…There's always this connection between a father and his son or daughter…

Chapter 6: Himiko

After the gang except Miroku witnessed the betrayal of Kagome who had gone with their arch nemesis, Naraku, and became his ally, all of them returned to the village with a heavy heart, especially Inuyasha. He couldn't believe that Kagome would do such a thing to them. But that was just because of him and nobody should be blamed but himself, he thought. That night, most of them could not sleep well thinking of what will happen to the miko as she was with lowbred demon. Sango kept on crying quietly as she lay on the ground beside between Miroku and Kirara. Miroku knew that she was crying even though her back was towards him. She was shaking a bit as she lay on the floor. He was worried that she would not have enough sleep and would tire herself all night long. The demon cat that was sitting beside her was licking her cheek that was off the floor to dry her tears away. Kirara felt bad for her master that she move closer to her to sleep closely beside her in order to comfort her in her grief.

Meanwhile, the revived miko and the Inu hanyo slept beside each other as well. Not literally beside each other but as Kikyo sleep on the blanket on the floor, Inuyasha slept cross seating, his back on the wall, just a foor and a few decimeters near Kikyo. The miko slept well but the hanyo did not. He was closing his eyes but after a few minutes he opens it. He can't stop himself from thinking of the other miko. Every time he would close his eyes and go to sleep, the thought of the other miko's decision of going with Naraku was bugging him. He couldn't accept it. He really can't. He felt guilty for it but not just guilt, hurt as well. There won't be any Kagome to sit him any more when he make mistakes or makes her mad. There won't be any Kagome to always be with him by his side even at the most difficult times. No one will ride on his back anymore anytime they travel. And most of all, her sweet voice won't be heard by any one of them, always cheering and giving them courage to fight. Yup, there won't be any miko named Kagome anymore to be with them…

"Kagome…" Inuyasha whispered as he slowly fell asleep.

As the moon was at the middle of the night sky with its vibrant yellowish glow in the atmosphere, the moon God continued to float on the land searching for her daughter who he might thought be still alive. There was this feeling inside of him that knew and believed that she was still living and just near where he was. So he continued on finding her…

A few Kilometers from where Tsukigomi was, was Naraku's secret territory. It was nearly morning when he and Kagome returned to his place. When they were off the barrier, Kagura and Kanna met them.

"Welcome Lady Kagome." Kanna greeted her with her soft eerie voice.

"Thank you Kanna." Kagome replied pleasantly to the little demon girl. Then she greeted Kagura, "It's nice to see you again, Kagura. You seem to be in an unpleasant mood." She said it as she saw Kagura's face like she was worried or angered.

The demon wind Goddess heard the miko and reacted quickly, "Oh no, this is nothing. I was just sleeping when you arrived and so I got irritated cause I couldn't continue my beauty rest." She said it coolly like nothing affected her.

After the greeting, the filthy demon spoke interrupting them. "Enough with the greetings both of you. It's time for us to go inside the palace and let our guest rest."

His two servants agreed and escorted Kagome to the palace. As they walked the miko looked around the place and observed that it was dark. Not just because it was nighttime but that fact that surrounding it were thick mists and a strong evil demonic aura. The place was cold and chilly. It could give you Goosebumps all over. Kagome has that feeling in her that she wanted to go out but can't. She was not frightened nor scared but spooked. The place was almost like a dead land. The soil was dry, the plants were wilted, there were bones of dead animals in a corner, weeds were growing but those that can survive the dry land and there seem to be no room for something pleasant.
