The made their way down to the dark stairs kagome releasing Inutaisho's mist form to search around just in case "There's a lot of them that's for damn sure..."

"Vampires?" she shook her head

"Livestock" the others made it down to see all of them

"Let's keep going" Kagome immediately followed Mitsuba, the others hesitated before following

"Why won't they escape?" kagome sighed

"Tell me Kimizuki...What is the earth crawling with aside form vampires?"

"Horsemen of john"

"And what do the horsemen hunt?"

His eyes widened in realisation "Humans"

"Exactly, the vampires will release a horsemen near a settlement and then kill it, saying that because their lives were saved they should now offer their blood in exchange...It's disgusting"

Kagome was at the back rounding them when a small tug at her cloak caught her attention.

A little girl no more than 5 with bright purple eyes and dark brown hair peered up at her, she knelt down

"Are you kagome-sama?" her eyes widened

"How do you know my name?"

"My okaa-san and otou-san told me about you...Before...Before they died..." Kagome's eyes widened as she took in the girls features.

"Your Miroku and Sango's little girl? The one they said whose birthday it was?" the girl nodded tentatively lowering her eyes which widened when she was drawn into a warming hug.

"Forgive me...I couldn't save them...It was all my fault..." the little girls eyes widened further before she too cried.

"It's okay...I know okaa-san and otou-san tried their best...They died hon...hon...Hon-or-ably..." kagome giggled

"If I manage too I will grab you along the way okay?"

"Mm 'kay" she patted her head before jogging to catch up to her companions

She found them just as Yu rescued Mitsuba "Uwah! Shinoa-san do you think..." the smirking girl nodded a laugh spilling from her lips as they made a heart with their hands

"It's love!" their unison scared the other men a little but they shook it off. They turned their attention to battle and kagomes eyes widened when Yu sliced right through the blade and the vampire.

"Kagome-san did you?"

"No...I never taught yu the strength required for that kind of swing...He was too young...I told him about it and what was needed...But never did I actually teach him it" the pride she showed was overwhelming as she ran to yu drawing him into a big bear hug.

"Momma's so proud of my little Yu! I never knew you could do that!"

"Well I remember you telling me about it...I've practiced a few times but it just felt right this time..." he panicked when he saw her eyes water.

"Stop growing Yu! You're growing too fast...and in height too! What happened to my little Yu who used to call me Kaa-chan!" she wept into Shinoa's shoulder who just laughed.

"He is guren's favourite student after all!"

Kagome brought the embarrassed boy to her chest protectively "I'm not letting that perverted weirdo anywhere near my yu anymore! Yu! Do you know what he told me about you!"
