I love the reviews. Thanks On to the next chappie

Chapter Seventeen

Kagome was talking to Midoriko to see what was going on why everyone was scared of her and needed to know what to do about the fear in her heart. She wanted to stay with the demon lord. She would give anything to remain his. She wanted to make sure he was happy.

(Kagome's dream)

She sat near the water and looked in and started to cry again. Knowing in her heart she would lose the Demon lord. The one she loved; it was really a doubt about him. More of a doubt any other lord would allow her to stay with them once they found out the truth about her.

"Midoriko will I get to stay with him and raise our son? Or will I be able to stay?" She asked the priestess next to her. She knew the answer before it came. She knew that it was going to be the one she didn't want to hear.

"You will have to leave you will still see the child but you can't be with your lord. He and you will be separated by the lords. I am sorry." She said and held her daughter. She was sorry for this. She knew they were in love and would be unwanted. This was forbidden of a priestess and demon to mate. If it happened the child was raised till the father could handle it and then the parents separated. Sesshoumaru could lose his title but it would not keep them together. Then it is heard of for the child to remain with its mother.

"Could I give up being a miko and stay with him?" She asked. Knowing it was probably impossible. She would do it in a heart beat. She was that desperate.

"The only one who can do that is the Fire-Inu's they can remove the miko powers from a miko and then make them human. But Sesshoumaru needs a powerful mate." That's when Kagome nodded.

"Then fate is just cruel to make us meant to be together and then make it impossible to be with each other." She walked back and became furious. She forced her self up and would leave when she did.

(End)

She got up and packed to leave. She wrote a quick note and left. She kissed her love's cheek and left their room she grabbed her son Shippo and Inu Taisho. After that she left to find a place to stay for the moment and then would he to Keade's. She was no longer going to be with the father of her child and that was that. She knew what fate had in store.

Sesshoumaru woke to find his mate gone. He could smell she was no longer in the palace. There was a note on the pillow that told him she left to protect him from heartbreak. He was already destroyed because he knew the other lord's would love that his heir was powerful but his mat a powerful miko. That was forbidden by both sides. Now she was gone as well as his son. She took him.

"Damn the fates must hate us for something. I love her and wish her to be with me. I would give my very immortality up for her." Make us mortal human so our mate can stay with us. She is our true and only mate. But then we would be no longer. I would do it but you would no longer exist. She could give up her miko abilities but then the lords would question the pup being hers. Same goes for us. Fate is cruel wait we could just make the Hanyou lord and disappear and then remain mates. Yes but she would want to see her friends and family. Go to her time. Remain mates there… He couldn't finish the thought for the lords were in his room and had a question for him.

"Did you mate the descendant of Midoriko?" Sesshoumaru nodded. He knew soon she would purify the mark they shared. He would then lose her forever.

"Yes I mated the descendant of Midoriko. She left for the spirit of Midoriko must have informed her of the law of both sides. I also no longer have my son for she took him. I am soon to be truly without my…" He bolted after feeling the attack on his son and mate.

Run she needs us. She needs us to save her. She is in danger. I know she is our mate true mate. Mate! The Taiyoukai ran the fastest he could and made it to the one he mated. Eyes crimson and threatening who ever laid hands on her. The low level demon was trying to kill her. Her powers didn't work for she had no need to fight right now the child was safe behind a shield that would never come down. Her sword held a purifying barrier.

"Unhand my mate." The demon was running but didn't get far before he was killed. Sesshoumaru came back and held her close and wouldn't her go. The other lords and the gang showed up to see the demon lord in tears. He would surely lose her and he knew it. Not to death but because their mating was forbidden. No way around it. The only way he could be hers was to get the other lords to allow it and that would never happen. Kouga would but not the other two.

"Sesshoumaru?" Said Kagome coming to she recognized the feeling. It was her mate. He had saved her. Still he fought to protect her even knowing they could never remain in the arms of one another.

"Yes my mate I am here." He held her tight and would not let go. He would never see her again if he did that.

"Please just leave I know the laws and I won't put your pride at risk for my own desires. I know that your title is more important then anything." She said and tried to stand but he didn't let go.

"Not more important then my mate. I would die if it meant that I had you in my arms. I would forget that I am a Taiyoukai and give all I have the palace and the title just to be in your arms. I would even become a mortal. But you need a strong mate. Someone that can protect you and the child." He said he didn't care that he needed the child. He wanted her happy. He knew that the lords were hearing this.

She was shocked in he was basically saying that he was weak to help her when he knew he needed to. He was actually helpless and he hated it. She saw the pain in the emotionless youkai and knew he was in pain for he was losing the most precious thing in his life again. He lost his mother now the love of his life. His one true mate was out of reach.

Kouga walked up. He had news for the lords. He was happy to deliver the news. It would end this sad scene before him. He hated to see his friend and former future mate sad. He knew this would make them both happy. He also saw the child and knew then that the he was doing the right thing.

"We the three other lords will allow you to remain mates and not force you to separate. The one thing we require is that you help Lady Kagome Midoriko Higurashi in the defeat of Naraku." Said Kouga and saw her run to him happy. She would hug him but stopped and ran to the child. Broke the barrier and ran out. Just as that happened Kikyo came out and smirked.

"So you think she is the descendant of Midoriko. HAHAHAHAHAHA!" Laughed the evil priestess with a hand on her stomach. She was doubling over with laughter. Kagome handed the child to its father and unsheathed her sword. It rung with power.

"Let's see your arrows beat this Kikyo." She said sadistically and attacked. Kikyo fired the arrow but missed and Kagome had the purifying sword to her throat but moved to thrust the sword into Kikyo's stomach. Kikyo Gasped in pain.

"NOOOOOO!" They heard Inu Yasha yelled. He could smell the child.

"No worries mate." Said Maniko. Kissing him she smirked. Then Kagome turned and held the infant in her arms. After commanding the sword to save the child and kill the mother. Her powers brought the child out unharmed.

"This child is Naraku's Heir but I destroyed the evil in it and made the child of the west. Now I will ask you a question Inu Yasha will you raise him or not." Inu Yasha nodded. He would raise Kikyo's son. Kagome walked the pup to Inu Yasha and handed the child to him.

"Now that Kikyo is dead Naraku may advance because his mate and heir are gone. We should return to the palace." She said and they walked to the western palace to talk. Kagome grabbed Inu Taisho. As they reached the palace the lord's had a question.

"How close in relation to the Miko Midoriko are you. I mean, is she your Ancestor or your birth mother." That stopped Kagome she didn't know but the answer came to her quick. I am your birth mother that woman raising you is your foster mother. I am actually a mated woman. The answer need the history lesson didn't but thanks Wait I would need to be a hanyou to look this old. Your father is actually a lord. He is the Northern Lord A Fire-Inu Youkai. Same rule applies to you as your son. You are the child of a demon and miko mating. Meaning you are full-blooded. I raised you then sent you to the future to protect you. But when you came back your father was not ready. Last Night the spell was broken to allow you to have full range of your powers. Soon they will show. So that would be why he didn't mind but the other lord. Must have said yes because…They are friends and he knows of you but doesn't realize it yet. Oh, Okay mom She smiled she had a surprise.

"True child I am the child she gave birth to. Mother how do I prove it I have to…"The northern lord stepped forward and released the spell. He after all watched his mate place it.

"Sesshoumaru you mated my heir." He said after releasing the spell. Sesshoumaru was shocked. His mate was a Fire-Inu Youkai. Her hair was tinted with a beautiful reddish pink color. The crescent Moon of the west engulfed in red flame for the north appeared on her head Saying heir to the north and lady of the west.

"How can this be the north had no…" He was stopped by his mate.

"Like you and I they were in love and mated. After the other lords found out. They were split. Unlike us. My mother raised me until I was able to be with out her then sent me to the future and I was raised there. Now that I am back I can take my spot on the northern Throne. I have my powers and my abilities. But I don't know anything about my Youkai abilities only my Miko. Father." She didn't need to ask he nodded.

"Sesshoumaru you wouldn't mind if I stop by once a month I heard from my mate she is a quick learner." Sesshoumaru shook his head and turned to the lord of the south.

"Why did you agree?" He asked and the lord laughed.

"He and I were and are good friends. I knew of the mating and was okay for I to longed to mate her. But the other to lords which at the time the fathers of you two said that it was forbidden. And they were separated. I was surprised and knew that if she came back she would mate. I said if it was a demon I would say okay." Sesshoumaru nodded knew the answer for the wolf since him and Kagome were friends it was okay.

"Well mate I guess now I don't have to worry ever about the pups being Hanyou but even if they were I would be happy. They are yours." He said and kissed her. She was his and his forever only problem left was the Hanyou Naraku. He and his heir. The child may not be evil but the father was and could control it.

Kagome knew what her mate was thinking and knew how to correct her error. She stopped and waited for Inu Yasha to come in. As he entered he saw her standing their. He saw the look and knew she had something she was going to do. As she approached the child started to squirm. He was curious.

"Inu Yasha give me the child. I need to hold the pup." She said and he gave her the child. She held the baby and closed her eyes. They saw her and she began to glow. She was blocking any attempt the bastard would make to control the child. Once she was done the child was placed back into Inu Yasha's arms and she walked to her mate. Good job the child can't be controlled and you can get information from him but be careful. Don't rely on him for information. Actually don't ask him to often let…him come to us in know mom. If he sees it as important he can bring it up. She said and walked with her mate to the study. Her father smiled.

"Talking to your mother?" She nodded. And smiled and gave him a hug. She was happy to have her father in her life.

"Yeah she just congratulated me. On the barriers around the child." She said and then went to her mate and stood near the window. Looking out. She was not happy she felt an ominous aura out there and knew that Naraku was coming to get them. She placed the barrier up and then listened to the talk. It was not important. She had to stay though. She was half listening. More like waiting for an excuse to leave. Then her son woke and needed the feeding.

"Excuse me My child calls." She said bowed and left. Sesshoumaru nodded as did the others. Sesshoumaru knew she wanted out. He didn't blame her. He looked out and noticed the Barrier. She was protecting them. Maniko had a kid sister and that was his mate.

Maniko was feeding the Lady Kanome and hear Kagome come in and nodded. She knew the unasked question. Then answered the question.

"Yes we are sisters and I will not get mad at you for disappearing. We are only Half sisters. You are older and the rightful heir though I think I know who will be getting the job. I was raised as an only child and know that I was not. Sent me a letter that said that I was not." She said and then watched Kagome feed her son and put him to sleep with that she went to the dinning hall. Maniko did the same and followed her sister.

"To The Lord and Lady of the West for their hospitality. Also to Lord Higurashi for the finding of his beautiful Heiresses." Said Kyote and tilted his glass. Shippo gained the Northern symbol. For he was adopted by the heiress. He also had the Western symbol. Same with Rin. Inu Taisho already had the red flame. Sesshoumaru and Kagome didn't notice do to the spell on her.

They ate and rejoiced. But the children went to play and then to bed. Rin and Shippo were happy. They had and grandpa and now they were heirs to the North and West. As the children went to bed they smiled and fell asleep. Their parents kissing them goodnight and their grandfather tucked them in.

"I am glad I got to meet my father. Now that all my history is cleared I have one question did you ever expect me to mate Sesshoumaru. You didn't seemed to surprised after the whole thing became clear." She asked and he nodded.

"I did. After your mother left with you. Me and Inu Taisho spoke and decided if you were to come back you would mate Sesshoumaru. As a treaty. I guess I was happy you did anyway. I was looking out for you." He said and bid her goodnight. She walked to her room to see Sesshoumaru on the balcony.

"I heard odd how we mated anyway." He said and saw her nodded. They laughed and got ready for some much needed rest. That night they slept with the knowledge that everything was turning out just fine.
