Chapter 10: Future Girls

 

Kagome twitched as another giggle blew past her lips. “Stop Youko please!” she said between snickers.

 

Youko chuckled as he squeezed her legs once more only to be rewarded with the miko's shriek.

 

“Youko! I… I can't breath!” she managed to say amid her laughter, burying her face between his shoulder blades and cackling into the fabric of his shirt.

 

“If you are still able to speak, then apparently you can breath.” He chuckled.

 

That morning Kurama had agreed to let Youko remain in control for the day. Since they were in the feudal era they didn't have to worry about blending in with humans. After taking a quick bath, Kagome dried off and pulled her clothes on before jumping onto Youko's back and directing him to where they had to go.

 

While the silver kitsune was dashing through the trees, he had lowered his grasp on Kagome's legs, closer to her knees, so he could pull her up further. When he had tightened his grip at the lower area of her leg, Kagome burst into a fit of giggles as her leg flinched away from his touch. It only took him a moment to realize she was ticklish and had yet to cease his torment on the poor helpless miko. She was now laughing so hard that she was practically gasping for breath.

 

After a few more minutes of her begging him to stop before she passed out from lack of air or died from laughing so hard, he finally slid his grip up higher to her mid thighs. A large grin was still plastered to his face long after she had regained her breath. Youko honestly couldn't remember the last time he had this much fun… running through the fresh air of the forest with the only woman that had actually captured his heart.

 

He was enjoying every minute of that day. For the first time in a long time… Youko felt happy. Truly happy. He finally understood why so many before him had relished their memories of love and cherished it. He appreciated why so many had died fighting to protect this thing called love. Why they fought for love and didn't mind giving their lives for it. He now understood what it felt like to actually be in love.

 

Kagome rested her chin on his shoulder and smiled brightly when he glanced at her from the corner of his eye. To see that beautiful smile directed at him… and him alone brought joy to his heart. His entire being flooded with pride and accomplishment with the knowledge that the breathtakingly stunning miko that he was carrying was his first true love… and somehow he knew she felt the same for him. He swore he'd be the happiest demon in all three realms if he would be granted with the gift of waking up to see her lying next to him every morning.

 

A small smile spread across his features as he thought of why he loved Kagome so much. It was her personality, her forgivingness, and caring, loving, friendly, intelligent, observant, trusting characteristics. How stubborn she could be… how sexy she was when she was angry… her irresistible pout when she didn't get what she wanted… the purity of her aura alone… her smile that could brighten anyone's darkest day.

 

The pure joy in her laughter, her clumsiness, the silly grin she would give them once she got back on her feet after proving said clumsiness. Her exception of demons, her beautiful brown eyes, and of course he couldn't leave out how much he loved the rough and playful side of her. And last but definitely not least, her intoxicatingly wonderful scent.

 

Youko was quite surprised with himself that he was able to create a list so long that didn't include one remark about her perfect body and how desperately he wanted to claim it. He still did of course, but he realized that he loved her for more than just her looks. He smirked to himself when he realized he had literally shocked Kurama into silence. If he were in control at the moment, his mouth would be hanging open and his eyes wide in astonishment.

 

“What are you thinking about?” Kagome whispered as she removed one of her arms from around his neck so she could reach up and stroke his silky soft ears.

 

He purred softly as his tail moved to brush along her thighs. “You.”

 

Kagome blushed slightly and smiled. “I'm overjoyed to hear that and I hate to say this but we're almost there. We can walk the rest of the way.” She informed him and he slowed to a stop. Placing her back on her feet, Youko wrapped his silver tail around her waist and pulled her close beside him as they began walking.

 

Smiling to herself, Kagome brushed her fingers through Youko's soft tail. She could sense the demons around them and glanced up at Youko to see him on high alert. His adorable ears were darting in every direction to catch any sounds around them. She wasn't too worried because they were only minutes away from Kouga's den. Every member of his pack knew her scent and knew not to harm her.

 

On the journey here, Kagome had pondered on how she possibly fell for two completely different men at the same time. Though she didn't have to worry about it considered being cheating because both the men she had fallen for shared one body. She didn't worry about them being jealous either because she loved them both equally the same, just for different reasons.

 

Youko was the overprotective, aggressive, sex crazy, sneaky, playful one while Kurama was polite, caring, always worrying about her well being, yet still knew how to turn her on without trying very hard. She considered them her own personal example of Yin and Yang. Without one, she couldn't have the other. Kurama was the good one, always trying to please everyone and keep peace. Youko was her sexy bad boy that tried to rile things up and make them exciting.

 

Her thoughts were brought to a screeching halt when she felt Kouga's jewel shards speeding toward them. Asking Youko to stop, she dropped down from his back and stood beside him as they awaited the wolf prince's arrival. She wasn't surprised when she eventually saw the large twister headed straight for them only to disappear at the last second. She was also not astonished to see Kouga standing before her grasping her hands softly.

 

A fierce and deadly growl slowly formed in Youko's chest as he glared at the wolf standing much to close to his potential mate. Kagome had warned him that Kouga thought she was his woman and he was sure he could control himself but actually witnessing the demon touching his vixen was a completely different story than hearing about it.

 

Kagome smiled sheepishly and slowly pulled her hands from Kouga's grasp. “Hello Kouga.”

 

“It's good to see you Kagome, I was worried that mutt face would be able to keep you safe without me around.” He snorted as his gaze turned to the silver haired demon standing behind Kagome only to realize it wasn't Inuyasha.

 

“Who the hell are you and what are you doing on my turf?!” Kouga snarled.

 

“This is Youko, but that's not important right now. Kouga you have to listen to me, the final battle is approaching.” Kagome said, not quite thinking of how her words might have affected Youko.

 

The kitsune in question was currently staring at Kagome's back blankly. He wasn't important? That was what she had said right? His ears drooped slightly as his attention wavered. How could he have been so idiotic to actually believe that he had a chance with such a perfect woman? He wasn't important to her…

 

“So we need you to fight on our side against Naraku and his army.” Kagome concluded.

 

“Of course Kagome, anything for you. I still need to get my revenge for Kagura killing my pack.” He growled angrily.

 

“I understand, but we need to hurry. You can gather whatever allies you have and find us. We'll need all the help we can get.” Kagome said quietly.

 

“Not a problem, we'll meet up with you and the mutt in time for the battle.” He assured before dashing off to assemble his allies.

 

Sighing in relief, Kagome turned a bright smile to Youko and began walking back toward the direction they came. Youko quietly followed behind her without a word. After the first hour of traveling back in complete silence, Kagome couldn't take it anymore. Turning on her heel, she fixed her gaze on the kitsune lagging behind her.

 

“Why are you so quiet?”

 

“So suddenly I'm important once more?” he questioned sharply, avoiding her gaze.

 

Kagome groaned as she realized what she had done. She didn't mean for her words to insult him. She wasn't saying Youko was unimportant, but was merely trying to avert Kouga's attention away from him so they didn't start fighting. She hadn't thought that her comment would hurt the kitsune so. Sighing to herself, Kagome made her way over to him and waited for him to look at her.

 

“I didn't mean it like that Youko.” she said when he refused to meet her gaze. Still, he did not turn to look at her and she already felt bad enough. Wrapping her arms around him, she hugged him tightly and rested her head against his chest.

 

“I didn't mean that you were unimportant Youko. I was just trying to avert Kouga's attention away from you so a fight didn't break lose. Knowing you, just one of Kouga's remarks about you stealing his `woman' would have been enough to set you off on a killing spree.”

 

A soft growl rumbled in his chest, but that was the only response she received from the kitsune. Sighing to herself, Kagome reached up and softly rubbed his smooth ears. “I'm sorry… ok?” she said, looking up at him with the best pout she could possibly muster.

 

He glanced at her from the corner of his eyes and groaned. Who could possibly stay angry at that face? So maybe he did over react a little, but it was worth it since he was able to get her this close to him. Smirking, he didn't give the miko a chance the back away before he pressed his lips against hers firmly. With the added sensation of her stroking his ears, Youko was practically in heaven.

 

Kagome's eyes fluttered shut as she returned his kiss. She gasped slightly when his arms wrapped around her waist and pulled her closer while his tail entwined around her thigh securely. He took complete advantage of her gasp and slipped his tongue through her parted lips and relished in the delicious taste that lingered after he parted to let her breath. Lust filled his entire being as he watched her chest heave from her deep long breaths.

 

He was tempted to lower her to the ground and pound into her… or perhaps press her firmly against one of the many trees that surrounded them and allow her perfectly toned legs to wrap around his waist to keep her in place. With the way her luscious body was pressed against his at the moment and the slowly increasing scent of her arousal, Youko was finding it difficult to pull away from the miko.

 

“You don't have to worry about Kouga… you're the one I love.” She whispered so softly that he almost didn't hear her. His surprised golden eyes shot up to meet her chocolate brown ones only to see complete honestly in them. He smiled and kissed her once more, though more passionately.

 

“You are the first to ever capture my heart… and the first I gladly hand it over to.” He said as he held her close.

 

“Don't worry, I'll take good care of it as long as you do the same with mine.” She smiled.

 

“No need to fret, your love is the most precious treasure I've ever received and will be treated with great care.” He promised as he leaned down to bury his nose in her hair. Nuzzling her neck lovingly, he gently grazed one of his fangs along the skin of her neck. When she flinched, he pulled away with a smirk. Kagome reached a hand up to her neck to brush her fingers along the mark he had placed on her neck before turning a questioning look up to him.

 

“It's a temporary claim. Any demon that comes near us will sense my aura and understand that you are taken.” He explained.

 

“But Youko…”

 

“Don't worry; it will fade by the end of the day. Naraku will not sense our connection.” He interrupted her.

 

Kagome smiled slightly. So he understood that she didn't want Naraku to have the upper hand of knowing their relationship status. At least they were on the same page, but then what was the point of placing the temporary mark in the first place?

 

“If you're wondering why I marked you then, it is because when my scent and aura is more entwined with yours, it makes it far easier for me to not throw you to the ground and make you mine repeatedly.” He continued to explain. Kagome blushed slightly at this and leaned up to kiss him softly on the lips before pulling away.

 

“We should… uhhh get going. Everyone is probably waiting for us to find them.” she stuttered.

 

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~

 

“This is a bunch of bull! Why can't this bastard come out and fight like a man!” Yusuke yelled in irritation.

 

For the last few days, they had been working on locating Naraku's castle… and Yusuke was beginning to believe what Sango was saying about it being near impossible to find him. Inuyasha had already returned with his half brother and they were still waiting on Kagome and Kurama. It's been a week since they left Kaede's village to being their search and only a day after they began, it was apparent that Naraku knew what was happening.

 

During the second day of their travels, Naraku sent several of his puppets to test their strength. It wasn't enough of course seeing as Hiei was able to dispatch all seven of them without much effort. With that show of power, Naraku continued to send assassins in their direction, each of them failing to complete their task. Hiei was even able to scare information out of the last demon that attacked them.

 

He explained that they were mere distractions while Naraku finished building his strength and collecting his army together. He made it very clear that the final battle was going to begin within the next few days. Aki began to worry about Kagome and Kurama when even Kouga and several of his fighters met up with them before them. Sango assured the fire girl that Kagome was probably just taking a detour back to Kaede's to pick up the nekos before they made their way to meet up with them.

 

Sango was proven to be correct when the two kitsunes, along with all four nekos, appeared the following night. Everyone was on edge when Kagome and Kurama arrived. They could practically taste the evil aura that could only belong to Naraku. Hiei, Kurama, Sesshomaru, and Inuyasha were the only one's that didn't sleep that night. Kurama refused to let Kagome out of his sight and had the miko sleeping in his lap.

 

Hiei had positioned himself in the tree closest to Sango and Kagome smirked when she noticed this before she had fallen asleep. Everyone else was scattered across their campsite with their weapons at their sides. The nekos slept near their mistresses, partly awake so they could leap into battle and protect them if the need arose.

 

Thankfully, Naraku wasn't attempting to play dirty and hadn't ordered any demons to attack them the entire night. This of course meant only one thing… the final battle would begin that morning.

 

Everyone was awake at the crack of dawn. The girls agreed that since no one but Inuyasha, Miroku and the yu yu gang knew about their true identities that they would fight without transforming until they really needed their demon power. It was to serve as a secret weapon against Naraku and his army and would hopefully be enough to defeat him without any losses on their side.

 

Sango strapped Hiraikotsu to her back as Kagome slung her bow and quiver of arrows over her shoulder. Since Keiko didn't have any special powers or fighting skills in her human form, she was to stay near Kagome since the miko could only attack from a slightly farther range. They would also be protected by Haru and Shiro so no demons could reach them while Kagome attacked from off the battlefield.

 

Once everyone was prepared, they all made their way toward where Naraku's dark miasma clouded the sky in the distance. It didn't take them long to arrive at the large open clearing that Naraku's large army waited. The vile hanyou and his spawn stood behind the lines of demons. Hakudoshi was at his left, Kagura at his right, along with Kanna.

 

“So this is it! This will decide who will win the Shikon No Tama once and for all!” Naraku smirked, his gaze focusing on Kagome who was glaring with pure hatred at both him and Hakudoshi. He was slightly curious of her hostility. The miko was usually the least violent but as he was gazing at her now, he could spot the true anger and desire for revenge settling in her dark glare.

 

Naraku's gaze of the miko was blocked when the odd red headed demon stepped in front of her, his glare far more threatening than the little miko's. His smirk returned as he saw the possessive nature reveal itself from not only the red head but the short demon dressed in black and the dark haired boy as well. So they not only added several demons to their alliance, but also more humans… interesting.

 

“Stop your yackin and get your cowardly ass over here!” Inuyasha growled as he stepped forward at the head of the group.

 

“Ah, Inuyasha… so eager to die?” he chuckled darkly as he ordered his demons forth to begin their attack.

 

There were far more demons than they had first expected. Inuyasha, Sesshomaru, and Kouga were slowly hacking their way toward Naraku who had yet to move from his spot since the battle began. The spirit detectives, as well as Sango and Miroku were working on destroying the army of demons but they just kept coming.

 

Kagome stayed out of reach of any attacking demons with the help of Haru and Shiro. Keiko and Aki stood behind Kagome to watch her back just in case. Aki held back her fire powers because she wanted to use them as a last resort, along with them transforming. It was best if they underestimated them and they were able to catch them off guard.

 

It wasn't long before Kagome ran out of arrows and was rendered useless for the time being. So now they were to follow their plan and Kagome, Aki, and Keiko were to remain out of the battle unless the need arose for them to transform. Naraku, Hakudoshi, Kagura, and Kanna were still standing at the exact same spot as before. There were so many demons that no one had the chance to even reach them yet.

 

Kagome was beginning to grow irritated with merely standing on the side and watching the battle rage on. Naraku's army was slowly being defeated but it seemed to be taking days, not to mention everyone was bound to be getting tired soon. Most of the fighters were already injured in some way and that was slowing them down badly enough. Finally the last of the demons were destroyed and everyone felt relief that perhaps no one would be fatally injured in this battle.

 

They were wrong of course. Just as Hiei cut down the last demon and Inuyasha leapt to attack Naraku, tentacles erupted from the ground and captured majority of their allies. Youko, who had taken over half way through the battle, was pinned to the ground. Hiei was wrapped against a nearby tree while Sesshomaru was bound completely. Inuyasha was in a similar situation as his half brother but Naraku was slowly dragging the hanyou toward him.

 

Naraku ordered Kagura to take out Kouga and for Kanna to steal the monk's soul. Hakudoshi stepped forward to fight Sango as Naraku prepared to absorb Inuyasha and increase his powers. Youko was being dragged behind Inuyasha and that's when Kagome lost control. An angry growl tore from her throat as she stepped onto the battlefield, Keiko and Aki right behind her.

 

Purification rose from Kagome's body as her anger grew and Aki allowed her flames to engulf her entire body. Kagome's purification looked similar to Aki's flames, just a faded purple color instead of burning red. Surprised by the sudden threat, Naraku sent forth several more tentacles. Hakudoshi even changed his course of action and averted his attention to the pissed miko and fire girl.

 

 

A large barrier flew up around the three girls as the tentacle approached. It turned to dust and Naraku smirked. “This just grew more exciting. Hakudoshi, kill the silver kitsune.” He ordered and Kagome snapped.

 

We are the future girls!

“Forbidden Crystal Power!”

 

The other girls reached for their broaches and followed after Kagome.

 

“Forbidden Aqua Power!”

 

“Forbidden Ruby Power!”

 

“Forbidden Sapphire Power!”

 

Diamondsand castles
Heroes, kings and battles
A world full of shiny stonesand pearls

Time seemed to freeze as everyone watched the four completely human girls transform into full demons. Their clothing changed to matching uniforms and the power that emitted from each of them surprised those who didn't know of their true identity. Kagome opened her silver eyes and smirked at the shocked looks on Naraku and Hakudoshi's faces.

 

Times are now changing
All of this means nothing
In this crazy universe
Cause were the future girls

Without hesitation, Kagome leapt forward with remarkable speed and cut Youko loose. Aki, Keiko, and Sango helped release the others from Naraku's hold as Kagome dove into battle against Hakudoshi… she had s score to settle with him. Hiei stepped forward to take on Kagura since Kouga was too injured to fight while Aki, Keiko, Yusuke, and Kuwabara took on Kanna. Everyone else centered their attention on destroying Naraku.

And we move round and round in circles
Round and round again
Cause our missionis the future
And the future never ends

 

Kagome threw her purifying shards at the demon after dodging his sword. She took note that Hakudoshi was just as fast as he was in the future but his skill wasn't anywhere near as great. Though it was still good enough that Kagome needed to stay on her guard and watch his every move if she wanted to win this battle. Putting a decent amount of her power into her fist, she punched the demon straight in the jaw when he came down to swipe at her with his sword once more.

We are the future girls - A whoa-oh-oh!
The future girls - Oh-oh-oh!
We are the future girls - A whoa-oh-oh!
And the future never ends

Youko kept a close eye on Kagome while he tried to find an opening in Naraku's defenses. If they could just get a direct hit to the damn hanyou, they could take him out. But he held a strong barrier around him that seemed to be unbreakable. Hearing Kagome cry out, he turned to see Hakudoshi get his first hit to her back, slashing his sword along the fabric. Youko winced in pain as one of Naraku's roots plunged through his stomach, his lack of attention was quickly taken advantage of… and that was Youko's mistake.

Space crew recruiters
Data and computers
All part of modern life on earth

“Fox pay attention!” Hiei snarled as he leapt threw and dodged Kagura's Dance of Blades once more. Glaring up at the wind witch, he unsheathed his sword and sped toward her. He was impressed that she was able to follow his quick movements and effectively dodge his attacks. It mattered not though; it would only be a matter of time before he pushed his katana through her hollow chest. There was no way in hell this pathetic excuse for a demon was going to defeat him.

 

Faster and better
Nothing lasts forever
In this crazy universe
Cause were the future girls

Kanna proved to be a far more difficult opponent than they had first expected. They had been warned of the albino girl's deadly ability to steal souls with her mirror as well as her capability to reflect attacks but Yusuke seemed to not care. He carelessly fired his Spirit Gun at the demon child repeatedly, only retrieving the same results every time. Once his attack would reach her, she would hold her mirror in the way and the spirit gun would bounce off and return to them twice as strong.

And we move round and round in circles
Round and round again
Cause our missionis the future
And the future never ends!

Hearing that Youko was in trouble but refusing to repeat the same mistake as she did the last time she battled Hakudoshi, Kagome delivered a kick to her opponent's stomach before spinning around and throwing a punch straight to his face. Flipping over him, she was now facing the direction Naraku and the others were but still had Hakudoshi in her sights. Quickly searching for Youko, she found him still fighting but with a gaping hole in his stomach.

We are the future girls - A whoa-oh-oh!
The future girls - Oh-oh-oh!
We are the future girls - A whoa-oh-oh!
And the future never ends

Hiei smirked as he finally found his opening and leapt toward Kagura. Just as she was about to deliver her Dance of the Dragon attack, he disappeared from her sights and repositioned himself behind her. Without hesitation, he plunged his sword through her back, satisfied when he saw the blood slip down his blade and the wind witch fall to the ground limp. With that taken care of, the hybrid moved on to assist in the defeat of Naraku.

 

We are the future girls - A whoa-oh-oh!
The future girls - Oh-oh-oh!
We are the future girls - A whoa-oh-oh!
And the future never ends!

Aki and Keiko fell to their knees as Kanna continued to steal their souls. Yusuke was injured from the reflect of his own attack and Kuwabara was already unable to fight since he was missing half his soul. Pissed, Yusuke charged up one last Spirit Gun as Aki and Keiko built up to combine their attacks with his. With the remaining of his strength, he released his attack. Aki threw her flames toward the spirit gun, increasing the power of the attack while Keiko used her power over wind to throw Kanna's mirror from her grasp. The albino demon could only stare with wide surprised eyes as her life came to an end and the souls trapped in her mirror were released.

Round and round in circles
Round and round again
Cause our mission is the future (future~)..

Everyone but Kagome was fighting to break down Naraku's barrier and destroy him once and for all. Kagome was still occupied with her fight against Hakudoshi but she was also doing her best to keep watch over her friends fighting across the battlefield from her. She could tell they were growing tired, especially Youko and Inuyasha, who were fatally injured but still fighting. Those who were unable to fight any longer were watching from afar, hoping for the best and cursing themselves for using up all their energy or getting injured.

And we move round and round in circles
Round and round again
Cause our mission is the future
And the future never ends

Kagome spotted the weakness in Naraku's barrier just as Hakudoshi drove his sword through her shoulder. Kagome smirked as she realized that she also found Hakudoshi's weakness. She had been trying to get near enough to him so she could touch him but he was smart enough not to let her come in contact with him. He knew that just one touch and he would be purified but when he took the attack to plunge his katana through her, he brought himself close enough to Kagome for her to reach him. Moving quickly so he couldn't escape, Kagome grabbed hold of Hakudoshi's arm and pushed her purification into through his skin. His screams of pain were silenced as he turned to dust.

 

We are the future girls - A whoa-oh-oh!
The future girls - Oh-oh-oh!
We are the future girls - A whoa-oh-oh!
And the future never ends!

Doing her best to ignore the excruciating pain that throbbed through her arm, Kagome rushed to reach everyone else. She dropped to her knees as she reached Youko's side and pushed the palms of her hands to the ground. With a smirk toward the dark hanyou, she pushed all her power into the roots below the soil. Combining her purification into the roots, she manipulated them to push up from the ground directly beneath Naraku. Everyone watched as the purification laced roots tore into Naraku and he fell to the same fate of Hakudoshi.

We are the future girls!

 

 

Kagome held her shoulder and winced in pain as she fell to the ground completely. She could hear people calling her name but it was so far away… so just hoped that someone would gather Naraku's shards of the jewel before they were stolen.

 

Youko rushed to Kagome's side and pulled her into his arms. His gaping wound was still bleeding but he didn't care at the moment, all that mattered was if Kagome was going to be ok. Haru limped his way over to them, as well as Kirara, Shiro, and Koro. Haru stood before Youko and growled low in his chest. Youko nodded and stood as best he could. Once he was on his feet, he used all his strength to lift Kagome up onto Haru's back. The neko whimpered softly from the pain in one of his injured paws but was determined to carry Kagome back to the safety of Kaede's village.

 

Hiei, Miroku, and Sesshomaru were the only ones not fatally injured. Inuyasha was placed on Kirara's back while Aki and Kuwabara climbed onto Koro and Keiko and Yusuke on Shiro. Hiei lifted Sango into his arms and everyone took off back toward the village. Youko refused to slow Haru down or injure him further by allowing the neko to carry him so he ground his teeth together and dealt with the pain of his many injures as he ran beside Haru.

 

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~

 

Kagome awoke with a start. She flew up into a sitting position and her panicked eyes searched the small hut. Everyone was there… safe and alive. She wasn't surprised that her miko powers healed her wounds already but she was shocked to see that everyone else was also healed. Before she could ask, Sango sat in front of Kagome and presented to the miko the complete and whole Shikon No Tama.

 

“Youko picked up the pieces before we left and once we arrived here, he was going to put all the pieces together in the bottle with our shards but once all the shards were in your aura, it fused together and we were all healed.” The slayer explained.

 

Kagome turned to gaze at the red head sitting behind her. He apparently had her resting against him before she woke so suddenly. He smiled to her softly and she leaned back to kiss him softly on the lips. “Thank you.”

 

“Get a room you two!” Yusuke complained jokingly.

 

“Don't need to, we already have one waiting for us at home.” She grinned.

 

“Whoa… too much information there Kags!” Yusuke chuckled.

 

“Wait! Before we get off subject here, what do we do with the Shikon?” Keiko asked.

 

Kagome turned her gaze down to the jewel and smiled. She knew her wish was slightly selfish but that didn't matter. She would take whatever punishment the jewel would take… as long as she could see her friends happy.

 

“I wish for Kohaku and Kikyou to have a second chance at life.” She said so softly that only Kurama heard her.

 

The jewel glowed brightly before exploding in a rainbow of colors that looked like a firework. Kikyou and Kohaku materialized into the hut from thin air and Keiko, Aki, Sango, and Kagome's demon features suddenly appeared. Sango stared at her younger brother with wide watery eyes before diving toward him and pulling him into a tight hug.

 

Kikyou thanked Kagome for wishing for her to have a second chance and promised to make the most of it. It was also quite obvious that the punishment for her wish was for the Forbidden Jewels to remain in their demon forms. This of course made it more difficult for them to be in the human realm but Kagome was sure they could find some kind of concealment spell.

 

Leaning her back against Kurama's chest, she smiled as she pulled him down into a passionate kiss and whispered how much she loved him. It didn't matter what she was or where, as long as her friends and love were there with her… she could overcome anything.
