Unconditional Things

-
Monday. It was a Monday of that she was sure. But she was starting to wonder if she was in some alternate Monday. It wouldn't be so far fetched. She was in a different time, why couldn't she be in some weird alternate day of the week?

Kagome blinked in mild confusion. It was already weird enough that Kikyo was now traveling with them, even stranger that Kouga and his now Mate was with them as well. Kagome was kinda glad of that development.

But this was sorta the icing on the cake, a weird alternate cake and not the good kind with all the icing and sprinkles.

She cocked her head to the side as if that would give her better clarity; it wouldn't. Seeing him here and not mocking his brother was strange — him wanting to join them, even more, impressive but not alternate universe crazy. No, what made this Monday downright confusing to her was the female demon standing next to Sesshomaru. She could rival his cold stare and stop any male in his tracks. Sesshomaru wanted to join their pack, and he wanted to bring this female with him.

"You courting her or something because if you tell me, we have a sister I'm gonna be pissed,"

Of course, leave it to Inuyasha to blow it off as nothing more than a speed bump in his day. The thought that this might be a sister never even crossed her mind, but somehow, she knew this woman was no sister. She was a lover, and Kagome was using the word lover lightly and never out loud.

"Surely you are not that foolish Inuyasha, this woman is not our kind," Sesshomaru stated.

"Oh then a-" Sango covered Mirokus mouth, and Kagome knew that Sango was thinking the same thing as her. Note to self, never called the woman a lover out loud.

"Have some decorum would you," Sango snapped,

"The Monk lacks such," Sesshomaru looked at the female next to him. She crossed her arms and nodded slightly. She was tall, sharp-faced like Sesshomaru, red makings around her eyes, and eyelids. Black hair that she wore half up and half down and a jeweled hairpiece that looked like a small crown and Kagome wondered if she were some kind of royalty. It would make sense seeing as how Sesshomaru was a prince or Lord as so many people referred.

"How Interesting," The female spoke, and she seemed to size them all up. "A curious group indeed my Lord," Then she began to walk up.

Kagome bit her lip slightly as the woman drew closer to her.

"You are the Shikon Miko are you not?"

"Uh," Kagome didn't like the title, but she respected it none the less due to its maker.

"What's it to you?" Inuyasha snapped,

Before the woman or Sesshomaru could retort back, Kikyo spoke "She simply brought it back to were it does not belong,"

"You must be Kikyo," The demoness spoke, and Kagome didn't miss the slight narrowing of the woman's eyes, and it made her wonder what all Sesshomaru had told her.

"You were fooled and died because of Naraku and thought to take the jewel with you, how foolishly noble of you,"

Inuyasha growled, but the women ignored him and looked back at Kagome "You are the bearer of things not of your own doing but the lack of judgment of others,"

"Um," Kagome wasn't sure if that was a compliment.

"She is my reincarnation," Kikyo said cold seemingly insulted.

The female laughed "Surely you jest, has not my Lord already corrected you once in this?"

Kagome glanced at Sesshomaru, that was news to her.

"Be not fooled Miko; you are not here because of her fault," The woman stated boldly.

Kagome tilted her head,

"The creator of that jewel had a plan, though it did not go quite as planned you are no reincarnation,"

"Then?" Miroku asked when Sango let go of his mouth.

"She was simply chosen,"

Kagome didn't feel chosen.

"I descendant of the jewels creator,"

That sounded better than being Kikyo's reincarnation. But it still did not make her feel any better. Kagome sighed but quickly found her chin being brought up, and her eyes met the females.

"Yes, I know it is true,"

"What's true?" Could this demon read minds?

"I understand now,"

"Understand?" Kagome asked, growing confused by the lack of full sentences.

"Why my Lord has given you the name he has,"

Kagome glanced at him again.

"The bearer of unconditional things," She let Kagomes chin go "We shall see Miko,"
