Chapter Twenty-Two
 
Kagome felt the wind rushing past her as Inuyasha carried her on his back. The raven haired girl's thoughts wandered as she cuddled against Inuyasha's back. Kagome's thoughts kept returning to Aniu and the child that would never come. What would it be like to know that you are going to birth a child and then have it taken away? A shudder passed through the girl's body.
“Are you alright?”
The soft tones startled Kagome. “Yeah,” she replied softly.
Inuyasha stopped. “What's wrong, Kagome?”
The girl shook her head. “Nothing.”
The hanyou set Kagome on the ground and turned to look at her. He studied her face for a while then narrowed his eyes. “Yes, there is.”
Kagome looked at him with brown eyes that had gone hard with feeling.
Inuyasha growled.
“Alright,” Kagome sighed. “I was thinking about Aniu.”
The hanyou sat down, pulling Kagome down with him. “What about Aniu?”
“What it would be like to know that you are with child but then have that child taken away from you.”
Inuyasha went still next to her. “Are you…Are you thinking about having children?”
Kagome rested her head on the red clad boy's shoulder. “I don't know. I mean I remember thinking about it when I was younger. Now…”
He waited for her to continue but she kept quiet. “Now?” he prompted.
“Now, it sounds really nice to have a child of my own.”
Inuyasha shielded his amber orbs with his eyelids. What is she saying? Is she asking me…asking me…asking me to…make this possible for her?
“Inuyasha,” asked Kagome hesitantly.
“Yeah.”
“Would you…I mean…Would you help me?”
He cleared his throat. “With what?”
“With making this possible.”
Inuyasha choked and Kagome blushed.
“I'm sorry.”
“It's nothing you just surprised me.”
Those chocolate brown orbs looked up at him. “What are you saying?”
“Yes.”
“Yes?”
He nodded. “Yes.”
A smile graced her red lips. “Yes.”
“Yes.”
“Okay.”

Eyelids blinked over green orbs as Aniu woke to the sensation of being held by two men. She felt an arm draped over her stomach and another around her shoulders. Blinking away the sleep, she tried to sit up but the hands tightened. The girl let out a small whimper and there was soon a face in front of her. A smile spread her lips as she saw the blue orbs of a worried wolf king.
“'Ello Kouga,” she said tiredly.
The wolf youkai smiled but his eyes were still worried and haunted. “Hello, Aniu. How are you feeling?”
Aniu was silent for a few minutes. “I'm okay,” she whispered.
“You sure?” Kouga asked as he leaned over her.
A grin spread across the golden girl's mouth as she realized the wolf's intention. “Now.”
“Good,” Kouga whispered against her lips. “Then I can do this.” He kissed her softly on the lips.
The kiss was slow and sensual at first but then quickly grew into something urgent. Kouga ate at Aniu's lips like he would crawl inside them, using lips, teeth and tongue to get her taste. The wolf had crawled on top of her when a low growl sounded from Aniu's right side.
The golden girl released Kouga's lips with a gasp and slowly turned her head to look at Sesshoumaru, smiling. The wolf youkai leaned his head upon her cheek as she turned.
“And good morning to you Sesshoumaru,” Aniu said teasingly.
The taiyoukai growled again and then kissed her ferociously. Aniu would have to open her lips or be cut on his fangs with the force of his kiss. She obliged and opened her mouth wide as his tongue surged into her mouth. He licked the roof of her mouth and a sound escaped low in her throat.
The wolf on top of her growled with frustration and began kissing his way down her neck and to her breasts. Aniu moaned into Sesshoumaru's mouth and he ate the sound. Kouga slowly parted her kimono and bared her breasts to the world. Her breathing quickened as he began to slowly lick her breasts.
Panic slipped through her body as she felt Kouga and Sesshoumaru's erections against her body. She pushed both the males off of her with a strength that startled them. She closed her gaping kimono and then looked at both of them with fearful eyes. Tears lined her eyes and she quickly got to her feet and ran out of the hut. The males were quick to follow.
Aniu didn't get far before she was wrapped in the strong arms of her white male and looking into the eyes of her tan sweetie. The half-immortal fought Sesshoumaru but couldn't get away and she sagged in his arms.
The demons could feel in her emotions flood through their consciousness: her sorrow, her fear, her lust, her love, and her regret. They brought her back to the hut and laid her down again. The men comforted her and tried to soothe her. Aniu grew quiet in their grasp but her emotions would not recede.
Aniu looked down at Sesshoumaru, draped across her stomach, with her tear soaked face. “Sesshoumaru…”
“No.”
The girl blinked.
“I don't hate you.”
“But…but I killed your child.”
The taiyoukai shook his head against her stomach, sending goosebumps across her skin. “No, Naraku killed…the child.”
“But…I…”
Kouga kissed her softly and looked into her green orbs. “He's right, Aniu. You are not at fault.”
Aniu remained silent and then looked away from them both. Kouga kissed her cheek and Sesshoumaru kissed her navel. The half-immortal pushed them off her and then went to the corner of the hut and laid down, curling onto her side, into a small, tight, ball.

Naraku laughed in his cave beneath the ruined mountain. Mount Hakurai had been taken over quite some time ago but he had dug his way back under the mountain. A new lair for him.
The dark hanyou stared at the scenes unfolding between his foes. Everything was going as planned. A grin spread his lips, revealing his white teeth in the concealing dark. The time was coming to move again. Naraku couldn't contain his excitement.

Isis watched the same scenes as Naraku. The immortal couldn't be more disappointed in the world. Her daughter was falling apart in regret and her triumvirates were falling down the same well. The goddess had to do something. She had to fix something in order to right the wrongs.
Breathing deeply, the goddess let her mind flow out along the land. She felt squirrels hiding in their trunk as a demon passed by and the demon was so hungry. She ignored the urge to join forces with the demon and slaughter a village. Her mind touched a familiar one and she put her effort into breaking passed the barriers.
It was like pushing through molasses and it made sweat break out along her wall. It took her fifteen minutes to break pass the barriers and spread calm over the overwhelmed mind.
Daughter, she whispered into the distraught mind.
Aniu looked up as if she could see Isis. Mother? What do you want?
Your mind has become a mess and you are allowing Naraku to reinforce. You are making him stronger with every delay. You must push your problems back and fight.
But…I can't go against him. He…he…he…you know mother!
Isis growled with frustration.You have gotten over that. You know what holds you back and you are stupid to let it hold you back.
I thought you loved me.
Aniu! Don't you dare say that to me again. You know how much I love you. I'm trying to protect you. If you pity yourself then you are going to give Naraku a chance to kill you. He sees your weakness and he will push it in everyway until he destroys you and everyone you love.
The half-immortal was silent for a long while. A sigh escaped her lips. Very well. What do I do to rid myself of this torment?
First of all it is not your torment. Don't you feel it? This would never happen if you were yourself. Dig deep and see what I mean.
Aniu `looked' deep inside herself until she found a `spot' on her back. It had allowed Naraku to mess with her over and over again. She felt frustration stir in her mind. Gathering what power she could, she struck the spot. A visual flashed before her and she could see three figures.
Naraku was sitting in front of Kanna and Hakudoshi. Hakudoshi looked up at Aniu as if he could see all those miles away. His eyes filled with pity and sorrow. It was almost like he regretted what he did to her. Kanna was emotionless and Naraku's face held amusement. Kanna and Naraku looked up together, as if they could sense her presence. The power hit Naraku and broke Kanna's mirror. Strangely, the power washed over Hakudoshi. The dark hanyou fell back with a scream and the white girl remained quiet as her life was snuffed out. The energy from the girl traveled up the line of power that connected Aniu to the group. The energy hit her and cut her line to the group. But Aniu saw Hakudoshi's face before the image cut. He mouthed, `Help me.'
Aniu came back to herself, gasping for breath. Hands rubbed along Aniu's body, comfortingly as she shivered. What do we do now?
You must find them and destroy Naraku, said Isis.
What about Hakudoshit?
What do you think?
Aniu remained silent only her thoughts betrayed her actions.
Yes, Aniu. That is the answer. Now go before it is too late and defeat this foe and save all of Japan. Isis left Aniu's mind and giving the girl some of her strength.
Aniu looked up at the men holding her. “Let's kill a dark hanyou.”
The men blinked at her and then understood her meaning. They both nodded in unison.
“Tomorrow morning,” said Sesshoumaru softly.
Kouga nodded.
Aniu grinned. “Alright.”
That night the threesome slept together in the warmth of each other's bodies. Miles away Kagome and Inuyasha slept quietly in the camp with Sango, Miroku, Shippo, and Kirara. Kikyou walked along the path that led to Mount Hakurai. Here we meet again. The great powers of Japan fighting for the lives of thousands of humans. This is where it began. This is where it shall end.
