HI! OK, first off . . .

Kagome56: Thank you very much.

Jeanette: Yay! Rating is OK! I like my story too! ^-^

Well, I really want at least 10 more reviews. But, here's chapter 5 anyway. (I'm so sweet.)

Never Ending Cycle

Ch. 5

~*~*~*~

Inuyasha looked at the retreating servants. He shook his head.

"I'll go tell Kagome." Inuyasha said. Sesshomaru nodded and headed off in the opposite direction. Inuyasha caught Kagome's scent and walked off. Kagome was in a large room. The room had a bed in the middle, on which Kagome was sitting on, staring at the wall. Upon Inuyasha's entrance, Kagome jumped up and leapt at him. She caught him around the waist and hugged him. Her shoulders rocked with dry sobs.

"Shhh . . . It's all right . . .Saiai is going to be just fine . . ."Inuyasha said. Kagome looked up, confused. "Sesshomaru agreed to bring back our baby."

Kagome digested this information. She sighed and smiled.

"I want to see Saiai."

"Yes, we are going right now." Inuyasha replied, and led Kagome to a room by following Sesshomaru's scent. The room was elaborate. Vases were at the corners and weavings and paintings on the walls. The room was alighted with floating orbs of light. And in the middle of the glamour, lay Saiai's remains. Kagome nearly retched, but held it in. The pieces were assembled neatly. Sesshomaru stood in front of it and was looking straight at Kagome. He frowned.

"Perhaps your mate doesn't wish to view this until I'm done?" Sesshomaru said. Inuyasha, but she shook her head. Sesshomaru merely drew the Tenseiga and brought it down upon the remains. A bright light shone through out the room and spread into every corner, chasing away the shadows.

Kagome gasped at its brilliance. The light soon faded away. Kagome walked over to Saiai. She was in one piece. Then, she opened her eyes and her chest rose. She screamed.

"Aaahh!" Saiai yelled. Everyone covered his or her ears. Kagome started to walk forward to comfort the child, thinking that she was reliving the moment that she had died, when a blast of energy blasted everyone to the wall. Blades of purple light whipped up and around the baby. White and purple light dominated at last. It seemed to emanate from the very core of Saiai. Then, the lights melded and shrunk, as if Saiai were a black hole pulling it in, and dissappeared. Saiai's hair floated back down to rest at her head.

"Saiai!" Kagome yelled. She ran to Saiai's side and hugged the child. "She's alive, oh my gosh, she's alive!"

Saiai turned her eyes to Kagome. Kagome gasped. They were light blue. Kagome pulled her head back and got a good look at all of Saiai. Her moon was a light blue, and all of her stripes were a light purple. 'What caused this transformation and all that energy? It felt familiar though.' Kagome thought. Then it hit her.

"T- this is like w-when I first got my miko powers." Kagome put out, albeit haltingly. "The coming down the well, getting the Shikon No Tama, which was in her body," At this Kagome shivered. "And then, obtaining miko powers. But it was different for Saiai. Almost, like it looked like she was in pain. Why . . .?" Kagome trailed off.

Junsui spoke.

"Uhmmm, Okaa-san? I was, um, thinking . . . Well, what if, um, her miko powers had to fuse with her youkai powers?" Junsui said, embarrassed to be the center of attention. Kagome's eyebrows rose. Inuyasha stared, then nodded.

"Yes. Yes, it would seem that is the answer. What a smart child! That's my girl!" Inuyasha said, patting Junsui on the head, who blushed and hugged Inuyasha.

"Hai, Otou-san!"

Kagome picked Saiai up and cradled her. Saiai hugged Kagome's neck.

"Mama . . . beddy-time . . .unca . . . hi . . ."Saiai murmured. Sesshomaru strode over and nodded acknowledgement. He reached out a hand and stroked Saiai's hair. "Hmm . . ." Saiai hummed then fell asleep in Kagome's arms.

"She'll probably have nightmares. Why don't you let her sleep with us tonight?" Inuyasha said. Kagome nodded. She walked to Kaikatsu then. He reached up and tugged at Saiai's leg. She opened her eye's and turned over to see him. She laughed in glee at seeing her brother.

"Here, Kaikatsu. It's your other half." Kagome whispered, and held Kaikatsu.

"Kaikatsu!" Saiai said. Both of them laughed and then fell asleep.

"Bedtime." Kagome said, and walked off. "Good night, everyone. And thank you, Sesshomaru."
