Once Harry and Sara returned home, Harry found himself grounded for giving Sara the slip, while the demon slayer was given a new task while Harry was grounded. Sara was now overseeing the training of the demons who served as the Royal Guard, while Sesshomaru and Maria did fight when the need arose, they were delegating the Guard to handle rouge demons and policing the demonic village that the Palace was surrounded by; demons, humans and very many half-demons lived in the Capital of the Demonic World.
After the morning exercises with the guard, Sara was dressed as a civilian, plain jeans and a shirt, she walked out of the gates, since the gate guards were her friends, she headed into the shopping district.
Harry sighed as he watched his friend leave the grounds and he was stuck in his room.
After a week, Kikyo decided to seek an audience with the demons. She walked up the path and was met with the guards. Kikyo stared silently as the guards recoiled from the priestess' power. They sent word that a guest was here and seeking entrance.
Sesshomaru sniffed the air and scented a priestess, before anyone knew it. He was at the gate. The Western Lord's eyes widen at the miniature carbon copy of the feudal era walking dead.
Kikyo nods "I would say its good to see you but we met only once, when I placed an arrow in Suikotsu's throat, purifying him."
Sesshomaru let the girl in because he had many questions. He lead the way to the study and sat with his Lady.
Maria's eyes narrowed as the child-priestess.
Kikyo sat down and placed her hands in her lap. "I am Kikyo, reborn from the soul fragment that I possessed as the walking dead, I have memories of when I was alive and after I returned. I was reborn again to atone for my past sins."
The two demons nod and wondered why Kikyo was back this time.
Kikyo turned slightly, as Harry came running into the room.
"Harry, what have I taught you about running in the palace and about my study while the door is closed?" Maria questions, her golden eyes flashed to her adopted offspring.
"To knock first" Harry responds as he looked down at his bare feet.
"Perhaps, I can borrow him. I need to gather fresh herbs." Kikyo suggests as she looked at Harry. She couldn't shake the feeling, she was meant to be with him as a friend.
Harry looked over at the Priestess. He should have known better, but didn't think about what he was doing.
Maria nods and Kikyo took charge of the Demonic Prince. She stood and walked out of the room.
Harry scrambled to follow after the girl.
Kikyo went outside, and went into the woods that was on the way to her Temple.
"I thought you were joking about gathering herbs." Harry states
"Partly, I just wished to see you again." Kikyo responds as she continued into a meadow. She sat down, her bow to one side. "We shall gather herbs later, I will have you back before sunset."
