Chapter 14

When everything had been placed into the cars, Kagome had turned around to watch her brother say his goodbyes to his best friend as they hugged each other. Unlike most boys their age, they didn't care what people thought about them or what they thought their silent huge meant to them. They were like brothers and no matter what others would think about their silent exchange, it would change nothing and cause them no problems what so ever. Just as Kagome was about to call out to her brother she turned around to face her friends' father as she heard him say, "Don't be a stranger this time around…let us know how you are doing and if there is anything we can do for you."

With a smile on her face, Kagome gave a short nod as she let out a long sigh and said, "If I truly believed that there was no way that my mother, if you could call her that, would not trace it back to you or to where I am I would."

"It's all that we ask dear." Sango's mother quickly added as she got her husband to keep his mouth shut.

"Not for us…" Ayame was heard as she, Rin and Sango approached their dear friend.

"You better keep in touch any way you can." Sango added in as she stopped to stand by her parents.

"And you better not give us any shit about not wanting us to get in danger…we can hold our own just find thanks to you." Rin joined in as she stopped to stand by her.

"Uh…there really is no way for me to convince you otherwise is there?" Kagome whispered in a tired and stress filled voice.

"Now girls…" Sango's mother began to say only to be stopped by her daughter's words.

"No there isn't so you better not keep us waiting long." Sango stated in a calm and collected voice.

"Else we'll go looking for you this time around before anything can happen to you." Ayame added in.

"Get the picture?" Rin asked with a grin on her face.

"I do now…but then again I shouldn't be surprised." Kagome stated as she wrapped her arms around each of her friends as a final goodbye.

"We've also made sure that you have some licenses to carry some weapons on you in the plane…we placed your daggers and the weapons you loved so much in your carry-on bag." Sango's mother was heard as she leaned into her husband's arms.

"Thank you…Sota!" Kagome stated as she pulled back so that she could stand by her brother.

"Already?" Sota couldn't help but ask in a sad voice.

"Yeah kid…sorry." Kagome answered in her own melancholy voice.

"But we'll see you soon…right?" Kohaku asked in a hope filled voice as he moved to stand by his sister.

"Of course…we're not going to be gone for years…just three months…that's it." Kagome promised with a smile on her face to both her brother and to her brother's best friends.

"You better…any later and we'll come get you ourselves." Rin promised in a calm voice.

Finally when they could no longer postpone their leave, Kagome told her brother to get into the unmarked and untraceable car as she walked around to get into the driver's seat of the car. Although she had promised them all that she would miss them greatly, Kagome said no goodbyes in her words. She had refused to since it was not a goodbye, she would see them again and she would join them again in three short months. After all, what was three months compared to three years, it was nothing for her and it certainly would be nothing for them since they had not seen her in that same length of time. Just as she had sped out of the gate, Kagome turned to face her brother as she heard him ask, "Where are we going sis?"

"We're going to a safe place, and a place that that woman could and never be will be able to touch us or find us." Kagome promised as she turned to face the road once more.

"We're going to see Kiki aren't we?" Sota whispered with a smile on her face.

"Well…you'll be seeing her for a while…I'm going to be getting a hold of some old friends…and pulling a few strings while I'm at it." Kagome replied with a grin of her own as she got on the highway.

It was going to not only be a long drive to the airport but it was also going to a silent one. While her brother silently said goodbye to the city he had been born in, Kagome began to make her plans and began to wonder about what she should do first. Of course since planning her meetings was the least of her problems, she had not only gotten a list of who and when she was going to get a hold of first, Kagome found herself at the airport. After getting her bags and making sure that her brother would stay by her side so that she could keep him hidden from their mother's eyes, Kagome walked over to the satiation and picked up their tickets. Once all of the other details had been taken care of Kagome and Sota made their way to their place. After taking in a deep and calming breath, Kagome nudged her brother as they boarded the plane before asking, "What's wrong Sota? Are you alright?"

"Yeah…" he whispered as he followed after her.

"That doesn't sound alright to me…what's on your mind kid?" Kagome replied with a grin on her face.

"Nothing, just nervous, scared and hoping that Kiki won't turn us away." Sota answered in a calm and emotion filled voice.

"Don't worry about a thing kid…one I'm not going to let anything happen to you, two there is no way that Kiki would turn us away…in fact I'm sure she'll be happy to see you." Kagome replied as she led him to the front of the plan and to the best seats in the first class area.

"I guess….at least now I get a chance to relax and see the world." Sota replied with a grin on his face as he took his seat.

"I don't think so, I'm getting you enrolled in school so don't you think for one minute you're slacking off while we're in London." Kagome answered with a grin of her own.

"That's not fair, you got to leave school, besides, I've never gotten a break from studying thanks to that woman." Sota pointed out.

"Yeah, not something I would have done if I wasn't forced to…" Kagome mumbled before quickly adding, "Point is I want you to have a shot at something I never got to finish."

"Can't I at least just take the rest of the semester off? Mother had me advance to senior level…if I just put it off for this semester I'll still be ahead." Her brother pointed out with a puppy dog look in his eyes.

"Uh…fine…but you have to promise me that you will not leave the house unless I or Inuyasha go with you." Kagome answered.

"Inuyasha? Isn't he back in Japan?" Sota asked in a confused voice.

"God I hope not." Kagome whispered before grinning at her brother to answer, "No, he's the first one I'm meeting in London, I'll explain everything when we get there…just get some rest."

"Fine…but you have to sleep too." Sota mumbled as he began to get conformable enough to sleep in his seat.

Once her brother had fallen asleep, Kagome took in a deep breath and tried to relax. She knew that they were not out of the woods yet but once they reached the place she was taking them too they would be safe. And once they were safe she would be able to get things into motion so that not only would her mother realize her mistake but she would see that she was not some cheap toy she could toss aside, she was her father's daughter and she was going to prove it her step mother and to the five houses, that her life was hers to control and hers alone.

As she gripped her mother's, her biological mother, necklace Kagome couldn't help but take in a deep breath. She knew that since her birth her father had sealed the demon blood that lay within her, she knew that it would be released when she would take her mate and knew that she would be very powerful. She also knew that her mate would gain control of his demon blood with her help and with their mating. She had no idea what she was going to do next but once they arrived in London she would have to make sure her brother was safe, she would take him to the safe house before she would leave and go in search of the one person that would be able to help her hide just until she had to get back home.

'Even if I'm in hiding, even if she is making it difficult for me…I am my fathers and mothers daughter, I will find a way to throw her out of power and I will make everything right again…as right as it can be any way.' Kagome thought as she watched her brother sleep before turning to look out of the window so that she could watch the land they were flying over change.
