The night came without trouble, but as the stars settled in the sky, Kagome had a bad feeling, she always wondered if her "feelings" came from her mother above. Kagome looked high into the night shy "What, what is it your trying to tell me"

She would get no answer,

Kagome looked down at the bucket of water she had in her hand, she sighed "Better get inside, Kaede needs this to make dinner"

Kagome made her way back inside, the hut was bright with candle light and a small fire pit was made from removed floor wood.

"Ye are back, ye should not leave your bow here" Kaede looked at the bow and arrow set that sat against her wall, Kagome smiled, the old woman worried for her.

"Here is the water we need" She sat the water down.

"Thank ye child"

They ate in silences and one would think that silence was good, but to Kagome, it was the calm before the storm.

After eating dishes were cleaned and the fire was put out "Thank you for letting me stay"

"No, thank ye child, you being here makes the village sleep better"

Well, she was glad someone was going to get rest, for she was sure it would not be her. Kagome laid and sighed, she tossed and turned as minutes turned into hours and soon the crickets outside started to sing, and slowly the demon Goddess was put to sleep.

But her sleep would not last, it seemed the Goddess never did get to sleep much, it was hard being immortal, sleep does not come easy for them.

"Lady Kagome you must wake!" Miroku came into the hut, still clad in his robes of a monk,

Kagome was not all awake "Miroku, I am not coming to sleep with you, go away" She never turned to him but waved him off with her hand.

"Kagome" Sango ran into the back of Miroku,

"Lady Kagome please get up!" Miroku said louder,

Kagome gasped and sat up "Uh, what, is something wrong" She said quick, throwing the covers off her,

"Yes a woman from the east has come running into the village" Miroku spoke quick,

It was then that Kagome could hear a human woman's voice, "The East" She whispered,

"Miroku go, I will help Kagome"

Miroku left and Kagome jumped to her feet "The East, that's where Sesshomaru just came from" Kagome spoke as he put on her clothing and grabbed her bow "Hurry Sango"

The women ran out of the hut, Kagome with her bow and Sango with her weapon, both women were ready and both woman where strong. No doubt with the way the woman was yelling, the vampires knew she was here and if, and if she were a demon male lover, then she would be hunted, no doubt.

Kagome stopped, most of the village was now awake. The woman stood, her white gown covered in blood "Are you alright" Kagome whispered her heat racing.

The woman was crying "They killed him" She said weak, tears falling from her face, her voice now calm.

"Killed who" Miroku asked staying away from the woman, she did not want to be touched.

"They kill him, I, I loved him"

Kagome knew it, without the woman saying it, she knew. She was the mate of a demon,

"We have to get her out of here" Kagome spoke fast, she did not want this woman to die, and she had a feeling that if a vampire where to show, she would.

Kagome walked up to the woman, but she backed up "You, you are one of them, one of us, yet, yet you let them come and kill them all, your own kind"

Kagome was hurt "Let them?" She whispered,

"You are the Goddess are you not" The woman cried,

"I am as you say"

"Then why, why not fight them"

"Because I am a sin myself do you not know this"

"He was not a monster" The woman sank to her knee's Kagome went with her and placed a hand on her shoulder "But you are human"

The woman looked up from her hands "You, you are both"

"I am"

"They killed him because of me"

"They killed him because he broke the law, I am the reason the law is there, I have no right to stop it"

"They killed him because he loved me" The woman stated "But, but you, you no nothing of love, do you"

Kagome took in air, it was true, Kagome removed her hand "You say it is law, but if you, if you could just, feel it, know it, need it, then you would know it is a law that needs to be broken!" The woman yelled "Some laws are meant to be broken!" She yelled,

"Even if I did love, had it, touched it, it would still not matter, I am not a God, it is their law"

The woman dried her eyes "But they cant touch you"

Kagome was confused by this woman "What?"

"It will be you Goddess, you will change this law I just know it, it is why I have come, now that I see you I know it"

"Know what, and why are you covered in blood?"

The woman smiled and reached to touch Kagome's face, Kagome leaned back "How are you ever to love, if you do not allow one to touch you?"

Kagome was so confused by this woman, it was true, she had never felt the love or touch of a man.

"I can not" Kagome replied back to the now calm woman,

"Why not, why cant you, you are a Goddess"

"I am a sin"

"No, you are love" The woman looked down and then spoke again "I was with child"

Kagome swallowed "Was?"

"She is beautiful" The woman calmed down.

"Is" Kagome whispered,

"Lady Kagome"

As soon as Miroku said her name, she felt it, or rather felt him.

"Lord Sesshomaru" She stood "Everyone, back to your home"

But they all stood, not moving. The night wind blew and with it, it brought him. Kagome stood in front of the woman on the ground.

"Goddess you will move" He was calm, his eyes red and on her,

"She did not come here to fight" Kagome stood her ground,

"You will move" His red eyes were brighter then blood, he was hungry.

"You will not kill her" She demanded it,

"She had her chance at life woman, yet she has made her way here, she is asking to die"

"No" Kagome stood her ground again,

"Yes" Came a soft voice,

"What" Kagome said looking behind her,

"He is right, I have come, I want to die, I want to be by his side, even if it is in hell"

"But what about your baby?" Where was the baby?

"She is not long for this world either Goddess, this you also know"

No she didn't know, she would not allow it!

In a blink Sesshomaru moved, he picked the woman up and the moon light hit his face, his markings showed true and it had everyone moving back in fear, even Kagome took a step back.

"Please don't" Kagome asked closing her eyes, she hated this,

"She asked for it" He told her, moving his eyes to her,

The woman in his grip smiled "You are the light Lady Kagome and he is the dark, at some point, the light must touch the dark, only then will the day come"

Kagome opened her eyes "What does that mean?"

But before she could answer...

He broke the woman's neck, killing her. He threw her body down and licked the blood from his hands. Then something in the bushes moved and Kagome's heat rate jumped, both her and Sesshomaru looked that way "No" She said and she darted, this time her demon power coming forth, she somehow reached it before he did. She turned and pointed her arrow at him "Don't you move Sesshomaru"

He growled at her, how dare she address him as such and in front of everyone.

"Everyone inside, now!" Kagome snapped, this time people ran, "You to Sango, Miroku" They didn't want to leave, but she was demanding it. Everyone left, leaving them in silence.

"Move Goddess"

"You killed the demon and the woman Sesshomaru, I will not, not, let you hurt this child"

"You will move, I am the judge of that"

"Like hell you are, you forget your place Lord"

"And you forget your Goddess" He moved forward and in a blink he held the end of her bow "You will not shoot me, you are to scared"

She was not scared.

But a cry had them both freeze. The child behind Kagome began to cry, Kagome lowered her bow, Sesshomaru took a hold of it and dropped it on the ground. "Move I will not say it again"

Kagome swallowed, but something told her just to move, she stepped aside. Sesshomaru knelt down and placed his hands down into the tick bush and when he came back up, he held a crying baby. Kagome looked at him, he held the child in both hands, she was very small, and naked and covered in blood.

"Is she hurt" Kagome asked, not that it would matter if he killed her,

"No, the blood is from her mother" He spoke back, he drew in his arms and cradled the child.

"Will you kill her" Kagome felt tears coming, she hated it when the women died and even more so if they decided to kill the child as well, she would leave for days and not come back.

"She is full human" His cold voice spoke,

"And defenseless and has lost both parents" That's what got her the most, the small, they were innocent and defenseless and it broke her heart.

"She should not have been born Goddess"

"Yet she is here, I am here, will you kill me to?" She asked hard,

He looked at her "If you kill her, then kill me to"

He looked at her a long while before looking back down at the small baby in his hand. The baby was fair skinned and had dark hair and beautiful green eyes. She was looking at him her crying turning into coo's, her arms and legs moving around. The night wind blew and the baby sucked in air and then shivered and then she began to cry again. Kagome stepped closer and once she stood next to Sesshomaru, the baby stopped crying. Kagome placed one finger on the child's lips, the child drew in her finger and began to suck.

"She is hungry" She stated, she then looked up at him "I do not wish her to die"

"She will die someday"

"It should not be today"

"Who will care for her"

That was a problem, no doubt no woman in the village would take her, and it was took much of a risk for the demons to take her,

"It is late, she needs food" Kagome stated, maybe, if she just ignored his question, it would just go away.

"Very well, we will return to the castle" Sesshomaru turned in a swift movement and began to walk away.

"Woman, I will not wait all night" He stopped and looked back, after noting Kagome was not following.

"What?" She asked,

"By we Goddess, I meant you and I"

Again chills when up her spine, the way his red eyes looked into her gold ones, she would never admit it, but he dominated her.
