Chapter 27

 

Sesshomaru returned to camp to find his mate already asleep. He gently cradled her in his arms and grinned as he thought of ways to torture her. `If you think that your safe then you are very mistaken,' he thought as he too drifted into a light sleep.

 

The next morning Kagome woke up to see everyone still sleeping and Miroku's hand, even in sleep, about to grope Sango. What made her chuckle even more was the grip she had on her hirokotsu warning said monk to stay the hell away from her. Suddenly Miroku's hand made contact and Sango was startled from sleep with a familiar hand rubbing her bottom. Everyone was woken with the all to familiar screams of hentai and a furious slayer. Kagome just chuckled some more before giving her mate a chaste kiss and starting breakfast. While everyone ate she looked to her sister in silent question and at her nod she smiled slightly knowing that telling the others was not going to be pleasant. After everyone was finished and the dishes put away she sat down and waited for the others to get comfortable. “We will have two visitors today and we don't want anyone to attack them.”

 

“Who's coming Kagome?” asked Miroku.

 

Kagome looked at them and prepared herself for the explosion. “Kagura and Kanna will be coming Miroku. Jade and I have decided to free them from Naraku which will mean two less enemies.”

 

“How in the hell do you know that Kagome. They have tried to kill us enough times and now you want to free them,” said Inuyasha.

 

Kagome glared at her mate. “They are slaves Inuyasha and have no choice. Everyone deserves a second chance and nothing will change our minds. Jade and I have already made our decision.”

 

“How do you know they won't still side with Naraku and attack us.”

 

“Because I want nothing more than to see him dead. We will not attack the ones to give us our freedom.”

 

Everyone but Jade and Kagome immediately turned and went into a defensive stance at seeing the two they were discussing in front of them. “I'm glad you made it here so quickly Kagura it makes things easier for us,” said Jade.

 

“You said you could free us from Naraku.”

 

Jade just smiled at her. “So I did.” She started to walk away and looked over her shoulder to make sure they wee following. She led them to a small clearing not far from camp so she and Kagome would have plenty of room to work. “I wish to know what you would do with your freedom.”

 

“I will go wherever the wind takes me and live.”

 

“Before Kagome and I grant your wish I would like your word that you won't go around killing innocents. We will not be responsible for you slaughtering others and if you do the freedom we grant you will immediately be taken away and you will be sent to hell.”

 

Kagura looked at her. “You have our word all we want is to live in peace.”

 

Jade looked at Kagome and nodded her approval. Both women closed their eyes and started to glow. Their wings stretched and they could be heard softly chanting. Everyone could feel the power coming off of them in waves and watched as their hair and clothes lifted to fly around their bodies. Kagura and Kanna watched as the guardians chanted and rapidly increased their power. Their auras went from soft and calm to brilliant and fierce when they suddenly lifted off of the ground to hover above them. After a few more moments both women raised their arms to the sky where a large ball of energy formed between them. It was time they thought before turning to look at Kagura and Kanna with glowing eyes and hurled the energy directly at them. The women didn't have time to move before they were thrown to the ground from the force that hit them.

 

The guardians slowly walked over to the pair to help them up. Kagura glared at them before she stopped and placed a hand on her chest feeling her heart beat. She quickly looked to Kanna to almost have her heart stop at the smile on her sister's face. Kagura reached a shaky hand out to touch her and see if she was seeing things before looking to Jade and Kagome with questions evident in her eyes.

 

“We gave you your freedom and gave Kanna the feelings she desired so badly. She is a true child now. Take care of her and raise her well.”

 

Kagura looked at both of them and nodded her head. “I will and if you ever have need of me I will come.”

 

Jade looked at her with the utmost seriousness. “If you are in need of us we will know as you will know if we need you. There was a bond formed between us. All you need to do is concentrate and call our names and we will know.”

 

“I understand and I will help if I am needed. I will stand by you side to defeat Naraku. I want to be there when he is destroyed.” Her eyes burned with hatred as she spoke of he creator. As she was speaking she noticed that both of them seemed to be staggering a little. “Are you alright?”

 

Kagome smiled at her reassuringly. “It took a great deal of power and magic to free you and even more to give Kanna her feelings. We need to rest for a little while to regain our strength.” Kagome then looked at her mate and fainted. Inuyasha caught her before she hit the ground and cradled her closely to his chest.

 

Sesshomaru looked at his mate and saw the fatigue in her eyes. He came to her side and picked her up bridal style holding her close. His heart melted at the brief smile she gave him before she too fell unconscious. Sesshomaru looked at Kagura and Kanna to see the confusion in the wind witch's eyes as she watched them together. “You may stay as long as you do not attack anyone here. If you do you forfeit your life.”

 

Kagura watched as Sesshomaru picked Jade up tenderly and was curious why until she saw her hair fall to reveal a mating mark. She smirked and making the taiyoukai look at her. “Naraku will be furious. You have taken the immortal he wants as your mate. He is obsessed with her and her power and constantly watched her through Kanna's mirror trying to find a weakness so that he could obtain her. When she revealed her true form his lust only increased.”

 

Sesshomaru looked at her coldly. “That creature will never touch my mate. I will kill him first.”

 

“He is weak since Lady Kagome took back the jewel. It will be much easier to kill him now.”

 

He only nodded at her once before turning to sit against a tree with Jade wrapped protectively in his arms waiting for her to wake up.

 

Jade slowly came awake and looked up to see the intense amber eyes of her mate watching her. She tried to move but was unable to escape her mate's grasp. “How long have I been out?”

 

“A few hours.”

 

She sighed and closed her eyes once more only to feel a small hand on her arm. When she opened her eyes she saw Kanna smiling at her. “Is everything alright Kanna?”

 

She smiled at Jade and started to fidget slightly. “I wanted to say thank you Lady Jade for freeing us and giving me the ability to feel. You and Lady Kagome have made our dreams come true.”

 

“Your welcome Kanna.” She smiled warmly at the child before wrapping her arms around her in an affectionate embrace. She looked around at everyone there and noticed that two of their companions were missing.

 

Sango had walked to a nearby stream to fill their water bottles knowing that Jade and Kagome would need something to drink when they awoke. She sat next to the stream thinking of everything that had happened over the last few months. There was so much and she still didn't know where Kohaku was, but knew from Jade that he was alive. She was so deep in thought that she didn't notice anyone there until they sat down beside her. She looked up to see Miroku watching her with a look in his eyes that she couldn't quite place. “Miroku?”

 

He had decided he couldn't wait any longer to tell Sango how he felt. With the upcoming battle he wanted to tell her in case things turned out badly. He watched the confusion in her eyes as he gently placed his palm on her cheek and leaned in to kiss her gently. Miroku looked at her and lowered his hand to hold hers. “Sango, before we go into battle I would like you to know that I love you and I would be honored if you would consent to be my wife and the mother of my children. I no longer have the wind tunnel to worry about and after defeating Naraku I would like to settle down and have a family with you.”

 

Sango was completely stunned. She had always secretly loved the pervert and now here he was professing his love and asking her to marry him. He was sitting in front of her waiting for his answer. She smiled at him gently, ”yes Miroku I will marry you.”

 

He was the happiest man alive there was no other way to describe what he was feeling as he held the woman he loved in his arms. He looked into her eyes and saw the love she held for him and kissed her passionately pouring all of his feelings for her in that one kiss. Miroku's male pride almost took over as he noticed the glazed look in her eyes. It was starting to get late and not wanting to ruin the moment held her closely. “It's getting late and the others will start getting worried.”

 

Sango was so happy, but knew he was right. “Yes, we should be getting back soon.” She stood and blushed slightly as he held her hand while walking back to camp. `Just another important change to add to the many others that had happened over the last few months,' she thought. She knew in her heart that things were going to be ok and no matter what happened she would have Miroku by her side.
