The night was a long one. Her father's demon lover was given the task of explaining all that had happened. And he did tell them. Everything. About how her father had been a spirit detective, how he had lost his mind, and how he had tried to unleash the demon realm onto the humans. After the story, Amani gently brushed his bangs from his face. Love was clearly written in every line.

 

Kagome smiled sadly at her mother in the morning hours. The explanation had taken all night and they were all still wide awake. It was only an hour that the now uninjured man began to wake. Blue eyes fluttered open and he stared around in confusion. "Where... am I?"

 

Helping him up, Kagome eased some water down his throat. "You're home dad." Shocked eyes met her own, and she smiled. "You and Itsuki are at the shrine."

 

"Itsuki?"

 

"I'm here." The tall demon said as he stepped forward.

 

"How...?"

 

"Your daughter saved you. She has pure seikouki." The man looked to his daughter in awe at that. Never had he expected his daughter to possess such powers. Then he looked to his beautiful lover. Itsuki, with his teal colored hair and yellow gold eyes. The demon gave him a small smile. "I was surprised as well. She's a miko."

 

"Sensui?" A feminine voice called from the doorway.

 

Said man looked over and a soft smile overtook his features. "Amani."

 

He stood shakily and the woman threw herself into his arms. "Please don't leave again!"

 

"I don't want to, but... I have Itsuki now." He said carefully. For he truly didn't want to leave his wife again, but he couldn't leave Itsuki either.

 

"He can stay! I can share you! Just please, don't leave me again."

 

The human man gave a questioning look to his demonic lover, who gave a small smile and a nod. "I'll stay Amani, just for you."

 

"One thing dad." Kagome cut in. "No more trying to unleash Makai onto us... Then again, the barrier's no longer up." That had her receiving two confused and unbelieving looks. So she then went into the story what had happened to the barrier. How there had been a war, and Raizen's heir had thought of a tournament instead. Whoever won was named King of all Demon World. She also told them that the western lord won. Mukuro now had an heir. Yomi's son was dead, a kitsune taking the place of heir. But then admitted to the fact the kitsune did not wish to be heir.

Sitting out under the stars, Kagome allowed the wind to swirl around her. Cooling her to the point of needing a jacket. Many thoughts raced through her mind as she watched the brilliant specks of light flicker. What would happen now that her father was home? Where was she going to live, when she had no job? What would happen between Yusuke and her? Could she ever have a normal life? Her eyes were currently conflicting. Both colors trying to overtake the other. Blue and gray fought for dominance as her mind fought for answers.

 

Her mind was brought back to the present as she heard someone approaching. Muscles tensed, as she prepared for anything. Shifting her power, she allowed her sense of smell to increase. Danger, power, and a purely masculine scent approached. It smelled of rainstorms on dark nights. Recognizing the scent, she instantly relaxed. Two strong arms wrapped around her midsection, and she leaned back with a warm smile.

 

Amber eyes seemed to glow in the moonlight as she looked into them. His eyes held knowledge, something she'd not noticed before. Now that she looked at his aura, she also felt a tinge of youki. There was a massive amount of reiki, but she could see the youki. Pulling her senses into it, she felt it. The demonic energy was massive, and all his own. It appeared that Yusuke had some demon blood in him. "You know, I missed you Kagome."

 

A slight sigh escaped from her lips as she allowed her head to rest against his strong chest. "And I missed you." Her eyes slid slowly shut as she relaxed into him further. "It feels like it's been forever since I last saw you." A small smile was on her face as she thought about her words.

 

"Now, you said something earlier about moving out. Why?"

 

The question surprised her, but she quickly calmed herself and relaxed again. "I want to get out of here. Especially now that my father's back."

 

"You can move in with me if you want." That statement had Kagome turning in his embrace and blushing slightly. Realizing how what he said sounded, he gave a nervous chuckle while waving his hands in the air. "I didn't mean anything like that. I just meant that I have an apartment. It's new and four bedroom... so there's plenty of room for you."

 

Jumping onto him, he landed on his back with her on top. Her lips pressed against his own as she thanked him. "Thank-you Yusuke! When can I move in?" Her eyes sparkled a brilliant blue in happiness.

 

The shade they were reminded the ex-detective of someone else he had known, but he couldn't think of who. In truth, he didn't really care. All that mattered to him was that he had made her happy. "Tomorrow if you want." She gave a squeal and once again attacked him with a kiss.

Power surged around a being, as he tried to keep it masked. No one knew about him yet, because he had managed to keep a very low profile. He had spent the last five hundred years increasing his power. Had even gone to great lengths to make sure he had the most power. To make sure he surpassed his father. After one hundred years, he had completed that task. His next target, making himself more powerful than the western lord. He had also accomplished that task after two hundred years.

 

The next two hundred years was spent building a power that could rival King Enma's. He had barely managed it, but he was ready. His power was at it's max. Finally, he would be able to take over the three realms. He was ready. Not even if all of the old protectors and the new ones faced him, would they win. No one was powerful enough to stop him. The great priestess of legend might be powerful enough to sever the worlds, but her power was a different kind.

 

Also, she had Enma's help. Only if she were truly as powerful as the legend had said, could she take him on. But he knew she was not. The great priestess was weak. The Goddess of Four Souls was nothing. A mere woman who was regarded higher than she should be. It was only a wish that her power was more than it was thought to be. A malicious smile appeared on the man's face. It was time. The worlds would be his. And so too would the great priestess.

A handsome kitsune with auburn hair traveled through the southern lands. Power bubbled beneath the skin as a wicked smile crossed his face. In his hands was a wondrous treasure. Well, not really. It was only something he had stolen from Lord Yomi. A trinket that made him a lord actually. The goat demon couldn't even hear his approach as he took the pendant. He was trained rigorously in the art of stealth. Something that all kitsune should know.

 

Moving faster, he disappeared into the central lands. A chuckle escaped his lips as he looked behind him. Still he could hear Yomi's men yelling for him. Like telling him to stop and get back here would actually work. Ridiculous. He'd have to be a complete moron to do that. Changing course slightly, he headed for the Ningenkai. He missed his mother, and it was time to pay her a visit. A mew of agreement, signaled that the well known neko had joined him.

 

He remembered what his mother had told him. How she had a boyfriend that she wanted to get back to. Perhaps he'd get to meet this boyfriend. Of course, he'd have to call her by name if he did. Might be odd for a full grown man to call a young woman his mother. At least he'd get to see her though. Perhaps he could even talk her into coming home with him. That would really be wonderful. But he doubted that he'd be able to.

An ill wind was felt blowing in the western lands. The lord and the prince both stopped what they were doing when they felt it. A familiarity to the power had them thinking. Both looked at the other as one name crossed their minds: Naraku. They then sat down to discuss these implications and if it indeed could be the bastard half-demon. So both full demons continued to talk on what had occurred.

 

Yes, Inuyasha was now full demon. His best friend had used her powers to change him, without him losing his humanity. He was exactly as he was when he was hanyou, only he now had full demonic blood. Though he could adopt his human appearance. It was a change for when he went into the Ningenkai.

 

The demon lord Sesshoumaru retained his appearance, just as he was centuries ago. Though he was now more powerful. A being on equal terms with the gods. Only one being surpassed him, and it was one being whom he respected. Said being had restored his arm to him. Also, they were very kind hearted. He'd admit it, the great priestess was a more powerful being than he was.
