Chapter Three: Sango, Miroku and Shippo go through

Along with another few?

Sango and Miroku stood talking softly to Kagome and Inuyasha trying to figure out more of what happened to them when they had gone through the barrier. Kaikigesshoku stood and walked away from the group stating that she would return in awhile.

She walked over to the barrier and took guard in front of it as a woman walked towards her. "I wish to go through this barrier." Kaikigesshoku narrowed her eyes at the woman that resembled Kagome greatly, "You can not go through you have no heart and if you did it is not pure."

Inuyasha had been wandering near by and spotted Kaikigesshoku and Kikyou speaking. "Kikyou?" He whispered earning Kikyou's attention. "Inuyasha, I heard about this barrier. I also know what happened inside of it. Come to hell with me Inuyasha, I demand you come with me now." Inuyasha shook his head and repeated what he had said to the Kikyou in the barrier,

"Sorry Kikyou I only swore to protect you to get revenge on Naraku for what he did. I am protecting Kagome because I love her. She accepted me for who I am. She doesn't have to ask me to use the jewel to become human because she likes me for who I am. I only love her; you can go to hell by your self. I hope you will rest in peace."

Kikyou screamed in a rage at Inuyasha's words and advanced on him, Kaikigesshoku backed up and nearly touched the barrier. She watched Inuyasha unsheathe his sword and swing it only once before Kikyou became a pile of dirt and ash. Inuyasha looked down at what was left of her and a single tear rolled down his cheek onto the ground before he stood up and walked away.

Kaikigesshoku walked over to the mess and picking up a handful of dirt let it sprinkle till she held no more in her hand. "With Inuyasha's tear, water this grave and out of hatred and tortured heart grow a flower that will show all other travelers that out of hate is love and hope."

Inuyasha turned at her words and saw a white flower with seven petals and five leaves grow, beside it a red flower grew just like the first and beside it grew a yellow one. As they grew they twisted around each other until they had become fully grown.

Kagome had walked quietly upon Inuyasha and heard him speak to Kaikigesshoku. "I have only heard of this flower. Is it not called Homura (Flame)?" Kaikigesshoku nodded, "Yes it is very rare and it is called Homura because in a way flames in us can be grown with hate or love." Kagome stood silently listening till Inuyasha turned and caught her. Kaikigesshoku laughed softly at the two and then headed back towards the group.

Along her way, as she walked beside the barrier she came across two one tall one holding a fan and a shorter girl was holding up a mirror. Deep in her heart she knew that she should probably turn them away from the barrier but she couldn't resist wanting to know there deepest desire. The taller one called down to the littler one, "Kanna let us go through this barrier." "Hai Kagura." Kanna replied.

"Hoshi-sama are you ready to go through the barrier?" Miroku nodded and took Sango's hand. Sango blushed a bit and together they headed through the barrier. Shippo ran forwarded hoping to catch the two before they entered and tripped as he fell he landed inside the barrier.

Miroku, Sango, Shippo, Kagura and Kanna all crossed into the barrier at the same time throwing them selves into a dark wooded area, off to the side was the meadow Kagome and Inuyasha had been in. The whispering voice called to them all…

~*~Sango's POV~*~

My Family… I looked around the dark woods, I was alone and it was cold out. Tears began to fall from my eyes as I looked around, all I could see was the dead bodies from my village. I heard every scream they made, felt every blow and hit they took from the demons that killed them.

I saw the blood and chaos, then… I saw father and the giant spider demon we had killed. "Father…Kohaku Why?" I turned and asked Kohaku as he stood in front of me with his weapon ready to throw it at me. "Kohaku…KOHAKU!!!!"

I felt it hit me, and I hit the ground only to open my eyes and see my self still standing in the black forest. The stupid empty forest, I had no family they were all dead. But wait, Kagome…Inuyasha, Shippo… "Miroku" his name rolled off my tongue.

I loved him deeply, but weren't the others my family too. I may have lost my family but I got them back in another form. Didn't I? Stupid Miroku always groping other women, but I never stopped loving him for that. Inuyasha was sometimes such a jerk to Kagome and the rest of us, but I still care about him.

Mother…father…everyone I hope you rest in peace. Although I have lost you, physically I will always have our memories… you will always be in my heart. Kagome Inuyasha Shippo Miroku, I care about each and every one of you, I love you all in different ways. I hope that what ever happens when we destroy Naraku we will always have each other. I closed my eyes as the tears cascaded down my cheeks. I couldn't bare to lose anyone else in my family,

"Kohaku…I hope you will rest in peace. Forgive me for killing you the next time we meet but I can not let Naraku have you in his evil any longer." I whispered my words at first and then screamed them out.

I was alone no one could hear me. I let myself fall to the ground once more sobbing, it was time I cried for the last time. I felt arms circle me and I realized something, I wasn't alone… I still had my family…

~*~Miroku's POV~*~

No matter where I looked I couldn't see Sango anywhere, the screams I had just heard made me fearful for her. I loved her deeply and I wanted to tell her I only felt up other women to make her jealous. I glanced down at my hand where the Kazaana lay.

As another scream ripped through the forest I couldn't help but scream out for Sango, my mind raced what if something happened and she was hurt. I neared the edge of the forest and saw a clearing up ahead, I can only hope she was there and okay.

What ever was hurting her was gonna pay, all of the sudden I didn't care if I destroyed Naraku or ever got the Kazaana to go away, all that mattered to me was that Sango would be okay. I kept running, up ahead of me I could see someone on the ground. "Sango?" I whispered, bending down near the body I noticed it was indeed Sango. "Lady Sango.." Please Kami-sama I will give you my life anything just please let her be okay.

A soft voice called my name and began to make me feel very drowsy, I picked up Sango and walked over to the tree in fact I think it was the same willow tree that Inuyasha and Kagome were at. I wasn't exactly sure, my mind was foggy and I was loosing sight of what was there and what wasn't.

As I kept walking fifty beautiful young girls appeared and began calling my name, I kept walking even as they groped at me. "Must make sure Lady Sango is okay. Go away I don't care about any of you, its Sango I care about." I sighed finally I reached the trunk of the tree, I sat down letting Sango rest in my lap before darkness and sleep took me into its welcoming arms.

~*~Kagura and Kanna NPOV~*~

Kagura and Kanna stood in an open meadow, both of them had only one wish. To be them selves to be free from Naraku, to see Naraku die. Kagura looked around and then down at her sister Kanna, Kanna smiled up at Kagura and then frowned as her mirror was taken from her hands. Kagura frowned as well when her fan was taken from her.

The fan and mirror spun in the air and then both came crashing back to the earth that they shattered, and left a hole six feet deep. Kagura and Kanna piled dirt over the hole, then they danced singing happily.

Kagura lifted her hand and called for a breeze, to her happiness it came. She was still the wind youkai. Kanna spun in a circle a voice softly whispered that she was now the guardian of the fukai.

After dancing both collapsed in giggles, and just talked about what they hoped to do now that they were free, finally free from Naraku. Soon sleep called for them both and they too fell asleep joining the rest.

~*~Shippo's POV~*~

I stood beside a lake and looked down in it. I saw my reflection, a faded memory resurfaced and played across my mind. "Mom dad…I hope you are at peace, and having fun in heaven. I miss you both, but I have my new Kaa-san Kagome to watch over me. Inuyasha watches over me too just like Sango and Miroku. We're all one big family, even though most of them might not know it."

I kept talking to my parents, I was pretty sure they heard me from where they were. "I wonder what the barrier really is?" I whispered this thought aloud. A soft voice reached my ears calling my name gently.

Shippo you all ready know me. I am the barrier, you have met the mortal side of me. Kaikigesshokuis my name. Tell me little one what is your hearts desire. I can not see it. "Kaikigesshoku, I thought you already granted it."

Nay child, you already knew I could not bring back your family, you all ready know deep in your heart that they are at peace. Just like you all ready know Kagome is your new mother and the rest are your family. It shows in your blood, for as Kagome took you in as her kit, her new blood runs with kitsune blood mixed with inu blood.

Your heart is all ready content and at peace I do not see what your heart wants now. I frowned and looked down at the water once again. I wasn't sure if my idea would work but I decided it was worth a try, "Kaikigesshoku what do you wish for? I mean if you could go through."

Silence surrounded me for a while and then a form took place in front of me. Kaikigesshoku sat down next to me but she was different than the one out side the barrier, for every feature was different.

Instead of violet eyes she had pale green ones, and her hair was a deep green it was almost black instead of violet blue. Even her scent was different, in stead of roses she smelled like every delicious smell you could ever think of but more heavenly.

She spoke to me in a whisper so low yet it was still loud enough for me to hear. "Shippo many people have come through this barrier for hundreds of years. I wait for them to come and let those worthy pass through. I tire of this and wish that I could live for real. Like you live, I want to dream as you dream and feel like you do. But that can never happen, I am supposed to protect and guard the barrier for all eternity.

I smiled up at her and took her hand, closing my eyes I knew what my heart wanted and wished for. Beside me I could feel Kaikigesshoku gasp at hearing my wish. Sleep now Shippo…and thank you.

~*~NPOV~*~

Kagome opened her eyes first and twitched her ears, she could have sworn she heard some one call her name during the night. At the moment it felt like something was calling for her, but she wasn't sure what.

Inuyasha walked back into camp, he looked at Kagome with a confused look on his face. "Kagome, have you seen Kaikigesshoku. I wanted to ask her something but she seems to have vanished." Kagome giggled and took Inuyasha's hand, "Come on silly she is probably waiting for them to come out of the barrier."

Inuyasha followed Kagome, "I looked, I walked up and down the length of the barrier. She is not here, I think something's happened to her." Kagome stopped and glared at him, "Do you mean to tell me that something has happened to my kit?" she hadn't realized what she called her till Inuyasha whirled around. "What did you just call her?" Kagome froze, "M..my..my kit."

"OKAA-SAN!" a voice called out, Kagome turned and spotted Shippo holding hands with a girl that looked to be about two years older than him, with her light brown hair in two braids down her back. As the two came to a stop in front of Kagome, two pairs of light green eyes looked up at her.

"Shippo, who is this?" Kagome asked as Inuyasha picked Shippo up by his tail, "Yeah who is she Shippo?" The girl answered for Shippo, "I am Engetsu (Crescent Moon), Shippo is my Aniki (older brother). I am his twin sister."

Shippo got himself free from Inuyasha and sat on Kagome's shoulder. He told Kagome and Inuyasha what had happened.

He finished his story with a "Oh she'll be back." Engetsu nodded an agreement, she still retained all her memories, and only had a few new ones added. Like now she had the same memories as Shippo, and Shippo had memories of her when they were little.

The next to appear was Sango and Miroku, both walked out hand in hand. Miroku held up his hand and showed the others that it was healed, and then turned asking Sango to be his wife. "Oh Hoshi-sama, I would love to be!"

The rest of the day was spent talking about what happened in the barrier. When night closed in around them Kagome began to tell a story to get the children sleepy and succeeded in making everyone sleepy. Tomorrow they had all agreed to head to destroy Naraku and then head back to Kaede's to talk about what should happen next.

Kagura and Kanna both left the barrier and went to go find something that satisfied them both. Now that they were free they weren't sure what to do with there freedom quite yet. So they decided they would try and find Naraku to stand up to him and destroy him once in for all. Of course they decided they would head out in the morning.

As the night went on happiness was shone on every face, and the thought of finally being Naraku free ran through everyone's mind. Soon the dawn arrived and everyone still groggy with sleep hesitantly got up and ready to leave. The group stood looking back at the barrier they had all crossed through each secretly wondering what might have happened if they never came across the barrier.

Finally Inuyasha headed out and the others began to follow behind a note was left behind thanking Kaikigesshoku for her kindness and hospitality. Up ahead of them when ever they would reach it was Naraku's palace, just waiting for them to come and destroy it and him.

The Shikon no Tama no longer had the group worried, for now it was impossible for Naraku to get it and use it. But of course that we will save for another day, another time, and another story.

~*~ I wish with all my heart for your wish to come true instead of mine Kaikigesshoku. ~*~

~*~FIN!~*~

A/N: I hoped you enjoyed the story, I finally figured out what to write to make this story go forward after I think 6 or 7 months. It was really hard to think of what every one would wish for.

I just had to put Kagura and Kanna in there, I like them both even though they are the bad guys, underneath they both really wanted freedom. Well at least Kagura did. Let me know what you think! mercyonterra@yahoo.com
