Kagome stood up and followed the woman as she walked past her. Keiko looked over at her, 'She is very powerful, more powerful then that of Moridico herself,' she thought as she watched the girl from the corner of her eyes. Her eyes were downcast and blank, 'I will train her in her miko powers and my husband can train in her hanyou powers.' The woman smiled at the thought. She may have a new sister in the makings.

Ten minutes later the two women arrived at the Keiko's hut, "Keiko, you have finally returned." Keiko looked up to see her inu hanyou husband standing in the doorway of their rather large hut, "I see brought home another miko."

Keiko rolled her eyes, "She is not just a miko InuJunior. She's more than that."

"I was just making light of your returning." The man sulked playfully.

Keiko walked up to her husband and gave him a light punch in the shoulder, "I just found someone in need of a friend."

Kagome was watching the scene play before her. The woman had a hanyou for a husband an inu hanyou for that matter. She couldn't believe it. The woman was a miko by her aura and he was very powerful by his aura. He had long silvery white hair and golden eyes like InuYasha. He also had two silvery white dog-ears. He wore a silver and gold silk kimono. Around his waist was a gold sash that held a sword that looked much like the tessaiga. Kagome noticed a pendent around his neck in the shape of a crescent moon.

"Are you from the royal inu family of the western lands?" Kagome asked realizing she was getting into business that did not belong to her.

The male hanyou chuckled, "This girl sure is observant. Yes I am how did you know that?"

Kagome slowly walked up to him, "Your sword and the pendant. Your hair color and eyes. You look exactly like my friend InuYasha."

"InuYasha, haven't heard that name in a long time," He said with a glint of humor in his eyes, "The pup is still alive huh."

Kagome giggled, "Yes he is," Kagome looked Keiko. She was tall for a woman with long raven black hair and deep emerald green eyes. At second glance Kagome noticed this woman was no ordinary woman. She had a demonic aura slight but it was there. The young woman was wearing long a silver-fighting kimono with tongues of fire in red, gold, and orange going up the sides. There were slits going to just above the knees. Underneath the kimono was a pair of gold puffed out pants.

Keiko turned toward her husband and started pushing back into the hut, "Come on InuJunior it's better we get inside before the girl falls over with hunger."

Kagome looked at the two some and giggled. She was beginning to like them, "um, I Kagome. Sorry for not telling you."

"That is quite alright." Keiko ushered Kagome in the hut.

InuJunior looked at Kagome with a twinkle in his eyes, "So tell about InuYasha."

Kagome looked at him with her sober eyes, "Why do you want to know about him?"

"He is my little brother." InuJunior's eyes closed only to open a few minutes later, "I have been searching for him ever since my father died. When I found the village where mother and him lived it was too late. He was already run out of the village."

Kagome looked at him, "InuYasha had a hard life. Lives in a village outside of this forest not far from here."

The older inu hanyou looked her in the eye, "I will have to escort you back tomorrow. With my beautiful wife that is." His gaze fell on his wife Keiko.

InuYasha was looking for Kagome. He started looking when she realized she hadn't returned to the village. So he set off looking for her before Kagome got attacked or hurt. The girl didn't seem herself when she returned from her time. He sniffed the air for her, 'that's funny I can smell but her scent but it's mixed with a demon's.'

InuYasha hadn't seen Kagome since she caught him talking with Kikyo.

Flashback:

It didn't take long after that Kikyo left with her soul collector's and InuYasha went to talk to Keade about the missing sister. He needed to know more about Kikyo and Keade's younger sister, happened to be. Something told him that the person he was looking for is in his group. She had been hidden right in front of them.

His thoughts went to Kagome at how sad she looked. She has always looked as though she belonged here in this time rather then her own. It was a soft message that rang through his heart every time he looked upon the woman he dearly loved. She belonged to him. Could he take on another to protect as Kikyo had asked. Kagome was the only he truly wanted to be with for the rest of his life. Kagome is the gentle raven-haired beauty that plagued his very thoughts. The one he wanted to hold in his arms and never let go. The one his very being accepted as his wife even before he thought of her as such.

InuYasha found himself in front of Keade's hut. He looked in the direction of the hut that Sango and Kagome insisted on having built. They didn't want to burden Keade anymore when they arrived at the village. The two women had planted flowers in the ground next to the hut to make it more like home. In back was a garden of various vegetables and herbs that Keade looked after when they were gone. Kagome had told Keade she could the herbs for medicines and the vegetables for food if she would like. The Shikon Hanyou Pact, as many lovingly called them, started to grow. There were now hanyou of many different kinds. Most were runaways, abandoned, or orphaned children. He was the alpha male of the group. Kagome had become the alpha female. Many of the children were old enough to take care of the grounds when he and the others were taking care of Naraku's forces. By now the Shikon no Tama was completed and in the hands of Naraku. Which meant pain and suffering of many around and more hanyou were coming his way.

InuYasha walked into Keade's hut, "Hey old hag I need to talk to you."

"InuYasha, please call me by my name," Keade turned as InuYasha yelled our to her, "What does ye want?"

"Whatever. Tell me about your sister," InuYasha's stern voice was not missed.

"Ye already know about Kikyo."

"Not that sister, old hag. Your younger sister."

"How does ye know about her."

"Kikyo spoke to me. She wants to know what happened to her before she is able rest in peace. I want to give her that." It was one of InuYasha's rare moments of sharing his feelings, "It is time for her to rest. I want Kagome."

"What do ye want to know about her?"

"Everything."

"Her name was Koi. We were running from a fearsome demon that wanted nothing more than to kill the infant in our hands. Kikyo was ten, I was seven, and our Koi was two months. Koi was the daughter of the most powerful dog demon from the continent and one of the kindest I had ever known. Coming to think of it Kagome has many of his traits. He and my mother fell in love a few days after meeting each other. He took Kikyo and I in as his daughters. We found a great father in him and loved him dearly. A few months after Koi was born The Lord of the Western Lands found out about him being in his lands and had him killed for his being on western lands. The order was also to kill his whole family meaning my mother, sister's and I. My stepfather told us to run and not to look back. We were told to come into the neutral lands." Keade sighed, "A demon was after us because they wanted the infant. Koi was powerful even then. We were running what is now called InuYasha's forest. The demon was coming in faster then we could go. Koi was slowing us down. So instead of leaving under a bush we decided to hide her in the bone eater's well and we took off the other hoping to lead them away from her. When we returned for her she was gone and the rope was cut clean. We spent the rest of our lives looking for her."

End of Flashback

InuYasha followed her scent to the river where she met Keiko. InuYasha got down on his stomach and caught her scent. He stood and started to follow the trail of her scent. A few minutes he came upon a large hut. Sniffing the air he realized that Kagome was there along with two other hanyous. One was an inu hanyou and the other a tenki hanyou. InuYasha let out a low growl. 'If Kagome is hurt I will hurt everyone in that hut.'

Inside the hut Kagome ears twitched at the sound of a low growl. 'Is that InuYasha?' Kagome thought, "I should have known." Kagome spoke while quietly getting up from her chair. She stood up and walked out of the hut. Right in front of her stood InuYasha.

"Kagome stay here for the night." Keiko said as she grabbed Kagome's arm, "It's too dangerous outside at night."

Kagome turned toward Keiko her eyes stared deep into her emerald eyes, "I will fine InuYasha's out there. I heard his growl."

InuJunior stood up and walked to his wife's side, "Kagome, I didn't hear anything."

"Know he's out there," Kagome looked out into the darkness of the forest. Kagome took a step out the door. InuYasha stood a few yards away.

"Where's Kagome," InuYasha growled.

Kagome walked over to InuYasha while the other two looked on, "InuYasha, It's me I'm Kagome."

"Kagome's human not a hanyou,"

Kagome stopped in her tracks when she was within smelling range, "InuYasha, smell me. I have returned back to the way they found me."

InuYasha walked closer to her and sniffed her. A few moments later he took her in his arms, "Kagome, I was scared I lost you. Why are you a hanyou?"

"This is how my parents found me," Kagome looked up at InuYasha, "Are mad."

"No, I was worried," InuYasha looked over at the two people watching them, "Who are they." He watched the people behind him making sure they weren't coming any closer to them. He promised Kagome mom that he would keep her safe no matter what. He intended to keep it that way, "Did they hurt you?"

"No, I am okay," Kagome, noticed InuYasha was running his hands through her silvery white hair.

InuYasha couldn't help but to run his hands through Kagome's no white hair, "Uh InuYasha why are touching my hair?"

InuYasha pulled his hands away as if they were on fire and crossed arms in his shirt sleeves, "Feh whatever, Let's go." InuYasha started walking when he saw Kagome was walking next to him. He glanced side ways at her. He noticed the same sadness he sensed earlier on her. 'What is wrong with you, Kagome?'

"You are not going without us." Keiko ran into the hut while her inu hanyou stood outside watching the two younger hanyou react. Keiko came out of the hut with a bundle and took her husbands hand, "Now we will go."

"What makes you think you are coming with us," InuYasha yelled, "You aren't coming'"

InuJunior's eyes twinkled for a second time, 'This is going to be a fun time.' He walked up to InuYasha, "Have you noticed the power that resides in Kagome here?"

InuYasha looked dumbly at Kagome. He was more worried about her at the moment then to take in her new look. He loved the young girl so much. She was now an inu hanyou but is not of Japanese origin. He could see that. 'I wonder if she is from the continent.' He decided to ask Myoga about it next time InuYasha saw him, "Keade can train her."

"Is Keade a powerful hanyou as well," Keiko asked as a matter of fact.

"No the old hag's a human," InuYasha said just before he felt someone smack him in the back of the head.

"Show more respect to your elder, Pup," InuJunior sighed in boredom. Kagome giggled at the sight of InuYasha getting the same treatment he gives everyone else.

"What are laughing at," InuYasha was getting annoyed at Kagome's giggles.

"At least I didn't sit you this time," Thud InuYasha hit the dirt. Kagome put her hand over her mouth when she realized what she said, "Sorry I didn't that time."

"Sure you did!!!" Kagome brushed the comment off and proceeded to walk next to InuYasha.

"Thanks for looking for me," Kagome was looking ahead of her.

Thirty minutes later the foursome arrived the small village Edo Kagome, InuYasha, and their friends live. Kagome turned to the others, "Welcome, to InuYasha's and my home E…"

"Kagome!!!!!!" A small voice was heard as a small reddish brown ball of fluff jumped into Kagome's arms and almost knocking her over. InuYasha caught her before she hit the ground.

"Thanks InuYasha." She turned to the ball of fluff in her arms, "Shippo, how are you?"

"Kagome, why do you look and smell different?" Shippo looked up at Kagome with his big emerald eyes.

"I will tell you and the others when we get home okay. Shippo why don't you go get Keade and tell her to met us at our hut," Kagome started walking the edge of the village. Kagome and Sango wanted to have a hut separate to Keade. They didn't want to intrude on Keade anymore. The hut was made with many separate apartments that consisted of two or three other rooms. InuYasha's apartment was the largest be cause he was the leader and main protector the village. The hut also had a common area where everyone would gather for meals and to chat.

Shippo jumped out of Kagome's arms, "Kagome's back and she's a hanyou!!!!!!!!!!!" he yelled while running into Keade's hut.

They walked to the other end of the village where his pact lived. The home of The Shikon Hanyou Pact came into view. She heard their two guests gasp at the hugeness. InuYasha smirked, "It was Kagome's idea to create a with separate living spaces for individual families."

InuJunior looked over at the hanyou that leaned into InuYasha's chest, "Where did you get that idea?"

"Back home," Kagome felt an arm wrap around her waist. Kagome looked at InuYasha in surprise he had never done that before, "Where I come from it is very common. But most are several stories higher."
