Disclaimer: Here it is again. :-P. I don't own Inuyasha or Pokemon. But I do own Kami.
This chapter goes out to one of my best reviewers, A Sakura Tree and a Rose! Thanks for reading this story and liking what I wrote. That's a real confidence booster!

Chapter 8
"Mother?" exclaimed Kami.
The lady turned and smiled at her. Kami's eyes started to tear up. That smile was the very same smile her mother used to always give her. "Mommy!" she shouted, launching herself at the woman, who embraced her tightly. *But how did she survive the gunshot?*
"Kami," she said gently, "how I've missed you." Her own eyes were wet. "I'll never put you in danger again, never!"
"Uh…Kami? This is your mother?" asked Kagome, a little disbelieving. *There's something fishy about this. How could Kami's mother have gotten here, when she's not from this world?*
"Yes!" Kami smiled, looking happier than Kagome had ever seen her. "Mother, this is Kagome! She found me!"
"I see… nice to meet you, Kagome," said Miyako (A/N: remember, Kami's mother's name?), holding out her hand for Kagome to shake.
Kagome did, and felt a shudder run down her spine. She was getting an incredibly creepy feeling.
"I'm going to go see the others," she said, trotting down the dirt path to where the monk was sitting with Shippo. "That woman!" she whispered, even though they were out of earshot. "I don't think she's Kami's real mother!"
"No," said Miroku. "There's an incredibly strong evil aura surrounding her. Although she does have a nice figure," he added, earning himself a slap from Sango and Kagome with a cry of "PERVERT!"
Inuyasha snorted. "She smells just like Naraku, if you ask me."
"Kami looks happy with her mother," Shippo commented.
"Do you want her to die instead?" snapped Inuyasha. "I had to go without a mother too, you know, it's not that hard!"
"INUYASHA! SIT!" cried Kagome. "You are incredibly insensitive!"
~*Back to Kami and her mother*~
"Mother, I'm so happy you're alive! But how did you survive the gunshot?"
"I…that's not important right now, is it? The important thing is that we're together again, just you and me, forever." She hugged Kami tighter. "I'm so proud of you for keeping the Pokeball safe from the hands of Team Aqua and Magma."
"It was hard, Mommy," said Kami, "I almost got caught lots of times. How'd you get here?"
"Didn't you wish lots of times that I could be with you?"
"Yes."
"So wish granted then. Kami."
"Hmm?"
"Let's go somewhere private to talk, shall we?"
"Okay!" Miyako walked off into the nearby woods, with Kami following her.
~*Kagome's POV*~
*Where's that woman taking Kami?* Kagome thought. "We have to follow her!" she said out loud.
The others stood up and walked after Kagome.
~*Kami's POV*~
They had walked quite a ways into the woods. Miyako sat on a tree stump. "Kami, now that I'm back, do you want to give me the Pokeball so I can look after it now? I'm your mother, and I always want to keep you safe. It was terribly selfish of me to give this life-threatening thing to you; please forgive me!" Tears began to roll down her eyes.
"Mom! Don't cry!" Kami exclaimed, hugging her mother. "I've kept it safe all these years, haven't I?"
"Yes, but how awful it must've been to protect it and keep it safe! I bet you risked your life for it many times!"
"I did. But in the end, I always get lucky."
"One of these days you might not, sweetie. Don't you want it out of your hair forever and ever?"
"Well…"
"Stop, Kami!" shouted Kagome bounding out of forest underbrush. "That woman's not your real mother! If she was, how did she get here?"
Kami pulled away from Miyako's embrace. "Mom…how did you get here?"
Her mother's eyes had turned cold. "Not important right now. The crucial thing is that you give me that life-threatening Pokeball so that you are never in danger again!"
"But I…I want to keep holding it!" Kami declared, shocking everyone. "This has been my source of comfort for the past nine years! You made me promise never to give to anyone else, ever!"
"Do as I say, girl!" hissed Miyako. "Or else!"
"Or else what?" shouted Inuyasha. "The kid doesn't have to if she doesn't want to!"
"Oho, the brave defender, aren't you, doggie boy? Well…now you'll have to answer to me!" Miyako closed her eyes. An unholy black glow surrounded her. The glow enfolded her into its dark aura. When the glow receded, a woman in a short, dark purple dress (A/N: like Yura of the Demon Hair's), with one eye that was as red as Kagura's, the other a bottomless black pit like Kanna's. Her ebony hair floated around her head. She carried a heavy katana. "Now DIE!"
Whew! This chapter is pretty darn long! It took me awhile to write, because I had quite a case of writer's block. So what did you think? Don't worry, Kikyo haters, I have a special fate in store for her! Muahahahahahah! :-P
Until next time!
