As for Kagome's group they had everything back and more, Kikyo was alive and well and wasn't the resurrected dead, Inuyasha had been turned human because if it hadn't been for Naraku Kikyo would have turned him human because he wanted to live his life with her. Inuyasha had felt guilty about how he had acted toward Kagome and told Kikyo he was going to wait till Kagome came back to thank her personally. Sango had gotten her brother and the whole village back, along with her parents, Miroku even got his father back because it had been Naraku curse that had swallowed him whole, of course their wind tunnels were gone. Each and every one of them hurt for Kagome, and in some way felt guilty for not being able to protect Kagome in the fight so they sat and waited for Kagome. Sesshomaru had fallen asleep in the early morning hours, but Kagome started tossing and turning in his arms. Sesshomaru immediately woke up,

"Miko, calm yourself, you are well, you are not harmed in any way," Sesshomaru lowly. Kagome looked up into his smoldering golden orbs, she suddenly relaxed, she saw something pulling at her through his eyes, she didn't know what it was but she felt comforted, she felt at least a little peace, Kagome reached up to his marking on his forehead, she pulled away a little, thinking he didn't like to be touched for some reason, but after a minute her hand continued to move forward, her nimble fingers gentle as a soft summer breeze swept his bangs away from his forehead and there was a crescent moon. She gasped but closed her mouth slowly as she ran her finger over the night mark,

"Its beautiful," Kagome whispered, Sesshomaru closed his eyes, for once in his life he didn't know how to feel that someone was touching him without permission, he never liked to be touched although it was fine when his ward was always pulling on him, she was a human child and didn't really know any better but he had tried to teach her about respecting him better and still her energetic free spirit most of the time took control of her and he hadn't had the heart to break her little spirit. Sesshomaru kept his eyes closed till she was finished touching his marking of the house of moon,

"This Sesshomaru will take you back to the village now," Sesshomaru slowly standing with her still in his arms, Kagome struggled, but Sesshomaru held her firmly to him,

"Calm yourself, we shall not enter the hut," Sesshomaru knowing that was what her problem was, there was not enough room and too many weird strangers for her to actually try to feel at ease. Kagome calmed a little after he explained that to her, but he could feel her still tensed,

"This Sesshomaru is grateful for your selfless wish," Sesshomaru keeping his head up and his eyes looking out in front of him, Kagome looked up at him,

"This Kagome, is grateful for what you did for her last night," Kagome thinking that it was correct to talk like he had, he stopped and glanced down at her,

"You shall not talk like this Sesshomaru, it is not proper for humans," Sesshomaru confused to why she thought it was proper,

"Then tell this Kagome how to talk," Kagome answered, with her arms around his neck,

"My ward will explain to you how humans communicate," Sesshomaru starting toward the village again,

"Are you talking about the little girl Rin?" Kagome asked,

"Yes, she is apart of this Sesshomaru's pack, you will become apart of his pack till you have your memories back, then you will decide of which choice of action to take," Sesshomaru strongly.

"Which choice of action to take?" Kagome confused,

"That is enough talk for now miko, you will do well not to have too much information thrown at you right now," Sesshomaru explained as he walked toward the small light that he could barely see ahead of him.

"Tell me, Lord Sesshomaru, how does one act in your pack?" Kagome asked,

"You shall show no weakness, pride and honor is to be upheld at all cost," Sesshomaru only telling her a little to see how she would react to her friends with this information. Kagome nodded, she wriggled in his arms, Sesshomaru again held her firm, giving her a glare,

"Put this Kagome down, I don't want them to see me weak, and she can walk, she just has no recollection of anything, does not have anything to do with her legs," Kagome strongly. He could still see her trembling a little, Sesshomaru gently stood her to her feet, he held her waist for a minute to get her ground,

"Miko, you still tremble, do not show fear to anyone, they will not hesitate to kill you and rival in killing you, they will enjoy it more if you show them your fear, it is a useless emotion and will get you killed, it shows them how weak you really are," Sesshomaru strongly. By the time Sesshomaru had finished explaining it to Kagome, her trembling had ceased completely,

"Right," Kagome strongly, she walked beside Sesshomaru through the woods and down past the well.

~Hmm, maybe this human would do well as a pack member, should you teach her, she may become…~ Sesshomaru's beast trying to put thoughts in Sesshomaru's head,

~No, this human is not going to have a permanent place as a pack member, she will remember where she is from, we will help her…she has no place here and will be killed among the yokai.~ Sesshomaru growled a little. Kagome glanced up at him, to his surprise she didn't tremble, but he could scent her fear a little,

~But the jewel its forever gone now, she is not at any risk, and she has powers, let her train with the old woman, she will become a valuable assess to this pack.~ his beast trying to persuade his master, this time Sesshomaru's eyes turned red a little, his growl radiating from his chest,

"Very impressive Lord Sesshomaru," Kagome's words shaking a little, Sesshomaru didn't seem to hear her, he was too much focused on his beast,

~You will not ask this Sesshomaru again, this miko does not belong in this time! She will not be an assess of any kind to this Sesshomaru's pack, you will do best to reside back in your place.~ Sesshomaru dominating his own beast. Finally Sesshomaru came back to earth sort of speak, he stood staring Kagome down,

"Are you well Lord Sesshomaru?" Kagome asked, Sesshomaru nodded once and walked passed her toward the village, Kagome felt something pull at her though, she stopped and looked back at the old well, it seemed to sing out to her, Sesshomaru found her stopping, he turned,

"It is just an old dried up well miko, come, we shall return to Rin and leave for this Sesshomaru's home," Sesshomaru walking away, Kagome slowly turned and ran to catch up with Sesshomaru. Once they hit the village Inuyasha ran out to greet them,

"What the hell are ya doing doing with Kagome?" Inuyasha shouted,

"Calm yourself brother, we are here for Rin," Sesshomaru glancing at Kagome, she was holding her ground well, he inwardly smirked,

"Kagome, are ya alright?" Inuyasha asked, he checked her all over,

"Yes, this Kagome is fine," Kagome responded strongly and coolly, Inuyasha picked up on how she was talking,

"What the hell? Ya brainwashed her, now she's talking like ya? And she smells like you, ya bastard, how dare you take Kagome when she cant remember anything!" Inuyasha about to pull his sword out,

"Little brother, you will calm yourself now, this Sesshomaru has not done as you assume," Sesshomaru glancing toward the hut, Rin came running out,

"Lord Sesshomaru, I thought you forgot about Rin," Rin hugging his legs,

"This Sesshomaru would do no such thing," Sesshomaru patting her on the head, Sango and the rest of the gang came out to greet Kagome, Sesshomaru glanced at Kagome again, she looked like a piece of steel, he could smell her tension from where he stood but he didn't smell fear and she wasn't trembling,

~She has learned well.~ Sesshomaru thought. Sango went to hug her, Kagome put her hand out to stop her,

"Kagome, you still don't remember?" Sango starting to cry.

"I'm sorry, this Kagome does not remember your face," Kagome again without any emotion of any kind,

"You're my best friend, your like my sister, we wanted to thank you for whatever wish you wished on the jewel, you gave us everything back, I got my brother back and my village," Sango smiling through her tears,

"I'm Miroku Lady Kagome, you gave me my hand back and my father, and now I will finally ask this lovely Sango to be my wife," Miroku smiling as he glanced at Sango, she blushed.

"I'm Inuyasha…you gave me…you gave me my love Kikyo back to me and granted me a human life so I could be with Kikyo," Inuyasha glancing back at his brother. Kagome felt a pang of pain in her chest, Sesshomaru smelt it, he looked at her to see if she would react to it, she stood tall and proud.

"You are all welcome, now I think this Kagome and Lord Sesshomaru shall be leaving," Kagome explained,

"But mama, what about me?" a little choppy voice asked, Kagome searched out the voice and found that it had come from the little kitsune, he was crying, she bent down to his level,

"Did the wish not give you anything?" Kagome asked,

"No, Naraku didn't kill my parents, they were killed by another demon," Shippo sobbed, Kagome glanced up at Sesshomaru, he nodded,

"You shall come with this Kagome, you will become one of the pack members," Kagome scooping him up gently.

"I love you mama," Shippo rubbing on her cheek and kissing her cheek, Kagome looked at him funny,

"Its okay mama, I know you don't understand what that is right now but I know you love me back, you have shown me," Shippo sitting up on her shoulder, Sesshomaru walked away, Rin followed, and Kagome watched and her feet followed after them.

"Kagome, are you not returning home?" Inuyasha shock,

"No, this Kagome does not have a home that she is aware of, goodbye Inuyasha," Kagome strongly. Her friends watched her leave with the stoic lord and it was silence, but they could hear each other's heart breaking in cold winter air.
