Kagome and Youko were walking side by side with Kagome humming lightly to Shippo who was in her arms. "Kagome may I ask you who is Shippos father?" Youko asked her still looking strait ahead of them. "oh Shippo isn't my real son, he's my adoptive son" she smiled at Youko which made him blush lightly. "I see." Kagome looked at him for a minute then asked "why something wrong?." He smiled at her and shook his head "no I was just curious that's all"

Shippo cracked his eyes open and watched them while listening to what they were saying he snuggled closer to Kagome and closed his eyes smiling as he fell asleep. 'I'm going to get a new daddy soon..' were his last thoughts as he feel into the world of sleep.

They walked for a while putting distance between them and Inuyasha. Kagome was lost in her thoughts when she accidentally tripped and was about to fall until Youko caught her around the waist setting her gently back on her feet. She blushed and smiled at him "thank you" she giggled and kept walking. 'You're very welcome my Kagome' He thought to himself smiling. "It's time we started your training, now is a good a time as ever." She nodded and set her pack down pulling out her sleeping bag and setting the Sleeping form of Shippo on it. She walked over to Youko and asked "where do we start?" "hmm I thought that maybe we should start with basic fighting moves."

So it began he started teaching her how to dodge attacks and attack back. "alright come at me with your hardest punch." He stated as he just stood there. "your gonna get it now." She yelled as she came at him full force she punched him square in the chest sending him flying back a few yards and crashing into a tree splitting it in half. He stood up and looked at her shocked "Pretty good for a beginner, I didn't even see you coming as you sped towards me." She smiled and walked over to him to see if he was alright. "You alright Youko?" she asked him with worry. "yes I'm fine nothing but a few scratches here and there." Just to make sure she walked over to him and started looking him over she gently poked and prodded at his chest to see if anything hurt she looked up at him after a little while happy he wasn't hurt only to see that their faces were just a small space away. He closed the gap between then for a small kiss only to pull away a few seconds after before she could even react. "I'm sorry Kagome please forgive me." She was blushing a light pink as he apologized. When she didn't say anything he turned around and started walking away thinking she was mad at him.

Kagome was lost in her thoughts for a few moments thinking about what he just did 'did he just..kiss me?' she thought to herself then saw him starting to leave. "wait!" she shouted as she ran up to him and grabed his arm. "don't leave, it's alright.i.well.." she turned a deep red as he turned around to face her. "you what Kagome?" he asked her calmly. "I liked it." she said so softly he almost didn't hear it. He slid two fingers under her chin and lifted her face up. "Kagome this is so sudden are things moving too fast?" he asked her softly as he looked deeply into her eyes. "no" she replied as their faces got closer togeather. Their lips met, it was a shy kiss at first then it became a passionate one. Kagome wrapped her arms around his neck as his wrapped around her waist. They stayed like that for a while until they broke apart for some much needed air. (gives you an idea about how much time they spent in that kiss ne?) Kagome was blushing a deep red Youko smiled at her shyness and just held her for a while enjoying the closeness of their bodys.

Shippo saw the whole thing the little kit was sitting there his eyes as big as saucers and his mouth hanging open. After the shock wore off he jumped up and let out a glee filled yell "YAY I have a daddy now" Both Kagome and Youko heard this and looked over at him. Kagome was blushing and Youko was smileing. Youko looked down at Kagome then whispered something into one of her ears. "would you consider being my mate?" She nearly melted at his words she held him tighter as he asked. "yes Youko I will be your mate." She whispered back. 'Yes shes mine now. Not quite yet she isn't you still haven't claimed or marked her yet' a little voice in the back of his head reminded him. 'Ah yes I almost forgot about that, it will wait though she isn't ready for that yet.'

Inuyasha, Kikyo, Sango, and Miroku had been walking for a while now keeping up to Inuyasha's fast pace. "Inuyasha I sence a jewel shard" the soul stealing clay pot other wise known as Kikyo told him. ( oooooh I just want to take a hammer and smash her clay ass into dust -.-) Just as she spoke a huge Oni came crashing through the woods "give me the jewel shards!!" it screamed since Kikyo had some shards on her that she stole from Naraku. "Not on your life you filthy Demon!!" Inuyasha screamed as he drew Tetsusaiga going to charge at the Oni. It dodged the attack and swiped at his back leaving five deep gashes in his back. Inuyasha screamed and hit the ground. The oni smirked and headed towards Kikyo, Inuyasha saw this and screamed getting up and chargeing at the oni. He plunged the tetsusaiga through the onis back and jumped pulling up cleaving it in half with his sword. To his horror (and my delight ^.^) the oni sew itself back togeather and turned around knocking the tetsusaiga out of Inuyashas hand.

Kikyo just watched yawning boredly and trying to steal more souls while Inuyasha fought that is until the tetsusaiga was knocked out of Inuyasha's hands. She got up and readied her bow aiming for the shard in the onis forhead. "Time to die pitiful creature" she whispered as she let her arrow fly hitting her target the shard fell out of the onis head and just as Kikyo went to go pick it up it vanished.

Just as Youko and Kagome were packing up after training for a while a jewel shard fell out of nowhere and landed in Kagomes hand. It was purified as soon as it touched her skin. She blinked now confused 'where did this shard come from' she thought to herself. 'The jewel refuses to be touched by Kikyo any longer so all shards now found by either Naraku or Kikyo will appear in your hands, all those already found will stay with whom they were found by untill the final battle' the same voice that she heard in the woods told her.

Youko watched as the shard landed in her hand and saw it purify with her touch. He knew what had happened and smirked. 'So the undead miko can't touch anymore shards' he thought smugly. 'That's good at least no more shards will become evil.' He knew the legend of the jewel and knew what was to come he wouldn't tell Kagome though because he knew it would upset the fates greatly.
