Naomi left them outside, and went into Kaede's hut saying, "May I ask you something?" The elderly woman looked up at the young woman saying, "Ye may I shall try my best to answer."

Naomi responds, "I have the feeling I have met these people before, in fact, I had figured out InuYasha's name without anyone telling it to me. There are two other things as well his half-brother Sesshomaru I met him and had a feeling that I belonged with him although he was not yet ready for me. Also, there is a strange mark on my shoulder that has been there since I was five."

Kaede thought a moment before responding, "Ye are telling me ye has only been here 18 years and have grown at a human rate?" When Naomi nodded, she continued saying, "I have heard of time spells that could cause those feelings. As far as the mark goes, I couldn't tell you much without seeing it."

Naomi sat down and exposed her shoulder to the woman. Kaede looked at the mark carefully, and said, "The Western lord has a mark similar on his forehead but this one I have never seen before." A female voice asked, "May I look?"

Naomi figured what could be the harm she didn't know the woman, but she had a peaceful aura. She nodded yes, and allowed the stranger to inspect her shoulder. After seeing the mark, she said, "You are destined to mate my son Lord Sesshomaru of the Western lands. I am InuKimi, and if you wish to be mated out of love, then I suggest you not let him know you are an Inu Miko."

Naomi looked at her shocked asking, "How did you know?" InuKimi smirked saying, "My dear you have demon markings on your neck that run down your shoulders. I would assume you don't normally hide them as your clothes usually hide them."

Naomi looked at her she had forgotten it had been so long since she had bathed unconcealed InuKimi then added, "The other symbol inside my son's royal crest is that of the Jewel of four souls."

Kaede looked at the demoness saying, "That would explain a lot but doesn't answer the question about feeling as if you have done this before. Perhaps the Kami's know my hunch is someone used a time spell, and there is a kami trying to help you return to the life you once had."

InuKimi said, "If someone messed with the timeline the Kami's would be quite angry and would do anything in their power to restore it to what it once was."

Naomi sighed saying, "Well once Naraku is taken care of there is one other I am supposed to end named Onigumo." Kaede's eyes widened in shock saying, "But they are the same!"

Naomi took in what Kaede said replying, "The spider Hanyu dies now, and this Onigumo is a full golden Inu one of the last of his kind. This is all the information the Kami's graced me with."

InuKimi said, "Perhaps they just have the misfortune of sharing a name as Onigumo is common." Kagome stepped in saying, "Are you ready to give me the training InuYasha is impatient to find the sword his Father left for him."

InuKimi chuckled, "He's so much like his Father General Inu Tashio wasn't a patient man."

Naomi looked at Kagome's stunned face saying, "Kagome this is InuKimi Sesshomaru's Mother. She wishes me to mate her son, and give her lots of grand pup's to love."

InuKimi wondered how Naomi knew what she wanted perhaps there was a time spell, and the Kami's were helping her along. Naomi motioned for Kagome to lie down on the cot. Once she did Naomi looked to InuKimi asking, "Would you like to aid me?"

InuKimi was surprised asking, "It won't hurt me as I am not a Miko."

Naomi smiled replying, "It won't hurt you all you have to do is keep the energy I send over in her leg. You will need to touch her calf, and thigh I believe you'd be a good candidate to sense it and keep it in place. If not I will have to do one at a time, and it would cause an imbalance in her. I fear the only one else able to do so is a perverted monk. No offense to Kaede but her age would cause her to become weak, and tired quickly."

Kaede took no offense to it she knew this was a long process she would become too tried before it was completed. She also knew the monk was a bad choice as he wouldn't completely focus. InuKimi responded, "I shall aid you then."

She placed her hands on Kagome's right leg while waiting for InuKimi to do the same to the left side. Once the process of the legs was complete, she moved to Kagome's stomach, then chest, and arms. After the arms had been finished, she said, "Ok InuKimi you may wish to step out for the last part as I don't want you to be harmed by the holy energy."

InuKimi stepped out of the hut, and moved a safe distance away but stayed close she wished to feel Naomi's power. Within moments she felt a rise in holy energy and saw InuYasha head to the hut. She looked at him saying, "Only a fool would go near that hut now Naomi is educating Kagome in Miko training. You are liable to be burned by it as it now covers the hut."

InuYasha ignored the woman and continued until he came to the monk who said, "Going any closer would be most unwise even for a Hanyu such as you." InuYasha who was impatient to get his Father's sword continued forward saying, "I am getting that wench now!"

He continued until he was thrown back by the holy energy and found his body to be burned as well as some of his hair singed he landed next to Miroku who stated, "I tried to warn you. Wait until they are done." InuYasha sat with a scowl on his face he would have to wait. But when they did come out the boy was he going to give them a piece of his mind.
