Last Time:

"His name was Miroku Higurashi... my ancestor. He only told Kaede after making her promise not to tell any of us. So she gave Tsukiyomi his surname."

 

"Wait, you knew your own ancestors?" Kuwabara asked.

 

"Well, hai." She said as she looked at him. "I even helped birth Tsukiyomi. I was at Sango and Miroku's wedding." Her aura saddened immensely while talking about them.

 

"So let me get this straight, you time traveled for ten years and was trapped in the Sengoku Jedai for nine before returning to a week after you last left this era?" Koenma asked as he stared at her.

 

"Hai."

 

"I need you to tell me what all happened while you were in the Fuedal Era then." He said.

 

This Time:

 

Blue-gray eyes widened in slight panic. Shippo sensed this and growled dangerously at the spirit prince as he pulled the girl into his arms. "I suggest you forget about that until she's ready to talk."

 

"How many years ago did you return then?" Koenma asked with a glare at the kitsune.

 

The miko was trembling slightly because her powers weren't really within her control at the moment, so her empathy was pulling in all the wandering emotions. Whimpering slightly into Shippo's chest, she hoped to muffle the sound. "Five years ago."

 

"It's been five years and you're still not ready to talk about it?"

 

"Nope... and definitely not to you."

 

"Listen here..."

 

"Koenma." Sesshoumaru barked, scaring the little demi-god. "You will leave this Sesshoumaru's imouto alone."

 

That received a giggle from the miko as she turned to smile thankfully at him. "Well, this Kagome wishes to return home."

 

That had everyone else's attention turning to her as the demon lord sighed. "Very well, then this Ses.. I mean I shall make a portal." He corrected as he saw the slight amusement dance in her eyes.

 

"Thank-you." She said as she moved to grab Hiei's hand as well as Yukina's. "Come on girls."

 

"What about us?" Yusuke asked as he stared at them.

 

"I suppose you can come too... if you quit getting angry." Kagome said as she led them through the new portal. Letting go of Yukina's hand, she grabbed Shippo's and pulled him to one of the couches. Then she pushed him down and pouted at Hiei who sighed and sat down beside the kitsune. She happily curled up between them.

 

Sesshoumaru leaned against a wall. "We will be leaving soon miko." He said, once everyone was settled down and seated.

 

"Why? Can't Shippo at least stay here for a little while?"

 

"I'm looking for someone momma." The kitsune said sadly. "My mate-to-be was killed and I'm trying to find her son."

 

"Are you talking about Souten's son Hiten?" She asked as she yawned slightly.

 

She could feel her son tense beside her, as well as sense when Sesshoumaru also tensed. "How did you know that?"

 

"Toss me phone please Keiko." The miko asked without even opening her eyes. The girl did so, which Shippo caught for her and handed to her. Opening it, she quickly dialed a number. "Hey... No... Nothing's wrong Souta... Nope, I just need you home... I said nothing's wrong... Yes, I promise... Alright, see you soon."

 

"What's going on?" Shippo asked as he looked at his mother.

 

"I'm making your search shorter." Curling closer to Hiei, she allowed herself to fall back to sleep.

 

An hour later, and Souta popped in, hand on his charm bracelet, and his eyes roaming the living room. "Who are you?" He more demanded than asked as he looked at Shippo and Sesshoumaru.

 

"Daddy!" Called a little boy as he ran inside and to Shippo.

 

"Hiten." The kitsune said slightly happily as he picked the boy up and hugged him. Kagome smiled in her sleep as she sensed his happiness. Shippo slowly stood and smiled at the human boy. "You're Souta?" The boy gave a nod. "I'm your nephew then. The kitsune Shippo." He said as he nodded his head.

 

"And he is?" He asked as his violet eyes flicked over to the inu youkai.

 

"Sesshoumaru-sama." Kurama answered the boy. "He's the king of Makai."

It was starting to get darker outside when Kagome finally woke up. Her blurry eyes took in her surrounding, and it appeared that Shippo was cuddled against her like he used to do when they traveled all those years ago. She smiled at him as a memory rose to the forefront of her mind, then another, and another, until they started to run free.

 

Memories

 

She was sitting on a grassy hill as the rest of the group remained in the village. At the bottom of the hill was her little boy and he was smiling up at her. "Mommy! Mommy! Look what I found!" He called as he ran up to her while holding a purple flower. "Isn't it pretty momma?"

 

"Yes sweetie, but it's not as pretty as you are."

 

"I'm a boy momma. I'm not pretty, I'm handsome." He said as he puffed out his chest. The miko giggled at that, and her blue-gray eyes sparkled a beautiful sapphire.

 

--

 

"How was that mom?" A kitsune of about eleven asked as he looked at her with pure joy.

 

"That was wonderful honey. Show me again please?"

 

"Hai." The kitsune said as he showed her his sword movements once more. "Think Sesshoumaru-sama will notice?"

 

"I'm sure he will."

 

--

 

"Please Sesshou, just compliment him once? He wants to know he's good, and Inuyasha keeps telling him he's lousy."

 

The inu youkai finally nodded. "I will find something to compliment him on then, miko."

 

"Thank-you." She said as she hugged him.

 

--

 

"Do you think I'm ready momma?" Asked a fifteen year old kitsune as he stood tall with his sword in hand and sweat coating his body.

 

"I'm sure you are sweetie."

 

"Do you think he'll accept my suit though? Or that Rin will? What if he doesn't? Or worse, what if she doesn't?"

 

The raven haired woman giggled at that and stood up, showing off her expensive silk kimono. "Listen sweetie, he'll either accept or deny. You have to go to him to find that out."

 

--

 

"Sesshoumaru-sama." The red kitsune said as he fell to his knees and allowed his head to touch the back of his hands which were flat on the ground.

 

"Rise kit. Now what do you wish?" Asked the tai youkai as the kitsune slowly rose to his feet. Kagome was hidden in the tree line with a fourteen year old Rin at her side.

 

"I wish to ask your permission to court Lady Rin." He said with as much strength and bravery as he could.

 

The girl's eyes widened, but she kept quiet. "You will have to prove yourself to me then." The inu youkai said as he narrowed his eyes. And he charged. The powerful demon was fast, but so too was Shippo. The kit quickly drew his sword and blocked. Metal continued to clang against each other for an hour before Shippo was disarmed. The kit closed his eyes and fell to his knees, knowing he failed. "You have stood against me longer than most, I believe you are worthy to court my ward, as long as she agrees."

 

"Thank-you my lord." The kit said as he bowed deeply.

 

--

 

"Rin." Shippo said as he held her hands within his own. "May I have your permission to court you."

 

"Yes." The young woman said as she threw her arms around his neck. "I... I thought that you'd never see me this way."

 

"I have, but I needed your guardian's permission to ask for your hand."

 

--

 

"How do I..? I mean what do I..? Momma... please help?" Th kitsune asked as he sighed and sank into his chair.

 

The miko giggled. "Do you wish to know how to please her?"

 

The kitsune blushed a dark red, but nodded. "Hai momma."

 

"Alright. You just have to..." And she explained it. Giggling at some parts. At the end, she laughed and asked him something. "Why not go to Miroku with these questions?"

 

"I-I wanted to be sure of the source. I know women from your time seem knowledgeable on that information."

 

End Of Memories

 

Her eyes were watering as she looked at her little boy. He was now all grown up. Wait. He said mate-to-be. He was talking about Souten... What happened to Rin? Needing to know, she gently shook him awake. "Shippo..."

 

"Mommy?" He questioned as he opened his eyes.

 

"What happened to Rin?"

 

Now his eyes darkened. Emerald faded to forest green. "Kikyo killed her while she was pregnant with our third child. Inuyasha killed our first born son."

 

"Oh Shippo." She said as sapphire tears started to fall. Flinging her arms around her son, she started sobbing into his haori. "I'm so sorry!"

 

"It's ok momma." The kitsune said as he hugged her back. "Our second child it about a century and a half old. Rin was killed about a century ago, and then Souten and I started getting close about five decades ago."

 

"What is your second child? Boy or girl?"

 

"Kenji, our little boy." He said as he smiled sadly. "He has black hair like Rin's, and my green eyes."

 

"I want to meet him. He is my grandchild after all." She said with a slight giggle.

 

"Of course momma." It was quiet for a few moments before he spoke again. "Will you tell me, what happened?"

 

The miko closed her eyes and sighed. Painful memories started swarming her mind, but she violently pushed them away. Gray eyes looked into emerald as she nodded. "Do me a favor first?"

 

"Hai?"

 

"Get Hiei, Keiko, and Souta."

 

"Alright momma." The kitsune nodded as he stood and left the room. He found the others all watching a movie. "Keiko, Uncle Souta."

 

"Hmm?" The girl asked as she turned to see him.

 

"Hai?" Souta asked as he tensed slightly.

 

"Mind leaving the movie?"

 

"Why? Is something wrong with Kagome?" Souta asked quickly.

 

"No, she just wants to talk. Hiei is wanted to... wherever he is."

 

After saying that, the hybrid appeared at his side. The others jumped, but Shippo and Souta didn't. "You're not surprised that he appeared like that?" Yusuke asked.

 

"Sesshoumaru does the same thing." Shippo shrugged "anyways, come on you two." Souta nodded and stood quickly. Keiko shrugged and followed as well. Shippo led them back to Kagome's room, closing the door behind them, then plopping down on the bed. White smoke filled the room and Shippo disappeared, only to be replaced by a little kitsune that curled up in the miko's lap. Kirara popped in next and sat on her shoulder.

 

"What did you need us for sis?" Souta asked as he sat gently down beside her.

 

"You've always wondered Souta, why I came home bleeding. Why my blood was... strange."

 

"Yes, but you never wanted to talk about it." He said calmly.

 

"I-I've decided to tell you... and you Keiko, you're my cousin. We're close, so I want you to know. And Hiei, you're my mate. You've shown me your past, so... you deserve to know mine."

 

Souta moved and placed his arms around her as he nuzzled into her neck. It was a habit he'd picked up from her. "It's ok sis."

 

"I know." She said with a sigh. "It all started on my fifteenth birthday..."
