Thank you guys for the support! I love you guys! Also I'm sorry if this chapter isn't long I've been sick since Sunday D: I'm ganna die... Also about the story in this chapter or the next I will bring Naraku in as a potential love interest.


It had been nearly 3 days and they were only about a day travel to the north. Then maybe another day and a half of travel until the castle. Kagome sighed. Walking next to Uh-un who despite what you might think was a great conversationalist at least he was when you knew the Dragon-yokai language. Looking over Kagome let a smile spread across her face as she growled soft not in warning or threat but to get his attention. Giving a light huff the dragon turned one head towards her. She laughed then started to speak fluently in the almost dead language. It unnerved the others how easily she spoke with the dragon. How casual she was about it as if speaking with animals was something normal people did. Suddenly she got very quiet and that only unnerved them even more. Stopping she spoke before quickly departing.

"Hey guys I'll be back later.." She turned spreading her wings and quickly taking to the air flying several miles to the east and landing in a clearing. Cracking her neck she growled out. "Show your self spider.." She wasn't stupid so she wasn't ganna let he spider trail them to her home and attack. He strode into the clearing not adorning his usual baboon pelt. A sign it wasn't a puppet.

"Hmm.. How are you dear Kagome?" He was either trying to creep her out or remind her of pedophile...or both.

"Fine thanks for asking... Why are you trailing my pack?" She looked him dead in the eyes not fearing him at all.

"Your ora had changed to something of a being with actual strength. I wanted to see if it were true that you weren't human." He took a step closer but stopped when she narrowed her eyes and her felt the earth shift.

"Don't even... Though it is true I'm not a human I'm a dragoness..." She spoke. Watching him carefully. Keeping her yokai and rekai spread threw the earth so if he tried to attack she would know ahead of time.

"One of rare breed if I'm correct." He was awfully chatty today.

"Yea what of it? Why do you care isn't your plan to kill me and my pack collect the shards of the jewel and ultimately take over the world?" Kagome snapped at the infernal half breed.

"Yes but the rarest of creatures are of the most beautiful..." He left as quickly as he had come. Leaving Kagome to wonder what had just happened. Had he complemented her? Did he like her? Eww no he was just trying to get under her skin...and he had. Turning to leave Kagome began to pull back her powers, but stops when she realizes her pack had changed course to head her direction. They probably sensed Naraku once the got closer. Shaking her head still uneasy. Kagome took off towards them. Finding them within ten minutes. Landing swiftly she gave them all a questioning look. Almost to ask why they changed direction.

"Lady Kagome are you ok? Lord Sesshomaru said he could sense Naraku with you and we were worried there might be a battle occurring." Kagome was touched they were worried.

"Or you were conspiring with him.." Came a very irritating voice. Kagome didn't have time to retort before she watched not only Sango, but also Kikyo hit him in the back of the head. Shaking hers she tilted her nose to the air and took in a big sniff. Her smile widening.

"There's a village about half a days travel to the north." She turned in that direction. Starting off toward the village that was on the boarder of the west and north. A village her and her mother traveled to often.

"Hell no! We are not going there!" Inuyasha looked as though he was going to have a heart attack.

"Look Inuyasha things are done differently in the North for one Everyone...Everyone is equal...No one is underestimated...And no one is put down for their heritage or species... Also the manner of dress is so different its almost a new world... Women are empowered, treated like flowers, have almost more of a say in politicks then men do and therefore we dress like we don't care who we are with because we don't." Everyone went silent except for Sango who started asking a lot of questions along with Kikyo.

"We don't have to change how we dress right?" Sango asked nervously

"I don't think I'm comfortable in anything but my Miko garb.." Kikyo mumbled.

"I'm sorry but I'm afraid you will have to... Not as much on your part Sango but most priestesses in the north dress in something slightly similar to what your wearing" Kagome placed a hand on the panicking woman. "Don't worry I wont give you anything you wont be comfortable with...But trust me it will be easier if we all look and act like we are royalty...of the north... You are after all my pack and there for extended relatives of the Northern family." (She had to specify) had just explained a lot. ALOT!

"Oh...ok.." Kikyo smiled. "I guess it'll be good to have some change after I don't know how long!" She laughed. Not one of those fake half hearted laughs, but a real laugh.

"Yea I guess so" Sango giggled.

"See keep taking it all in stride and laughing threw hard times and you'll fit in better than me and that's were I'm from!" Kagome joined in. Hugging both girls and not even realizing that Inuyasha had retorted and was waiting for a reply.

"So I'm chopped meat now?!" He huffed. Drawing giggles from all three females. They decided to set up camp a little early and leave just as early.

Later that night.

"Kagome..." It was a whisper. Barely audible to her ears. So she knew the others couldn't hear that was probable the Inu's point.

"Yes Sesshomaru?" She replied not moving from her spot watching the group.

"What is the true reason we are going to this village? Isn't it going to take us off trail..." He made a point but..

"Yea it will only a little...but they need this a change of cloths and scenery will be good for them.." Kagome knew that wasn't it but she could only hope he couldn't smell the disseat.

"Your not telling the truth.." He mumbled and as she peered across the camp almost able to see his glowing yellow eyes peering at her. She sighed. Thinking for a moment.

"My mother used to bring me here a lot, because no one here cares for status everyone is family...everyone is treated the same...I've seen lords come and think they can take a woman for there own harem but the village slays them. Protecting their own. Because this village is not cut in half by the north and west like most believe this is the land that was never claimed and shall not be claimed..." Kagome looked to the moon. "By bringing them to a place so free... its as close as I'll get to showing them were I lived for most of my life as a human." She looked back only to see nothing and feel nothing. Or have gained a response. Sighing she reached out with her yokai to check once more for threats.
