Mating and Merger
Kikyo wandered back towards her sister's village to meet up with Inuyasha. She felt bad for causing his exile and for how she'd treated the young kit. In fact there was a great many things she regretted doing since pinning Inuyasha to the sacred tree all those years ago. It's a wonder that I can still be considered a priestess. She thought back to her life then, back to her need to be a true miko. That's where I went wrong. That's where it all went wrong. She'd thought to become a whole other species, and defy the very laws of nature. Ha, such arrogance, but I know better now. If only it hadn't taken my death for me to learn. Yes, her death had taught her a great many things. After all, she had spent 50 earthly years in the spiritual realm just watching the world with no hope of ever returning. She couldn't even guard the jewel, as it'd gone off to its true protector when it was burned with her body.
Inuyasha… She truly did love him. If ever I had a reason to redo all I'd done, you are that reason. Yet still with this second chance I continue to do wrong. Her death had trapped her spirit in eternal turmoil. She was too lost in her thoughts to notice a certain hawk demon watching her or notice that she was think aloud. She gave a sigh as she heard a bird take off over head.
(^_^)
"Okay, run that by me again," Kagome watched Demiyah's movements carefully as she tried to accurately matched them. Demiyah sighed.
"Miko, more so the women than the men, are like the Earth. And as the Earth brings for life so do we, but just like the earth there must be a struggle in the process. The harder the struggle the better the creation. Miko mating follows the same principle. Your resistance in to the taiyoukai is an example of this. Tell me young Kagome have you ever encountered such a hard time with admitting simply to yourself how you feel about a potential suitor?" Demiyah saw an opening when Kagome gave pause to think on this.
Demiyah's hand just barely brushed past her cheek. Hojo, psh, that had been so easy. It was simple. All the girls at school wanted Hojo. She sighed as she watched Demiyah for openings. Inuyasha was a little harder to admit to, but when I did admit it I lost myself to it. The memory brought a surge of power to her as she lunged for Demiyah. When Demiyah caught her hands, Kagome brought both feet up into her stomach and used the force of it to help her flip backwards and land on her feet.Ugh, and Koga. Ugh, flattering but a total no brainer straight from the beginning. In fact there wasn't much of one. The power from that thought allowed her to spin away from Demiyah's attack at the last instant and land a hit with the palm of her hand in the center of the woman's back. Now, there's Sesshoumaru and while I've already admitted to myself how I feel about him I still have a hard time facing it.
They both paused to catch their breath. "I've never had this much trouble. In fact even after admitting it it's excruciating." Demiyah nodded.
"It seems we're progressing quite nicely, in both lessons. I admire the control you have physically. Thank you for your care in that attack. Now, on the matter of miko mating. Hmm, let us see now. Oh! I must remember to advise you that as a female miko you have 2 types of heat. The first more traditionally thought of form of heat is that meant for the conception of children. It occurs every three weeks until the mated pair has decided they no longer wish to continue having children." She watched as a thought flitted across Kagome's face and instantly knew what her new friend was thinking.
"No worries Kagome, somehow miko only bleed every two heats. Now, the second type of heat is different from the first. It is not nearly as predictable an occurrence. This comes from it being literally its name sake. It is the peak of built up heated emotions. It occurs more often for some then for others. Children only come out of these ruts if the afore mentioned heat occurs at the same time," she pauses as Kagome takes in the information. Watching for the opening she knew her next words would bring she continued. "Actually, there is an exception. Some youkai have the ability to procreate during this heat."
Kagome was properly distracted by that and was not prepared when Demiyah lunged at her and put her in a head lock.
"What kinds of youkai?" she managed to choke out.
"Most canine especially inu, feline's and only the strongest dragons," Demiyah replied nonchalantly as she released Kagome from her grasp. "Hmm, basically only the most powerful of the youkai the possess humanoid forms can do this." She watched as Kagome gasped and sputtered.
"I believe we've had enough for now," Demiyah handed the red faced miko a canteen of water. Hmm, is she red from the training or from thoughts of the taiyoukai."Come, I believe it would be good for you to interact with those of our kind." She led the way from the meadow back to the village. She was well aware of the youkai that watched the area. They are of little consequence. She glanced out of the corner of her eyes at Kagome. Had Demiyah not been interested in meeting Kagome and Rin, their pack would not have been able to spot the village. For the two fox/wolf youkai, it appeared to simply be another undeveloped area of woodland.
And still they linger. Could it be that it is Kagome's pack they are after? They do not hold ill intent. If anything they hold extreme worry. Could the western lord have sent them to secretly aid their travels?
(^_^)
Natsu decided to travel with Sesshoumaru to eliminate the need to return to the palace. She was content with the silence accepting it as part of who he was.
"Sesshoumaru, is the miko good enough to be yours or need she some improvement?" He gave no acknowledgement that he'd heard or was willing to answer. He kept with his steady stride. She sighed knowing he'd ignore her just as soon as he'd answer.
"Natsu, it is this Sesshoumaru that is in need of improvement," he finally replied.
Natsu arched her brow at this. "How so?" Sesshoumaru sighed as he thought over her question. The miko is…
"The miko is everything," his beast spoke for him. Together, they spoke to Natsu of the miko, their Kagome. "The miko is simple to the point of complexity. She is fierce and dangerous, but kind and caring. A submissive and a dominant. She has the power to destroy many and the strength to save and create. She is child-like and still somehow motherly. She is both predator and prey." Natsu looked at him wide eyed. They're merging. She never thought she'd see the day when Sesshoumaru, son of the late Inutaisho, would become one being. I most certainly must meet Lady Kagome.
"This Sesshoumaru is vicious, a destroyer who's only power is to destroy. I am Lord of the Western Lands, most powerful, most wealthy youkai in all these lands and the continent. But it matters not to one such as her. All these things are worthless. For her, all these things that make me great to other women, make me just another youkai."
Natsu gave him a weighing look before turning away with a sigh. "That was true, at a point in time before now, but it is no longer so. You've saved and protected lives for quite some time now. You're a father figure to a certain little human girl. You are no longer hell bent on killing a certain hanyou half-brother. Even now you're changing Sesshoumaru. You are becoming a single entity, you and your beast. I had no doubt in you before, and still you continue to become greater and greater."
(^_^)
Off in the mountains, the sense of unrest was growing within the wolf tribe. The wolves watched as Koga pushed his body to the limits.
"Hey, Koga. You're scarying everyone. Will just tell us what's wrong?" Ginta spoke with Hakkaku standing behind him. They startled when Koga turn a feral look to them.
"Calm down Koga! We're pack," Hakkaku said as he and Ginta lowered themselves to the ground as a sign of submission. Koga merely snarled at them. His red eyes followed as they lowered themselves into submission. This is what he craved, submission, not simply from them but from all, including a certain raven-haired, human beauty. She'd suffered him a great indignity. He growled at the memory of being forced to crawl away in front of his chosen female and the most powerful demon alive. Koga howled a decree promising punishment, bloodshed, and lust.
(^_^)
Sitting in the meadow that had been the meeting ground between herself, her daughter, and the Sesshoumaru, Kagome's mother pulled her cloaks hood back from her face as she held the hand of the man that meant the world to her. Soon my love we'll be free. Her curtain of midnight locks surrounded them as she bent to press her forward to his. Her purple eyes searched his face, in vain, for signs of recovery. His crimson red hair, once cut in short, chaotic layers had long since grown out and laid pooled on the ground under him. His skin remained a sickly gray color and she felt a sliver of doubt. Please don't let it be too late. Don't let our imprisonment here be for naught. Quickly she pushed the thought away. No. I believe in you Hayate and I believe in our daughter. Kami-sama help me to believe in myself.
(^_^)
Kanna stood over Kagura looking at her with a blank expression. She too wished for freedom but was trapped. She was thankful however that Naraku had never used her for release. Kagura lay on the ground of her cell in a puddle of bodily fluids. Kanna was angered at the marks left on her younger sister's flesh. So much suffering. So much sorrow. So much pain. While Kagura wished to be free like the wind, Kanna wished to be a young child with a family. A mother. A father. Siblings. Her mirror helped her see things and she knew what was coming for Kagura. You'll get your freedom, someday little sister, although not in the way you'd hoped. Still, you'll be happy. But what of my fate? Kanna knew not what was in store for her and it made her pain all the more worse.
"Kanna," called Naraku. With one last look at her sister Kanna grudgingly went to her master, thanking Kami that she was a void child and could keep her thoughts hidden.
(^_^)
Kuro and Shiro debated whether or not to alert their lord to the disappearance of their charge. She and the pack were completely gone. Not even their auras could be sensed. Kuro looked at his brother. "There is a barrier here, but it does not seem malicious."
Shiro nodded. "They are safe, but it is still our assignment to watch over them. We know nothing of this barrier and there are chances that conditions within could deteriorate quickly." Kuro nodded.
"I will report to the lord."
Within the barrier Demiyah sensed the growing unrest of the youkai outside her barrier. From what she could gather on them, she could tell they were allies not enemies. Demiyah decided she would kill two birds with one stone in her next lesson. No need to cause a panic or let them in. Pausing in her stride she waited for Kagome to notice she'd stopped walking
"Kagome, how much control do you have over your aura?" Kagome thought about it for a moment.
"I can focus it to an extent when I'm fighting or healing someone."
"Can you expand it or shape it?"
"Umm," she bit her bottom lip. "I can channel it into things and I can make it into a lightning bolt." Demiyah gave her a look that was part surprised and part calculating.Her taiyoukai has taught her much. He must have taught her as if he was teaching a youkai. That would be the only way to explain her ability to manifest her aura in the form of lightning. The channeling must be from the human priestesses teachings.
"Your tai and priestess have taught you much. A demonstration of your powers, if you will." She handed Kagome a bow and quiver of arrows knowing those were the preferred weapons for human priestesses. She closed her eyes and felt Kagome channel reiki into the arrow before shooting it skyward where it burst into a shower of pink light.
"Excellent," Demiyah congratulated her. She took the weapons from Kagome and watched as the young miko closed her eyes and seemingly out of nowhere held a bolt of lightning in her hand. "You truly are a royal miko. I'd suspected as much. Now I have proof, for only the royals are strong enough to even attempt and survive what you have just done." Kagome's alarmed eyes snapped to her face. Argh, what I just keep moving on up in the hierarchy of control and leaders. Demiyah merely laughed her joyous laugh. "Come now learn rather than force your aura smaller, expand it. Close your eyes and simply feel it spread and wash over the Earth." Kagome did so and was surprised to find a barrier. She was too preoccupied with the barrier however to notice the youkai on the other side of the barrier. However, Kuro and Shiro quickly relaxed when they felt her aura wash over them and shared a single thought. She is well.
Kagome pulled her aura back in with a sigh. That was so refreshing. She turned and arched a brow at Demiyah. "Have you heard any of the history of our kind?" Kagome nodded. "The barrier is there to keep trouble out. It is selective as to which travelers encounter our village and which encounter another expanse of forest. It is replaced with each village chief so that it may operate according to our wills. I brought it down upon your arrival so that you all wouldn't feel threatened. Now, let us continue on. I believe it is time we returned to your companions."
Upon arrival in the village, Kagome was tackled by Rin and Shippo. "Kagome-sama!"
"Okaa-san!"
"Rin learned that she's a miko just like Kagome-sama! Sesshoumaru –sama will be so proud and Rin can zap Jaken-sama."
"Kagome, they started teaching me how to fight and I got to spar with some guys. It was so awesome!"
On and on the children went. "Okay, okay! I'm very proud and happy for you both, but calm down. I need a break. Let's get something to eat." The children cheered and Kagome watched as they bounded off towards Demiyah's home. When she reached the cottage, she stopped by Ah-Un to check on them. They merely rubbed their heads on each of her cheeks. Inside Kagome found Sango and Miroku sitting together. She arched a brow at them. Sango merely blushed as Miroku winked at her. Kagome locked her eyes with Sango and a silent conversation passed between them. They would be discussing things later.
(^_^)
Natsu waited patiently on a cliff side for Sesshoumaru who'd gone hunting. Guess I'll be here for a while. She knew Sesshoumaru had to deal with things on his own terms and hunting would be an excellent way to test his merged mind and body. He'll have to get used to being the only person in his head. She laughed at that thought. Hmm, he's finding his balance. An important concept when dealing with miko. She closed her eyes and tilted her face up letting sunlight warm her face. She sensed a familiar youki approach and put a foot out. She laughed when Jaken did the predictable and tripped over her foot therefore performing a face plant.
"What is it, Jaken? Weren't you taking care of things at the palace?"
"This lowly Jaken has completed the tasks left for him by Lord Sesshoumaru. I wish to accompany milord and Lady Natsu." Natsu rolled her eyes.
"That's something for Sesshoumaru to decide." Suddenly, Jaken went flying into the air. Natsu laughed as she looked at Sesshoumaru who was licking blood off the bottom half of his face. "What was that for?"
Sesshoumaru gave an imperceptible shrug. "I felt like it."
"Oh wow. Playfulness and lack of third person references. Amazing! What other new tricks have you learned?" Sesshoumaru's face went back to its usual regal mask at her teasing.
"I guess I better go get Jaken. You kicked him pretty hard. Oh and it's nice that you let go of your mask. One thing you should learn is to drop your mask around Kagome. Let her see all of you. It helps A LOT." With that she disappeared into the forest. She found Jaken dangling and unconscious in a tree.
(^_^)
Somewhere else in the lands, Inuyasha was running for his life. "Aw come on Inuyasha. It'll be harmless. I promise." Souta ran behind him with glowing hands. Asami and Akeno simply watched and laughed at their sons antics.
"He really likes it here," Asami said to her husband.
"Well, of course. This is where we belong." Their lips nearly met when they heard a yowl as Souta caught Inuyasha.
"Where're my ears!"
"MOM! DAD! I think I did something wrong!"
