---- Last time ----

"Kagome I can't"

He was cut off as she spoke adamantly, pressing the jewel more firmly in his hand. "Take it, its yours. I'll understand, whatever choice you make. I know how you feel Inuyasha and I understand you completely."

Inuyasha smiled and gave Kagome a warm hug. "I love you Kagome. You're my best friend and I couldn't love you more if you were my own sister."

He released her and clutched the jewel firmly in his hand as he made his wish. "Shikon No Tama, I wish that...

Ch. 4 Inuyasha's Wish And Sesshoumaru's Castle

"Shikon No Tama, I wish that Kikyou was alive with own soul, separate from Kagome's so they both can live in this world. Please Shikon, that's all I ask for. I want my love to return, as she once was, a living woman. Please, oh Shikon."

As Inuyasha finished his speech, the jewel glowed brighter and went returned to Kagome's body, only this time it imbedded itself in her heart.

---Kikyou's POV---

'Huh what the...'

A bright light went into my body and then for the first time, in a long time I felt happy and free of burden. I looked down and noticed that my skin now had more color and that I could actually feel. That's when it hit me. 'I'm alive' thought in wonder. I got up and ran to my sister's village. I was just in time to see the jewel disappearing into the body of its rightful owner.

---Normal prove---

Kikyou ran to Inuyasha and embraced him. He slowly put his arms around her and watched in wonder as she cried. To see her with emotions was amazing and he smiled before releasing her and walking over to Kagome.

"Thank you, for everything. Without your help, I wouldn't have my love back now. All I can say is please stay, don't leave us. You belong here, not in your time"

Kagome's voice was soft voice as she spoke to best friend and her new sister. "Inuyasha, I would love to stay, you know that but I can't just forget all about my family. I love them too. If I agree to stay then I must be permitted to travel between the two worlds with no resistance from you or anybody else. Can you promise me this?"

Inuyasha nodded solemnly in agreement. "You have my word Kagome."

She smiled at him happily. "Then yes Inu-chan, I'll stay with you and our new family."

She smiled at Kikyou, who beamed happily back at her. Suddenly, a sexy voice from behind drew her attention.

"Kagome."

"Yes Sesshoumaru-sama?" she asked the sexy lord. Am I right or am I right? He is so foxy. Ya, lol back to the story

"We need to leave, Rin is still sick. She needs your help." He spoke in a pleading voice that belied his calm demeanor.

'Oh god, I forgot. I hope she's okay.' Kagome thought worriedly.

He came to stand before her, picking her up by the waist as he produce his cloud beneath them. They lifted to the air and sailed off, Kagome waving her friends goodbye.

---Sesshoumaru's Castle---

They arrived at the castle to find that though Rin felt much better, she still held a rather high fever and upset stomach. She was in the garden sitting under a willow tree when she saw Sesshoumaru land in front of her with a pretty lady demon.

'Wow, she's so beautiful!' Rin thought, 'she might be an angel.' "Sesshomaru-sama! Rin is feeling much better but my tummy still hurts and Jaken says that I have a fever. Is this pretty lady going to help Rin?"

"Yes Rin she is, now back to back bed so the pretty lady can see what's the matter." Sesshoumaru spoke in a gentle tone of voice.

"Okay Sesshoumaru-sama." Rin said with a toothy smile.

"Now Kagome, I'd like you to stay for a while. I need your help and not just with Rin. I'll be in my study. My servant, Sakura will show you around" Sesshoumaru was his usual emotionless self as he walked away, not bothering to see if she was listening or not.

A beautiful wolf demon appeared after a few minutes. She was somehow different but Kagome could not explain how. Her hair was long and white with blue streaks. A blue moon graced her forehead and two beautiful baby blue stripes streaked both her cheeks. She wore a light blue kimono that matched the shade of the slash on both her eyelids.

---Kagome's POV---

"Wow, you're beautiful."

I finally said when I found my voice. I gasped when I noticed her eyes. They were different from any other demons I'd seen, a strange mix of blue, gold and light green. She had the cutest tail I'd ever seen.

"Well thank you my lady, I am most honored." She bowed respectfully as she spoke to me. "I'm your personal servant, Sakura. The master has asked me to show you around then to help you get ready for dinner."

"Okay then but on one condition. You stop calling me lady Kagome. I hate formalities." My face wore a goofy grin as I looked at her smiling face.

"Oh, no, my lady. I wish I could but Master Sesshoumaru insisted I call you that. If you like though, I can do as you wish when we are alone. I would love to call you Kagome!"

"All right then, that will be fine," I told her with a long sigh.

She led me around the castle, explaining which areas were out of bounds. As we walked down a long hallway, I suddenly stopped.

"Kagome? Are you okay?" Sakura walked towards me, her face a picture of concern.

I stood transfixed, staring at a picture of Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha as children. They where playing in a garden. Sesshoumaru was chasing Inuyasha around and they looked happy, laughing with obvious glee. Leaning against a nearby tree stood their father, who wore a cold expression as he watched them. I felt deeply shocked and fought to hide the tears that gathered in my eyes.

---Sakura's POV---

My eyes widened as I approached Kagome. I could smell the salty tears and couldn't believe that she was crying. My eyes followed the direction of her stare. The look on Kagome's face shocked me. It was as if her soul reached out to those two little boys.

"Kagome, are you all right?" I asked in concern.

"Y-yes I'm fine. It's just... who is that man in the picture? The one leaning on the tree." She looked at me with such confusion that I wanted to soothe her

"It's lord Sesshoumaru's father." I look at her with a questioning look. "May I ask why Kagome?"

"Oh... nothing, I just have the strangest feeling that I've met him somewhere." She suddenly smiled as a faraway look came over her face. "It reminds of my own family back home."

"Back home...?" I stared at her curiously wondering what she meant. She laughed and explained to me about her home in the future.

"What is your family like Kagome? What are their names?" I asked her with a sad look on my face.

"Oh, I have a younger brother, named Souta. Then there's my mother and my grandpa. My dad died when I was young, my mom told me about it cause I don't remember. Sometimes I wonder though... but oh well. So do you have a family?"

"Why no, I have no family. They all died except my cousin Amber. She's a phoenix dragon demon. She is Rin-chan's servant and will also be helping you Kagome," I told her in an emotionless voice. "We must be going now, Master Sesshoumaru hates it when people are tardy and you still have to check over Rin-chan."

I plastered on my fake smile and turned to leave but stopped when she spoke.

"Uh Sakura, are you okay?"

I saw the questioning look on her face and quickly hid my emotions, speaking my lie in the dead emotionless tone that was mine. "Yes Kagome-chan. Everything is fine, really"

---Kagome's POV---

I knew she was lying, my new demon senses told me so but took I kept my silence, sensing that she had no desire to talk about it. I simply just followed her to Rin's room and knocked on the door, hearing a cute little voice calling from inside.

"Come in."

I opened the door to see the little girl lying down in a big bed, her cheeks flushed pink.

"Hello Rin. My name is Kagome. I'm going to make you feel all better, okay?" I asked and smiled as she nodded. "May I sit on your bed?"

Again she nodded and I sat down beside her. I put my hand on her forehead, testing her temperature. She felt quite hot beneath my touch so I concentrated, pouring my healing miko powers into her. I started glowed a light blue as the process continued. When I finished with her fever I gently laid my hand on her stomach and began to remove the pain. Rin giggled as she started to glow light blue. I opened my eyes and looked at her carefully, noting her improvement by her highly elevated spirits.

"Wow, thank you Kagome-chan. Rin feels much better, thank you." Rin's relief was clear to see.

"Now Rin, it's time for you to bath and get dressed. Master Sesshoumaru is waiting." Sakura's tone was firm yet gentle.

"Yes Sakura-sama, Rin will go now. Bye Kagome-neechan. Thank you for making Rin all better! Bye, bye!" The little girl waved happily to Sakura and me before she skipped out the door.

"Okay Kagome, let's go and get you dressed."

Sakura turned and led me to different room. She walked to a closet, opening it and removing a beautiful kimono. It was silver and blue, lined in gold with gold flowers scattered over it. A silver dog sat on the back. She also pulled out a blue and gold sash and a pair of black boots.

"Here you go Kagome. I'll be out side, just yell if you need me."

I thanked her and grabbed the clothes from her outstretched hands. She turned and left, leaving me alone to change. When I finished, I called for her to come back in.

"Wow Kagome, you look good! Come on, let's go."

We walked out the room and down the hall to the left, following the stairs and to the right into the dinning room. When we entered, Sesshoumaru was sitting with his head looking down. When he looked up he saw...
