A few days later Hatsumomo presented her findings to the demon court. There were appraisals and then suddenly an old tree demon spoke. Bokuseno was the wisest in the land and while he held no title, his sheer age was enough to get the attention of the nobility present.
"She is the descendant of Midoriko." Immediately murmurs and gasps were heard. Hatsumomo herself raised an eyebrow.
Midoriko had been a close friend of hers and a great ally to the demon race. It was through her that the first youkai-human negotiations had begun putting an end to the bloody wars that had ravaged the country. While the humans may have forgotten Midoriko, the youkai court still held the woman in high honor because it was she who had made their very existence possible. Hatsumomo wondered if Kagome herself knew the power she held as the descendant of Midoriko.
"We accept her then." One of the elder nobles spoke. Soon murmurs of agreement were stated and Hatsumomo smiled. She'd known from the beginning that Kagome was exceptional.
