Kagome awoke to find herself laying down in Kaede's hut, with every one looking at her. "Kagome, are you ok?" Inuyasha said brotherly.
Kagome smiled, and sat up "Yes Inu, what happened though?" She looked at everyone, noting that the demon lord was among them.
"I came to inform you of your needed assistance, and commented on the fact that the demon slayer and monk had mated." Sesshoumaru said form his corner of the room where he sat, his arms and legs crossed elegantly. "It seems that the kitsune mix breed you encountered earlier is holding out, but the poison is still spreading rapidly, and she could die within a day if assistance isn't given."
"The kitsune mix breed?" Shippo said looking at the lord, receiving a glare. "Are you talking about Lady Elahym?" Shippo looked at the lord of the western lands, awaiting an answer.
"Hai little one" Kaede said, noticing the lord was not answering the question. "She is a warrior of the eastern lands, the lands of kitsune." Shippo looked at the old miko and smiled. Kagome stood up and headed towards the door before Inuyasha stopped her.
"Kagome where are you going?" Inuyasha inquired. Kagome looked at him before looking at Sesshoumaru.
"Inu-kun, I am going to help out Lady Elahym and save her life." Kagome said before shoving Inuyasha ou of the way. Sesshoumaru stood, and looked around the room at eh shocked faces of her companions.
"I will return Kagome after two weeks, to make sure that the heir to the eastern lands does not pass away." Sesshoumaru said this and Shippo stood up.
"Sesshoumaru-sama, may I go with you and my mother to help aid her if she needs me to?" Shippo asked innocently. Sesshoumaru turned to him and looked at him before nodding his approval.
"Shippo, you don't have to come." Kagome said smiling. Shippo looked at her and shook his head.
"But I want to mother." Shippo said causing his adopted mother to smile.
"I don't remember when Shippo started calling me mother, but it took me a while to get used to." Kagome thought to herself before turning to Inuyasha. "Hey inu-kun can you get my bag for me? I've got my firt-aid kit int there." Inuyasha looked at her unsure about all of this, but trusted her judgment on the matter.
"Ok Kags." Inuyasha went over to a corner of the hut to retrieve Kagome's bag for her. "Be careful ok? I don't know what we'd do if we lost you, but I trust Sesshoumaru not to let you get hurt. 'Kay?" Kagome smiled on of her brilliant smiles at him, and took the bag from him.
"Kagome, please be careful, after all you are my sister." Sango said smiling as Miroku inched over to her. Kagome hugged Sango, and then turned to Miroku.
"Houshi-sama, keep your hands off of girls while I'm gone? Okay?" Kagome said and walked out of the hut, followed by Shippo and Finally Sesshoumaru. Sesshoumaru stopped before exiting the hut.
"You have my word she will arrive along with the kits unharmed in two weeks time." Sesshoumaru stated before heading out. He Picked Kagome up bridail style and the kit laid in his mother's arms as Sesshoumaru ran through the forest.
After thirty minutes of running, Sesshoumaru looked down to find both the kit and the miko asleep in his arms. "For a human, she looks like a tenshi when she sleeps." He shook his head, he scorned himself for thinking such a though as that. He growled, his inner self had been beinga nusciance lately, all because of this miko in his arms. He sighed and thought back to a recent argument he had had.
Flash Back
A voice popped in his head as he thought about the young miko that traveled with his brother.
"You like her."
"Who are you and explain t o me why I should not kill you this instant for stating such a thing."
"I'm you… You'd have to kill yourself to be rid of me fluffy-sama."
There was s silence.
"Leave me alone… I don't want to talk to you."
"Awww… Fluffy?"
"Stop calling me that or else."
"Or else what? I am you after all."
More silence…
End Flash Back
Sesshoumaru reached his castle, and dropped the miko and the kit both. Kagome jumped up and started to growl at him, her anger rising. "WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DROP ME LIKE THAT?" Kagome demanded, as Shippo sleepily rubbed his eyes.
"What I do is o concern of you miko." HE looked down at her, and walked into his castle, leaving Kagoem standing there growling. "You growl like a neko miko." He gave her the compliment and headed towards Elahym's room. Kagome huffed, and gather Shippo and her bag up and headed after him, still pissed.
Sesshoumaru came up to a door, and swung it open t reveal the kitsune mix breed laying on the bed, tossing her head back and forth in fever. Kagome rushed over and placed her hand on her forehead and immediately tok it away. "Sesshoumaru-sama, Lady Elahym is with a high fever, can you send for some cold water?" Sesshoumaru nodded and stepped out side and gave a servant passing by an order.
"Kay…lan…dra…" Elahym said amongst her tossing. Kagome peered down at Elahym and noticed her eyes were half open. She got out her cold medicine before unwrapping the bandages the servants had placed on the lady. She sighed as she set about the work of a healer.
Elahym's dream
An 18 Elahym and Kaylandra were paying a visit to the god tree where Inuyasha had been pinned by the priestess Kikyo a year before. Elahym had reached up and had tried to wake him to no avail. She sighed, he friend would never be awoken and able to talk to her any more. She sat down at the base of the tree and softly sang a song.
Kitto kitto bokutachi wa
ikiru hodo ni shitteyuku
soshite soshite bokutachi wa
ikiru hodo ni wasureteku
Kaylandra got up and headed towards and sat on the brim of it waiting for her sister to get through with her song. She sighed, when they were little Elahym had sang that song during time of grief, like she was feeling now. She knew Elahym had been close to Inuyasha, and his brother.
Hajimari ga aru mono ni wa
Itsu no hi ka owari mo aru koto
Iki toshi ikeru mono nara
Sono subete ni
She paused and listened to her sister's singing, even here she could hear it, along with the heartbreak that was evident in it. She frowned; knowing that her sister was heart broken because of what some miko had done pissed her of to no end. She got off of the well heading towards the village.
Moshimo kono sekai ga shousha to haisha to no
Futatsu kiri ni wakareru nara
Aa boku wa haisha de ii
Itsu datte haisha de itai n da
As Kaylandra neared the village her eyes seeped red, her youkai begging to take over. She hissed as she entered it and headed towards a shrine.
Kitto kitto bokutachi wa
Kanashii hodo ni utsukushiku
Yue ni yue ni bokutachi wa
Kanashii hodo ni kegaretekuKaylandra growled giving into her youkai and walked into the shrine demand to see the miko. When no one claimed to be the miko she went about destroying the shrine as the villagers screamed in side, Kaylandra slaughtering them with single swipes.
Mamoru beki mono no tame ni Kyou mo mata nanika o gisei ni Iki toshi ikeru mono no tachi Sono subete ga
She exited the shrine intent on slaughtering the whole village in order to make sure she got the miko also.
Moshimo kono sekai ga shousha to haisha to no Futatsu kiri ni wakareru nara Aa boku wa haisha de ii Itsu datte haisha de itai n daShe purred being a neko youkai unlike her sister who was a mix breed of a kitsune and neko, and her other sister who was a kitsune, she readied her self to destroy the village. She growled as sh attacked another villager sending the innocent one to it's death.
Boku wa kimi ni nani o tsutaerareru darou Konna chippoke de chisana boku de shika nai Ima wa kore ijou hanasu no wa yametoku yo Kotoba wa sou amari ni mo Toki ni muryoku dakaraElahym finished the song, and fell asleep lying on the ground next to the god tree. A young girl with a patch on her eye was fleeing from the village along with the other children that had escaped, and she tripped over the youkai. The youkai shifted, but other wise remained asleep. She got up and got stick and poked the youkai with it. The youkai jumped up in the air and hung from the first branch on the god tree. "Youkai! Why are you out here?"
Elahym looked down to see the little girl and jumped down. "I was visiting a dear friend, along with my sister." She looked around for her sister, and smelled blood. "DO you know where she is?"
"I don't know, but there's a neko youkai destroying my village! Please, can you stop it?" The child said.
"What is your name little one?" Elahym asked politely.
"My name is Kaede" Elahym memorized the name before rushing off to help the village. She saw her sister in her blood lust, slaughtering many villagers. She ran over and kicked Kaylandra in her back. Kaylandra staggered before tunrning on her.
"You bitch... who do you think you are?" A feral Kaylandra said.
"That's not the question… the question is…" Elahym caught the youkai of guard with a kick to the back of the legs, knocking her down. "Who you think you are?"
Kaylandra fell on her knees hard and she paid no heed to them. She got up and rammed into Elahym knocking her down. Elahym clawed Kaylandra's face, and shot back up on her feet, and drew her sword. "Back off, you know I could kill you where you stand, sister." She raced forwards and pierced Kaylandra's knee with her sword, temporarily crippling her sister. "I hate to give you a sleeping potion, but I'm sorry." She forced the beast to open its mouth and drink the potion. Kaylandra picked up the sleeping body of her sister and teleported back the castle where healers could heal her. She turned her back on her sister, believing she was still asleep, and felt a cold hard blade pierce her from behind.
"This is the last time you turn your back on me… sister… Elahym turned her head so she could see her sister grinning maliciously at her. "Kay… lan…dra…" Elahym's world went black.
End of dream
By the time Elahym came to finally, Kagome had forced her fever down, and had removed most of the poisons out of her system. She tried to sit up but was forced back down by… a miko that looked like Kagome. "Who are you?"
"I'm Kagome, do you not remember?" Kagome said, slightly worried about the youkai before her. She youkai shook her head yes.
"I'm sorry, but you looked alittle different at first glance… Can I get up please?" Elahym asked. Kagome shook her head.
"Lord Sesshoumaru said not to allow you up until you pass his inspection." Kagome said.
