A/N: Hopefully you enjoyed the last chapter. I only own my original characters and the plot, nothing else sadly. *pouts* Anyways on with the story. Oh yeah! Promise not to kill me for later chapters. Till next time!

The twinge that Mae had felt in her stomach had not stopped it only kept getting stronger as the days passed. She knew that it had to partially do with the well by now.

It has been nearly a month since this odd gut feeling had started. With each passing day, she grew more and more anxious. Sighing she watched Kagome run around the Goshinboku and playing in the leaves.

It still surprised Rina and Jin that she already looked like a three-year-old when she was only around a year and a half. Mae didn't want to cause them any alarm and let them know that she'd be growing again soon.

With the power levels that Kimo and herself have, it didn't surprise Mae that Kagome would grow so fast. All demon children grew at an accelerated rate when in times of war or major stress.

And though they were as safe as they could be Mae knew it wasn't enough. Her dear butterfly was in for a long and arduous journey at some point soon in her short life so far.

Mae looked up as she heard Kagome yell and caught her as she jumped towards her.

"Hello, butterfly, what are you so excited about?" Mae asked as she held her daughter close.

"No reason mama just happy to be here with you is all," Kagome muttered as she took in her mother's scent. The little girl knew that something was about to take her mother from her and that she wouldn't be able to do anything about it.

The thing that scared her the most is that she couldn't see anything else in the future past her mother's disappearance.

Getting up Mae cuddled Kagome close and walked into the house and went into their rooms.

"I have something special for you little love. You must promise me you will never take it off," Mae said quietly as she pulled an odd colored box from their closet and sat it on the bed.

Jumping from her mothers' arms Kagome landed on the bed and sat crossed legged waiting. "I promise I won't remove it ever mama. I don't want to lose anything you give me!" Kagome said excitedly waiting to see what the surprise was.

Though she was growing fast, Kagome was still just a small child. Mae chuckled and pulled the top off the box and took out a silver chain with a pink sphere on the end of it. In the sphere was an oddly shaped star and what looked like a small flame of fire.

Kagome's eyes widened in astonishment and giggled. "Wow mama, I didn't think I'd get that now. How come you're giving it to me now?"

Mae's eyes became slightly sad and she sat down next to Kagome on the bed. Holding the necklace up she put it over Kagome's head and watched as it settled around her neck and shrunk to fit her small stature.

"I didn't know if you knew about anything just yet butterfly. But, I gave you the necklace now because I don't want anything to happen to you if I'm ever gone," Mae said quietly wiping away her tears.

Whimpering Kagome stood up and wrapped her tiny arms around her mother's neck and hugged her tightly. She knew bits and pieces and she had seen this conversation before.

"I've seen some things mama but not very much. There's no way to connect some of the visions. They don't come in any order most of the time," Kagome said as she kissed her mama's cheek.

Mae nodded her head and smiled sadly. She felt her senses go on high alert as her beast woke up and was growling loudly in her head.

Crying harder now Mae placed Kagome on the bed. "I need you to lay down little love. It's time for you to take a nap."

Kagome wanted to cry herself but did as her mother said and got under the covers and slipped into a light slumber.

Mae shuddered as she felt the violent pull on her soul to move towards the well. Knowing that she wouldn't be able to fight it for long she sighed and chanted a spell her own mother had taught her.

She didn't think she'd ever have to use it but, now was the time. It would turn her little snow neko into a human. So that she wouldn't be recognized if anyone came looking for her.

The spell would keep Kagome's demon side, powers and all, hidden until she either became of age or found her soul mate and acknowledges them.

As she watched her little girl lose her tails, markings, and elfin ears, she cried. Finally, as Kagome's transformation finished she was now the size of an actual one and a half-year-old child. Her daughter wouldn't remember her once she woke up. Getting up and grabbing the small bag that she had packed, Mae walked down into the living room and noticed that Rina, Jin, and Jin's father were there.

They all looked solemn and lost as if they knew that she was leaving. She looked to the floorboards and muttered quietly. "I am leaving, I have turned Kagome into a human, and I was hoping you would agree to adopt her and raise her as your own. She will need all the love and protection she can get. I fear she will have a hard and strange life in the future."

Rina's eyes welled up with tears and she went and hugged the grieving mother. Mae couldn't help but feel her knees buckle as her friend's arms encircled her. She knew she would most likely never see her daughter again. As soon as they agree to adopt the tiny babe, she would take on the appearance of them. At least she should, that way she could fit in with the humans that she would undoubtedly grow up with.

Stepping back Mae wiped away her tears and held out a scroll that would bind Kagome to Rina and her family. It was only a formality so that Kagome would have another form of protection no matter what.

Rina took the scroll and sighed as Jin came up behind her hugged her close. Mae chanted a spell and the scroll glowed and encased the two humans in a silver glow.

Mae smiled tearily and shook her head giving Rina and Jin one last hug. She will miss them dearly and she could only hope to meet them again one day.

Standing back from them Mae grabs her bags and walks out of the house. Not looking back as her friends start to shout for her to stay, but she couldn't. No matter the outcome or how she felt right now, she knew she needed to be by her mate's side.

Even if it meant leaving their child behind. Looking down into the well Mae shivered and took one last look back at her friends home and jumped into the well.

As the blue lights engulfed her, her vision went black. All she could do was hope to get back safely.

Back to her own time. Back to her hopefully alive mate.
