The hug lasted for a bit, till she broke free and smiled. Her pack accepted her, she shoulda knew they would but she still worried. Glancing over towards the others she smiled. Yes, they were going to defect Naraku once and for all.

"Alpha, I request that my brothers stay here and watch over the woman and children. I also request to use your sword M'lord."

"Hai, Froster and Yoi will stay here with me. As for my sword, I'll have to say no. But, I can do better."

Tilting her head like a confused pup. She agreed and looked towards InuYasha's father.

"M'Lord. Do you request to join us?"

Her pack was surprised that she asked, but he laughed. A joyful booming laugh that would put thunder to shame.

"Hai Child. Hai. I will fight aside with my son and his pack to rid the evil of that man."

She smiled and nodded her head. Her brothers took the child and woman besides herself, Sango and Kikyo inside.

"So. Let's get down to business shall we? As far as we know, he only has Kanna and Kagura are the only ones who are still alive I believe. With that being said, I'd like to save them both. Kagura is the wind and I fear that if she was to die things would be hard to fix."

Shockingly Inyuasha had nothing to say against that. Glancing towards Sesshomaru; she knew he wouldn't say anything against her idea due to his affection towards the wind demon. After hours of talking they all decided it was best to head inside. As they headed their own ways, she was pleasantly surprised to see Inuyasha following her.

"We need to talk," was all he said as he headed into her room. The nerve of that man sometimes. Sighing she followed him in and sat on her bed waiting for him to speak.

"What did I do nooow?" Whining softly she fell back on the bed. Only to hear him chuckle.

"Nothing, I just need to speak with you. As you know you're the alpha Female. And most alpha females only happen due to mating within the pack."

Sitting up quickly she nodded her head, "Hai, but I can't be a beta due to that's Sango's place and I don't fit that area. I'm either the Alpha fem or I'll be placed lower than Shippo, and he's only in a low rank till I can adopt him as my pup."

He nodded his head slowly, "Hai, but that's not what I'm getting at." He slowly got up and closed her door before sitting back against the wall. "I know that I've been an ass for the last year and a half. And I also know that me going to kikyo weather it was for whereabouts on Naraku or not was not a good pack leader."

"Inu-"Cutting her off, he shook his head," Iie, Let me finish. I've talked with my mother and father. I've messed up and if my otou and you otou wanted, they could have my head."

"In-""Kagome, Please. Let me finish. I've tried for months, to figure this out. My otou made a clear point. You've stuck with me even though I've put you in danger many times. I've left you to see Kikyo, I've let you walked away knowing demons wanted you for dinner or to mate with. I've fucked up. I'll admit that." Taking a deep breath he looked up to her face. "I was confused. You stayed. You brought in Sango and Miroku and they stayed. Call it pity if you will, or just plain being a dumbass. But, I was waiting for you to leave."

She got up from her bed dropped to her knees in front of him, she wanted nothing more but to hold him and fight his fears away. "Inuyasha, I promised to stay by your side. That's what I plan to do. It hurt that you left for her, but I understand. You love her, I get it. I don't want you to have to pick between my safety and your happiness."

Glancing up he looked at her, "Kagome. Your safety is what makes me happy. Do you think I'm glad you get hurt so much? At first I'll admit, I went because I did love her but now? Kami. I wasn't sure till I seen you fall to the earth bleeding. Do you realize how scared I was? How I almost let my demon side take control? You didn't wake up, you wouldn't wake up. Then you do it again? Kami Kagome. You've made me want to lose control so many within the last couple days than I ever want to in a life time. "

She looked down sadly and started to cry, "I'm sorry Inu-Kun. I just wanted you all to be happy..."

He held her to his chest as she sobbed, his hand tangled in her raven locks. "Shhh Kags, I'm not mad anymore. I'm glad I get this chance to be with my parents again. But please, next time don't do anything stupid! Keh, I can't protect you if you keep this up wench." (I realize he's OOC but, since dogs age faster than humans I figured within a year he'd mature a little?)

She clung to him and nodded her head slowly, "Hai, I promise Inuyasha."

"Good, I need to tell you something also wench. This won't be easy for me either so give me time."

"Hai, I understand Koinu-kun. But, now's not the time. We need to rest if we're going to head out tomorrow. Early rising."

He looked down at her and chuckled, it shook his body slightly and he nodded. "keh, of course wench. We still have to defeat Naraku." He got up and sat against the wall, "Night wench."

Shaking her head softly she crawled into her bed, "Night Koinu-Kun."


The next morning she woke up to yelling, rolling out of bed she headed towards the stairs.

"But I want to go!"

"You're too young!"

"Souta, sweetie, listen to your mother."

"I WANT TO GO."

Sighing she jumped down and landed right in front of her younger brother.

"Souta, look at me and listen. You're not going. Uhhuh, shut it I'm not done talking. You're not going because you need to be trained. Do you want mama to lose you? No? Good, you will stay here and train with Alpha and grow stronger with each day. When we come back the next time there is an evil demon trying to kill everything and take over the world, you may come then. Now stop your crying and tell mama you're sorry for yelling at her."

Her friends looked at her shocked, Souta walked over towards their mother and hugged her. Whispering that he was sorry in her stomach. Shooting her daughter a grateful look she ushered everyone in the dining area to eat. Noticing that there were a few people missing she set off to find them. As she turned and went down the left hallway she bumped into Lord Tashio.

"Excuse me M'Lord, I was just coming to tell you that Breakfast is served." She bowed her head slightly.

"Miss Kagome, you do not have to call me your Lord. If I were to live all those years, I would have been your Godfather or uncle. Are my sons at the table already?"

She looked up and smiled," Yes Uncle Tashio. Along with your mate."

He patted her shoulder and walked towards the room, but not before saying," Inu. He loves you."

Shaking her head of such thoughts she headed towards her brother's room. His mate and children were at her father's house in the future.

"Yori, Yo-Yo, Breakfast is ready," she knocked gently on the door.

"Ay, I'll be there soon."

Sighing softly she walked back towards the dining area. She noticed the only seat was beside Inuyasha and in between Sesshomaru and Kikyo. Sighing softly she sat down.

"Yo-Yo may not come down. His head is starting again."

Her mother nodded her head and waved on of the maids over.

"Miss Yoko, Will you please save Yori some food and take him some herbs up for his head?"

"Hai m'lady."

"Thank you darling."

Kagome smiled at her parents. Her father and mother sat head of the table. Where they belong.


When breakfast was done and over, the gang started to get ready for their trip. Only Kagome, Miroku, Sango, Inuyasha, Kouga, Sesshomaru, Kikyo, and Inu-No- Tashio were going. Inuyasha hasn't spoken to her since last night, sighing she thought. "If he loves me why doesn't he speak to me?"

(Demon talking. human talking. Half demon.)

"Maybe he's confused."

She almost jumped out of her skin till she reason it was only her demon side speaking, glancing around she notice no one was playing much mind to her. They were already on their way towards the South.

"Maybe, but why did he come into our room last night and say all this if he is?"

"He's confused, he believed she loved him but we all know that was a lie."

It went on like that for a while, till the group decided to take a break. Sighing softly she leaned against a rock near the river. Everyone was taking about all the good it will do to have Naraku gone. She couldn't agree more, but she knew it wasn't going to be easy. If Ryuu was in on Naraku's games, they were in for a hell of a fight. Ryuu was one of the strongest monks she's ever met. They had to be extremely careful when they come across them. There's no telling what could happen.


"Penny for your thoughts?"

She glanced up and seen Sango. Smiling she rolled her head slightly," Just worried. If Ryuu is really with Naraku, we're in for a hell of a battle."

Sango nodded her head and Miroku sat down in front of them. "Kagome, who is Ryuu? You explained but not as much."

Sighing she looked down at her hands," Ryuu was my first love, I met him after I tried to commit suicide. He told me about how his mother done the same thing and he knew how badly those thoughts hurt. He said he wanted to heal me." She gave a dry laugh and glanced up, Kikyo was not on her right while Inuyasha and Sesshomaru sat on her left. "We spent every day together till he found out Kikyo was given the Jewel. He was pissed that I declined to be the protector. If I knew what it really was, I wouldn't have. He attacked Kikyo the day she was given it, and in return attacked him, only. It wasn't him. It was Onigumo. Which is what lead him to be a bandit. Then towards Kikyo. Ryuu heard that I attacked him and that night. On my human night, he raped me. When the sun finally came up, I lost control. I went after him and almost killed him. Till, Kikyo shot me down. "

Everyone looked at Kikyo in shock," She was being unreasonable."

Tashio spoke up behind Kagome," Iie, When a female Dog demon is hurt and unmated, they have to defend themselves. Kagome, by Demon law. Had every right to attack him. If the Demon Law heard you stopped her, you could've been killed."

"Her mom knew what happen and went to get my mom, mama was brought back and two months later His father died. So, He came after me. He had no idea I was pregnant and I knew if he knew I was he would have purified me and the pup. So I used the last bit of my strength, closed the well. Two months later my father took my daughter here to train. We didn't want her to be raised in the future. "

Sango reached over and hugged Kagome. She always knew Kagome was stronger than what she let on.
