"Mother" She turned and smiled at Kurama,
"Hello Suichi I didn't see you there" She said smiling, "Kagome I didn't expect you to blow my cover so soon but when Sesshomaru-sama showed up at the house I had to come see you"
"Mother, how come you never told me you knew my friends were demons" Kurama asked softly.
"I wanted you to tell me, I guess I shall tell you my tale now." Shiori said smiling as Kagome let her sit. "When Kagome left, I too decided I must go back to my village and protect them as I had before I joined Lady Kagome's mission. On my way a spirit found me, it was the spirit of the Fox thief, Youko Kurama. He told me that I was pregnant, which had come as a surprise because I had lay with only one man and only once, our romance was short lived as he died in the final battle against Naraku. However he asked if he would share the body with my child. I was reluctant but I agreed. He seemed to think I was a human woman since I had put up my disguise. For some reason when the spell was performed we were transported here to this time."
"This hadn't bothered me because I had been here once before with Lady Kagome and knew what I needed to. I had you Suichi, and then I met another man, though human and we got married not long after, he is the man you knew as your father." Shiori explained.
"Then who is my real father?"
"Suzaku" She said blushing as Kagome giggled.
"I always knew you'd end up with him! And to think the guys always thought he was gay" Kagome said giggling, before turning to Kurama "But now that I look at him he does look like Zaku in his human form"
"Ms. Minamino may we see you're demon form?" Keiko asked curious. Shiori smiled before closing her eyes. Her dark hair slowly became white and her features younger looking when she opened her eyes they were violet.
"Who is Suzaku?" Kurama asked more intrigued about his father.
"Suzaku is
"You don't mean the leader of the spirit beasts do you!" Yusuke asked as the name sunk into his head, "The one who attacked Keiko"
"No, Suzaku wouldn't hurt a fly" Shiori said smiling.
"Unless you evil leader is searching for the blade of heaven" Kagome said smiling.
"I remember him mentioning that, though he didn't elaborate." Shiori said smiling.
"He never did, any way Suzaku was a phoenix demon who fought with three other demons to get the blade of heaven and earth. Though he acted very much like a kitsune, he and Shippo got along well and together thought up many plots to annoy Inuyasha and sometimes Sesshomaru, When we battled the group Suzaku was the last to survive, as he was about to be sucked into Miroku's wind tunnel he was attempting to run away screaming Not Good Not good, we had Shiori and Rin with us and They asked us to save him because he hadn't really attacked us during the battle, just taunted Inuyasha" Kagome said smiling at Kurama.
"You are very much like him in appearance but your personality is very much a mix of me and Youko" Shiori said smiling at them.
"I think I have kept you long enough, I will visit tomorrow, as I am sure mother will be here" Shiori said smiling at them as she left. "Will you be staying here tonight Suichi?"
"I'm not sure mother, I'll call" Kurama said still a bit shocked. She put back up her disguise and walked out of the house after saying her goodbyes to everyone. They all drifted off to sleep after eating.
The next morning they were awoken by a strong demon presence and the sounds of laughing children. The boys and Shizuru were on immediate alert however Kagome laughed and calmly wrapped her robe around her and answered the door.
"Mother" She said hugging the tall regal looking woman. She had long regal looking blonde hair with amber eyes. Her skin was pale and her features pointed. She wore an elegant evening dress.
"Hello my dear" She greeted smiling as three blurs ran past her and tackled Kagome to the ground. Behind her you saw Rin and Shippo smiling.
"KAGOME" They chorused. The first was a little girl with long black hair neatly braided and amber eyes. The second girl had dark strawberry blonde hair and silver eyes. And the little boy looked like the first only his eyes were a dark reddish brown.
"Please come in, everyone you know Shippo and Rin, this is Hitaro" Kagome said pushing the little boy forward who bowed.
"I'm Midriko, Hitaro's twin" The little dark haired girl spoke smiling,
"And this is Hina" Kagome said placing a hand on the shy girl hiding behind her legs.
"And I am Estella" The regal woman said smiling at them. "Hiei, Yukina, Sesshomaru didn't mention that we had finally found you"
"I'm sure he just wanted to surprise you mother, he didn't tell you that I had mated either I'm guessing" Kagome said smiling at her.
"No he did not, to whom dear" She said smiling.
"Hiei" Kagome answered smiling, "And the red head there is Shiori's son"
"Finally a grandson! It's about time I had a new one" She said smiling at them.
"Grandmother, what do you consider us?" Rin asked smirking/
"You're personal servants" Shippo finished for her.
"The two of you have spent to much time together, and I do not consider you my personal servants, you are my first grandchildren, and these three count also but I wish to have more" She said smiling at the teenagers as everyone sat down.
"Kagome, who are their parents" Keiko asked motioning towards the two eight year olds and the three year old smiling.
"Well, Hitaro and Midriko are surprisingly enough Sango and Miroku's children. They had been born a few months before they were killed, we couldn't find a name that seemed to fit the boy until Hitaro was killed saving Sesshomaru. Sango had managed to name Midriko before she died but not her son." Estella said smiling at the twins who were running around with the three teenagers.
"Hina is my daughter, I had mated a girl named Souten, she died not long after Hina was born" Shippo said smiling at them as he picked up the toddler who giggled.
"Do you have any children Rin?" Keiko asked smiling at the girl.
"No, I am unmated, there have been many suitors but with your father being the king of Makai" Rin said shrugging.
"I have a question, Rin and the twins seem human however they lived into our time still looking very young." Kurama spoke softly "How is that possible?"
"We aren't human" Midriko spoke shrugging.
"There are many legal ways for humans to become demons. Some demons can turn their mates form to theirs, adoption ceremonies between some youkia can change you're breed" Hitaro said shrugging.
"Grandmother and Uncle Sesshomaru adopted us into the house of moon when we were young, we are three fourths demon, one fourth human" Midriko said smiling at them brightly.
"I am a full demon, I just prefer my human from as it is the one that I have lived in for about fifteen years of my life." Rin said smiling at them.
"Oh dear, come children, we have to be off now," Estella said glancing at the clock. "I have a very important meeting with Enma today"
"I'll see you tomorrow to meet the team for this tournament Mother," Kagome said hugging the woman.
"Do not fear child, all will be well in time" Estella said softly. "And we will not lose anyone in this fight, not like last time."
"How do you know?"
"Something is just telling me that we are prepared this time" She said as she gathered the children and left.
Well there it is! I hope it was a good one! Please Review and let me know what you think!
