Gift From Above

Kaede walked quietly to her village with kagome snug in her arms. She entered her hut and made a makeshift bed for the child. "Here you will sleep until I can make you a true bed," kaede whispered. She laid Kagome on the blankets and wrapped her up to keep her warm. She then went over to her own bed and knelt before it. She prayed for strength she prayed for Kagome and her parents. She then laid down and fell asleep.

Lady Suki watch from the heaven's as kaede did her nightly prayer. She looked upon her daughters face and let one tear slide down her cheek. A finger then wiped that tear away. "Do not cry my love for she is safe and she will return," Lord Shouten said and wrapped his arms around his mate. "I do not wish to worry, but do as any parent would," Suki replied. "Yes, I have a surprise for my daughter and wish for you to see before I send it to her," Lord Shouten said. "Then show me the gift," Lady Suki replied. Lord Shouten then left and returned with a small ball of silver and black fur in his hand. "I have her a young fire cat I had rescued the day before my young Kagome was born."Lord Shouten smiled. " I thought that they no longer existed." Lady Suki exclaimed. "This is the only remaining neko I have ever seen my love, and this is th gift I will send our daughter. A companion and a protector." Lord Shouten said. The neko cat then moved to look at Suki and what she saw amazed her. The neko cat was silver with to black ears it had a silver tail with a black tip and his paws were black, but his eyes captured her the most. They were a sapphire blue, It also had a sapphire blue diamond on his forehead. Lady Suki cheerful wrapped her arms around her mate and whispered thank you in his ear over and over again. "May I send a gift with the neko?" Lady Suki asked her mate. "Of course my love."Lord Shouten replied. Lady Suki quickly ran from the room to return with something enclosed her pale hand. She then held out her hand towards her mate and opened her hand to reveal a silver necklace with a crimson red crescent moon. "Give her this necklace it was given me by the Lord of the West many years ago when I still lived in the mortal world, if she ever run into them it will protector maybe even she will find her love in the west." Lady Suki said as Lord Shouten delicately pick up the necklace from his mates hand and place it around the neko's neck securely. "Come it is late soon it will bright out we shall send the neko and it will reach Kagome when she wakes."Lord Shouten said holding out his hand for his mate to take it and join him in sending their daughter their gift.

Kagome had awaken to the face of a neko cat she laughed and gurgled at it. Kaede been awakened by kagome's laughter and smiled at what she saw a very rare fire cat demon watching over the young girl. Kaede smiled and looked out the window, "Thank you now she will have a true friend." Kaede began her morning duties and was getting ready to harvest food for winter was creeping in on the soon. Kagome and the neko fell asleep curled up next to each other without a care in the world.

Lord Shouten and Lady Suki smiled down at the daughter from above and left to sleep and do there duties as lord and lady of the land. Naraku at his palace was frustrated with the disappearance of the child's aura. He flung glass vases around the room and punished all whom dared to enter his presence. His servant the wind witch Kagura entered the room. "You called for me my lord?" Naraku looked at Kagura with his Blood red eyes, "You are to go to the world of the mortals and find the daughter of Lady Suki and Lord Shouten and then report back." Kagura displeased by her task of finding the child but was pleased to leave his presence bowed and left for the gate between worlds. Naraku began to plan for his domination of the worlds once he had acquired the child.
