Chapter 5

Two years later

It had now been two years now since Kagome and Miroku had come to live with Sesshomaru. At first it wasn't all peaches and cream, at least for Sesshomaru anway, but after awhile all three learned to act as a family. For the first year, Sesshomaru still kept mainly to himself, other than helping Kagome and Miroku train their new youkai powers, while Miroku and Kagome continued to bond with each passing day.

Yes, it was true; both Kagome and Miroku were youkai, full youkai. At first no one knew what to make of their sudden transformation until Kagome and Miroku had a strange dream one night six months after coming to terms with their new changes. At that time Kagome and Miroku had begun training already and grew to love each other as sister and brother, which in fact they were.

Because of their blood bond that they shared with Sesshomaru they now had each other's blood running through their veins, bringing up some surprising results. Miroku now had the ability to purify youkai like Kagome, only he powered up his staff; and because he was so powerful, practically everything that touched it instantly disintegrated. Kagome now had Miroku's ability to produce ofudas to drive out youkai, and because of Miroku's added monk blood, she was able to completely master her priestess powers and could purify youkai without ever having to touch them, for she could shoot powerful miko blasts out of her hands (kind of like DBZ, but with miko powers). And even though she didn't need the bow and arrow as much because of this fact, she grew to be an even better shot than Kikyo ever was.

Miroku and Kagome picked up a few traits from Sesshomaru also. Besides their own youkai blood running through their veins, they also had Sesshou's Inu blood, making them quite a lot more powerful than a normal youkai. They also had some of Sesshomaru's markings, each bearing maroon stripes on their wrists, ankles, and waist. They also bore the crescent moon on their foreheads, which most of the time stayed invisible because of their own youkai markings. They also gained a half-moon tattoo on each of their shoulders. Kagome's was on her right and Miroku's was on his left.

Sesshomaru, much to everyone's surprise, had also gone through some changes, though the changes weren't so much as physical, as they were internal. Because of Miroku's monk blood, Sesshomaru gained some of Miroku's patience and wisdom that the monk always seemed to possess. But it was from Kagome's blood that Sesshomaru had changed the most. He now had better control over his emotions. He was able to laugh and have a good time and to enjoy the finer things in life. However, he did still ware his emotionless mask when battling a foe or speaking to someone who he did not trust.

Over time, Kagome, Miroku, Shippo, and Kirara had come to terms with their painful past. Oh, they still grieved for what might have been, but they had all learned to accept that things happen for a reason and were all eventually able to move forward without regrets.

Shippo and Kirara had also come to live with the three and as soon as Kagome turned full youkai, she officially adopted Shippo as her pup. Sesshomaru and Miroku became Shippo's uncles and once Shippo got over his fear of Sesshomaru, the pup learned to look up to the lord greatly.

Kagome and Sesshomaru now treated each other as brother and sister and had come to terms with their earlier attraction for each other. Oh sure Sesshomaru still thought her to be quite attractive, and the same goes for Kagome. But after coming to the decision that they wouldn't want to hurt their friendship by getting into a relationship, they had fully accepted each other as family and only grew to love and respect each other even more.

Soon after their training was officially completed, Sesshomaru made them generals of his army in the Western Land and Kagome and Miroku had become quite the feared warriors, although not as feared as Sesshomaru himself. They even got respect from the other Youkai Lords who'd taken to calling them for aid in times of need. It wasn't surprising considering who the lords were.

Soon after Naraku's death, Kouga took over for his father as Lord of the Eastern Lands. He had given up all prospects of having a relationship with Kagome and had mated with different demonness. However, the big shocker came when Kouga finally announced who his mate was; Kagura the Wind Sorceress. (Yes, that is what I said. I think if they got past Kagura's history they might actually like each other. Who know, it could happen. And nobody better flame me for that pairing. I just don't know anything about Ayame except she was engaged to Kouga at one point, only he didn't remember. And also judging from pictures, she just looks annoying. Kouga would need a strong mate anyway. So there!)

Kagome and Miroku accepted this whole heartedly after a time and Kagura had become a good friend to Kagome. She and Kagura would often spar and talk when the boys were off doing 'manly' things.

The Lord of the North turned out to be a Ruby Kitsune. His name was Rain and he was very kind. He was a youkai who never judged someone, whether they were youkai, hanyou, or ningen. His mate, Fiero, strangely enough, turned out to be a hanyou. Like her mate she had fire engine red hair, but she had red ears, tipped black. They both had red tails and carried a yellow lightning bolt on their foreheads for the sign of the North. Rain, just like his name sounds, was a weather kitsune, while his mate was like Shippo, where as she uses illusions and fire as her weapons. This helped a great deal, when Kagome finally relented in having someone train Shippo.

Kagome became good friends with Fiero also and allowed her to train her kit and as a result Shippo became very good with his illusions; so good that he is capable of copying any youkai or ningen and using their powers. (Do you get it? He can basically transform into anything he wants and control any type of power that comes with it. For example, let's say he creates the illusion he is a fire apparition like Hiei. He wouldn't be able to look exactly like Hiei, although he would look similar. He would basically look like a Shippo-Hiei and be able to duplicate Hiei's attacks such as his Dragon of the Darkness flame.) However, since Shippo is so young, he is only able to hold a different form for about 10 hours before he has to rest.

Kirara was still the same only now she protected Kagome as her new mistress and the two could usually be found fighting side by side.

So now here we are two years later as Miroku, Kagome, Shippo, and Kirara are planning to go live in the future now that their training is complete.

Kagome woke up that morning feeling happy, yet saddened. In less than a few hours she would be leaving the people she had learned to call her new family. After the deaths of her old friends she was twice as protective of her new family.

She yawned and stretched, opening her bleary eyes to greet the fresh morning. She was immediately assaulted by the smell of many servants scrambling about doing their many chores. She could hear them, even half a mile down the corridor, laughing and talking and going about their business.

Kagome thought back to two years ago when she'd first awakened to test her new senses, and smirked in remembrance. She'd immediately passed out because her sense of smell had heightened so dramatically.

She was used to everything now and learned to love the new her. Sometimes it was hard to believe she was ever ningen, being as how she was so comfortable being a youkai. She thought back and laughed remembering the first night. She'd been just as shocked as Miroku when they'd both appeared in each other's dream, only to find Midoriko waiting for them.

As she dressed, Kagome let a wistful smile wash over her features as she thought back on that moment.

Flashback:

It seemed like Kagome had just closed her eyes that night, exhausted from the painful transformation into a youkai, before she opened them again to find herself standing in a field of bright flowers. She looked around wondering where she was and how she got there.

"Hello," she called, hoping someone would answer her.

"Hello," another voice responded, although this voice sounded distinctly familiar and male. Kagome squinted to view the figure approaching. It was...Miroku.

She turned around and spotted him waving to her across the field. As she made her way over to him, she finally took the time to look him over. He looked....normal? Wait, normal? Didn't he turn into a youkai earlier? Reaching up to the top of her head, Kagome felt for the ears she'd felt earlier and to her shock they were.....gone!

She let out a confused gasp. Was everything just a dream?

It seemed like ages until they met each other in the middle, Miroku looking just as puzzled as she.

"Hello, Kagome," he spoke calmly, although he still looked quite confused. "What do you suppose we're doing here?"

"I don't know Miroku," she answered. "I was about to ask you the same question."

"Well that's easy. You're here because I brought you here." A soft and kind voice spoke, catching their attention. Standing there was.....

Okay, that's it!!! Haha, I left a cliffie, which I very rarely do. I like to complete things before they go on. So, anyway, here's the next chapter. Review and I might update soon then later. Oh, and as you can tell I'm making Sess and Kagome have a brother/sister relationship. I looked over the reviews and it was mostly a tie, so I just decided I would make it a Kag/Kur. And sorry, that I haven't introduced anyone from that show yet, but I'm getting to it. Just be patient. Well, thanks for reviewing so far. Everyone has been very kind and encouraging. Well, bye for now.
