When they saw that everyone was off the island Kagome, Inuyasha and Kouga returned to see if they could find the dragon lord and Yutaka. When they returned to the main land they walked to Sango and Miroku who were trying to figure a way to eat. Their hands were now claws and very hungry. They stopped when they spotted Kagome and the others.
''Sango, Miroku we need you both to be very still as you can. There may not or may be some pain. But if so it will not be nothing like before.'' Said Kagome
They both nodded as they understood. Kagome, Inuyasha and Kouga formed a triangle circle around them holding hands and closed their eyes. Everyone who was there watched as their ancient markings on them went to glowing gold again. Sango and Miroku were holding each other.
There ancient markings which were still glowing golden color went to moving on their bodies. Then flew off them and circled around both Sango and Miroku slow then went to moving and spinning backwards fast around them. It had looked like a ball of golden light. You could no longer see Sango and Miroku in the middle.
After a few minutes the ball of golden light busted into tiny sparking stars around them and faded away. The ancient markings returned to their bodies and back to the color of black. Everyone seen Sango and Miroku bodies were back to normal.
Unknown to everyone they had two others who were also watching. Hidden from them were Lord Ryura and Yutaka as they watched what had taken place.

''Much has changed. She has more power than first time we battled and now she has brothers with the same power, markings and tails.'' whispered lord Ryura
''I don't see the staff anywhere or any chest.'' Said Yutaka
''We will keep watching them until we find it. Then take it and the children while they are all sleep.'' said Lord Ryura
''Yes my lord.'' said Yutaka
#~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~#~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~#
Everybody saw Sango and Miroku move really fast to the food. It made others wander if they were even humans.
''Wow you guys are hungry.'' Shippo said as they seen Sango and Miroku grabbing food and water as fast as they could.
''Forgive us we have not eaten anything in over a week. Before it was just small pieces of bread since we been here.'' said Miroku
''Eat as much as you like just eat it slow. If you eat to fast you will become sick.'' said Midoriko
''Sango has spoken about many of the slaves were in a safe room in the cave. Am I correct? ''Asked Inutaisho
''Yes, They can't leave or escape the island. They have a mark on them from the dragon lord, if they do he can kill them.'' Said Miroku
''Do you know what kind of mark?'' asked Midoriko
''It is a mark of a dragon. It was done with his blood and special ink and was placed upon their chests.'' Said Sango
''There are maybe two hundred more or less slaves with the mark. A few of the slaves are before the war lord came around. The rest is what remains of his army. Most are human the rest is lower level demons.'' Said Miroku
''The only way to remove that kind of seal is to destroy the dragon lord.'' said Midoriko
''Since they can't leave the island, we will need a way to get them food and water until then.'' said Kagome
''What about the dragon's armies or what's left of them?'' asked Kouga
''They felt the energy from the three of you and most ran away.'' Said Toran
''The rest left when the ground went to shaking.'' said Shippo
''Shunran did you every catch that bird?'' asked Lord Yuji
''No, when he rolled in to the cave he had disappeared. When I could not find him, I returned to help Lady Kagome and the others.'' said Shunran
''His probable hiding with the slaves after you ripped part of his right wing.'' Said Inuyasha
''I'll get him one day.'' said Shunran
''Lady Kagome may I ask why do you, Inuyasha and Kouga glow that gold color on your ancient markings?'' Asked Lord Daiki
''After the ritual our power is more balanced.'' said Kagome
''You held that much power before the ritual?'' asked Toran
''That much and more I was unbalance and was forbidden to speak about it until ritual was completed.'' said Kagome
''How did they get element powers? I had seen them use some in battle.'' Lord Daiki asked pointing at Rin and Shippo.
''When I adopted Sango, Rin, Shippo my power was unbalanced at the time and tiny amount of the element power's became part of them. They are limited with it and are unable to pass it to anyone or any children they may have. Sango element is water, Rin is earth and Shippo is air element. It should have never happen to them. But due to being unbalanced at the time it did. Now that I'm balanced, that will not be happening again. '' Said Kagome
''When Kagome was reunited with Takara, we found out what and how it happened and a whole lot of other stuff. '' Said Inuyasha
''I'm sorry if I ask a lot of questions, Just I and many others are trying to understand everything that is happening.'' Said Lord Daiki
''It is okay. Just please remember, there may be questions you or others may ask and neither I nor the others will be allowed to answer. Due that they are meant to remain unanswered.'' Said Kagome
''I understand.'' Lord Daiki said with a smile.
''I miss my children.'' Sango said after she and Miroku finished eating.
''They are safe and with your brother, Kimi and Ayame. We can have some return you to the village when you're ready.'' said Kouga
''Thanks Kouga, we will remain here for a couple of days to make sure the dragons are not around. We still owe them some pain.'' said Sango
''You don't have your weapon here Sango.'' said Shippo
''Weapon's made from this world does not affect the dragons.'' said Sesshomaru
''Oh'' said Shippo
''We found that out when we were fighting the dragon Yutaka in the forest. But water does damage them, when dealing with their fire. I can use the element of water to help some against it.'' Said Sango
''I have sent my army to search out the dragons army and if and when found they will be placed in a prison hold for the time being.'' Said Lord Yuji
Shiro walked up to them and took a seat where all of the elder and leaders were and a few others.
''Many of the elves and some of the fox demons have agreed to gather food and remain close to the island. We will just need to keep their safe room open for them to hide in due to the volcano. ''Said Shiro
Everyone saw Kagome stand up and her sword out from around her sash and it changed back into the staff and took a seat back down.
''Takara wanted to be herself while not in battle.'' said Kagome
''Soon it will be dark and all of us need rest.'' Sesshomaru said looking at Kagome when he spoke about rest.
''I need a bath before it does get dark.'' said Kagome
''I would love to have a bath right now. '' Said Sango
Midoriko, Lady Inukameko, Rin, Lady Mayu and even Toran look to Kagome.
''I need one too.'' They all said at once and then laughed because of it.
Kai barked and Sakura and Umai meowed all in agreement to take a bath as well.
''There is a hot spring close by all of the females can go together and take one.'' said Kagome
Midoriko yelled out to all the other females.
''If any females wish to join us in a bath please follow.'' Midoriko said as they all stood up and left to the hot springs.
Miroku stood up as well.
''Where do you think you're going? '' Inuyasha asked as he held Miroku by the collar.
''Someone needs to keep a watch over the females.'' said Miroku
''They can take care of their selves. You already know what will happen if Sango or Kagome catches you.'' Said Inuyasha
Miroku's face paled.
''Yeah, I think my legs feel better. They were in need for a stretch. Now I can seat here a little longer.'' said Miroku
''That would be a wise choice.'' Sesshomaru said giving Miroku a look that said if you try it you're dead.
Kouga as well as a few others had also given him looks that said the same.
''Keh, at less you're not as bad as you use to be before your marriage to Sango.'' Inuyasha said as he took his seat once again.
Kouga and Inuyasha, Shippo as did Inutaisho went to laughing.
''What is so funny'' asked Shiro
''Takara said, she had never known or met a perverted monk before and for Miroku to stay the hell away from Kagome or she will zap and hurt him.'' Kouga said laughing.
''A staff that talks and is protective, threatens a poor little monk such as me. What is this world coming to.'' Miroku said scratching the back of his head as the rest around him went to laughing.
''Why didn't lady Kagome take the staff with her?'' asked Lord Daiki
''Kagome can now summon upon her no matter where they are.'' Said Inuyasha
#~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~#~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~#
''There is the staff. I was not aware it could also can change in to a sword.'' said Yutaka
''Nor did I, but it is good to know it will have more use. Now Time to wait for them to sleep. '' Said Lord Ryura
