AN: I'm so happy everyone liked my last chapter. Now I only hope you guys enjoy this next one. And another thing… For those of you who already voted, you can't vote more than once because I really don't find it fair for pairing polls. I'd also like to make a correction on something I wrote about Goliath. His skin coloring is a bit of a dark lavender, rather than grey. My mistake entirely, I haven't seen Gargoyles for a few years and I'm still trying to find the first season DVD's for sale rather than renting the entire first season.

I'd like to thank SilentCritic, lildevil0644, KannaKyomu, bee 3, Demonic kunoichiKagi, HentaiVixen, hermonine, Banana Flavored Eskimo, Kagome Yuki Niwa, vampirekagomejc, karaku-chan, honey-senpai, Taeniaea, TaiOokamiYoukai, Aashni, MIMI, Fire-Fox-Fairy, katelyn, tara, gerble, Ally, miss, ray, no name, silver, spirit, reviewer?, layla, cast off, A.J., love it, imagination, star, iheartanime43, nona, zoey tamagachi, Icess, story reader, insert long name here, Tandokude, DeathNoteMaker, FireFox ShadowWolf, youkai-fangirl­, WhiteDemoness11, blackwolf15, Kira, Elise (sorry for the suspense, hun.), barra Darthirii, "Me, Myself, & I", Fan, Ana, Only Me Not U, Izzy, Pixie Chikk, "Truth, Love, & Respect", Non-Flamer But A Pyro-Lover, BananaFlavoredEskimo (Don't know if it's the same reviewer), Shinsei Tondo, Going Going No Where, Wings of Tears, WutItDo, Sessho'sMami (Oo uhh, No habla Español. But I know you gave good compliments), AnimeLuvR789, Yoko'sSweetLuvR, DragonPrincess89, and me.

Now, I thought about the idea MIMI gave me through her review, as well as Nobodies Perfect Not Even You's but then Kagome Yuki Niwa gave me hers through a PM and I like it. I still plan to use Nobodies Perfect Not Even You's idea of Kagome being aware of everything around her through her stone sleep. Sorry, MIMI-san, I tried to fit your idea in but I just couldn't. But trust it was a really good idea.

And also remember that Elisa, in this chapter is on duty so she hasn't come to see the gargoyles yet. And since I don't remember Matt Bluestone that much, I'm gonna give Elisa a new partner. I'm just not gonna tell you who yet.

For Kagome pairing

Kagome/Brooklyn: 42

Kagome/Goliath: 38

For secondary pairings

Angela/Broadway: Permanent

Elisa/Kouga: 27

Elisa/Sesshoumaru: 4

Elisa/Goliath: 6

HOLY CRAP! Brooklyn's won by 8 votes! And Kouga looks like he's won Elisa. This is that last chapter for votes people, I'm sorry that the pairings you hoped for didn't win but there it a chance that I will make a Goliath/Kagome fic in the future with different plot. OR I could add him in with Kagome and Brooklyn, making a threesome… depending on how the fic progresses.

Now please enjoy the next chapter of "Awakening with Sorrow"

Chapter Four

Goliath and his clan were amazed at the sight that was before them. This new gargoyle was very unique in not only in her stone form, but she was truly one of a kind in the flesh.

Her skin was as pale as fresh snow on the first day of winter, making her raven black hair that reached her knees contrast with it. Her eyes were a deep blue reflecting her awareness of what's around her and a deep sadness they knew was probably from her past. Long raven bangs framed her face; almost covering those same sad blues eyes. The skin membrane of her wings was a bblue-grey color and her clothes looked like battle-torn robes that were stained with dirt, grass, and old blood.

She was truly a sight to behold.

A tear then slid down her cheek before lowering her before lowering her head and hugging herself. Soon sobs could be heard as the Higurashis quickly made their way to Kagome's side, worried about the memories of Inuyasha's death coming back to her.

Jí-chan stayed behind, watching his granddaughter in silent wonder. Even though the female who had awakened from stone was slightly different from the granddaughter he remembered eight years ago, he just knew that this was truly his granddaughter… and she was finally awake. This thought had his eyes water up in happy tears. The eldest Higurashi never thought that he would be able to see his loving granddaughter before his last days, and this truly made him happy.

Kagome though… even though she was aware of the changes around her while in her stone sleep, the pain of losing Inuyasha was still fresh no matter how much aware she was on the amount of time had passed. Not to mention the fact that she knew she wasn't in Tokyo anymore, and could never go back to the Sengoku era to change what had happened.

After she had calmed down some with a numb feeling in her chest, Kagome then felt her mother's warm embrace and her tears soaking a little bit of her hair. Kagome looked up and saw a group of creatures that resembled stone gargoyles she had seen on most gothic structures… only these were of flesh and blood. At first she was on edge about them until she felt no ill intent from them, only that they were curious about her.

Kagome lit it go; savoring the feel of her mother's holding her almost desperately. She may have been aware of her family always being there ever since before time stream led to her birth and growth, but it still felt good to be held by her family.

(Okay, during Kagome's sleep, she could sense everything that had happened during the 500 years she had been asleep. Meaning she could sense the birth of all her ancestors, her grandfather, her mother, herself, and Souta's. Everything, including the events that became historical in Japan.)

When seeing her son and younger brother, she was surprised to see how much they had changed- how much they had grown. Once her mother lit her go, Kagome hugged Souta and Shippó both as they did so in return.

Sesshoumaru then knelt next to her, calling her by her title to get her attention. It worked as she turned her head in his direction. Kagome smile, not only recognizing the crescent moon on his forehead but the feel of his aura as she threw her arms around him, making him fall from his kneeling position.

Due to her being so happy, Kagome accidentally let her miko energy pulse, purifying the guise into nothing and revealing his demonic features.

Everyone except Xanatos was surprised to see Sesshoumaru's dark hair change into silver with his eyes changing to a molten gold and markings appear in the blink of an eye. They saw his blunt fingers turn into claws, making them look long and slender. And the markings on his cheekbones didn't look like anything they've seen.

They then heard a chuckle from Shippó before saying with a cheeky grin, "Well, since Ojiue's guise is practically history now, I guess there's no harm for me to lose mine." And with that, his appearance changed slightly with his ears stretching to the top of his head and a bushy auburn tail appearing behind him. The pupil of his eyes also changed slightly to a bit of a slit, like a cat.

As Kagome unwrapped her arms from Sesshoumaru's waist, Jí-chan then stepped forward with a watery smile and dropped to his knees in front of Kagome before wrapping his arms around her, muttering that she was awake. His granddaughter was finally awake.

The miko wrapped her around the old man gently as she felt his warm tears fall onto her shoulder, reassuring her grandfather that it was all right and that she wasn't going anywhere.

During the entire reunion, the Xanatos' and the gargoyles were touched by how much the entire family looked happy to see their daughter, who was now a gargoyle, and didn't seem repulsed by her appearance. They accepted her fully, even after so long.

"Now that's what I call a family… despite the differences in breed of beings." Fox said aloud, but mostly to herself.

Xanatos and the gargoyles couldn't agree more. But something still bothered them about both Sesshoumaru and Shippó… Goliath then turned to Xanatos to ask him if he knew what they were but Xanatos answered, "Yes, Goliath. Both Mr. Taisho and Shippó aren't human. And they're not of Oberon's children either. The two of them are pure demons that have been around for five hundred years." He then added as an afterthought, "Although I'm not quite sure kind of demons they are."

Goliath's attention was then caught by Sesshoumaru's voice calling him and asking him to come over to them. The leader of the Manhattan clan stepped forward, making his way to the female gargoyle. Once he was close to where the rest of the family sat, Kagome looked up from the crook of her grandfather's neck and looked at Goliath curiously.

It was true that Kagome was surprised at first by Goliath's appearance but as she took in his features, he was unlike anything she had seen before with skin that was a dark lavender color. His bat-like wings were draped around his shoulders like a cape and had broad build. Four spikes protruded his hairless brows, high cheekbones, and a strong jaw… everything that was inhuman about him just made him look more fascinating. She also had to admit that he was handsome in a very masculine way with his dark charcoal hair reaching down his back, unbound and she could tell that he was strong, felt that he could very gentle. Kagome could see that in his dark eyes.

Kagome then heard Sesshoumaru speak to her in Japanese, "Miko… this is Goliath. He's a gargoyle… just like your current self." The miko then looked to him confused before looking at her self.

(Note that Kagome hasn't tried to stand yet)

She first looked at her pale claws, almost in a fascinated before feeling her face, pointed ears, and then looking at the rest of her body like it was foreign to her. When she came to her wings, she looked that them in awe before stretching one and smoothing a hand over the inside of the wing, feeling the almost pterodactyl-like wings texture before noticing that they had three small claws at the joint. Kagome also noticed her feet had changed with three talon-like toes and had a long pale tail as well.

'So this is what Naraku meant by "demon of the night"…' She thought before turning her attention back to her brother and the gargoyle who called himself Goliath. Seeing that he had got her attention again, Sesshoumaru continued, "Goliath is also the leader of his clan." The Taiyoukai then turned to Goliath, speaking in English, "Goliath… this is my younger sister, Kagome Higurashi. I, as well as the rest of my family, hope that you can take care of her…"

Goliath nodded, understanding what Sesshoumaru was asking. He then turn to Kagome, slowly offering his hand to, not only help her up, but to show her that he meant her no harm.

Slowly but surely, Kagome reached out her own and set it in Goliath's much larger hand before the male gargoyle squeezed it reassuringly and helping her up. The miko almost fell, not used to walking like she was wearing really high heels or with a tail that most beings used as a means for balance but Goliath caught her.

She gave him a smile that showed her thanks before Goliath return one of his own and offered to introduce her to the rest of his clan. Kagome nodded her head, before saying in perfect English, "I think I'd like that." Her answer surprised Goliath at first but he shrugged it off with a gentle smile of his own.

Her voice in English made Brooklyn catch his breathe. Kagome voice, to him, sounded beautiful with a soft sultry tone… like deep soulful music he usually listened to when Fox turned on the radio. His thoughts were cut short when he saw Goliath lead her to the rest of the clan as Kagome's family stood from where they sat.

Once Goliath was in front of Hundson, he started his introductions to make Kagome feel welcome, "Kagome, this is our elder, Hudson."

"'Tis a pleasure to meet you lass." Hudson greeted kindly, taking Kagome's small hand into his. He could tell that he was going to like Kagome very much. She seemed so sweet and soft spoken… yes; he was going to enjoy her company should she decide to stay with them.

"The pleasure is all mine, Hudson." Kagome answered with a smile. Hudson reminded her a bit of old Kaede with the way he spoke in old dialect, except in a Scottish accent. She had a feeling that he would have many great stories to tell of the olden days, not mention many words of wisdom.

Goliath then led her to a female gargoyle who had his hair and skin color before introducing, "This is my daughter, Angela. Next to her is her beloved, Broadway."

"It's good to finally meet another female gargoyle… even though I heard you used to be human." Angela was happy to meet another female gargoyle who wasn't one of her sisters from Avalon or her mother, Demona. Not to mention Kagome seemed like an interesting person to get to know.

"Yeah, it's really great to meet you." Broadway was also happy to meet Kagome. Heck, maybe she could teach him how to make some of those Japanese cuisines he'd been dying to try.

Kagome gave a chuckle at Angela's greeting, knowing that she was going to get along with her just fine… and Broadway too. Also, she thought that the two of them made quite a unique pair.

"This here is Lexington. He was the one who came into contact with Souta to help you wake from your slumber."

Lexington decided to put his Japanese to the test and greeted with a bit of American accent, "Dōmo Yoroshiku."

His attempt at Japanese both impressed and made Kagome smile, before she greeted him in Japanese, saying that she was pleased to meet him. She then said in English, "Your Japanese is really good. A little more practice, and I'm sure that you'll be able to speak it like a native Japanese."

"Heh thanks. Your brother, Souta taught me over the internet." By this time, Shippó excused himself, saying that he needed to get something from inside.

Kagome knew that Lexington was probably going to be like a younger brother to her.

Brooklyn grew more nervous as Kagome came closer to him with everyone she met one by one. He could feel his stomach do flips when she was speaking with Lexington and saying her thanks, grateful that Lex went out of his way to help. Then Goliath introduced him, "This here is Brooklyn, my second-in-command."

Brooklyn cleared his throat before greeting, "P-pleased to meet you… Kagome." Crap, he stuttered. He only hoped that Kagome didn't hear it. But he did like the way her name sounded.

Even though Kagome did catch his stutter, she almost stopped breathing that the sight of the crimson gargoyle whom called himself Brooklyn, was named Goliath's second-in-command. She had to admit that he was very unique and handsome in his own lithe way. He had a lithe build, a slim waist, and pterodactyl-like wings like hers, as well as a beak-like mouth with horns atop his head and long white hair. The one feature that really caught Kagome's attention was the color of his eyes that were a dark hazel.

Kagome couldn't help but find him attractive. Then again, she found most inhuman being attractive.

'That's what I get for spending the majority of my time around demons and hanyous.' She thought before she greeted Brooklyn with a smile, "It's a pleasure to meet you as well, Brooklyn." And then held her hand out to shake his. But instead of him shaking it, Brooklyn brought her hand up to his lips laying a light kiss on it. Simple yet sweet gesture made Kagome blush, what with it being rare that any new male showed any kind of manners to her.

"Dang, Brooklyn's quick to make the first move." Broadway muttered so that his crimson rookery brother wouldn't hear him. Lexington agreed but silently wished and hoped that Kagome would give Brooklyn what he'd been lacking in his life- something Maggie and Angela never gave him…

Love.

He could only hope that Kagome would fall in love with Brooklyn so that he wouldn't have to be so lonely.

A silence passed between Brooklyn and Kagome before Goliath cleared his throat and introduced Bronx to Kagome.

The Gargoyle miko thought that he was just awesome and cute at the same time. Bronx acted like any normal dog would but knew that he could be very vicious in battle.

Xanatos cleared his throat before introducing himself and his family, once he had Kagome's attention from her scratching Bronx's belly when he was lying on his back.

While meeting Xanatos and wife, Fox, Kagome concluded that they weren't such bad people… cunning and witty but they were good people. Owen, she could sense wasn't really human but a magical being in human form. And their baby son, Alex… Kagome just adored him. He was such a cutie, especially when he reached out his arms to her as if wanting her to hold him.

Kagome was hesitant for a bit as she looked to Fox, silently asking if it was okay. Fox just smiled, handing her son to the snow-white gargoyle. Once Kagome had Alex secured in her arms, she couldn't help but smile softly as the little one started feeling the softness of her cheeks before yawning and snuggling into her warm arms, lightly dozing off.

Xanatos and Fox couldn't help but smile themselves at how their son was son taken to Kagome. Fox then said to her husband that she would put their son to bed while Kagome got settled in.

After handing the now sleeping boy to his mother, Kagome watched as Fox left to put little Alex to bed. Once Xanatos was sure that his wife was inside, he turned to Kagome saying, "I must that my son seemed quite fond of you. He's got good taste."

The last compliment made Kagome chuckle before she replied, "Please, Mr. Xanatos… I just love children. That's all."

"And children seem to love you. I have a feeling that you'll make a good mother in the future." And Xanatos meant that. There was just something about Kagome that gave off an air of nurture and gentleness that a mother could only possess.

Souta smirked at that compliment before saying, "Of course, she's a good mother. Look how Shippó turned out…" he then paused before adding, "despite that he can be a playboy at times."

"Oh, gee, thanks a lot, Souta." Kagome said sarcastically. She already felt bad enough that she wasn't there for her kit when he was growing up, no use trying to rub it in.

Xanatos just chuckled, "either way, Shippó looks like a fine demon."

Soon after Kagome softly said her thanks, she, as well as her family, Xanatos, and Goliath's clan heard someone yell her name. The voice sounded so unforgettable that Kagome just felt dread when she heard the loud question, "Where's my woman?!"

Sorry for such a cliffhanger but I wanted to get this done for Valentines Day… Although it looks like I'm a day late.

Anyways, Happy Late Valentines Day!

I decided to stop the polls in this chapter. This fic is now a Kagome/Brooklyn pairing with an Elisa/Kouga as a secondary pairing. The pairing with Kagome might change a bit as the story progresses. You never know, this may even turn out to be a Brooklyn/Kagome/Goliath Threesome pairing.

But that only depends on how the fic turns out in future chapters.

For villains… I will say that Demona will appear every once in a while, same with Macbeth. And I may even bring Thailog in.

Well, that's all I have to say. I'm sorry for those who voted for any other pairings. I hope that it doesn't stop you from continuing to read this.

Please review. No more votes- Pairings are now decided. Ideas and Suggestions welcome, but flamers with flames are not.

And again, HAPPY LATE VALENTINES DAY!!!!
