Chapter 23

Sesshoumaru's POV

I watch Kagome in battle, I watch as her eyes close an she starts to fall backwards towards the ground but she never reaches the ground.

Her eyes snap open, a bright pink light surrounds her and she starts floating in mid air. My Father, Sango and Miroku kill the rest of the demons off and everyone freezes in place and watches Kagome as she is surrounded by her Miko Powers.

Kagome's POV

I feel myself floating, I feel nothing at all. Soon a field appears in front of my eyes. I look around and find a woman that I have only seen in portraits before standing in front of me, Midoriko.

I gasp because I can't believe it, Midoriko is supost to be dead, but wait, does that mean that I am dead.

"Midoriko, what are you doing here? Am I dead?" I ask.

She walks closer to me, smiling." No Kagome, you are far from dead. I brought you here. To a depth of your mind. You Miko Powers are in control right now." She says.

She stops not far from me. "Why am I hear?"

"Runi is far more powerful then you can imagine. She is mad as hell that you mated with Sesshoumaru and not her."

"Ya I can kinda tell she's mad. But what can I do to get her to leave?"

"She is never going to leave. But there is a way to teach her a lesson that you are just as powerful, if not more powerful then her."

"How can I do that Midoriko?"

"Use your full power, that is the only way you can show her."

"But Midoriko, I don't even know how to tap into the full extent of my Miko powers."

"Do not worry Kagome, I am going to help you through every minute of this battle ahead."

"But what about everyone else?"

"Do not worry about them. They can all take care of themselves."

"Okay."

"I am going to send you back. I will be right beside you. Helping you with your miko powers."

"Okay, I will do my best."

"Do me proud."

"I will try.

Midoriko disappears and soon I am floating in darkness again. I soon start to wake up, I am floating in mid air in front of Runi. I can feel my Miko powers surrounding me, I can feel more of my powers coming out, more then ever before.

I can feel Midoriko helping me control my Miko powers. I can see just how shocked Runi is, I can't help but smirk, lets just let her try to take Sesshoumaru from me now.

"Are you scarred now Runi?" I ask with a Little bit of sarcasm in my voice.

The shocked look stays on her face as she speaks.

"I am not scarred of you, Miko." She says.

"Wrong answer."

I send a huge wave of Miko powers at Runi, Naraku and everyone else. Runi flys backwards into a tree, Naraku's newest incarnation is purified instantly.I hear Naraku's evil laughter.

' Gather all of your energy into a ball, it will not kill him but it will be close. I hear Midoriko's voice in my head.

I do exactly that and send a huge ball of my Miko energy at Naraku, Kagura, Kanna and Haudoishi. The attack makes them all tumble backwards.

Withing a few minutes a huge cloud of miasma surrounds them and they disappeared leaving Runi here all by herself. I turn my full attention on Runi with a knowing smirk on my face. She is leaning up against a tree, trying to stay upwards.

"Ready to give up yet Runi? Your help has fled, leaving you all lone." I say.

"You may have won this battle, Kagome. But I promise you, I will be back." She says.

As fast as lightening Runi has taken off. I close my eyes, I pull my Miko powers back into my body. I feel really faint, I can feel myself falling backwards and I am waiting for my body to hit the ground, but it never comes.

I open my eyes up tiredly and find myself in the loving arms of my mate Sesshoumaru. I try to give him a happy smile but I am so drained of energy I can't. I see the distrait look on his face.

"Are you ok, Kagome?" He asks, I detect a small bit of worry in his voice.

"I am ok. But I used to much of my energy and I am really tired." I sat in a very tired tone.

"I will take you up to our room love so that you may rest."

"Thank you."

"Hn."

I close my eyes as Sesshoumaru carrys me across the courtyard, into the castle and through out the many halls till he makes it to our room.

He walks over to our bed and sets me down on it, I stand up, very unstable and change out of my very dirty clothes. Sesshoumaru is kind enough to get me a pair of my Pj's and a tip, he hands it to me and I put them on.

I lay down in bed, Sesshoumaru surprises me by leaning down and captures my lips in a soft, tender kiss. I love these kisses Sesshoumaru gives me. When we pulls back he gives me his one of a kind smile that only I am allowed to see.

"Get some rest Kagome. I will be back later to wake you up for supper." He says.

"Okay Sesshoumaru. Thanks darling." I replays back with a smile.

"Bye Love."

He then leaves our room, pulling the door shut behind him. I cuddle down into ou bed, within a few minutes I am asleep.

Sesshoumaru's POV

After leaving Kagome to get some rest, I walk across the hall to Rin's room where I can hear Rin's Shippo's and my Mother's voices coming room. I open her door and step into her room and find them all sitting on Rin's bed, my Mother is in the middle of them with a book in her hands reading it to them.

I can see that Rin and Shippo are both falling asleep from the story. My Mother smiles at me, then goes back to reading the book.

I just stand and lead against the door frame and watch my Mom bonding with them over a book I heard her call ' Marry Poppins.'. It must be a book Kagome brought them from her time.

After about 20 minutes my Mom closes the book quietly and jumps out of bed quickly, so as not to wake Rin and Shippo, who are asleep.

She walks over to me, we walk out of Rin's room so we wouldn't disturb them, I slide her door shut quietly. I look at my Mother, almost eye to eye, since she is almost as tall as am.

"I see that you are bonding with Rin and Shippo, Mother." I say.

"Yes I am. I needed to keep them from wondering, with the battle going on. Plus they are my Grandchildren Sesshoumaru." She says.

"Truth betold Mother. I had hoped that if you ever had been alive you would act like this."

"How else would I treat my Grandchildren?"

"Well Rin is a human, Shippo is a fox demon. And most of all Kagome is a human."

"Yes it is hard to get used to. But I am not going to shun my Grandchildren and my Sons Mate."

"Okay Mother."

"Where is Kagome at?"

"She is our room taking a much needed nap. She used a lot of her Miko Powers in the battle."

"Good. She needs her rest. You should also take a nap with her Sesshoumaru."

"I am not tired Mother."

"I don't care Sesshoumaru. You need your rest."

I roll my eyes, my Mother always was like this. "Fine Mother."

She smiles. "Good, while you two nap I am going to go check on everyone else."

"Ok Mother. See you later."

"Have a nice nap Sesshoumaru."

"Hn."

My Mother walks down the hall, my Mother can be so bossy sometimes it is very annoying. I walk across the hall, I slide our door open and walk in.

I undress out of my clothes, I climb into bed beside my sleeping beauty. I wrap my arm around her, I pull her back against my chest. I nuzzle her hair, I close my eyes. I let my breathing slow down. I am soon asleep.

Sesshoumaru's Mother Jen's POV

I leave Sesshoumaru to get some rest with his new mate. Truthfully when I found out that Sesshoumaru was going to be mating some human, I was mad.

I have forgiven Inutaisho, I always have loved him. But when I meant Kagome and found out she is a powerful Miko, I wasn't mad. I know that she will be able to produce strong heirs for my I meant Rin and Shippo, they stole my heart away, they are just so sweet and adorable.

I head from the main hall to the infirmary. There I find all the men a long with the Demon slower who are getting treated for minor wounds. I smile and walk over to Inutaisho and set down beside him.

"How is Sesshoumaru, dear?" He asks.

" I sent him to bed with Kagome. He needs his rest." I say.

"I agree with you. I imagine they are both very tired. Especially Kagome, she used up a lot of energy."

"Yes she did."

The two of us then get up and walk out of the infirmary, there is a lot of stuff we need to talk about so we head up to our room.

We set on our bed, planning to talk, but by one kiss it leads to other things and we don't end up talking much. We end up doing stuff that e would rather not walk about since some would sat we are to old.

Hi everyone, Okay only 2 chapters left till the end. Kagome has a nightmare while sleeping about Naraku. As much as Sesshoumaru trys he can not calm her nerves. With Runi still on the lose, who knows what will happen next. Please review review review.
