Shippou heard the words Kikyou had spoken to the soul collecting demons, and silently crept away.
He had been left behind at Edo when Kagome had come back the last time. He was sick, and couldn’t travel. When Sango and Miroku returned the thought it was to retrieve him, but he had been wrong. Kikyou had done something to his mama, and now she was sealed away somewhere.
He had left Edo with Sango and Miroku, and when they finally returned to travel with Inuyasha he was with Kikyou. Shippou didn’t say anything, but he knew what the two didn’t speak of. Inuyasha had mated Kikyou, but not marked her. He also knew that Kikyou had refused to let Inuyasha mark her.
Shippou stood, and began to wander away. He had been left with them this time because Sango and Miroku were going to a village where they killed all demons on the spot. With Inuyasha and Kikyou was the last place he wanted to be.
He was well away from camp when he smelled something very familiar. He raced to trace it. He froze in the bushes just before he rushed into Sesshomaru’s camp. He saw the yellow gaze of the elder demon on him, and back tracked. He moved to where the demon had left a trail, and traced it back.
Near morning, and exhausted, Shippou saw the most beautiful sight he had ever seen in his life- his mother. She was up packing up her camp. He ran as fast as his little legs could carry him, and vaulted into her arms. They clung to each other.
When Kagome pulled him away to tell him how much she had missed him, she found him fast asleep. She smiled, and fashioned a carrier for him. She set out with a lighter heart.
**“Where’s the damn brat?!”Kikyou looked about unconcerned, “He will find us. We should go so we don’t lose too much time.”
Inuyasha regarded Kikyou. It wasn’t lost on him that both of them had no love for the other. Inuyasha was reluctant to leave without the kit. Kagome had looked to him as a son, and Inuyasha had started to as well- though he would never admit it. Plus Sango and Miroku would be furious. Eventually Inuyasha, worn down by Kikyou, finally let her climb on his back, and bound off.
**Shippou woke, and felt like crying. He was having the most wonderful dream.“Up lazy!”
Shippou vaulted to his feet. “MAMA!”
Kagome giggle, and cuddled the kit. Finally she managed to pry him off to eat. When that was done they talked a bit. Out of nowhere Shippou asked her something.
“Mama, why is your scent different?”
“Huh?”
Shippou smiled. “It’s close to the same, but still has changed. It seems crisper, and fresher, like before it was marred by something else.”
“I donno honey.”
“O.k.”
** “WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE’S GONE?!?! YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE WATCHING HIM!”Inuyasha’s ears were plastered to his head. He really felt horrible. He knew this would happen, but he had let Kikyou get her way once more. He lifted his head slightly to peek at the fuming and ranting slayer. He was surprised she hadn’t tried to kill him yet. He felt like he deserved it.
“Kagome is going to sit you to hell if we don’t find him!” Sango froze in her manic pacing when she realized what she just said.
Kikyou let out a soft snort that only Inuyasha heard. He glanced at her, and then to Miroku.
“Whatever. Miroku and I will attempt to find him.” With that she climbed on a transformed Kiara, and barely waited till Miroku was on before she urged the cat to take off.
**Kagome froze, and then darted off the road. She clung Shippou to her, and masked their scents and auras. Her wide eyes stared at the empty road, while she and Shippou sat waiting in silence. Then a red clad, white haired boy dropped into sight. He let his ‘cargo’ down, and sniffed around. “I swear I smelled…”“Smelled what?”
Inuyasha hesitated. “Nothing; nevermind.” He crouched and waited for the miko to climb on, and then leapt into the air.
Kagome sat for a long time making sure they were gone. Her heart ached something terrible. It was hard for her to see them like that. She rose slowly, and unsteadily, her eyes still unfocused and seeing something that was no longer there- something that was no longer hers, and never was.
**Kagome hear the clash of weapons, and a war cry she would know anywhere, and rushed toward them. She skidded to a halt just inside the small clearing, and took careful aim. She released her arrow, and then moved away not waiting to see if the arrow would find its mark. She knew it would. **“Did you see that?” Sango panted out.“Yes.”
“What do you think it means?”
“Maybe all of us were wrong about our friend.”
“We can’t tell Inuyasha or Kikyou.”
“No.”
**Shippou looked up mournfully at his mama. “I need to go back to them.”Kagome nodded. She couldn’t speak.
“I will visit.”
Again a silent nod. She watched him go back to her sister. When he was gone a tear fell. She was alone again. She rose, and walked away.
**
She sat overlooking a small river. Here heart was heavy again. Why did it have to be so hard? Why did it have to be like this? She wanted to go back to the way it was before when she was still an innocent girl from the future.
“Miko.”
She started. She was unaware of her surroundings, and hadn’t felt the demon approach. She turned to him her eyes filled with her questions.
“This will do no one any good.”
She stared at him uncomprehending. Why did he care? She nodded once. He was right. Even if she was drifting she still had a duty.
He walked away, and before he was out of ear shot she whispered, “Thank you Sesshomaru-sama.”
She had a purpose in this time, and she would do it no matter what it took.
