Disclaimer- Even if I wanted to I could never own Inuyasha. The Fates made it that way. On to the next chapter...
(~*~*~*~*~*~)
Sesshoumaru opened his eyes to see that it was morning. He looked around to see that he was not in his room but the room he had let Kagome borrow. He looked down in front of him when he felt something move and stopped. Sesshoumaru felt his heart freeze when he seen that Kagome was curled up next to him. Her head was on his chest and her arm around his waist. He was grateful that he still had his clothes on.
Slowly as not to wake the girl up he moved her arm and raised up from the bed. As he stood there he watched her curl in a little ball since the warmth of his body vanished. Sesshoumaru smiled as he made his way to his room. He needed to bath, change and speak with his brother. He dreaded speaking to Inuyasha because he knew that his brother was in love with the older miko. Sesshoumaru smirked at how quick Inuyasha fell for the girl but then again if your beast picked a woman it was best to go along or end up mentally drained. Shaking his head he grabbed his bathroom supplies and headed to his private spring.
Kagome(Dreaming)
Kagome opened her eyes only to see that she was not in a room of any kind but she was standing on a beach with the ocean slapping against her feet. She shivered but not because of the weather but she felt something calling her name. Kagome squinted her eyes as she tried to make out the form that was coming closer. She rubbed her eyes and when she opened them she seen the most beautiful woman she had ever layed eyes on. The woman walked up to Kagome and stopped in front of her. She wore a sweet smiled. Her hair was like the suns rays, golden with silver streaks. Her eyes were a deep blue. She was also as pale as snow that had freshly fallen. Kagome was unable to speak when she noticed that the woman had silver wings that were folded behind her. At closer look Kagome noticed that the tips of the feathers were golden. Kagome was pulled back to the woman when she spoke.
"How I have missed you, my child." She said as she walked over and sweep Kagome into a gentle hug.
"Um..." Kagome couldn't form any words. The woman chuckled and pulled back. Taking Kagome by the arm she led her over to a bench that just appeared. Kagome looked around and seen that there were flowers of every kind plus some she had never seen.
"Now Kagome." The woman stated. "My name is Marisha-Ten. Do you know who I am?" Marisha asked as she turned towards Kagome who had a surprised look on her face.
"Y-Your the Queen of Heaven. The Goddess of Light, Sun and Moon." Kagome gasped as Marisha smiled and nodded.
"That is correct." Marisha praised. "...and you are my creation. I made your soul and gave it to a woman to bare. When you came back into the Feudal Era your destiny began. You were correct in the thought that I had sent you back to change the two lords fate. However, things are moving faster than I had thought. Naraku knows who you are and is getting ready to attack in the next day. If you do not want meaningless deaths you must lead him away from the castle and the people who dwell in the walls." Kagome didn't know what she should do. They had a plan but it would take more than a day to get into position. She looked at the Marisha and narrowed her eyes.
"How do I know that you are who you say you are?" Kagome asked. She knew that if she was a kami that she would understand her for being cautious. Marisha giggled as she looked upon Kagome firm face.
"Oh dear. You are much like me." Marisha took a breath to calm herself. "I will show you your final transformation. I was only able to met you once your true power was released. Now will you please stand in front of me. Face to Face if you would." Marisha asked as she stood. Kagome took a deep breath and stood and walked in front of Marisha. She felt a warm feeling embrace her once she stood in front of her maker. Kagome smiled when she looked up to the goddess and seen that she was smiling warmly. When she nodded Kagome closed her eyes.
Sesshoumaru
He was just getting ready to head out into the hall when he felt an enormous pure aura fill the room where Kagome was still sleeping. Feeling his heart race he ran to the door and flung it open. When he stepped in Sesshoumaru had to shield his eyes from the brightness of the aura that Kagome was emitting. He also felt as two other auras joined him in his room.
"What the HELL!" Inuyasha yelled as he seen his best friend floating with a glowing woman's figure standing in front of her with the woman's arms out stretched in front of her. He was about to rush the woman when he felt Kikyo's hand on his shoulder. He turned to look at her and noticed that her eyes were wide in awe. He glanced at his brother and noticed that his brother had the same look on his static face. Shaking his head he turned his attention back to the woman and froze. She was now looking at them. Inuyasha gulped and took a step back, not knowing why.
Sesshoumaru could not believe his eyes. The Queen of Heaven was standing before him. His eyes widen as he took in Kagomes appearance. She now had hair the color of the sun. She had golden stripes along her shoulders, wrists, ankles and he would imagine along her waist as well. He let his eyes travel to her forehead and he seen that her marking was like his but around the golden moon was a silver sun. The outfit she wore was a sleeveless kimono. The pants were cut off at the calf of her legs. He swallowed as he turned his attention to his brother who was staring at the goddess with a shocked look. The next thing he knew his brother froze as well as the other miko who was standing behind him in silence.
"What have you done?" Sesshoumaru hissed at the goddess as he glared back at her. He moved in front of his brother and his brothers mate to be. Marisha laughed at the antics of the demon lord. She had seen the slow change with his heart from the first moment that Kagome had entered his world.
"I have done what was needed." Marisha turned and lowered her daughter to the bed then returned her attention to the lord. "Kagome is special beyond any words. I was the one who gave her soul sustenance. I was the who allowed her to be born. In right she is my daughter." Sesshoumaru couldn't believe his ears. Kagome was a daughter of a kami. Not born but made. He had to shake his head to try to understand why that this woman was given to him. He looked back with a confused look. He had no idea what to do or where to go. For the first time, Lord Sesshoumaru; Great Dog Demon Lord of the West, was at a lost.
Marisha smiled and waved her hand over the other two that way they could hear what was to come next. She smiled softly when Inuyasha stared at her from behind his brothers back. Kikyo however ran to her cousins side. She kept one eye on the goddess but most of her attention was on her cousin and the way she now looked. Kikyo stood up and moved to position herself between Kagome and the goddess.
"What is the meaning of this?" Kikyo hissed with confusion as well as anger. "If you are who you say you are then you know well that I am the one who will care for her. Not one of the Kamis, Marisha-Ten." She glanced over her shoulder at her sleeping cousin.
Marisha smirked at the spunk of the older miko. She was finally able to see her purpose of her life. "Very well. Since you wish to protect My Fallen Angel of Heaven then you shall be her Guardian." Marisha closed her eyes and let her light surround the older miko.
Inuyasha was about to lunge at the so called goddess when his brother held him back. "What..." Was the only word that he was able to say when he noticed that Kikyo had also transformed. His eyes widen at the sight of Kikyo now looking like the image of Midoriko that he had seen in the books.
Marisha knew that both girls would need their rest so she put them in a private barrier that only either one of the lords could walk through. She turned and looked at both Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha. "You now are responsible for both these women. Kagome as you know Lord Sesshoumaru is the Fallen Angel of the stories you were told. Kikyo is the Guardian of the Angel. It is your time to protect them as I have done all these years til they were ready to come back." Marisha turned and looked at the two girls she watched and smiled then faded as a tear fell down her cheek.
Both Inu demons stood rooted to the spot unable to believe what had happened. Inuyasha was the first one to move as he made his way to Kikyo's side. He layed down beside her and buried his nose in her hair.
"Her scent has changed." Inuyasha told his brother as he raised his eyes to meet his. Sesshoumaru frowned and walked over to Kagome. He sniffed her and nodded.
"Indeed." He went to raise up when he was stopped by his brother trying not to laugh. Sesshoumaru shot him a glare. "What?" Inuyasha rolled his eyes.
"Just accept it already. It would be a lot easier and you know it." Inuyasha huffed as he settled down next to his mate to be. He knew his brother would understand what he meant. Inuyasha acted dumb but he was far from it. He kept his eyes one everything including his brother. Inuyasha knew that Sesshoumaru was falling for the girl. He smiled when he felt the bed dip and looked to see Sesshoumaru curled up behind Kagome. Inuyasha smirked as he closed his eyes.
"'Bout time." was all he said as he fell asleep again. He just couldn't help himself. Inuyasha had everything he needed and if anything arises their army would handle it. Sesshoumaru on the other hand was glaring death in his brother direction. He knew that his beast wanted the miko and now it was making itself known more than ever since the girl had come into her powers. It took all his will power not to kick his brother and Kikyo out and take her then and there but he wanted her awake and willing. Snorting he decided to join the other three in the land of sleep. He knew his advisers would be able to hand anything in his absence.
