Ok here goes another chapter maybe I'll get some reviews? No I didn't think so either...
The fog and mist surrounded the area like a blanketing fog.. Tree's were no more than faintly darker spot in the mist. Ice Blue eyes reflected the mist making them opalescent. His pointed ears listening for any sound to penetrate the dense fog. It had been a week since he had last seen his sister, though she was capable he was beginning to worry about her. For some time now it had been just the two of them. The group they once belonged in disbanded many years ago.
Time for the two was spent amongst each others presence and finding odd missions to assign themselves. Miyo otherwise known as Mimi was a daughter to the King though she had been outcast from her family his death had hit her hard. And their mother's as well, Ai had been his adopted mother, in an attack he had been orphaned. Her mother had taken him in and his biological father came back into his life as well. During the time of the group they had made it through all now they were to each their own.
Which brought Akito back to his main concern. In an attack by those he and his sister didn't know; a swirl of Miasma had lifted and taken his sister from him. Leaving him to finish the unprovoked battle. Her life force was still strong, he could feel it. Though they were not biologically related, they had became bonded as though twins.
The slow steps coming in Akito's direction halted his thoughts and stilled his body. Scenting the air he was relieved to find it was the one he had been seeking, Miyo. He silently watched as her darkened form came into his vision and waited to see her come through the mist to meet his waiting presence.
Miyo walked through the mist that had fallen around her in her slow journey back to her brother. She was still badly wounded and was forced to settle for a slow but steady walking pace. A still form caught her eye in the fog, not pushing herself any harder she kept at her pace towards her awaiting brother. When she was finally close enough to see him he was a welcome sight for sore eyes.
Everything about him was the same as it had been though it looked as though he had slept less than he normally did. Akito never really slept even by youkai standards. His hair was still it's cross between blue and green. The color always depended on the eye of the beholder. It was spiked on the top and short in the back same as it had been.
It warmed her to see his normally guarded eyes were laced with worry and joy at seeing her. His complection was slightly paler than her own and he had apparently been constantly on the move. His normally pristine clothing was slightly ruffled and creased. His blue Hakama's, White Fighting top and blue green outer Haori were in need of washing as they had smudges of dirt and traces of blood from the battle nearly a week ago.
She gave her brother a weary smile that he returned. Without so much as a word spoken the two set off into the mist and fog, to find a campsite and finally rest for a night. Later Miyo would tell Akito of whom she had re-encountered and whom had rescued her.
Elsewhere
Sesshomaru's ever dominant form wandered the plains of the west, in tow was his young ward and annoyingly faithful retainer. The sighting of Gin and Miyo meant that the end of the undeclared war between all of Japan and Naraku was drawing to it's end. Perhaps if Naraku had not chosen one of 'The Family' he might of had a chance. However if choosing her he had numbered his days.
It would only be a matter of time before Akito, Kin and Sato would be sighted and then they would all join. Though Sesshomaru knew of their past troubles one of their own had been attacked and by their nature they'd align to seek revenge for the one that had been used.
'The Family' was more than people had given them credit it for, it was not just the small group of friends it was those friends way of life. They had sworn to always stand and fight with the others should the need arise. Their Motto had been "We protect our own." It had set fear in the face of many adversaries.
The Family had consisted of six members: Gin, Kin, Akito, Miyo, Sato and Himself. Now whether they were ready or not they were all about to join together for the sake and vengeance of one.
Elsewhere Still
Kagome woke up to have the mist and fog that had fallen over them meet her eyes. InuYasha was gone and from his scent he had gone off to see Kikyo. She honestly didn't see why he still snuck off after all she had given him permission, though she surmised it was just a habit. She sniffed the air for any scents out of place, but mid way through sniffing she stopped dead. She was scenting the air! Kagome cautiously inhaled and was amazed to find that she could smell everything.
The encounter in her dream came flooding back to her. Surely when she said that they would give her the ability to see the end of Naraku and live through it they didn't mean changing her into a youkai, did they! Kagome erected a barrier to protect her slumbering friend while she went to the springs. Sesshomaru's training had certainly come in handy.
Kagome slowly made her way to the springs, she was unsure how she'd react if she was suddenly a youkai. When she first looked in the stilled surface of the spring she was pleased to note that not much had changed. Her hair was just a bit longer and instead of the brown sheen, her hair looked almost a purple black in the light.
Her face didn't seem to have changed only her eyes which were a lighter shade of blue. She also noted that she had filled out a bit more and only grown another inch or so. Her claws were not overly noticeable and where much like InuYasha's looking only to be overly long nails.
Sufficed that the god's had only slightly altered her, she stripped down to take a nice relaxing bath. Upon removal of her shirt, Kagome was amazed to see that it seemed as though she now had a tribal tatto that wrapped around her upper bicep. In the middle lay what appeared to be a picture of the completed Shikon no Tama.
Deciding that she ask Sesshomaru about it later she resumed her bath, happier now to know that she'd live through the final battle and she her friends able to live in peace. Though now what would she do after everyone else was settled? Kagome still brighter about her future was slightly dampened now that this new thought had come to mind
