The next story that I will be posting is called, "The Bosses Daughter," I haven't come up with a good summary yet but please bear with me. Once again thank you for reading my work…I do try my best. Please don't forget to review. And now on with the story.

"Then we're suppose to just watch as you completely lose yourself until Inuyasha is able to help you or until Totosai appears with your weapon?" Sango asked in slight anger.

"I know I'm asking a lot from you guys, I know I just got back and that leaving again will only hurt you but I don't want the village to be attack because of the jewel. I want to get rid of it." Kagome explained.

"I don't care, I missed you so much. Shippo asked for you, worried for his mother and all you have to say is your sorry and that if we are alright if you leave again?! It's not fair!" Sango roared out in tears.

"I know its not fair but I just hoped that you would be able to understand." Kagome whispered as she looked away from Sango's glare.

"No, you will wait, you have to wait." Sango hissed.

"Oka?" Shippo called.

"Shippo I'm sorry but I just want to protect you, I want to protect all of you." Kagome stated.

"What right do you have to demand such a thing from my sister." Sesshomaru's enraged growl was heard as he stood up. "And you, little brother, her intend, you allow her to be spoken to as if she was not yours as if she were the miko you do not care for?"

"Feh, shut up, I now that the bitch ain't right but that's because she is with a pup. I'm not going to put stress on her." Inuyasha mumbled.

"I'll show you stress." Sango hissed.

"Sango, it is Kagome's choice, I'm sure that this hurts her as much as it pains us but she has a point, the village will only be attacked if the jewel stays here." Miroku stated as he tried to calm his wife.

"Fine then, do what you want." Sango stated before storming out of the hut.

"Don't listen to her dear, I'm sure she didn't mean any of it." Lilith growled out.

"I know, but she has a point…Inuyasha what do you think I should do?" Kagome asked.

"I think you should do what you think is right." Inuyasha answered.

"She will not have to make a choice…" Kikiyo's soft voice was head.

"What are you talking about?" Kagome asked.

After taking a deep breath, Kikiyo stood up and said, "If the jewel is completed then I too must do my part to ensure that it falls into the wrong hands again. Even if it means that I must give up this undead life so that you can full fill this wish of mine."

"Kikiyo that's not why I wanted to say this." Kagome stated.

"Feh, you shouldn't have to do that, its not like Kagome will lose herself. She's stronger than that." Inuyasha growled.

"Inuyasha." Kagome whispered.

"Brother are you sure that she will be able to handle this? Will she be able to keep her senses when she is turned to the demon state you were in when Tetsusiga was broken?" Sesshomaru spoke up.

"She will." Inuyasha stated with a grin on her face. "IF she could accept me then she will have more sense and self control than what I did."

"Thank you." Kagome stated with a smile on her face.

"Should Totosai arrive where shall we find you?" Kikiyo asked.

"May, may, how easily you went back on what you said." Lilith growled out in anger. "Well I for one do not like this."

"You don't have to like nor do I have to care what you want of me since you put me through hell the moment I became a hanyou." Kagome growled.

"Then when shall you do this." Sesshomaru asked.

"Today." Kagome answered. "We don't have the time to be waiting around."

"What about Kohaku's shard?" Inuyasha asked.

"You don't need to worry about that, I took care of it a while back." Kikiyo answered as she took in a calming breath.

"What do you mean?" Kagome asked.

"I took the shard and made sure he did not die. He was still alive when he was given the shards so I was able to keep him from dying once I removed the shards from his shoulder." Kikiyo explained.

"So I just need whatever you guys have and I'll be able to get started." Kagome stated.

"If you're doing this then I want to be a part of it…you owe me that much Kagome." Sango's cold voice was heard as she appeared in her demon slayer out fit with Kirara at her side.

"Sango what the hell do you think you are doing? She could kill you woman." Inuyasha growled.

"I know that." Sango answered.

"Sango." Miroku tired only to be stopped.

"No, I am her friend; she is like a sister to me. I will not fear her when she needs me the most. You cannot ask me to stay here and wait to hear that she completely lost it…you cannot make me Miroku." Sango hissed as she took a step forward.

"And I say no?" Miroku stated in a challenging voice.

"Then I won't stand by and watch Kagome leave to lose herself." Sango hissed as she gripped both her sword and her weapon. "You can count on that."

Before anyone could say or do a thing, Kagome couldn't help but laugh before she said, "Fine, you can come too. I'm sure you'll be of some help to my intended."

"Kagome." Inuyasha growled out.

"If you even say that you don't think my best friend who is like the sister I never had should not come then you can forget about being there with me and I'll solely rely on Sango." Kagome growled out.

"Feh, do what you want wench." Inuyasha growled.

"Then I'm going to be there too." Miroku was heard.

"Feh, made as well just make the damn wish up at the temple." Inuyasha growled out I annoyance.

"I will be there as well." Sesshomaru added.

"Well then, I suggest we get moving before the sun goes down." Kagome stated with a grin on her face as she retrieved the other half of the jewel that Kikiyo had.

With everything said and done, the group began to make their way to the temple where Kikiyo's remains, those that were not used by the witch that brought her back to life, were kept. Once they were all ready, Kagome combined both halves of the jewel so that it was whole again. Once that had been done, Kagome locked eyes with Inuyasha and smile as she heard him growl out, "You better not run from me again wench. Other wise we'll be going after you."

"We?" Kagome whispered in a low, and slightly husky voice. "Whose we?"

Before Inuyasha could even reply, Kagome turned to face Sesshomaru as she heard him say, "If you are unable to control yourself I'm sure my father sword will be able to knock you out, Inuyasha you will have to hand over the Tetsusiga over to her."

"I understand." Inuyasha growled.

"Kagome…please don't do this." Sango whispered.

"I'm sorry Sango, but I want the village to be free of demon attacks while you are with a child. Please understand that this would be best for everyone." Kagome stated as she stepped in the middle of the large circle they had formed for her.

"You should know that will not hold back." Lilith was heard. "I will use my poisons to stop you, even if they will turn you back into a human."

"That's not going to happen." Kagome growled before she gripped the jewel.

"Kagome." Inuyasha growled.

And before anyone else could say a word, Kagome gripped the jewel and made her wish. They watched as the jewel not only disappeared but as Kagome began to fall to her knees as the demons that were trapped within the jewel for so long were forced to give all of their demonic energy to that one hanyou girl that stood in the middle of the circle. They watched as she began to transform as if it were Inuyasha that had lost it. Once it seemed like she had completed taking in all of the energy from the demons within the jewel they watched as she stayed on one knee as her poison filled claws were stretched out and ready to cut down the first person she saw fit to die by her hand. Just as she had allowed her new demonic aura to be felt, Inuyasha took a step toward her and called out, "Kagome…Kagome?"

"Well this doesn't look good." Miroku was heard as he and Sango get ready to protect themselves.

"No it does not." Kikiyo added.

"I will handle this." Lilith was heard as she stepped forward with her herbs in hand.

"Get near me and die." Kagome's dangerous growl was heard as she opened her eyes only to reveal her blood thirsty eyes looking for a good kill.

"Kagome get a hold of yourself, you said that you could." Sango called out as she tried to get through to her friend.

"So many to kill…who do I kill first." Kagome mumbled as she tried to find the perfect victim to be killed by her claws first.

Just as she was about to attack Sango, Inuyasha charged at her and pushed her back and into the woods that surrounded the small temple where Kikiyo's remains were. Once he had her pinned to the floor, Inuyasha let out a low growl and tried to get her to stop struggling. When she wouldn't let go, Inuyasha growled out at her again and said, "Stop it wench, just relax."

"Let me go!" she roared in anger as she used both her miko and newly demonic aura to blast him off of her.

Once she was free, Kagome moved within a blink of an eye and was about to attack Sango, only to be pushed back by Miroku. Realizing why Miroku had stepped up to fight her, Kagome couldn't help but grin with excitement as she got ready to fight the monk. As she easily avoided and canceled out his scared sutras, Kagome also attacked and used her claws to slowly draw blood from the monk.

"Inuyasha we need to do something." Sango cried out in worry.

"Sesshomaru, can you protect my pack and the village?" Inuyasha asked in a serious voice as he realized what the only way to stop her was.

"What are you planning little brother?" Sesshomaru answered.

"You cannot do that," Lilith growled as she realized what Inuyasha was thinking. "We do not need two uncontrollable hanyou's here."

"She acknowledged me as her intended; if I can get her to submit to me then everything should be find. Just go and get her weapons and then come looking for us. Be sure to bring the Tetsusiga once you got her weapons from Totosai." Inuyasha explained.

"Miroku!" Sango cried out as she threw the Hiraikotsu so that she could protect her husband from Kagome's once again, poison filled claws.

"Sesshomaru." Inuyasha stated as he turned to face his brother, "Can you or can you not protect them?"

"I will." Sesshomaru answered as he accepted his brother should.

"Sango, Miroku!" Inuyasha called. "Out of the way!"

Everyone watched in silence as a now demon Inuyasha tackled Kagome to the ground and pinned her down. They watched as he dug his claws into her wrist so that she would be unable to move, and they watched as she began to let out low and dangerous growls. Once it seemed as if it was starting to work, Lilith and Sesshomaru got the two humans out of the way while Kikiyo placed a barrier around a large area of the forest so that they would go and fight in the forest rather than in the village if they were to continue their little fight.

Once they were left alone, Inuyasha let out another dangerous growl and said, "Mate be still."

"Let go." Kagome growled as she began to struggle once more.

.:Be still.: Inuyasha barked as he lowered his lips so that he was hovering over hers.

.:Not Mate.: Kagome barked back.

The moment she had said that to him was the moment Inuyasha let out an enraged growl before he dug his claws deeper into her wrist before sinking his fangs into her neck as he claimed her. The moment that his fangs pierced her skin was the moment that Kagome felt an unusual balance of power, an unusual sense that she really was his just as he was hers. As he began to let out his own low and soothing growl, Kagome reached out and sank her fangs into his neck.

As the two of them slowly began to get a hold over their demon blood, Kagome locked eyes with Inuyasha and said, "Mate…my mate."

With a grin on his face, Inuyasha let out a low growl in approval before replying, "My mate…mine always wench."

Lilith locked eyes with her son with a grin on her face before turning to the dead miko and the two humans they had moved before saying, "Well, as interesting as this is, I will be taking my leave. I suggest you do not lover that barrier until it is lowered by Kagome."

"What do you mean?" Miroku asked.

"This is my brother's sword, I'm sure you will no longer have any problem. I will be returning to my lands with Rin at my side." Sesshomaru added as he handed his brother sword over to the ex-monk.

"Just what is going on here?" Sango asked in a worried voice. "Didn't you say that you would stay and wait for them."

With a grin on her face, as well as a slight blush, Kikiyo locked eyes with the two inu demons and said, "Very well then, I'll do as asked and I will take my leave once they have returned in the morning."

"Morning…why in the morning?" Sango asked.

Finally catching up to seed, Miroku nodded his head and said, "come on Sango let's get you some rest, I'll explain everything once we've told Kaede that she can have her hut back."

"Until we meet again." Lilith growled at the undead miko.

"Perhaps it will not be until the next life; I will merely watch over and stay to teach what my reincarnation still needs to learn before I can finally rest in peace." Kikiyo answered.

After looking after the letter that the mysterious woman had handed to her, Ms. Higurashi looked up to face the woman with angry eyes and said, "How dare you trick me. This is not a later from my daughter. This is merely a document that states the growth of the forest that behind our shrine. Who are you? How do you know my daughter?"

"I'm sorry that I tricked you however I just had to meet you before everyone else. You see there is something that I must say to you and I feel that it should be said before you are reunited with your daughter." Lilith answered.

"My daughter is in school overseas. Now kindly leave my house." Ms. Higurashi stated as she stood up with anger in her eyes.

"Do you really think you'll be able to throw me out," Lilith asked in a low demon like growl as she lowered her concealment spell so that the woman before her could see her true from.

"You're a demon…get out." Ms. Higurashi stated in a cold voice. 'If she has help my daughter so help me I will die trying to kill this woman.'

After taking a calming breath, Lilith locked eyes with Ms. Higurashi and said, "I merely was here to express my apologies for what I did to your daughter in the past. Whether she had told you or not she lost her memories and I was the one that took them from her. It would also why you merely spoke with her for a few moments before she left this time for good."

"I don't know what you're talking about." Ms. Higurashi stated as she turned to open the door. "Now kindly take your leave."

Before Lilith could say or do a thing, she froze in slight shock and a bit in fear when she saw who had been standing just outside the door. Before Ms. Higurashi could repeat herself, she froze with tears in her eyes and as she heard a familiar yet different voice say, "Oh, but I just got back mama."

"Kagome?" Ms. Higurashi whispered as she slowly turned to face her daughter.

"Feh, what the hell are you doing here woman. Didn't you promise not to do a thing?" Inuyasha's pissed off growl was heard.

"Forgive me my boy but I felt that I owed her an apology." Lilith explained as she walked passed Kagome and her mother. "Besides shouldn't you be watching those great grandchildren of yours?"

"Great grandchildren? Kagome…" Ms. Higurashi's shocked voice was heard.

"It's alright mama…they are my adopted son's grandchildren." Kagome answered with a smile on her face.

"Are we going to stand around all day outside or are we going in?" Inuyasha teased Kagome's mother with a smile on her face.

"Oh my…please, come in, come in." Ms. Higurashi stated as she opened the door for her daughter and her family.

"Well then I'll be taking my leave…I'm sorry to have upset you." Lilith stated to Ms. Higurashi before she disappeared from sight.

"Papa…mama!" the small fox kits could be heard as they began to run into the house.

As she walked back into the house she had not seen in more than a century, Kagome couldn't help but smile. She home, back in her own time, back where she had lived for the beginning of her life. 'The first surprise that this place give me was when I traveled to Inuyasha time…after that…my life was just full of surprised…that led me to more than a life time of happiness.' Kagome thought help but think as she made her way to the kitchen to sit down so that she could explain everything to her mother, so that she could tell her mother that she had waited for so long until she reached her own time before having her own children, besides, Shippo and the two hanyou they had adopted, so that her mother would be there for her to help raise them.
