Chapter 1

 

 

The male put his hand to the `normal' looking demon with black hair, fresh from a fight, blood covered, as soon as the portal closed. “You're serious about this Chenja?”

Chenja looked at the youkai of a dark blue skin color. He had a white headband and had longish black hair in one single braid out of the way wearing traditional garbs. There was also a series of white markings along the left side of his body. He nodded.

“I had to let him go back Akumu.” He looked down as the violent sky of Makai raged over his head. “I see you figured out what's going to happen to Reitouzoku then.”

Akumu looked around not sure why they were where they were. “He'll go back to Rekai and either he'll be killed if one of the spirit detectives are alive, either because they gave up and don't care any longer or because they figured out that Reitouzoku was lying to them even when he said he was telling the truth about Koenma… Or what I'm hoping is more probably that he'll live and no one will suspect him.”

Chenja looked around as well. “I don't know which one is going to happen and since we can't be seen around him in spirit world any longer we'll have to wait for him to come out of Rekai on his own.” He started walking. “And that could take years if he doesn't feel it's safe enough.”

Akumu was following him walking through the grass. “Where are we in this area of demon world. No one lives here.”

Chenja continued walking. “I told you I had a contingency plan. I didn't think it would be needed, but I have one. There's a grave site up ahead-“ He stopped next to a green and orange tree turning to Akumu. “How long were we in your nightmare for. Your time is different than this time.”

“About three days, why.”

Chenja closed his eyes and continued to walk. “I don't want the body decomposed.” He came to the grave site and stood over it. “Shouldn't matter much though.”

Akumu looked down at the small mound with daisies, very odd for the area they were in, covering the area in some sort of pattern. He figured it out quickly as Chenja began to dig, himself helping him out.

“The fox buried the wench here. I've never seen this flower in this area of Makai. But why are we digging her body up.”

Chenja tired out from his injuries and let Akumu continue. “Before Reitouzoku died I had him check out all of their files. You remember how we told you when that ancient necklace was placed around her she reverted to a ningen miko.” He saw him nod, digging still, carefully. “Reitouzoku wasn't sure how, but she comes from a line of mikos-“

Akumu looked at him stopping the dig. “-how the hell is that possible she's full blood youkai, even if forbidden.”

Chenja shook his head. “I don't know, but it's the truth.” He saw him continue to dig and saw an area of deep red cloth covered with dirt being uncovered. “And her line of miko were the ones that guarded the shikkon no tama. Reitouzoku sent her back in time and was supposed to have her give it to him, but when she lied to him telling him it was gone he decided to let her hold onto it as a contingency plan. If something went wrong with him, us, the plan that did go wrong we could unwish it on the jewel.”

Akumu had most of the silk cloth uncovered. “You mean make someone else wish it for us. I do not want any curse that damned thing has upon me.”

Chenja nodded. “Of course. But Reitouzoku let her hold onto it, and he told me that since no one sensed it and the spirit detectives thought he had it, she had to of put it back inside of her body where it was reformed. So it has to be in here. She's the only other one who had known of it.”

Akumu lifted the red silk wrapped body out of the ground unwrapping the body, seeing the gruesome scars, wounds, a massive hole through her chest area, the smell of death and dead blood.

“Ganban did well, before she killed him and herself. Where's the jewel.”

Chenja looked at the body moving the pants down on her side and cut into the starburst scar on her hip-

He made a noise. “-it's not there.” He started cutting into her body. “She doesn't even have it any longer where the hell-“

Akumu looked at the body trying to make sense of it. “-No one came into her grave site- Chenja look.”

Akumu pointed to a small scar just below her heart. “How did you notice.”

Akumu cut it open. “While you became frustrated and angry I focused… It's empty.” He stood. “But that just means we know she gave it to someone to guard for her.” He walked off. “And we have to find that person.”

-

“Can't get me!...Can't reach me!... Too slow!”

A silver fox demon stood walking outside of a house seeing a kitsune jumping around a half demon three years younger than him. The kitsune was completely silver with amber eyes with specks of red in them. The half demon looked full blood and no one could really tell unless they knew him. He had very dark brown hair, almost black, long, ruff, with markings all over his body. And dark brown eyes. He tried getting something from the fox demon jumping around.

“Damnit Nijuu give it back now you know my Mother doesn't want me kicking your ass near the house!”

Nijuu laughed still jumping, waving at his father who just came out of the house. “Not my fault you have to go to school Shio!” He laughed, landing no longer jumping and tossed the book at him, jumping off before he could hit him. “Go become weaker but so much stronger with your little brain-“

The adult kitsune cut him off. “-Nijuu.”

Nijuu nodded. “Allright father.” His tail shoved Shio. “And you forgot to put makeup on.”

Shio nodded running off. “Thanks Nijuu! I'll do it on the way!”

Nijuu turned as he ran off with his book bag looking at his father. They lived in a secluded section of the country. Grassland, forest, and of course temple off in the distance. There wasn't a neighbor for a kilometer. The house was shared by his family and Shio's family, quaint, enough room. He smiled at his father revealing a fang.

“Awh you know I like playing with him.” He laughed some. “Easy too. I didn't do anything too vast this time.”

The adult smiled a bit at him. “If you're going to do it next time make sure to cover your scent more so Yusuke doesn't pick up that you were the one who did it. He'll know, but can't really prove it.”

He smirked. “Allright then. I'm still in training to be the great Yoko Kurama like you Dad.”

Yoko shook his head. “Who told you that.”

He smiled big. “Why father why would I ever tell such a thing just happened to hear it on the wind.” He saw a small child run past, around five years in age with thick black hair and markings with something in his hand. “Probably a book.”

Yoko nodded. “You're getting better.”

Nijuu looked at him. “Have you seen Zokusai father? I haven't seen him since you and him went to visit Mom's new grave site.”

Yoko looked up. “That was a week ago. I'm surprised that you're eighteen and still not used to him not wanting to be around anyone much.”

Nijuu nodded. “I know. Just miss him. He is my brother.” He smiled at him. “Can I go with Yusuke and Katsumo to Makai Dad?” His tail wagged. “He's taking him today for more training and he said I could go if I asked you?”

Yoko smiled some. “He always says you can go. And I always say you can.” He saw his son turn hearing footsteps inside. “What's got you smiling.”

A male with black hair, long, very ruff, very ragged with black markings all over himself came outside of the door with a large smile on his face with his honey brown eyes. “You'll find out when Kieko gets home.” He saw Yoko smirk, and Nijuu smirk and laughed. “You're too young for that still Nijuu!”

Nijuu growled some. “Fine…Ready to go?”

Yusuke turned around. “Oi! Get out now!”

A male shorter than Yusuke by about six centimeters came outside with long brown hair, slightly ruffed up, black markings, yawning. “Dad?” He smiled at Nijuu. “You can come too?”

Nijuu noooded. “Yup let's go Katsumo!”

Yoko smiled seeing the two run off speaking to Yusuke. “You asked for it.”

Yusuke laughed to himself. “He's not that much of a hassle and knows when to be himself and do as told.” He walked off. “Later.”

Yoko sat on the roof in remembrance thinking to himself seeing Yusuke's youngest, and last only according to Kieko, Souta, running around.

`They named him after your brother.'

A woman with shorter brown hair wearing business attire rode up to the house on her bike and got off taking her briefcase with her. Her youngest son ran up hugging her smiling.

“Hi Mommy!”

She smiled at him hearing a soft Kieko in acknowledgment above from the roof. “Hi Souta. Did you have fun today?”

He nodded. “Daddy took Katsumo and Nijuu to the other place and I told him I didn't wanna go!” He smiled being held in her arms carried inside. “I wanna spend the next week with you!”

Kieko spoke setting Souta down. “That's fine with me then. And by the way Yoko Shuichi said he'd stop by. I saw him leaving from work today and he broke up with another girlfriend.”

Yoko shook his head on the roof. `That boy's hopeless without me.' He smirked. `I told him books wouldn't work out in the long run. Money but he's still a virg-`

Yoko jumped off of the roof seeing a kitsune walking out of the forest. He was pure black with a silver under belly and four tails, completely black. He morphed into his humanoid form having black hair with some of the back layers silver. He looked up some and nodded.

“Dad.”

Yoko looked at him. “Zokusai.”

He nodded. “Who's all inside.”

“You don't want to be inside now.”

He growled some. “Souta… Brat.”

Yoko nooded. “Shuichi is coming over. When he leaves we'll travel for a few days.”

Zokusai nodded. “Good.”

Yoko looked at him smelling Shuichi on the wind. `Always bad timing.' “I need to talk to you about something later.”

Zokusai also smelled him on the wind. “He can wait. Ask me. You let me my space all the time Dad and I am very thankful for that but say something to me if you need, want to. You are my father.”

Yoko looked at him. “Where do you go when I don't know where you're at. When you don't tell me.”

“Sesshomaru sama. I pick fights with him, he chooses to train me real life style instead of killing me. I leave, wonder around the country and come back. I only go to Makai when he approves of me doing so or you… I don't like being around here.”

“I know.” He looked up. “I'll catch up to you.”

A red head male well groomed spoke in the distance. “Zokusai.” He turned to Yoko staying in front of him looking up at him as Zokusai walked off into the forest and sighed. “Go ahead. Do it every time.”

“There's only been five times in about sixteen years. That's enough in itself.” He smirked seeing Shuichi sighing. “Why you are as old as you are, single. You can't please a female.”

“Yoko I have other measures than you do and I'm perfectly fine being the age I am and haven't knocked up over a hundred women already.”

Yoko looked at him. “By what ever do you mean Shuichi? I only meant that you lack social skills and are job orientated far beyond normal. What were you thinking of?”

Shuichi smiled at him. “One of the reasons I continue to be around you.” He knelt touching a flower that Souta had ran on causing its stem to grow straight. “I can't keep a woman but I got promoted again.” He shook his head. “Maybe I should take some time off and clear my head.” He saw the look Yoko was giving him. “Free from books and academia related topics… Actually I've been thinking about this for a while.”

“To where.”

“North east Australia. I have to keep working, but since I'm always increasing in status it's not more than four meetings a week, that's all. And the area has a very large Japanese population, so they'll mistake me for an Australian that speaks like a native person of Japan.”

Yoko smirked. “And the Japanese will figure you exotic and will want for you to bed them. Go, now.”

Shuichi shook his head. “I don't want that one track mind.”

“You are leaving though I presume.”

“Tomorrow, I'll be gone for two months.”

“Bring condoms.”

Shuichi sighed walking off. “I will see you later Yoko.”

Zokusai walked out of the forest seeing Shuichi waving at him goodbye in the distance not turning around. “Father why don't Nijuu or myself have your plant abilities.”

“Because you have your Mother's fire abilities and your brother is a spirit kitsune who simply did not inherited that trait.” He started walking. “Come.”

Shuichi woke up noticing a woman laying next to him in his hotel room, company paid for of course. He held his head not remembering having drunk that much in his life and sat up finding his shirt off but himself still wearing pants. He sighed seeing the woman fully clothed, relived.

`Junko…At least I didn't get drunk with someone I wasn't in a relationship with, but still… It's been two months already. I should ask her today before I leave tomorrow if she's interested in coming back to Japan with me.'

The woman next to him woke up, and after they both showered separately Shuichi took her for a walk along the coast line speaking to her. Noticing her faint freckles. He shook his head and looked ahead.

“Junko I told you when I first met you, that I was only here for a while on business.”

She looked up at him wearing a swimming top and a wrap around. “I know. You're leaving tomorrow.”

He nodded. “I was wondering if you'd come with me. Back to Japan. To my condo outside of Osaka.”

She smiled at him. “I haven't even known you for that lon-“ She saw him stop walking and looked in the direction he was. “Is she a friend of yours here Shuichi?”

Shuichi let go of hands not taking his eyes off of the woman in the distance, continuing to walk away. “I do want you to move in with me Junko but she's a very close friend of… Someone related to me who hasn't been seen in a long time. I'll meet you at the hotel later today.”

Shuichi ran not caring about Junko for the moment seeing her getting further in the distance walking off. From what he could tell, she had changed.

She was alive.

“Kagome! Please wait!”

A short woman with black and red hair in a single braid behind her turned around. She had a scar across her right eye and discharged something that was held against her inner arm covering it from wearing a white long sleve shirt and jeans. She looked up with red eyes seeing Shuichi in front of her.

“You sense different when you're separated.”

Shuichi looked her over smelling the lingering scent of burnt flesh from her and hugged her catching her slightly off guard. “Where have you been? What happened? When I was still a part of Yoko we went to your grave and it was ransacked he felt you die.”

Kagome bowed, turned, and walked off. “Then he should continue to think that I am dead. I'm not going back, you should forgot that you saw me, and now that I know what you sense like I won't be found again.”

Shuich followed her. “Why don't you want to come back Kagome? Why didn't you tell anyone you weren't dead? When'd you come back?”

“Not my place to say. And I am more powerful than you and will make you go away if you don't on your own.”

Shuichi stayed behind seeing her walk off, and after ten seconds ran speaking. “Call Junko.” He continued to run onto the beach hearing the ringing on his wireless set. “Junko?... Yes she's quiet allright but I have to go back to Japan on emergency notice to notify some relatives in person, they live out in the country and tend not to be fans of high technology. I'll come back as soon as I can, but-“ Shuichi ran into a portal. “-I'd like for you to think about what I asked of you briefly. I do want to see more of you Junko, okay?... Good. You'll think on it. I'll call you later. Ja ne.” Shuich spoke again running under the purple sky. “Call Kieko.”

Frustrated not getting anything from the house line or Kieko's cell he continued to run through makai until he came to familiar land and exited out of a portal finding himself back in Japan. He hadn't ran that long in a while. He looked around quickly getting his bearings and turned around running through a forest.

Kieko smiled down at Souta covered with rice dust. “I told you to lift the bag up first! You fell in!”

Souta smiled at her. “I'm sorry Mommy.” He hugged her, then moved apart smling at her. “I got you dusty too.”

She smiled at him. “That's fine Souta.” She picked him up. “Let's get you cleaned up okay?”

Souta giggled some. “I like it here with just you Mommy Daddy's real ruff.”

“And I'll have to speak to him again about that.” She touched his nose getting rice dust off of it. “You don't need to grow up too fast-“ She turned around seeing the door open up from the stairs. “Oh, Shuichi-“

“-where'd Yoko go.” He spoke breathing slowly a bit flustered. “Important.”

Kieko shook her head. “Souta said he saw him go off somewhere with the twins, that was yesterday though… What happened?”

Shuichi looked around. “Do you know where anyone else is.” `The one time I need greater senses and just can't have them.'

“Yusuke's normally in Makai around this time- Oh, bye.” She continued up the stairs. “Don't be rude like that Souta even if you are in a rush.”

Shuichi went outside running into the forest stopping himself. He had already made a huge error.

`I just ran through a large portion of Makai, smelling like her. Smelling like a forbidden one she doesn't need anyone looking for her any more than they already do because she's hated.' He ran back through the forest knowing Yoko might just kill him in a blind rage, not on accident, came out to a small town, bought a shirt and a bag, changed putting his shirt in it and got on a bus. `One time in my life I'm glad Nijuu's expressent and a like a far younger yoko. I can sense him when he jumps around… Why hasn't Yoko gotten him out of that yet?'

Zokusai turned around. “Shuichi's coming.”

Nijuu jumped in front of them walking backwards. “Why ya think Dad?”

Yoko looked at him. “Because he sensed you jumping around putting energy into it. You know not to. I've told you not to.”

NIjuu jumped next to him. “Habit. Broken… But why so quickly?”

Yoko waited for him to come and noticed from the distance. “I thought you were straight.”

Nijuu snickered to himself. “That's not even passing as a man bag Red.”

Shuichi looked at Yoko ignoring them. “I need to speak to you, alone, now, quickly. It's urgent.”

Yoko sighed. “You go ahead.” He spoke once they were out of their hearing range. “What is of this vital-“

Yoko caught his words in his throat almost chocking the moment Shuichi opened the bag and unwrapped the shirt. With her scent all over it. There wasn't a way he could forget her scent even if he didn't even know his own name.

“Yoko she's alive.”

Yoko looked at the shirt suppressing a whine. “Is she in Japan or Australia?”

“She was in Australia. I couldn't get a hold of anyone at your house and it took me about three hours to get from Australia to find you. She wouldn't answer anything. Just that I sensed different when separated, why she didn't hide herself from me because she didn't know who I was. That she wanted me to forget that I saw her and that she was still dead, and she'd force me to leave her alone.”

Yoko knew she wouldn't be in the same area. “What else did she say to you? Was, she okay?”

Shuichi nodded. “She had more scars, as expected. She was burning herself still, I couldn't tell how much, she wore sleeves and I can't smell as well as the last I saw her… And that it wasn't her place to say why she won't say anything to me why she didn't tell anyone go find Sesshomaru he's the one who saw her last.”

Yoko turned into his fox form knowing he'd have a long way to go, to where Seshomaru's current location might be. He let out a bark alerting his two children finding them running along side of him, Nijuu with his three tails down wind for better speed. He barked again alerting them to where they were going noticing Zokusai about to grow a fourth. After about four hours running through Japan he morphed into his humanoid form seeing his two children following pursuit. He opened the grand doors sensing him inside of this residence after checking two before and spoke going up the stairs.

“Stay here.”

Zokusai growled seeing his father go up the stairs and disappear down a hall. “What isn't he telling us.”

Nijuu smiled confused and shrugged. “He'll either tell us or he won't. Not much we can do to change that.”

Yoko continued down the hall seeing a servant enter at the very end, and moments later Sesshomaru coming out with a sleeping yukata on.

“You're bold to enter my house at this hour uninvited kitsune-“

“-did you or did you not revive my mate.”

Sesshomaru looked at him, about the same height. “I did.”

Yoko used everything not to growl at him. “Why did you not inform me.”

“I offered her a deal when she came to me with your dead and dying kits. She didn't want to be a part of this world because of you and others believing, knowing you, they wanted her as far away from them having nothing to do with her. And she was more than willing to have nothing to do with her kits to give them a chance in this world and looked for death but asked of me to safe guard something for her. And I told her it could come at a price. That I would revive her when I no longer wished to look after what she begged of me to take from her along with one other request. Four years ago I revived her, gave it back, and told her never to find anyone she ever associated with in the past again-“

Yoko growled at him. “-the hell gives you the right to tell that to-“

Sesshomaru had his claws at his throat backing him up against a wall leaving small blood trails. “-you forget whom you speak to kit.”

Yoko looked at him. “Why.”

“I revived her. I own her life and she understands this and will do as I sa-“

“-why didn't you tell me when I asked if you could, would, can revive her? Why didn't you tell Zokusai all of the times he comes to your residences, seeks your training? Why do you want this for her.”

“Because it is the only way.” He had already noticed the twins at the end of the hall the moment the smelled the blood of their father. “You do not need to know do you need assistance to leave or can you manage that on your own.”

Zokusai walked up to him. “Sesshomaru sama?” He looked at him hurt. “Why did you not tell me?”

Sesshomaru looked at the boy never having seen such emotion on his face, ever. He had been trained by him. And he knew it, anything about his mother, was theonly thing the boy had ever wanted in his life since he had died.

“You have a better life without the wench.” He walked off. “Leave.”

Zokusai shook his head. “Tell me where my mother is Sesshomaru sama.”

Sesshomaru continued walking. “She's dead to you.”

Zokusai kept walking towards him. “Please. Is there anything I can do for you to tell me?”

Sesshomaru stopped in front of his door not about to have a kit see his mate. Infact he was sure that Kagome was the only person currently alive who had ever seen his mate that wasn't inu.

“She was sent to Taiwan.”

Zokusai looked at him. “Are you going to hurt her when we find her? Kill her again because you told he not to see us and she'll see us?”

Sesshomaru closed his eyes briefly. `Only because he reminds me of her when she grew older.' “No. leave.”

Zokusai bowed to the door shut in his face and turned around walking out seeing Nijuu smiling at him. “Let's go to Taiwan brother!”

Yoko let Nijuu go ahead of them and spoke to Zokusai who stayed behind. “I apologize.”

Zokusai looked down walking. “Not your fault. I shouldn't have trusted him in the first place.” He shook his head. “Let's just get going.”

Kagome wondered why Sesshomaru told her to go to such a small island where few spoke Japanese… Not that she wanted contact with anyone, but it helped when the youkai in the forest and rocky areas shouted at her to know what they were saying. She walked wrapping her arm from bleeding shaking her head.

`Why do I need to know when they're saying bitch, whore, mistake, die bitch, fifth, disgrace, cunt and the same things they say to me every place.'

She shook her head seeing a lesser youkai upwind ready to attack her and wondered why a lesser youkai thought they had a chance at killing her. She had been alive for this long and back again, there was a reason she was alive. She tossed an icicle at it spearing it and continued walking. Pitiful.

Coming across a stream she looked at it freezing off a section closing two fish in an area quickly piecing them up on ice picks and ate them. Like sushi… Just not prepared or with rice and vegetables or sauce-

Raw fish. She found a place to sleep noticing it the middle of the day remembering she hadn't been asleep in about three days, went into the tiny cave and closed her eyes sleeping. She woke with a startle seeing a snake youkai flinging itself at her and latch onto her throat, and another onto her right calf. She let out a small shout feeling veins severed and moved out of the tiny cave quickly cutting one in half and setting a blaze the one on her calf. She removed the snake head from her neck letting out a sound and quickly killed the other one. A bit light headed, noticing how little she actually slept, she went to the stream quickly to wash the blood off of her before she would be found out, wrapped her neck tightly to slow the bleeding, noticed she needed new clothing and headed out of the rocky forest area towards the main area. After walking for about an hour she came across a male ookami saying the normal at her she didn't have to understand, threw an ice pick into his head and as he fell to the ground dead walked back up towards the small lake to clean the pants and shirt with flower essence. And cleaned herself. She tore part of her old shirt as a belt and tied the shirt in the back so she could move her arms freely. And continued walking.

Knowing someone was stalking her. `And would have been doing a good job of it but I'm too paranoid to even mistake anything as something non threatening to me.' She formed a small ice ball in her hand hidden. `Paranoid but still with a heart beat.'

Kagome turned around throwing the ball with a little energy, for pure speed, at the area she knew the creature was at now feeling her neck strain some and saw a silver or white blurr quickly move out of the way. Knowing automatically the creature was at least C class and not taking any chances she created a massive boomerang planting her feet tossing it causing the youkai to quickly move and seeing it still hidden but visible, barely to her she tossed another ice ball only to go wide eyed. Kagome quickly tossed another one at it getting it off of its trajectory, caught the boomerang melting it and ran, in the opposite direction. As fast as she could go.

Nijuu shook himself on his paws whining some. He knew his mother had seen him, and was prepared knowing already the main reason why she ran away. To protect him. He ran off after her knowing he was quicker than she could ever be when in kitsune form, but that she could hide better than he could ever hope to just because of the situation she grew up with all her life.

Kagome looked down from a tree seeing Nijuu run past, bit her lip and smiled. `He made it okay. He's grown, alive. Healthy.' She smiled some catching herself before making a single sound. `And Yoko must be alive if he knows how to change forms.' She smiled. `But why are you looking for me? I know you think you want to see me but I can guarantee you won't have peace you're accustomed to being around me.' “Go back.”

Kagome jumped from the tree branches making her way to the only Makai portal that she knew of. She couldn't stay on Taiwan and would have to notify Sesshomaru that she had to leave.

Zokusai sniffed around a dead snake with two types of blood on it. Something that smelled similar to him a little bit, and its own. Figuring his mother took time out to sleep he heard a small whine escape from Nijuu in the distance and growled. He needed to learn more control. Trotting up to where he was he quickly turned around noticing a blur in the trees and ran after changing directions. He had no idea how his mother was that fast for only having two legs.

Kagome ran quickly and as stealthy as possible. She wasn't sure if he was alone, but knew that most of the ones after her were already dead, and nothing would harm him in the area she was leaving-

Kagome quickly jumped up swinging on a branch seeing a youkai with a gun laughing. He spoke, Kagome figuring different from the length and avoided another bullet finding herself running even quicker. Gun fire would alert Nijuu to her location, she didn't want him shot. Meaning she had to stop and kill the demon. Going back through the trees she let go flipping forward back exposed narrowly missing a bullet landing on his neck crushing it sniffing around finding on the ground level smelling two more in the area. She turned quickly burning one to a crisp hidden behind a bolder-

Kagome let out a small shot stumbling having two bullets going through her calf, too slow to completely move out of the way of all of them. She stood feeling her bone straining, quickly threw an ice pick into his neck killing him and ran off ignoring the pain in her leg.

Nijuu sniffed around trying to figure out what direction his mother went only to look up seeing his father next to him.

`You told us before that it meant to be half ice and half fire… But I didn't think like this. We gotta find Mom Dad.'

Yoko looked around, larger and with more tails than Nijuu, five more. `Zokusai's after her already.' He ran off. `Keep up.'

Zokusai stopped at the end of the forest watching his mother run off in mist of humans, dripping blood. And he couldn't follow, because he'd stand out and bring attention to her. He ran around the edge of the city noticing the mass of people unable to track his mother at all, lost her completely and went to the other side into a jungle and growled. She was gone. He quickly ran off.

`Check the Makai portals she'll want to get off of this island as soon as possible.'

Kagome found relief in knowing Zokusai and Nijuu, most likely Yoko as well now felt that she was already off of the island. They would be fine. She on the other hand was slowing losing breath hung by the tail of a lizard demon after getting beaten.

`This is why I never go into Makai when there's blood on me and I'm injured.' Her hands fell to her sides. `I can find a way out of this-`

Kagome moved her feet swinging them onto the base of the lizard's tail getting clawed at heating her feet causing the lizard to throw her down. She hit a tree harshly getting up quickly gasping for air, quickly fought the lizard leaving out of the first ningenkai portal she sensed not caring where it went. She looked around finding herself in an alley and passed out before she could figure out where she was at. She woke up the moment she was able to finding herself in a bed with a cup of water and cold rice next to her. Not wanting the people to get killed because of her she quickly downed the rice and water, wrote a note and left out of the window feeling her wounds shouting at her but not quitting. She looked around unable to read the signs of where she was at, wasn't sure of the language either and ran off towards where she smelled a river until night. She'd find her way by the stars like she always had.

Zokusai came out of the nearest portal from where he saw the dead Lizard roughly killed fairing his mother in better condition and appeared in an alley. He ran past the three humans in the street and went after the dry trail of his mother's blood towards a jungle with a number of humans living in it. Figuring he had a better chance of passing as a large still growing fox than a human with ears and a tail he continued on going a bit father until he saw his mother, curled up on a bed of sugar cane. A human wearing jeans and a traditional shirt laid a cloth on her forehead and food next to her after taking care of her wounds again. Figuring this had happened to his mother before but not wanting to take that risk he trotted back to the portal to find his father and brother.
