Five years....
Five long years it had been since she had first come into the ancient realm of the Feudal era.
Kagome Taisho, now wedded to Inuyasha Taisho, looked out over the coastline of Japan, sandy beaches with rocky outcroppings dotting the shoreline here and there.
Five years since she had first met the half demon that would become both a full demon and her husband. Since she had met her other friends, Miroku, the monk, Sango, the demon slayer, and Shippou, her adopted Kitsune child.
Two years since the defeat of Naraku, and the completing of the sacred jewel, making it whole once again. Two years since Inuyasha had made his wish upon the sacred jewel to turn himself into a demon.
Their worst fears were not justified. Thanks to the bond between them, Inuyasha did not tear Kagome apart and devour her as some of them had expected to happen if he became a full demon. Rather, he had mated her instead.
One year, since she had borne him a full litter of pups, six in all.
Six months since they had learned that Naraku, for all of his evil powers, was not the reason that Kagome had been returned to the past. The sacred jewel now hung around her neck, it's powers pulsating wildly. The powers of good kept the evil within the jewel checked, but only just barely.
As Kagome now looked, at the present time, off into the distance, at the mists spreading over the Sea of Japan.
She reached an arm out, and found Inuyasha's left arm, hooking her arm around his. He looked down at her, and she looked up at him. He nodded, signaling that the time was approaching.
Kagome turned her head to the left, looking down the line of lords assembled among them. Lord Sesshomaru, of the Western Lands. Lord Kouga, of the Northern Lands. Lord Pantheras, of the Eastern Lands, and Lord Totosai, of the Southern Lands.
Spread out on the beaches below them, were the respective human lords under their domains, countless warlords. Before the warlords stood their troops, tens of thousands of human warriors, filed in neat ranks and rows.
And in front of the humans were the hundreds of demons, the front line soldiers in the battle soon to come.
For the one who truly covets the Sacred Shikon Jewel of four souls, is coming...
Story Notes:
I don't own Inuyasha, nor will I profit from it.
Note: Despite all beginning apperances, this is a Sess/Kagome pairing story.
