Chapter 31
When Miroku, Rin, and Sesshomaru had notice that the five dragons had not made a move against the two large dragons that stood in front of them, they could only guess that they were here to protect them under Kagome and Inuyasha's orders. However as soon as Naraku saw Maxwell leave his side and move Sango off of the white dragon he couldn't help but burst out into laughter. As Sango was placed by her husband's side she yelled out, "Shut up you bastard! You have no right to laugh!"
Before Miroku or Sesshomaru could ask what she was talking about, Naraku stood up straight as he looked at the pure white dragon before him and said, "My, my, my, look at my princess now. How am I to make you my mate now…Dragon Queen Kagome?"
"Kagome…then that silver one must be my…Inuyasha?" Rin whispered in an unsure voice.
"So now we're the masters?" Lucy couldn't help but tease.
"Not now Lucy." Lilly growled.
"She is not yours." Inuyasha growled out in a dragon like voice that everyone could hear.
"So you even made it so that you can still speak. Very impressive however she is still mine, she gave me her word." Naraku growled with an evil glint in his eyes.
"I did that only so that I could completely free my mother and father from your hands." Kagome growled as she stood up and got ready to attack. "If you dare try that again you will only be stopped by her dragon."
"Then I suggest you stop this foolish spell and come join me." Naraku growled.
"She isn't yours!" Inuyasha growled as he charged at Naraku.
While Inuyasha began their final battle, Kagome turned her large body around and surrounded the others with her large, clear wings. Once she was sure that they were all safe, she turned sad eyes and faced Sango to say, "I'm sorry but I had no other choice. I had to do this."
"I know…I know." Sango whispered as she reached up to pet Kagome.
"Wait, are you going to stay this way?" Rin asked.
"Kagome…will my brother remain this way as well?" Sesshomaru added.
"You are aren't you?" Miroku asked.
As she removed her wings to go and join Inuyasha, Kagome turned her back and said, "As of now Maxwell, Helios, Dante, Lucy, Lilly, and Sora will look after and raise our son…he is now the heir to these lands."
"Where is Shippo?" Miroku asked.
"He is safe; Maxwell will take you to him once we have finished here." Kagome answered before she took to the sky so that she could try to see an opening for her and Inuyasha to use.
Before anyone could say or do a thing, the six dragon demons charged and began to battle alongside their masters. Even if Kagome and Inuyasha were now the ones that looked like dragons, they were still the ones that were rulers of the lands and they would still be listened to. Just as Naraku was about to cut off Inuyasha's wings, Kagome pushed Inuyasha and used her wings so that they were only torn. Once she was sure he was alright, Kagome growled at Naraku as she heard Rin call out, "Are you guys alright." as Sesshomaru cut off the tentacles that had torn her wings.
"Damn it Kagome." Inuyasha growled out as he tried to get to her wounds only to be pushed back as Naraku charged at him while he was protected by a barrier that wouldn't allow anyone's attacks other then Kagome's or Inuyasha's through it.
"Kagome…you need to get these treated." Sango was heard as she was brought over to Kagome by Dante.
"Looks like we won't get the chance to." Miroku was heard as he and Helios blocked the demons that were not scared away by Kagome and Inuyasha.
"Sango, make sure you stay with Lilly this time." Rin was heard as she ran forward and made sure that her mate kept Naraku busy with Inuyasha's help before she cut off the tentacles that were growing on his back.
"Princess Sango, please do not leave my side." Lilly was heard as she created a protective circle around Sango with black vines surrounded with poison filled thorns.
"Go, I'll be fine." Kagome growled as she closed her eyes while Dante and Helios came to her aid.
"Lilly, will this follow us?" Sango asked as she pulled her weapon back while drawing her sword.
"Yes, it will Princess Sango." Lilly answered.
"Then lets go, Dante, Helios…I trust you two will be alright." Sango stated.
"They will be fine. Helios go and help our King." Maxwell was heard.
"Bossy much." Helios growled before he did what he was told anyway.
"I don't need help…Inuyasha!" Kagome roared as she charged forward knowing that she would only have once chance to save him from Naraku's attack.
Just as she thought that she was not going to make it, Kagome forced herself to take to the sky as Inuyasha did as well while the others attack. Once the two of them were together, Inuyasha and Kagome looked into each others eyes knowing that they had no other choice. If they did what they had to, they knew that they would not see their friends for a long time. Kagome locked eyes with her intended and said, 'We can't wait any more, we have to kill him now.'
'Feh, I know wench. Just don't get hurt again.' Inuyasha replied.
'I love you.' Kagome whispered.
Before anything else could be said or done, Inuyasha and Kagome stopped trying to stay in the air and aimed at Naraku. Knowing what they had chosen to do, Maxwell and the other dragon's quickly pulled everyone back and away from Naraku. Sango watched with tear filled eyes as a dark blue light surrounded Naraku, Kagome and Inuyasha. Once the light had dimmed, Sango ran as fast as she could to look for her sister only to find nothing but Naraku's ashes and a pool of blood.
"Kagome! Kagome!" Sango cried out as tears ran down the side of her face.
Once Rin and Sesshomaru had reached them, Miroku turned around only to find all six dragons gone. All expect for Maxwell. Once he was sure that he was not going to go anywhere, Miroku walked other to the black dragon and asked, "Where are they?"
"They are resting, I'm afraid it will take them a few years for them to heal." Maxwell answered.
"Why can't we see them?" Rin asked.
"They have to be protected, Princess…no, Queen Sango, Queen of the Taijiya, will you look after these lands until her son is old enough to rule?" Maxwell asked.
"Wait, how long will they be gone?" Sesshomaru asked as he took a step toward the dragon demon.
With a grin on his face, Maxwell well took a step back and answered, "When all dragons that were born in these lands have returned home, they will have the full power to completely heal. When I have taken my true form back our King and Queen will awaken."
"So now what?" Miroku asked.
With a sad smile on her face, Sango turned to face her husband, Rin and Sesshomaru and said, "Well look after Shippo and her lands. She'll be back…just you watch."
Years had passed since that day and now the lands of miko country were filled with dragon demons living in peace with the miko's and monks that would later on become their masters. While Emeri helped rule the lands and bring order back, Sango and Miroku began their lives with their beautiful daughter. However they were all brought back together to the west where they had all met for one reason and one reason alone. Shippo, the young small kit that had lost both his parents, was getting married.
While all the nobles, lords, Kings and Queens stood proudly to watch the son of the two people that had killed the demon that would have destroyed them all, Shippo couldn't help but wish that his mother and father were both there. 'Oka, Otu, I will make you proud…I'll rule our lands until your safe return…' Shippo thought as he took in a deep breath and turned to face his very soon to be mate. She was a fox demon like her, they had met when Shippo had agreed to travel to one of the outer villages that needed some help. With a smile on his face he looked at his mate and asked, "Are you ready to be my mate?"
"I've been ready for a long time…you know we could wait…until your parents are completely healed." She whispered as she reached for her lover's hand.
"No, we can't wait any more; Emeri can't take doing my job." Shippo answered, "Its time we had our own family."
"I agree." She whispered.
Once he felt that she was ready, Shippo led the way to the main hall. As they walked in all the nobles, Lords, Kings and Queens that were invited grew very quiet and very still as the two walked in and toward Miroku. Although he was the King of Taijiya country, he was still a monk and could still perform the rights so that Shippo and his intended, Yuki, would become proper mates. Once they had reached Miroku, Shippo turned to his uncle and said, "We're ready to become mates."
"Very well then, King Inutaisho, Queen Izayoi, may I bless this mating here in your lands?" Miroku asked as he turned to face the two.
"I, King Inutaisho, grant you permission to bless this mating in my lands."
"I, Queen Izayoi, grant you permission to bless this mating in my lands."
Nodding with a grin on his face, Miroku turned to face all the guest that stood before him and said, "Here before you all I will bless this mating so that Shippo, son of the Queen of Dragons and the King of Dragons, will have a happy and long life with his mate at his side. Shippo, Heir to miko country, present your mate before us now."
"We, the guest of the King of the west will stand before this mating and witness it now." All the guest replied.
"I, Yuki, except all the responsibilities that I will be given as the mate, first Demon Princess, of miko country."
Just as Miroku was about to begin the ceremony, every stood still as they heard the sounds of the guards that were guarding the doors being thrown around. Just as Sesshomaru and Rin were about to run out, the doors were thrown open with a guest of wind. Sango quickly turned around only to freeze in pure and utter shock. There before everyone stood Kagome alongside Inuyasha. Inuyasha looked around the room before he locked eyes with Shippo and said, "Feh, couldn't you just wait one more day runt?"
"Otu?" Shippo whispered.
As soon as he had whispered that all the guest in the room quickly bowed down to the King and Queen of dragons. While Kagome happily hugged her crying sister, Inuyasha walked over to his parents and asked, "Would it be to much to ask if we post postpone this for a day?"
"Really Inuyasha, you just get back home after a century of being gone and that's all you have to say to your mother?" Izayoi hissed in a gentle voice before she pulled her son into her arms.
"Oka!" Shippo called.
Knowing that Sango was alright, Kagome pulled away from her and turned to face her son with a smile on her face. As soon as she saw her son's soon to be mate bowing down to her, Kagome walked over to the girl and said, "Yuki, you will be my daughter in a matter of moments, please do not bow down to me."
"Feh, to think you would want to spend some time with our son." Inuyasha growled as he pulled out of his mothers arms to join his mates side.
"Just where the hell have you both been!" a very annoyed Rin was heard.
"I'm sorry Rin but we just needed to get our rest, we're fine now." Kagome answered.
"That still didn't answer her question." Sesshomaru was heard.
"Damn it Kagome, you left for so long, I have a son and a daughter that need to know their aunt!" Rin growled in anger.
"I don't think this is the time or place for this." Inutaisho was heard.
"Oh, right…"Rin whispered as she took a step back.
"Miroku, will you allow me to do the blessing?" Kagome asked as she walked over to him.
"Kagome, I was waiting for that question." Miroku answered with a smile on his face as he stepped down so that Kagome could take his place.
"Feh, keep your eyes on your own wife monk." Inuyasha growled.
"Otu." Shippo growled.
"Shall we begin?" Kagome asked as she waited for all of the guest to stand up.
"We will be witness to this mating." They all repeated once more.
"Very well then." Kagome stated as she turned around to face her son and his soon to be mate. "Do you Shippo, heir to miko country and heir fourth heir to the west, except Yuki to be your mate?"
"I do." Shippo answered.
"And do you Yuki expect my son for who he is and the responsibilities that he will have and given to you as well?" Kagome asked as she locked her now glowing eyes with the fox demon that stood before her.
"I fully expect Shippo, my mate, for who he is and for the troubles that he may be led to. I will always stand by him no matter what." Yuki stated in a calm and loud tone.
"Even if you disagree with my mates actions against your mate you will stand before her? You're Queen?" Inuyasha asked in a serious tone as he stood next to Kagome.
"I will." Yuki immediately answered.
With a smile on her face, Kagome walked over to her son and said, "Shippo, mark your mate."
With a smile of his own, Shippo pulled his mates hair to the side and bit down on her. Just as he was finished, Yuki bit down on him as well. Before anyone could say or do a thing, Kagome had surrounded them in a brilliant blue light and said, "From this day on word, you two will live together side by side. Even in death and in your next life, you will always have your one true mate."
Once that had been done, every busted into cheers as they waited for the celebrations to being. Even is she had missed the growth of her son, she knew that she now had a full life ahead to raise a second and more children so that she and Inuyasha could live in happiness. And if anyone tried to destroy this peace and happiness that she now had she would not hesitate and kill the bastard that would try to do such a thing. 'After all, I am the Queen of Dragons…who has ever heard of a kind dragon?' Kagome thought with a grin on her face as she began to catch up with her family before she headed back to her country to take over her lands like she had wanted all those years ago.
