*Recap*
"Father I told Kagome the truth and she took it like I expected her to now she is in her room crying her eyes out with the door locked" said Emiko as she hung her head while silent tears crept down her face
"I see do you wish for me to talk to her?" asked Grandpa
"No she will come out on her own so just let her have time to think about things"
"Mom what are you and gramps talking about?" asked Souta
"It's nothing that concerns you at the moment OK dear" she replied
"But why is Kagome crying?"
"She is just coming to terms with things so leave her be she needs time alone" Emiko said
'I just hope that if she is angry that she will only be angry with me' she added in though
'Why' Kagome thought 'why would she do this to me'?
She got up off her bedroom floor and walked to her desk and grabbed the small and complete shikon jewel. 'I can't believe this is happening to me' she thought' this must be what Midoriko (sp?) was talking to me about.' She put the now useless jewel around her neck and went to lay on her bed and thought about the final battle they had with Naraku.
**Flashback**
Kagome was standing in the middle of a blood soaked battlefield with her bow and arrow in her hands she looked around at a dying kikyou and Inuyasha who was kneeling next to her body, then to a tired Sango and an injured Miroku, and last but not least her adopted brother Sesshomaru who had a small amount of blood trickling down his arm. Then she looked back up the monster that caused all this to her little family and was filled with rage.
"NARAKU YOU BASTARD YOU WILL PAY FOR HURTING THOSE WHO ARE PRECIOUS TO ME" she screamed at the top of her lungs and got her bow and arrow ready to fire
"You think you can defeat me little miko" he chuckled while putting up his strongest barrier
After he said this she let out a ferocious battle cry and launched a single arrow and much to Naraku's surprise the arrow that had just been shot was filled with ten times the spiritual power that Kikyou had. He had tried to avoid the arrow but to no avail he was struck in the heart by said arrow. He screamed in pain and agony then disappeared in a blinding white light and all that was left were a small pile of ashes and more than half of the shikon jewel. Kagome went over and picked up the jewel, she purified it and merged it with the remaining part of the jewel. Then all of a sudden there was a flash of light and a shout of her name in a familiar and deep baritone voice.
"Sesshomaru?" she called out but heard nothing in reply. She looked around and saw a huge battlefield littered with demons and a single woman. Although bloodied and tired the woman still stood with pride and moved towards Kagome with grace.
"*Musume*(1) "she said "come to me"
"Yes *Hahaoya*(2)" Kagome said as she met Midoriko half way
They walked in silence to another area within the jewel until Kagome spoke.
"Midoriko will you send me back to my time?" she asked with disappointment in her voice
"No dear child for you will need the bonds you have created here on another problem that presents itself to you."
"What do you mean?" she asked in confusion
"I am not permitted to tell you details but know this, soon things that which have been kept from you shall be reveled and troubles will soon follow."
"I still do not understand" she replied
"I know Musume but you will" Midoriko said" Well child our time is coming to an end and instead of making your wish I am granting you all of my power along with that of the jewel for you to do what you wish and I will allow your friends to travel through the well for you will need their help"
"Yea Hahaoya"
Another blinding light was all she saw and when it cleared she was back in the feudal era. Everyone was stunned to see Kagome standing in front of them.
Sesshomaru rushed forward to his adoptive sister, but he was also stunned for he had thought she was back in her own era.
"*Imoto (3)" he said "what has happened to you"
"I... I was granted with all of the jewel's and Hahaoya Midoriko's power" she replied
She looked around her and spotted Inuyasha and Kikyou. She walked over to them and placed her hands over Kikyou's heart. Kikyou looked at her with a bit of fear in her eyes but all Kagome did was give her a small smile. Then Kagome closed her eyes and started to say a small chant.
*Subete no shinseina-ryoku ni yotte, watashi wa niku to chi de kono josei o teiji suru kamo shirenainode, watashi ni anata no tsuyo-sa no ikutsu ka o ataeru tame ni rei o onegaishimasu.*" she said then opened her eyes to reveal not a chocolate brown but a pure baby blue as she said the final words of the chant "Watashi wa anata o inoru" (4)
Then Kikyou was surrounded by a soft glow that grew quickly and intensely into a bright blue light that had every on covering their eyes, but soon it started receding and once it was completely gone kikyou was no longer an intensely pale white but now a light pink rosy color.
"H...how did you do this" she asked shocked
"I now have the jewel's and Midoriko's power" Kagome replied then whispered in her ear so low only she could hear it "Now I want both you and Inuyasha to live a long and happy life together"
"W...what" she replied wide eyed
"You heard me. I no longer want to be with him for now I realize that my love towards him was that of a twin brother and he knows this" Kagome said with kindness while Kikyou looked to Inuyasha who simply nodded his head with a small smile
**end flashback**
She sat up on her bed and looked out the window and it seemed that while she was lost in thought the mid-afternoon sun had set and the full moon had risen. She sighed the final battle happened less than a week ago and now she was soon to be thrown into another dilemma. And not wanting to dwell on it any longer she got out of bed and walked to the kitchen to get some of the oden that was left over. But just as she was about to enter she heard crying and murmuring. She moved stealthily (thanks to sesshomoaru's training) to where the crying was. It was her 'mother' she could hear some of what she was saying.
"Please" Emiko whispered "do not let Kagome hate me for telling her this"
Kagome then saw brief flashes of her life starting when she was five and playing with her 'momma' and 'dad' to a time when her parents were saying they loved her, And Kagome realized that Emiko may be her aunt but she was the only woman she has known to be mother and she shouldn't treat her any different. So she walked in and cleared her throat, Emiko looked up startled by the sudden sound.
"Kagome, are you alright" she questioned
"Yea I'm alright I mean I'm still upset but I guess it has something to do with what Midoriko told me when we spoke. But know that you will be my mother
For you have raised me as your own." Kagome said with a small smile
Emiko looked at her then started crying harder and practically ran to give her a hug. After a moment she let go of Kagome.
"You know you can still call me momma ok kags" said Emiko hopefully
*****time skip to Kagome's birthday******
"Oi Kagome what did you want to talk to us about" asked a very impatient Inuyasha while looking around at the monk who had a red hand print on his
face along with a goofy grin, the fuming but also blushing demon slayer, the fox kit, and the fire niko.
"Oh will you relax" she sighed "we are waiting for Sesshomaru and little Rin"
"Well why the hell do we need him here" he shouted back
Kagome's eyebrow twitched "Inuyasha" she said sweetly and smirked when she saw him stiffen. And at that moment Sesshomaru showed up which
Saved Inuyasha from being sat into oblivion.
"Well lady Kagome what did you wish to speak to us about" asked the monk Miroku
"Well I wanted to ask you all if you wanted to come to my era for my birthday" Kagome asked nervously
They all looked at her in shock, except Sesshomaru who looked emotionless as always.
"What I thought the well only worked for you and Inuyasha" asked Sango
"Well Midoriko said that the well would be open to all of you now but it didn't start working till the other day when I brought my brother Souta" she replied
"Momma" said Shippo "we can really go to your time now"
"Yea I was hoping to leave now" she said and everyone gave a group yea except Inuyasha who gave a 'feh' and Sesshomaru who gave a 'hn'. Once they reached the well kagome took a hold of Shippo and Rin and told them to follow in a line which they did. She went first with the children then it was Miroku, then Sango, then Sesshomaru, and lastly Inuyasha.
They were surrounded by the magic and disappeared to Kagome's time. Once they were all at the bottom of the well Sesshomaru grabbed a hold of the kids and Kagome and jumped out of the well. Inuyasha did the same for Miroku and Sango. Kagome went up the steps and peaked out of the well house and let out a relieved sigh, the place was empty...
"Okay guys follow me we are headed to my house" said Kagome
As they were walking to the house. Kagome stopped then ran to the house leaving everyone confused even Sesshomaru.
'There is someone besides my family here' Kagome thought
