Koga said out loud, "So for all, we know your name may not even be Naomi."

Onigumo grinned saying, "You'll never figure out who she is and I'm not going to tell you. She's mine for life or she will forever be alone."

Koga growled out, "At least we now know he can speak the truth. I believe we should hold him in jail until we find her family. I think Miroku is waiting he was hired by Sango she is waiting rather impatiently to hear about her friend's welfare."

The council collaborated saying, "We will contact all those families that lost a member around 14 years ago. For now, it seems this human Sango will make sure you're cared for properly."

Naomi smiled saying, "While I am happy to be with my friend Sango. I am at a disadvantage these gold bracelets I can't seem to take off and seem to keep me from properly defending myself. Onigumo may have held me prisoner, but he kept me safe from males that would claim me during a heat without my consent. He did do everything in his power to gain my permission but never tried to without it."

The council looked over the bracelets and even tried to remove them only to get nowhere. They could feel the power in the bracelets preventing her from transforming, using abilities, diminishing her strength, and making her claws softer than normal. Onigumo laughed saying, "I made it so that she could never leave me no matter what, she requires 24/7 protection."

The council said, "We will leave her needs in your hands, Koga, we need to get him into a secured cell while we try to figure his punishment. Keep us updated on her location and condition."

Koga took Naomi to Miroku saying, "I will need Sango's address Naomi will need to see a specialist." He handed Naomi a card saying, "Contact me if you need anything and when you are close to your heat you can stay with my mate and I to make sure your safe during that time."

Miroku eyed her suspiciously opening the car door and then getting into the driver's seat. Naomi sighed saying, "You have feelings for Sango and are worried because I am a demon."

Miroku's mouth hung in the air before replying, "How did you know?"

Naomi replied, "I am just sensitive to other's I can also tell you come from a long line of monks. Don't worry Miroku Sango is my friend and I have no intention of harming her it's why I went to such great lengths to protect her. I didn't want Onigumo to hurt her he is a demon too."

Miroku took Naomi to his office now that he was sure Sango was safe from harm. He watched as Sango got up tears in her eyes rushing over and hugging Naomi. She started sobbing, "Oh Naomi I was so worried about you."

Naomi held her gently saying, "I know Sango I am grateful to you, but there is something you should be aware. I am an Inu demoness, and not human in fact Onigumo is a demon as well."

Sango looked at her in disbelief until she realized that Naomi hadn't aged at all in the ten years they had been apart. Sango smiled saying, "My ancestors were demon slayers Naomi and while they would be mad at me for saying, so you have been nothing but kind to me. You even helping me with the housework while asking for nothing in return. I see my friend Naomi, not some demoness. A woman who got me several promotions and bonuses in my pay rate."

Naomi smiled saying, "Sango you are my friend your race never mattered to me. What I did while you were employed helped to pass the time. I was quite bored and cleaning with you was always fun and helped each day to pass. The days I hated most were the days you had off because that usually left me alone with him."

Miroku looked at the two women and no longer saw a human and a demon he saw two good friends possibly sisters even. Miroku politely said, "Shall I take you ladies home it seems Sango owes me a date."

Sango replied, "I can't leave Naomi alone after all she's been through." Naomi said, "What if you brought a friend Miroku we could double so to speak."

Miroku was surprised this was a very kind-hearted demoness. Miroku smiled saying, "I have a friend named Hojo he has it bad for a married woman named Kagome. I will ask him to come just to socialize with you, so you won't feel odd. I wouldn't want to pick a real date for you after all you have been through."

Naomi and Sango were transported by Miroku to her apartment as they arrived Koga was there with luggage saying, "We packed your clothes for you Naomi we felt you'd be needing them. I know we had you leave without time to pack and since it's now a crime scene you wouldn't be able to have access."

Naomi smiled saying, "Thanks for the help Koga." Koga replies "No problem it's all part of the job."

They watched as he left entering the apartment Miroku wanting to impress Sango took Naomi's luggage into the apartment. Naomi giggled poking Sango saying, "I believe he likes you."

Sango blushed saying, "He asked me to bare his children. He's a Hentai with his hands, but I think I like him too."

Naomi smiled at Sango saying, "As long as you're happy I am all for any relationship you wish with him." She turned to Miroku adding "If I were you I'd keep her happy last thing you want is an angry demoness."

Sango couldn't help but to laugh at how protective Naomi was of her. She knew the woman would make a great Mother if only they could find her family. Sango sighed she wasn't going to live forever Naomi would always have a home with her, but she wondered how Naomi would feel when she got married. She couldn't bear to leave the woman alone and defenseless. Naomi hugged the contemplating woman saying "Don't worry about it now Sango we will figure something out between now and then."

Sango chuckled Naomi always seemed to know when she was deep in worry. She knew Naomi was right it was best just to deal with today perhaps if Naomi got a good paying job they could get into a secure building so that if Sango left to get married, she'd feel better about her friend's safety.
