The occupants of the hut set sipping on their tea soaking up what they were just informed. It was a lot to take it. Kagome being a kami touched was an all-new experience for all in the hut but one. Toga sat thinking of what he knew of the first kami touched he was pretty sure he was the only one in the room old enough to even know of the woman. More than that he knew how she came to be such. His first mate had told the story on her death bed by than it was too late Midoriko had passed. Keeping that in mind, what were the kami's thinking in making another one and binding her to three high level dais.

The fact that the first kami touched happened to bind the miko and dai in a mating bond did not escape his notice either. Toga wondered to himself if the bond created with Kagome would result in the same for all of them. Though he found the miko very pleasing to both the eye and nose he was not sure he wanted another mate after the fate of his first two.

"They were not as strong as she is and they never had a full bond with us." his beast chose to remind him.

His beast was right the bond was never complete with his first two mates due to his beast refusal to participate in the bonding act. This explanation did however explain why the pull had felt familiar to Aoihi. Toga had never had a full bond so it was an all-new feeling to him, but Aoihi must have had a full mating bond with his late mate. Toga realized then that he needed to get back to his hut and speak with the fox perhaps he could shed even more light on what was going on.

Standing up Toga looked around the hut, "If that is all for the evening I will be returning to my hut Aoihi awaits this information and I wish to check on Kagome and the pups as well." he stated for all to hear.

Inuyasha stood up "I need to speak with you old man before you go anywhere this night."

Toga bristled slightly at his youngest pups tone he didn't take kindly to being ordered around, but he did need to speak with his son anyways so he pushed the slight disrespect off for the time being. Nodding Toga and Inuyasha made their way to the door of the hut.

With the last of the youki leaving the hut the humans began to talk lightly amongst themselves. Much of the conversation was about the new change to Kaede and how it would affect things to come. Kaede took this time to speak with her sister about Kagome's request. "Kagome wishes for ye and I to help train her new miko powers. I feel that with your experience as a full miko ye would be the better choice. I have helped her as much as I could, and wouldn't even know where to start with her new powers." Kaede said softly to her sister.

Kikyo took a moment to think about it and while Kaede did in fact have a longer life than she did she also had a point, Kaede's powers were never very strong to start with she was more of the herbalist while Kikyo took care of the miko side of it. It worked well while both of them were in the village, and Kikyo also took in to consideration the change to Kaede it was very possible with the reset to her age her powers too would have reverted back to what she would have had at her now current age. So even if she had the knowledge she would not have the control of her own powers to help train Kagome. "Agreed sister, I believe with the current change to your age your powers may very well be reduced to that of your age. I will help Kagome as much as I can. I know now that her powers are far vaster than my own but perhaps the help of the dais too will help with control." she said softly back.

Miroku being close to the two sisters had overheard what they were saying. He could help to a degree but he wished to stay with Sango so if Kagome chose to go separate ways he would not be able to help her. "Agreed" he said to the two sisters getting their attention "We will have to wait and see what affects the changes will have on Kaede's powers. And though the power the youki have is indeed different than a miko's the basic control of such power if very similar I'm sure Toga or Aoihi can offer some information in to this as well." he stated in a sagely voice.

Next to Miroku Herupa and his grandfather both nodded their heads in agreement to his words. Kikyo and Kaede looked at the monks it seemed it was decided than Kikyo would help train Kagome's new powers and much as she could than they would ask for the dais help in finishing it where she could not.

It was now late in to the night and the humans in the hut decided to call it a night and go to rest. As they stepped out of the hut Miroku and Sango looked around for Inuyasha to tell him they were all heading back to the hut to rest for the night but found he was not outside the hut as they had expected. Shrugging it off as him and his father wishing for a measure of privacy they left off to the hut. Herupa and his father not far behind them, retreating to their hut for as much sleep as they could get. All knew that there was sure to be more excitement come the marrow.

Inuyasha lead his father out of the village and off to the God tree. He had been patient so far to get his answers but after the ordeal tonight he needed to make sure Kagome was going to be safe and in good hands. If he had any doubts at all he would not think twice about forcing Kagome to stay with his pack. Yes she would be mad at first and fight him but she would come around eventually he was sure.

Toga walked behind his son as he marched to the place he wanted them. Inuyasha's posture was screaming discomfort his back ridged, hands clinched at his sides, and his gate fast. Toga was pretty sure he knew what his son was wanting and he would answer him as best as he could. He knew there was some information he was best not sharing with the boy. Who the first kami touched was being one of the things it would only due to worry the boy more than he already was.

Inuyasha pace slowed as they came in to the clearing with the God tree in it, as he stopped he turned to look his father right in the eyes. Toga met his gaze knowing the boy was emotional at the moment he waited for his pup to gather his thoughts.

Inuyasha eyed his father the old man knew about the kami touched he saw how Toga had flinched at the mention of how the first one was created he had to know something that he wasn't sharing. Haven gotten all of his thoughts in order he spoke "I'm not blind old man I saw the way you have been eyeing Kagome the way you stay as close to her as you can. You just came back you don't know her so why are you sniffing around her like you want her?" is voice was calm but his tone was hard he was not going to let his old man get out of these questions.

Toga understood his sons concerns even if they were unfounded. It was true he didn't know the woman and he had been acting strangely around her, but with the information tonight it would help to explain a lot of it. Toga let out a sigh he hoped his son would not over react to this "It is true my behavior has been odd around her being as I just met her, however what we learned tonight explains a lot of it."

Toga watched as his pup narrowed his eyes at him, yep he was not taking this well "Kagome is now a kami touched I only know of one other time this has happened I know whom it was and what the result was of it. When the kami's had done this the first time the bond was meant to draw a daiyouki to a human as a mate.".

Toga watched as Inuyasha shoulders slumped and his bangs fell to cover his eyes. "So you're telling me that the bond that Kagome now has to not only you but the fox and that bastard as well ,is the bonds of a mate?" he was practically yelling by the end of his words.

Toga reached out and put a hand on his sons shoulder "More or less yes son that is what I'm telling you. The first kami touched did mate with the dai that was chosen for her though it was not right away they were close friends first that I know of."

Yasha looked up "Are you planning on mating her?"

Toga stiffened slightly he couldn't answer that the bond pulled him to her but he would not take her as a mate if she didn't want it and he still didn't know if he wanted another mate now or ever. Toga decided he would answer it as honest as he could. "It is not my intention to take her as a mate right now no. The bond does pull me to her and makes me desire to be close to her and protect her, but I would not take her as a mate if she did not wish for it ever. I hope that will put your mind to rest slightly pup.".

Inuyasha studied his father for a few minutes than nodded "It helps some yes. So you will protect her and take care of her to the best of your abilities right?" he had a hopeful look on his face almost pleading.

It was clear to Toga that his pup blamed himself for much of the pain Kagome has gone through and wished to see her in the best hands she could be in. "Yes I will do everything in my power to make her happy my instincts would allow no less son." Toga stated for his son.

Yasha nodded "Good. Aoihi is the same isn't he I see it in him too he can't pull himself from her side at this very moment. My worry is that bastard, you know how he feels about humans and I'm sure he will figure out what we have soon enough. What happens if he comes after her?"

Toga tilted his head to the side his youngest really didn't understand how full youki worked Sesshomaru couldn't hurt her even if he wanted to now, his beast would not allow it with the soul bond. "He will not be able to harm her even if his logical side wanted to his beast would not allow it. In the beasts eyes she is his mate, and if he ever tried neither Aoihi nor myself would allow harm to come to her Inuyasha." he stated in a firm but soft tone. Toga wanted to reassure his pup that Kagome would be in the best of care even if they tried to fight the bond.

Inuyasha looked off to the side "We're not done talkin but I'm sure you want to get back to Kagome's side and it's been a long night well talk more tomorrow."

With that said he shrugged off his father's hand and began to make his way back to Edo Toga not far behind him. Once more lost in thoughts of the past and what was to come in the future for all of them.
