Miroku turned just in time to see Inuyasha slash her with a hand covered with dark energy. Miroku ran to him and plunged his hand into inuyasha's chest and stabbed his heart instantly killing him. He ran to kagome to see if she was alright and was glad to see her powers trying to purify the curse that had been placed upon her.
Kagome's P.O.V
I was floating in an empty nothingness when I heard a voice.
'I can save you child. But there will be some side effects.'
'What do you mean save me?'
'Inuyasha has placed a curse on you that will kill you, but I can save you.'
'Okay then what about these so called side effects?'
'There will be a few changes to you, nothing major.'
'Who are you?'
'It is I, Midoriko.'
'Alright save me.'
'It will take a while for the side-effects to appear but you will be saved.'
'Thank you. I am forever grateful.'
'Think of it as a thank you from a friend. One more thing the jewel has been liberated from that evil hanyou and we would like to return to your body.'
'Who freed you?'
'It was lord Sesshomaru. He found Naraku in his moment of weakness and killed him. We are here child, we are now settled the piece of your soul that was missing will be replaced by the jewel and kikiyo will live as she is right now until she dies then that part that is now hers will rest. We cannot return it to you because it has stayed with kikiyo so much that it has merged with her completely. We apologize.'
'It fine, all is forgiven.'
You can wake up now, and don't forget that if you need any advice you just have to call us. Have a good adventure kagome.'
'Miroku's P.O.V.'
I watched in amazement as the Shikon jewel floated and entered Kagome's chest. She glowed for a second then took a deep breath and opened her eyes.
"Sister is you alright? What happened?"
"It seems Sesshomaru killed Naraku." She explained everything that Midoriko told her. I was worried about the side effects but I knew that she would be fine. Akira was worried that she wouldn't wake up but I guess that he is fine now since he just attacked kagome with a hug.
"Let's find somewhere to stay. I tire of the forest." Kagome sighed. I noticed her voice was lower than it normally was but I did not let the thought linger.
We gathered our things and the boys poofed onto our skin and we began our journey to look for a place to sleep.
"Normal P.O.V."
They walked till they reached a lords palace. The guards stopped them and they requested permission to see their lord to request a place to stay. They were granted permission by the young lord of the manor. It seemed as if the young lord had come to power since his father had retired. He was nice and fair but kagome noticed something, he kept looking at miroku. Kagome squealed and laughed and when Akira asked what she was so happy about she answered him.
'It seems that the young lord is paying special attention to miroku.'
She looked at the lord and bowed
"Thank you my lord for allowing my brother and I a place to stay. We are kagome and miroku."
"It is no problem. We have nothing against demons some even work for us out of their own free will that is."
She smiled. "What a kind lord. Brother, I think we should inform them of our other companions."
Miroku smiled also, "yes that would be wise. Akira, Yuuta you can come out now."
The boys poofed into existence shocking the members of court that was there. Miroku and Kagome spoke simultaneously.
"We introduce our servants, Akira and Yuuta. Please treat them well."
The young lord smiled and introduced himself. "I am Lord Hideki Sakurano, son of Daichi Sakurano. Welcome to the house of Sakura."
"Thank you." They all replied and Yuuta and Akira poofed back to kagome and Miroku skin. The lord assigned guards to show them to their rooms and keep them safe.
Kagome entered her room and thank the guard. She walked around and walked through the door that led to the baths and sighed.
She stripped off her top layer robe and was about to take off the second when she noticed something. She stood there for a few seconds then she did the only thing she could do; she screamed.
The guard at the door was surprised when he heard his ward scream. He knocked on the door calling for her.
"Kagome-sama, Kagome-sama, is everything alright?"
She answered but with a shake breath, "yes, can you please get my brother?"
"Of-course, right away my lady."
The guard pondered over the reason she could have screamed. He figured it was something only her brother could solve.
"Miroku-sama, your sister calls for you."
"Alright, take me to her kind sir."
He led the demon to his sister and let him in.
Miroku walked in to see Akira hugging a sniffling kagome.
"What's the matter?"
"Brother, you remember how Midoriko said there would be side effects to my cure?" Miroku nodded. "Well it seems that I would turn into a man. A handsome man but a man nonetheless, I mean THERE'S SOMETHING THERE!" and with that she started another round of tears. Miroku laughed out loud at her pun though it wasn't intended.
"Don't laugh at me; it's not funny at all."
"Fine, fine, I will help you adjust. Hey we could say we are twins. You kind of do look like me now."
"Shut up you stupid fox."
