Chapter 8

Two demon brothers slept on peacefully unaware of the occupants in the little hut starring at them curiously. When the rest of the group finally made it back to the village they all hurried into Kaede's hut fearing the news they would receive of Kagome health.

Sango, not wanting the younger two of the group Shippo and Rin to see there adopted mom and sister in such a horrible state, requested they wait outside until she called them in. Both children whined wanting to be with their mother and sister, but was firmly told that they might be in the way causing Kagome to be injured further with that said both kids accepted that they had to wait. After making sure the kids understood she left Kirara in charge of their safety and slipped inside the hut. The first sight to greet her was two sleeping demon brother cuddled up against a rather bloody Kagome. The sight was absolutely weird to her. She could not find any answer to why both brother were the way they where. Another question plaguing her mind was why where the two demon brothers tied together at the wrist to her friend and little adopted sister. Turning to Kaede who had just been sitting there as Sango inspected the weird scene stoking a fire she asked motioning to there bindings. "Kaede why are they binded to Kagome and what has made them so exhausted they sleep unaware of there surroundings."

Kaede looked up at Sango and glances at the monk Miroku who Sango had not noticed yet.

"As I was telling Miroku here Kagome was badly injured healing her wounds was not enough she need blood more then a human could supply. So, Lord Sesshoumaru told us about a family bonding ritual that would insure Kagome recovery."

Sango worry for her sister life eased a little but she still prayed that it had worked. Looking at Kaede again she asked. "When shall they awake?"

Kaede shook her head and replied." I know not how long a ceremony like this takes."

Sango knew the little children outside the hut would not want to wait to much longer before wondering inside the hut. Still worried about them seeing Kagome in this shape covered in blood and slight ripped clothes she asked Kaede if she had a blanket so she could cover most of the damages from the children eyes.

Taking the blanket from Kaede she thanked her and draped the blanket carefully around Kagome body making sure not to disturb the two demon bonded wrists to the girl.

As the children where allowed in they both hugged the members of this strange ritual and laid down to rest for the night.

One week had passed and still the two brother slept on along Kagome. Neither occupants made a sound only moving once in awhile to press further against Kagome. Everyday Sango had careful washed her friends body which was a little difficult from the way the two brother would constantly press further into her when she approached them. With a lot of difficult the first time she managed to cut the rather ruined clothes from Kagome body leaving her still incased for some modesty in her strange future under clothes that Kagome had once told Sango they where called a bra and panties.

With the blood removed from her body her skin slowly began to turn to normal instead of the pale white color it had been for the first day. Moving to her hair Sango gathered a bowl of warm water and slowly managed to lay her head back into it after it was thoroughly soaked she would wash the dirt away by lathering the strange sweet smelling Liquid Kagome had told her was called Shampoo. Making sure it was clean she wrung the water from her hair after rinsing it and dried it with one of Kagome towels she had found in her pack. With that done she took the young girl brush and brushed the tangles from it and braided it back to keep it from her face. Finishing she moved over to Inuyasha and proceeded to wash his face and hands debating on wether to wash his hair. Quickly deciding she began to do the same for him and then brushing the tangles from his face. As she moved over to Sesshoumaru and reached over to began to clean his wrist shot out capturing hers in a tight grip. Then he proceeded to growl at her. When she looked over to demand the release of her arm she noticed he was still in a deep sleep and his reaction must be caused by his insist at survival. Finally being able to pull her arm back she quickly brushed his hair and washed his face before he attacked her again which wasn't easy everytime she got close she had to dodge his clawed hand trying to swipe her. Finishing she stood over the three and looked at her work. "Much better ." She thought. Collecting her supplies she left the hut dumping the now dirty water out. Placing them beside the hut she began to wander around the village in search of the kids to see if they where safe. Finding the two playing tag with the other village she turned around to head back to the hut coming across Miroku who had been Meditating. "Good afternoon Lady Sango." Miroku greeted.

Sango replied with a greeting of her own then sat down next to the monk warning him not to grope or she would make sure he never had any kids. Glancing over at Miroku who was still in meditation Sango studied his profile. His long dark hair kept back in a ponytail draped across his shoulders. Sango loved his hair and itched to pull the leather strap loose and run her finger through it. Catching on to what she had been thinking she turned away with a blush when Miroku opened his eyes and saw the pink flush across her cheeks.

Miroku smirked at her embarrassed flush he knew she had been looking at him he could feel her warm brown eyes glazing at him as he meditated.

Miroku calmly looked over at her and asked. "How is Kagome doing?"

Sango looked at the monk and answered. " I guess as about as well as you can expect being bonded and crushed in between two demon brothers."

Miroku heard slight laughter in her voice and soon they where both laughing at their friends situation. All of a sudden they heard a loud scream coming from inside the hut. Turning to each other they smiled and Sango said. "I guess Kagome is awake and not to pleased with the situation."

Miroku getting up and holding his hand out to help Sango said." I guess we should get in there before she ends up killing someone or Sesshoumaru kill her." Sango took his offer of help but not before warning him if his hands should wander he wouldn't have a need of asking any woman to bare his child again because she would make sure he never could bare one. After Miroku agreed and helped her they both head in the direction of the hut.
