Kagome's POV
I watched as Yuri played with my mom. I had decided to go visit her again, Rin and Shippo were mixing the batter for some pancakes as i was cutting up some banana's to go in it. "How's Inuyasha?" Mom asked me and i carefully put the knife down lying it ontop of the bamboo cutting board. "Sesshomaru came to visit Rin and told Inuyasha that he held land in the western lands. So he went to help his brother rid the area of demons." She nodded and kissed me on my forehead. "He'll be fine." She whispered. "I sure hope so..." I couldn't keep the sadness out of my voice. "Pancakes! Pancakes! Pancakes!" Rin cheered as i dropped the banana into the batter and mixed it just a little before handing it to my mother as she passed Yuri to me. While mom was cooking i took her to the bathroom and gave her a bath she enjoyed playing with the bubbles. Rin and Shippo came to find me once the pancakes were done and i was forced to seperate my little inu yukai pup away from her bubbles... she wasn't happy but thankfully she didn't fuss about it all day.
We were all settling down for dinner, Grandpa was telling the children one of the tales from the Sengoku Jidai and they were loving every minute of it. Souta had gained a new intrest in the Sengoku Jidai since he met Inuyasha and was listening intently as well. Mom called us into the room to eat, not wanting to pass up on my mom's home cooking i gently placed my hand on Grandpa's shoulder silently telling him it was time to stop and we all joined mom. Dinner was loud so loud that i had to take Yuri with her's and my dinner up to my room because her ear's hurt. I glanced out my window and sighed. I wonder how they are doing... I know Sesshomaru can handle himself and Inuyasha can to... I'm just worried that they will fight. I hope nothing happens, I don't want to lose Inuyasha. Realizing i wasn't helping myself i looked at Yuri and smiled at what i saw, she was sitting there with her plate on her lap picking up the small peices of meat and feeding herself. "I guess your growing up huh?" I asked her playfully poking her in the belly as she giggled. "Ya ya!" She cheered before pushing the plate from her lap and standing up, very carefully taking a couple steps towards me then climbing onto my lap. I set my plate next to hers and hugged her.
~Two years later~
Rin was 12 now and about 4'6" Shippo was just as tall as she was and they were the happiest children i've ever seen aside from Souta. Yuri could walk, run and speak really well and enjoyed playing with them, she was almost as tall as Rin just a foot an a half shorter. I sat inside the hut as i watched the children sleep for a few minutes before i looked out the window as it had become a habit to see if i could see Inuyasha. I sighed when i realized that they were probally still fighting... but why would it take two years? I looked at where Kaede use to sleep as tears rolled down my cheeks. She had died about a year ago, in her sleep. When i awoke the next morning she looked peaceful... I was now the village priestess, with no others to take over i didn't have much of a choice but i had started to train another girl to take over when Inuyasha returned for us. These weren't easy times, demons had been attacking the village demanding a virgin female be given to them. Woman were hiding even i stayed in the hut with the kids unless i had to go out. Unfortunately since the demons kept themselves hidden i couldn't purify them. Sango, Miroku, and their twin girls, Hana and Mira all lived here in the small hut with me so atleast i don't have to worry about them getting hurt.
As the village priestess i needed to do something and fast. The demons could no longer plague our village, it has been a week and all i can do is order our virgins into hiding and it did not help that i myself was one. I sighed, i would have to... i didn't have a choice. I wrote a letter for Sango and Miroku, explaining that i was going to offer myself as a sacerfice hopefully luring them out so i could kill them. I would take serveral of the village men with me and hopefully return but if i didn't i asked them to care for Rin, Shippo, and Yuri. It was alot to ask but i didn't feel like i had a choice.
I stood on a large rock facing the north, the wind was whipping around all of us. "WE GIVE YOU WHAT YOU WANT!" The villagers yelled, doing what i had asked of them. The wind picked up wrapping around me harshly, my hands clentched on my bow. "You are giving up your priestess." A ugly demon revealed it's self a giant fan on it's back, horns on it's head, and it sort of resembled a frog. "It is what she requested." It looked at me and i had to fight my disgust as it's looked me up and down a smirk slowly appearing on its face. When it faced the villagers i shot my arrows at it quickly peircing it's heart, throat, and brain. Three vital spots. Kaede had trained me more since i had more time that i usual did i was alot stronger so i don't have to depend on Sango and Miroku like i use to. He fell with a loud thud to the ground, i turned to the men. "We shall return home." I smiled and hopped off the rock. The ground shook and the wind wipped violently around me sending me crashing into a nearby tree, i screamed. "Lady Kagome!" The men yelled rushing to my aid and then they to were sent flying.
"How dare you! The village will pay for your actions." The demon growled and raised the giant fan into the air swirling it and making a tornado. I got to my feet and ran as fast as i could, i had to get there! I had to! The destructive winds were behind me threatening to suck me in. I reached the village but just barely quickly throwing up a barrier. The tornado clashed against my barrier and i had to fight to keep it up, i had really made this demon mad. "Your village will suffer!" Another one appeared and i was surrounded by fearful villagers, preying to Kami that we survived. "I am sorry! I was afraid!" I cried out desperate now to do anything to make him leave the village alone, i did not want people to die because i couldn't kill him fast enough. He just laughed at me as the winds picked up and attacked my barrier. It was going to come down! "Run!" I yelled to the villagers.
