Kagome could tell he was still strained. “Mate,” she called to him.
He looked at her thankful that the life had come back into her eyes. It had been slow, but worth the effort. The shell that had wandered for two hundred years was gone, and he had his mate back. He knew she was still holding things back from him, but he didn’t mind as long as she had her purpose.
“How many is it now?” She asked again.
“Two lords, twenty eight demons, and thirty nine hanyous.”
Kagome cringed. “What year is it again?”
Sesshomaru leaned forward, and gave her his full attention. “Why is that relevant?” He questioned.
Kagome shrugged. “It’s not, just curious.”
Sesshomaru growled. “My mate lies.”
Kagome looked at him. “Tell me how many years it has been since I returned to your side, and I will tell you when it is time.” Sesshomaru growled again. “Please?” Kagome asked plaintively.
“Nine years, six months, and three weeks.”
Kagome nodded, and Sesshomaru noted the hollow look in her face.”Than it is time.” Kagome rose. “Get Inuyasha, his mate, and both of you bring your swords. It is time that we face our foe.”
“And who would that be?”
“Naraku.”
**
She ignored his growl. “This is how it has to be.”
“You are needlessly putting yourself in danger.”
“I am doing my duty as a miko.”
“And what about your duty as a mate?”
She growled at him then, and Sesshomaru felt his beast respond with delight. She was an excellent alpha despite her inability to give him an heir.
“Sesshomaru… mate, I must do this. There is no other way.”
His lip curled, “There is always another way. You are just not looking for it.”
She shook her head at him. “Whatever.”
“I will not lose my mate again!”
“Ya’ know, you wouldn’t be having this issue if you were to be there standing next to me.” Kagome froze. The words were already out of her mouth, and with the way his aura cleared of his discomfort, and set with resolve she knew she shouldn’t have said it.
Sesshomaru caught her up in his arms, “Good idea mate.”
“Sesshomaru, you can’t-” She began twisting in his arms to face him.
“Can and will.” He cut her off, and nuzzled her neck.
“But-”
“I will stand next to you if you insist on doing this, and you can’t stop me.”
Kagome glowered at him.

Kagome watched as the demons, hanyous, monks, demon slayers, and priestess left banded together to face this evil that was slowly wiping out their ranks. It hadn’t taken them long to get everyone to believe them- not when daily the tolls went up.
Kagome looked out over the field and at the sutras that surrounded this place. They had chosen it carefully. It was wide and open, but secluded. No humans would see this fight. The myth that was the demons cover would be preserved.
As Kagome watched the demons and humans alike sparring, and the monks and priestesses praying she couldn’t help but reflect back on her life. It had been long, much longer than she had ever thought it would be. Absentmindedly she touched her flat stomach. She had always wanted a child, but it was never the kami’s will. She had been alive too long to fight that now. She glance at Sesshomaru, and knew that soon she wouldn’t be able to hide her secret from him for much longer. She was pregnant again, but she knew if he knew he would never let her do what she had to. Even though she couldn’t bare him a child, and this might change that, he wouldn’t put her and the child at risk. He was too much of an inu, and despite his words he wanted a child too much to do otherwise.
Kagome dropped her hand and turned to the one that approached her.
“Kagome… are you sure it is him?”
Kagome smiled. Sango didn’t want to doubt her, but it was hard. Kagome looked past Sango to her family that was gathered. They had retained their spiritual powers through the generations and years, and now would fight alongside the demons of the nation. “Unfortunately, yes.”
“But how, we killed him?” Sango brushed her hair back out of her face.
Kagome smiled at the strands of gray that had gathered at her temples. “I purified the demons from him. The human wasn’t killed though. I- I thought he would live and die like a human. I thought that all the demons would be wise enough not to join with them as they had before, and left him human.” She bit her tongue. “I messed up.”
Sango slapped her arm, and Kagome looked at her astonished. “You did what you thought was right. You didn’t know this would happen again.”
Kagome nodded. “Does your family know what to do?”
Sango nodded. “Don’t worry. We will make sure that it goes as planned, but are you sure this is how it must go?”
Kagome nodded. “It is the way it must be to end this viscous cycle. I must free them all.”
Sango nodded. It would be hard, but she couldn’t say no to her sister, and the one that made sure she always had happiness.

Kagome let out a sigh. She was too old for this. She didn’t want to have to watch more good people die again at the hands of a monster. And it was her fault; she failed to do what was necessary back then to truly rid the world of the vile being that plagued them once more.
Sometimes she wondered if this was all real, or it was just in her head. It was hard, because if it was in her head she wanted out so badly. Why would she do this to herself, and not grant herself the happiness that everyone else got? And still she wanted to stay with every fiber of her being. She never deserved that happiness. She never even deserved Sesshomaru, but she had him, so it must be real.
She looked at Sesshomaru as he was sparing with Shippou. Her heart swelled at the sight with Inuyasha and Sango watching. Her friends- her family- was all here. Only one was missing, and her heart ached for that loss. But Kagome knew that no matter what it came down to she would sacrifice herself in an instant for them. She would insure they would continue living at her own sake. She loved them.
**
“Kagome,” his voice rang in her ears.
She turned to face him even with the tears that graced her face. “I’m sorry.” She fell to the floor weeping, but was caught before she landed.
He petted her head, and rumbled deep in his chest to sooth her.
“Kagome, you don’t have to-”
“You know I must.” She cut him off in a hard voice, but then it softened. “I don’t want to fight, just hold me.”
She wept, and he held her because even in this he couldn’t deny her. He loved her so much.
