Chapter 14


Kagome woke up with the smell of smoke and the electrical fell of immediate danger set her on edge. Her head throbbed painfully. And blood oozed over her. but it didn't take her any time to gather her weapons. She scanned around her immediate surroundings and found a lot of snapped metal. And smoldering Ashe. Her eyes widened in confusion. The whole avengers building that she put a lot of work into with capsule corp tech has exploded around them. and they were buried in the rubble. Stepping carefully watching where she was walking, kagome picked up a direction and started towards it. looking around for any sign of life. Or any of her friends and family. She reached out and found some form of people alive. That was when spirit found her.

"oh, my kagome we were so worried about you. but everything is ok. People are coming back. the birds are coming back as well. and well this person landed next to me." said spirit

"Put him down right now." demanded kagome

Kagome pointed to a nearby spit that appeared flat enough. And kenpachi quickly put the kid down. Kagome placed her hands on his head and drew up some of her power running them over his body only to find out that there was not much damage done to him, so she healed him. as a shockwave of Thor energy washed over them. And their hair on their arms stood up. that has been a lot of power. a measure that Thor had not used in some time. Kagome groaned as she reached out once more. found the others who she knows. And now she felt Gamora was there as well. that meant something had happened and that something is not going to be a good thing. And she can't handle the fact that Thanos is alive once more.


Meanwhile a little while later

It was a little slower going than she would have wished even though she was using all her demonic speed a lot with the others. but she kept close track of how her fellow fighters and friends and family were doing. even though she trained them all. So far things were stable enough, but then she felt tony power dim a bit. So that meant he was knocked out or something, as she was throwing caution into the wind. Kagome summoned up a barrier and swelled it out above her. blowing a hole through the top of the mound of metal and glass as it melted away with the acid and miasma. The devastation surrounding her was sobering. And in the center of it all stood there was Thanos. Surrounded by a horde of alien warriors ready to tear them all apart.

Steve stood there straight his weary spine with her daughter Rosalie right next to him. and he and she tightened their straps, they had the same uniform on. It made her happy. as he held his arm. Pain and exhaustion darkening his soul. Kagome sent some power into him so he could continue going. thanos didn't move. Watching them curiously with a dark and evil smirk. She couldn't wait to wipe it off his face. there was no recognition for her though. Only anger and hatred she wondered at that. but not having him call her that awful name ever again. Was certainly a blessing she was not about to take that for granted. She was not quite halfway to Steve and her daughter's side when the air shifted and shimmered. Kagome let out breathless gasp as glittering golden portals opened out of nowhere. As people of all kinds were flowing out along with her long-lost friends and family who had been taken from her from Thanos.


Meanwhile a few hours later

The battle was joined with forces that rivaled many of her battles that she has been in. Scott had emerged from the compound wreckage larger than life and carrying the rest of their buried friends and family that was stuck. Kagome started to feel the energy of the stones. And her powers flared higher in response to that power. and part of her that Is her soul that housed the jewel. It surged up and she fell in her soul where it stepped up next to her higher consciousness. It pulled up her power, kagome knew it was time for her to act. Kagome took hold of three strands of power that resided inside of her. The ones she always kept separate and drew her up individually only when she really needed them. and she twisted them together into a tight sizzling chord that she was uncertain she would never be able to separate every again. Since this is the first time, she was using this power. but when she felt the stones ignite nearby, she knew separation was no longer an option. Well not on the battlefield that is. and not among her friends and family.

Kagome latched onto the power from the gauntlet, one that was tipped more towards the light ringed with tony start soul wavelengths. And fed the chord of her powers into it. her soul found the core of the soul stone and broke it. calling forth those from their ranks that had been sacrificed for it. she called back the souls of the Asgardians Thanos had killed by his hand, his last personal kills before purging the universe with ancient magic, she felt the pleading call of a stranger soul attached to the mind stone. And she pulled it forwards as well. It's great being the soul king's child. but finally, she harshly holding hostage all her power and attention and leaving her oblivious to the decimation of Thanos and his forces and the life he returned to precious souls that was not ready to cross over to the soul society. For now, her eyes were still blazing and only saw the spiritual plane where some soul reapers and mainly for the relatives for the soul king to see. As the thread of her powers in her combined ability flashed forward and pulsed.

Kagome started calling to something somewhere far away from her. her powers fortified her and the jewel and being the soul king child and other powers. Opening the portal to a distant dusty forgotten corner of space. It must be a space version of one part of the soul society. She cried out in amazement and relief when before her eyes floated Loki body. Frozen in its final moments and encased in the shining pink shell of one of her protective barriers. She pitched forwards and nearly fell through in her frantic need to get to him. but a strong arm wrapped around her waist and steadied her. she flashed back to see it was genyu who was smirking. Tears and much blood on his face. genyu sighed in relief she was ok. His wife would have skinned him alive if he didn't find her. but then again so would king cold and frieza and cooler. But now he had her. and very proud of the feats that she had done so done. And so is king vegeta as well he was bragging about how well his daughter is doing in what she was meant to do when she did this.

Kagome smiled gratefully her own tears falling in a rush of happiness and released of so much grief that she had been holding in. and she turned back around and leaned through the portal. Calling back the power left behind her and concealing her heart from the harness of the opened universe. Kagome drew in through the portal and opening and then laid him on the ground to rest before bursting the bubble of her powerful shield around him., Kagome watched as her father use the sword of the soul king. the one she could have used by she didn't know how to summon it.

"My beautiful princess. The sword spoken." Said vegeta

Kagome gasped at what her father had just said before tossing the necklace in the air. With one swing of the soul king sword he shattered the orb with the blade of the sword. And then plunged the blade into Loki chest. It caused no arm. But created a channel to funnel his soul back into the body it belonged to. and Kagome watched in awe at her father. His body flashed and his wounds were healed. And Kagome watched with hope. Finally, after an eternity in moment he took his first gasping breaths that sputtered into a pained cough. And Kagome threw herself at his chest. Sobbing into his clothing. No longer aware of anything or anyone but him and how real and solid he felt and alive he was. She sat up and relieved the pressure she placed on his chest. And he took several deeper cleansing breaths while she peppered his face with kisses and tears. As his strength returned gingerly sat up. making no protest as she fell into his lap. Wrapping his arms around her as thought as he was able.


Meanwhile a few hours later

Sticky clouds of steam closed them in on all sides. Obscuring their vision past the sleeping glass walls and narrowing their world to only the place they stood entwined under the shower water. The grit and grime of war from their nude bodies sped down the drain. But they remain still. Unmoving to part from each other than barest of centimeters. After so many years apart they wouldn't waste a moment together. Kagome blinked lazily and watched the steam swirl and churn. Soothed by the feel of loci hands rubbing up and down her back. three times in nearly ten years since he fell off the Bifrost she seen him. heard his voice. But this was the first time she had been able to touch him. and she felt as if she couldn't get close enough.

Usagi never wanted to lose contact with him again. Rom her spot in his lap on the battlefield she seen the last of Thanos army in the dust. Watched as her friends and family had a tearful reunion. While she was able to watch her sons and daughters see their soul mates and Thor kissed rangoku. As if he was finally able to accept the soulmate bond. While Kagome din tangled from Loki just long enough to step back with the rest of them all. and allow dr strange harness the power of the time stone and put the avengers compound back together. And most of all the return of tony stark to the world of the living to be back with his wife and daughter. Many had tried to corner her and thank her for everything that she had done. Most of all a woman named Wanda who happened to be Pietro's sister and magneto's daughter. They wanted to thank her for returning vision to them. and a man named peter had wrapped her in an unexpected bare hug and sputtered a broken thank you for returning Gamora. But she was in no mood to be polite to anyone. so, Loki wordlessly scooped her up and flashed away. Blinking back to being in the hallway and following her quiet direction to her rooms.

But then again how many remained in the compound. How many had tried to go to their own homes. All she cared about now was the sweet healing of isolation she found when her retuned king. loki sighed and releasing the tension that broke up a bit by bit in his arms. He gathered that some time has passed since he died at thanos hand. But the last time he remembered was the visceral disappointment he felt that his years of searching for her had abruptly ended, he longed to find her and hold her this way again. Not only had a gift she given to him so long ago saved his life. But she found him and pulled him from nothingness and back to the world of the living. Back to her. he never doubted the woman he tied himself to for all of eternity was extraordinary. But now there could be no doubts whatsoever on that score.

Kagome had no idea what the others were doing now. how many remained in the building. How many had tried to go to their own respective home. All she cared about now was the sweet healing isolation o=she found with her returned prince. Loki sighed releasing the tension he had been holding in. and broke up bit by but the longer he had her in his arms. He gathered that some time had passed since he died at thanos hands. But the last thing he remembered was the visceral disappointment he felt that his years of searching for her had stopped and ended. He so longed to find her and hold her this way again. He failed in doing so. but she had not failed in doing what she wanted. Not only had the gift given to him so long ago saved his life. But she then found him and pulled him from nothingness and back to the world of the living. Back to her where he belonged. Loki never doubted the woman he loved deeply for. But now there could be no doubts whatsoever on the score. Kagome snugged into his chest and then kissed his heated flesh. Her arms tightened ever so tighter around his waist.

Kagome knew he was sure she would step into his skin with him if she could. And he would let her without a single thought. Loki tightened his own arms around her in return. And then pulled back. She looked up at him in question and he studied her face. recommitting everything to memory. He caressed her cheek with the bare of his hand. And when her eyes fluttered closed, he pressed his mouth to hers. She melted against him, as she moaned out his name. something he always loved hearing from her beautiful mouth. Even though right now he wished to get some form of sleep. since he has yet been brought back from the dead. And now he could feel his beloved exhaustion as well. She did, after all brought a lot of people back to life. Including himself. And brought people back that could probably never come back, she has even been able to bring Lucius back in which he was confused on what was going on. but he hasn't had the joys of getting to know his new friends and family.

"Darling come to bed with me my love." Purred Loki

Kagome eyes snapped opened as they showed the desire of what she wanted to do. as she was led from the bathroom into the room they would spend the night wrapped into each other's arms. Well after a long fight and battle and return to reach other sides. While everyone else in the building was doing the same things. Even though some of them were still praising her for what she had done for lots of them. it would seem that they have made a very powerful ally and friend. And the soul king was a very interesting man but left to go and see his wife. Who stark wanted to meet, but for loki he was worried for once in his life to meet his wife friends and family. Plus he is a step father as well. so that is something new for him. but then again he wanted to be a father and something he would be ready for him to see his wife swell with his children.
