Kikyo held her hands over Inuyasha, her brows together in concentration, and anger. Her mate had been hurt, the jewel had been lost, and Sesshomaru came once again holding the Miko, she knew it had been his fault. Kikyo removed her hands and let Inuyasha sleep; he needed rest.

Kikyo came out of the hut a village leader had lent them to use; her eyes went to Sesshomaru. He was once again sitting against a tree when Kikyo's shadow blocked his sunlight; he opened his eyes.

"You left him to die," She told him, it was more of a question though. "I am not my brother's keeper" He stated to her cold,

"But you are his brother, tell me demon do you also care for that girl?" She was speaking of Kagome. Sesshomaru looked back, Kagome, Sango, and Sessho had left to get water.

"Do you really loathe her that much priestess?" He had asked that of her before.

Yes, Kikyo did hate her but then again not, she had two sides of her self, fighting. Kikyo turned and walked away, leaving as she often did, but this time she was out to find someone, Naraku.

She stood deep in the forest and sent out her aura and her soul collector.

"Looking for me?"

Kikyo looked up in a tree "You are a mere puppet, who I seek is real."

"Ah but I'm afraid this is all you will get," Naraku's puppet said as he flew down from the tree.

"Angry are we Miko? Do not be mad at me, be mad at your mate's brother, I did offer him the jewel."

Kikyo could not believe what she was hearing "Why would you offer him the jewel?" It had to be a trick.

"All I wanted was the other Miko, but it would seem my plan backfired on me, but alas I have a new one, an easy one, one you might enjoy helping me with."

Kikyo was sick, Naraku and his tricks. But she let him continue speaking "You see, Sesshomaru offered too save your half breed, but only at the aid of the Miko."

Kikyo watched him as he walked around her "Do you know what he demanded of her?"

"No" She spoke cold,

"To mother him another child" An odd smile crossed his face,

Kikyo knew, in an instant, Sesshomaru had put it in a way that Kagome would not understand, she would not mother another Sessho but a son of her own womb. "Foolish girl," Kikyo spoke forgetting about Naraku.

"How would you like to become human again, Kikyo?"

Kikyo looked up at Naraku "Why?" She asked everything was a trick with him.

"I wish for you to give your mate a pup."

Kikyo did want to be human and wanted so much to give Inuyasha a son, but why did Naraku want this of her? What was in it for him? "Why, what do you get out of all this?" She asked keeping her eyes on him.

"Think Miko, Kagome will not be able to stand it, she has lost him as a lover, but she knows you can never bear h, m children. Think of how sad she will be; she will return to her own time."

"Are you that afraid of her?" Kikyo had too been smart, why was Naraku so afraid of Kagome?

"Of her, no my dear Miko, I merely wish for her to go back to her own time, I do not wish for her and the Demon Lord to mate."

"Why do I care?" Kikyo asked she didn't care if Sesshomaru did take Kagome, save her from having to see Inuyasha protect her and care for her. "Trust me Miko; it would not be wise, think, why would I Naraku be afraid of a mere child? hmmm?"

"Let them mate; if you're afraid, it only means their child can defeat you." Kikyo began to walk away,

"They will not mate, Sesshomaru mate a human, he only wishes to pup her."

She stopped "Again, why do I care?" She asked not looking back,

"When and if this is all said and done, where do you think the Miko will end up? She will always be your shadow, and you know if she calls, Inuyasha will go running."

Kikyo heard his words and knew he was right. "Human, as if you can give me life."

"I can't, but they can" As soon as he said it five people in brown robes walked around her, her in the middle. They were demon's that held an ancient power. "Do you wish it so Miko?" Naraku asked.

"Very well." Kikyo agreed.

The elders held out their hands, and soon souls were flying into Kikyo's body, and when they thought she had enough, they sealed them all in and gave her enough power and energy to live a long human life. Kikyo had closed her eyes, but when she opened them, everyone was gone.

"Kikyo!"

It was Inuyasha voice; he had come looking for her, she looked up from her path when she heard his voice. "Kikyo!"

"I'm here Inuyasha." She called to him, and in no time he was running at her "Kikyo, there you ar-"

Her stopped "Kikyo?" He was confused,

"It is I Inuyasha; I am human once more." It was true her once grave dirt and bones were now flesh and bones. "Kikyo?"

Kikyo walked up "Yes Inuyasha?"

"How,-" She placed her finger on his lips "Why question it Inuyasha, we can now be together, the way we always wanted."

That night they did not return to the group, that night they spent together and alone. That night he spilled his seed into her and that night she conceived, but along with their love was their hate and anger, that night Kikyo conceived twins.

One would be born loving and understanding, a Miko.

The other would be born angry and uncaring, a demon.
