It was only a couple more months I traveled with them before I had to get ready to go back to my home village. Knowing that it was Naraku, who ordered the attack, gave me a new spark to get stronger. I prepared my things and left Kaede's village, headed for my own. I left a couple of days early so that I could stay the entire week. I got there with one day to spare, so I took that day to maintain the graves. When I was done I went into my old hut, it was in there I found my mothers bow and arrows. Curious to see if I could remember everything Mama had taught me I grabbed them and headed out side. I took the stance I was taught and let an arrow fly. I did pretty well! Proud of myself I did a little dance. I spent the rest of the day shooting arrows at the dummy Mama had a villager build for me to practice. I had noticed that my arrows were glowing red so I focused all of my energy into that light and shot the last arrow. It burst into flames that didn't harm the arrow but caused the dummy to also burst into flames.

"So that's what I got from Papa." I looked at my hand, "My fixed element of fire." I looked at the burning doll. Not even Akihiko had inherited Papa's flame, he had gotten Mama's purification ability, which may have been why he couldn't control Honno Honnodiu very well. I gazed again at my hand and focused more of my energy into it. My hand burst into flames, but it didn't burn. All of a sudden I heard a rustle in the bushes and flicking my hand in that direction threw the fire that coated said hand in a fireball. Something jumped out of the bushes, and landed in front of me, it was a little twin tailed cat demon. Maybe a little older than Kilala.

"Hey there. I'm sorry about that, you scared me." I said smiling. It walked up to me and sniffed my hand, it then grew in size. "You have the same ability as Kilala. But what should I call you?" I said rubbing its head. "Well you're a boy, so," I suddenly got really mellow and looked at my father's grave. "Kyo, after my Papa." The big cat nuzzled me. "Can you fly, too?" the cat nodded and took off into the air. I laughed, "you're almost like Kilala's twin!" he came back down, 'Speaking of which I'll need to keep him away from her.'

Three nights later, while I was asleep, Kyo started growling, "What's wrong boy?" I asked rubbing my eye. He grew in size and ran outside. "Kyo!" I said grabbing Honno Honnodiu and following him.

"Who's there?!" I said bursting out of my hut only to come face to face with Sesshomaru. "Kyo down. He's a friend." Kyo stopped growling, shrank back to normal, went back to the hut, and sat beside the door.

"Something I can do for you?" I asked while sheathing my sword.

"Follow me." He said in a very monotone voice before walking away.

"Kyo stay here." I looked at the cat to which he nodded. And I followed Sesshomaru.

He took me to the small waterfall that was a little bit away from my village.

"What is it?"

"I believe I have courted you enough. Meyome."

"Huh?"

"Will you be my mate?"

I was stunned. I didn't know what to say. I was completely speechless, I had 'done my research' as Kagome would say on Sesshomaru. He was the eldest son of the most powerful demon to ever exist. So why was he asking ME of all people to be his mate. For at least 5 minutes, there was nothing but the sound of the waterfall and the crickets in the forest. I finally thought of something to say.

"But I'm only human, wouldn't you rather some beautiful demoness?"

He walked over to me and lifted up my chin, and as he inched closer to my face he said, "The only one I want. Is you." He finished by connected our lips. I'll admit I loved the man. But surely there was someone more fit to be his mate than I. He pulled away and asked, "Well?"

"Are you sure I'm worthy?"

"You are more than worthy, but I will transfer some of my demonic aura into you. And hopefully your demonic side will come out more."

"And if it doesn't work? Will you still love me?"

He drew me closer into his embrace, "Of course, nothing could change that."

"All right, I will."

"Then it is time for us to mate."

"Wait I would like to try something."

"What is it?"

"Something my mother taught me long ago."

I walked over and touched the nub where his arm was severed and began to chant.

"Hands of time reverse, undo the damage. Give back to this man and return what was lost!"

There was a bright light and when it faded Sesshomaru had both of his arms.

"How did you?"

"It's an old spell my mother used on wounded soldiers that passed through the village, she used it to heal their wounds, and every now and then bring back a leg. So I wanted to see if it would work."

Without a word Sesshomaru swooped me up and took me in the direction of the village.
