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

Once assuring herself that she was indeed holding Shippo she turned wide curious eyes onto Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru gave her a simple nod that she took to mean he would explain later. She smiled brightly and stood still clutching Shippo to her chest.

She looked at Sesshomaru still smiling brightly, "If I may be excuse for some air in the gardens Sesshomaru-sama?"

Sesshomaru smirked he knew what she wanted and decided to go ahead a quietly explain it to her in the garden. With a nod he escorted her into the gardens along with Shippo neither noticed that the rest of their pack had followed them into the gardens. They took a seat on a bench under a sakura tree.

Kagome spoke lowly, "How is this possible Sesshomaru?"

Sesshomaru smirk and spoke just high enough for the rest of the pack that was hiding in the bushes could hear. "It took quite a while however I was able to find a witch that had a spell to restore life that was wrongly taken. She was hidden away deep in the mountains."

Kagome's eyes where wide as she listened intently to what he was saying. "You were able to find her but why is she hidden away?"

Sesshomaru nodded his head, "Indeed I was able to find her. As to the reason to why she is hidden away would you not hide away if you had this type of spell?"

Kagome considered this for a moment, "Your right many people would be after her and as you said the spell only works on a life that was wrongly taken. If she was not able to bring someone back people would hold her accountable and try to harm her or even kill her. What did you give her to bring Shippo here back?"

Sesshomaru smirked, "Indeed that is true which is why her payment is a home in the mountains behind the palace. This way she is protected and hidden from any that would seek her out."

Kagome smiled brightly, "Thank you Sesshomaru for everything."

Sesshomaru smirked and placed a light kiss on her forehead, "You are quite welcome Kagome. I am glad you like your gift and I am glad that the kit is now back with us."

Shippo grinned up at Sesshomaru, "Thank you Sesshomaru-sama."

Sesshomaru grinned at Shippo and gathered him into his arms, "Think nothing of it Shippo."

Shippo grinned and nodded his head then nuzzled back into Kagome's belly.

Sesshomaru looked up toward the windows of the ball room, "Perhaps we should return to the festivities."

With that they stood and made their way back inside. Sango and Miroku made their way over to Kagome and smiled brightly. Shippo jumped into Sango's arms to give her a hug. He did the same to Miroku then was introduced to Sakura and Megumi.
