Mother
There was a long silence before her Father spoke. "Rise" he commanded. Kagome had never looked so small, she stood looking up at her Father but there wasn't any of the relief or love in his gaze, just an empty look.
"Kagome, you brought the two fang King and Prince into our realm" he stated not asked.
"Yes, Father" Kagome said. "Lord Sesshomaru and Lady Rin, the King and Queen of the vampire clan, and Inuyasha the Prince and younger brother of Lord Sesshomaru"
They all came forwards and bowed respectfully.
The king stood "Greetings, I am Naraku, King of the Silverbloods. Why have you come here?" he said calmly.
Sesshomaru answered "We have come to arrange peace"
Kagome's siblings murmured amongst themselves. Naraku glared to shut them up. "You ask much, you kidnapped my daughter" her said coldly.
"No Father!" Kagome said "I wasn't kidnapped I ran away" her eyes glowed as she showed her Father the truth.
Naraku looked down at her "Why?" he commanded her to explain herself.
Inuyasha could see how Kagome had not wanted to come here, her Father was cold as ice and hollow like ha didn't have a heart (lol). "She hated being treated like she was going to die" Inuyasha answered for her.
Naraku looked at Inuyasha for a long time. "Kagome, why are you wearing a ring?" he asked her.
Kagome plucked up her courage and said "Because Inuyasha asked me to marry him"
There was gasp from everyone but the eldest brother and sister. Naraku looked furious. "What!" he bellowed.
Kagome flinched but shouted back at him "He asked me and I love him! I we came here to end this war so we could be together! Father, please! For once in your life listen to me!" she practically screamed at him.
Naraku's eyes widened and he sat down. "Come here" he ordered in his quiet voice.
Kagome climbed the steps and stood in front of her Father. He placed his hands on her head and his eyes glowed silver. They stayed like that for a long time.
When he dropped his hands she asked him hopefully "Do you understand now?"
He didn't respond. "I think before I decide that I should ask your siblings too, as they are no doubt going to be involved" Kagome nodded and walked back to Inuyasha, he put his arm around her shoulder and whispered comforting words in her ear.
Naraku looked at the person in the smallest throne. "Kaede, your thoughts?"
The little girl was dressed in a light green child's kimono she had a patch over her right eye that was a silver-green band with a left covering her eye. She had a brown eye with brownish hair and lightly tanned skin. She held a silver plant sprig and looked about five.
She stood up and said in her formal child's voice "I am Kaede of the phantom vines that guard this castle. I think that if they love each other as much as they say that they should get married." She glanced at her Father and ran at Kagome to hug her. "I missed you" she said into Kagome's shirt.
Naraku cleared his throat and Kaede sat back down.
The next stood up. He was a little boy with red hair and a blue kimono on that matched his blue eyes. He smiled really wide so you could see all his teeth. "I am Shippo of the silver fire" he said and to prove it cupped his hands to show his power.
"I agree with my twin, I want Kagome to be happy because she isn't happy here where everyone thinks she will die" Kagome gave him a hug too before the next stood up.
It was a girl again, she had white hair and a white dress with black eyes, she held a mirror in her dainty hands. She looked about ten.
"I am Kanna of the looking glass. I remember Mama saying that we should be free to make our own choices. If my sister wishes to marry Inuyasha then who are we to argue" she said that with as little emotion as her Father.
A boy stood up next he was about eleven or twelve. He had brown hair and brown eyes like Kagome's and he had a fat cat by his feet. "I am Sota the animal master. I think that as long as Inuyasha promises to protect and love our sister forever then we have no reason to stop this" he flashed Kagome a grin that was all fox and his cat entwined himself around Sota's legs.
Inuyasha nodded at Sota and the boy sat back down satisfied with Inuyasha's response.
Kagura stood up next with her arms crossed. "I don't know why you are so against this, Dad. If this damn war is over then I will be free to travel where I wish, Kagome do you love this two fang?" she asked bluntly.
Kagome blinked then nodded.
Kagura hurried on "Inuyasha do you love my sister?" she demanded.
"Yes" he responded.
Kagura made a satisfied noise. "Then I do not see why we are having this discussion" she sat down and crossed her arms again.
"Kagura" Naraku said quietly. "You do realise that if Kagome marries the two fang that she will be ineligible to rule this kingdom, so you would have to in her place"
Kagura growled "You think I don't know that?" she shouted at him. "It's only for six years then I'll be gone. I can manage being the goody two shoes for six years"
Naraku looked disappointed like he wanted her to vote against this idea. "Byakuya?" he asked at last.
Byakuya sighed and didn't bother to stand like his siblings. "I do not wish to fight battles against the vampires all my life like all the Kings before me, I have other reasons for wanting this war gone but none are relevant to this meeting. Let them be together."
Naraku looked almost betrayed by all his sons and daughters. He stood up and said "It seems I am out numbered. I do not like this idea one bit, I do not trust you to protect her. Especially since you are one of the creatures that was foretold to kill Kagome"
Kagome and Inuyasha stiffened. "Do not deny it two fang. You were planning to change her"
Kagome glance at him and he nodded. "If that is what she wants then I will change her, but if she wants to remain a Silverblood forever then I will let her be" Inuyasha said truthfully.
Kagome smiled, in truth she wanted to be a vampire so she wouldn't be trapped in this place anymore.
Naraku's eyes narrowed. "Well if there was some way to be sure that you wouldn't break your word then I would say yes, but unfortunately-"
"Father" a voice interrupted.
Naraku turned angrily to his eldest son. Byakuya walked down to his Dad and gave him a photo. It was a picture of him with a vampire girl with brown eyes and long ebony hair that was tied back in Silverblood style.
Naraku looked angry "What is this?" he demanded.
Byakuya didn't even flinch at his Father's tone. "This is my other reason for wanting this war gone. That's Kikyo"
Inuyasha blinked "My cousin?"
Byakuya nodded "We've been seeing each other for years, but there was no way for us to be together. If Kagome lives with Inuyasha and Kikyo agrees to live here we can't hurt each other because we would be hurting family"
Kagome was surprised but then it made sense because Byakuya had been sneaking out a lot before she ran away.
Naraku sighed in defeat. "I'm beaten" he turned to Kagome. "Are you sure that this is what you want?" he asked her.
Kagome nodded and Naraku sighed again then turned to Sesshomaru "I think we have a lot of things to talk about"
Sesshomaru nodded and Rin and him left the room to talk about then ending of the war. As soon as their Father was out of the room all of Kagome's family ran to hug her.
"Oh, Kaede, Shippo, Kanna, Sota, I missed you all so much" Kagome cried getting on her knees to hug them all.
Shippo and Kaede were bawling. "Kagome, we were so scared" Shippo cried clinging to her left arm.
Kaede clung to her left arm and cried "I thought you were never coming back!"
Kagome kissed them both on the foreheads "I'm here now, you don't need to cry."
Kanna was hugging Kagome from behind, Sota held her hand and she squeezed back. "Kagome, who is your boyfriend?" he asked and that question brought everyone's eyes to Inuyasha, who had been smiling at the happy reunion.
Kagome held her free hand out to him and then she dragged him down into the circle of children. "This is Inuyasha, don't worry he won't bite" she told the frightened Kaede.
"Speak for yourself" Inuyasha said and the rest of the day was spend playing together in the garden. The children soon lost their fear of Inuyasha and Kanna was brave enough to touch his fangs and then they pretended to be vampire hunters.
Kagome laughed as all her younger siblings dog piled Inuyasha after Kaede had used her vines to tip him.
Inuyasha had amused them no end by using his vampire powers to hypnotise a chosen person then letting the others control them for two minutes.
Kagome had scolded him for doing that to the twins but he got his own back when she looked too long into his eyes and he made her kiss him for two whole minutes in a hidden corner of the palace. She had woken up to find two scratch marks on her neck, he promised her to never do that again because he had nearly lost control and bit her.
Sota showed off his new bird tricks and Kanna used her mirror to split light and to talk to people far away. Kagome had all her siblings powers and it seemed that she learned as they did, the more advanced one got so did she. Her own powers were healing.
Byakuya and Kagura saw Kagome's neck and pulled Inuyasha onto a corner while the others were busy.
"Hey, Inuyasha" Byakuya said in his even voice, "Look after Kagome, kay?"
"Because" Kagura continued smiling "If you don't you'll have us to deal with"
Inuyasha gave his word and Kagura went back to playing with Kaede. Byakuya and Inuyasha talked about anything and everything because they got along well.
When the sun set the Silverbloods pulled Inuyasha up to the tallest tower in the castle.
"Come on Inuyasha!" the young twins called dragging a hand each, he looked at Kagome, she was running up the stairs with Kanna and Sota and they all seemed really excited.
"What is happening?" he asked the little ones.
They laughed and Kagura said "It's a full moon tonight, it's a very special time for us Silverbloods" and she flew up on her feather with Byakuya right on her tail.
When they got to the top they were in a circular room that was filled with flowers and paintings. They all crowded around the huge window and looked out to the sea.
The full moon saw raising out from the black abyss. Inuyasha looked at Kagome, she closed her eyes and transformed into her true form.
All her brothers and sisters did the same, they all had silver skin and white hair the only thing that was individual about their forms was there eye colour.
Kagome's were a silver blue, Kaede's were silver green, Shippo's were a silver orange like fire, Kanna's had turned snow white like her hair, Byakuya had slivery red eyes and Kagura had a silvery purple tint.
Kagome held Inuyasha's hand and all that she was feeling when the moonlight touched her he could feel too.
It was an energy rush like no other, it was as if the moon was giving them power.
Kagome reached a hand out to the moon and her ring sparkled. "Mother" Kagome said quietly. As soon as the moon had risen high in the sky did the Silverbloods turn back to normal.
As soon as Kagome had finished tucking her younger brothers and sisters into bed did Inuyasha as her about it.
"What happened to the ring I gave you?" he asked.
Kagome took him back to the top of the tower and pointed to a large painting. "That's my Mother" she told him. Her mother was very pretty and he could see a lot of resemblance between the mother and daughter.
"At the full moon we can communicate with her because her powers were in tune with the swing of the moon. She told me that she loved and that she was glad that I had finally found happiness"
Inuyasha looked back at the painting in awe.
"I really miss her" Kagome said. Inuyasha held her close and kissed her lips softly before going to bed.
Naraku stood on his balcony and saw his daughter and the vampire walking to her room. He looked up at the full moon and asked silently Well, my dear, what do I do now? I've tried to keep her from this fate, I really have, but...
He heard his wife's musical laugh and he heard her say Let them be, dearest. Believe that love is possible and let go of your hatred for the vampires.
Naraku closed his eyes and gave a small half laugh Correct as always, my dear. He straightened up and walked back to his room he pulled out a photo of his wife and said "Kagome is a responsible woman now, she must make her own choices and learn from her mistakes. And I must finally tell her the truth"
