Kagome walked along the dirt road feeling the eyes of her pack members as they bore through her. Though no one spoke to her about it, she knew what was causing their unrest, for it was the same thing that caused hers. Sesshoumaru. She put a hand to her as it pulsed in response to the thought, giving her a moments reprieve from the searing heat of it. The pack members weren't the only ones that had a problem with the split. The pendant started to emit a searing , nearly unbearable heat barely an hour after Sesshoumaru's departure. She'd tried to take it off but she found that the clasp had disappeared and the chain was too small to fit over her head. That very same night when she'd met her mother for another session she'd sensed disappointment from the cloaked figure. Flashback "Mother?" The woman stayed where she was standing beside a tree staring up into its branches. Kagome continued on. "The pendant is burning me and I can't get it off." The woman turned in her direction and nodded as if in agreement. With the necklace. She agrees with the necklace. The woman nodded again. But why? After what seemed like an eternity of silence, Kagome was startled as the elder miko spoke. "Why did you separate from Sesshoumaru?" Kagome stared at the faceless hooded figure. "I…I…" She didn't know what to say. Because I'm afraid. "What are you afraid of?" It was the last thing she heard before she was forced from the vision. End Flashback Kagome sighed and glance over her shoulder feeling a pang in her heart as she did so. Shippo and Rin had been absolutely depressed since Sesshoumaru's departure. Rin said they missed having Jaken as a playmate, but Kagome knew it was more than that. It's not that fun to torture Jaken. When the packs split, it'd crushed the illusion they'd had of family. She felt guilt well up in her as she realized that she'd thought of nothing but herself when she made her decision. Glancing at the children again, her heart went out to them. I shouldn't have taken your father away from you. I promise to find some way to make it up to you. Sango sighed as she petted Kirara. She and Miroku had woken up and the taiyoukai and his retainer were nowhere to be found. Sango's senses as a woman and as Kagome's sister told her that Kagome was highly upset. Her suspicions were confirmed when Miroku said he sensed a great unsettlement in her aura. What's going on Kagome? (^_^) Naraku growled as he threw Kagura into the wall. There was something going on with his enemies, but he had no idea what and it angered him beyond all reason. The miko, Kagome, was getting stronger in ways he'd never imagined. The taiyoukai and his group were travelling with her group and something was interfering with his visual of them. He'd lost visual of Inuyasha two days ago. The last he'd checked he'd been sitting by the Bone Eater's Well and then poof he'd disappeared. The ookami was off training like there was no tomorrow. To top it all off the jewel something was happening to the jewel. It was no longer the black pearl he'd tainted it to be. Nor was it the pink of a purified jewel. Instead it was swirling set of black, purple, burgundy, green, and silver. It took almost everything he had to keep it under control as the jewels chaotic power became a severe threat. What the fuck is going on? Oh he was angry and frustrated. He glared at Kagura for daring to disobey him. He'd even let her out of her cell. "You are MY incarnation to do with as I please. I could have taken you in your cell, but I'd chosen to bring you to my chambers instead. All you have to do is service your master." He began to stalk her and Kagura could only look at him, fear, anger and hatred written all over her face. (^_^) Inuyasha watched as Asami and Akeno walked hand in hand and pointed out various things in their surroundings to Souta. When he asked questions, Inuyasha would answer what they could not due to the centuries that'd passed since they'd been in feudal Japan. All the while he was thinking to himself. They'd said he'd been arrested but he couldn't understand why they were treating him so nicely if that were the case. And who'd I commit treason against anyways. "Hey, Inuyasha. What's on your mind?" Inuyasha looked at the blue eyed Souta. "Nothing much just thinking about this arrest thing." "Ah, so that's what has you so quiet," Asami jumped into the conversation. "What are you going to do with me?" Everyone stopped walking and looked at him. "We're taking you to the princess so that you may be tried. Her verdict shall be passed properly this time. We're taking our time to get you there though to ensure that she will be ready," Akeno answered. They watched as fear and sadness filled the poor hanyou. They're taking me to Kagome. I'm a dead hanyou walking. "Cheer up, Inu," Souta consoled. "Everything will be fine. Just you wait and see." Looking at his eyes felt a shiver run up his spine. What's going on? (^_^) When they reached the village, they were greeted by a parade led by the village leader. Kagome was surprised to see that it was a woman and was even more surprised by a familiar energy she sensed in her aura and the aura of most of the villagers. The parade was filled with men and women of all ages and sizes. They mostly wore varying shades of purple and other colors as accents to their clothing. Kagome took note of their interesting eye colors seeing how they were all different shades found in nature. The leader had magenta eyes and wore magenta pants with billowy legs and slits up the side. Her matching off-shoulder top had a high bust line and slits in it from the waist line to the bust line. She had what Kagome could only describe as Shirley Temple curls brushing against her shoulders being held back by a crystal head band. "There was word of a tachi that travelled the country side with a woman as their alpha. I, Demiyah, the matriarch of this village, am pleased to welcome you to the Kifujin Murasaki village. We humbly ask that you accept our hospitality for it is considered a blessing in this village to be visited by another matriarch." She bowed and the villagers followed suit waiting for Kagome's reply. Kagome bowed and the others followed suit. "My name is Kagome. I am the shikon miko. We are travelling the country side hunting down the demon Naraku and gathering the sacred jewel shards. Danger follows us so we dare not stay long, but we dare not insult such a gracious people. We will stay for but a while." Everyone rose from their bows and the villagers cheered. Miroku was led away by a group of monks and young women. Sango was about to follow when a group of hunters approached her. They walked away as Sango answered their barrage of questions with Kilala in her arms. The Rin and Shippo ran off to play with the village children as the people followed to watch them. Ah-Un stood there waiting for Kagome's orders. Kagome understood this. "Go hunt something to eat if you're hungry, and then guard the children." They each licked one of her cheeks before taking off into the air into the surrounding forest. The rest of the villagers dispersed into their duties leaving Kagome and Demiyah. "Come," came Demiyah's musical voice. Kagome followed her to a cottage. She realized that their homes were more than mere huts. Hmmm, this is weird. When they were finally seated in what Kagome assumed was a sitting room Demiyah began to speak. "Hmm, it is strange to meet two true mikos unattached to any clan." "Two? But I'm the only miko in my tachi." Kagome's brows knotted together in confusion. Demiyah tilted her head to the side studying Kagome in an almost bird like fashion. "You're not lying… So you truly do not know that the little girl is one of miko blood. The shikon miko..." Realization lit her magenta eyes. "You're the miko that shattered the sacred jewel. We'd thought it was a human priestess that shattered the jewel. It'd been rumored that the woman was the reincarnation of the jewels previous protector. We'd scoffed at the human's claiming her to be a miko." Kagome's face flushed and she sighed. "Yes, I shattered the jewel and I am the reincar…" "No! You! Are! Not! It is impossible for you to be Kikyo's reincarnation," Demiyah sneered the name. "She was but a mere human priestess that got in over her head. But you are a true miko." "But…" Demiyah calmed some. "Kagome, it pains me to find that you were so miss informed about yourself and our people, but you must understand that the only thing you are an incarnation of as a miko is Kami and the Earth. You are you and no one else. Kikyo had been a human priestess that only found out about mikos through her contact with the sacred jewel. She tried to be one of us and it cost her her life." Kagome could only nod her head as her mind tried to sort through all the new information. "So she didn't take my soul?" Demiyah laughed and it was a joyous sound like that of a stream flowing through a meadow. "Of course not. She'd simply taken her own soul. Even in death she wanted to be a miko. When her body was burned with the jewel, her soul attached itself to the jewel. Did you truly believe you'd been living with half a soul?" Her eyes glittered like beautiful pink jewels. Kagome blushed a light pink. "Oh come now. There's no need for that. No one can blame you for such a thought. When you'd entered this village I'd sensed that you were upset care to have a talk, miko to miko?" She watched as Kagome's face shut down, leaving only her eyes to show what the young woman was feeling. Demiyah was unsettled by what she saw in those eyes. "What am I afraid of?" Kagome's eyes lost their light making them the same dull shade of brown as those of human eyes. She told her an edited version of her encounters with the taiyoukai since Inuyasha's exhile. When she was done Demiyah sighed. "Ah, tell me, have you had any training or schooling?" She watched Kagome debate how much she should say. "I'd been training with Sango, a human priestess, and Sesshoumaru. By schooling, I'm assuming you are talking about our people, I've only learned a few things from someone that comes to me in visions." Demiyah sighed as she stood and walked to the sliding door of the sitting room. "It is time you gained the knowledge you've been deprived of, before something more serious happens. Come." (^_^) Sesshoumaru looked out of his window over his lands as he finished with the last of his scrolls. Looking over the horizon he thought of the young miko Kagome. He wanted her like he'd wanted no woman that ever came before and he doubted that he'd want any woman half as much. Kagome was special and far different from any woman or man that he'd ever encountered before. Although being a miko was a part of it, that wasn't the reason why. Even when he'd thought she was merely a human he'd been more than a little intrigued by her. He looked over his lands and thought of her leading her pack as they travelled. His beast whimpered recalling their separation. Had it not been for his quick thinking Sesshoumaru was sure that they'd have lost their chance with her forever. Now he needed to think of how he would go about courting her this time. He was sure he'd done something wrong to have warranted her wanting a separation. Should have just claimed her. No, then she would feel forced. You still think of her in human mating terms. This gave Sesshoumaru pause. It was true that when they'd started out he had chosen to go about this at a human pace, but as he thought of her actions he began to realize that maybe he should change his tactics. Hn, this Sesshoumaru shall combine human and youkai courting rituals. Make no mistake she will be ours.Sesshoumaru's beast howled at the decree. His work done he left his study. He had work to do. He called forth four of his top spies. Two were fox/wolf demon twins, with lithe bodies and gray eyes. One twin, Shiro, wore all white and had his pale blond hair pulled back into a high pony-tail that brushed against the nape of his neck. His brother, Kuro, dressed in all black left his equally black hair to brush his shoulders. "Shiro! Kuro! You are to watch over the shikon miko and her pack. Rin and Ah-Un are travelling with them. Let no harm be fall them. Make no advancements on the miko, she is this Sessshoumaru's to claim. Do not get caught and do not underestimate her powers. Aid the pack in any way that you can without being discovered. I wish to have reports twice a day. These orders must be followed to that highest letter. Failure is not an option." "Hai, Sesshoumaru-sama." They then disappeared. The third was a hawk demon. He'd cropped his red hair short and wore a mix of gray and red. His golden eyes were bright and attentive, as he looked at his lord, moving his head in a bird like manner as if to get a better understanding. "Renjiro! You are to search out the priestess Kikyo. Simply gather information on her. Retreat if attacked. You are not to engage her in battle." Renjiro walked away then. The last of the four was Natsu, a pure inuyoukai. Her tan skin and brown hair and eyes were complemented by the green of her outfit. She had been around since his mother's time she was half a century older than him and fiercely loyal. She was diplomatic and an excellent communicator which made her perfect for this. "You, Natsu are to search out a species of creature's called miko. Find any information you can. Where they are, who they are, their mating habits, their culture, their powers, everything. Interact with them, but do not cause unnecessary mischief. This Sesshoumaru wants an accurate, detailed report by the end of your mission." Natsu kept her facial expression schooled as thoughts raced through her mind. Miko? But they haven't been spoken of for quite sometime. They'd faded into the current human thoughts of them even before milords great- great- great great- great- great- grandfather. How is it he knows of them? Could it be... "Hai, but if I may be permitted to make inquiries milord." "Continue," Sesshoumaru said. He couldn't help but indulge her once in a while. "Is it the miko Kagome that milord has chosen?" Sesshoumaru smirked. This is why he'd chosen her for her mission. The woman was intelligent and could easily put together information accurately. He was sure that he'd have his report in a week or less. "This Sesshoumaru and his beast have indeed chosen the miko Kagome to be our mate." She studied him for a second. Perhaps it'd be best i not mention my knowledge of the miko and her kind. "She has accepted, has she not?" He growled in frustration then. "She is a complex creature. This Sesshoumaru doubts that even she understands herself." He watched as a smile lit Natsu's face. "Ah, a worthy female has finally appeared in this world for milord. If only Inutaisho were here to see this day." Before he could stop her, she pulled him into a crushing hug. "This Natsu will aid Sesshoumaru in any way she can." Pulling back she looked at him sensing that he had something to say. Sesshoumaru opened his mouth to ask for her advice in the courting ritual, but found that he couldn't speak. This was a field he'd never encountered before and he was unprepared to handle it. This thing called love. As she looked into the eyes of her best friend, Natsu understood his dilemma. She hugged him again then as tears of joy ran down her face. Inutaisho would be proud to see the youkai you'd become Sesshoumaru.
