Chapter 9
The angry youkai surrounded her and attacked her as one. She slipped out a dagger from
each sleeve into her two hands putting her purifying magic into them she threw them into
two of the youkai's hearts turning them to dust.
Bolt fought by her side, Yuri in a tree above watching slightly worried. There were a lot
of them and everytime they killed one, more came to take its place.
Noticing the same things as Yuri, Kagome became worried herself. Youkai didn't do this
unless..... a stronger power put them together. Inuyasha.
She formed an energy ball in her hands throwing it at an oncoming rush of demons
turning 30 youkai to dust. She was not doing well. There were so many it was hard to
defend from all attacks. Kagome was covered in cuts and blood but not about to give up.
Suddenly an arrow came whistling through the air and pierced through her shoulder. Her
cry of pain echoed through the forest and she fell to her knees. At this point the demons
stopped attacking as though waiting for something.
The demons moved to form a little row and steeping before Kagome stood Kikyo.
Kagome stayed on her knees panting in pain looking up at Kikyo. Bolt growled angerly
and moved against her mistress ready to do anything necesary to keep her alive.
Kikyo moved to stand before the injured girl and was slightly taken back when she saw
all the pain and hate in her reincarnation's eyes.
Kikyo's eyes changed from her dull state to that of pity. This girl-child was so strong. She
had wanted to hate her but all she could do was admire her. She had a large heart and
even after what she had been put through so far it was still as big as before full of love,
kindness, and trusting. She wasn't as naive about it anymore like she used to be. Yes her
reincarnation had gone through a lot and had changed a lot since she first saw her when
she had been brought back to life. She had grown up a lot more.
The girl on the ground still panting in pain put her arm the one that hadn't been pierced
and placed it on the arrow. She grabbed it and pulled it out. This time she didn't scream
but blood came from her mouth from biting her lip so hard to keep from screaming.
She purified it and threw it at a demon who had been coming to close to her for comfort,
striking it in its heart and turning it to dust. Kikyo silently applauded the 19 year old. She
still had a lot of guts and was still able to amaze her. Kikyo still her eyes full of pity just
looked down at the pained miko.
Kagome looked into Kikyo's eyes, seeing the pity she knew what she was going to do.
Instead of turning her over to Inuyasha as she had probably been told to do she was going
to kill her.
She bent her head. There was no way out of this. She heart the click of an arrow being
pulled back in it's bow ready to fire.
"Mommy" Yuri's cry rang throught the forest to late.
She fired the arrow at Kagome who screamed in pain for the second time that day. She
fell forward to the ground twitching before she lay still.
Kikyou motioned the other demons to leave.
Bolt transformed back to her smaller state and started to nudge Kagome meowing softly
as though hoping this would wake her mistress up.
Yuri dropped from the tree top and rushed to Kagome hugging her whispering things that
were quite heartbreaking. "You can't die. I love you. Don't leave me. Kagome... Mommy
please wake up."
Kikyou watched this startled. She didn't know. She truly didn't know she had adopted
another child. She probably wouldn't have done this if she knew.
Sure she knew that she had also adopted Shippo but he didn't know she was still here so
it wouldn't have hurt him.
A small tear slipped past her eyes.
She watched in amazement as Kagome began to move painfully moaning. She rushed
over to check her to find she was most definitely alive. She hadn't hit her in the heart but
in the stomach.(Is that bad aim or what?) She was bleeding badly but was asleep at the
moment. She quickly set to work cleaning and bandaging her wounds.
Bolt and Yuri watched her distrustfully. She had tried to kil her and now was trying to
help her?
After Kikyo was done she stood to leave. "I'm sorry." she said as she passed the two
small demons. "She'll be fine but is sleeping right now. Get her somewhere safe." she
then left.
Yuri looked to Bolt who quickly transformed and Yuri carefully placed the injured girl
on the huge cats back and sat by her.
The cat took off to an old cave that was close by. Once they entered it a pink burst of
energy came from the sleeping miko and zoomed to the doorway effectively sealing it
off.
Yuri and Bolt exchanged curious glanced but settled down by the one who was their
whole family.
Soon she was twitching in her sleep and shivering. Silent tears ran down her face and her
two companions who were worried began to hug her. Yuri whispering to her comfortably
and Bolt who rubbed against her.
***Kagome's dream of the fianl battle against Naraku***
They had been looking for jewel shards for three days now and getting nowhere.
Suddenly Inuyasha growled positioning himself before Kagome. "Sesshomaru. Come
out."
Sesshomaru suddenly appeared before them. Inuyasha pulled out the tetsuiga and was
about to strike at him when Kagome put a comforting hand on his shoulder. "Hold on a
sec. Inu." she said keeping her eyes on Sesshomaru.
"What is it wench?"
She ignored the insult for now. "Look behind him. What do you see?"
"What are you talking about? I don't see a - is that the human girl?"
"Yes Inuyasha. Don't do anything yet." she oredered.
"Hello Sesshomaru-sama." she said stepping out from behind Inuyasha and bowed
slightly at him.
He just nodded his head. "I'm here to offer my services." he stated cooly.
"You what?" Inuyasha said angerly. "You've been trying to kill us two years and you
calmly as you please say you're here to help." he looked angerly at his brother. "No way
in hell you bastard."
Kagome hit him over the head. "Watch your language Inuyasha. You're going to scare
Rin-chan." she said turning her eyes on the girl hiding behind Sesshomaru smiling
happily at her and received a broad smile back.
She turned her attention back to Sesshomaru. "Naraku has been stupid again I take it."
she remarked to the demon lord.
He nodded his head signifying she was correct.
"What do you mean Lady Kagome?" Miroku said standing next to Sango his hand
traveling south.
"Hentai." Sango yelled knocking him out with her boomerang.
"It seems Naraku has foolishly done something to Sesshomaru and now he's angry. He
could easily take him out but he has half of the Shikon no Tama so it makes it harder.
Am I not correct Sesshomaru?"
"You are correct." he said in his cool voice.
"I thought as much." she said a small smile on her face. "OK Kouga you can come out
too and try not to kidnap me will you?" she said laughing merrily.
"How did you know I was there Kagome?" he said as he came in front of them.
"Your jewel shards silly." she said grinning broadly.
"I-I came to give them to you and my services." he said.
She looked to Inuyasha with pleading puppy eyes. "Please Inuyasha? They would both be
such a great asset to the final battle. Please?"
He looked away from her. "Fine" he said stomping towards the woods angerly.
Her eyes followed after him filled with saddness.
"Kagome" a small voice yelled latching on to her let.
She looked down at Sesshomaru's young ward. "Hello Rin-chan. How have you been
since I last saw you?"
"Rin's been picking flowers."
"Oh." she said eyes full of laughter. The girl was truly a sweet child.
"Yes." she looked around. "Where is Shippo?"
Kagome pointed to a bush with a tail coming out of it. A mischevious smile on her face
Rin began to sneak towards the bush and suddenly jumped on it hugging it to her.
"Hello Shippo." she said laughing happily when the bush disappeared and Shippo was in
her arms.
"Hello Rin." the kitsune said laughing.
Rin let go of him and took off running with Shippo not far behind.
Kagome laughed at the two and put herself to the task of building a fire. Kouga noticing
her struggling went over to help her. She smiled at him thankfully. "You're truly a friend
Kouga." she said brightly.
He smiled down at her. "I wouldn't have it any other way."
"Neither would I. I prefer you as a friend." she replied.
She then began to start supper talking to Kouga asking him about those in his tripe.
He answered her and told her some funny stories about the misadventures of the pups
who tried their own at hunting.
After laughing with him she called everyone over to get some food. While they were
eating she and Sango talked about different plants for healing and drinks. When the meal
was over she set to the task of cleaning and drying their utensiles that they used.
When she was finished she had motioned Sesshomaru to her. "I can fix that if you'll
allow me to." she said motioning to his arm that was sliced off by his brother. He nodded
his head. She smiled at him and placed her hands on his arm, a pink cloud appeared
surrounding his arm. Then it disappeared leaving a new arm in its place.
He looked at her in confusion.
"Why?"
"You're helping us. This is something I could do in return. Besides you look better with
both arms." she said smiling and turned away from him. Suddenly she was tackled by
two hyper children who wanted her to paly. Everyone watched in amusement as the
kitsune and little girl chased after their "brave" miko who was running from them. Sango
and Miroku burst out laughing when the two tackled her again tickling her mercislessly.
"Oh mercy. Mercy." she cried out between her laughter. She gathered the two in her arms
and got even with them tickling them so much it took awhile for all three to catch their
breaths.
When Kagome got up she noticed six pairs of eyes watching her amusement written
plainly across their faces even Sesshomaru and Kirara (how does a cat do that anyways?)
She blushed slightly picking up the now sleeping children and placing them in their beds.
She then crawled into hers. When she turned onto her back she found two pairs of eyes
looking down at her.
"Kagome can we please sleep with you?"
"Please mommy?" the two kids said.
She nodded her head and they snuggled under the sleeping bag with her.
"Can you please tell us a story Kagome?" Shippo and Rin asked.
She smiled at them and began to tell the story of Cinderella. When it was done they were
asleep and once again she had an audience.
"What?" she asked flustered.
"Nothing Kagome. You just make a very good mom." Sango said to her.
Miroku nodded his head in agreement. "Lady Kagome." he began getting on one knee
and holding her hands in his. She knew what was coming. "Will you bear my child?"
"Why you..." he fell to the ground unconcious as Sango hit him hard on the head with
Kouga and Inuyasha.
Kagome laughed. "Good night you guys."
The next morning they resumed their search for Naraku. Kagome could sense a lot of
jewel shards so they knew they were getting close.
The group was traveling through a forest when Kagome noticed something that made her
freeze.
"So you sense it too." Sesshomaru's dull bored voice stated.
She nodded her head slightly.
"Notice what wench?" said who else but Inuyasha.
"There is no noise in the forest at all. All its inhabitants are gone." she said calmly
ignoring the wench statement.
Suddenly the presence of the shards changed. It was all around them!?!
"He's here" she yelled to everyone as the demons suddenly came from all directions
attacking. Everyone made a circle around Kagome and the kids to keep them safe.
"Where is he?" Mirkou asked fighting a giant centipede.
"I d-don't know." she whimpered. "He's all around us."
The demons kept coming. For every one killed twenty more came to take its place.
"Kukuku." Naraku's voice rang out. "Can't find me can you?" he asked mockingly.
"Naraku get your cowardly ass you here and fight like a fucking demon." a pissed off
Inuyasha yelled.
Something flashed by them and suddenly thirty demons disappeared. Everyone looked to
find the item was an arrow. They followed from where it came from to find Kikyou firing
another arrow once again killing thiry more demons.
Kagome gave a sigh of relief. She had been worried she wouldn't show up in time. She
remembered the long talk she had with Kikyou helping her let go of her hatred over
Inuyasha and realize what help she could be in helping destroy Naraku. She had
consented and when she departed she and Kagome were friends.
Kikyo ran to the group moving through the circle to get to Kagome. Giving her a quick
glance she spoke to her. "OK Kagome I agree to your plan. I shall watch the kids for you.
Be careful my reincarnation." Kagome flashed her a smile and broke out of the circle of
protection leaving flustered companions.
'I have to find that bastard.' She slipped silently into the trees doing two spells right
away. One to make her invisible the other to hide her presence so she couldn't be
detected.
She moved quickly through the trees careful not to make any noise to let others be aware
of her being there.
As she moved she became aware that the pull of the shards were stronger in a certain spot
so she kept moving in that direction when she found herself behind the real Naraku and
not one of his puppets.
She noticed he was looking at something with a lot of concentration and noticed it was
Kikyo and the children!?!
Suddenly he threw some dark object towards the three unaware people.
"No" Kagome yelled dropping her invisiblity she let loose an arrow that hit at their feet
forming a barrier around the whole group. The thing smashed into it disintergrating
instantly and the same went for any demon who rushed at it.
Naraku turned angry eyes on the young miko. "You have ruined my plans for the last
time."
He rushed at her pinning her to the ground. "I'll take these." he said grabbing the chain
around her neck that held the shards she and her friends had collected and broke it from
around her neck.
"Now I have the completed jewel." he said laughing crazily. Then he suddenly took them
and swallowed. Kagome watched in horror waiting for the transformation that would take
place on him. He grabbed his neck making a strangling noise then what seemed to be a
black fog or something covered him.
After a few minutes of silence of hoping he had died he stepped out, the fog dissapitating
around him, looking the same!?!
She moved to grab her bow which had been knocked out of her hands when he had
tackled her when something like a tentacle came from him and pierced through her right
shoulder. She gave a howl of anguish but forced herself up to face him.
"Kukuku. Never know when to give up do you?" he backhanded her across the face
sending her into a huge tree. She moaned in pain but stood up again facing him. 'I can do
this.' she thought to herself.
"Give up already." he said punching her in the gut. She doubled over in pain spitting out
blood.
She lifted her eyes, fire in them telling him she would make him pay. This look seemed
to frighten him a bit. He backhanded her again knocking her down to the ground where
he began to kick her mercilessly.
Her companions and the children watched this from the safety of the shield as demon
after demon crashed against it turning to dust.
Sango had tears in her eyes. Miroku, Inuyasha and Kouga had grim faces. Kikyo's face
was clear of emotion. She believed her reincarnation could do this. The two kids were
scared and clung to each other crying and Sesshomaru's face showed a hint of worry.
"Why doesn't she drop the shield so we can help her?" Inuyasha asked angerly watching
as she was picked up off the ground only to be knocked back down again.
"That's exactly the reason she won't drop it. She doesn't want your help." Kikyo said
calmly.
"H-how can she not want help?" Sango asked trembling.
"She was presented with a vision that showed her the outcome of the battle. Your side
would win but all of her companions would die but her in the end. She didn't like such an
outcome so came to me with a proposal for me to pose as her so she could sneak off and
get to him. Even if it meant her life she still wanted all of you to live."
"Stupid foolish girl." Inuyasha said angerly.
Sango glared at him. "How can you say such a thing when she is out there risking her life
for us Inuyasha? You are such a jerk." she said sobbing. Miroku held her against him
calming her down.
Sesshomaru spoke surprising everyone. "Personally I agree with the girl Inuyasha. You
truly are a stupid half breed."
Inuyasha began to growl and was about to speak when Rin suddenly yelled pointing her
finger in terror where Naraku and Kagome where fighting bringing everyones attention
back to it.
There was a huge boom and a black and pink like smoke covered the whole forest and
they couldn't see anything far out from the shield. They heard loud yelps, howls, barks
and growls then everything went silent.
Soon the smoke cleared and the shield disappeared. Looking around they saw demon
upon demon dead on the ground and they suddenly turned to dust.
The place Kagome and Naraku faught was not a huge crater with Naraku no longer alive
and evidently the same for their miko. They heard a small cough and everyone whipped
around weapons ready thinking it was a demon who had escaped its fate.
Out of the dust walked a very bloody and injured miko. Holding her hand up she showed
the completed jewel to everyone smiling in triumph.
Soon she was on the ground with two kids all over her, laughing over her pain as Sango
and Miroku gave her hugs helping her from the ground.
Kagome turned to Kikyo two kids now in her arms. "Thank you so much."
Kikyo nodded her head and walked off into the forest disappearing just as fast as she had
appeared at the beginning of the battle.
Suddenl Kagome's smile faltered as she fell to the ground setting the children down as
carefully as she could. Sango went to her "sister" having a whispered conversation with
her. Sango seemed to be talking to her with urgency as the miko stubbornly shook her
head no to whatever she was being told. Finally after a bit Kagome finally nodded yes
which made the other girl smile. She said something to her and Kagome said something
back to her that made the older girl turn pale and hiss in sympathy eyes filled with pity. It
seemed to everyone that Kagome also noticed the note of sympathy and the pity filled
eyes because she began to berate her friend making them both smile. Sango gave her a
hand up and they hugged each other as they walked to the rest of the group.
Sesshomaru motioned to the small girl who ran to him clinging onto his leg. Saying they
had to leave. "Thank you Sesshomaru-sama. You too Rin-chan you were a big girl."
Kagome said smiling.
"Rin is happy Kagome is fine." she paused frowning slightly. She looked to Shippo and
they both exchanged quick glances. "Be careful Kagome." she said then she and
Sesshomaru were gone.
Kagome was going to ask Shippo what that was all about when Inuyasha tapped her on
the shoulder. She smiled at him and led him far into the tree so they could talk alone in
private......
***end of dream***
Kagome woke up suddenly in fright. She looked around at her unfamiliar surrounding.
Finding Yuri and Bolt next to her she hugged them to her as she cried herself back to
sleep.
That dream was so real, almost like she was reliving it all over again.

Yay I think this is my longest chapter yet. I hope you all enjoyed and please review.

Chapter 9
The angry youkai surrounded her and attacked her as one. She slipped out a dagger from
each sleeve into her two hands putting her purifying magic into them she threw them into
two of the youkai's hearts turning them to dust.
Bolt fought by her side, Yuri in a tree above watching slightly worried. There were a lot
of them and everytime they killed one, more came to take its place.
Noticing the same things as Yuri, Kagome became worried herself. Youkai didn't do this
unless..... a stronger power put them together. Inuyasha.
She formed an energy ball in her hands throwing it at an oncoming rush of demons
turning 30 youkai to dust. She was not doing well. There were so many it was hard to
defend from all attacks. Kagome was covered in cuts and blood but not about to give up.
Suddenly an arrow came whistling through the air and pierced through her shoulder. Her
cry of pain echoed through the forest and she fell to her knees. At this point the demons
stopped attacking as though waiting for something.
The demons moved to form a little row and steeping before Kagome stood Kikyo.
Kagome stayed on her knees panting in pain looking up at Kikyo. Bolt growled angerly
and moved against her mistress ready to do anything necesary to keep her alive.
Kikyo moved to stand before the injured girl and was slightly taken back when she saw
all the pain and hate in her reincarnation's eyes.
Kikyo's eyes changed from her dull state to that of pity. This girl-child was so strong. She
had wanted to hate her but all she could do was admire her. She had a large heart and
even after what she had been put through so far it was still as big as before full of love,
kindness, and trusting. She wasn't as naive about it anymore like she used to be. Yes her
reincarnation had gone through a lot and had changed a lot since she first saw her when
she had been brought back to life. She had grown up a lot more.
The girl on the ground still panting in pain put her arm the one that hadn't been pierced
and placed it on the arrow. She grabbed it and pulled it out. This time she didn't scream
but blood came from her mouth from biting her lip so hard to keep from screaming.
She purified it and threw it at a demon who had been coming to close to her for comfort,
striking it in its heart and turning it to dust. Kikyo silently applauded the 19 year old. She
still had a lot of guts and was still able to amaze her. Kikyo still her eyes full of pity just
looked down at the pained miko.
Kagome looked into Kikyo's eyes, seeing the pity she knew what she was going to do.
Instead of turning her over to Inuyasha as she had probably been told to do she was going
to kill her.
She bent her head. There was no way out of this. She heart the click of an arrow being
pulled back in it's bow ready to fire.
"Mommy" Yuri's cry rang throught the forest to late.
She fired the arrow at Kagome who screamed in pain for the second time that day. She
fell forward to the ground twitching before she lay still.
Kikyou motioned the other demons to leave.
Bolt transformed back to her smaller state and started to nudge Kagome meowing softly
as though hoping this would wake her mistress up.
Yuri dropped from the tree top and rushed to Kagome hugging her whispering things that
were quite heartbreaking. "You can't die. I love you. Don't leave me. Kagome... Mommy
please wake up."
Kikyou watched this startled. She didn't know. She truly didn't know she had adopted
another child. She probably wouldn't have done this if she knew.
Sure she knew that she had also adopted Shippo but he didn't know she was still here so
it wouldn't have hurt him.
A small tear slipped past her eyes.
She watched in amazement as Kagome began to move painfully moaning. She rushed
over to check her to find she was most definitely alive. She hadn't hit her in the heart but
in the stomach.(Is that bad aim or what?) She was bleeding badly but was asleep at the
moment. She quickly set to work cleaning and bandaging her wounds.
Bolt and Yuri watched her distrustfully. She had tried to kil her and now was trying to
help her?
After Kikyo was done she stood to leave. "I'm sorry." she said as she passed the two
small demons. "She'll be fine but is sleeping right now. Get her somewhere safe." she
then left.
Yuri looked to Bolt who quickly transformed and Yuri carefully placed the injured girl
on the huge cats back and sat by her.
The cat took off to an old cave that was close by. Once they entered it a pink burst of
energy came from the sleeping miko and zoomed to the doorway effectively sealing it
off.
Yuri and Bolt exchanged curious glanced but settled down by the one who was their
whole family.
Soon she was twitching in her sleep and shivering. Silent tears ran down her face and her
two companions who were worried began to hug her. Yuri whispering to her comfortably
and Bolt who rubbed against her.
***Kagome's dream of the fianl battle against Naraku***
They had been looking for jewel shards for three days now and getting nowhere.
Suddenly Inuyasha growled positioning himself before Kagome. "Sesshomaru. Come
out."
Sesshomaru suddenly appeared before them. Inuyasha pulled out the tetsuiga and was
about to strike at him when Kagome put a comforting hand on his shoulder. "Hold on a
sec. Inu." she said keeping her eyes on Sesshomaru.
"What is it wench?"
She ignored the insult for now. "Look behind him. What do you see?"
"What are you talking about? I don't see a - is that the human girl?"
"Yes Inuyasha. Don't do anything yet." she oredered.
"Hello Sesshomaru-sama." she said stepping out from behind Inuyasha and bowed
slightly at him.
He just nodded his head. "I'm here to offer my services." he stated cooly.
"You what?" Inuyasha said angerly. "You've been trying to kill us two years and you
calmly as you please say you're here to help." he looked angerly at his brother. "No way
in hell you bastard."
Kagome hit him over the head. "Watch your language Inuyasha. You're going to scare
Rin-chan." she said turning her eyes on the girl hiding behind Sesshomaru smiling
happily at her and received a broad smile back.
She turned her attention back to Sesshomaru. "Naraku has been stupid again I take it."
she remarked to the demon lord.
He nodded his head signifying she was correct.
"What do you mean Lady Kagome?" Miroku said standing next to Sango his hand
traveling south.
"Hentai." Sango yelled knocking him out with her boomerang.
"It seems Naraku has foolishly done something to Sesshomaru and now he's angry. He
could easily take him out but he has half of the Shikon no Tama so it makes it harder.
Am I not correct Sesshomaru?"
"You are correct." he said in his cool voice.
"I thought as much." she said a small smile on her face. "OK Kouga you can come out
too and try not to kidnap me will you?" she said laughing merrily.
"How did you know I was there Kagome?" he said as he came in front of them.
"Your jewel shards silly." she said grinning broadly.
"I-I came to give them to you and my services." he said.
She looked to Inuyasha with pleading puppy eyes. "Please Inuyasha? They would both be
such a great asset to the final battle. Please?"
He looked away from her. "Fine" he said stomping towards the woods angerly.
Her eyes followed after him filled with saddness.
"Kagome" a small voice yelled latching on to her let.
She looked down at Sesshomaru's young ward. "Hello Rin-chan. How have you been
since I last saw you?"
"Rin's been picking flowers."
"Oh." she said eyes full of laughter. The girl was truly a sweet child.
"Yes." she looked around. "Where is Shippo?"
Kagome pointed to a bush with a tail coming out of it. A mischevious smile on her face
Rin began to sneak towards the bush and suddenly jumped on it hugging it to her.
"Hello Shippo." she said laughing happily when the bush disappeared and Shippo was in
her arms.
"Hello Rin." the kitsune said laughing.
Rin let go of him and took off running with Shippo not far behind.
Kagome laughed at the two and put herself to the task of building a fire. Kouga noticing
her struggling went over to help her. She smiled at him thankfully. "You're truly a friend
Kouga." she said brightly.
He smiled down at her. "I wouldn't have it any other way."
"Neither would I. I prefer you as a friend." she replied.
She then began to start supper talking to Kouga asking him about those in his tripe.
He answered her and told her some funny stories about the misadventures of the pups
who tried their own at hunting.
After laughing with him she called everyone over to get some food. While they were
eating she and Sango talked about different plants for healing and drinks. When the meal
was over she set to the task of cleaning and drying their utensiles that they used.
When she was finished she had motioned Sesshomaru to her. "I can fix that if you'll
allow me to." she said motioning to his arm that was sliced off by his brother. He nodded
his head. She smiled at him and placed her hands on his arm, a pink cloud appeared
surrounding his arm. Then it disappeared leaving a new arm in its place.
He looked at her in confusion.
"Why?"
"You're helping us. This is something I could do in return. Besides you look better with
both arms." she said smiling and turned away from him. Suddenly she was tackled by
two hyper children who wanted her to paly. Everyone watched in amusement as the
kitsune and little girl chased after their "brave" miko who was running from them. Sango
and Miroku burst out laughing when the two tackled her again tickling her mercislessly.
"Oh mercy. Mercy." she cried out between her laughter. She gathered the two in her arms
and got even with them tickling them so much it took awhile for all three to catch their
breaths.
When Kagome got up she noticed six pairs of eyes watching her amusement written
plainly across their faces even Sesshomaru and Kirara (how does a cat do that anyways?)
She blushed slightly picking up the now sleeping children and placing them in their beds.
She then crawled into hers. When she turned onto her back she found two pairs of eyes
looking down at her.
"Kagome can we please sleep with you?"
"Please mommy?" the two kids said.
She nodded her head and they snuggled under the sleeping bag with her.
"Can you please tell us a story Kagome?" Shippo and Rin asked.
She smiled at them and began to tell the story of Cinderella. When it was done they were
asleep and once again she had an audience.
"What?" she asked flustered.
"Nothing Kagome. You just make a very good mom." Sango said to her.
Miroku nodded his head in agreement. "Lady Kagome." he began getting on one knee
and holding her hands in his. She knew what was coming. "Will you bear my child?"
"Why you..." he fell to the ground unconcious as Sango hit him hard on the head with
Kouga and Inuyasha.
Kagome laughed. "Good night you guys."
The next morning they resumed their search for Naraku. Kagome could sense a lot of
jewel shards so they knew they were getting close.
The group was traveling through a forest when Kagome noticed something that made her
freeze.
"So you sense it too." Sesshomaru's dull bored voice stated.
She nodded her head slightly.
"Notice what wench?" said who else but Inuyasha.
"There is no noise in the forest at all. All its inhabitants are gone." she said calmly
ignoring the wench statement.
Suddenly the presence of the shards changed. It was all around them!?!
"He's here" she yelled to everyone as the demons suddenly came from all directions
attacking. Everyone made a circle around Kagome and the kids to keep them safe.
"Where is he?" Mirkou asked fighting a giant centipede.
"I d-don't know." she whimpered. "He's all around us."
The demons kept coming. For every one killed twenty more came to take its place.
"Kukuku." Naraku's voice rang out. "Can't find me can you?" he asked mockingly.
"Naraku get your cowardly ass you here and fight like a fucking demon." a pissed off
Inuyasha yelled.
Something flashed by them and suddenly thirty demons disappeared. Everyone looked to
find the item was an arrow. They followed from where it came from to find Kikyou firing
another arrow once again killing thiry more demons.
Kagome gave a sigh of relief. She had been worried she wouldn't show up in time. She
remembered the long talk she had with Kikyou helping her let go of her hatred over
Inuyasha and realize what help she could be in helping destroy Naraku. She had
consented and when she departed she and Kagome were friends.
Kikyo ran to the group moving through the circle to get to Kagome. Giving her a quick
glance she spoke to her. "OK Kagome I agree to your plan. I shall watch the kids for you.
Be careful my reincarnation." Kagome flashed her a smile and broke out of the circle of
protection leaving flustered companions.
'I have to find that bastard.' She slipped silently into the trees doing two spells right
away. One to make her invisible the other to hide her presence so she couldn't be
detected.
She moved quickly through the trees careful not to make any noise to let others be aware
of her being there.
As she moved she became aware that the pull of the shards were stronger in a certain spot
so she kept moving in that direction when she found herself behind the real Naraku and
not one of his puppets.
She noticed he was looking at something with a lot of concentration and noticed it was
Kikyo and the children!?!
Suddenly he threw some dark object towards the three unaware people.
"No" Kagome yelled dropping her invisiblity she let loose an arrow that hit at their feet
forming a barrier around the whole group. The thing smashed into it disintergrating
instantly and the same went for any demon who rushed at it.
Naraku turned angry eyes on the young miko. "You have ruined my plans for the last
time."
He rushed at her pinning her to the ground. "I'll take these." he said grabbing the chain
around her neck that held the shards she and her friends had collected and broke it from
around her neck.
"Now I have the completed jewel." he said laughing crazily. Then he suddenly took them
and swallowed. Kagome watched in horror waiting for the transformation that would take
place on him. He grabbed his neck making a strangling noise then what seemed to be a
black fog or something covered him.
After a few minutes of silence of hoping he had died he stepped out, the fog dissapitating
around him, looking the same!?!
She moved to grab her bow which had been knocked out of her hands when he had
tackled her when something like a tentacle came from him and pierced through her right
shoulder. She gave a howl of anguish but forced herself up to face him.
"Kukuku. Never know when to give up do you?" he backhanded her across the face
sending her into a huge tree. She moaned in pain but stood up again facing him. 'I can do
this.' she thought to herself.
"Give up already." he said punching her in the gut. She doubled over in pain spitting out
blood.
She lifted her eyes, fire in them telling him she would make him pay. This look seemed
to frighten him a bit. He backhanded her again knocking her down to the ground where
he began to kick her mercilessly.
Her companions and the children watched this from the safety of the shield as demon
after demon crashed against it turning to dust.
Sango had tears in her eyes. Miroku, Inuyasha and Kouga had grim faces. Kikyo's face
was clear of emotion. She believed her reincarnation could do this. The two kids were
scared and clung to each other crying and Sesshomaru's face showed a hint of worry.
"Why doesn't she drop the shield so we can help her?" Inuyasha asked angerly watching
as she was picked up off the ground only to be knocked back down again.
"That's exactly the reason she won't drop it. She doesn't want your help." Kikyo said
calmly.
"H-how can she not want help?" Sango asked trembling.
"She was presented with a vision that showed her the outcome of the battle. Your side
would win but all of her companions would die but her in the end. She didn't like such an
outcome so came to me with a proposal for me to pose as her so she could sneak off and
get to him. Even if it meant her life she still wanted all of you to live."
"Stupid foolish girl." Inuyasha said angerly.
Sango glared at him. "How can you say such a thing when she is out there risking her life
for us Inuyasha? You are such a jerk." she said sobbing. Miroku held her against him
calming her down.
Sesshomaru spoke surprising everyone. "Personally I agree with the girl Inuyasha. You
truly are a stupid half breed."
Inuyasha began to growl and was about to speak when Rin suddenly yelled pointing her
finger in terror where Naraku and Kagome where fighting bringing everyones attention
back to it.
There was a huge boom and a black and pink like smoke covered the whole forest and
they couldn't see anything far out from the shield. They heard loud yelps, howls, barks
and growls then everything went silent.
Soon the smoke cleared and the shield disappeared. Looking around they saw demon
upon demon dead on the ground and they suddenly turned to dust.
The place Kagome and Naraku faught was not a huge crater with Naraku no longer alive
and evidently the same for their miko. They heard a small cough and everyone whipped
around weapons ready thinking it was a demon who had escaped its fate.
Out of the dust walked a very bloody and injured miko. Holding her hand up she showed
the completed jewel to everyone smiling in triumph.
Soon she was on the ground with two kids all over her, laughing over her pain as Sango
and Miroku gave her hugs helping her from the ground.
Kagome turned to Kikyo two kids now in her arms. "Thank you so much."
Kikyo nodded her head and walked off into the forest disappearing just as fast as she had
appeared at the beginning of the battle.
Suddenl Kagome's smile faltered as she fell to the ground setting the children down as
carefully as she could. Sango went to her "sister" having a whispered conversation with
her. Sango seemed to be talking to her with urgency as the miko stubbornly shook her
head no to whatever she was being told. Finally after a bit Kagome finally nodded yes
which made the other girl smile. She said something to her and Kagome said something
back to her that made the older girl turn pale and hiss in sympathy eyes filled with pity. It
seemed to everyone that Kagome also noticed the note of sympathy and the pity filled
eyes because she began to berate her friend making them both smile. Sango gave her a
hand up and they hugged each other as they walked to the rest of the group.
Sesshomaru motioned to the small girl who ran to him clinging onto his leg. Saying they
had to leave. "Thank you Sesshomaru-sama. You too Rin-chan you were a big girl."
Kagome said smiling.
"Rin is happy Kagome is fine." she paused frowning slightly. She looked to Shippo and
they both exchanged quick glances. "Be careful Kagome." she said then she and
Sesshomaru were gone.
Kagome was going to ask Shippo what that was all about when Inuyasha tapped her on
the shoulder. She smiled at him and led him far into the tree so they could talk alone in
private......
***end of dream***
Kagome woke up suddenly in fright. She looked around at her unfamiliar surrounding.
Finding Yuri and Bolt next to her she hugged them to her as she cried herself back to
sleep.
That dream was so real, almost like she was reliving it all over again.
