-Years later-

An older Midoriko was fighting off many demons."Foul demons!," Midoriko screamed shooting off many sacred arrows.She panted.Her spiritual powers were making her exhausted.This battle had been going on for days.She reached into her heart and pulled out the Shikon No Tama.Then everything that needed to happen happened.

-500 years later-

A woman's screams were heard,followed by the cries of an infant.Midoriko lay panting in a hospital.A man stood next to her holding an infant.Midoriko looked over at the man.He had short black hair and brown eyes."Soichiro,tell me the gender.,"Midoriko said tiredly."It's a girl.What shall we name her?,"Soichiro asked."You should name her.We both know that I go back to Yukitana after this.," Midoriko said."I don't care.I want you to name her.,"Soichiro said.The priestess/goddess sighed."Her name shall be Kagome.,"Midoriko said. Soichiro smiled."Higurashi Kagome.,"Soichiro said.Midoriko smiled.She was glad that her daughter was in safe hands.

-8 years later-

A woman with short black hair and brown eyes sat and watched 2 children play.There was a young girl with shoulder length black hair and brown eyes.Higurashi Kagome.There was a young boy with short black hair and brown eyes."Souta!Come on!Mom's waiting with cookies!,"Kagome screamed to her year younger brother.Souta smiled and ran after her to get cookies from their mother.Sora sighed.She had been told of Midoriko.She was waiting for her to come.Soichiro said that today would be the day.Midoriko was walking up the shrine stairs.She heard children's laughter.She reached the top and saw Sora giving Souta and Kagome cookies.Mirdoriko walked over.A gentle smile on her face.She was proud to see Kagome so happy.She suddenly grew sad as she remembered she was about to take that happiness away.Sora looked at Midoriko and put on a clueless face."Hello.Who are you?,"Sora asked politely.She was supposed to act stupid.Midoriko would have to compliment her later on her acting."Hello.I am Soichiro's sister,Higurashi Midoriko.,"Midoriko said."Hello,Midoriko.I am Higurashi Sora,Soichiro's wife.These are my children.Higurashi Kagome and Higurashi Souta.,"Sora said smiling.The young Higurashi children looked up at Midoriko."I'm Kagome and I'm 8 years old!,"Kagome exclaimed."I'm Souta and I'm 7 years old.,"Souta said."I am your Aunt Midoriko.,"Midoriko said.The children smiled.

-Later that night-

The kids had been put to bed.Midoriko,Soichiro,and Sora were sitting in the living sipping tea."So,where is the Slayer family that is watching the jewel?,"Soichiro asked."Well,the family cannot be here until tomorrow since it will be Saturday.,"Midoriko said with a soft sigh."Aren't they the last of the Slayers?,"Sora asked."Yes.I must compliment on your knowledge.I believe you will be a good role model for Kagome.Please,help her through her feelings of protecting the jewel.,"Midoriko said."Of course.Midoriko-sama if you need anything at all just tell me.,"Sora said smiling at her."Thank you.You do know that tomorrow Kagome will finally know that you are not her biological mother?,"Midoriko asked."I knew that time would come.I've been ready for it since I first found out.,"Sora said."Well,we don't have more spare rooms so you and Sora are going to sleep in our room and I am going to sleep on the couch.,"Soichiro said.They went to bed.
