Okay, second to last chapter, yay!

Enjoy!

After what seemed like forever, Freya returned, almost out of breath, a few deep cuts on her. Inuyasha was holding a bawling Yoshi at the time, Kiseki lying on the futon, looking calmer than his twin by far. The hanyou looked up and smiled. "Freya. How'd it go?"

She swallowed and wiped her forehead. "I think Koga let me kill him. I guess, in the end, he saw my side and decided to give up. It was easier than I expected. I feel like collapsing, but I need my wounds bandaged."

Kaede saw the cuts and looked at her apparel with confusion. "Freya, what manner of dress is this? I've never seen anything like it, not even when Kagome was around."

"This is what I normally take my appearance as in the heavens when I'm readying myself for a battle. Sometimes gods and goddesses fight each other and appear in their battle outfit. This is mine. No two outfits are alike, so I am the Valkyrie of the goddesses."

She started to take the armor off, which was located on her torso, forearms, lower legs and head. She didn't wear much under her light armor, a tight-fitted shirt and a skirt that was slit in the front for free movement. When she started taking that off too because of her injuries, Inuyasha turned red and turned away. A/N: I did that for fun. If you notice in the first or second episode Inuyasha stares at Kagome naked with a straight face. Okay, moving on now...

"Many of your injuries have burns on them, Freya. They don't seem life-threatening, but it's shocking, since there doesn't seem to be much bleeding. Have you ever been injured before?"

"Yes, but not this much. I just need them wrapped and within a day they should be healed with no scar."

"I see. What's this, then?"

"Oh, that? I wasn't born a goddess, I was…created."

"Created?" Inuyasha asked, not turning around until Freya was completely dressed. "What do you mean?"

"As in I was made. I wasn't even born at all. My powers came from another goddess while my body was created by a god because he didn't want this goddess to take over. She was evil, from what I've learned, and all her powers were taken because I look exactly like her, save for the mark on me. It was placed there just in case she ever reincarnated and tried to take her powers back. As of yet, she hasn't, because of the curse a powerful youkai placed on her soul. If she ever was reincarnated, the curse will take place, making her the servant and wife of this youkai, though I've never learned who this youkai was." A/N: Remember Lezard made a Homunculus to try and take Lenneth's soul? More or less the same story, except with a new twist.

"How long have you lived, Freya?" Inuyasha questioned.

"I don't know exactly, but I do believe over three thousand years."

"Wow. No wonder you got bored with the heavens and came here. Is Koga really dead?"

"Yes. I made sure he'll never be reincarnated as anything. I placed a seal on his soul before I killed him. I don't want him coming back, ever."

Kaede helped her dress in looser clothes, so she wouldn't cause more damage to her wounds with her armor. When they were done, Inuyasha turned back, seeing Freya tie her hair back for the first time, since it was so long that it nearly brushed her knees. She twisted it skillfully into a loose braid, leaving some from her neck up undone so her headdress would fit later.

"Your hair looks better tied back than free. Why didn't you do it in the first place?"

"Because I now know that during battle, having my hair free means it could get in the way. It has a possibility of being damaged, as well. I don't like the smell of burnt hair."

She picked up Kiseki and smiled. Inuyasha then asked, "When are you going to change me into a god, not like I care much anymore, since you defeated Koga."

"As soon as this evening, if the children are asleep by then. Actually, when they're first born, any children with even the slightest bit of god in them sleeps most of the time, only waking in times of stress. They gather power during that time."

"How long does this period last?" Kaede asked, curious.

"Usually the first year or so. Then they act like normal children. And, like all gods, they don't need to eat, nor have nourishment of any kind."

Inuyasha nodded. "All right. Tonight, I'm gonna become the most powerful being ever!"

I'm so happy someone made this story their favorite! Cookies to you!

So everything will be wrapped up in the next chapter, then watch for my one-shot conclusion!
