Chapter 4

 

The girls quickly found where the guys were. A small camp was set up and the wolves were there with them, Kagome could also sense that Sesshomaru was approaching. They landed and Kagome slipped off of Kirara's back. Koga was up and grabbing her hands as amusement danced plainly in her eyes.

 

"My woman, how are you?"

 

Kagome smiled sadly at him. "I'm fine, but I'll be returning home soon.... permanently. My dear friend gave his life to destroy Naraku, the evil hanyou is now dead." A look of relief flashed through his eyes before it turned to regret. "Kagura though still lives. You can still take your revenge on her. She fled at the last second, but all other incarnations are dead."

 

"Who was your friend?" Koga suddenly asked. Sesshomaru had just arrived with Rin and Jaken, but no one seemed to care.

 

"A fire demon named Hotaro. He was mated to my friend, an ice demoness named Hina. Hotaro kind of promised his son to me as a mate too." Kagome said as she looked at the wolf demon nervously.

 

"You speak of Lord Hotaro?" Sesshomaru questioned as Kagome noticed that Koga seemed shocked.

 

"I'm not sure, he never said he was a lord, though he was incredibly powerful. Did you know him?"

 

"I met him once, and he was powerful. It is a shame that he is dead though. His entire clan was wiped out in a single night when a large amount of demons attacked him, he was the last of his clan."

 

"We gave him a more than proper burial then. The entire village showed their respects and we honored him properly."

 

"You're promised to a forbidden child?" Koga suddenly asked.

 

Kagome laughed nervously. "Well, yes. But I have a question." Koga nodded for her to continue. "How can a child made of love be forbidden?" She pulled her hands from his and moved away from him. "I need your jewel shards Koga."

 

Koga nodded wordlessly from the question she had just asked. He leaned down and removed his own shards. A soft glow caught him off guard as Kagome healed the small wounds from where the shards came. "Here." He said as he handed them to her.

 

"Miko." Sesshomaru spoke as he stepped forward. Kagome turned to look at him as he approached her and the others tensed. "Why is it that you don't care if one is forbidden, demon, or hanyou?"

 

"What a person is does not matter, blood does not matter, it is who a person is and what they do that makes them who they are, and who they are is all that should matter." She spoke wisely.

 

A ghost of a smile appeared on his face as he leaned down next to her ear. "You are honorable miko, you will be a fine ally when we meet again."

 

Kagome was left speechless as he spoke those words to her. He then turned and left. She smiled to herself as she turned back to her friends. "I'll be returning home soon." She turned to Koga. "I hope that you keep your promise to Ayame." Looking at Sango and Miroku she smiled sadly and embraced them both. "You two had better have lots of children."

 

Sango smiled and blushed darkly while Miroku chuckled. "I'll make sure we do."

 

Lastly she embraced Inuyasha. "I'll miss you." She turned back to the demon slayer. "May I borrow Kirara?"

 

"No." Sango smiled as the girl sighed. "I want you to keep her, not borrow."

 

Tears spilled from her eyes as she threw herself at the slayer. "Oh Sango..."

 

"I have a gift for you." Sango smiled as she pulled out a box. Kagome opened it and gasped, it was a slayer uniform. "You've completed your training, and..." She gave her a sword that she had yet to notice she was carrying. "Before you ask, Miroku brought them for me."

 

Looking at the sword, she recognized it. It was a sword like the one Hotaro used. "Is this?"

 

"Yes, he said he wanted you to have it. They were planning on leaving soon and he wasn't sure he'd be at the village when you got back."

 

Kagome cried harder and hugged the girl closer. "You'll always be my sister Sango. Just like Miroku is my brother." The two smiled at her as she looked at the upset kit. "Say your good-byes Shippo, we need to be leaving." The kit's eyes lit up and he jumped up to hug her. "You didn't honestly think I'd leave my son here, did you?"

 

Shippo said his good-byes to everyone before they set off on Kirara. They first headed toward the village and said their good-byes to Kaede before Kagome grabbed her things. Among them was a powerful sword that she would give to Hotaro's son. It was his sword, and she would be the one to pass it down.

 

He wanted her to do it for some reason, and she simply could not deny him. They left through the well and Kagome was happy to find that Kirara had made it. She climbed out and stood before the well as she placed the final shards together and made the jewel whole. A faint pulse was felt as it began to glow brightly before fading into her chest.

 

The tama had now joined with her body and added it's power to hers, as well as it's knowledge. She wasn't all that strong, but she'd be able to take down most demons on her own. She could gain fangs and claws at will now, she had the pointed ears, a demonic life span.

 

She sighed as she led her son and companion into her house, their house. Things would now be changed. It was the middle of July, so she had a month to wait for her friend to come find her. Hopefully the boy she was promised to would be nice, but knowing her luck, it'll be another Inuyasha.
