Chapter 10: Tying all the lose ends

In the morning the group headed towards the western castle, Kagome was excited to see her boy Sesshomaru. Kagome wondered what had happened to Diamond, her mate had told her that when she departed the pup went into depression and would sleep in their room beside of Kagome's scent that still lingered their. Kagome knew that from what happened with Inuyasha that Sesshomaru wouldn't remember who she was. Kagome still didn't know the whole story of what happened in her family's live but she wanted to find out.

She was thinking about what her family in the future, she wondered if she was able to go back through the well to see her family. She wondered if her mate and children would go through the well with her and see them. The group had reached the castle, Kagome looked over the castle it was just how she left it. The gardens looked beautiful maybe even more. Inu-Tashio looked over at his mate, he smiled when he saw her reaction.

"Welcome home love."

"Thank-you love I'm happy to be home…"

A few servants came to the grounds to greet their master and his guests. Some of the servants noticed Kagome and Bowed to her and greeted her as their lost Lady of the Western Lands.

"Milady you have returned to us."

"Ummm…"

"Come everyone lets go inside."

"Love?"

"Yes Kagome?"

"Where's Sesshomaru?"

"I don't know…I don't sense his aura in the castle…Lola?"

"Yes Milord?"

"Where is my son?"

"He said something about getting a sword from his half brother."

Kagome's face paled when she heard the servant speak.

"What did I do wrong to make my children hate each other so much…I only wish that this never happened…my poor babies."

Kagome looked down at his stomach and wrapped her arms protectively in front of her stomach.

"I will not make the same mistake with you my little one, whenever I go you will go with me that is a promise I will make."

"Kagome?"

"Huh…"

"You look tried love why don't I take you to bed?"

"That sounds wonderful…"

"Lola?"

"Yes?"

"Take our guests to the east wing, the kit give a room next to Rin's and Inuyasha take him to his room."

"Yes my lord."

Lola bowed and walked towards the guests rooms. Inu-Tashio took Kagome into his arms and walked to their room. When Kagome was safe and sound in their bed he gave his mate a kiss and then went to work for a bit before Kagome woke up. When Kagome woke up she noticed that her mate wasn't with her so she went to the gardens. Kagome was passing the study when she heard people yelling, Kagome hid her scent and she carefully opened the door so she wouldn't be noticed. Her mate and son Sesshomaru were auguring inside.

"Father way did you bring that filth into this house? Do you know that the miko is his wretch?"

"Sesshomaru he is your brother…and Kagome is my mate."

"Half brother…that filth is tainted with dirty blood…and why did you take that bitch as your mate…she worthless or is she just going to warm you bed until you get tried of her?"

"YOU WILL NOT SPEAK OF MY MATE LIKE THAT."

"WHY SHE'S A GOOD FOR NOTHING BITCH…"

Tears foamed in Kagome's eyes she couldn't believe it her own son called her a bitch, she felt worthless. A few tears fell down her face, Inu-Tashio and Sesshomaru smelled the scent of salt. Inu-Tashio looked at the door and knew that Kagome had over hear their conversation. Kagome knew she was busted when her mate came to the door and opened it, he stepped aside and let Kagome enter the room. When Sesshomaru looked over at Sesshomaru their eyes met, Sesshomaru's eyes fazed over and his eyes rolled back into his head the only word that escaped his lips was.

"Mother?"

Sesshomaru fall down on the floor Inu-Tashio picked up his son and took him to his room. Kagome called a servant to get a bowl of water and a cloth for Sesshomaru. Kagome knew that this was going to happen because Inuyasha had experienced it but what surprised her was the Sesshomaru recognized Kagome as his mother. Maybe all hope was not lost maybe Kagome could find some answers to her unanswered questions. When the servant came back with the items that Kagome requested she placed the cloth in the cool water then she placed it on Sesshomaru's forehead.

When Kagome was satisfied that Sesshomaru was well, she left the room and walked out into the gardens. Kagome went to a special spot where she could think it peace without anyone interrupting her thoughts. Kagome laid down on the grass she looked up to the sky and she let her mind wander.

"Kagome…"

"Midoriko?"

"Yes child…"

"What is it?"

"I wanted to tell you why your children reacted differently to you…"

"Okay…please explain to me."

"Alright…before you even came to the feudal era…you mate Inu-Tashio mated with Izayoi. She tried killing Sesshomaru and also tried to get Inuyasha to become the lord of the western land when Inu-Tashio died. Sesshomaru was angry with his father for taking a mate after his mother died. When Sesshomaru told his father that Izayoi tried many times to kill him. Inu-Tashio never did anything about it, when Izayoi died Inuyasha thought that Sesshomaru killed her. Which he didn't but they are still mad at each about that. When you came to the feudal era all that had changed, when you went back farther into the past your children memories were reborn. But when I took you back to the feudal era I had to lock up their memories for you until you met them again."

"I see."

"That is the important information…also child do you know what sex if your baby?"

"Ummm…"

"It's a girl…"

"Really?"

"Really"

"Midoriko I was wondering if I will be able to go back through the well again?"

"Kagome I am not sure if the well still has power to it…but you life span is different now so you will be able to see you family in 500 years."

"But I would still like to try and see if I could to tell my family I'm okay."

"I understand child."

"I better go Midoriko I want to see how Sesshomaru is doing."

"Good luck Kagome…we will meet again."

"I hope so."

"Goodbye."

"Goodbye."

Kagome walked out of the garden and back to Sesshomaru's room. She got there and opened the door Sesshomaru looked like he was sleeping. When she got closer to him she knew that he was awake but he was just faking that he was sleeping.

"Sesshomaru?"

"…."

"Are you sleeping?"

"…."

"If you listening when you wake up I want to talk to you."

"…."

There was a knock on the door "Enter" the door opened and Inuyasha appeared at the room way looking his mother and Sesshomaru.

"Mother?"

"Yes sweetie?"

Sesshomaru opened his eyes and looked his mother. Only Sesshomaru was allowed to be called Sweetie by Kagome him and him alone.

"You can't call him sweetie only I can be called that."

Kagome looked over at Sesshomaru, he was sitting up and looking at his mother and glaring at Inuyasha.

"Sesshomaru your awake."

"Mother, I don't want you calling Inuyasha or anyone Sweetie…that name is the name you gave me when I was a child and only I could have the right to be called that."

"Stop acting like a child Sesshomaru."

"You want a piece of me…little brother?"

"BOYS…stop it…I understand Sesshomaru I will try not to call anyone sweetie but you…now Inuyasha what did you need?"

"Ummm…"

"Don't tell me that you just wanted to see me for me reason."

"Well Ummm."

Kagome sat down on the bed next to she motioned Inuyasha to sit down on the chair. Inuyasha nodded and sat down both Sesshomaru and Inuyasha wondered what their mother was planning.

"My boys I believe that you all have your memories back?"

"Yes." the both stated

"I want to know what happened to you too, why do you hate each other so much?"

"Mother is all about our fake memories…Inuyasha believed that I killed his mother, and I blamed his mother for killing mine and mating father."

"I see."

"Mother?"

"Yes Sesshomaru?"

"Why did you leave us?"

"Do you remember I told you that I had to leave you?"

"Yes…"

"Well the Shikon jewel had to become completed again so…Midoriko sent me back to the feudal era that's why I had to leave I didn't want to because I didn't want to leave you boys alone with your father…I know that I should have been a better mother, to you boys but I did my best…I just hope that both of you can forgive me."

"There is nothing to forgive mother you had to do your job…you are the protector of the jewel…"

"Sesshomaru's right…"

"I only wish for one thing from you boys…"

"What would that be mother?"

"I want you guys to act like brothers, you guys are big brothers, so I want you to act like it. I want you to protect your brothers and sister…"

"But mother Sesshomaru is my only brother."

"But tell me that you forgot about Shippo Inuyasha."

"Shippo?"

"Yes Sesshomaru the little fox kit…I adopted him before I came to the farther past…do you remember telling you about him?"

"Yea I do…but you said sister does that mean?"

"Yes Sesshomaru soon you are going to have a new sister."

"Does father know?"

"Not yet…I plan to tell him later on tonight."

"I better go I have to check up on Shippo…"

"We'll see you later mother."

"Goodbye my boys…and Sesshomaru?"

"Yes mother?"

"You should rest for a while."

"Okay."

"Inuyasha?"

"Yes?"

"Leave you brother alone to rest."

Kagome and Inuyasha left Sesshomaru's room so he could rest, when Kagome was walking through the halls she asked a servant where her pup was and they told her that he was in the garden with Rin. What seemed like the fifth time Kagome entered the garden Kagome spotted Shippo playing with a little girl. Kagome could only guess that she was Rin. When she walked up to them Shippo looked over to her and ran into her arms.

"Mommy."

"Hey baby are you doing a good boy?"

"Yea I am…mommy meet Rin."

"Hello pretty lady are you going to be Rin's mother?"

"Ummm…Rin can I ask you a question?"

"Sure."

"Rin who is your father?"

"I don't have a father, but Lord Sesshomaru is almost like my father."

"I see now I will answer you question…I can't be you mother because Sesshomaru is my son…so that would mean that you are my granddaughter."

"What is Shippo to me?"

"He is your uncle…like Inuyasha is you uncle too."

"Really?"

"Yup"

"Mommy?"

"Yes Shippo?"

"Does that mean that Inuyasha is my brother?"

"Yup…so why don't you children go bother him."

"Hehe Hehe…alright."

"Good children."

The children ran away and they headed to look for Inuyasha that gave Kagome was time to herself and some time to be with her friends before she went to go and see her mate. Kagome walked around the ground taking in all the smell of the flowers and every part of the garden. She heard a growling when she turned around Kagome was knocked down by a large dog. Kagome looked over at the dog she noticed that it was Diamond. Diamond started licking her face and he nuzzled his headed against Kagome's cheek.

Diamond had missed his mistress a lot and when he was walking outside he smelled a familiar scent that he lost hope of ever smelling again. When he saw her jumped on her and was glad that she was back. Kagome got up and Diamond followed they walked into the study. Everyone was in the study expect the children Shippo and Rin. Kagome was sitting on her mate's lap with Diamond in his small form in her lap, Sango was sitting by Miroku and Inuyasha and Sesshomaru were facing their parents.

"We are going to collect the rest of the shards."

"Yes we have to do it fast before Naraku does."

"No mother your not going." Inuyasha and Sesshomaru both said

"Why wouldn't you let your mother go?"

"Mother you didn't tell father?"

"Tell me what?"

"Ummm."

"Kagome?"

"Impregnant"

"What?"

"I'm Pregnant."

Inu-Tashio looked over at his mate he smiled and turned her around so she was facing him. His golden eyes sprinkled with happiness and joy that his mate was going him another child. He lowed his lips on her and they shared a passionate kiss everyone in the room looked into another direction. Miroku on the other hand had some perverted thoughts that her decided to grope Sango. The happy moment was ruined when a loud slap and pervert echoed in the room. Everyone looked at Sango and Miroku.

"Will you ever learn Miroku?"

"No Kagome he won't"

"Anyways…I am going to continue searching for the jewel shards and no one is going to stop me."

"I don't think so mate…you love are staying home while we go in search for the shards."

"I WILL NOT SIT BACK AND LET MY FAMILY DO MY JOB…I AM THE PROTECTOR OF THE SHIKON JEWEL. AND I WILL MAKE THE JEWEL WHOLE AGAIN."

"Kagome calm down love…"

"I WILL NOT UNTIL YOU ALL AGREE THAT I AM GOING."

"We all agree Kagome that you should come with us."

"Thank you Sango…now if you'll excuse me…"

Kagome got up off her mate's lap and walked out the door with a smirk on his face. Everyone looked at Kagome as she left the room, they had never seen Kagome act like that.

"What did you do to her?"

"What do you mean?"

"Kagome never acted like that."

"Oh that…you will get use to it for the next few months."

"What do you mean?"

"When she was pregnant with Inuyasha she did the same thing…we would have a silly argument and she would blow up until I gave in."

The group continued to discuss all their plans for traveling. When they finished discussing they went to the dinning room to have dinner. They all were fed cleaned all in their beds. Kagome was laying down in her bed beside her mate.

"Love?"

"Yes…"

"I want to go see my family on the other side of the well."

"Do you think that the well will let you?"

"I think so…but I don't want to go alone…"

"Inuyasha will accompany you…"

"Not just Inuyasha love, all my children and mate."

"RRRRR."

"And Diamond of course."

Diamond who was at the foot of the bed smirked at Kagome.

"Some times I believe that he missed me more then you did love."

"I would seem so…anyways will the well let all of us through?"

"I believe so…I want my family to meet all of you."

"We'll leave tomorrow, I will tell the children…"

"Goodnight…"

"Goodnight."

The morning light shined brightly throughout the whole Feudal era. Their was a lot of noise being made through out the castle, Kagome could only think that the servants were doing something that their lord wished to be done in a hurry. She got up and went to take a bath and get ready for the day. When she was done she headed down stairs to the kitchen to have something to eat. With her stomach full she walked through the halls looking for her mate and children. Shippo and Rin were in the gardens playing. She walked up to them and explained what they were going, little Rin started to cry beside she wasn't Kagome's child therefore she couldn't go with them. But after Kagome explained to the little girl that she was her granddaughter therefore she could go.

The two little ones went to their rooms to pack what little they had for the journey. Kagome next went in search of Inuyasha and Sesshomaru when she found them they were in the dojo training. When they noticed there mother was watching them they ended their training and went to pack as well. Kagome was beginning to think that her mate didn't inform anyone that they would be going to the future. She sighed and decided to see Inu-Tashio and find out what was going on. She walked over to the study and knocked when he told her to enter she did. Her mate was at the desk writing away he didn't look up at her yet, but she knew that he would stop writing soon.

"Kagome, what is it?"

"Did you forget?"

"Forget what?"

"That we were going to see my family?"

"No why?"

"Well did you forget to tell the children?"

"Ummm…"

"You did didn't you?"

"I'm sorry I did…I will go inform them now."

"That's not necessary…I have told them…they should be done by now…what are you doing?"

"Nothing important…are our belongings pack?"

"Yes I had Sora pack them already…come lets go…"

Inu-Tashio and Kagome left the study and walked out to the grounds. Inuyasha was with Shippo and Rin near Ah and Un. And Diamond was waiting so they could depart. Sesshomaru was talking to a guard and Sango and Miroku were near Kilala waiting to leave. Shippo and Rin sat on Ah and Un, Sesshomaru flew on his cloud with Inuyasha. Sango and Miroku rode on Kilala and Kagome rode on her mate which he changed into in Inu form and Diamond was on Kagome's shoulder.

They didn't take too long to get their about have a day, when they arrived at Keade's village she was preparing to make the evenings dinner. Sango and Miroku stay with Keade all the rest headed to the well. Everyone was a little nervous that they were going to go to Kagome's time. Inuyasha had been there many times but this time is was different beside this time he would be going as a son to see his grandmother, Uncle and Great Grandfather.

They looked at the well and decided that Kagome and Inu-Tashio and Diamond would go first, then Inuyasha with Shippo, then Sesshomaru and Rin. They each jumped into the well and were surround by blue light. When the passed through the well the night shy was gone and was placed with a roof. Now they knew that they were no longer in the feudal era. When everyone had pasted through Kagome told them a few rules and the headed to the main house. Kagome knew that her mother would be making dinner by now so she entered the kitchen.

"Mother."

"Kagome?"

Her mother ran over to her and hugged her, she began to cry they broke apart from each other and Her mother noticed that they had visitors.

"Kagome who are all these people?"

"Mom…this is Inu-Tashio…he is my husband, my mate…"

"It is a pleasure to meet you."

"But Kagome you are so young to have and husband and his so much older than you."

"Mom there is a long story that you have to know but I will tell you later…This is Sesshomaru my Son…"

"I'll glad I finally get to meet you…"

"You know Inuyasha mom…"

"What happened to his ears?"

"When he was born, he was born and full demon…"

"But…"

"Inuyasha is my second son and Shippo here is my third son…"

"Kagome….?"

"Little Rin is Sesshomaru's adopted Daughter, so she is my granddaughter and your Great Granddaughter."

"Mom…?"

Kagome's mom just looked at her daughter a few minutes before she fainted Inuyasha caught her before she fell on the floor. Inuyasha walked into the living room and placed her on the couch, Kagome sighed and went to get a cool cloth to place on her mother's head. When that was over she went back into the kitchen and finished to make dinner since her mother was out cold.

When dinner was ready everyone ate and Kagome showed where everyone would be sleeping. Kagome's mother was still out and Kagome was getting a little worried. Kagome had helped wash the children and put then to bed Sesshomaru and Inuyasha were in their rooms. Inu-Tashio sat down next to his mate and waited for her mother to wake. Her mother began to stir and looked around to see where she was.

"Kagome?"

"Yea mom."

"I had the weirdest dream…"

"Mom there is something I have to tell you…you better stay sitting on the couch…what I will tell you is a lot of information to progress…alright it started a few months ago when me and Inuyasha got into a fight…..

Kagome told her mother the whole story about her travel farther into time and meeting Inu-Tashio and how they become mates and everything. When her mother was told everything Kagome made some tea for her mother. They talked for a bit then they headed off to bed, Kagome knew it was hard for her mother to see that her little girl was no longer little but that was how the world worked.

The next morning Kagome and her mother explained to Souta and her grandfather everything. Souta was happy and amazed that his had nephews that were older than him. When everything were done and explained they headed to the mall, they each went to a store Inuyasha, Shippo and Rin went to the toy store, then the food store. Inu-Tashio went to the men's clothing store, Sesshomaru walked around the mall after his mother he didn't ready trust the males in the mall. Kagome held Sesshomaru's arms as they walked through the mall many people were looking at them and making comments. Many of the girls were jealous of Kagome, but she really didn't care what anyone thought.

They were walking towards the toy store to get Shippo, Rin and Inuyasha when Kagome heard someone calling out to her. When she turned around she saw Hojo coming towards her. Kagome tried to put on the best smile she could and waved at him. Sesshomaru couldn't help but growl at the male that was approaching them.

"Hi Kagome."

"Hi Hojo…"

"What happened to you?"

"Huh?"

"I heard from you family that you got married and moved away…"

"Yea I did…"

"Oh…is this your husband?"

"Sesshomaru? No his is my son…adopted son…my husband is around here some where."

"Really…but that means that he must be pushing over 40.…Kagome did you marry him because you need money? I could have always helped you?"

"Listen here…my mother is happily married to my father…leave now…if you ever bother my mother again I will come after you and kill you myself."

"Sesshomaru"

"I'm sorry mother but it had to be said…I will not allow anyone to come and take you away from us again."

"I understand Sesshomaru, but you didn't have to sound rude sweetheart. Hojo I think you should leave."

"Kagome you should have to deal with this come with me and we will go to the police I know that they threatened you life…you could be free…come…"

"Hojo you don't know what you are talking about."

"Yes I do…you husband is in the mob and he threatened to kill you if you didn't marry him…don't worry the police will deal with it."

Hojo pulled Kagome to him but Kagome pulled herself back she was getting mad that Hojo didn't understand anything. He was so stupid…she was about to scream when she saw her mate coming towards them and he looked pissed.

"What's going on here?"

"Nothing…my friend would listen to me…"

"Unhand her…"

"Who are you to tell me what to do?"

"I am her husband that's who."

Hojo's face paled he didn't know what he should do…he let go of Kagome and backed up a bit. He looked over to the man that claimed to be Kagome's Husband he looked around early thirty, but didn't look too old. Hojo was a scared he didn't know what to do so he turned and ran from them. Inu-Tashio looked at his mate and son.

"What happened?"

"Nothing…that boy I used to go to school with him…he had a crush on me but I never liked him…he was to stupid to understand I was married and he wouldn't leave me alone."

"I think that we should leave…"

"We were going to get the children then to find you…I'm too tried, I want to rest my feet."

"Lets get the children then."

The three walked to the toy store the children were playing with the toys and Inuyasha was playing with the video games. Kagome gathered the children and they all headed home, they children were tried from their trip Kagome gave them baths and send them to bed after they ate. Kagome couldn't help but think that her life was prefect. She had a loving mate, three wonderful children soon to be four, an adorable granddaughter. All she needed to do now was kill Naraku and complete the Shikon jewel.

In the morning the group decided that it was best if they return home, Kagome told her mother that so couldn't come back and forth all the time because she wasn't sure if the well would continue to allow her to. Her mother wished that she could be able to see her granddaughter when she was born but Kagome told her that in 500 years for Kagome they would be able to see each other again. They went to the well house and jumped in they got to the other side of the well and went to Keade's village. Sango and Miroku were outside the hut, Sango was cleaning her weapon and Miroku was watching her. The group were welcomed by the two, Keade made tea for the whole group and they rested before they had to begin their journey.

"How was the trip?"

"We and Rin went to the toy store….mommy brought us some toys…Rin got a doll and I got car."

"Really?"

"Yup"

"The trip was okay Sango…I finally got to see my family after five six years without seeing them. Well I think that we rested long enough don't you?"

"Yup" they all shouted

The group grabbed their weapons and headed out to search for the rest of the shards. They had found five shards, many of the demons would looked at Inu-Tashio and they would get hand over the jewels because they didn't want to be kill by the great lord of the west. The group were looking to find a nice stop to step up camp, they found the perfect stop near a river. Kagome knew that Kikyo was near by so she excused herself and headed to the direction that Kikyo was in. Inu-Tashio knew what his mate was doing he followed her in case they was trouble. When Kagome entered the clearing Kikyo was sitting by a tree she looked like she was sleeping but Kagome knew better. When Kagome was about five feet away from Kikyo she opened her eyes and looked over to Kagome.

"What are you doing here?"

"I came to see you?"

"Why so you could tell me that you and Inuyasha have mated?"

"No Kikyo…I wanted to know if you could have a second chance to live you life with Inuyasha would you?"

"What kind of question is that?"

"It's a simple question Kikyo…I just want the answer to it."

"If I could have a second chance then….I would take it…I love Inuyasha…but we could never be I share my soul with you…"

"That Kikyo is the answer I wanted to hear…."

Kagome closed her eyes and her body began to glowed purple and she began to chant.

"What was wrongly taken, be placed back, given a chance, given a love, what is now empty become whole. My soul that I call, hear my plead, give her the soul that was taken and what was taken be given…let her become whole once again."

As Kagome continued to chant pink light surrounded Kikyo giving her a soul, when it was over Kikyo was whole again and Kagome looked over to Kikyo and smiled. Kagome walked over to Kikyo, Kikyo looked down on the floor and kneeled before Kagome.

"Kikyo what are you doing?"

"I'm Sorry that I have wronged you…you never desired to be treated badly."

"Rise Kikyo…come…we should go back to camp now."

"What?"

"You will join our group, will you not?"

"Of course I would be honoured."
