The shards were divvied up. Naraku had so much of it too. He had managed to get the shards that Kikyou had. The only ones not in his possession were the few Kagome had retrieved herself. She knew the final battle was coming. She knew that she would have to do what she had dreaded from the moment she found she was still alive.
She turned to face the Inu demon that approached her. He stopped only a few paces from her. “It is time.”
Kagome nodded, and fell into step beside the demon- at least she wouldn’t be doing this alone.
**
Inuyasha leapt to his feet. Everyone else did too on instinct. He growled low, and unsheathed his sword, “Get ready.” It looked like it wouldn’t be a normal night.
“What’s up Inuyasha?” Sango asked.
“The bastard is coming, and he isn’t alone.”
Everyone got into battle stances, and waited for their unwelcome visitor. Sango and Miroku relaxed slightly when the regal demon stepped forth from the woods. Sesshomaru wasn’t one to arrive for no reason. Sango dropped her weapon when the next figure stepped out next to the demon lord.
“Kagome?”
No one moved or spoke until Inuyasha broke the silence. “What the fuck is this?”
“We have come to join forces. The final battle will be soon, and it will likely take us all to defeat the hanyou.” Sesshomaru said. “We will camp away from you and yours, Inuyasha, but we will move together.”
Inuyasha growled. “You know what I mean you icy bastard, what are you doing with that fucking imposter?” He pointed his sword at the miko with Sesshomaru.
Sesshomaru regarded him with disdain. “Your former pack member? She is not an imposter. Perhaps you should ask your dead miko for answers.”
Then Sesshomaru with Kagome in tow moved away to where they were still visible, but not in hearing distance. Kagome began making camp as Rin, Jaken, and Ah Un emerged from the trees to join them.
Sango didn’t even look back as she ran over to their camp. She stopped, and fell to her knees in front of Kagome. She stared at Kagome a long time before she asked, “Is it really you?” With a nod from Kagome, Sango crushed her into her arms. “I thought that we might not get you back! How did you get free?” She released Kagome, and looked into her eyes. She was struck by the sorrow there.
“It’s a long story better suited for another time.” Kagome told her. She wasn’t ready yet to go through it all.
Sango nodded in understanding, and then turned to Sesshomaru. “Lord Sesshomaru, would I be allowed to sleep in your camp tonight?”
Sesshomaru gave a nod. Sango ran back to Inuyasha’s camp, gathered her things, and then went back to spend the night with her sister along with Shippou.
**
Kagome woke late in the night. She looked around the camp to see everyone sleeping but Sesshomaru. This was normal. She sat up, and tried to figure out what woke her.
“The dead miko has left her camp.” He stated as he gazed into the woods.
Kagome rose silently, and walked in the direction indicated by Sesshomaru. She stepped into the woods, and found him there already. She looked up at him.
“Be careful, her intentions are not good.”
Kagome nodded. She and Sesshomaru had developed a bit of a friendship in their limited time together. She realized that though he never said it, Sesshomaru did care about her. She wasn’t sure how or why, but he did.
Sesshomaru went back to their camp, and Kagome went further into the woods. She stopped when she found Kikyou surrounded by her demons. Kagome watched as she received a soul from one, and then another. Then slowly Kikyou turned to her. Kagome stepped out into the open unafraid.
“I have our soul; why are you still walking?” She asked coldly.
Kagome looked into the eyes of the older miko. Then she turned to walk away. She paused when an arrow thudded into the tree next to her. Slowly she turned to look at dead one that would see her dead too.
“Don’t walk away from me. Answer me!”
“You have your soul, isn’t that what you wanted?” Kagome asked. She had no fear even if Kikyou had another arrow aimed at her.
“How are you still alive?!” Kikyou asked again in a menacing voice that promised death.
Kagome smiled. “It seems we all were mistaken.” Then she turned and returned to camp.
**
Kagome ignored the dirty looks from Kikyou the next morning. When they all began to walk Kagome ignored Inuyasha and Kikyou whom took lead. She fell in beside the stoic demon lord of the west. In the couple weeks it had taken them to reach Inuyasha and his small band Kagome had become very accustom to the lord, and his habits. She found she like traveling with the Taiyoukia.
The day passed with much tension in the air. Kagome spoke to no one, merely walked along side Sesshomaru in silence. They made camp, with Sesshomaru and Kagome setting up away from Inuyasha. Once dinner was had, Kikyou rose, and walked to the other camp. She looked at Kagome a long time.
“Girl, I wish to speak with you.”
Kagome pointedly ignored her.
Kikyou clenched her teeth. She wanted to slap the little smile off that girl’s face. “I am speaking to you, girl.” She ground out, trying to keep her voice even.
Still Kagome ignored her. She knew she had the upper hand this time. She was more powerful than Kikyou, and had information that would ruin the dead miko. She wasn’t going to be pushed around anymore by anyone.
Kikyou was furious, but did her best to remain in control. “Kagome,” She barely whispered.
Kagome finally looked up at Kikyou, “Yes?”
“Will you come speak with me?” Kikyou asked the anger now evident in her voice.
Kagome rose, and followed after the elder miko. Once they were well away from everyone Kikyou rounded on Kagome. She stuck out at her, but her hand only hit a barrier. Kikyou looked at Kagome astonished. How did she have enough time? How was she even able to make a barrier? Kikyou’s soul was the only thing that made her a miko, but she had that no longer.
“Trying to hit me is not speaking Kikyou.” Kagome told her evenly.
Kikyou glared, but stood straight before Kagome. ‘She is the lesser on here,’ she told herself. “I wish to know how you are able to walk around. I want to know how you are alive.”
Kagome smiled. “That is information you will need to discover for yourself like I had to. I’m not going to give you all the answers Kikyou.” Kagome told her only the truth, and then she turned to leave.
“I am not done with you!” Kikyou yelled.
Kagome looked over her shoulder at her. “No, but I am with you.” She walked a little ways, and then stopped to see why Sesshomaru was out here. She heard him address Kikyou.
“The miko is with my pack, and therefore under my protection. If you try to harm her again, dead one, than you will find yourself the subject of this Sesshomaru’s wrath and justice.”
“Why does she matter to you? She is only the cast off of your brother.”
“Half-brother and that is of no concern to you. You have been warned.”
Kagome detoured from the camp to a secluded spot nearby, and sat. It wasn’t long before she was joined by Sesshomaru.
“They will ask more questions.”
“Yes, but I am not ready to give them answers.”
“Will you ever be?”
The soft tone of his voice caused her to look up abruptly. “Why do you care, Sesshomaru?”
The regarded her for a long time. He knew of her and her secrets. “This Sesshomaru often finds some creatures curious, and takes interest in them. This Sesshomaru finds it entertaining to study them at lengths.”
Kagome smiled, “But I’m not just ‘some creature’ am I?”
“No, and you need to see that, and believe it.”
They let the silence be for a time. “It still hurts what they did.” This was the first time she had ever spoken allowed about the events.
“It will for some time more, I think.”
Kagome sighed. This wasn’t fair to her, but when had the fates ever been fair to her. “I think so too.”
**
“What happened, Kagome?”
The soft question drifted to her ears, and she wondered if she would ever be ready to talk about it. She raised her head, not to meet the eyes of the question asker, but rather of the one whom had committed so many atrocities against her.
**
“Hey Kagome-”
Inuyasha halted, and whirled around with a furious expression. “Stop calling that- that thing by her name!”
Silence pervaded, until Inuyasha snarled at a bemused Sesshomaru. “Tell this Sesshomaru why you think that this isn’t your former alpha bitch?”
Inuyasha cracked his knuckles. “Kagome would never travel with the likes of you, and it smells different.” He growled out.
Sesshomaru almost smiled. “Much cleaner and pure scent isn’t it? Perhaps you should ask your current dead bitch why she smells different.”
Inuyasha looked to Kikyou, but she only shrugged, and made to keep moving. He looked at Kagome. “Kagome?” His tone was plaintive.
Kagome looked him in the eyes, and saw the obvious hurt in them. She spoke to him for the first time since that night. “I am me, Inuyasha.”
He stepped closer, and she stepped back. “Prove it.”
She let a small smile cross her face. “Sit.”
Inuyasha crashed to the ground, and he wasn’t angry. He wanted to cry. She was ok, and he had just left her behind. He didn’t move when Kagome stepped closer to him.
“It is me.” She whispered, and then she walked on.
The others followed, and left the hanyou to wallow in his misery alone.
**
Kikyou was looking at her again with those emotionless eyes. It no longer fazed Kagome as it did once before. She knew it was because Kikyou was trying to understand how. Kagome still refused to tell her. She rose from what she was doing. Looking down on her handy work she asked, “When it comes time, are you willing to do what is needed? Or will you decide that your personal wants are more important than the whole?” She didn’t look at Kikyou as she spoke, but they both knew whom her words were for. She walked away.
