Last time:
Sango blinked and chuckled. "Kagome-chan! You've got tenshi watching over you!" She said and Kagome grinned.

"Hai! GUARDIAN tenshi!!" Kagome squealed and danced around as she walked, laughing. Sango chuckled behind her hand and watched the hyper girl.

Shippo and Rin looked at Kagome with avid interest. "Rin-chan, Okaasan's weird today."

"Rin thinks so too, Kagome-chan is very..." Rin searched for a good word. "...move-y?"

"Okaasan's just happy, Rin-chan." Shippo said and Rin blinked at him. Shippo went on to explain. "When she's really happy, like now, it makes her very energetic and hyper. She moves around alot and acts like we would after candy. There is alot of pure energy in this land, and its probebly messing with her mind."

"Oh."

Chapter 7:

Soramiru watched the girl as she danced about happily, under the watchful eyes of Youko, Kuronue, and Sesshoumaru. She seemed to be very attatched to all three, though she was apparently a little mad at Sesshoumaru, sending him angry glares every so often. It had no effect, however, since the anger would soften to something close to affection and she would immediately giggle. She liked to jump onto Kuronue's back, pulling at his larger ears or wings. She loved to play with Youko's ears and tail, and probebly loved Sesshoumaru's fluffy mass of fur as well. She stopped tugging at Youko's ears and looked at him. He smiled softly from his seat on the cart.

"Ano...Soramiru-san? What kinda youkai...tenshi...whatever...are you?" She asked from her current position on Youko's back, a hand still on one of his ears. Youko chuckled at her question and Soramiru fully smiled, showing his canines-which were slightly larger than any of the demons around here.

"Sesshoumaru-sama calling me a hybrid was correct, I am a mix of several species. My mother was a messenger, frost cat hybrid. My father was a Daiyoukai serving under the Taiyoukai of the East. He was a panther, crow hybrid. How HE came about, I have no clue, seeing as Panthers tend to EAT Crows." Soramiru said, grinning and swaying his tails back and forth. He watched as Kagome reacted by blinking at him.

"So...in a way...You're like related to Kitaji, Kirara, and Kintaro?" She asked, Kintaro making themselves known by jumping from Kirara and onto Youko's head, sitting inbetween his ears. Kin was smirking, eyes glowing yellow, and Taro was looking down appologetically at Youko, eyes taking on a blue-green tint.

"You could say that, in a way, for Kitaji and Kintaro, but Kirara is a fire cat, and I am not related to that species." He said and watched as Kintaro turned around, Kin's tail in Youko's face while Taro's around his ear. "Looks like your little messenger wants attention, you probebly spend more time with the males than with him."

Kagome blushed and grinned at Kintaro. "Quit messing around with Youko, he has to see you know. I'll play with you." She cooed at the ferret-like thing. Kintaro made a strange echoed meep noise and jumped onto the ground, transforming and letting Kagome climb on. Rin and Shippo squealed and joined her. Rin sat on Taro's neck and Shippo sat between Kin's ears. Each were scratching vigorously, pleasing the messenger greatly. Kagome laughed and layed down on the elongated back.

"Silly." She said and yawned. They left the pure area and she now felt exhausted. She rolled over on her back, squirmed inbetween Kintaro's shoulder blades, and set her head slightly between their necks, and slept. Youko walked over to the cart, grabbed her blanket from one of the backpacks, and threw the soft fabric over her body, tucking it around her carefully. Kuronue snickered at his actions.

"Mou...Youko's got a new playmate and wont be able to play with me anymore!" Kuronue said, grinning as Youko smacked him upside the head. Miroku chose this moment to wake.

"Eh?" He said, looking up at the hybrid sitting on the cart next to him. "Who're you?" He mumbled, still half unconcious and Soramiru chuckled.

"A friend of your miko, put those sutras away, boy." He told the monk, who did as told and sat up, grumbling about a headache. Slowly the monk sat up, holding his head. He turned to look at Sango, who was currently getting off Kirara to walk beside AhUn. Miroku smirked and just HAD to open his mouth.

"Ah, Sango, you're lovely bottom has given me renewed energy! Come, my dear, let us burn off some of this unneeded energy!" Miroku said, theatrically.

"HENTAI!!!" Sango yelled, throwing a rock at him. Thus Miroku gained a rather large bruise on his left shoulder, highly amusing various Tenshi in the area that followed Kagome, including Soramiru.

Kagome, still sleeping, was unaware of the going ons of her friends, and would later on ask Miroku of his bruise. At the time Youko would tell Kagome: "Your friends are perverted and violent."

¸.·´¯`·»¸.·´¯`·» Later that Day «·´¯`·.¸«·´¯`·.¸

The silence was unnatural, unwanted, as the group entered an open field. Kagome, awake and sitting ontop of Kintaro, narrowed her eyes. There it was, a faint glimmer of purple with the small pink center. It called to her and she scowled, knowing that it wasn't tainted at the moment.

"Theres an untainted jewel shard ahead, guys!" She called out, looking directly at InuYasha, much to Youko's annoyance. She then looked to Sesshoumaru, Kuronue, Soramiru, then lastly Youko.

As her eyes fell upon Youko they took on a warm glow and she smiled, straightening and pulling out her rose. He chuckled and did the same. They then turned to the jewel shard, Kagome noticed it was becoming larger.

"Whatever it is, it's coming towards us!" She said and they stood ready for battle. Kitaji and Kirara stood side by side in their larger forms, watching for any movement. Sesshoumaru, not one for sight, closed his eyes and sniffed the air, almost femininly.

There it was, that disgusting scent of both human and demon that radiated off the jewel shard, just behind the treeline. He opened his eyes and sent his whip flying into the shard's direction, only to hear a scream of pain right afterward. Shippo and Rin, on Kitaji at the moment, winced at the sound. It was a horrible sound like no other! Screaching as if the creature was scared and in pain, a small ugly blob of a youkai came out of the forest. It was a bog unicorn, hairless and plump, it looked more like a hippo than a horse. It had a slash across one of its eyes and down its neck and chest.

Slowly two black unicorn, forest unicorn that looked like horses with golden horns with a couple sleek zebra-like tails on each of them. They stood, with their golden eyes on the bog unicorn, and waited. Their golden hooves dug at the ground from time to time, as if they were ningen tapping their feet. They let out strange sounds, not quite a whinny of a horse, but something deeper, stronger.

One white unicorn, leading the two black, stood proud. It looked much like a dear, sleek and elegant, graceful and beautiful. It's head was thinner and smaller than a horse's, yet longer than a deers. It's ears were large, reminding Kagome of a cat. Its mane flowed down, almost to the creature's knees, causing Kagome to think of Youko, Sesshoumaru, and InuYasha. It's horn was silver and twisted, looking like a goat horn, only it curved right over the kirin's head and pointed out over it's muzzle. It's tail was long, brushing the ground yet not tangling itself or getting anything caught in it. It's hooves were silver, like it's horn, and glinted as it made its way to the bog unicorn, the two black unicorns following.

Upon reaching the pitiful creature the white unicorn turned to look at the groop with it's red eyes. It looked almost startled but soon calmed. "Ah, cousin, what a surprise! How wonderful of you to be here today. I am sorry for the one of bog's rudeness, you know how they are to the beautiful." The white unicorn voiced and with a slight whirl of light a man stood before everyone. He was Sesshoumaru's height, and had the same hair and skin coloring. His face was longer than Sesshoumaru's, and his eyes were a deep shade of red. The horn was now just a small silver diamond on the youkai's forehead and black marked his eyelids, but sliped all the way over to his ears. His clothes were also like Sesshoumaru's, only black with silver designs with a dark red sash.

Sesshoumaru nodded to the kirin. "He has something this woman needs." Sesshoumaru said simply and extended a hand to Kagome, who tentively stepped up and grasped it. "She will have it, Leung."

Leung nodded and smiled at the little miko. "If she can take it from him, it is hers."

Kagome stepped forward and called forth her Tessen rose. She walked towards the bog unicorn, bowing to it and smiled lightly. "I will put you to rest if you so desire. Please, tell me your name?" She asked and Leung blinked, shocked. No one treated those of the bog with respect.

"I...Have no name..." He rasped out, his one good eye staring at her in fear. "I...do not...want to die..." The poor creature murmured, his deep voice fading from lack of use.

"Then you shall not die. I will heal you, but I must have the jewel shard, it will only do you harm." She said and carefully took the shard from the wound in the creatures chest before she began to heal him slowly.

Soramiru watched Kagome in awe, she was so kind she had even tamed a bog unicorn. It would never leave her side now. It would follow her to the depths of hell, if need be. He watched as the bog unicorn's green eye followed her with a kindness it had probebly only shown to others of it's kind. After she was done the bog unicorn stood, it's pudgy form wobbling a bit before he nudged her hand like a faithful dog wanting a petting. Kagome giggled and scratched his nose, only for him to open up. Kagome looked confused for a moment but then ran her hand over the large tounge. A purr came from the bog unicorn's throat and Kagome laughed.(Explanation below!!)

Leung watched with awe in his eyes, walking over to Kagome. "He is yours now, whether you like it or not. How my cousin found such a rare woman and not I is a mystery! So, tell me, what is your name?"

"Kagome, Leung-sama, and Sesshou-kun actually met me in battle. Trying to kill InuYasha and all that, you know. Almost killed me a few times until Youko-kun came along, then Sesshou-kun joined wanting to 'observe' me. Youko-kun marked me with a courting mark and almost immediately Sesshou-kun did as well. I, myself, think that Rin bugged him into coming to spend time with me at first, I did save her from Naraku." Kagome said, smiling as she stopped petting the bog unicorn. "Now lets see, what would be a good name for you, sweety?" She asked the bog creature, leaning over and looking into its green eyes.

"Fuchui. That's a wonderful name. You did carelessly try to attack us, you know, and you have to learn not to run at things so carelessly. So, sweety, you are Fuchui." She said and hugged the offensive looking beast. "Awww you're so cute! Come on, you can meet my babies!"

And so they gained a blob of a bog unicorn named Fuchui, who ended up having to ride on the cart with the children due to his slow pace, Leung, Lord of the Southern Lands, and the twin unicorns, Kage and Kibou. Leung was cold, like Sesshoumaru, but at least enjoyed talking to people. Kage and Kibou were wild, laughing and playing with Kagome and the children as much as possible.

It was time for celebration, they had the last shard, other than the Shikon no kakkera Naraku held, and they were all in a good mood.

That night Kagome gained four more suitors, while she was drunk no less. InuYasha, Leung, Kage, and Kibou all decided they wanted her hand. Now Kagome held Kage and Kibou's marks on her right arm, Leung and InuYasha's on her left.

¸.·´¯`·»¸.·´¯`·» The next Morning «·´¯`·.¸«·´¯`·.¸

Kagome awoke with a large headache and pains on her arms, upon looking to see she recognized the marks. "YOUKO!!!! SESSHOUMARU!!!!!!"

love your story and update soon please

BlacksSilver rose
-------------------

Thank you, lol don't be worried about sounding preppy, I usually do yet...I'm
not...hate preps really but doesn't most people? Anyway, ask any question you
want, it's your right to ask and it helps keeps me interested in my stories! For your
question, no it's not a double pairing. I will tell you that Kagome is going to get
more...ahem...stalkers...Also, she will eventually choose a male, whether it be
Sesshoumaru, Youko, InuYasha, or even an Original Character!

I just can't see Kagome with more than one man, and her having sex is even
really harder to imagine because of her shyness.
