Sure hope you guys can think of a name soon :) I will try to wait off until Kagome wakes up for good. I sure hope you guys like this story so far cuz it isn't even 60 degrees down in my basement. I searched around a bit to look for names so I'm going to give the name and meaning, then tally up the favorites in reviews. I also found some for future children from the Inu's but I'm doing that later... way later.

Spiritual boy names:

Keitaro: blessed

Kannon: form of Kuan-yin who was Chinese Buddhist deity of mercy

Sachio: Fortunately born.

Teiji: Righteous; well governed

Reizo: cool; calm; well-groomed

That should be enough. Think I should have the twin girls from the Anime/manga show up in the story?

Chapter 11

Kaede ambled around through the huts, grouping the tally on herbaceous and medicinal plants, and then continued to check on the wounded or unwell. She saved Kagome for last as she checked her bandages, looking for the signs that she is healing well. Only finding small signs of infection she reasoned that it could be much worse for the young woman. Finishing up the tally of what all they need and how much they will need, she made her way over to Miroku and the dog demon.

"Priestess Kaede, I assume you have gathered the tally for what you need?" Touga inquired to her.

"Aye, Touga, I have." Miroku received the scroll she handed him as he took in the numbers.

"Oh my," Miroku looked panic stricken as he viewed the numbers.

"Monk, are you well?" Touga sniffed for illness upon seeing his pale face.

"I assure you I am fine, I just didn't expect such a high number in tally. I know just the place though to get the majority of our needs but I must warn it will not be just a couple trips for what we will need." He held his chin in thought before he looked back up to Kaede. "How long will this supply last?"

"Only a few days Miroku," She informed.

"What!" As it sank in he tried to recall just how many injured he had helped. "I don't recall so many injured that would require so much and none needing much more than a little paste."

"Ye are right Miroku but you forget about Lady Kagome. Infection has set in on many of her wounds. They won't heal for some time if her powers don't react quicker." She paused. "Something is causing it hard for her powers to help heal her; I believe she had to use much of it to purify the demons she had been attacked by. Her healing power at its peak for now would be a bit greater than a half demon, not including Inuyasha. They are almost the same as a human until her power has recovered."

"I wasn't aware that she had been so injured. I will help insure that she regains her health but I must ask that we don't speak of this around Sango; we don't need her to be worried while taking care of our son. She is still quite spent." The clearing of a throat brought their attention back to Touga.

"We will need to travel soon, would your family or the priestess be able to do so? We won't be able to take many stops." He waited for their answer as he tried to guess how far and how long the travel would take.

"I am certain Sango and the baby could in a couple days but if Kagome doesn't start healing correctly and fast then no. At this rate we could not afford to move her for several days. The travel will be the death of her." All of their thoughts turned to when Sesshomaru and Inuyasha will return.

"If you will please excuse me I want to send Kagome a prayer before we set off. Maybe it could help her." He bowed to them both and left to the second hut.

Touga meanwhile knew that he must think of another option for the woman he saved from the fire. He felt like it is his responsibility to look after her, some of it instincts, some of it something else, whatever it was that had compelled him to rise from the grave to answer the calling of her soul. "Lady Kaede, I wish to know how to make these pastes and other medicines for healing Lady Kagome. Should it come down to it, I will stay behind with her until she is able to travel. She will be safe with me."

Kaede weighed his aura, knowing that he is holding it back and has yet to reach his peak. Weighing her options, she found that she had no better solution but to entrust the younger priestess to the demon should the time come for such a thing. "Ye are right, her care would be best with you. But I must know; who are you? I know ye are Touga but I can see the likeliness between yourself and Lord Sesshomaru and Inuyasha."

"I am certain you already know exactly just who I am. I could smell it yesterday that you have already figured it out." His eyes gleamed as he awaited her reaction.

Though he got an odd reaction and much different than what he expected. She began laughing instead of any of the other things she could have done. "Ye are right my lord. Now it is confirmed that ye are who I thought ye be. Kagome though, will forever remain a puzzle to this old woman." She gave a mysterious smile before leaving to speak to presumably, Sango, and spoil the boy with affection.

"Old woman will never cease to amuse me I'm sure." He smiled lightly before turning around to ready the dragon and fire cat.

So what you guys think? Don't forget the baby names. I want them picked out before I put the next chapter up or I will just have to choose for myself. And should I bring up the twin girls who were in the Anime/Manga? I think it would be super cute to have them in this story!
