Disclaimer: I do not own InuYasha
We left off here:
Just before Kagome was about to get up she heard a soft purring. It soothed her and made her sleepy. She let the purr sooth her and lull her into a deep restful sleep.
Okay and Back:
~*~*~*~The Next Day~*~*~*~
Kagome woke. It was sunset. Suddenly Kagome felt much more mature than she was. She felt a tug and her heart and turned North West. The same general Direction of Kaede's village. She breathed in and could smell the scents of her neko friends and turned towards them.
"I need to go that way. Some thing's pulling me." Kagome said simply as she turned back to the North West.
"What is it?" Akari asked.
"I don't know but it needs me." Kagome said shifting into her Cat form. In her cat form Kagome was larger than Akari in her demonic form. She was solid black and kept her midnight blue eyes. In her cat form her large cat ears became long and elf like and her fangs grew long and thick extending well out of her mouth.
Kagome roared loudly as she charged towards the tug. Quickly it became more urgent.
My Kit! Her demon side yowled.
Akari and Kagaru were close behind Kagome as she ran.
"What's going on?" Akari yowled over the air rushing past them when she sensed Kagomes fear and anger.
"My Kit." Kagome wailed digging her claws into the ground and pushing her speed to it's limit.
They ran fast and hard for several minutes when they burst into a clearing.
There stood a panther demon over a small red headed fox kit.
Kagome snarled at the panther demon and bounded over to stand above the fox kit. As she got close she recognized it as Shippo.
"What do you want with this whelp?" hissed the panther demon.
"I have adopted this kit as my own. You will not harm him." Kagome snarled.
"You think you can stop me?" it sneered.
"Have you ever seen what a mother will do to protect their kit." Kagome responded in a low deadly voice.
The Panther Demon froze rethinking it's plan of action. It looked at her then Shippo and back to her and nodded. Then it turned and bounded out of the clearing without once looking back.
Kagome nodded firmly and changed back to her regular form. Then she turned and scooped Shippo into her arms.
"What happened? Why aren't you with the others?" Kagome asked nuzzling him.
"Ka-Kagome?" Shippo squeaked looking at her with wide eyes.
"Yes. It's me Shippo." Kagome purred.
Shippo clung to her and cried.
"Shhhh." Kagome soothed. As she held him to her and stroked his hair gently rocking him in her arms. Slowly he stopped crying and told her what had happened. Starting at how he had left the group to find her and ending at how he had ended up fighting the panther demon.
"I'm gonna kill him." Kagome snarled holding Shippo close. Kagome sniffed breathing in two scents at the same time as Shippo squeaked in fear and buried his face in her shoulder.
Kagome purred soothingly as she felt the swirl of Akari and Kagaru's aura's as they turned back into their smaller regular forms. They leaped onto her shoulders and nuzzled Shippo purring softly.
"Is this your kit?" Kagaru asked.
"This is my kit." Kagome purred. "As long as he doesn't mind." Kagome added looking at a stunned Shippo.
"You r-really want to be my m-momma?" Shippo asked his eyes sparking with hope.
Kagome smiled and nodded. "Yes I do." She purred.
"Thank you Ka-" he paused and smiled. "Thank you Momma." Shippo said and slowly fell into an exhasted sleep.
For five days they trained Shippo and got him used to their daily scedual and then they set off.
~*~*~*~xXx~*~*~*~
For the next six months Kagome, Akari, Kagaru, and Shippo traveled the West saving villages from Harm whether it was by Demon or Human hand. They fought hard and long and all learned of the Neko/Miko/Hanyou who helped them time and time again. Eventually most of the villagers came to love and respect them and the enemy's to fear and respect them.
By the end they all knew each other better than they knew themselves.
Unfortunately no one could get Kagome to talk about what she had remembered. They still couldn't get her to talk when she would wake up screaming or crying from nightmares that had only started to plague her after she got back her memory.
None the less they went with out the information until one day Kagome was finally able to sort it out.
~*~*~*~xXx~*~*~*~
I don't want to see him again but if I go back to my old life then I will. Kagome thought sadly.
We have to go back. He is our chosen! We need him! And we need our land! As our land needs us! It is our duty as a princess! Don't make me force my way out to do this myself! Her demon tried to persuade her.
You weren't the one he hurt were you. Kagome countered.
No but you need to at least stop this war! The Western Lands are fighting for you! You must tell them that The Northern Lands never took you! Her demon snarled.
Fine. Kagome finally agreed.
Also you must tell your pack of our past. It is only fair. Her demon said.
Must I? Kagome mentally whined.
You must. Her demon confirmed.
Fine. Kagome sighed.
Kagome opened her eyes to see her pack, Akari Kagaru and Shippo, staring at her expectantly.
She sighed and sat up straight and turned to her expectant friends.
"Okay... This is what I remember..." Kagome continued to describe her life to them. Telling them of how she had once been with InuYasha and then Narakus three years of torcher. They all listened in a shocked silence as she told them she was Princess Ky but how she couldn't bring herself to go back to her old life and risk seeing InuYasha but had decided in the end that there was no way around it. If InuYasha was her chosen the the fates would have their way one way or another and that she would rather deal with him sooner rather than later. Then she explained her plan to go to Sesshomoru and tell him to stop the war and then she would go home to her kingdom and handle everything as it came.
Akari and Kagaru used their mental link to talk to Kagome while Shippo sat in her lap and thought these things over.
(Kagome, Akari, Kagaru)
Which way should we take to the Western Castle?
Are we going fast or regular pace?
How are we going to convince Sesshomoru you're the princess?
Are we going to try to fix things up with you and your old friends?
W-
CAN YOU GIVE ME A MOMENT TO ANSWER! Kagome glared at them both.
Sorry.
Didn't mean to keep talking it's just alot to take in at once.
It's fine. Now first. We're taking the fastest way possible but at a regular pace. There are several ways to convince Sesshomoru that I'm Princess Ky but I'm just going with the easiest way. By using our secret names. Kagome grinned. And I will try if we run into them but I don't have time to search for them I'm almost fifty years behind on my Princess duties. I should have gotten married and had children by now b-
With InuYasha.
Kagome blushed furiously. Yes but... As I was saying I'm not going to rush into any relationships at all.
Shippo smiled up at Kagome.
"What is it Shippo?" Kagome asked with a sweet smile.
"None of that changes anything momma." Shippo said.
Kagome grinned. "Well then lets go."
~*~*~*~xXx~*~*~*~
It was a months travel to the capitol of The Western Lands and then another six days through the city and to his castle only to find that he wasn't there.
She was glad she had told Akari and Kagaru to keep in touch mentally and stay out and protect the towns and villages near by.
It took nine weeks for him to return to his home and though Kagome had been made comfortable in the castle she was really glad that the wait was over and she could finally put a stop to this war.
~*~*~*~xXx~*~*~*~
Kagome knocked at Sesshomoru's office door.
"Who is it?" he asked in his usual monotone.
Kagome waited...one...two...three...four...five.
"Kya?" He asked just loud enough for her to hear.
"Yes Fluffy?" Kagome responded with a smile.
Sesshomoru opened the door and looked at her.
"So you have finally been released?" He asked.
"Yup." Kagome said.
"Wheres my brother?" Sesshomoru asked.
"I don't know. But I need to talk to you..." Kagome proceeded to tell him that he needed to stop the war because she had never been harmed or threatened by the north and that she was going to return to her Kingdom in the east so that she could be home for a small while and comfert her people but then she needed to finish finding the jewel shards.
"And what of my brother?" Sesshomoru asked after they settled on a way to approach the north.
Kagome's eyes flash with an intense pain and she looked away.
"What did he do?" Sesshomoru demanded.
"It's nothing that I want to speak of." Kagome breathed the words and walked out of his office and out to the gardens.
Kagome? Kagaru's voice sounded in her mind.
Yes Kagaru what is it? Kagome asked.
Sango is coming to the castle to talk to you. Kagaru said.
Kagome was shocked into silence.
~*~*~*~One Week Later~*~*~*~
Kagome stood just outside the castle gates waiting for Sango to appear. She looked up and smiled.
~*~*~*~xxXxXxXxx~*~*~*~
