"talking"
'thinking'

"Let me see if I get this," Kagome said holding her head, "Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru, basically they kissed and made nice?"

Cough, cough, "well, that is one way to put it. I guess yes." Myogua told her.
"Alright..and because they make nice Inuyasha helped Sesshoumaru out a lot?"
"Yes," Jaken agreed.

"Because he help Sesshoumaru out a lot," Kagome said getting up to walk around, "Sesshoumaru gave Inuyasha the job of being this Taiyoukai of the Americas?"

"Well in simplest terms, yes...you see Seesshoumaru wanted ones he could trust as top regional leaders at the council. He made Inuyasha Taiyoukai of the Americas: that includes Greenland, Canada, North and South Americas. Souran, of the panther tribe, was named Taiyoukai of the Central nations: the European nations, the Middle East, and Africa. Of course Sesshoumaru is head council leader as well as Taiyoukai of the Eastern nations: Japan, China, Asia, Russia, and Australia." Myogua explained.

"So no one cared that Inuyasha was a hanyou when Sesshoumaru named him regional Taiyoukai?" Kagome inquired.

"Not for the most part, hanyou numbers were almost equal with pure youkai's by that time and they were not the out cast they once were." Myogua explained.

"Besides Inuyasha-sama's defeat of Naraku and his other conquests proved that he was not weak and of course by this time he had become known as a great giver of aid. Always given in your remembrance my lady." Jaken informed.

"In my remembrance?" she gasped.
"Well yes, he always said it is what you would have wanted him to do." Jaken said.
"I'm glad he still helped folks." Kagome sighed, 'Inuyasha, hmmm?' "Wait a minute, earlier you said he and our pack went to Sesshoumaru's. What pack?"

"Those who hunted the Shikon No Tama with you and Lord Inuyasha of course." Jaken squawked.

"You mean Sesshoumaru allowed Miroku and Sango to live with them? Whatever happened to them anyway? Did they marry and have kids? When did they pass?" Kagome asked, 'it must have been really hard on Inuyasha to loose them.'

"What do you mean when did they pass? Pass to where? Jaken asked looking strangely at Kagome trying to understand what she meant.

Kagome huffed, 'why did Inuyasha have to send Jaken?' "You know when did they die?"
"Die? Their not dead, you think Lord Inuyasha would allow them to die?" Jaken huffed back, "I think not!" He informed her.
"Hh ho, how is that..poss, possible? There humans!" Kagome stammered.

"Allow me to explain Lady Kagome," Myogua broke in, "I was there for most of it anyway."

Settling down Myogua began, "after your loss, Lord Inuyasha was in quit a bad way, if it had not been for Kaeda's care, along with the rest of your friends, I don't know if he would have came out of his youkai madness."
"Youkai madness? What is that?" Kagome asked.

Sweating slightly Myogua and Jaken eyed one another.

Reaching down and grabbing Myogua between her thumb and index finger, as she had seen Inuyasha do many times in the past, Kagome brought him to eye level. "I'm listening."

"Well...in simplest terms he was suffering from what you humans call depression." Myogua gently told her.

Releasing the flea Kagome sat on the coffee table. "Depression?" She asked breathlessly. 'Poor Inuyasha, was that my fault?'

Myogua and Jaken eyed one another again, well it wasn't really a lie just not the whole truth.

Reaching out and touching her shoulder Jaken told her, "it's alright my lady, Lord Sesshoumaru provided aid to his brother."
"He did?" She asked turning to look at the toad imp.
"Of course, he had proved he deserved help." Jaken happily assured her.

"Anyway," Myogua said drawing Kagome's attention back to him, "Inuyasha did learn to deal with it but, a couple of years later Kaeda died quietly in her sleep. This of course hit Master Inuyasha with the fear that he would loose Miroku and Sango as well and he refused to loose another human companion to as he said 'their own weakness.' " Myogua went on.

"Now that's Inuyasha..but, how could he keep them alive?" Kagome asked.
"Well he found a hanyou wizard who made a talisment from Inuyasha's blood that tied the wearer to his youkai life span so as long as he lives so do they. Hence why Miroku and Sango still live." Myogua finished his tale.

"Wow...so did they marry and have kids? Did Inuyasha make talisments for them as well?"
"Yes, they married and had a couple of sons but, their sons did not make it to this time. You see the talisment keeps the wearer from aging and protects against illness but, injury that take the life cannot be stopped by the talisment." Myogua explained.

"Poor Miroku and Sango, to loose their children." Kagome laid her hand to her heart, thinking of her friends loss.

"Yes, it was hard but, they held onto the hope of seeing you again Lady Kagome and they knew Inuyasha needed them." Myogua replied trying to cover a yawn.

From the door way Mrs. Higurashi had been listening, "well, it seems like all your friends are safe and sound Kagome. Jii-chan and Souta both came in long ago and dinner is almost done. Please Jaken-sama and Myogua-sama do us the honor of staying for dinner."

"We would be honored Mrs. Higurashi but, please no honorifics just Jaken and Myogua, we are simple servants." Jaken replied witha bow. "Lady Kagome, when our Lord calls us tomorrow we will come to take you to him at Lord Sesshoumaru and Lady Rin's estate."

"Where will you both be after you leave here?" Mrs. Higurashi asked.
"Oh we watch the shrine, we will be outside of the shrine grounds keeping watch." Myogua replied.
"Kami no, I insist you spend the night. You may stay in here this evening." Mrs. Higurashi invited them insistently.
"Why thank you Mrs. Higurashi, it would be greatly appreciated." Myogua and Jaken bowed in thanks as they went to dinner with the Higurashi family.

'They're alive....thank kami,' Kagome could hardly believe all Jaken and Myogua had told her. 'Soon Inuyasha.' "This should be a very interesting dinner." Kagome said as she entered the kitchen.
