A/N: Okay, let's see how far my creativeness is willing to go tonight shall we? Love you all and remember to read and review. Seems like most of you want Kags to kick General Tai's ass. Well she does to an extent, but she saves her savagness for later on if the story goes the way I like. Let's hope it does.
'Don't hold anything back. Show him we are not weak.'
Kagome's beast said and Kagome shook her head.
'I don't wish to hurt him, mearly show him I"m not weak.'
"M'lady, I don't want to hurt you."
General Tai said and Kagome growled at him.
'Fuck it, I'm kickin his ass.'
'Finally.'
Kagome twirled her swords, charging them with her youkai and miko powers before running towards General Tai. He brought his sword up to block, but the charged energies in Kagome's swords gave them an extra boost of power and they broke through his sword and pierced his body. Kagome called back her miko powers and channeled a huge portion of her youkai through her sword into General Tai's body. When she was satisfied that enough of her youaki was in his body she grabbed the hilt of her swords and pushed off from him, landing in a crouch across the room from him.
She stood up and sheathed her swords.
"Giving up already m'la-"
General Tai stopped talking when Kagome turned and smirked at him. She gave the command and her youkai paralyzed his body completely. He fell to the ground unable to move. Rin and Shippo ran over to Kagome.
"Kaa-san, where did you learn to do that?"
Shippo asked and Kagome's smirk turned into a sweet smile as she looked at her son.
"I didn't, I just came up with it. To be honest I wasn't completely sure it'd work."
They all turned to look at General Tai who was flaring his aura trying to be able to move again. Kagome walked up to his side and knelt down.
"Genearl Tai, it's impossible for you to move for at least another twenty minutes unless I retract the amount of my youkai from your system."
Kagome said and General Tai looked up at her and Kagome could tell by the look in his eyes that he was admitting defeat. She smiled before placing a hand on his shoulder and calling her youkai back to her. When she was done she stood up and helped General Tai to his feet.
"My sincerest apoligies m'la-"
General Tai started, but Kagome cut him off.
"I do believe I told you to call me Kagome, Tai."
Kagome said with a smile and General Tai looked at her in shock before bowing low.
"My apoligies Kagome."
He said as he stood back up.
"It's all good. Well training is over, who's up for a bath?"
Kagome asked turning to look at her children. Shippo looked like he was about to complain before Kagome gave him a look and he just nodded.
"That's what I thought. Come on, once we bathe we can eat."
Kagome said leading the way to the dojo's exit, but stopped in the doorway.
"Hey Tai, can you tell Akin that we've already gone to the hotsprings. Thanks."
Kagome said and left once Tai nodded his understanding.
Once Kagome was sure Rin and Shippo were clean she told them to go back to the room and get dressed. Once they left Kagome dunked under the water of the hotspring and stayed under the water's surface as she thought of what was to come.
'So in two days I'll be introduced as the daughter and heir of the Eastern lands.'
Kagome thought and her beast responded.
'Hai. What is wrong?'
'Nothing is wrong, but something seems to be...missing.'
Kagome said to her beast as she resurfaced.
'Explain.'
'I'm not sure I can. When I was traveling with Miroku and the others I was happy the majority of the time and I knew what I wanted. But now...now I'm not exactly sure what I want anymore.'
Kagome thought as she laid back and floated on the water's surface.
'You want Naraku dead and the jewel gone.'
'Yes, but that's not all I want.'
Kagome said with a sigh.
'What else do you want?'
Her beast asked and Kagome sighed again.
'I'm not sure and that's what's bothering me.'
Kagome said and closed her eyes.
'You are a complicated master.'
Kagome laughed at her beast.
'As true as that may be I don't know what to do. I know I want something, but I'm not sure how to figure out what that something is.'
'Don't worry so much about it. If you are meant to have it it will come to you.'
Kagome sighed when she realized her beast was right. She bathed and toweled off, then put on a robe and found her way back to her room.
There was a kimono and a note on her bed. Kagome smiled as she put on the dark green and white kimono with the crest of the Eastern lands. She left her hair down and headed for the dining hall.
Sesshomaru reluctantly returned to his palace. He had followed the scent of Rin's blood and the other scent but it ended when he reached a river. He had lost his ward and he couldn't do anything about it. All he could do is hope that she was alright.
"Open the gates! Lord Sesshomaru returns!"
The guards yelled as Sesshomaru walked up to the gates. He slipped inside and walked towards his study only to be joined by his cousin Sai.
"What's wrong cousin?"
She asked and Sesshomaru ignored her. She stepped infront of him making him stop short.
"Sesshomaru answer me!"
Sai ordered and Sesshomaru looked up at his cousin. Her white hair was in a high ponytail and she was in a simple yet elegant kimono. It's white sleeves and blue back hugged her figure nicely and made the two demonic stripes on her cheeks stand out. Her golden eyes bored into his.
"Rin. She is gone."
Sesshomaru said just barely above a whisper, but Sai still heard him.
"Oh! Sessh I'm sorry. I know how much you cared for her. If I didn't know you I'd say you acted like a father to the girl."
Sai said and Sesshomaru simply looked at her with his mask of indifference, but she could see in his eyes that he was truely upset. She was one of the only people who were able to read him even though his mask was up.
"How did I not realize she was missing?"
Sesshomaru asked more to himself than to his cousin.
"It's okay Sessh, I'm sure she'll be fine. You'll find her."
Sai said as she helped her cousin to his study. Once he was seated behind his desk she left and walked around the palace.
"Maybe burrying himself in paperwork will help him keep his mind off her for a bit. Where did you go Rin?"
Sai asked herself as she walked past a group of servants. She stopped when she heard something interesting.
"Did you hear that the Easter Lord and Lady are throwing a ball in two days time?"
A servant with dark brown hair to her shoulders and light blue eyes asked.
"Hai, but what about? What do they have to celebrate?"
Another with black hair down to her waist asked.
"Didn't you hear? They say their daughter has returned."
The brown haired servant said and the black haired servant's eyes widened.
"What! The daughter of the East is back?"
"Hai, and if I heard correctly she has two children with her. A kitsune and a human girl."
Sai smiled to herself as she walked back to her room.
'A kitsune and a human girl? I'll have to check this out for myself. Sessh doesn't need anything distracting him right now.'
Sai thought as she prepared a gift to give to the Lord and Lady of the East. She'd leave after dinner.
Sai smiled at her decision and headed down to the dining hall and enjoyed her meal with her cousin even though he was lost in his own little world. After the servants cleared away the trays Sai nodded to her cousin and headed up to her room, grabbed the gift and left for the East. She'd see for herself if what she thought was true or not before she said anything to her cousin.
"Kagome, is something wrong?"
Theron asked and Kagome's head shot up.
"Oh no! Nothing's wrong. What makes you ask?"
Kagome asked with a small blush on her face. She wanted to ask, but she was afraid of what they'd say.
"It just seems like something is on your mind dear. Is there something you want to ask us?"
Cyan asked and Kagome sighed as she picked at her food. Rin and Shippo had already finished their food and run off to play.
"I was wondering, how did you guys know about the well?"
Kagome asked. It wasn't the main question she wanted to ask, but it was one of them.
"We'd known about it and it's powers for years."
Theron said looking at Cyan and she nodded before continuing for him.
"I had known about it for years before I met your father. As a miko I had a duty, like any other, to protect humans from any danger. You're encounter with mistress centepede was somewhat my fault."
Cyan said and Kagome looked at her confused.
"I thought Midoriko trapped her inside the well so she couldn't do anyone any harm."
Kagome said and Cyan shook her head.
"She did, but at one time Midoriko's powers were weakened from the constant battle she wages inside the jewel of four souls and the spell she'd cast on mistress centepede and the well was broken. I was called to help fight against her, but I was unable to kill her. I sealed her back inside the well thinking I'd be able to do as Midoriko did."
Cyan said and Kagome listened to her every word.
"Then how did you two find out that the well was linked to the future?"
Kagome asked, the more she learned the more confused she got.
"That was accidental."
Cyan said with a small blush on her face.
"Some years after I sealed mistress centepede away I had decided to travel to the East and see if I could help people there. That's when I met your father. At that time he was just a young man."
"Who was in line for the throne. My parents wanted me to find a mate, but I didn't want to. All their choices for me turned out to be..."
He trailed off unsure of how to continue.
"Whores? Sluts? Bitches who only wanted you for your looks, power, and money?"
Kagome asked and both her parents looked at her surprised.
"Uhh, yes. So I had gone out one night and ran into a miko helping a young youkai who had been seperated from his parents. When I saw this I was confused and intriged by the miko. I had always been told that mikos wanted to kill my kind, and yet here was one helping one of my own. Days after I followed her everywhere she went and learned she helped any she could. She didn't care if they were human or not. After a while I finally decided to talk to her."
Theron said and Cyan smiled.
"That was the night I had gone to a cave in the side of the mountain in search of a youkai that demanded a sacrifice from the village living at the base of the mountain. I had found the youkai and it thought I was a sacrifice. It tried to kill me and we fought. It knocked my bow from my hands and pinned me down. I had thought I was dead and closed my eyes awaiting my doom, but it never came. I opened my eyes when I heard a howl of pain. I saw a huge silver haired inu with green streaks in his fur fighting with the giant weasel demon. The inu was standing over me protectively as he fought to make sure nothing happened to me."
"I had watched your mother go into the cave and I was worried about her. I had heard the same stories she had. That several monks and priestess had lost their lives trying to rid the village of the demon, but she showed no fear. She said she would rid them of their problem and headed into the cave. I followed her, just to make sure she was okay. When I saw her pinned beneath the weasel demon I lost control over my beast and transformed. I protected your mother and killed the weasel demon. I turned to check on the miko I had protected and saw fear in her eyes. She hadn't shown fear when facing the weasel demon, or any other thing, but when she looked at me she was scared. I lowered my head to her and slowly crept up to her. She stared at me for a while before she slowly reached out and touched my snout."
Theron said smiling as he remembered the day they were describing.
"I was scared out of my mind, but I sensed no ill will from the inu before me. When he lowered his head to me I slowly reached out to touch him. I don't know why, but I just had a feeling like I wanted to know what his fur felt like. When I did I felt his youkai flare and my miko power reacted to him. Then arms suddenly wrapped around me and I realized that the inu had changed into the man holding me. At first I freaked out, but then calmed when his youkai softly pressed against my miko powers. I realized that if he meant me harm then he wouldn't have protected me."
Cyan said as she reached out and took Theron's hand.
"So that's how you guys met?"
Kagome asked and they both nodded.
"Okay, but that doesn't explain how kaa-san is a miko demoness and how you guys found out that the well was connected to the future."
Kagome said and Theron sighed.
"Well after the day in the cave we kept meeting. No one knew. My parents just thought I went out to explore the other lands."
"And I was traveling around as it was. No one knew I was secretly meeting the heir to the Eastern lands."
Cyan said.
"Where did you guys meet? Wouldn't people find you if you were-"
"Kagome, where is the well located?"
Theron asked and Kagome looked at him confused.
"What?"
"Where is it located?"
He asked again.
"In a clearing in the middle of Inuyasha's Forest. Why?"
"Do you know what's so special about Inuyasha's Forest?"
Cyan asked.
"He was pinned to the tree after trying to take the jewel of four souls to become a fu-"
"That is the story most people assosciate with Inuyasha's Forest and although it is true, that is not the main reason Inuyasha's Forest is so famous."
Theron said and Kagome looked at him confused.
"Then why-"
"Inuyasha's Forest is located directly in the middle of all four lands. It belongs to all and yet none of the lands that govern this part of Japan."
Cyan said and Kagome's eyes widened. She'd never realized that Inuyasha's Forest was connected to all four lands in such a way.
"So then you guys met up..."
Kagome trailed off and Theron nodded.
"In the meadow where the Bone Eater's well sits. In Inuyasha's Forest."
Theron said and Kagome's heart sped up.
"So then how did you-"
"We were playing around. Your father was chasing me and I wasn't paying attention to where I was going and fell over the edge of the well."
"When I saw her disappear I raced over to the well and didn't think twice before jumping down. I wrapped my arms around her and moved so that I'd take the blunt of the fall, but instead of hitting the bottom we were surrounded by a swirl of colors. It felt like we were weightless and drifting through a place filled with colors."
Theron said and Kagome's eyes widened when she realized that's exactly how she felt every time she went through the well.
"Then we stopped. We looked around and realized we were at the bottom of the well. I helped Cyan up and jumped out of the well with her in my arms. We instantly realized we were not in Inuyasha's Forest anymore. When I set Cyan down she went over to the doors of the building we were in and opened them to show a world we had never seen before. I remember the smell being absolutely horrible."
Theron said making a face and Cyan laughed. Kagome smiled as she remembered what it was like when she went back with her new senses.
"We explored, never leave eachother's side. Then we met a young woman, no older than fifteen moons old. Surprisingly she didn't freak out when she found out that we came from the well or that Theron was a youkai. She led us into her house and served us tea and explained what her world was and the things they had. We were fascinated with all of it. Then an older man walked in the door and freaked when he saw Theron and his markings. He started yelling about demons trying to take advantage of his daughter and tried to attack us. Theron stood infront of me, baring his fangs to the man, but relaxed when the woman explained everything to her father. When everything had calmed down we all sat down again and talked. We learned that the woman's name was Furuka and her father's name was Jishou. They asked us about the past and we told them everything about us since they had been kind enough to tell us about them. Furuka offered to let us stay the night, but we declined saying we needed to get back. It was only then that we realized we didn't know how."
Cyan said with a smile. Kagome burst into laughter. She couldn't believe her grandfather had actually attacked her father. Theron and Cyan looked at her confused.
"I'm sorry. (giggle) It's just that grandpa was always (giggle) crazy when it came to demons. When he met (giggle) Inuyasha he flipped. It's good (giggle) to know he was always that way."
Kagome said in between giggles.
"Grandpa? So you still think of them as your family?"
Cyan asked and Kagome nodded.
"Hai. I'd spent the past eighteen years of my life with them. Even though they aren't my actual family I have so many memories with them. I still think of them as my family, just as I think of you guys as my family."
Kagome said truthfully and sighed in relief when Cyan and Theron smiled.
"So how did you guys get back if you didn't know how?"
Kagome asked. She wanted to know anything she could about her parents. She'd told them everything about her life, it was only fair that they did the same.
"Well we told them we were unsure of how to get back and Furuka asked how we got there in the first place. Cyan explained that she had fallen into the well and I told them I'd jumped in after to save Cyan since a fall from the top of the well would have killed her. Then we were enveloped in those colors and wound up there."
Theron said and Kagome giggled.
"Furuka said we should try to get back the way we came. She followed us to the wellhouse and waved us off and wished us luck. Then Theron picked me up and jumped into the well. We were enveloped in the void of colors again and when we looked up from the bottom of the well we saw starts instead of the top of the wellhouse. Theron jumped out and we realized we were back."
Cyan said and Kagome nodded.
"What did you do after that? Did you guys tell anyone about the well?"
Kagome asked in a rush making Cyan laugh.
"No. We agreed that to keep Furuka and her world safe that we'd keep it a secret. Theron bid me farewell and left for his lands. I headed for the village close to the well. I'd decided to go back home since Theron and I met near my village."
"So you were from Kaede's village?"
Kagome asked surprised. The next time she saw the old woman she'd have to ask her if she knew her mother.
"Hai, but Kaede was still quite young. I'm unsure if she would remember me."
Cyan said seeing the question in Kagome's eyes.
"I'd still like to ask the next time I see her."
Kagome said and Cyan nodded.
"I'm sure you would."
Cyan said and Kagome smiled.
Silence followed as Kagome debated whether or not to ask her next question.
"Are you out of questions already Kagome?"
Theron asked and Kagome shook her head.
"No. I have another question."
"What is it?"
Cyan asked and Kagome sighed.
"Well after I was born, why did you have to put me in the well? I know you did it to keep me safe, but what made it unsafe for me to be here?"
Kagome asked and saw Cyan's eyes fill with tears and curl up into Theron's side. He wrapped his arms around her and answered Kagome's question.
"Well, Cyan and I continued to meet after our adventure to the future and we fell in love. My parents still didn't know. I had finally asked your mother to be my mate and she accepted."
Theron said and Kagome leaned onto the table.
"And? What happened next?"
"Well, we mated and I marked your mother as mine."
"When I woke up I was different. I had claws, fangs, and my miko powers were reacting strongly against me making me sick."
Cyan said as she remembered when she'd changed.
"I woke up at the feeling of distress from your mother and found I was laying with a demoness. I jumped back thinking she had killed your mother and bedded with me without me knowing. Then she turned to face me and when I saw her eyes I knew it was Cyan. I felt her miko powers go wild and try to attack her and I stopped them with my youkai. It took a while, but eventually she managed to make her youkai and miko energies live withing her in harmony without trying to harm her."
Theron said with a smile.
"And eventually I learned to use both just like you have."
Cyan said and Kagome smiled with a blush covering her face.
"Okay. Then what happened?"
Kagome asked and Theron sighed.
"When we told my parents they weren't too pleased that Cyan was part miko, but they accepted her."
"Then what made you guys-"
"My parents may have accepted her, but the other Lords didn't. They said I was disgracing my family line by having mated with her. Even though she showed she was more loyal and had more strength than their mates they still didn't accept her. It only got worse when she got pregnant."
Theron said and Kagome could tell by his voice that he didn't like the memory he was telling.
"When the news spread of Cyan's pregnancy several assassination attemps were pulled by the other Lords, except for the West. They disliked me choosiing Cyan as my mate they still chose to leave us be. However, the other Lords weren't as tolerant. They didn't want Cyan to have her pup. When we confronted them they didn't deny it. They told us flat out that they refused to allow the abomination growing inside of Cyan to be birthed."
"We went into hiding within the Eastern walls. We stayed hidden for three months, which is the length of any inu woman's pregnancy. The other Lords started to think we'd disappeared but still had their assumptions. I'd wanted something to eat that we didn't have where we were hiding and asked Theron to go get it for me. If I hadn't done that then they wouldn't have known we were still within the Eastern palace."
Cyan said and Theron kissed the top of her head.
"It's alright."
"When Theron came back I went into labor. The other Lords learned that Theron and I were still within the East and sent their armies and assassins to take care of us. Theron stayed with me during your birth and his parents protected us the best they could, but lost their lives in the process. The assassins and armies of the other lands were relentless to all who stood in their way trying to protect us. They killed them all tearing through the palace trying to find us. Just as Theron told me it was a girl they burst through the doors. I was too weak to do anything, so Theron sheilded me and you with his body. They all came into the room and started to advance on us. They told us to give them our child and they'd leave. I told them no. I told them they couldn't have my Kagome."
Cyan said with a smile.
"I was surprised with the name but I nodded my agreement to my mate. They advanced towards us, then the most miraculous thing happened that even to this day I don't fully understand how it happened."
"What happened?"
Kagome asked.
"Just as one of the demons from the Southern army stepped forward to attack we were all enveloped in a pure pink light. I didn't know what was happening. I just shut my eyes and held onto you and Cyan. When I opened my eyes we were in the meadow in Inuyasha's Forest. Cyan asked me how we got there, but before I could answer we heard a voice. It told us to place you in the bottom of the well with a note to Furuka and her father to take care of you until you came back to us. We did as it said, we didn't find out until later that that voice was the voice of Midoriko. Though we couldn't figure out where she came from-"
"She came from the jewel within me. When I first came here and mistress centepede attacked me she tore the jewel from my body. Midoriko was speaking to you from within me."
Kagome said and Theron and Cyan's eyes widened.
"From within you? I remember you telling us that the jewel was within you, but how?"
Theron asked and Kagome sighed.
"You've heard of the priestess Kikyo."
Kagome said more than asked and both her parents nodded.
"You told us about her."
"Yes, well before she died she was in love with Inuyasha and he her. Naraku tricked them both and made them attack eachother. Inuyasha stole the jewel of four souls to become a full demon and Kikyo shot him with one of her arrows and pinned him to the sacred tree. He was pinned there and put under a spell for the past fifty years. I was pulled through the well by mistress centepede and instead of being crushed to death I released the spell she had placed him under."
"How could you release her spell?"
Cyan asked and Kagome sighed.
"Most people believe I could do it because I'm her reincarnation."
"You are not! You are our daughter. You're an original!"
Theron yelled and Kagome smiled.
"I've learned that that's not true. Just because Kikyo died while I was being born does not make me her reincarnation. I don't know what it means though, or why I was able to break her spell but all I know is that I did. As she died Kikyo took the jewel of four souls with her. Her body was burned along with the jewel. It traveled through the spanse of the undead and found its way to me as I was being born. That's all I know, and that's only because on the night after I first showed up in this time period Midoriko came to me in a dream and explained it. She told me she chose me because I had a destiny in this time. I didn't understand what she meant until now."
Kagome said with a smile.
"And what is that?"
Cyan asked.
"To rid the world of the hanyou known as Naraku and wish the jewel of four souls gone."
"What about-"
Theron started but Kagome held up a hand to stop him.
"And once that is done I will accept my place as heir to the throne. If you still want me to."
Kagome said and was suddenly hugged by both her parents.
"Of course we still want you to."
Theron said.
"We'd never not want you Kagome. You're our daughter. We lost you once and we don't want to lose you again. We love you."
Cyan said and Kagome felt tears in her eyes as she hugged them back.
"And I love you guys."
Kagome said as they pulled away and sat back down. They sat in comfortable silence for a while until Kagome remembered something.
"Hey, I got a question."
"What?"
"I understand that youkai challenge other youkai for different things."
"Hai..."
Theron said trailing off unsure of where Kagome was going with her question.
"I don't know why, but I know I'm going to be challenged for my right to rule after you guys. My question is why am I going to be challenged for my right to rule? I mean I'm your daughter and it's mine by blood, right?"
Kagome asked and Theron sighed.
"Hai it is yours by blood. But you have to realize. You've been gone for so long, and most people don't even know you exist. They will challenge you to make sure you are strong enough, both physically and mentally, to rule the East."
Theron said and Kagome was silent as she took in this new bit of information.
"Kagome?"
Cyan asked a little worriedly.
"That's a little messed up, but okay. What exactly is going to happen in two days?"
Kagome asked and Cyan and Theron both smiled.
"It is simply going to be a gathering of youkai and some other guests. The other Lords will there as well."
Theron said and Kagome could hear the tension in his voice.
"Don't worry about it otou-san. I'm stronger than I was when I was born. I'm fully capable of protecting myself."
Kagome said with a small smile.
"Yeah, but against a full blooded taiyoukai? And there will be three there."
Theron said and Kagome's smile widened.
"Don't worry so much. I've gone up against some pretty strong opponents."
Kagome said. She just didn't include that Sesshomaru was one of them.
'Sesshomaru's going to be there.'
Kagome thought.
'Good. Rin may not say it, but she still misses him.'
Her beast said and Kagome sighed. She knew it was right. The little girl still missed the taiyoukai.
'I'll talk to her tonight.'
"Kagome? Are you talking to your inneryoukai right now?"
Cyan asked, her voice a little curious.
"Hai. How did you know?"
Kagome asked.
"Your eyes. They change color like Theron's when he talks to his."
Cyan said with a small smile.
"Looks like I have some traits from you guys after all."
Kagome said with a smile and that reminded her.
"Oh hey, that reminds me. My inneryoukai said I'd get my demonic attributes when I take my place on the throne. Is that true? Or can I get them now?"
Kagome asked and Theron smiled.
"You normally would have gotten them when you turned five, but because you were sent to the future we had to bind your powers and demonic attributes. If you don't want to wait till you take the throne then we'll just have to do the Blood Ceremony."
Theron said and Kagome sweat dropped.
"B-Blood Ceremony?"
Kagome asked worriedly.
"Theron, she could always take a mate and-"
Cyan said but was cut off immediately by both Kagome and Theron.
"NO! NO MATES!"
Cyan looked at her mate and her daughter before laughing.
"Seems like you have more in common with us then you knew."
Theron said and Kagome blushed.
"How does this Blood Ceremony work?"
Kagome asked trying to change the subject.
"It's simple really. We simply exchange blood and your tie with us is strengthened and you get your demonic attributes."
Theron said and Kagome relaxed a little when it wasn't some kind of sacrificial thing.
"What's you think it was?"
"Nothing."
Kagome said with a blush and Theron just laughed.
'Wait a second. He said it would strengthen your bond with them. Meaning that you'd become more a part of the East right?'
'Hai. What are you getting at?'
Kagome asked her beast.
'Well, would it do the same for Shippo?'
'What do you mean?'
'I mean, if doing this makes you closer to your roots and family, then wouldn't Shippo doing this make him officially part of your family?'
Kagome thought about it and smiled when she realized that her beast might be right.
"Kagome?"
Theron asked bringing Kagome out of her thoughts.
"This ceremony, could my son Shippo do it as well?"
Kagome asked and Theron and Cyan looked at her shocked.
"You'd want him to become part of our family?"
Theron asked shocked and Kagome nodded.
"Is there anything wrong with that?"
Kagome asked a little warily.
"No. We just didn't know if you'd want him to join our family as well or not."
Cyan said and Kagome looked at her confused.
"As well?"
Kagome asked.
"Hai. We would love to have Shippo join our family, but we were just afraid to ask you."
Cyan said and Kagome smiled.
"I'll ask Shippo what he wants to do. When can we do the ceremony?"
Kagome asked as she stood up.
"As soon as you want."
Theron said as he and Cyan did the same.
"Alright. I'll talk to my son then get back to you. Thank you for everything."
Kagome said before hugging them both and heading off to bed. She was so happy to know something about her parents and her past before her life in the future. She was home, and she was happy.
She walked into her room to find Rin and Shippo laying on their stomachs playing a card game she'd taught them a few weeks ago.
"Hey guys."
"Hey kaa-san."
They both said in unison and Kagome smiled as she sat down on her bed.
"Hey Shippo. Can we talk?"
A/N: I love you all, and see I made this one longer. Hope I explained some things. Thanks lara5170 for pointing some of those things out to me. Please review!
