Chapter 4

I open my eyes up; all I remember before blacking out was my father holding me. I just can't get over the fact that my father is alive and has been here in the Feudal Era all this time without me knowing it. I look around; I notice right away that I am in Kaede's hut. They must have brought me back here when I blacked out.

"I see ye are awake, Kagome." I hear Kaede say.

I look beside me and find Kaede kneeling there. I smile at her. "How long have I been out, Kaede?" I ask.

"Only a few hours child. We were surprised when Lord Karo was holding you."

"Lord Karo's my father Kaede."

"I know that child."

Now it's my turn to be confused, Kaede must realize it for she smiles at me.

"Child, I am a friend of your family's. Your mother asked me to watch over you because she knew you would one day travel through the well back to your true home."

"My mother never told me that."

"Child, she is only telling you a bit at a time. It is a lot to take in all at once."

"Kaede, I do have one question for you."

"Go ahead."

"Since I am the princess of the Northern Lands, I can't be the reincarnation of Kikyou."

"No, you are not the reincarnation of my sister. You are a demon/Miko."

"What does that mean, Kaede?"

"You are a full blooded Snow Inu but since your mother's father is a Priest, you also have Miko powers running through you blood."

"Okay."

"Do ye feel well enough to get up?"

"Yeah I do Kaede."

I stand up off of the mat that I was laying on. I walk with Kaede out of her hut. There we find Sango, Miroku, my mother, Souta, my Grandpa, and my father.

"Father." I say as if it is the first time I have.

He turns to me from talking to my mother. He smiles at me and I feel like I have known that smile all my life, even though I haven't seen my father since I was 5 years old.

"Kagome." He says.

I can't hold them back; I let out tears of joy and run to my father. I jump up, wrap my arms around his neck like a little girl and hug him like there is no tomorrow. He wraps his arms around me to hold me up as he hugs me back.

"Oh Daddy, I have missed you so much!" I cry out.

"I have missed you to Baby girl." He says.

I can tell in his voice that he is trying desperately not to cry. After a few moments he sets me down but I cling to his side, to afraid to let him go for fear of never seeing him again.

My mother smiles at me. "How are you feeling Dear? You had us all quit worried." She says in a caring tone.

"I am sorry for scaring you guys. I feel fine Mom." I say.

"Good."

I look up at my dad with a smile on my face. "Dad, can I talk to you for a little bit?" I ask.

"Sure sweetheart." He says with a smile on his face.

I take his hand and lead him out of the village; the only place I know that is private enough for us to talk would be by the well. When we get near the well we stop and I turn around towards my father.

"Dad, Mom told me about the war." I say.

"How much did your mother tell you sweetie?" He asks.

"Not much, just that, that's the reason why we had to go to the future to stay safe."

"Well there is much more."

"What do you mean?"

"Why don't we sit down sweetie? There is a lot to talk about."

"Okay."

We go over to a tall maple tree and sit down at the base, in the shade. I look up at my father and he looks back down at me with a stern look on his face.

"Kagome, there is another reason why you all went to the future and why this war was started."

"I'm listening."

"The Eastern Wolf prince Kouga desired you as a mate even at a young age. When I had told his father that you were already in an arranged marriage with Prince Sesshoumaru, he got mad and said he was taking me to war."

"Wait Dad, I am a friend with Kouga."

"I know sweet heart. But the prince does not know it's you."

"So is that why he is always coming after me."

"Yes, you remind him of the love he had."

"He is going to be mad when he finds out."

"Yes he will be. That's why you will need to be with Sesshoumaru before the prince finds out and comes after you."

"Yeah about that."

"There is not buts young lady. You will be mating Lord Sesshoumaru."

"But Dad, he hates me."

"He doesn't hate you. He doesn't know it is you. Once he finds out, he will be thrilled."

"You think so?"

"I know so. You two were so much in love at such a young age. I just want you two to be happy."

"Thanks Dad."

"You're welcome sweetheart."

After a long pregnant pause I say. "We should head back to the village."

"Okay."

We get up and start walking back to the village. After a few minutes of walking we make it into the village. No one is outside so we walk into Kaede's hut where we find everyone. By the looks of it my mother and Kaede are making something for us all to eat. I go over and sit down between Sango and Miroku. My father goes over to sit beside Souta and they start to talk.

"So Kagome, how does it feel to be a demon?" Sango asks me.

"It's different. I can't wait to learn my powers." I say. "But you know what my father told me?"

"What?"

"That since my Grandpa is a priest that's how I got my Miko powers."

"Wow."

I turn my head towards Miroku, whose hand that's nearest to me I don't see until it's too late. Instead of screaming ' Pervert.' I take my right hand and hit him over the head enough to knock him out. Everyone looks at me with weird looks on their faces, but then Sango and Kaede start laughing then the whole hut erupts in laughs. I smile as I look around.

'This is my new life.'
