A/N: Yes, yes I know I haven't updated in forever and a day! School has been kicking my ass. I know I really shouldn't make excuses...but. Yea. Please don't give up on me, I AM trying. Yes this is possibly the shortest chapter to ever hit FF, but I got stuck. Please give me some ideas! If you do i'll update in a week I promise- cross my heart! (I am on Fall break and am off again next week!)

Many Thanks to: kate(), Lionsheart13771, and megan1339 for reviewing on the last chapter!

To Lionsheart13771: I am not sure on a pairing yet. If you want a specific pairing let me know!

I kinda want to bring Shessomaru into the story as Toga in there and well he IS prince to the western lands. I know in the Anime/manga they don't meet in the past, but this is Fanfiction. Let me know if you guys are open to the idea. Again if you want something to happen/ or have an idea on how I can continue, let me know. I'm just kinda stuck at the moment!

Kagome jumped in surprise, accidentally dropping the bowl she was carrying. As the bowl dropped it seemed to do so in slow motion finally hitting to hard packed dirt of the cave floor, shattering into many pieces. For a moment all she could do was stare at what use to be a bowl before her brain kicked back into gear.

Quickly she bent down and started to gather the shards. With out looking up she addressed the question.

"There was a battle. Please get Kouga to bring me something to put these shards in."

With a quick glance she verified that the demoness had not stopped working, and the shadow that had previously standing behind her was gone. With a sigh she gathered the last of the shards and held them in her hand.

"Here." A bowl was thrust in front of her. Looking up she gave a small smile and a quick mummer of thanks as she deposited the shards into the bowl. Then taking the bowl away from him she stood up. She studied him for a moment. He looked much better than he did earlier, much more rested. The stress lines where gone and color has returned.

"Did you feel your father in on the battle?" She watched as his face became slightly pale but shook his head no. But all she did was tilt her head to the side and look at him before helping to clean up the last of the bandages.

"He didn't ask me, he went straight to another demon after waking me up and telling me your message. Didn't even ask if I was okay.."

"Hmm. Then why not just tell him? Walk right over there and tell him how you think every thing went. You will be leader one day, right? So give him the information. How do you think the tribe needs to improve their fighting style, who did good in the fight and who needs more work? Apparently you guys need more work, other wise so many wouldn't have been hurt. Go."

She could hear him growing and almost expected him to do something about it. Instead the soft sound of him walking away reached her ears.

She glanced up to look at the demoness that had finished her share of the work, she was staring at Kagome with a quizzical expression. In response Kagome quirked an eye brow. But the demoness just shook her head and walked off to a nearby fire.

Bandages finished, Kagome looked around the cave. It was still very early so most of the demons where asleep, but still some where talking around the fires. More than likely talking about what the tribe would do now. Much like how her old group would do after a battle with Naraku's minions.

With a tired sigh Kagome went to her spot on the far side of the cave and gently sat down as to not disturb her wounds. Within minutes she was asleep.

Disclaimer: Sadly I don't own anything but the idea. ~sigh~

Sorry for such a short chapter!
