Inuyasha sprung into the clearing. He smelled the scent of blood as soon as the group had arrived on this side of the well. Sesshoumaru and Kouga right behind. He could here the others not far off. They scanned the area. Inuyasha gasped as he leaped toward the prone Kikyo below the God Tree. He didn't hesitate to take her head and place it in his lap. Sesshoumaru and Kouga came and just stared at the two in silence.

By this time Kagome and Rin reached the clearing with their newfound quickness. Something was wrong. Rin noticed her mate and new friend were in front of the tree, but no sign of Inuyasha. Kagome was examining the blood in the middle of the clearing trying to put the pieces to the puzzle together. Rin walked over to her mate and looked around his back to see what he was looking at. Rin screamed for Kagome to get her big ass over to where she was. Kagome rolled her eyes but complied. A loud exhale of air was all she said as she took in the sight.

Her link to Inuyasha flared. Sorrow, anger, and a feeling of loss flooded her senses. A tear left her eye to glide down her cheek. The site of Inuyasha cradling a dying Kikyo on his lap with the emotions coming from him provoked her to do the unthinkable.

Kagome walked over to them. Inuyasha implored her with his eyes to help the woman. His gold irises melting with unshed tears. Kagome was at a loss. She didn't feel the pulse of the jewel anywhere on her. The pieces fit into place.

"Naraku."

Saying the word brought a painful shudder to Kikyo's body. The feeling intensified from Inuyasha as well. Hate also came through the link. Kagome sighed in defeat. She was doing this for Inuyasha after all. She knew Kikyo was evil, but no one deserved to die like this.

She kneeled down beside Kikyo's left side. She put her left hand on Kikyo's forehead and her right on her heart. She focused with all her might and power to bring Kikyo back to the living. To save her mate from the obvious suffering he was going through.

The others watched in amazement at the spectacle. A bright pink aura surrounded Kagome and Kikyo as the blood stopped flowing. Kikyo's garments were cleaned. A large breath brought her stomach up and down in a living rhythm. The pink faded.

Kagome opened her eyes half way to see her handy work. Gasps and well done's coming her way. She must have done it for that to happen. Rin ran over and hugged her. They both giggled. Inuyasha was next he helped both women stand up. It's Kagome that he hugged to his chest with crushing force.

"Thank you." Was all he whispered into her ear, it was enough. She felt the love and relief in their connection.

Kikyo watched the exchange in disgust. She looked at all of them with hate and malice playing her in eyes. She felt someone's gaze. She turned slightly to see the Inu Lord staring at her. She quickly put on a mask of ice. She moved towards Kagome and Inuyasha. Her evil plot working the wheels in the frozen tundra of her mind.

Kikyo made her way to the happy couple. Kagome and Inuyasha stood next to each other as she approached both still smiling very happily. Kikyo fought the verge to roll her eyes and purify the hanyou right there. She turned to Kagome, no emotion really showing on her face.

"Thank you Lady Kagome. I am in your debt. We must make haste. Naraku has the jewel. He is heading to the village as we speak." She pointed in the direction of Keade's home.

Kagome put a hand over her mouth in fear. Rin put a hand on Sesshoumaru's arm looking for comfort. He covered hers with his own. Inuyasha put his hand on Kagome's shoulder to do the same. The others of the group shared glances and nods.

"Let's go!" Inuyasha hollered as he knelt for Kagome to climb aboard. Her arrows ready, they raced off to seek Naraku and save their grandmother and the jewel from his clutches.

They all arrived in time to see a fading pink light from Grandma Keade's hut. Inuyasha and Kagome were about to rush the entrance when a tall figure stepped out of the hut. By his side was Keade and both were smiling with a glee. Kagome was thoroughly confused. She stood there slacked jawed. Inuyasha growled. He was about to charge right at the man when a cold hand was placed on his shoulder.

"Do you not sense it little brother?" Sesshoumaru asked in his usual monotone.

Inuyasha snarled and swiped the hand from his body.

"I don't sense anything! We need to get the jewel from him before…" he was cut off by the curt words from his older and seemingly wiser sibling.

"He is fully human." Was all he said.

Inuyasha looked at Naraku and sniffed the air. His golden eyes grew ten fold at the realization. He turned to Kagome sensing unease and astonishment from the link. Kogome stared at the man. She knew him form somewhere, but she thought he was dead. Her mother told her, so it had to be true. Rin walked up and stood by Kagome. They both looked to Kaede for guidance. Kaede nodded and made for them to come forward.

"Come now, you must recognize your Father?" she chided her grandchildren.

Kagome took a step closer, but was still unsure. Rin grabbed her hand. She was too young to remember their father. The others gathered around them to lend support. Kagome looked to Inuyasha. He just shrugged. He had no idea what to do. Sango did the honors of pushing them forward. Kikyo was in the back seething with anger.

"D…dad is that…that really you?" Kagome couldn't hold back the relief in her voice. She wanted nothing more then to run into his arms. Caution kept her at bay.

He smiled brighter then the sun. He held open his arms to them. Like small children they ran to their father. Fresh tears cascaded down their cheeks in unison. The joy and happiness they felt infecting everyone in the group save one.

Kikyo watched the seen and wanted to retch. Her plan was failing as fast as the tears were falling. She stood back from the group. She used her powers to summon a new bow and quiver. Her original back in the clearing, she had no time to get it. while others were distracted, she knocked her first arrow. The rag tag bunch did not notice her movements. She released.

The arrow flew true. It hit Naraku in the shoulder. He cringed in pain letting his children go. Everyone turned to see Kikyo surrounded by her soul stealers. The demons growled and the humans readied for battle. Before they could react the stealers were already busy collecting the souls of the females.

Ayame dropped to the ground. Her eyes turned glassy from the loss of her essence. Kouga froze where he was as if a part of him also died. Daisy fell next trying to protect Shippou. Shippou ran to where Kagome was. Sango let her bone boomerang fly only to fall as Ayame had. It swung towards Miroku. He barely had enough time to dodge it. It clipped his right shoulder, dislocating it. He remembered that now that Naraku was human he didn't have his wind tunnel. He ran to Sango and cradled her form to his own. With his left hand he threw as many sutras at the stealers to keep them at bay.

Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha ran towards the offending woman. They swung at the same time only to hit air. They landed and turned towards a loud scream that came from Kagome.

"RIN!" Sesshoumaru froze as much as Kouga had. The mark. It was cold. Inuyasha still had enough time to react before the stealers got to his mate as well

Kagome held her lifeless sister in her arms. Tears took to welling up in her eyes. The rage welling inside her was growing ten fold. She could hear Inuyasha calling her name some where off in the distance. She looked up. He was standing over her. She didn't even remember she hand fallen to her knees. Rin's head was lying in her lap.

Inuyasha told Naraku to take Kaede and Shippou inside. He complied. He stood over his mate and her sister facing Kikyo. She had another arrow aimed right at him, bubbling with her evil magic. He growled and swiped the soul stealers coming for Kagome. He didn't notice the deadly piece of wood coming his way. Kagome looked out towards her. She saw it. A shiver ran up and down Inuyasha's spine as he felt the Kagome's anger.

She released all the rage she held inside. It took her over. With the demon blood she had shared with her mate coming to the surface. She stood up and walked in front of the arrow in a blink. She caught the arrow in her hand a mere inch from it piercing her mate's heart. The heart that was her's and her's alone. Her eyes bled to a dark pink color as she called her priestess powers to her.

"You protect that vile abomination while you can. I will have his death in the end!" Kikyo taunted Kagome.

"Not in this life time." Was all Kagome said as she pulled her bow from her shoulder and knocked her own arrow.

The pink energy encompassed the whole arrow and her bow. She let it go. Kikyo summoned a wall of stealers. It went throw as a knife through butter. It didn't stop there. It kept going straight through Kikyo's abdomen to the surrounding forest behind her. Kagome fired two more. Kikyo didn't have enough time to do anything. They flew towards her at demon speed. One struck her in the right shoulder nearly severing her arm off, the last one doing the same to her left leg. Souls escaped back to their owners as she watched. Ayame and Sango's souls returned to them. Their lovers were there, waiting for them. Sesshoumaru was at Rin's side as was Inuyasha. He stood transfixed watching his mate.

Kagome walked to the fallen wicked witch. Hatred and anger swirled the pink depths of her lively orbs. She knelt down. She brought her face deathly close to Kikyo's. Their noses were almost touching. Kikyo was just trying to remain alive. Breathing was painful. Kagome's breath caressed her stone cold skin.

"You dared to hurt my family. You took my kindness for granted. For this I will not let you leave this clearing."

With those words, her hand went to Kikyo's chest. The pink and now also purple energy gathered at her command. She pressed her hands through her breastplate to her heart. One hand grabbed the remaining souls the other wrapped around her heart. She sent all her power to the organ. It beat faster and faster. Finally it gave out. Kikyo was writhing. Suddenly her body went still.

Kagome stood up her eyes returning to warm chocolate. She calmly turned around. In a hurried pace she strode to Rin's prone form in Sesshoumaru's grasp. She let the soul essence she took from Kikyo flow into her sister. Rin's eyes fluttered open. She sat up in her mate's embrace and beamed her smile to her sister.

"That really sucked." Rin exclaimed bringing everyone to mirthful laughter.

Hearing the laughter the group in the hut rushed out. A group hug was shared by demons and humans all taking comfort in each other.

"What happened after that momma?"

"Well, the group made their wishes on the jewel. Everyone then traveled to Miroku's village to save his little brother Souta from death."

"And after that?"

"Everyone lived happily ever after." Kagome tweaked her daughter's nose as she said that. A giggle was her response.

"Now it is also time for you to go back to bed. You have a big day later on."

"Awwww… Okay momma."

With that Kagome stood from her massive bed holding a tired Sasha. She turned to see that Inuyasha had also gone to sleep.

" Like father, like daughter I guess." Kagome mumbled as she left the room.

The next day came in just a few hours. By mid day the entire group had reassembled at Sesshoumaru and Rin's estate. All the children were playing a game of tag as the adults sat on a veranda sipping tea and catching up on things.

"I'm gonna get you dis time Nai!" Sasha squealed as she chased after the other little girl. Nai turned around with her big purple eyes and stuck out her tongue at Sasha.

"Beeedaa!" and then she spend up and away from Sasha. Sasha growled playfully and kept chase.

Just as Sasha was about to tag Nai, she dove behind her twin brother. Sasha tagged him instead. Before he realized what had happened Sasha laughed at him and took off at a full run.

"You're it Bankotsu!" she laughed as she ran away.

Bankotsu stood momentarily stunned he turned to his sister. She was already running away laughing at him as well.

"Hahaha…you got tagged!" a young male voice said as he raced by. Followed closely by another young male, both still laughing. He clenched a fist and ran after the two boys.

"Oh yeah Touya! I'll tag you next!" Bankotsu wailed at his retreating back.

The little boy next to Touya pointed off to a copse of flowers. Sasha and Nai were playfully picking the fresh blooms, making them into crowns. Mischievous grins spread their faces. Oh how they loved to torture the two little girls. They had stopped and were whispering to one another when Bankotsu caught up to them. The game of tag forgotten, he huddled with them. His own devilish grin began showing on his face.

Sasha was in the middle of making a crown for her mother when a whirlwind raced past her into the flowers, ripping them all up as it went. When the wind stopped, Touya pounced on Sasha pining her down. Sasha screamed and fought to get up. She looked over to her best friend. She too was being pinned down, but from her cousin instead.

"Let me go Touya!" Sasha snarled at him.

"Yeah! You too Kokonomaru!" Nai hollered up to her captor.

"Nah uh! You weak little girls are just too much fun!" Kokonomaru laughed at Nai.

Bankotsu came up and then proceeded to tickle his sister's feet relentlessly. Kokonomaru pinned her down harder as the assault continued. Touya needed no help. He used his own tail to tickle Sasha's bare feet.

Both girls laughed so hard their faces were turning red. When the boys were satisfied they got up. Nai rolled over and was panting. She grabbed a handful of flowers and flung them at her two captors.

"Meanies!" She screamed at them. They ran away taunting her wrath even more. After a bit the flowers turned into rocks. Touya and Sasha were engaged in their own fight as the other three took off.

Sasha and Touya were in an all out brawl. Pulling, clawing and biting to see who would get the upper hand first. Sasha rolled her eyes as once again Touya pinned her to the ground. He sneered at her. Growling for her to submit. She let out a little puppy yip to let him know she caved in. He smirked at her but didn't get up.

"Get off me Touya!"

"No. I'm comfortable right here."

"I said get off me you big meanie!"

"And I said no!"

The fight started all over again. She gave in quickly when he pulled on her puppy ears.

"You are such a wittle baby! If you can't run with us big dogs get out of our pack," he said as he stood up smirking. He had only repeated what his father said one time to a pack member. Sasha rubbed her eyes trying to hide the fact she was crying.

"I am not!"

The other three had come back to see what was going on.

"Are too!"

"Fine, maybe I will!" Sasha said running off as she said it. Her tears cutting jagged paths down her dirt covered face. Kokonomaru turned and punched Touya in the arm.

"You made her cry again!"

All four took off after her not wanting to get in trouble for making fun of her again. They found her sitting up in a tree much like how her father does. Nai called out to her asking her to come down. After awhile she did. Touya stuck his tongue out at her. She did the same and the five of them left the forest to go back into the clearing once again in their parent's sight.

They sat in a circle talking about things kids do when Sasha mentioned that she was told a very pretty story about how all the parents had met.

"Momma told me that she was Little Red Riding Hood and how she and her friends saved the day. Then everyone lived happily ever after." Sasha beamed with pride.

"Nah uh! My mommy said she was Rapunzel and Daddy came to save her with the help of his friends. Then they lived happily ever after." Nai chimed in. Bankotsu nodded his head in agreement.

"No…my mother told me that she was Cinderella, and that father came and took her off her feet. Later on he met her friends and they all lived happily ever after." Kokonomaru corrected his cousin and friend.

Touya was about to put his two cents in when they heard their parents calling for them to come back. They ran as fast as their little legs could carry them.

Kagome and Inuyasha had to make a huge decision. In the end it was for the best. Kagome sighed as she finished her tea. Rin looked at her older sister sadly. Ayame and Sango were also heart broken at the news Kagome just told them.

"Are you sure this what you want Kagome?" Sango asked concerned for her best friend.

"Yes. Sasha should be entering Kindergarten by now. It is best for her. Besides Daisy needs help with Tenma. That damn Sohma family isn't much of one. It would be nice for both of them to know their cousin. We'll still visit once in awhile until she gets older and her studies become a bigger hassle." Kagome smiled warmly at her friends. She gave a bigger one to Rin.

"Of course I'll be visiting too. Kokonomaru would be too devastated if he was permanently separated from his "ward" as he put it." The women chuckled as their mates came to them. Inuyasha grabbed Kagome's hand as she stood.

"You better visit. Mom would have a hissy fit too."

With that the children came bustling to their parents. Sensing something was up the smiles faded. Kagome smiled at Sasha, but it wasn't the same. Kagome stood up and handed Sasha to Inuyasha. She hugged each of her friends and bowed to Sesshoumaru. Inuyasha just gave his usual 'Keh'.

"Say goodbye to your friends, sweetie." Kagome said to Sasha a bit solemnly.

"Bye you guys! I'll see you soon! Next time I'll get you Touya! You big meanie!" Sasha called over her Father's shoulder she was riding on.

It's been thirteen years since that happened. Tomorrow is my birthday party. Mom said everyone is going to be there. I wonder if they'll also show up. It's been a long time since then. I haven't seen any of them since, not even Kokonomaru. Oh, I hope so; I would love to kick the mangy wolf's ass.

"Not part of the big dogs; get out of the pack." She growled "Touya, your dead wolf meat"

Sasha turns and walks away laughing evilly.
