- Previously -
Kagome gave a soft small in her thoughts, at the remembrance of having such a good life. She couldn't have asked for a better one; she loved it all. Her life was filled with fun and adventure.
'I have no regrets…' She told herself happily.
Meeting everyone in the Feudal Era; especially loved ones.
Given birth to what will be strong kabus in the future.
Living her life to the fullest even at age twenty-three.
Standing up to Kikyou; her incarnation.
Hell, even having a ryu youkai was good.
'Except one…' Kagome told herself.
Her hand grabbed the dagger, and weakly carved a small message into it. That took the rest of her strength and the dagger collapsed from her hand. All the young ones looked at her with a scared look.
"Okasan…?" Kichi called out.
Shippo hopped over, "okasan… okoshimas…?"
"Okoshimas okasan, onegai…?" Rin looked.
She was gone. And they all cried with a howl…
"OOOOOOOOKKKKKKKKAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSAAAAAAAANNNNNNNN!"
- Now -
--
It was early morning, and Rin sniffled and walked out side from the bad night of sleep. Kaede had told all of the villagers to stay away from Kagome's hut because she knew there was a furious taiyoukai on the way. As if on cue, the village grounds began to shake, and a huge inu taiyoukai came into view.
"Sesshomaru…-sama…" the twelve year old spoke out softly in a manner of disbelief at the form.
Indeed it was Sesshomaru, and when he arrived to the hut, he returned to his form quickly. While walking to the hut in a rush and realized there was now no barrier. It gave him all the more reason why Sesshomaru had ignored Rin and barged through the door mat to see six kabus, and his miko. Four of the kabus were his musumes, and the fifth was Shippo, but who was the young otokonoko?
Automatically, he knew that the otokonoko kabu was Inuyasha's kabu since he hadn't been around for her. But the otokonoko looked at him with stern eyes, while the others clung to his legs out of nowhere. Sesshomaru looked at them, to see them grown a lot since his last visit.
The otokonoko looked exactly like Kagome except he had the amber eyes, claws, and black ears. His little kimono though was all white and had no bracelet or rosary beads on him. It struck his interest at how quiet he was with that stare in his eye.
--
The young ones all simmered down and he looked to Kagome and knew very well, that she was dead. Grabbing Tenseiga, he didn't know if he should try to revive her or not. She'll become alive again, but what about her soul?
Sesshomaru looked to the floorboard to see it say in kanji, 'Aishiteru, Sesshomaru-sama.'
He used Tenseiga immediately and struck her form and placed the katana on the ground. Myouga instructed him to place the Shikon no Tama against her stomach, and he obeyed without question. Everything was quiet when Sesshomaru placed it against her stomach, and it was slowly absorbed back into her.
--
Hours upon hours, Kagome didn't move an inch. Sesshomaru growled at this and leaned against the wall while placing her head in his lap. It was the first time he had loved an onna, and lost it to foolish reasons.
The otokonoko crawled onto Kagome's stomach, and looked at the four older kabus for assistance. They nodded and came over around Kagome's body. Hidemi and Chikako were on one side while Sato and Kichi were on the other.
They held hands with one another while the otokonoko stared at his okasan's closed eyes. Sesshomaru stared at the five working together; wondering what they could possibly do to save her from dying once again. The four onnanokos began to glow a light pink color while the otokonoko glowed a light blue.
He stared at his okasan's still, thinking the same thing over and over again. The boy rarely talked ever, even to his okasan. But now it was time to speak; to be heard for his plea.
"…Raivu…"
Huge demonic yet miko/saisho powers came from the kabus and their hair all went flying up. Sesshomaru watched at the enormous energy grew even more into an indescribable aura. They all seem like they knew what they were doing, and it had caught him off guard.
"Em!" Hidemi yelled.
"Sa!" Sato yelled.
"Chi!" Chikako yelled.
"Ki! Kichi yelled.
The boy then yelled, "Ta!"
They all had powers leek into Kagome and it died down two minutes later. The onnanokos passed out, but the otokonoko didn't. Soon, the hut came quiet and Sesshomaru felt Kagome breathing.
"Ses…sho…ma…ru…" Kagome said tiredly while looking up.
Sesshomaru hugged her tightly with his arm and nuzzled against her cheek in a desperate manner. Kagome wondered what was wrong and she felt a tear hit her cheek. It caught her off guard, but she smiled, and stroked the taiyoukai's hair to calm him down.
"Sesshomaru," she called out softy.
"…" Sesshomaru kept quiet.
"Aishiteru…"
He nuzzled against her cheek, "hai, and I you, Kagome."
"Okasan…" The little otokonoko called out.
Kagome was pulled into Sesshomaru's lap and the little kabu in her arms. She smiled at him and hugged him closely as he did in return. Looking at the little one, and then to Sesshomaru, she smiled.
"Sesshomaru, this is your musuko, Taro. Taro, this is otousan." Kagome smiled happily at her two otokos. (Taro; means first son.)
"Nani," Sesshomaru said in a low whisper.
"You didn't listen to me when I said no 'liquid' in me when you left." She said sharply at him, meaning he was going to get in trouble later.He cleared his throat and tried to ignore the angered onna in his arms, "so, this is Taro?"
"Hai, he's four and is learning all that the onnanokos are learning; I'm sure that's what you would want?"
"…" He nodded to her and kissed her on the forehead.
Kagome smiled happily and kissed him back lightly. They were being watched by a happy onnanoko ningen, inu hanyou, and kitsune youkai. The two stopped and looked at the little spies.
"How about you two take the littler ones outside to the meadow to play? You can take Aun and Cho with you." Kagome suggested.
Rin and Shippo nodded to her and Rin went to get the ryu youkais. Shippo collected the little kabus and placed them on the youkais so they could leave. (Shippo is about Rin's height now.)
--
Kagome just stayed against Sesshomaru's armor and leaned against the mokomoko happily. Sesshomaru too seemed a little lifted from pressure and nipped her ear to hear those soft giggles. Of course, she laughed, and it made him feel at ease.
"This one apologizes, for placing you in this danger," Sesshomaru whispered, "this one didn't mean to have this happen to you."
"It's okay Sesshomaru; I had no regrets when I was crossing over to the other world." Kagome smiled softly to him.
"This one does not want to see you perish a pitiful death."
"Pitiful? It was an illness that happened while I gave birth to-"
"This one knows," he hugged her tightly, "this one knows."
--
Sango and Miroku couldn't wait any longer and left Kikyou and Inuyasha to go check on her, hoping she was okay and not dead. She was scared and terrified while Miroku tried to keep her calm. It took them a little longer and they arrived.
"Kagome-chan! Kagome-chan!" Sango yelled and rushed into the hut.
Sesshomaru's armor, katanas, and mokomoko were removed from his body and he looked at them with annoyance while still leaning against the wall. Kagome laid on her stomach and her upper body on his lap with a blanket over her. When she began to get up, Sesshomaru growled at her, and so she stayed down.
"Ohayoo, Sango-chan… Miroku-sama…" Kagome smiled.
"Kagome-sama, daijobu?" Miroku asked worriedly.
"Kanna said you were going to die," Sango frowned.
"I did, but my taiyoukai and kabus revived me," she nuzzled into Sesshomaru's lap.
"So… are… you two going to be mates…?" Miroku said curiously; hoping to not get attacked.
"Tonight," Sesshomaru stated coldly, "the later it is waited on, the more likely she will fall into illness."
"Sess…" Kagome said sternly.
"So what about Inuyasha?" Sango questioned.
"He… has Kikyou…" Kagome said slowly, "I'm sure of my answer now; it's best for our kabus, and for us."
Miroku smiled, "I'm pretty sure that we won't argue."
Kagome looked at him, "I don't think you can with Sesshomaru around."
"Indeed," Sesshomaru growled.
"Houshi-sama," Sango whispered to him.
Miroku looked to her, "what, do you wish to tell Kagome-sama?"
"Mhmm," she nodded and looked to Kagome, "Kagome-chan, do you remember when you said me and Houshi-sama would repopulate the taijiya village?"
"Yeah, are you guys going soon?"
"We've decided to stay here for the first two or three kids, and then eventually go to the village." Miroku smiled happily, "we'll stay here a little longer."
Kagome smiled, "I like that plan," she sighed tired, "I like that plan a lot."
"Miko, you need rest," Sesshomaru stated.
"Iie," she replied, "I need my souls back."
"Demo…"
"I can't live off the Shikon no Tama forever."
"…hai…" he nodded.
--
Inuyasha and Kikyou were walking back to the village and they saw Kagome walking over to them quietly and Taro was with her. The adults were in a triangle and it was quiet. Kikyou glared at Kagome who paid no attention to her.
"Kagome, you're okay?" Inuyasha asked worriedly.
"Hai," Kagome looked to Kikyou, "no thanks to you."
"Nani?" He asked confusedly.
"She knew I was ill, and she didn't care because she wanted my souls."
"These souls are mine!" Kikyou hissed.
"I want them back!" Kagome took a step.
Inuyasha jumped between them, "matte Kagome!"
"OTOUSAN!" Taro yelled.
Inuyasha looked at him, "another kabu!" (He never saw Taro.)
"You will now witness the otousan of all my kabus." Kagome stated annoyed.
"Nani? You mean…" he trailed off.
"You had told this one to wait at the hut, miko." Sesshomaru stated while walking toward them.
Kagome turned to look at him innocently, "Ta did it, not me."
"Nani-yo miko?" He asked from behind her.
"Taro I guess felt threatened by Inuyasha." She stated.
"…" The taiyoukai growled and began to come forth.
"Satsu," the miko said softly and Sesshomaru froze.
"Miko…"
"Inuyasha," Kagome called out, "you know what has to be done, I need by souls back, and she's already dead."
"Kagome… I can't…" Inuyasha replied in a sad tone.
She sighed, "I don't want to hurt you Inuyasha, onegai, and move aside."
"Don't listen to her." Kikyou demanded.
"…" Inuyasha didn't know what to do.
"Who has accepted you, Inuyasha? Your ningen, hanyou, and youkai form?" Kagome asked.
"Demo… you lied… you said the kabus were mine…" Inuyasha replied in pain, still trying to take it in.
"If I had told you the truth, you would've killed them and me as well." She stated. "When I was gone those two weeks, I was with Sesshomaru; healing his wounds."
"Why didn't you tell me anything...?"
"Kowakatta!" She replied. "Both of you had me confused, I didn't know what to do. You left Kikyou take my place for five years!"
"…"
"I'll ask you once more," she sighed, "onegai, move…"
Inuyasha closed his eyes to think everything, and he came to his conclusion. The hanyou slowly stepped out of the way and allowed Kagome to do what she wanted. Kagome called forth her souls and got them back.
Kikyou cursed Inuyasha to hell but he tried to ignore her. The undead miko disappeared and returned back to hell. Inuyasha fell to his knees and Kagome looked at him with worry.
Sesshomaru grabbed her arm lightly so they could leave, but she pulled away. Kagome gave Sesshomaru a pained look in her eyes, and slowly went to Inuyasha and bent down in front of him. Taking a small breath in, she leaned over and wrapped her hands around his head.
"It's okay Inuyasha, we're your family, and we'll take care of you." Kagome said softly in his hanyou ear.
Inuyasha understood everything, the kabus, Sesshomaru, and the illness. So he knew well that Kagome was going to be the taiyoukai's mate and not his own. So now she was going to be his relative, his family, and his shimas. It was near the same as being his.
"Nee-san," Inuyasha called out to try it.
"Hai, nii-sama," Kagome said softly to him with more respect for him.
He buried his face into her chest with his ears pulled back, "nee-san…"
"Stand aside miko." Sesshomaru said sternly.
Kagome looked to him, "you can't kill him Sesshomaru."
"Give this one a good reason." He growled.
"We need him, and you know it." She said softly.
"…"
"Inuyasha is like our kabus Sesshomaru; he can help them upon what we can't." Kagome stated.
"This one can raise them without help from a-" Sesshomaru was interrupted.
"From a hanyou!" She raised her voice.
"…"
Kagome pointed to their musuko; Taro, "if you kill Inuyasha, it's the same as killing your musuko and your musumes! Is that what you want! If Inuyasha has had a rough life since he was a kabu, maybe he could tell them a few things that we can't!" Kagome calmed down and breathed. "They are accepted by youkai and ningen, so why not hanyou?"
Sesshomaru sighed with high irritation. His soon-to-be mate was telling him to let his younger kyodai live. He had wanted kill him for so long and now he would not be allowed to.
The taiyoukai snorted, "take him to his hut," he said while leaving with Taro not far behind.
"Sesshomaru?" Kagome looked at him.
"Your demands are clear, therefore as a mate, this one will obey," he answered, "this one will go take Taro to his shimas's and kyodai."
"Hai," Kagome smiled happily, "arigato taiyoukai."
"…" He nodded and left with his son.
--
"Nee-san… naze…?" Inuyasha looked at her quietly.
"We'll be family soon," Kagome blushed as she got up, "so I have to learn to stand up to Sesshomaru and tell him what I think and know is right."
He pouted, "how embarrassing; being helped by an onna…"
She raised an eyebrow and sighed, "Osuwari."
WHAM!
"What the hell was that for!" Inuyasha growled at her angrily.
Kagome laughed happily and offered him a hand, "nothing, I just didn't think it was fair for Sesshomaru to get a command and you didn't."
"He has a command?" He asked curiously.
"His command is-"
"Miko," Sesshomaru called out gruffly.
Kagome smiled sheepishly to him, "k-konnichiwa Sesshomaru."
"Let us be on our way." He stated.
"How about we walk Inuyasha to his hut?"
"Very well," he mentally rolled his eyes, "coming… Inuyasha…?"
"Are you trying to be nice!" Inuyasha looked at him.
"…" Sesshomaru started growling.
"Now, now," Kagome placed her hand on Sesshomaru's chest, "Inuyasha, are you coming?"
"Yeah… sure…" Inuyasha got up and thought of something, "is he staying?"
"Hai, this one will stay, perhaps guard the village if needed." Sesshomaru stated.
"Oh wow!" Kagome smiled happily.
"Nani?" Sesshomaru and Inuyasha said in unison.
"You guys are talking to each other without growling!"
"…" They looked at each other, and began growling.
Kagome glared, "…never mind…"
Sesshomaru snorted and wrapped his clawed hand around Kagome's waist, "let's be on our way."
"Okay, sheesh, come on 'nii-sama,' we'll drop you off at your hut." Kagome smiled warmly.
"C-coming nee-san," Inuyasha came over to her side that was opposite from Sesshomaru.
