�A Glimpse into the Future.�

This new home was dark and moist, a perfect breeding ground for moss and other types of cave mold. Bleak was the best word Naraku could think of at the moment to describe his new whereabouts within the shallow cave of Mt. Hakurai. Soon the low temperature of the cave would inevitably transform into an annoyance, however he would make amends for such living conditions as soon as the wound inflicted by the dirty half-breed, InuYasha, healed. Damn that InuYasha... he would have to make due with the temperature of his new home longer than he had first anticipated... tonight was his human night, and with the wound, he wouldn�t be able to escape the cold of the cave that was bound to intensify when the sun gave way to darkness, lest he give an enemy an opportunity to kill him.

Yes, the miko Kagome had helped by taking his seed, and with it part of his humanity, however, there was still a part of his human heart that was left within him, and like any hanyou, a night of weakness was to be expected.

�This is one more thing I won�t have to put up with once I�ve become a full demon.� Naraku mumbled as he removed his bulky outer kimono to wrap around the wound on his abdomen. Hopefully Kanna would be dropped off by Kagura before sunset, though knowing Kagura, she would most likely leave him vulnerable overnight just to irk him. Damn that Kagura.

Tired with damning yet another person, Naraku opted to think upon pleasant thoughts... like the look upon InuYasha�s face when he realized that he had sliced through the Kagome-like puppet he had made. It was absolutely priceless.

Yes, it was hard to duplicate Kagome... her perfect lithe body, sensuous curves, and perfectly intoxicating scent. It was defiantly worth it though, all of those nights and days that were spend memorizing her smell, feel, and feminine curves with his very willing hands. She was worth every moment of his personal struggle and questioning of intentions on his behalf... and it was because of her that things from here on out would only get easier for him.

With a self satisfied smirk Naraku let his head rest against the cave wall, slightly adjusting to sit more comfortably against the rocky uneven ground within the cave. The sun soon kissed the earth good bye, and the night blanketed the land with it�s heavy caress, with this change, Naraku too changed, into a particularly hansom human male.

Notably, the tone of his thoughts also changed, focusing on a particular woman that had cursed him with feelings that were anything but malevolent.

�Who would have thought... a innocent young miko, and the most vile being in Japan. What irony.� The ebony haired male stated to no one in particular, followed by a deep chuckle. �Yes, who would have thought...� He continued within his mind.

Stranger yet, the fact that she knew who he was from the beginning� his potion/spell mix had only worked for a couple of hours, yet she allowed his hands that were drenched in innocent blood to touch her pure miko virgin skin.

�Definitely didn�t see that coming.� Naraku mumbled to himself with a hiss in his voice, his human body tensing from the pain of his half healed wound.

�Why the hell would any virgin girl� a miko no less, mate with me? I�m known throughout the land as evil, and even if someone didn�t know of my blood-soaked reputation, they could definitely feel the evil radiating off of me in waves� even cattle run in fear of me. What could compel someone to do what Kagome did? Pain? Insanity?� Naraku continued mulling over the possibilities in an attempt to forget the numbing of his fingers and fiery pain that radiated from the wound on his abdomen.

Soft footsteps vibrated the cold cave air with little patters, bringing a smirk to Naraku�s lips, a sense of relief washing over him when he recognized those footsteps to belong to his reincarnation, Kanna. He couldn�t see her snow white hair or her pasty white features, but he knew it was her, for when her cold emotionless eyes caressed his human features, it left him chilled to the bone. Or perhaps it was just the damn cave being too damn cold. Yes, that had to be it.

�Shall I start a fire?� Kanna asked, though he couldn�t tell if it were a question or a statement because of the lack of variance in her tone.

�No, I�ll just freeze here until death relieves me of the cold.� Naraku replied sarcastically, shooting his reincarnation a glare with his now chocolate brown eyes. She was just as bleak as this cave was, and she nodded in understanding, going out to fetch some fire wood and start a fire. He was hoping for a response rather than the same emotionless responses she usually gave� she was no fun at all.

It was at this moment that he found himself longing for the priestess�s company instead of Kanna�s boring monotony. If Kagome were here he wouldn�t be freezing his ass off, that�s for sure... that and he probably wouldn�t be in so much pain because she would have fetched some medicinal herbs to ease the pain and induce fast healing. Perhaps he shouldn�t have gotten rid of Kagome as soon as he did, she brought him pleasure, comfort, and companionship.

�And that�s exactly why I got rid of her. She�s a weakness.� He thought to himself in a bitter tone, though he felt more light hearted that he wish he did.

�She picked you, you idiot.� His heart whispered, bringing to mind their first time together and their last fight. He would be damned if he allowed his human heart to dictate his train of thought and feelings... however, if he had stayed demon, he probably wouldn�t have visited the memory of Kagome in the first place, meaning that it was his heart that started all of this to begin with. Damn.

�Hn. She wasn�t thinking strait.� He said to himself, comforted that Kanna was still gathering wood for a fire, he would be embarrassed if she witnessed one of his personal struggles of the mind.

�And what of the morning before her cycle? She was the one who initiated that... and she wasn�t under any of your spell or intimate persuasion.�His inner voice countered, bringing with it a vivid memory of said incident:

She crawled towards him with passionate intent glistening within her blue colored eyes, the sun had just peaked all the way over the horizon, painting the bedroom with it�s lovely orange morning glow.

Her pearl colored skin was now bathed with the sun�s orange tinted pink rays, accenting her nude body in the most attractive way he could have ever imagined, and his member couldn�t help but twitch in appreciation of the young beauty before him.

She was like the goddess of the morning, her raven colored hair still in disarray and wild from their nightly activity, her eyes big and expressive of her passionate feelings and wanton desire, she possessed an inner fire that made her glow and warm his flesh without even touching him� and once again his member agreed with yet another nod of approval.

Once she had reached him, she wasted no time to climb upon him, stratteling his hips as she kissed him gently, her lips speaking of her desire without words while her fingers lightly scraping his scalp and running through his long hair. At this action, his manhood became full and hard as they continued with the gentle gesture of affection, and soon they were in a heated frenzy, Kagome still upon him, intent in being on top of things this morning.

She began to grind against his hardness, the essence of her femininity rubbing against him, coating his manhood with her flower�s nectar. It was sweet torture.

Soon she began to rock against him with more force, rubbing her swollen clit against his fully erect member, her breasts moving in time with her, which just sent Naraku reeling at the sight.

If he didn�t take over soon, he would cum all over the both of them just by watching her move upon him the way she did.

With a groan of annoyance, Naraku tore his thoughts away from the memory of that particular morning, his member completely hardened from the act of remembering just how much of a vixen was hidden underneath the innocent miko�s lovely skin.

�Master Naraku?� Kanna questioned as she fanned the fire in order to get it to grow.

�I�m injured Kanna, that�s all.� Naraku explained as he inwardly cursed himself for not realizing that Kanna had returned and had even started a fire without him noticing.

..................................................... ~*~

The persistent tang of the metallic taste of blood hung heavily within the air around her, the smell of it making her stomach churn in revolt. As if things couldn�t get any worse, she found herself with the sickening need to throw up, however with her bow and arrow already in place within her skilled hands, she was unable to give in to her stomach�s demands.

This was it! Her chance to destroy Naraku and finally be at peace was finally here! This is what she and her group that consisted of InuYasha, Sango, and Miroku had dreamed of ever since the beginning of their journeys together.

So why couldn�t she release the arrow that was already glowing brightly from the spiritual energy she transferred into it?

�This isn�t the Naraku I loved.� Kagome whispered to herself in an attempt to gather the resolve needed to put an end to all of the madness. An image of the half demon that was within shot of her arrow displayed within her mind�s eye, except that within her memory of him he was in his human form, as dashing and attractive as ever.

Right now he looked less than what she remembered. His black demonic blood sprayed from various wounds, while the rest of him looked like an endless sea of black tentacles. The only thing that remotely reminded her of the demon she had given her heart to was his torso and face� and even then, it was tainted with a certain maniacal sheen.

A tickle high within the bridge of her nose began, annoucing the tears that were soon to fall from her crystalline stormy eyes as her throat knotted at the thought of crying. Her friends needed her� they had already been out for the count, InuYasha was still fighting� though it seemed more like surviving. Sesshomaru assisted in the battle, drawing Naraku�s attention away for a few minutes while InuYasha attempted to catch his breath.

How could she cry at a time like this?!

Drawing in a deep breath in an attempt to calm herself she missed her chance since when she took the liberty to blink, one of Naraku�s black tentacles knocked her off the rock she had stood upon in order to get a better shot.

She shut her eyes tight, tears flying into the air as she fell, her body tensing in expectation of hitting the hard bloody ground� however she was left waiting.

Briefly she realized something.... she wasn�t falling anymore.... as a matter of fact.... she hadn�t hit the ground either. Curious....

Timidly, the young priestess opened her eyes to find herself within the tight, yet gentle grasp of Naraku�s tentacle, hovering in mid air as he brought her powerless body closer and closer to him. Fear lanced through Kagome as she realized that neither Inu-brother had taken note that she was being held and brought towards the raging battle. Would Naraku use her as a shield? Would either Inu-brother have the sense to stop their attack in time if Naraku used her as a shield. Would this be her time to die?

As she was brought closer to Naraku her life seemed to pass right before her very eyes� numerous events that bought her silence despite her instinct to scream.

The first was a memory of her entire year spent at Sesshomaru�s home, under his protective wing. He had decided to keep her after rescuing her from Naraku... and for some reason InuYasha hadn�t come looking for her. She remembered thinking that it was because he was finally at peace with his first and only love, Kikyo.

Strangely enough, she didn�t remember feeling jealous.

Then she remembered the first time Sesshomaru had instructed her to start training her miko abilities. What a day that had been.... the kiss he bestowed on her... it was a sweet memory. Nothing romantic had transpired between them, but a bond of sort had formed� though the bickered a lot, they had grown to be friends� and that was saying a lot considering that it was the frigid Lord of the Western lands that she was talking about.

A swift fast forward then transpired, taking her a year into the future� this time she was traveling with the expressionless Lord of the West. Their small group consisted of Sesshomaru, Jakken, A-Un, Rin, and herself, walking at a normal pace through out Japan. They were headed towards Mt. Hakurai, the place where Sesshomaru said that they would find Naraku and he planned to destroy him� once and for all.

Then she remembered the look on InuYasha�s face when he saw her for the first time in a year.... She had never seen such a look of relief, disbelief, hope, happiness, and even love in his facial expression and eyes. She didn�t expect InuYasha to react the way he did; the way he ran up to her and embraced her as if she had just come back from the dead. It was surprising to say the least that he didn�t shun her the way she thought he would.

Then she saw Kikyo die, though InuYasha seemed relived, she couldn�t help but feel sad as the part of her soul that Kikyo held returned into her. It was the end for the walking dead priestess.... the woman that had come between InuYasha and herself was now gone.

After the fight at Mt. Hakurai, InuYasha and Sesshomaru had gone off to discuss some things while she used her recently developed miko powers to destroy the miasma and poison within Miroku�s veins as a result from battle. Sango was incredibly happy to have Kagome back with them, so much so that she cried while she explained to her that the past year they had been deceived by Naraku to believe that she had died by the hands of InuYasha.

That explained everything.

Sesshomaru had left her without a word, though little Rin did bid her goodbye with a sad smile and a few tears swimming within her cinnamon colored eyes. She was left with InuYasha, and her fear of him increased with every passing day� dreading the day that he would confront her and her betrayal.

However, that day never came.

Instead, something much more unexpected happened� something that till this day she was completely unsure of how everything happened.

She remembered that night under the stars with a certain degree of fondness.... she had been avoiding being alone with InuYasha since she started traveling with him again, however after a week that changed.

That night she had gone alone for a walk, thinking about the dark hanyou that she had grown intimate with a year ago.... more specifically she thought about how she missed him despite his lies and betrayal. He was her first, and she would always remember the tenderness he showed her the first time she gave herself to him. She couldn�t help but miss being intimate anymore.... once you had a taste of forbidden fruit, it was hard not to eat the whole thing.

Around that time InuYasha had appeared and made a confession that caught her off guard.... never in a million years did she expect him to say the things he did, however she was relived that he didn�t hate her.

After that memory she remembered the blissful night of passion she shared with InuYasha, around six months after his confession. It was very unexpected, and she felt bad since InuYasha loved her so much and she only felt devotion towards him. Love was an illusive emotion that hadn�t graced her ever since her heart had been stolen by a most unforgiving captor, the dark hanyou, Naraku.

She found it ironic.... how the tables had turned and now it was her heart that belonged to someone else. Sadly though, she didn�t have the gall to do to him what he did to her all of those times when she had found him within Kikyo�s deathly cold embrace.

So she went along with it.... after all.... she wasn�t the type to rock the boat if the waters surrounding it were calm. She played the part of his devoted woman, but when it came down to the mating mark, she declined persistently, using her �priestess� duties as an excuse to wiggle out of being tied to him for life. She couldn�t say yes if her heart wasn�t there to agree with her anyway, but no one had to know that.... No one.

The last thing she saw were the faces of her loved ones in the future.... her kind hearted and understanding mother, her crazy yet lovable grandfather, and her beloved and light hearted little brother, Sota.

The sensation of wind blowing roughly against her face brought her mind back to reality, where she was currently in Naraku�s humanoid arms, away from the blood soaked battle field. Kagome could feel the nervous fear filled sweat gather and fall down from her temple, down lower to caress her face, neck and then to soak into her priestess garb.

They were flying through the forest at a lightning fast pace, their ebony hair whipping violently in the wind. Briefly, she noticed that she wasn�t being squeezed by her evil captor as she was carried bridal style towards an unknown destination.

Naraku had grown indescribably angry.... the blood left within his veins boiled and seethed in outrage. Ever since the last time he had seen the priestess Kagome, at Mt. Hakurai, he had noticed that she still held within her a piece of him� something that thankfully no one had noticed since the few shards she had in her possession concealed what was occurring within her womb. He was glad at that time that neither Sesshomaru nor the half breed, InuYasha, had noticed the gift he had left Kagome with� if they had, they would have killed her by now.

However, this new development had made him nearly explode in rage. She was pregnant� with that bastard half breed�s pups, no less! He wanted so desperately to kill her, to bathe in her sweet pure blood, however his �gift� still lived within her� and that was his insurance for the future, just incase he happened to perish.

Naraku smirked despite his fury, thinking of the terror and despair that would occur between his little traitorous bitch, Kagome, and that dirty half breed bastard, InuYasha. What would they do when they found that one of the twins within Kagome�s womb would hold within his little inu-body Naraku�s evil heart?

Yes, it had taken him a while to figure out what part of him had been taken and nurtured within Kagome�s womb, however, when he cast away his human flesh and other unnecessary things within the deep caverns of Mt. Hakurai, he noticed that his heart was neither within him, nor within the clumps of flesh he had shed. Now that he was a full demon and in possession of the nearly completed Shikon no Tama, he saw exactly what was occurring within the young beautiful priestess, thanks to his new power of insight that came along with absorbing the nearly completed jewel.

Oh how he wanted to laugh at their stupidity! The look of fear that clouded Kagome�s stormy blue eyes was priceless as Naraku gazed deeply within them, probing them with his deep crimson gaze.

Kagome�s heart skipped a beat as his beautiful rose colored eyes met hers, her stomach felt as though it were dancing in her belly, and she couldn�t help but blush despite her fear of him. There was no doubt.... even if she were involved with InuYasha.... her heart was still held by Naraku.... despite everything� his evil intentions, his plot to kill them all.... it didn�t matter to her heart since it was still held within her enemy�s grasp.

Well wasn�t this a surprise? The endearing blush that colored the miko�s cheeks was highly unexpected.... and what was this? Underneath her scent of fear, her skin smelled of sweet attraction, her heart pounding in an erratic manner.

What a pleasant distraction� if it weren�t for the fact that he was severely lacking of blood and inflicted with so many wounds� he would completely indulge in such a beautiful distraction.

�It�s been a while my dear Kagome,� Naraku nearly purred, his rage taking a back seat while he played with the frail human�s sentiments. He could have smiled when her eyes grew wide and her face colored in a deep shade red. If he didn�t bed her himself, he would have thought her a shy virgin.

He set her down upon the firm safe ground, a smirk plastered on his lips as his eyes lit up in silent laughter.

�Yes....� Kagome said timidly, a slight smile gracing her face as she shivered in delight from the sound of her name on his lips.

�A shame that we have to kill each other now that we�re back to being enemies.� Naraku said cruelly as he approached her with an evil gleam shining within his dangerously beautiful crimson eyes.

�Naraku?� Kagome asked in a light saddened tone, her fear diminishing though he pressed her against a large boulder. He was hoping to obliterate her look of relief, however his menacing presence seemed to have the opposite effect.

�What is it little prestess?� He relented, curious of what it was that was in her confusing little mind.

�I don�t want you to die.� Kagome confessed, her perfectly gray blue eyes swimming in tears of emotional conflict.

............................................... ~*~

�What a strange dream....� Kagome thought to herself as she felt herself awaken from her dream that she desperately wanted to finish. Was it a prophecy of the future to come? It seemed so realistic....

When Kagome awoke from the dream filled sleep that Naraku had woven into her, she realized that she was surrounded by ver unfamiliar surroundings, however, two very happy faces were resting upon the mattress that she was currently sprawled out upon.

The first was content to simply stare at her with a grin, while the other began to tear up with joy and relief of her safety.

�Kagome.... you�re alright!� Shippo managed to choke out, his voice constricted within the knot in his throat. He found his short legs wobbly as he attempted to climb up the mattress, however he claws were able to catch enough leverage on the material in order to get up all the way. He made his way to her side as fast as he could without hurting her when he reached her, and he was absolutely relieved when his adoptive mother held him tightly against her chest.

�Oh Shippo,� Kagome cooed as the little kit began to cry without inhibition now that he was finally reunited with the woman who had decided to love him as a son when no one else would.

Rin gave a sad knowing smile as she watched the two weep in happiness of being together again, and she couldn�t help the tears that threatened to fall from her eyes because of the heart felt love and warmth that Kagome and her new friend Shippo showed to one another.

As Shippo�s sobs quieted down, Rin decided to voice her thoughts, �I�m glad that you�re in good health Lady Kagome.� She said politely, joining the both of them on the bed with a bit of effort to climb upon it.

�It�s a good thing Lord Sesshomaru arrived to save you... I heard you were captured by Naraku, it�s amazing that you�re still alive, you must be a very powerful miko to have survived Naraku�s capture for so long!� Rin said, her hand resting on Kagome�s knee as Shippo still resided in her arms.

�Yes... it was a blessing to have Lord Sesshomaru show up when he did.� Kagome said in a sleep induced raspy voice, which she attempted to banish by clearing her throat.

With a knock and a squak Jakken entered the room, casting a glare at Rin before saying, �You insolent girl, how dare you disturb the miko!�

�No Jakken, she isn�t bothering me at all, I�m enjoying her company.� Kagome said, ruffling the child�s hair in affection.

�Lord Sesshomaru sent me to escort you to the bath house since you still have poison in your blood.� The toad looking creature said in a bit of annoyance, wishing that the miko weren�t here at the castle at all.

�Poison? I was poisoned!?� Kagome asked in an incredulous tone, anger fluttering within her chest as she scooted off the bed in order to stand, Shippo still within her protective arms.

Taking a slight step back Jakken adiablely gulped and responded,�Y-yes miko, you were poisoned, and that�s why you must draw the poison out with a medically prepared bath,� Jakken stuttered slightly before adding a whispered, �Wench.�

�What was that Jakken?� Kagome nearly growled, for some unknown reason feeling very grumpy and annoyed, Shippo slightly bouncing on her hip as they followed Jakken out the room and down a long hall, Rin humming happily as she followed them.

The bathhouse was enormous� it was a natural hot spring that had been enclosed with thick wooden walls, the roof consisting of many open highlights and expensive looking decor. It was simply breathtaking in size and splendor, the walls decorated with velvet looking crimson banners, a large white dog adorning the bottom of them.

Jakken rolled his eyes when he noticed the human wench admiring the bath house, and decided that now was just the right time to burst the look of awe that was written all over her face.

�Here is your bath human.� Jakken stated, bringing her gaze away from the splendorous hot springs as he pointed with the head of stafs to a large tin bin that was filled with what looked like water full of poop.

�What�s in that thing!? It looks and smells gross!� Shippo said, making an ugly face as he jumped from Kagome�s grasp and looked into the bin that was full of dirty looking water.

�Insolent whelp! The minerals are from volcanic dust that naturally absorb the impurities within the body. The human wench isn�t even worthy of such care, if it weren�t for Lord Sessomaru�s grace, she would be dead by now!� Jakken squawked loudly before being silenced by a glare from said human wench, Kagome.

�Well get out so I can get this over with.� Kagome said with a distasteful look crossing her features as she approached the bin that was prepared for her. Both Jakken and Shippo left the bath house, but Rin decided to stay to bring Kagome a towel and to suggest that after her 20 minute soak in the volcanic silt she should take a dip in the hot spring and use her �special soap�.

�Thank you Rin.� Kagome said with a smile before she continued, �Why don�t you join me for the bath after this stinky part is over? I�ll probably need a little help with my back, and I�ll to yours in payment, what do you think?� Kagome offered, her eyebrows wiggling up and down as Rin giggled in response. She then removed her clothing and with a winkled brow she lowered herself into the filthy feeling brown water... at least it was warm.

�I�d like that Kagome-san.� Rin said with a toothy grin, her hands flying towards Kagome�s hair to pull it up in a bun so that it didn�t get into the icky water.
Sesshomaru couldn�t help the smile that threatened to brake his usual emotionless features as he hid in the background... the miko had an endearing charm when it came to her mannerisms towards his little ward. Perhaps he would take her under his care, at least for the benefit of Rin. She was growing up and she needed contact with a female in order to teach her things that he certainly did not want the privilege of doing. No.... explaining the cycle of human females would be something that he would hope he never would have to do.

�Kagome-san?� Rin asked as she had her back scrubbed by the older woman.

�Yes?� Kagome responded with a smile as she rinsed off Rin�s small back, raising her hands to pour some shampoo into the young girls hair in order to wash that too.

�Will I look like you when I grow up?� The young girl asked, allowing Kagome to continue washing her hair.

�Well... no... you�ll look like you, only taller.� Kagome said, not fully understanding the question. Surly the young girl had seen other older women right?

�But will mine look like yours?� Rin asked as she turned and curiously pointed to Kagome�s developed chest.

�Oh...� Kagome said, a blush staining her cheeks as she thought back to the time she asked her mother the same question. How did her mom explain it to her... ahh...

Sesshomaru mentally cursed, running a hand through his long pristine locks of hair as he silently prayed that the miko didn�t say anything that would corrupt little Rin. With a steady exhalation the Lord of the West readied himself to maim her if she said anything wrong.

�Rin, all girls grow up, and you�ll know that you�re growing up when you get taller, and change in certain areas, like here,� Kagome touched her breasts, �and down there...� She said, pointing down.

�So yes, you will grow up to look kind of like me, but you�ll still have your face. Do you understand?� Kagome asked as Rin looked more closely to the older girl�s body, which made Kagome blush even more.

�Yes, I understand.� Rin said with a smile as she looked at her own little body, still unformed and hairless down there where as Kagome had a little triangle of hair.

A sigh of relief left Sesshomaru, thankful that the miko didn�t say too much or too little for Rin to handle, and he decided that she would be a perfect female role model for his little Rin to look up to, so long as she kept out of the indecent clothing she used to wear while traveling with the half breed, InuYasha.

....................................... ~*~

She peered down at her beloved with tear filled eyes, his once exuberant features now still and at peace. The curse that Naraku had placed upon him before his death had finally taken it�s toll, and he had passed away, leaving her desperately alone. At this realization, Kagome couldn�t help but sob with more emotion as she laid her head upon his bare muscular chest. How could she bear this pain alone?

Her tears cascaded freely down her face from her stormy colored eyes, landing perfectly upon her beloved hanyou�s sculpted chest, only to roll down onto the plush futon. Who would be there to make her smile when things weren�t going the way they should? Who would tell her the honest truth that she never wanted to admit, and still love her despite all of her mistakes? InuYasha had been there, they had been through hell together and survived.... was this new peaceful heaven worth being apart of if she couldn�t share it with the man she loved?

She cried with more force as she continued to mull over such thoughts, her hands running all over the expanse of her beloved�s chest and arms in an effort to keep the warmth from leaving his dead body.

All of this was viewed in silence from a pair of striking golden eyes. It pained him to see his father gone, though it was his mother�s reaction to his father�s death that pained him even more. He refused to cry... he was the oldest male, the one that his father had appointed �the man of the house� before he left for the afterlife, and he would be damned if he let his father down.

With a slight glance away from his mother, he looked to his right to see his little brother�s horrified expression. Identical to his own eyes, his brother�s golden gaze reflected his inner tremulous cocktail of pain, sadness, and a certain broken quality that came in reaction to seeing their mother in such a state of emotional destitution. With a lingering stare, he saw as his brother�s eyes began to overflow with tears until they found their way down his young features, the sparkle in his brother�s eyes briefly amazing him. This was the first time he could ever remember seeing his brother cry. Before he could continue his stoic observation, his younger brother approached the scene of their mother cradling their father�s body with timidity in his step, and with every additional foot closer, he sped up until he finally reached their mother and father with a gentle leap upon the futon.

He began to hug their parents, crying with more force as he too made an effort to keep father warm by helping his mother rub his cold arms and chest. It was too much... he couldn�t keep back his own tears, he couldn�t be the man his father wanted him to be.... it was too much.

�Forgive me father.� The eldest son whispered before joining his parents and brother upon the futon in an effort to console his mother and brother with his own tears of sadness and pain.

A/N:

The next chapter is already being worked on. Don�t be surprised to see more glimpses of the future to come, I�ll try my best to not be confusing. Fall semester is starting up, so pray that I be able to find the time to finish up chapter 7.

Important facts:

InuTaisho and Tokemaru are twin sons of Kagome and InuYasha, just incase you didn�t understand. Their drawings (by yours truly) are on the Naraku/Kagome yahoo group in the photo section if you wish to view it.

The �oddity� with Tokemaru will be discussed within the next chapter, incase you don�t already know, he has within him a little gift from Naraku.

This chapter was originally 20 pages long, however, I cut it down to 16 pages. Chapter 7 will run smoothly along with this one, so please look forward to it.

Electronically Yours,

Kinoko
