Lily tossed and turned all night obviously reliving her time with the woman who called herself the girl's mother. She watched wearily as Mitsuko rested her and on Lily's forehead. The little girl seemed to feel the safety and love that seemed to radiate from Mitsuko's skin. She herself was tired. After two more assassinations and then healing Lily, she was feeling slightly drained. Thankfully Mitsuko had immediately taken over for Lily as soon as she spotted the little girl. Kagome had gone upstairs for a shower and a change of clothes, something preferably bloodless. Mitsuko watched over the little girl with fierce and far away eyes. She could still remember when Kagome had taken her in. Kagome had been assigned to her around 300 years ago when she looked to be around the age of nine. Her father finally trusted her enough to give her a big case and she can remember giggling happily as she hugged her father. He'd smiled and sent her off to tell her mother, who had tears in her eyes, crying that her little girl was growing up. She started with watching the bloody angel as she did her kills. It had taken forever to find her, and it still did if she tried to find her. Kagome had immediately known she was there but she was unsure of why. Kagome had thrown the folder of evidence at her then disappeared without a sound. It only took two more folders of evidence for her to understand just why she did what she did. Abused children, raped, tortured, and so much more. She left a note for her mother to find and went to where she knew the woman would strike next. Just as she was about to disappear, she stepped out of the shadows and quietly asked if she could go with her. The bloody angel had held out her hand and she had willingly taken it. She'd been with Kagome ever since. Along with all the other children she rescued like this Lily. She smiled at the woman she considered another mother came in to check on the little girl, while a little boy hung on her.
"Hikaru you need to let go so I can check on little Lily here." the boy pouted but let go to go sit in Mitsuko's lap. Kagome gently brushed Lily's red hair away from her face. She smiled when confused brown orbs stared up at her. That is before the little girl launched herself crying at her. Kagome wrapped her arms around the child making soothing noises as she rubbed the little girl's back.
"Tell me what's wrong my little Lily." the girl started to quiet before looking tearfully up at her.
"I don't have a mama anymore." Kagome gently lifted the little girl's down turned face and smiled gently.
"Lily, sweetie, I'll be your mother if that's what you want or I could look for some of your relatives for you to live with?" She shook her head quickly and hugged Kagome tighter.
"You'll be my mommy?" she nodded and soothed the child back to sleep knowing that the little girl needed it. She smiled when she looked up at Mitsuko only to find her and Hikaru asleep. She smiled, oh how she loved her children. With a wave of her hand she moved them to their rooms and tucked them in. With one backwards glance at Lily she went to bed for what was left of the morning.
