In the last chapter of 'Ears' Kirara handed Kagome the
Shikon no Tama,
but what will happen now that it has returned?
"So, I guess the real question is where your mother got it from," Miroku sighs sadly.
"You do realize that Sango is my mom, and you're my dad?" Kirara smirks as Miroku pales.
"Momma! Can we go to the beach?" Shippo hugs Kagome.
"That sounds like a wonderful idea Shippo!" Kagome smiles cheerfully, "Kirara, since you found the jewel, I'm putting it in your keeping."
"MY KEEPING?" Kirara gasps in horror as Kagome places the jewel in the young hanyou's palm. Kirara is frozen in thought, while everyone around her moves to get ready for their trip to the beach.
"Kirara, are you okay?" Miroku places his hand on his new daughter's shoulder.
"Dad…" Kirara turns to face him and hugs him tightly.
"Let's go!" Kagome smiles happily as she drags Inuyasha, Wren, and Shippo out the door.
"Kirara, would you like to go with them?" Sango asks quietly.
"Mom, can you two come with me?"
"I'm sorry honey, we have work today," Miroku sighs sorrowfully.
"Okay, I'll see you soon then," Kirara hugs both her new parents.
