10 Years Later

Souta and Kagome are heading in the next village, when they got there, they saw nothing but many dead bodies and blood splattered on the ground. Kagome gasped and let a single tear shed down her right cheek. They were standing a village that was slaughtered and by the looks of it, it happened not to long ago.

"This is awful, Souta. No one is supposed to die like this and I mean NO ONE!" Kagome said in anger and sadness.

"I know and by the looks of it …. It is the work of a demon. Please, tell me you sense a sacred jewel shard around here, Gome." Souta said

Kagome was looking around and sensed a demonic aura up ahead, she ran to where the aura is and Souta followed suit. When they got there, they gasped and got in a defense stand ready to battle the demon. What they saw was horror, they saw 6 children. They were frighten and they had dirt on their arms, legs and faces as well as bruises and cut. There was also a demon they knew very well, an Ongokuki, a demon that kidnaps and sells them to other demons for money. Souta and Kagome were very angry, really angry by the look in their eyes, they were filled with anger and worry for the children.

"Ongokuki, let the children go, Now! Or you'll regret it.

"And why would I do that. Like I would listen to a weakling human like you." Ongokuki said with a smug look on his face.

Ongokuki smirked and grabbed the boy by the collar of his kimono. Ongokuki gasped when a sacred arrow came in contact with his arm, he screamed in pain and was angry. With he ran towards Kagome, she gasped and shuts her eyes tightly, waiting for a hard push towards the tree and be in pain, but nothing happened. She opened her eyes and saw her older brother in front of her with his staff on the demons head and the demon screamed in pain. Souta is a monk and Kagome is a priestess, they are done training their powers with their teachers and learned a lot about fighting demons, healing, putting up barriers, using ofudas, and learned how to use different kinds of weapons. Souta was fighting the demon and the demon disintegrated into ashes. The children cheered and were happy that someone saved them from the demon, but they were sad when they saw that their parents were dead.

Kagome's POV

Souta and I walked towards the children, held our hands out to them.
"It's alright, we are here to take you to the next village where you can be safe. Come, don't be afraid we're not going to hurt you." I said in a soft voice. I saw them taking a few steps towards Souta and I, before running in our arms. The children told us that they had uncles, aunts or grandparents in the next village except for one boy, but the boy was no ordinary boy, he was a demon, a kitsune demon to exact, his name is Shippo. He said that his only family was his father and no one else. I was sadden by this and I so surprised when he asked me something that I never even thought he would ask me.

"Can I come with you and Souta, Miss Kagome. Please, I promise that I won't be a burden." He said desperately and he was so close to tears. My eyes soften and I had a small smile on my face.

"Of course, you can Shippo and no your not a burden to me or Souta. Right, Souta?" I said as I turned to face him. He looked at me with a small smile.

"Of course you can come along Shippo and Kagome is right, you aren't a burden to us. So yes Shippo you can come with us and besides," I saw him bent to whisper to Shippo's ear and with my good hearing, I heard what he said made me smile. "we kitsunes must stick together, ne." As he said that, I saw Shippo's eyes widen and had a big smile on his adorable face.

"Okay, everyone find things that are going to be in good use like clothes, blankets, food as well as water and put it in a bag to take them with you. When you're done meet me and Souta, when we're done making graves for your parents, pray for our respects and we can be on our way to the next village, okay." I said calmly and the children went to their things and I handed Souta a shovel, we began digging a graves for the children's parents and it's going to be a long day. I went to Shippo and asked him if there were any herbs so I can use them to heal their wounds, but it's going to take time for the three children to heal their broken arms or legs. Besides Souta and I are going to visit Keade so I can finish my miko in training, oh and before I forget, Souta and I have been training with our mother and father, Midoriko and Ken, in our dreams. Weird, I know, but it works and we were training with every weapon, our spiritual powers and demonic powers, they also taught us how to sense and conceal auras, hand-to-hand combat, every other fighting styles, how to make poison and how to heal and how to make weapons from demon bones.

They also gave us gifts like; pets/battle partner, Souta had a demon cat with black fur, red stripes on her legs, her two tails and a red star on her forehead. She also had these amazing silver eyes. Souta named her Tenshi, it means Angel. I also have a demon cat with silver fur, back stripes on her legs, he two tails and a black crescent moon on her forehead. He too, had these gorgeous sapphire eyes. I named him Kiba which means Fang. We loved our pets/battle partner, but that's not all we got, we also got bracelets with many different kinds of weapons on it, I got a powerful flute that makes peace everywhere where I play it and I have different tunes for different reasons, and Souta got father's powerful staff. Our training with our parents was done and said our good-byes to them. Oh, before I forget Souta and I are telepathic, we can also talk to Tenshi and Kiba. 'Now that I think about, where is Tenshi and Kiba. They must be hunting or something.' I thought. I was broken out of my thoughts when Shippo started talking.

"There are herbs where father and I used to live and we always collect the herbs for the villagers. I can show you where they are." he said with a sad smile.

"Thank you and please take me there so I dress your wounds, same goes with the others children." I said a understanding look on my face. We got the herbs, I started to dress his wounds and started to dress the other children's wounds. We laid out flowers on the graves, prayed for our respects and we set off to the next village.

We made to the village and were surprised when the village was a demon slayer village. A demon slayer walked up to us and welcomed us.

"Hello, my name is Jakotsu and welcome, how may I help you?" He said with a warm smile. He had short black hair held up in a pin, two blue indigo stripes under his eyes and stops right under his cheeks, red lips, and coal looking eyes. He is wearing a light purple kimono with four green markings like leaves and the piece on the left of his leg is pulled up, grayish-purplish scarf around his neck. With the look and the clothes, he could be mistaken for a beautiful women.

"Hello, my name is Kagome, I'm 16, and this is my older brother, Souta, he's 18." I said until I heard meow's on the ground and found that it was Tenshi and Kiba. I picked up Kiba while Tenshi hopped onto Souta's shoulder. "This is Kiba and the one my brother's shoulder is Tenshi." I said happily now that I have Kiba in my arms again and he began to nuzzle my cheek making me giggle.

[Kagome, did you find a place to stay for the night. You may not know this, but you and Souta need rest for traveling from afar from Keade's village, so please rest for the time being and we can leave tomorrow noon.] Kiba said to Kagome in telepathy along with an image of him with wide eyes.

'That's so kuwaii and I don't think would be able to resist' I thought

[Why thank you Kagome] he said with his eyes dancing in victory.

*Damn, I forgot you can hear my thoughts, Kiba. Oh, alright but one night alright and I bet Souta is having the same conversation with Tenshi right now* I said and sighed in defeat.

Souta's POV

^Souta, you and I both know that Kagome and yourself, especially Kiba even if he doesn't show it and I need rest, tomorrow noon we can leave along with the kit Shippo. Please agree to this, Souta^ Tenshi said pleadingly.

Alright Tenshi, we'll rest for the night, okay. I said defeated. Then I scowled when I heard Tenshi purring and smiled at her. I broke out of my thoughts when I heard Kagome started talking with Jakotsu.

"If you don't mind me asking that if we could spend the night here." Kagome said kindly.

"Yeah and um… we brought children from thrilling that were attacked by a demon not to long ago. We also have three children that have either a broken arm or leg. We were hoping if you could take them in and get them treated properly." I said in a tired voice and I finally noticed how tired I was.

"Oh, we have a doctor and healers here. Why don't you all follow me and we'll treat the wounds. This way." Jakotsu said with smile.

Hi! ^_^ The next chapter is called 'Meeting the members of the Band of Seven'. Yeah so there is only going four members because in the story Ginkotsu, Mukotsu and Kyokotsu are dead and that they died in battle against demons protecting the village. Also in this story they are the good guys. So Bankotsu, Renkotsu, Jakotsu and Suikotsu are the only ones remaining.

So you guys I want to know what pairing you want. Do any of want the walking Corpse- I mean Kikyo in this story and if so then Kikyo is paired with Naraku or do not want kikyo to be paired.
