Uniting Of The Lands
Kagome was standing about 25-30 feet away listening to Sesshomaru and Inuyasha's conversation and was extrememly shocked by what she was hearing. Inuyasha was right, they had all put their lives on the line for each other more than once in the last two years. Inuyasha, Sango, yes even Miroku, and Shippou were like family to her. They were more than just her friends, they were her family just like her mom, brother and grandfather back in her time.
'But wait, that is not where I belong, I never did. I was born here and here is where I shall remain. I have a family here and my true love is here also. I guess that I had better go back to the future and tell everyone how I feel. I will do that later after I have a talk with Fluffy.' Kagome thought to herself.
She stood there for a few moments longer then started walking back to the two brothers. They both heard her approach more than felt her. Kagome had very sucessfully hid her aura from everyone so she could hear what was said. When she reached them they both looked at her and smiled. Yes Sesshomaru actually smiled!
"I have missed seeing that smile, love," Kagome said to Sesshomaru.
"OMG! I haven't seen you smile a real smile since we were kids bro," said a very suprised Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha, I really appreciate what you said. You put into words that were unspoken until now, and I really needed to hear them. We have been through so much together and I was hoping that just because Kikyo was alive again that our group would not split up. Now if you two will excuse me I do believe that someone is waiting to talk to me."
The two of them looked at her and wondered what she was talking about then they felt him. Kouga appeared next to Kagome.
"Hello again Kouga. What can I help you with?"
"Kagome, can I talk to you alone? I have something I want to talk to you about but I don't want either dog-breath to interfere."
At that both of the dog demons unsheathed their swords. Kagome gave them an evil look, grabbed Kouga by the arm and started walking towards the hot springs. When they arrived Kagome put up a soundproof barrier so that no one could hear what was being said.
"Go ahead Kouga, no one can hear us inside my barrier. What did you wish to talk to me about?"
"Kagome, I have thought about the last conversation we had. I realized the truth in what you said. Kagome, I have something that I need to tell you. Well, actually a couple of things. At one time I thought I was in love with you, but after our last conversation I realized that somehow over the last year the love I felt for you changed. I came to realize, even though I would not admit it, that the love I held for you was that of a sister/best friend not a lover or mate. Am I correct in assuming that Lord Sesshomaru knew of your return before the final battle?"
"Yes, though I have yet to figure out how he found out, but I will get to the bottom of that later."
"Now, for the second thing I have to tell you. I know that you have been curious as to why my pack call me Lord Kouga, though you have never asked I could see the question in your eyes several times. I think that the time is right for you to know."
Kouga took off his headband and there in the center of his forehead was the symbol of the East: a Golden Sun .
"Kouga! Why have you never told me that you were the Lord of the East???"
"I am sorry Kagome. I wanted to tell you, but as with you the time was not right. Now that Naraku is gone it is safe for you to know. I was asked not to tell you before then. Also I wanted to let you know that I have indeed taken a mate. Now that I have told you what I came to there is one more thing. First release your barrier, I want all of them to hear this part."
Kagome did as Kouga asked and stood there waiting for him to continue.
"Kagome, Lady of the Northern and Western Lands, I,Kouga, Lord of the Eastern Lands, do hereby pledge my life and loyalty to you. My life and lands are yours to command. I will gladly die for you, my lady, if it is necessary. You are one of my best friends and my sister. I live to protect you and your lands. Please accept my offer to join the East with the North and West. Lady Kagome, do you accept this pact?"
"Yes, Lord Kouga, on behalf of the North I, Lady Kagome, accept this pact. I cannot accept on behalf of the West for that is my mate's decision."
Kagome heard Sesshomaru's voice in her head.
'Love, accept on behalf of the West as well. You are the Lady of the Western Lands as well. You have every right to accept. It is part of your destiny if you remember. To heal the Lands. This is the beginning.'
"Lord Kouga, on behalf of the West I also accept this pact. From this day forth four lands shall be one. The South and the North made a pact of blood 1000 years ago. That same night a pact was made between the West and the North, now the East has joined them. Let all know that the lands are no longer divided but are united from this day forward. Thank you Kouga, my friend, my brother."
Everyone around them cheered at the last statement from Kagome. Kagome hugged Kouga sealing the pact. Kouga was confused about something that Kagome had said.
'What did she mean when she said that the South and the North made a blood pact?'
He figured that when the time was right Kagome would tell him.
"Kouga, I would like for you to come to the Northern castle in six days time. I would like to meet your new mate. Will you accept?"
"Of course. I will be there with my mate." With that said Kouga left. Sango came running to Kagome and hugged her.
"Kags, this is wonderful! Oh yea, WE have unfinished business to take care of."
Kagome stod there and thought for a minute. She smacked herself in the head, wondering how she could forget. She and Sango had the blood bond to complete, then another thought occured to her.
'San, what about Kikyo? I would like to include her in our family. What do you think about this idea?'
'I think that would be a wonderful idea. She has proven herself worthy of being our sister.'
Kagome then linked Kikyo's mind with her and Sango's so that they could ask her.
'Kikyo, San and I have a question for you. Have you ever heard of the blood bond?'
'Yes. It is one of the most powerful bonds known to anyone. It joins women together as sisters for life, if it is done between a human and a demoness the human shall have the life span of a demon if she chooses to remain human or turns her into a demoness if she chooses that path. Why do you ask?'
'Sango and I have started the blood bond. Tonight she will complete it and become a full demoness. You have proven yourself worthy of also becoming our sister if you choose to. That is why we asked. We would be honored if you would also join us. You have already shown loyalty beyond anything else in your love for our brother. What do you say Kikyo, will you also become our sister? If you choose to I will give you until the sun sets on the sixth day to make the final choice: demon or human.'
'I would be honored to become your sister, Kagome and Sango.'
After they had gotten their answer Kagome closed the mind links. They all walked back to Kaede's hut for some dinner. Sango and Kagome were making plans to get away from the guys in order to complete the process and also bring Kikyo in as their sister.
