes to both questions My Lady, everyone knows that he's been eagerly searching for you all of these years. He so wants to get know you better My Lady, he does have memories of you.+ He says quietly to me.
+How can he still have memories of me Kiro, he was so young when I was forcefully brought back to my time for good.+ I say sadly.
+He has his memories of you, and everyone who knew you then has told him the storys of your adventures. Your child has unfortunately grown up without you in his life through no fault of yours, but your memory has been kept alive to him.+ He says gently to me.
+I guess you should be on your way, I wish you a safe journey to your clan, and I hope to get to know you better in the future Kiro. And Thankyou for telling me about my child and his well being.+ I say to him softly with a smile.
+I am the honored one My Lady Kagome, mayhap My Lord will allow me to become your personal bodyguard? Goodbye My Gentle Lady Kagome.+ He says gently as he turns away and suddenly disappears from sight.
I stand there watching Kiro leave, and I silently Thank him once again for bringing me news of my son. My child who hasn't seen me since he was allmost 2 years old, I wonder how my Uncle will react when he finds out about Logan, and I wonder how this group will react when they learn the truth. I guess I will find that out soon enough.
"Kagome how did he heal so quickly from his wounds and how did he disappear so fast?" Buffy asks me.
"His wounds healed quickly partly because he is Youkai and partly because I healed the worst of them for him. The reason he disaapeared so quickly is because he is a sub-species of Inuyoukai who are known for their speed, strength, and fighting ability's." I answer as I feel his aura getting further and further away.
"What's an Inuyoukai?" Willow asks.
"Loosely translated it means Dog-Demon." Uncle Rupe reply's to her.
---Spike---
"Kagome how did he heal so quickly from his wounds and how did he disappear so fast?" Buffy asks.
"His wounds healed quickly partly because he is Youkai and partly because I healed the worst of them for him. The reason he disaapeared so quickly is because he is a sub-species of Inuyoukai who are known for their speed, strength, and fighting ability's." She answers as looks into the distance.
"What's an Inuyoukai?" Willow asks.
"Loosely translated it means Dog-Demon." Giles answers her.
I stare at her, trying to figure her out. I notice that she's starting to slightly sway on her feet, suddenly she's falling toward the ground. I quickly run and catch her before she can hit the ground, I then swing her up into my arm's and look at the old man who is watching me intently while I have his niece in my arms.
"What? Should I have let her hit the ground instead?" I ask him angrily with a snarl.
"Thank you for catching her Spike." He replies to me.
"Why did she faint though Giles?" Red asked.
"The only thing I can think of is between her trip and her healing the youkai she's physically exhausted. What I am wondering how ever is how was she able to heal him to begin with?" He asks no one in particular.
"Could she be a witch like Willow is G-Man?" Zapper asks.
"I honestly don't have a clue Xander, this is the first time I have seen her since before I came here to Sunnydale." He answers the whelp.
"But the question is Giles, is she just able to heal Youkai's or is she able to heal anyone? Because if she can heal anyone then she would be invaulable to us." Buffy says to everyone.
I growl at all of them, because they apparently know nothing about Japanese mythology. Because from what I personally know about it I would have to say that she is a Miko and has the legendary powers to heal and to purify.
"What was the growl for Spike?" Red asks me.
"Because you blokes apparently know nothing of Japanese culture and mythology." I reply to her.
"What do you mean by that Spike?" Slutty asks me.
"Because she is obviously a Miko and a powerful one at that." I reply with a sneer at their ignorance.
"What is a Miko, and what type of powers do they possess?" Red asks me.
"A Miko is what we would call a Priestass Willow, and according to Japanese Mythology they were the teachers, healers, and protector's of their villages in the fuedal era. But they are just a myth though, how could Kagome be one with power's?" Giles asks the group,
