Hi again! I know you've been waiting for an update so here it is! Oh and everyone is surprised that Kagome is Midoriko's daughter but that's only half the story, k? You need to pay a lot of attention in the this/ next chapter to get the story.
Last time: "It is nice to finally see you again, my daughter."
"EH?! DAUGHTER!?!?"

"Hai. Would you like me to explain?" the elder miko asked joyfully.
Kagome nodded her head numbly as she stared blankly at her 'mothers' face. Now that she thought about it, they did sorta look alike. Sorta… Yoru nudged Kagome out of her trance and averted her attention to the miko.
"You see… It all started around two hundred years ago when I was wandering the lands in search of a wild band of oni that was said to have been terrorizing the land."
Start Flashback…
"Do not worry, I shall purify the demon for you and be on my way." Midoriko said with a smile as she waved goodbye to the villagers and began her journey into the Woods of Shinoifu. As she made her way deeper into the forest it became dreary and darker than she could have imagined. Bloodcurdling screams could be heard from all around her signaling her to leave while she still could.
"I don't like this one bit. I feel dark energy all over the place, it will take me forever to find what I'm looking for." she sighed and sat down on a near bye log to rest her feet. Her legs were already aching from the long walk and she felt her stomach growl from hunger. She rubbed her stomach ordering it to cease its rambling. She soon fell tired and placed a barrier around herself and drifted off to sleep.
Deeper into the woods a group of oni were finishing their meal of human flesh.
"Oyadama, I hear that a village near by has plenty of food for us and-" the oni was cut off.
"Silence, I feel a sacred aura near. It is a strong one too." the Oyadama said with his hoarse voice.
"Shall we go investigate?" asked the lower oni.
"Yes, I will accompany you for it looks like she will be delicious." cackled the old oni.
Minutes later they were only feet from their destination. A young demon male had already happened upon the miko and stood over her staring at her blankly.
His ears twitched as he felt a demon aura approaching and decided to wake the young woman up for she would not be able to defend herself in her current state.
He tapped her with his foot and waited for a response, none came.
"Dammit, trust a nigen to sleep in a moment of danger." he cursed and tried once more to waken her.
She moaned softly and began pushing herself up, eyes still closed.
"Mmm… What is it?" she asked asleep still.
"Miko, demons are headed your way. Wake up, that's an order." he said coldly as he pulled her up by the arm. Now her eyes were open and she looked at her capture with fear and anger in her eyes. She yanked her arm away and reached for her bow notching an arrow in ready position.
"Who are you and how did you get through my barrier!?" she demanded angrily.
The demon growled and turned to walk away.
"Nigen, I would learn to hold you tongue if I were you. There are demons out there that wouldn't hesitate to kill you in an instant if you keep up the way you are. By the way, a group of oni are on there way to kill you. Good luck."
Her eyes widened with surprise and she dropped her bow and ran to his side pulling at his sleeve gently.
He stiffened for a moment and looked down at the miko.
"What do you want, miko?" he asked coldly.
Said miko tensed and let go of him avoiding looking at him in the eye.
"I.. I.. uh… Thank you, sir." she mumbled too quietly for a human to here but she wasn't talking to a human. She was speaking to a demon.
The demon's eyes widened and he froze in place.
Midoriko waited a while for a response but he remained quiet. She looked up at him and gasped. He was beautiful.
He had snow white skin, glowing sapphire eyes, and long golden hair pulled back into a high ponytail. She gasped as she saw an image of a sword wrapped in sakuras on his forehead. Her eyes moved from his face and she began examining his clothes. He wore jet black gold embroidered hakamas with a matching haori and red sash. He carried a sword across his back and three small throwing knives at his side. Her heart skipped a beat as she he looked her in the eyes.
"Ore wa Tsukisotsu, heir to the Fire Lotus Clan, anata wa?" he asked playfully.
She continued to look at him with her far off gaze. Impatiently he growled but then it hit him. So that's it huh? A smirk formed at his lips as he reached out to her and pulled her into an embrace. "This is what you wanted, ne?" he asked amused.
She shoved him away and turned her head so that he did not see her blush.
"I already know you're blushing so you don't have to turn around." he laughed.
"Sh-shut up. I- I am not blushing." she stuttered.
He smiled closed the gap between them. "What are you doing thinking he's hot? He's a demon. D-E-M-O-N. You aren't supposed to like them, you are supposed to kill them. And I can't believe you liked him for a second. He's such a jerk, but he didn't kill me." he said.
Her embarrassment left and was replaced by anger. "How did you?! Did you read my mind?!" she yelled.
He chuckled and nodded. Her mouth dropped open and she went and grabbed her bow. She notched her arrow yet again and aimed it at him, again. "What gives you the right to go around reading peoples minds, you jerk?!" she screamed at him.
He opened his mouth to answer but was cut off by a club being swung at him.
He dodged it and looked over at a shocked miko.
"Don't just stand there purify it!" he yelled angry that he had forgotten about the demons.
He unsheathed his sword and slashed at one of the oni. He had successfully killed three when four more appeared surrounding the miko.
She closed her eyes and chanted a sacred spell to herself and waited till her hands were surrounded by her ki and shot purifying balls at two of the demons and ran for her bow. The demon's eyes widened as one of the oni threw he into a tree. His eyes flashed a dark red as he ran to her side slashing through the oni in his way.
"You dare save a human!" yelled one of the oni.
"I will do as I please for it is none of your concern. Now die!" he yelled as he ripped through the oni and turned ready to slash through the next one.
"Go now and I will spare you." he barked.
"You cannot order me weekling!" yelled the Oyadama as he lunged at him.
"Then die." he said cracking his knuckles. His index and middle fingers began glowing a deep green color and he flicked his wrist sending a whip at his and cutting him in half.
The other oni fled for their lives and it was once again quiet.
He picked up the miko and her bow and flew away in the night sky.
End Flashback…
"Wow, so our dad saved you?" Kagome asked while jumping up and down in excitement.
"Yes, but that is not the rest of it my dears." Midoriko said sadly.
"What do you mean?" Yoru asked with a confused look on her face.
"It is a long story." she said.
"We have time." Kagome said with a forced smile.
"Okay…" she sighed.
"You were born of the Shikon not of our bodies but of our spirits." she explained.
"After we met we became fast friends and he would often travel with me. We became close, real close. He brought me Kirara as gift of protection and I loved that cat. She helped me all the times and she helped me till the end." she trailed off.
"We were to become mates but his mother did not agree. One day she had a demon rape me and told Tsukisostu that I had betrayed him. He believed her because she was his mother, so why would she lie to him. He hated me and cursed me and many times tried to kill me. It became an all out war. In the last of the moments he attacked me head on and I was ready. I put a barrier around Kirara and cast my last spell. He and I are now stuck in the jewel in an endless battle." she cried tears now falling down her cheeks.
Kagome wrapped her arms around the crying form and whispered words of comfort in her ear while she cried as well.
Yoru looked at the miko sympathetically and soon too gave into their crying and began comforting her now crying master.
"Kaa-san…" she whispered while rubbing soothing circles on both of their trembling backs.
"Yoru!" she cried wrapping her arms around her other side of her daughter.
(A/N: confused yet?)
After a while Kagome and Midoriko calmed.
"Kaa-san, what else is there to tell us?" Yoru asked.
"Daughters…I have come to tell you that unless you two learn to accept each other I'm afraid that your soul will break apart and you will die." she said trying to remain calm.
"What!?" both of them yelled at once.
Midoriko gave a slight sigh and looked at them with sad eyes.
"I can train Kagome but you, Yoru, will have to train with your father. Once you have finished your training I will help you to control your powers and emotions as one, but in order to complete the process I will need the help of your father." she trailed off.
Kagome nodded her head in understanding while Yoru just stood there.
"Feh! I will cooperate with Kagome for your Kaa-san but not for you." she said pointing her long clawed finger at her counterpart.
Kagome sighed and hug her mother goodbye.
"We will do our best Okaa-sama." she said with a smile.
Yoru scoffed and nodded in agreement.
"I will try my best to get Tou-san to cooperate." she stated with a bored tone.
"Good. I will see you tonight." she said.
"Tonight?" they asked in unison.
"Of course silly. How else do you think I would be able to train you! I will find Tsuki-san he would be happy to see his daughter, er… you Yoru." she laughed and threw herself at her daughters tickling them for what they were worth.
Midoriko soon came back to her senses and took a neckles from out of her haori.
"Here. It's a charm made of your dad's fang, if anything happens just focus your powers on it and help will come, k?" she said as she placed it in their hands.
"Oh one more thing. It's confusing to call our body our body Kagome so can we change our shared name?" asked Yoru.
"Sure, honey." Midoriko said with a grin.
"I want to be named Hasuko." Yoru said eagerly.
"Hasuko?" asked Kagome.
"Hasuko…Lotus child… I like it! From now on you guys are gonna be called Hasuko!" their mother cried happily.
Kagome sighed… She was going to have to get used to the change of name.
Midoriko waved goodbye and faded away.
And with that it went dark again.

Sesshomaru sat under a tree staring at the glowing orb that used to be Kagome.
He was confused as to how a human could become demon and why she was the legendary Fire Dog of Hades but he would have to ask her when she got out of her bubble.
The light surrounding Kagome began to fade and disappeared after she was laying on the ground sleeping peacefully.
Sesshomaru ran over to her side and examined her features.
She was still in her demon form golden and red hair forming a pool around her. He had to admit she was beautiful. One of the most stunning demonessess he had ever seen.
He kneeled down to her and gathered her into his arms and headed back to his camp.
Once he had arrived he walked over to Rin and asked her to fetch Jaken and be ready to leave for his castle immediately. She nodded happily and in five minutes they were ready to go.
"My lord may I ask what happened to the Miko?" Jaken asked not even noticing the demoness in his arms.
"There was never a miko, Jaken. We leave now." Sesshomaru said flying into the air on his demonic cloud.
He looked down at the miko-demon and sighed holding her closer to himself so that she did not fall they headed home.

With the Inutachi!!!
The Miroku and Sango headed home in defeat. They had been searching for hours and they were not getting any closer to finding Kagome or Inuyasha. They had already thought over the possibility that Kagome had went home but the piece of her clothing that they had found in the river had proven that theory wrong. Sango had tried her best to keep up her tough exterior but inside she was crying and praying that her sister be alright. She had lost her family and her brother already and she didn't plan on losing anyone else any time soon.
Miroku sighed again for the hundredth time that day and wished they would find their friends soon. Sango was at her breaking point and Shippo had hardly talked since his Kaa-san had left. Life was definitely not the same without Kagome and Inuyasha around.
They were close to Kaede's village now. Miroku rubbed Sango's back knowing it wasn't the time to be playing around. Sango opened her mouth to speak but was interrupted by Kirara growling.
Sango asked the cat what was wrong and gained a roar in the direction of Inuyasha's forest. The three headed down there with speed and energy they had lost hours ago. Kirara had landed minutes ago and they had to travel by foot up the mountain. Mini Kirara had stopped near a stream and let out a loud and melancholy roar into the sunset. Sango hurried in the direction of Kirara and gasped when she had reached her.
She fell to her knees and let out a loud scream filled with her pain. Miroku walked out of the trees and now knew why his friends had acted so brashly. There was blood and bits and pieces of Kagome's clothing everywhere. Miroku felt his stomach churn at the site. He leant over relieved himself in a bush. The huntress just sat there tears running down her face. Her eyes became dull and her skin pale as death. She let out one more cry and she fainted from the shock.
Kirara went to her master and cuddled at by her chest knowing the pain she was currently going through. Miroku made his way to the unconscious woman and picked her up. Kirara followed behind him head bent over in sadness. On the way down they heard a rustle in the bush not to far away from them. Kirara growled angrily at whatever was coming and Miroku placed Sango against a tree ready for the extra company.
