"Hiei, Kagome asked me to give you this" Keiko said softly, handing him the letter before joining the others in the main room.

'Dear Hiei, I love you more than anything but this is something I must do, do not fear the jewel will not let me die, that much I know. It will continue creating me a body to live in since I am the jewel. I never got the chance to tell you I was pregnant, I don't know if the jewel will save the baby or not but if it doesn't keep the child with me raise it well. I will find my way back to you my love that much I know. Please don't give up on me. Please take care of our child if it reaches you. I love you with all of my soul. Kagome Ps if we have a girl, name her after my mother, if we have a boy name her after my father and grandfather.'

Hiei allowed a single tear gem to escape his eyes as the blue and pink light reappeared. Standing before him was a beautiful woman dressed in armor holding a baby. She looked a lot like Kagome but had her differences. Hiei knew immediately it wasn't his mate.

"Who are you?"

"I am Midriko, one of the souls of the shikon. I can not return you're mate, and it pains me that I can not do so, my reincarnation doesn't deserve this" She said softly. "However I can give you your child, your son"

"How"

"Yes I know Kagome wasn't far enough along for this to be possible, but the child does deserve his life." Midriko said handing him the baby boy. Hiei looked at his son with pride. He had tuffs off his mothers black hair with silver and black eyes with red and silver specks like a raging storm, he earned the black crescent on his forehead but other than that he looked like Hiei.

"My son" He said softly holding the baby gently. He stood and walked into the main room causing everyone to look at him.

"Hiei, why do you have a baby" Kawabata asked looking as if he was going to try and take the infant from Hiei.

"My son, Hotaru Kazue" He said as if it was common knowledge.

"Kagome's baby, but how?" Kagura asked smiling at the infant.

"Midriko brought him to me"

It had been three years since that battle and Kagome had yet to return to them. Kagura had explained how Kagome had disappeared after the battle with Naraku only to return two days later. Hiei had surprised everyone when he started showing emotions, the entire group continued living together in the house Keiko and Kagome had bought. Lady Estella had paid to have it expanded and moved in also making it the strong hold of the west in Nigenkai.

"Daddy" Hiei looked over at the door to see his son standing there. With a nod the little boy ran over and crawled into his lap. "Daddy do you miss mommy"

"Yes Hotaru, I miss your mother greatly" He said softly

"Mommy doesn't want you to be sad" The little boy spoke softly,

"How do you know this"

"She told me," Hotaru said smiling at his father. "Mommy talks to me all the time. She told me she's coming home real soon and she's sorry she had to leave me, Daddy what happened to mommy?"

"What did she tell you" Hiei asked surprised his son could talk to his mother.

"That she had to leave because she was really hurt, why was she hurt?"

"She was fighting a very evil man, who hurt her very badly, so badly that if she hadn't gone she would have never been able to come back." Hiei said softly as he hugged his son. "Did mommy say when she was coming back"

"She's already here!" He said smiling at his father. Hiei looked at his son who had proceeded to pull him out of the room. "She sent me to come get you"

"Then why did you ask me all those questions" Hiei asked his son simply looked up at him.

"I wanted to know why mommy left" He said as if it was an everyday statement. They arrived in his and Souta's room to see Kagome leaning against the wall in her youkia form.

"Kagome."

"Hiei" She said hugging him tightly. "I'm sorry, it took the shikon so long to make my body again."

"It's quite alright love, this is you're son, Hotaru Kazue" Hiei said smiling at her.
