Chapter Twenty-Five

Midoriko sat there at her home. Her mate happy to have her back but she knew that he was worried that she may not be staying. The morning was work and then in the evening he spent with her. She was his little world. She may be leaving and she would never be his. Midoriko hated to see him like this.

"Dear I know that you already guessed what will happen after the child grows up. I will leave and return to the life of the dead. That is ten years away. Don't make me the reason you don't move on. Be happy for our daughter and make her the reason you live. She needs you to be happy for her." She said and kissed him his heart was dying.

"I love you my mate I don't want you to go. Why did the gods make you for me and then not let me have you. Please don't leave me again. I don't want to lose you again. I am happy for our daughter and I want her to be happy too. But to lose my mate a second time will be my end." Said Kyten knowing that she was right he needed to move on and not give up. But his heart was hers.

They held each other and relaxed the rest of the evening. Midoriko would have to leave though and she knew that there would be no other way. The jewel would have to be return into her daughter and a new wish of pure intentions had to be made then maybe she could return. She doubted it but maybe.

Kagome

Kagome waited her mother would return today her mate was speaking with Kouga and Ayame was out with their recent litter of cubs. She knew that Kouga was happy about the couple even though occasionally he offers to give her a break from the Dog she loved so much. But she always turned him down.

She heard her mom coming and ran down to meet her as the old miko entered the palace she was bowed to. She never noticed until then the mark on her head. She had the symbol for lady of the north. Some how she doubted that the symbol would remain. She wished and didn't for it to fade and move to another female. Her mate deserved something and some one better that could give him a good heir.

"Daughter how are the children?" She asked and Kagome smiled at her mother the pure energy pouring from the two powerful miko's. Naraku was due for another attack any minute and the power of the barrier was weakened due to the changing of the miko who created it.

"They are doing fine. Naraku will be here soon so don't worry. I doubt he would miss this. Kagome reinforced the barrier and made it fire. She needed it to hold. It was weakened and that could not do.

Kouga & Sesshoumaru

Kagome walked to the Study and found the lords were just finishing. She had meant to ask if she would need to send lunch to the room but this answered the question. Sesshoumaru had yet to leave he had work and Kagome knew that generally came first so she went to leave. But he stopped her.

"Kagome is there something you need?" He asked annoyed. She smiled and turned. Angry that he used that tone. She knew he had not meant to but the way he said sound otherwise. She was fitting the need to snap at him.

"I was just coming to ask if you want the lunch for you brought here. Kouga went to the dinning hall but you seemed to still need to work so I will just send a servant to get you lunch milord." She said as if to let him know she had heard the underlying tone and that made him realize what he did.

"Sorry mate I just had a bad day. The wolf won't listen to reason. I tried to tell him that we can't rush things Naraku is waiting for us to make the first move. He would not take the hint I would not join him in the suicide." She nodded. Knowing her response. She understood both sides.

"I know if I were down there I would hear an echo. Ayame is hearing the same thing but from Kouga's side. I will say this. He isn't as protected as us. They are getting killed you won't offer a little bit of help to defend them selves. Try seeing it from his side dear. Now we have my mom powering the jewel and barrier. I am helping but we can't last." She said and waited for a response.

Sesshoumaru was shocked for a moment remembering Kouga saying something about getting help and his packs dieing. He couldn't believe he had been just told the same thing twice and that his mate was suggesting maybe that they help each other. But then Kouga came in and he saw Ayame give a signal that meant they to had discussed the meeting.

"We will leave you two to talk. Also we will send a meal up for you." They said and left but both lords stood in their way. Kouga was not angry but confused. As was the lord of the west.

"Did you two plan this?" Asked Kouga and the women shook there heads no.

"How could we?" Said Ayame knowing Kouga didn't believe them.

"Kagome how could you suggest I see it from his point of view when I am not him?" said The great Tai youkai. Looking at his mate.

"Think of it this way your friends sitting safely behind a barrier while you have one that doesn't do much. You ask for help they turn you down. What would you do? Try to eliminate the problem yourself and only need a little bit of help. He wants one of two things right now. Safe place for his packs to stay or Help destroying Naraku." Said Kagome and made the three people stare in shock as her powers came flooding out and powering the barrier. She had more left but the barrier expanded and went south. As the land was covered in the barrier.

Kagome then fainted and Sesshoumaru called to the servants to get lunch and bring it to there room. Kouga went with Ayame to eat. Sesshoumaru couldn't believe his mate had just told him off and had extended the barrier to protect the south. He laid her down. The child is straining her. He knew she would probably lose it. Kissing her he heard a knock and went to the door.

Kouga was certainly appreciating the help and would wait for the chance when the time came. He knew that ten years was a long time away but he could wait and would. Ayame was all he would need to hold back the need to tear apart the Hanyou.

Midoriko was proud that her child realized what would get her some of her powers back. She extended the barrier and the powers came back. Only problem the child she carried would suffer. Kagome would eventually miscarry this pup. Did she really want to chance that?

Poll miscarry or not? Also Midoriko stay Alive or go back to being dead? Your choice. Review please.
