Katara, Rin and Shippou quietly tiptoed over to the bed the two girls had to share. Katara mouthed one, two three to the children then-“WAKE UP WAKE UP!!!!WAKE UP SANGO!! WAKE UP KAGOME”, Rin yelled. “WAKE UP MAMA!!!! WAKE UP SANGO”, Shippou chanted with her and the two jumped on the bed.

 

Kagome sat up quickly, startled and Sango fell out of the bed and groaned when she hit the floor. Katara broke out in hysterical laughter and jumped on the bed and tackled Kagome with a pillow.

 

Kagome fell off the other side of the bed and hit the floor with a startled shriek. By now all three of them were laughing so hard that tears were streaming out of their eyes as they watched Kagome and Sango pull themselves back on the bed.

 

“What was that for?! You scared the living daylights out of us”, Sango snapped. “Oh come on Sango we were just having a little fun”, Katara teased. “Well have fun with this”, Sango said and hit her in the face with a pillow.

 

Katara ungracefully fell off the bed and landed on the floor on her stomach with her tail falling over her head and into her face. Suddenly the bedroom door opened and InuYasha, Miroku and Sesshoumaru walked into the room.

 

The men walked in to find Katara on the floor and Sango and Kagome laughing their heads off on the bed. Sesshoumaru helped Katara up and raised a delicate eyebrow. “Do I even want to know what's going on”, he asked her.

 

“No not really”, Katara laughed. “Well I would. We could hear you from the other side of the castle”, InuYasha said, as he and Miroku walked over to them. Shippou and Rin suddenly tackled them both onto the bed. They hadn't even seen them sneaking up on them.

 

Katara picked up a pillow off the floor and smacked InuYasha over the head with it. This began a war of pillows flying everywhere and the room being filled with shrieks and laughter. Sesshoumaru continued to stand there with his eyebrow still raised.

 

Finally the battle ended with Sango, Miroku and InuYasha all on the floor with Kagome, Katara and the two children jumping up and down on the bed, laughing and cheering with victory.

Katara suddenly lost her footing and would have fallen on the floor hard if Sesshoumaru hadn't caught her. “Hey Sess how's it going”, she smiled innocently up at him. Sesshoumaru just shook his head and placed her on her feet.

 

By now Kagome and the kids had calmed down and were helping the others up. “Ok that was….interesting”, Miroku said, dusting off his robes. “That was not what I expected to wake up to”, Sango laughed.

 

“Yeah yeah yeah. Can we go eat now? I'm hungry”, InuYasha said. “Are you ever not hungry”, Sesshoumaru asked. “Yes. After I've eaten, unless I didn't eat enough and am still hungry”, InuYasha answered as if it was obvious.

 

“Well I'm not hungry. Kagome and I need to start our little talk soon though”, Katara said. Kagome nodded. “Yeah I'm not hungry either. Why don't we go out to the gardens”, Kagome suggested.

 

“That's sounds good to me. You guys go ahead and eat”, Katara told the others and the two walked out, Katara fussing about her messed up hair. “Well you heard her, lets go”, InuYasha said and walked out, the others shaking their heads at him as they followed.

 

 

 

 

Sesshoumaru and InuYasha watched from the study window at the two females chatting happily to each other in the garden. “Katara seem to be happy and looks good. It's just that, as I can remember, she was blind the last time I saw her. How can she see now”, InuYasha asked.

 

“That is a question that I'll leave Katara to answer on her own. She hasn't always been this way but she is slowly healing”, Sesshoumaru said. They continued to watch as Katara and Kagome talked as if they were long time friends.

 

“I have so many questions I want to ask you, I don't know where to start”, Kagome said. “Well I think the best place to start is telling you about our tribe”, Katara said. Kagome sat there and listened very carefully to what she had to say.

 

“As you saw, we are inu-youkai but we are different from InuYasha and Sesshoumaru. Each of us have elemental powers that we use for fighting and-“ “What a minute, we have elemental powers? What is yours”, Kagome asked.

 

Katara pushed her hair away from her right temple to reveal a gold colored lightning mark. “This marking indicates that my elemental power is lightning”, she told her. Kagome looked at the raindrop marking on her left wrist.

 

Katara saw what she was looking at and smiled. “So I guess you already know what your power is. That marking means that you have the power of water”, Katara said. Kagome nodded that she understood.

 

“We're going to have to start your training soon, you need to learn how to control your power”, Katara said. “That would be great. Do we only have one power”, Kagome asked. “Yes but every 200 decades a female is born with all the elements. We call her the Shiira. Sometimes the Shiira will be a male but it is very very rare.

 

Also, we don't use our powers just for fighting, but we also use them for dancing. In our tribe, dancing is one of the most important things. We dance for celebrations and special events. We have a dance for births, deaths, battles and mating”, Katara said.

 

“Mating”, Kagome asked. “Yeah, its what humans call marriage. The female does this special dance, showing off her power, and if the male thinks that the female is strong enough then they will start courting and then maybe mate”, Katara explained.

 

“Ok I understand. Tell me about my father and your life”, Kagome asked. Katara closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and then opened her eyes again. “Daemon was a cute little guy. I was older than him by six human years. He had a fiery temper, no wonder he had the power of fire, but he was also sweet when he wanted to be.

 

He was all I had left and he made it his job to protect me even though I was older. Our mother had died giving birth to him and our father and our two brothers had been killed in the last battle with the mikos and monks and our three sisters were killed by enemy demons when we were searching for a new home.

 

During that time, the new leader of the tribe was taking care of us until Daemon was old enough to lead. That's when we came here and I met Sesshoumaru. He had came to investigate what was left of our tribe and I attacked him thinking he was trespassing”, Katara smiled at the last part.

 

“As payment for attacking him, our leader made me become his servant. I came here and much to both of our surprises, we fell in love. But then we had a fight and I took off back to my tribe. During that time, I was blind from a curse that Naraku placed on me and when I arrived back at the tribe Naraku was there. He lifted the curse so that I would be able to see him kill my entire tribe.

 

I turned into my true form for the first time because of grief and anger. Sesshoumaru saved me and took me back to the castle. I was happy that I was able to see him but it took me awhile to fully heal. We eventually became mates and now I'll be having a pup in a month”, Katara said.

 

Kagome sat there quietly after Katara finished her tale. How could this beautiful demoness have gone through so much and not have broke down? Katara waited to see what Kagome would do or say and was surprised when Kagome reached over and hugged her tightly. Katara welcomed the hug and tried to stop the tears from falling but failed. Kagome held the crying women tightly. “Don't worry Katara we'll find him. Like you said, I'm proof that father is still alive. Maybe he was able to escape and is now in hiding”, Kagome suggested.

 

Katara finally stopped her crying and look up. “Yeah you're right, my crying won't get us anywhere”, Katara sighed. “Come on lets get back inside”, Kagome said. Katara looked up at the darkening sky.

 

“Holy fuck is it getting dark already?! Gods time sure goes by when your having fun”, Katara laughed. They both got up and walked back to the castle. When they got inside, Shippou and Rin ran up to them.

 

“Mama can you and Katara play with us”, Shippou asked. “Yeah mother can you play with us? Father is working in his study, Uncle didn't want to play with us and Sango and Miroku are busy”, Rin said.

 

“Busy? How so”, Kagome asked. “Well Miroku groped her again and she got mad at him and hit him in the head then went to the dojo and Miroku followed her. She's busy kicking his ass cause he groped her again”, Shippou said.

 

“He will never learn”, Kagome laughed. “Are those two together or something”, Katara asked. “No but its obvious that they like each other. Anyway what do you two want to play”, Kagome asked the kids.

 

“We want to play hide-and-seek”, Shippou said. “Ok. You two hide and Kagome and I'll count”, Katara said. They played this until dinner was ready. They ate happily like a big family except for the usual grope or two from Miroku.

 

Kagome yawned and stretched her arms. “Well I think I'm going to go to bed now”, Kagome announced. Sesshoumaru whispered something in Katara's ear. Katara got a mischievous look in her eyes and they both got up.

 

“Good idea. Sess and me are off as well. Good night everyone”, Katara said then they left the room. “You do know what they're going to do right”, Miroku asked. “Eww Miroku keep it to yourself! Besides there are children here”, Kagome said.

 

Miroku and InuYasha said that they were going to stay up a little more. Sango and Kagome got Shippou and Rin ready for bed then they went to bed themselves.
