It had been two days since Inuyasha and Kikyo had finally healed completely. Well almost completely. Kagome thought as she once again watched Inuyasha and Kikyo. He was helping her walk while the group had lunch. He stood close by as Kikyo walked on shaky limbs. She'd insisted on doing it herself and Inuyasha showed great restraint when he curbed his normally brash attitude and gave in to her wishes. His behavior had improved drastically in such short time that Kagome couldn't help but be surprised.
The Higurashi's were reporting in on the nearby villages and Kagome had insisted that they stick around for a bit.
She shuddered as her silent taiyoukai nibbled on the shoulder he had yet to mark. It was almost like an obsession with him. "Kagome," he whispered in her ear. Kagome turned around and uncrossed her arms to wrap them around him. When he kissed her then, there was no lust in it, but there was passion all the same. "I love you," he said in a low tone that no other would hear.
Kami, she loved these moments. It revealed so much to her. His stoic taiyoukai demeanor remained and he was only so open. It showed that he didn't just lust after her and he had a heart somewhere in him. He was hers all hers. Feeling his hands press into her stomach she was reminded of another one of his obsessions. He just couldn't wait to feel the aura of their pup growing in her. She wouldn't be showing for quite a while, but that didn't stop Sesshoumaru from running his clawed hands over her stomach eagerly. He found it odd that while her scent told him she was pupped there wasn't the barest hint of an aura coming from her womb. He didn't let it phase him though since he was dealing with a whole other species of creature entirely.
Looking over at Shippo and Rin she found that her adopted children were meditating with Miroku as Sango cleaned up. Suddenly, Rin's eyes snapped open and everyone in camp stiffened up. The inu brother's immediately began to snarl. Kagome stretched out her senses and found the source of everyone's agitation. Kagura and Kanna. But she has the sacred jewel with her.
"Stand down," Kagome said. As the jewel drew closer she could sense something was going on with it. "Inuyasha, give me my jewel shards." She held her hand out even as pain shot through her. Sesshoumaru could feel the distress of his mate and his eyes focused on her womb. With one arm he supported her before she collapsed and with the other he drew his sword. Sesshoumaru felt pain radiate from his mating marks and gritted his teeth against it.
"What business have you here Kagura?" Sesshoumaru's baritone was as stoic as ever as he observed the battered witch land. He was surprised when he saw the body of the young void child.
"I seek what I always seek… Freedom," she said in a low tone. "La… Kagome, I bring you the sacred jewel. Just please we ask for protection and freedom. Save us." The desperation in her voice stunned the group. They watched as she handed Kagome the jewel. With baited breath they watched Kagome fit the pieces of the jewel together. Searing pain shot through Kagome from her womb and she and Sesshoumaru collapsed much to the horror of those around them.
(^_^)
Kagome and Sesshoumaru stood in the meadow once again but now they witnessed something odd. The sun was setting in this place. It no longer shined high in the sky as if day were perpetual in this place. That wasn't the only odd thing though. The strangest part was that it was setting in the east. In some ways it made Kagome think time was going backwards in this realm.
"Kagome," she started at the sound of a male voice. She'd never known anyone but her mother to be in this place. Still, she knew that voice without a doubt.
"Father?" Kagome and Sesshoumaru turned to see two cloaked figures rather than the usual one.
"Yes, sweet darling. You brought your father back to us. Now I believe it's finally time you knew who exactly your parents are," her mother's melodious voice was joyful. Kagome watched with baited breath as the cloaks dropped to the ground.
She looked into brown eyes so like her own. They stared back at her with pride and joy shining in them. He was a tall man, though not as tall as Sesshoumaru she knew he could easily tower over her. He was tan and his short unkempt hair was brown. The damn broke and Kagome exploded across the clearing in the blink of an eye. Sesshoumaru watched as his mate tackled the male to the ground and smiled at her joy.
"Oh my gosh! DADDY!" Kagome exploded with tears. She'd grown-up fatherless and she just couldn't hold back her joy at finding him.
"Kagome, he's yet to fully recover and I'm sure you'd rather not add to his injuries," her mother said. Kagome's attention immediately snapped to her and Kagome fell back with a gasp.
"You," she gasped out in utter shock. "Midoriko! You're my mother!" She shrieked making the three in the clearing wince.
"I'd have thought it were obvious sweetie, but that's not the point. As you can see the jewel is having what you'd call a 'totally system meltdown' at the moment. We haven't much time to do this," Midoriko explained.
"Do what?" Kagome asked even as her body tensed in further pain.
"Save our grandchildren of course," Katsuro said with a gentle smile.
Kagome's and Sesshoumaru's hearts stopped. "What's wrong with my babies?"
"They're soulless," Sesshoumaru answered. Kagome whirled on him about to explode on him when she noticed that he seemed to be undergoing some sort of shock. "That's why I could not sense their auras, isn't it?" Their hearts clenched. Kagome had never heard Sesshoumaru sound so small and fragile as he did then. Inside they were in turmoil. Their pups, their very first pups, were soulless. Pain tore through them so strongly that they'd have hit the ground if Kagome's parents hadn't been there to catch them.
"Well not necessarily. They have souls to an extent," Midoriko said as she brushed Kagome's bangs from her face. "This place will implode soon so we have little time to explain exactly what's going on. We need to save them and be out of here before that happens. Sesshoumaru take her hand and focus on your bond." She watched in satisfaction as he did as he was told and she did the same with her mate. Sesshoumaru glowed with an evergreen light as Kagome glowed red. Midoriko and Katsuro glowed pink as they focused on expanding their reiki.
"Mama, how is this helping?" Kagome's voice was strained but she needed to know her babies would be alright.
"You already know that miko are practically the essence of earth, life, and balance. Youkai are also closely connected to the earth, but their connection is a looser one. In fact the only place on this plane that they have a connection with the earth that is nearly as strong as that of the mikos is on their own lands," Midoriko answered.
Sweat beaded on her brow. It had been a long time before she'd had access to her powers and this was taxing. The pushing and pulling of energies around them and in Kagome's womb threatened to tear her to shreds. She began to wonder if she'd be able to pull through this successfully.
Katsuro watched his mate out of the corner of his eye. He wondered how long they'd been trapped in this place for their bond to be so weak and for her to forget his aide. It hurt him deep inside that things were like this. Still, it was a matter to be dealt with once they were completely free.
"The energy from the bonds aide in the conception of the miko children. Your problem is that since you were mated away from Sesshoumaru's lands there was a lack of energy on his part. With your energy being so high and his so low, rather than combining to stabilizing the child you're over powering what's there and creating somewhat of a black hole," Katsuro explained.
"We can't do anything for Sesshoumaru's end but we can bind yours in such a way that it will be restrained until Sesshoumaru's energy is on par." Midoriko spoke calmly but inside she was a wreck. They didn't have much time before the realm they were in collapsed and she would rather not be in it when that happened. She could feel her body threatening to give out on her, but she couldn't give up. I'm the only one that can do this.
Just as she thought that she felt the strangest notion that she was falling. No not now, I was so close. She never felt the impact of her body on the unstable ground. Instead she felt an arm around her waist. What? She looked up into the brown eyes of her mate. There was hurt in that look as it swirled with concern and love, but determination also shown through.
I've got you. You're my mate and you are never in anything alone. Remember that, remember me… Remember us. He leaned in and gave her a quick kiss. Rest now, my Midoriko, I will finish this. Midoriko nodded numbly as she let Katsuro settle her down and watched him get work on Kagome.
My mate, my love. And then sleep claimed her
(^_^)
The inu tachi barely had time to react before they were assaulted by four youkai. Asami and Akeno held Kagome and Sesshoumaru protectively as the others took on defensive stances around them. Inuyasha cautiously placed Kikyo on Souta's back, his eyes never leaving the youkai. Even Kagura and Kanna looked poise to attack.
"Renjiro-san! Nastu-chan! Shiro-kun and Kuro-kun!" The tense stare down was shattered by Rin's voice.
"Rin, sweetie… Do you know these youkai," Asami questioned in a motherly tone.
"Yes, Aunt Asami. They work for Lord Sesshoumaru," Rin answered with a smile as she squirmed past them and launched herself onto the twins legs. Looking up at their shocked faces she smiled. "Are you here to play with me?"
The youkai were taken aback they just watched their lord fall and Rin was acting as if nothing seriously wrong was going on.
"Rin, what is the meaning of this?" Renjiro's voice questioned. Looking over at the red headed male whose sharp predators gaze bore into her own she gave an answer that stunned everyone.
"Mama put the jewel back together and now it's gonna self-destruct. They're in the jewels realm now with grandma and grandpa." She paused. "Grandma just collapsed. We have to have good energy going to help them. Right, auntie and uncle?" They nodded.
"Well, Lady Rin, you are mighty intuitive," Miroku observed. Looking at him with a puzzled expression she tilted her head in much the same way Renjiro had a habit of doing.
"What does intuitive mean?"
"It means you are good with your spiritual senses, " Akeno answered. "It would seem that we are not enemies here. Asami is second in command after Princess Kagome." He turned to his mate paying no mind to the shock the new youkai experienced at hearing Kagome's title. "What would you have us do?"
"Stand down, for one." She watched as they all lowered their weapons and relaxed. "What are your names?" She watched as the female brown inuyoukai bowed in respect. "I asked for your name not for you to bow." The youkai showed various expressions of surprise.
"I am Natsu." In similar manner Renjiro and the twins introduced themselves. Asami arched her brow when she noticed Renjiro and Kagura's eyes lock as he rose up from his bow.
"Well Natsu can you hold Kagome for me? Shiro, Kuro, please hold Sesshoumaru for Akeno while we fix their bedding. Souta, Kirara, Ah-Un and watch the children and Kikyo. Sango, Miroku, and Inuyasha set up camp," Asami spoke with a level of a authority that gave the youkai pause. What sort of woman was this? "Everyone else helps where you can. Kagura and Kanna we'll get those wounds treated as soon as possible."
Akeno carefully handed Sesshoumaru over to Shiro and stuck close by as Kuro moved to support his feet. He could barely hide his amusement when they began to sniff the air around their lord. Shiro's eyes widened. Carefully he maneuvered Sesshoumaru into one of his arms as he moved his lord's haori aside. He gasped at the two crescent shaped scars on either side of his lord's neck.
"What is the meaning of this," he said. His grey eyes narrowed when they landed on Kagome in Sesshoumaru's arms.
"Natsu check her shoulders," Kuro said with narrowed eyes. The inuyoukai moved the haori aside to reveal Kagome's neck.
"Explain this," she said. She didn't take nearly as much insult to this as the males in her group had. She was a woman, as well after all. If the miko she held in her arms had what it took to subdue a male as arrogant and domineering as Sesshoumaru more power to her. She didn't doubt that Sesshoumaru would turn the tables back on the woman, so no worries there.
"Keh, what are ya lookin' at us for? We don't know any of the details and we don't wanna know anythin' about that pricks mating," Inuyasha shouted brashly.
"Inuyasha, behave" Kikyo's demure voice was disapproving and Natsu watched with interest as the pups ears flattened to his skull. Away from the group Renjiro sat with Kagura who held Kanna's head in her lap. She seemed tense and guarded and he wished for nothing more than for her to lean on him in much the same way Kanna leaned on her.
"How is it that you attained these injuries," Renjiro stated as he eyed her bruises and burns. She was a beautiful woman despite them and it made something within him clench at the abuse she must have gone through. Kagura's eyes narrowed and she paused in her stroking of Kanna's hair. Turning her glare to the male next to her she let her voice take on the sound of winter's fury.
"That is none of your business. You're far better off leaving me and my sister alone." Renjiro was captivated by her red eyed gaze. Like rubies. Beautiful as they were there was darkness in those eyes. It made him want to destroy whoever put that darkness there. When he didn't move Kagura sent a sharp gust of wind after him. Renjiro was jumped away and watched as the tree that he'd been leaning against was bent in half.
"Haha, Renjiro's striking out with the ladies already," Shiro laughed causing the others to laugh along with him.
"Yeah, and it hasn't even been an hour yet," Kuro said through his laughter. Suddenly the sound of a slap echoed throughout the camp.
"HENTAI!"
"But Sango I could not leave him to be ridiculed alone," Miroku said dazedly as stars danced around his head where it lay on the ground. This caused them to laugh even harder as Renjiro joined in. Kagura even smiled a little.
"Okay, lay them down here. I don't think they'd appreciate being separated for much longer," Asami said. They all gathered around and watched as the taiyoukai unconsciously pulled Kagome close and placed one hand on her belly the other on the shoulder he'd yet to mark.
(^_^)
Naraku was in absolute agony as he writhed on the dungeon floor. He'd come back down stairs to find his incarnations and the jewel missing. Immediately he thought they'd gone to join with the western lords ever growing tachi. The second he'd made the decision to end their miserable lives agonizing pain over took him sending him crashing to the ground screaming bloody mary. It felt like he was burning alive in acid and flames. The jars containing Kagura and Kanna's hearts were at the other end of the dungeon. He'd never be able to reach them.
(^_^)
The earth pulsated in time with a shock wave from the jewel and the miko in the group widened their eyes in fear. The youkai stiffened. Something felt wrong.
"Mom, dad," Souta sounded panicked.
"Aunt Asami," Rin shrieked as she wrapped herself around the woman. Asami locked eyes with Akeno.
"We know, kids. We know," Akeno said gravely.
"What is it what's going on?" Sango looked around as even Miroku stiffened up. She and Kikyo were the only plain humans amongst them and were completely lost.
"Has Kagome ever told you about a time bomb?" Sango nodded slowly not understanding why Souta would ask such a thing. "What about an atomic bomb?" Again she nodded.
"Well the jewel is now a ticking atomic time bomb," he said his voice rising an octave as he fought to keep the panic down. It finally dawned on her what was happening.
"Oh kami," she said as the breath was knocked from her lungs.
"Well, what the fuck are you waiting for we gotta get outta here! Now!" Inuyasha shouted as he put Kikyo on his back. Even then he was being extremely careful.
"Inuyasha," Akeno said looking ashen. "You don't understand. You'd never be able to out run the blast. Besides what of the children? Would you leave them behind? And Sesshoumaru and Kagome? Even if we could fly fast enough we wouldn't be able to take everyone with us."
Tears began to run down Asami's cheeks. "Oh dear kami. Help us." Suddenly Sesshoumaru and Kagome began to glow and the wind picked up. Fear skated up all their spines, freezing the blood in their veins as another pulse went through the earth. They all gathered close shaking and waiting, knowing there was nothing they could do to stop this.
"Beloved Kagome, I hope to see you and my beloved sister again," Asami said as she cried. She was terrified. Sure she was a miko and death was a natural thing. But for miko it was another matter than it was for youkai or humans. Where would their souls go if they died and the earth was destroyed?
Renjiro watched as Kagura wrapped her arms around Kanna. "It would seem we were never meant to be free in life, sister. You were right I would find my freedom in a way other than what I'd hoped for." Instinct over took him and he wrapped his arms around them both. Miroku held a sobbing Sango. Akeno and Asami wrapped their arms around the children trying their very best to comfort them. Inuyasha held Kikyo close. Natsu and the twins shuddered amongst themselves and waited for the end.
Another pulse and this one tore screams from the throats of Kagome, Rin, and Asami. The screaming ended when Asami and Rin passed out from pain. On the next pulse Akeno grunted as Souta screamed. Akeno watched his son pass out just as Rin began to stir. "We can do something," her voice was a hoarse whisper.
"What Rin? What is it?" Natsu would have felt bad for questioning the girl the way she did had the situation not been so dire.
"I saw the realm and it's breaking apart. They're trapped inside and they're fighting. When the jewel shatters everything will be released out into the world. All the good and all the evil," Rin said. She paused as Asami began coming to.
"You need some way to channel everything that's released…" Kagura said in realization. Kanna came to and Rin eyes locked on hers.
"Your mirror," she said determination making her voice strong again. Kanna nodded and pulled from Kagura and Renjiro's arms.
"Kanna," Kagura's voice was barely a whisper.
"It's okay Kagura," Kanna's barely there voice floated through the chaos. "This is how it was meant to be. This was meant to happen." She paused and turned to her younger sister and did something she'd never done before. She smiled. It was only the barest lifting of her lips towards the corners of her mouth, but it was a smile none the less. "Soon, we'll be free."
Kagura stiffened, but nodded jerkily. "Yes, we'll be free. Thank you, big sister." Tears ran down her cheeks as she watched Kanna's mirror materialize.
"Give me the jewel," Rin said.
"No Rin," Natsu and Jaken shouted knowing Sesshoumaru would have their heads if they ever acquiesced that request.
"Otou-san, won't even get the chance to find out about this if we doesn't survive!" She shrieked at the top of her lungs. Asami nodded shakily and Akeno took the jewel from Kagome's clenched hand before giving it to Rin. Everyone watched in horror as Rin clenched her fist around the jewel and punched through the mirror, shattering them both. The explosion was instantaneous. They all screamed in agony as searing pain tore through them before all went white and they met nothingness. From the core of the explosion to orbs of blue light were the last things that passed through the shattered mirror. They grew and grew until they took on the form of a man and a woman.
(^_^)
The first to come to was Kagome. She opened her mouth like a fish on land and gave a great heaving gasp. This jolted Sesshoumaru awake. Slowly everyone awoke. There was shocked silence as they took in their appearances and the changes they could see and feel. The silence was shattered by an overjoyed cry.
"Midoriko!" Asami shrieked as she launched herself into the arms of her waiting sister.
"Shhh, it's alright. Don't cry anymore," Midoriko whispered to her younger sister.
"You're alive and whole! Do you have any idea what it was like to be dumped in that time where we knew nothing with your daughter as our charge? Do you have any idea how I felt when I'd learned that your soul was trapped? What was I going to tell your daughter? What of her father? What of her people?"
"It's alright, Asami. You did a wonderful job raising Kagome. The fact that you can say all this to me now is proof enough," Midoriko responded.
"Rin!"
"Kanna!" Sesshoumaru and Kagura's worried voices interrupted the reunion. The arm Rin used on the jewel was bloody torn and even burnt in places. Kanna wasn't much better off. Instantly everyone was hovering around trying to aide the fallen girls.
"Someone boil water quickly!" Kagome ordered. "Sango my first aide kit." She placed two fingers to Kanna's throat.
"What are you doing?"
"Calm down Kagura I'm only checking her heart rate," Kagome said not turning her attention from the two little girls.
"You won't find one Naraku has them," Kagura replied sadly.
"You have not yet realized it wind witch?" Sesshoumaru questioned.
"Noticed what!" Kagura shouted her frustration getting the best of her. Renjiro took one of her hands then. She stared at him suspiciously as he moved it towards her chest. When her hand breast against her chest it took a moment for Kagura to realize that she could feel something moving in her normally still chest cavity.
"I have a heart," Kagura's breathless whisper was disbelieving. Renjiro smiled as he aide the quaking demoness to recline against a tree.
AN: Okay so that's that. I do believe this is the longest chapter I've written for this story. :) Review please. (^_^)
