No pitchforks for you. I just wanna know who she really is? Is it Kagome's reincarnation? Izayoi's? Fluffy-sama's mother? Sango's Reincarnation? Please oh please tell me! Great chapter, please update soon –Phalon22

No pitchforks? Well, that's a relief! I get hit enough by theevilpottedplant…You got one of your guesses right! It is in this chapter. How was the cliffy? Does that even count as a cliffy? I'm not so good at them, but I'm hoping that I have left you all in undeniable suspense!

LB: Yeah, yeah, onto the chapter! Hope you likes it! For those of you who are wondering, you will be seeing Kagura quite a bit in this fic. I haven't decided if it is going to be a Kagura/Sesshy or Akarui/Sesshy yet. So many difficult decisions…Opinions are welcome. We can take a vote! (assuming I have more than one reader) R&R! There are MANY surprises in this chapter, and I think I've screwed up a bit by shooting them out one by one right after one another, but there is also much Miroku/Sango-ness in this chappie! Happy Reading!

Disclaimer: For the bazillionth time (checks shoebox) I do not own Inuyasha! Never hurts to try though…Still waiting for the application papers to come back.

Chapter Three. The cliffy revealed!

Kagura sighed. "No, I suppose you never met her. Of course, I didn't either…I merely recognize her from an image I once saw, but never mind that…" she mused on, leading them in undeniable suspense. Inuyasha was nearly digging holes into his hands with his claws. "Tell us, dammit!" Kagura smiled. "Oh, fine. You take the fun out of everything, know that? This girl…Akarui…is the reincarnate of Sesshoumaru's mother." They were silent with shock as the wind-witch continued. "Like I was trying to point out, though your dear brother's hahaue had white hair, but other than that, it's so obvious. Painfully, almost. So I guess," she continued, "in some odd, twisted way, you," she pointed to Inuyasha, "and you," she gestured to Akarui, "are related?" She drawled the last word, enjoying their shocked expressions. Akarui couldn't say a word; she merely shrunk to the ground like a withered flower. Inuyasha gaped at them all. "What. The. Hell." Kagome was too stunned to reprimand his rudeness. She just stared…at Inuyasha, at Akarui, at Kagura, at Kanna, then at… "HENTAI!"

"I'm sorry, Sango…I merely thought that if I could just get your attention…" The slayer shunned him, securing her hiraikotsu back into place. Kagura blinked carelessly and regarded the demon slayer. She decided to spring some more news, just to see the reaction. "Oh, yes…I have something to tell you, as well." Sango glanced up, distracted. "Mm-hmm?"

"Kohaku lives." Sango froze. "He…he lives?" Kagura nodded, then changed the subject, clearly not about to continue. "So…now that his," she gestured to Miroku, "hand is kazaana-free, you two are…?" Sango had been about to murder Kagura for not telling her more, but found herself shaking her head, a discriminating blush tinting her cheeks. This infuriated Miroku. He had been trying all day to talk to her, but nooo….she just had to make it difficult! She kept hitting and ignoring him, then just when he had been so excruciatingly close, Kagura had arrived with all this distracting news. He threw up his hands in defeat, and strode over to her, kissing her. He had to admit, he was slightly pulled out of his bad mood by her expression. (A/N: I'm sorry. The expression is indescribable. If you can imagine a contortion of rage, adoration, surprise, shock, wistfulness, and utter disbelief, you've nearly got it.) "Kami, I wanted to do this in private, but you sure made it hard…"

"Miroku, what…?"

"Sango…Will you do me the honor of bearing my child?" If someone had looked away when he'd kissed her, they were looking back now! Kagome's eyes were starry with glee. Inuyasha was, as usual, clueless and Kanna was, as usual, eerily expressionless. Kagura was smiling in approval, Shippou's eyes were the size of inflating tennis balls, and Kirara was innocently picking a bit of dirt with her claw from her teeth. Akarui- (A/N: Wait a second! Where'd Akarui go?) Sango was speechless. "Sango…Are you crying?" Tears of happiness streamed down her cheeks as she nodded, throwing her arms around Miroku's neck. Kagome was about to emit a great, dramatic sigh to complete the moment, but instead screwed it up. "Where's Akarui?" (A/N: Wow…that was random. I wonder how long it took her to figure this out? Ha, I was faster than the miko…) Inuyasha groaned. "There are too many reincarnations to keep track of here…"

LB: MUAHAHAHA! MORE CLIFFIES! Muahaha- (hack, cough, gag, sputter, clears throat) Well…at least I hope that counts as a cliffy… Hmm….I wonder….Here is a HUGE hint in the preview of the next chappie! I've just about finished writing the next one...

Preview:

Inuyasha sniffed. "It smells like swamp water around here. I only know of one thing with that smell." Kagome gasped. "Him?" Kagura sighed. "Yes, him. Nasty little beast, isn't he?" Shippou tugged at Kagome's sleeve. "Who?"
