Kikyo reported on what happened to her mentor; the Head Priestess of the Order of which she was raised. She knelt sipping herbal tea, she knew she needed her mentor is this day and age, however from the time, she was three years of age she knew she was different, her mental prowls were above anyone who came with to reside in the temple. "Mentor, you know my secret, that I am not a normal reincarnation, I am two souls merged into one." her brown eyes met her mentor's hazel ones. "And that I remember my life as the "Tragic Priestess."

The head priestess sighs and nods sadly 'Yes you are but we don't know as to why your returned at this time."

"Or as to why, I was left on the temple's doorstep." Kikyo added "Mentor, I have learned enough about this day and age, I am willing to leave the temple and meet with the Demonic Lord and Lady of the realm, that boy I saved today, I think my fate lays with him."

"If that is your choice, i will not stop you."

"You will just have to find someone else to run errands for you. Unless you're going to add a veil to the costumes." Kikyo replies, as she thanked her mentor for the tea, stood up and left the room. She went to her small room, she refilled her quiver with sharpened arrows, grabbed her bow, and decided on a travel pack or not. She went out once more to go meet the Demon lord and hopefully the child that is her charge.

Sesshomaru was in his study, when a familiar aura washed over his senses. He quickly stood and went to the front door of his manor. Sesshomaru's eyes widen as he seen a small child the same as Harry at his front gates, staring down the guards posted at the gate. He walks over to the gate "What is going on here." As he got closer, he felt the girls aura flow off her.

"A Priestess wishes to meet with you, sire." the guard answers, his own instincts telling him to run from the human that was his natural enemy.

"Then let her in, we have no need to be in fear."

"Only if you wish me harm." the girl-priestess comments, she smirked "If you would forgive, I have been allowing my aura to surface." she closed her eyes and stopped her aura from brushing along the demon's own aura.

The gate guards relaxed but were still weary if the little girl. They quickly open the gate allowing the girl to enter.

The girl walked into the grounds, her own instincts telling she was entering a viper's nest. "Remove your glamor, I know your aura, Western Lord."

Sesshomaru smiled and did as such. "Will you come inside and meet with my wife and explain why you're here.?"

"As in why I was reborn or why am currently standing on your path to your manor?" The girl-priestess questions

"Well if you answer the second both will be answered."

"I doubt that very much, Western Lord." the girl states "I am Kikyo."

"So you are returned now why are you here?"

"I believe my fate lays with your youngest." Kikyo answers "Do you perhaps have a joint study with your Lady to attend to business of the supernatural kind?"

"Yes she's there right now do you wish our son there as well?" The demon not postive he wants his youngest near her yet.

"What kind of priestess do you think I am. I would not subject a child to my own mental problems as of yet." Kikyo challenged

Sesshomaru nods and leads her to Maria's study and let her inside.

Kikyo sat down on the chair, while Sesshomaru went and sat down behind the desk, and joined his Lady.

"Now lady Kikyo would you care to explain why you feel this involves our son?" Maria asked looking very concerned

Sesshomaru's eyes flick to his sons room as he slept after his first encounter.

"I have the feeling, I am met to guide and protect him. There is a darkness stirring that is reeking havoc in the spirit realm, and I walk between those two worlds as a priestess." Kikyo replies

The two look at each other both having the feeling of who Kikyo was talking about.

"I am not just a simple reincarnation, I am a double Reincarnation. I am the Tragic Priestess Kikyo and I am Midoriko." Kikyo states

"So your both founder of the order and tragic priestess so how does that apply?"

"I am a merged soul, because the fragment I passed on with was so small and I was already reincarnated, the Powers that be decided I needed to atone for my past sins and I was reborn with my memories to learn from the past and not let it repeat with different people." Kikyo answers "I wouldn't say that Midoriko was the Founder, just the one who taught that everything has a soul."

The two demons chuckle. "So priestess, what can we do to help your endeavor?" Maria asked looking serious at her.

"Nothing right now. I'm sure the boy's path and mine will cross again." Kikyo replies, she then looked up slyly, "but if you wish to make a donation to the Order, I would be humble enough to give him a tour."

"Yes I think we can do that i was planning as much anyway." Maria nods just then they heard running coming from the hall.

"I think I will take my leave now." Kikyo states, as she stood up, and left.

"Momma, Ali hid my new jewel making kit." Harry yelled in the main hall.

Kikyo was directed out Maria's office and down a back stairway to the outside.

Maria stood and went to see what her son was talking about.

She went out and caught by children by the collars, "what are you doing?"

"Ali hid my new jewel making kit." Harry points to his older sister.

"Well he sneaked in to my room and was messing with my jewelry box." Ali argued back.

"What proof do you have for your accusation?" Maria questions

"His scent was all over the box and by my bed and i haven't let him in all day."

Maria closed her eyes, "You have another brother, have you asked him?"

"No but he hasn't be home all day." Alison growled "plus Harry's scent was on my box."

"So what, Harry's scent is in my room as well as yours, scent alone is not proof of wrong doing." Maria states

Alison huffed "Fine I'll give his kit back to him and wait till Yasha comes back."

"Now I have to get ready for a council meeting." Maria states as she set her bickering pups down.

"Thank you Ali." Harry said

As the two of them head back upstairs to their rooms.

Maria got ready and headed to the council room, where the members of each fraction of Clan, Pack, or Tribe leaders met and discussed problems of their territories.

This was a regular meeting and to deal with a minor territory dispute of a young wolf tribe and a group of thunder demons.

"Well lets be seated and get this under way." Maria states, as she sat down at the head of the table.

Everyone sat down and the eldest demon spoke first. "My lady, our petitions now is that this new wolf clan is pushing their way to our home lands and claiming it as their own."

"The wolf tribe leader is supposed to control his tribe, why isn't Koga doing his job?" Maria questions

A young wolf tribe member steps up. "My lady, lord Koga told us that this land was not claimed by any tribe. We were just looking for a start."

'Thats a damn lie! We had those lands for centuries before you mutts moved here." The elder thunder demon accused.

"You seem to be lacking in your education, there is no such thing as 'unclaimed' land in the demonic realm." Maria states, then stood up. "Thunder Demon, You are out of line. I do not care how old you are, You Swore Fealty To Sesshomaru and I. My temper is not good right now, if you speak out of turn one more time, your tribe will need a replacement."

The thunder demon paled "Yes my lady." The wolf demon straightened "My lady, we would gladly leave if we knew some where to set up a new den."

"I hear Antarctica is nice this time of year." Maria replies "of Course, you would not be bearing any pups in that cold climate."

"My lady we are not trying to cause any problems we simply looking for a home for our young." The clan leader explains.

One of the younger thunder demons then stands. "My lady, if i may speak? My clan has a small area that may be perfect for them if they wish?"

"I believe the elders of your breeds, need to re-teach you about how this 'Claiming' lands work in this era." Maria replies, "But since you're here, Your elders voted for the strongest demons to become your rulers before you were born, and most likely before half of your tribe and packs were born. So let me enlighten you, you have to ask permission of the Reigning Lord and Lady of the Demonic Realm. Tell me, young ones, who are the Reigning Lord and Lady?"

The wolf clan leader swallowed "You and Lord Sesshomaru."

"And did you ask permission of the Reigning Lord and Lady to start a new pack-site?" Another member of the Council asks

"No my lady but me and two of my pack-mates were looking at the area then we were to petition My lady and Lord."

"Then guess what, You are not getting anything. You did not ask Koga to speak to us on your behalf, therefore you get nothing." Maria snarled "Now go back your Tribe's territory, before I make a throw rug out of your skins."

the rest of the council meeting went much more quickly and broke up for the month. Maria stood and went to change for dinner.

As the family sat down to eat and talk of their day was going, as the twins got around to the new school year. Harry was excited as well since Maria told him, she hired a new tutor for him.

Maria often felt that they should have enrolled Harry into a primary school, with human children, but harry wasn't a normal child, he was a wizard as well as a enhanced human, his senses were on par with a natural born half-demon, only he was still completely human.

"Momma so when is my new teacher coming and well he better than the last one." Harry remembering his last teacher was so boring and harsh.

"Considering he's part of an out of the blood line branch of demonic wolves, I would think he should be here tomorrow or the next day." Maria replies

"A wolf demon, but didn't you say they were nothing but trouble?" Harry questions

"No, I was referring to the younger ones, who don't like to listen to their elders, I would hate to put it to the council that if they do not settle down that we would be force to do something that might cause the Elders of the tribe to decree revenge on us." Maria answers

"Well I hope he's better than that last one she so boring and mean." Harry mutters forgetting how good his parents hearing was, the twins snickers at his words as the continue their meal.

"Only because you didn't want to sit still and listen to your lessons." Sesshomaru commented

Harry blushed "Well she was a boring crazy cat lady."

Maria looked at Sesshomaru, "I told you to stick with Canine breed demons or half-demons, but no, you had to hire a stinky cat."

Sesshomaru sighs "She was the most qualified for the job as the time."

"So is a Rat terrier, and I would have chosen a normal dog over that idiot any day." Maria replies "That cat didn't even give us the proper respect that as Supreme Rulers, we deserve."

"Look I agree I made a mistake and she's not returning so that will not be a problem this year and if this new teacher works out we will keep him on."

"Good. I'll have the servants clear out the suite for the new tutor." Maria states
