Chapter 11 Reunion

Year's end came and went during the travel to Shipwreck Island. Leah drank the water and her wound healed with only faint poison veins to show what had happened. The colors had faded to blend into her skin, yet they were still visible if one looked close enough. Nick stepped up in taking care of Hunter, as everyone knew instinctively he had sired the six month old. A month into the new year, the Dragon Star reached Shipwreck Island and docked. Billy left first before Will could even leave the ship. Leah's crew left as soon as they were done with their docking duties. Leah was the last on board with her friends, as Nick had taken Hunter to the Tower.

"Kagome, we have to go back," Miroku said. "If we don't, we may not be able to return."

"I need to restock the ship," Leah stated. "I want to spend time on land where I need not fight demons."

A pirate on the dock looked up to them, which silenced the conversation. The friends from Feudal Japan wanted to return home, but knew that Leah and her crew needed to spend time on land.

Elizabeth hugged Billy, threatening to squeeze him to death. When Will walked in, Elizabeth released her son; in shock of seeing her husband.

"Leah made a deal with Calypso," Will explained. "She found the Fountain of Youth."

Will pulled out the flask that still contained water that he and Nick drank. He handed it to Elizabeth, who took it without question and drank the remaning water. A few minutes later, Nick entered holding Hunter; followed by Leah, Miroku, and Sango.

"May I," she said, looking to Leah.

Leah did an eye glance to Will, who had not had a chance to even hold his own son. Elizabeth saw this and waited her turn. Nick handed the drozy Hunter to the captain. Will took his second cousin and enjoyed the time he held him. Nick went to Leah's open side, as the other was blocked by the Court table, and wrapped an arm around her wraist. Shippo ran in, followed by Inuyasha.

"Get back here, Shippo."

"No."

"Inuyasha," Leah shouted as she caught Shippo.

He froze, fearing a sit command.

"Go get Kagome."

"Why should I?"

"Because there's something that needs to be done before we set sail; as the ship is being supplied as we speak."

Shippo jumped out of Leah's arms and dashed off to find Kagome. He knew what was going to happen; though it seemed like Inuyasha forgot.

"You're welcome to the wedding," Leah said to her cousins.
