This must be a real treat having me upload all these chapters. Thank you everyone for your favs, pm's, alerts, and reviews. I am happy that so many are enjoying this story. I'm sorry about the delay with 15, I forgot to add the new chapter after I uploaded it lol. Oh and if anyone knows what they called diapers back in the day it would be cool.

Sayuri- Little lily, she wears the green kimono

Kohana- Little flower, in the pink kimono

Keitaro- blessed (had 4)

Kannon- 0 Sachio- 1 Reiza- 2 Teiji- 1

I went through all the reviews and I thank everyone but I can't believe only 1 person brought up the horse leg lol I had read about that in Legendary creatures of Japan on Wiki. It's called an Uma-no-Ashi and I for some reason pictured Miroku getting kicked by it. Thank you everyone for the interesting name and meanings, I might use them still.

Unfinished Conquests Ch. 16

"Inuyasha quit your moping and help out!" Sango yelled as she struggled to change her son's diaper. Her son had a habit of grabbing her long locks with a death grip. Miroku had gone who knows where so the girls were both tugging on her kimono as they bickered over who will play with mommy first.

"I DO NOT mope!" Inuyasha yelled in frustration, gaining the silence of the twins as they looked at him as if they didn't know he was there.

Sango turned around after having finished cleaning up Keitaro. The hard look on her face spoke of her frustration and a spike in hormones. "Then what do you call this?!" She gestured wildly at him with her right arm.

"Critical thinking," he smugly replied, having believed he won that round.

The laughter that reached his ears had him pausing in his thoughts of glory and he peered cautiously at his friend as he noted her sudden change in mood.

Sango couldn't help the peals of laughter that bubbled out of her chest. The thought of Inuyasha ever thinking before he acts and the term he gained from Kagome to say he was thinking very seriously about something as well just had her exploding. As the laughter died down from her lips she took a couple deeps breaths before she faced Inuyasha once more as she adjusted her hold on her son.

"Inuyasha, you can't fool me. You have never been a 'critical' thinker. You are mad that your father, who returned from the grave, is now playing guard dog over Kagome and you want to be the only one who does that. Go find a new favorite bone," she remarked before heading out of her rooms with the girls in tow. Inuyasha sputtered on the spot as she left him behind, snickering behind her hand as she heard his indignant shout of 'keh'.

The day continued on with everyone enjoying the day at the command of Sesshomaru. After today everyone would work based on their skills, primarily the villagers. Kaede still kept busy, having never had a day off, minus illness, she didn't even know what she would do with herself. She had wandered the grounds that morning and found Rin's garden before she ambled off looking for the healing ward and busying herself with getting acquainted with Sesshomaru's healers and checking over Kagome.

Her apprentice Cho was off somewhere else but she was glad. She wanted the girl to have at least a little freedom before she replaces Kaede's position entirely. Kagome's wounds were finally merely scratches, her powers at their peak once more. They would most likely be gone within the hour and she was thankful things had gone smoothly. Had she been a normal human or even a priestess of lesser power then she might not have survived or would be bed ridden for a month at the least.

The palace was buzzing with fervor, all the gossip passing through the servants about all the new temporary residents, their previous Lord returning from the dead, and his youngest son that a few of the servants were gushing about. His strength and handsome looks were attracting a few his way but he was as oblivious as always.

Miroku had found himself in the library looking over scrolls with Touga right beside him. Both were scouring them for any valuable information on the recent events. Neither had really spoken but was still glad they had help in their efforts. Sesshomaru had surprisingly not joined them, claiming they were enough to find anything of value. They didn't think into his actions much, determining they were possibly on limited time and still clueless to what the demon was after.

The orb blocking the sun had grown darker and they could feel more movement outside of the barrier. The place was on lockdown due to the suspicions that you could be contaminated by the beasts with their skin bubbling and melting. Some resembling simple forest animals like bears, raccoon dogs, or low level demons. Miroku had thoughts of their food sources being contaminated somehow or maybe they were these zombies Kagome spoke of.

Sango sat on a grassy slope watching the kids, thinking of her brother Kohaku. He was out there somewhere and she hoped he would find her note about where they had gone should he seek them out. When the demon attacks started he had returned home with Kirara and claimed that she would need her more than he did but as sister she worried about him being alone. If he had Kirara with him she would have felt better but he was persistent and set off once more to get stronger and most likely have his space until he came to terms with the past.

She watched as Cho and a cute demon child named Serenity played with Sayuri and Kohana. It felt peaceful today, even if it was a bit dark due to the sun being blocked. If they don't stop that orb in the next several days, no one will know day from night and villages across the land will be destroyed without any means of real protection. The demon Takeshi had yet to appear again so they still knew nothing of his motives and current endeavors. No one had come or gone from the barrier since they arrived and she wondered what the food supply was and about the trading the townspeople wouldn't be able to do.

At the end of the day everyone received the good news during the evening meal about Kagome having a full recovery. Everyone felt eager for her to wake up and brighten things up a bit. The night proceeded on with higher spirits. The children all received a group bedtime story from Sango and Miroku retelling an old legend they were familiar with since their childhoods. Kagome's friends checked in on her before going off to their rooms.

I hope lady silverfox aka mychelle 79 enjoyed seeing me use her name suggestion. I know it was for another character but I thought she would fit great as a new friend to Sayuri and Kohana. I plan to try and use all the name suggestions in my story. Some just might be more minor than others.
