To Taint A Pure Soul

by Kira Hatake

There are two sides to every soul a tainted black side and a pure white side. Kagome is the purest being alive but after the well is destroyed in a battle and she can no longer return to her family in the future. Then the betrayal of those she called her friends and family from the past. Stranded with no one to turn to will the darkness that resides in every soul overcome our dear

XXVII.

True to his word when Kagome awoke the next morning Sesshomaru was back leaning against a tree in his favored position.

Kagome smiled brightly at him, "Good morning Sesshomaru."

Sesshomaru smirked at her, "Good morning Kagome our mothers have been informed of the situation and are awaiting our return."

Kagome grinned happily, "Alright would you mind hunting something for breakfast while I set up everything else so that the food is done when they wake up."

Sesshomaru simply nodded his head and disappeared into the forest. Kagome giggled as she went about setting the fire back up and finding some sticks to roast the meat on for them. It was not long before Sesshomaru returned with some rabbits already skinned and ready to be cooked. Kagome put them over the fire. The smell of food cooking woke Sango and Miroku.

After a yawn Sango hummed, "Mmmm something smells good."

Kagome giggled as she pulled the rabbits from the fire and handed one to Sango and one to Miroku. When she went to hand one to Sesshomaru he shook his head.

Glancing at Sango he spoke, "Give it to Sango she will need all the nutrients she can get."

Sango blushed, "Thank you Sesshomaru-sama. Hey Kagome are we going home today?"

Kagome nodded her head as she handed Sango the other rabbit. "Yeah it will be nice to just go home and relax for a little while."

Sango smiled but then frowned, "Hey Kagome I think I should stay with Lady Megumi and Lady Sakura when you guys set out again."

Kagome nodded in understanding, "I agree Sango we have to watch out for my little niece or nephew after all right."

Sango giggled and looked at Miroku, "Oh Miroku I love you so much."

Miroku smiled softly at her, "I love you as well my dear lovely Sango."

Kagome looked at Miroku and could see the pain and sadness in his eyes. Wishing there was something she could do to help him but knowing he did not want her to. All she could do is help him become stronger just as she promised she would. She just hoped that the sadness and pain would leave him with time.
