Destiny For A Reason

Chapter Five

The sun was rising bringing with it the shouts of women and children as the day began. Kagome and Kaede were already outside in the fields, Kagome was weeding out any grass or unwanted greenage while Kaede was leaning against the post. The night before all four women had a lengthy conversation about the situation at hand. They were going to stay, wait on Miroku and Sango, then find Inuyasha. As much as she longed to see her lost love, she knew there had to be a reason for everything. The jewel had shown up for something, deep down she started to believe she had been meant to eventually come back. She would help and her girls had volunteered also. Even if she wasn't strong enough to destroy this new threat, she'd be able to help those that are in need. Kaede had taught her alot about healing which she remembered most of it.

Inside the hut still, Kimi turned over, and came face to face with her sister's snoring face. Outside she could hear kids playing and adults walking around tending to their daily chores. "What time is it? Ughhhh, the sun is barely up, don't these people ever sleep in, they are wasting good snoozing time." A loud snort caught her attention and she proceeded to poke her sister in the side. "Wake up, theres some guy here asking for you."

Blue eyes instantly snapped open, "Tell him to come back later, I was having the most amazing dream I'll have you know. A few more seconds and I would have become Mrs. Michiko Bloom dammit. It was simply grand, the big church, everyone dressed in white and me standing before my dream guy in all my beautiful glory."

"Then it was a damn dream, theres no way in hell you'd be wearing white. He would have popped that cherry long before the wedding night." Kimi sat up and ran her fingers through her knotted hair. "Wonder where mom went, prolly outside already. Now, we know why mom was always a morning person. Having spent time here, you have to be able to get up with the roosters. I don't think I'm going to make it, my body just doesn't function properly before ten a.m.."

"Speak for yourself, I really need a hot shower and I just know I need to shave my legs. Either that or a porcupine climbed in bed with me last night. I feel soooo awful and sticky." She stretched her arms and yawned.

"Speaking of awful, can we say halitosis, damn girl brush them teeth." Kimi reached over and grabbed her bag, deciding to go bathe. "Mom said there is a spring not far from here I'm going to check it out, wanna come?"

"Of course, and you're one to talk atleast I remembered to bring my Secret. When's the last time you shaved them pits?" She grabbed her own bag and grabbed her wash items. A pair of blue jeans, a blue turtle neck, a pair of socks, and her black boots completed her supplies.

Kami lifted her arms, small stuble winked back at her. "Oh gosh, I do need to shave. I did bring my odie thank you very much. Never go without it."

"Maybe you should, cause I heard mom say that demons have a very strong scent of smell. Atleast that way we wouldn't have to worry about getting attacked." Michiko headed out the door.

"Screw you, I don't smell that bad."

They spotted their mother and the old lady in what looked to be a garden and headed over. "Mom we were hoping we could go bathe, which way is the water?"

She pointed towards the east, "it's that way about five minutes you can't miss it dear. Be sure to stop at that last hut on the right before you head out. There is a swordsmith there, he will give you both something to use as protection. I don't want either of you going out without something for protection at all times understand me?"

"Yes, mom," they said in unison. They spun on their heels and began east.


Twenty minutes later found them at the spring. Both had decided on a katana as their choice of weapon, the metal now layed upon their discarded clothing.

"Sis, what do you think is going to happen once mom is reunited with this Inuyasha guy?" This came from Kimi.

"That's easy, I'm going to stick my boot so far up his ass he's going to have shoelaces for tonsils. Serve him right to after everything he put mom through. God help that Kikyou bitch if I ever run into her. Remember all those stories mom use to tell her when we were kids. I think most of them were spin-offs of her adventures here. The one about her freeing the handsome prince and him rescueing her back. "

"Wasn't there one about a prince falling in love with the lonely servent and him getting jealous when another prince tried to court her. How could that have been based on her adventures," Kimi began to wash her long black hair. "It's obvious who the main prince was in all of mom's stories but then who is this other guy?"

"Beats the shit out of me, don't think it could be Shippo cause mom said he was a little boy, or the monk. I don't recall her mentioning any other names, now that I think of it. He must not have been worth mentioning the way I see it. Didn't she say Inuyasha has a brother or something? Maybe he was the one that had the hots for mom." Mich swam close enough to the shore so she could hold her legs up out the water and began to shave.

"No, cause there was the one where the prince's evil brother tried to kill them. Why would you try to kill someone you wanna bone? Not exactly the way to go to score. Maybe that part was made up. I agree with you though, I might not plant my foot in his ass but he better not be disrespectful or he will be shown some manners. He's a man so I'm sure he is lacking in that department," she swam to sit beside her sister and began to see to her own shaving needs.

"Wonder if I will find me a prince while I'm here. Then I wouldn't have to go back and finish highschool." She turned to Kimi and started to chant. "No more teachers, no more books, no more teacher's dirty looks."

Unlike her sister, Kimi had thrived in school and didn't mind going back. She'd been an honor student, good grades had come naturally to her. Studying had never been a necessity, though Mich had often whined when she studied for hours and still brought home a C. One of them was the brains, the other the beauty, it was always that way. "Come on before I get all pruney."


Kagome had just finished weeding the last row when she sensed a demonic aura coming from the west. "Kaede something is coming."

"Yes, I sense it to child, but no worries it is just Shippo returning."

Just then, a tall demon burst through the woods. He stood a little under six feet, long auburn hair was pulled back into a ponytail, blowing wildly in the wind. "Thats Shippo? He's grown so much, not a child anymore. I've been gone too long I missed him growing up." Tears fell down her cheeks.

The fox scanned the area looking for the old miko and found her standing in the garden with another woman. He squinted his eyes and a smile split his face when he recognized the smell. After all these years, he remembered that scent. "Kagome." He took off into a run.

She caught him squarely in the chest and almost fell over. "Easy, you aren't small anymore, Shippo. It's good to see you again, you have grown so much." She pulled away from him and looked him over. It was true, he'd grown into a teenager, very cute one at that. 'I hope the girls, behave themselves.'

"How long are you staying with us this time? The others will be so glad to see you, they should be here any minute." Just then Kirara landed on the edge of the field depositing Sango and Miroku on the ground.

"Sango," Kagome crossed the few yards that seperated her from the girl she had always considered a sister and hugged her close. "Sango, its so good to see you again."

"You too, my sister, why did you leave us? You left without saying goodbye and I lost my only sister. Please, say you will stay this time, don't leave again." Sango felt an arm go around her waist.

"Now, don't be greedy wife, I too would like to welcome our lost companion." Miroku pulled Kagome into his arms. He held her close thanking Budha for bringing back his friend.

She squeeked when she felt a hand slowly carressing her bottom. A hand met the perverted monk's cheek, "See you haven't changed at all but it's good to see you both again."

Kaede chose this time to speak up, "Come lets head inside there is much to discuss and this old woman's bones are begining to ache."


Michiko was brushing her hair trying to get moist of the moisture out before she began to braid it. Kimi got dressed wearing, a black pair of jeans, a black turtle neck, and matching black sneakers. Mich swore as her arm began to ache, "Sis, do you mind french braiding my hair for me. I figure if its up and out of the way I don't have to worry about some kid yanking on it."

"Sure, just let me get mine up," She pulled hers up in a ponytail high on her head and proceded to braid the other. "Wonder if mom's friends are there yet?"

"Hmm, guess we will find out when we get there. And if they are I hope you are ready to start walking cause mom is going to want to leave. She's as anxious as a virgin on her prom night. Can't blame her, since he is suppose to be her one true love, only understandable she wants to see him again. What I wouldn't give for some man to sweep me off my feet, carrying me off into the sunset."

"Well, in this day and time, you're more likely to be carried off in the night and ass raped."

"HEY! Don't shoot down my dreams, a girl can wish can't she. Not like you've never thought about it. So don't act all innocent with me, girl. Remember who you are talking to, your better half." A tug on her hair was the only reply she got. "Are you done yet, I'm sure mom is starting to worry."

"Yeah, let me tie it off and we can head back."

"Kagome, are you sure you want to do this? It has been years since we've spoken to him." Miroku was sitting beside his wife, "We know he is with Sesshomaru at most times and has became almost as hard as his elder brother."

"Yes, I have to see him again. Besides, my girls wouldn't let me leave unless I did."

"Girls?" Miroku's ears perked up at this news. "You have children, dear Kagome."

"Well, I'm not exactly a child anymore, if I do say so myself," this came from Michiko as she made her way into the small hut. Kimi followed closely behind her.

The monk stood up, reaching for the girl closest to him. She was simply stunning, hair the color of gold, and the face of an angel. He walked up to her side, "It is nice to meet, I'm am Miroku, just a simple monk." His hand started making its way to the girl's lovely backside. His face turned white when he felt what felt like a dagger pricking the skin across his wrist.

A growl was heard, "another inch and your hand will hit the floor." Kimi had been standing behind her sister in time to see the pervert's hand making his way to her ass. "Back off or you will only have one hand to scratch your ass with."

Miroku withdrew his hand quickly thanking Budha he still had one. "They must take after you Kagome. You never welcomed my attentions either."

Kagome chuckled at the monk's expression, "They are very protective of each other, as you can tell."

Shippo couldn't believe that Kagome had children, grown children. Both girls were very pretty, but the one in front caught his attention, she was extraordinary. He'd never seen a human female with those colorings. He caught himself staring and looked away. He tried to listen to what Kagome was saying.

"Yes, they are twins, only a few minutes apart. There is something I need to tell you also. The girls both have half of the Shikon jewel imbedded in their bodies." The others gasped, the girls stood silently back, they had been told of this information last night.
"So, we need to be prepared in case any demons decide to attack."

Thirty minutes later the group which consisted of Kagome, Michiko, Kimi, Sango, Miroku, Shippo, and Kirara slowly started walking towards the west hoping to find Inuyasha.
