'' Speech. ''
'' Thoughts. ''
'' He did it because I asked him to and could you all be quiet? I need to concentrate.'' Kagome said.
A few moments later a pink light surrounded her. It was her healing ability. Then Kagome stood on her own. She held her arm over the wound it still hurt because she could only heal the outside for some reason. Sango walked to Kagome.
'' Are you okay?'' Sango asked.
'' Yes, I am fine.'' Kagome replied and then put a fake smile on her face.
'' So this is what you were singing about? '' Sango asked. Kagome nodded.
Sesshomaru silently observed Kagome. He knew something had not gone right the minute she had put one that fake smile.
'' But what are you? '' Sango asked.
'' I don't really know.'' Kagome replied.
'' Well it seems you are an angelic being.'' Kikyo said. Then Miroku stepped in.
'' Lady Kagome is this full extend of your strength?'' Miroku asked.
'' No it was uhm... I would say one fourth. '' Kagome answered.
Everyone was shocked and afraid of what her full power could be. Miroku was the first to break out of it.
'' Could you ... use the full extent of your power, please? If you are what I think you are, you will transform even further.'' Miroku asked.
'' Okay. I will try but I think it is best if the demons took a few steps back.'' Kagome said.
Every demon stepped away from Kagome, except for Sesshomaru. Kagome looked at him.
'' You too. '' Kagome said.
'' No, I want to stay close.'' Sesshomaru replied.
'' Why? You could get hurt.'' Kagome asked.
'' Because I can see through that fake smile of yours. Something has gone wrong during the healing process. '' Sesshomaru thought.
Kagome knew that he would not go away and she was surprised that he saw through her smile. She knew that fighting with him was only a waste of time.
'' Okay, but if the powers I emit hurt you, please step back.'' Kagome said. Sesshomaru nodded.
Kagome began rising her miko powers. She started slowly, but after a minute she started rising the power as fast as she could. Miroku and the other demons were amazed that her powers were still climbing rapidly.
After 10 minutes she was reaching her limit. A bright white light surrounded her within it streaks of pink and blue. Now Kagome stood there fully transformed. Every demon who saw her was now sitting on the ground bowing to her.
Kagome had long angelic wings. They were white and the feathers were with pink and light blue streaks. She was wearing a very long white dress with four long splits so it was easy to fight in. She also had markings on her, demon markings. Two one each cheek and two on each wrist. That was all that could be seen. She also had a marking on her forehead. It was in the form of a teardrop. Kagome saw that everybody was worshipping her. She didn't understand why.
'' Please stop that.'' Kagome pleaded. The demons didn't respond. Kagome looked at Sesshomaru.
'' I don't understand. Why won't they stop?'' Kagome asked.
'' It is because you are a holy being. The last of your kind. And probably the whole world can feel your existence. All demons in the whole world are worshipping you. I also think there will be shrines made, just for you.'' Sesshomaru replied. It took Kagome several minutes to understand all that Sesshomaru had explained.
'' But what am I?'' Kagome asked.
'' You Koi, are the most special being in the whole world. Your name is one that fights each other you are called and Angelic Demon. You are the highest of all demons. And you have miko abilities that also makes you the strongest miko. You Kagome are the strongest being in the world.'' Sesshomaru said.
Kagome didn't know what to say or do. She was shocked, she was supposed to be the strongest in the world. Then her knees gave in and she fell to the ground. She was exhausted and that wound in her ribs was not helping her. Soon Sesshomaru sat in front of her.
'' Kagome tell me. What's wrong?'' Sesshomaru asked. He was worried about her.
'' I ... I am ... exhausted ... just tired ...'' Kagome said she saw her friends so she couldn't tell the whole truth, but Sesshomaru knew.
'' Is there something you need?'' Sesshomaru asked.
'' I need to concentrate ... But it is too noisy and I have a headache.'' Kagome said
'' QUIET. '' Sesshomaru said a bit loud. And with that everyone was quiet, even the birds.
Then Kagome tried to concentrate again, but her headache was pounding in her head. Sesshomaru noticed. He set his hands over her head and started massaging. He did several places at once. After a few minutes he heard and felt Kagome calming. She could finally concentrate and now a bright white light surrounded them. As it faded Kagome was in her human form but her demon markings did not leave her body this time.
'' Sesshomaru ... I can't ... '' Kagome said, but was interrupted.
'' Hush ... Let you self fall into slumber.'' Sesshomaru said. Kagome smiled and then let herself fall into unconsciousness. She fell forward against Sesshomaru's chest. Her friends rushed towards them.
'' Is she all right?'' Inuyasha asked. He was very worried about Kagome, she was his first best friend who took him for him. She had accepted him as a hanyou.
'' She will be just fine.'' Sesshomaru replied.
Sesshomaru stood up and took Kagome in his arms. He walked to their bedroom and laid her in bed. He covered her with a nice warm blanket and then went to sit on a cushion in front of the bed, waiting for her to wake up. After several hours of waiting it was time for dinner and Kagome still wasn't awake. Sesshomaru decided that he should attend to his guests as well so he went to the dining hall.
- Dinner, dining hall. -
Everyone was already in the dining hall before Sesshomaru arrived. Sesshomaru walked to his seat and sat down. Now everyone was seated dinner was served. Dinner was eaten in silence and after dinner Sesshomaru left.
'' Why was mommy not with us?'' Rin asked
'' She was very tired sweetie, but if you want I can take you to her but you'll have to wait another hour so that she can rest some more.'' Sango said.
'' Thank you, I would like that.'' Rin replied.
'' Can I go too?'' Shippo asked.
'' Of course you can.'' Sango relied.
- With Sesshomaru. -
Sesshomaru was back in their bedroom once again, he noticed that Kagome was still asleep. He sat besides the bed and started meditating. After one hour there was a soft knock on the door. Sesshomaru knew who it was, he could smell the scents of the children and Sango, Kagome's adoptive sister.
'' Enter.'' Sesshomaru said.
Then the children and Sango slowly walked in the bed room. Rin and Shippo softly climbed on the bed. Sango sat besides Sesshomaru on another pillow. It was as if Kagome could feel the presence of her worried friends. She awoke. But not for the reason off feeling their presence
'' Ouch.'' Kagome said while softly rubbing her head.
'' Okaa-chan, are you okay? I'm sorry for waking you.'' Shippo said.
'' I am sorry too mommy.'' Rin said.
'' It's okay don't worry about it, but could you get of my hair?'' Kagome asked.
'' I'm sorry.'' Shippo said while moving of off her hair.
Kagome sat on the bed leaning against the head board. Kagome patted her legs offering the children to sit in her lap. Both children took the offer as soon as it was given to them. They both cuddled up to Kagome. Sesshomaru saw the look of pain on her face but she quickly put on one of her fake smiles, so that the children wouldn't worry.
'' Kagome are you okay?'' Sango asked.
'' Yes I'm feeling much better.'' Sango however didn't notice that, but Sesshomaru did and raised one perfectly shaped eyebrow at Kagome, but Kagome gave him a 'Don't tell her look.' . Then there was another knock on the door. Kagome started tickling Rin.
'' Enter.'' Sesshomaru said loud enough so that he would be heard over all that laughter.
Then the door opened and Kenta walked in. He saw Rin squirming in Kagome's arms because of the tickle attack Kagome gave her. Then Kagome looked up.
'' Oh, hello Lord Kenta.'' Kagome said.
'' You don't have to call me Lord, you know?'' Kenta said.
'' She knows, she's teasing you.'' Sesshomaru said.
'' Well I actually wanted to know how she was, but I think she's just fine.'' Kenta said.
After an hour of tickling the children Sesshomaru sent them away so she could rest some more. Sesshomaru stood up and sat on the edge of the bed. They were alone now.
'' Kagome ... How is that wound?'' Sesshomaru asked.
'' Oh, I'm just fine.'' Kagome said. Sesshomaru looked at her.
'' Does it hurt much?'' He asked. Kagome looked down to her hands. With her hands she nervously toyed.
'' You knew ...?'' Kagome asked still looking down.
'' Yes, let me see.'' Sesshomaru said. Kagome looked up.
Kagome untied her obi and then opened her kimono. Sesshomaru looked at her stomach. The wound was closed but it did turn dark blue. Sesshomaru put his hand over the bruise and softly felt the wound. Kagome shot backwards when he touched her.
'' I am sorry.'' Sesshomaru said.
'' It is not your fault.'' Kagome said.
Sesshomaru looked her in the eyes, he knew there was something she did not tell him and he knew she would tell him in time when she was ready.
'' What is it then?'' Sesshomaru asked.
Kagome turned her head away and looked down, Sesshomaru cupped her face with his hand and tilted her head so she looked at him. He looked into her eyes. He then kissed her, he tilted her head back a bit to deepen the kiss. Then Sesshomaru licked the bottom lip asking for entrance. Kagome of course granted him this entrance. He moved his tongue over her teeth, remembering every single one of them. Their tongues fought in a passionate battle for dominance. After a short while they needed air.
'' Rest, I will be back in a few hours.'' Sesshomaru said.
Kagome smiled warmly at him and then slowly laid back on the futon. Sesshomaru stood up and pulled the blankets over her. He then walked to the doors. Sesshomaru went to work in the study, trying to get a head start before they all left tomorrow afternoon. After a few hour of working he called it a night. Sesshomaru walked to their bedroom and started changing into his sleeping hakama. Then he curled up next to Kagome in bed, he laid his hand over her stomach, but as soon as he did it his hand was grabbed and pushed down a bit. He forgot it hurt there.
'' Goodnight my love.'' Kagome said softly.
'' Goodnight Koi.'' Sesshomaru replied.
