Kagome felt the touch of a hand cupping her cheek and her eyes snapped open as she was pulled from the unconscious state she'd been n mere moments ago. She kicked her foot out and knocked back the boy in front of her. Standing, she dusted herself off and glared heatedly at the boy as he pushed himself to his feet and looked back at her. Her raven hair flowed before her eyes freely and made known that she no longer wore her mask.

'Glad you decided to wake up.'

'Tch...glad you thought about waking me up.'

'I considered it, but what kind of weapon would I be if I didn't let you learn from your own mistakes?'

'A helpful one?'

'...perhaps.'

Kagome rolled her eyes and held her weapon out before her so that the tip of her blade was pointing at the boy before her. "What is your name?"

"...Death the Kid, but please, call me Kid."

'...Death the Kid? Is he perhaps...' she sighed, "you're the Reapers son, yes?"

"I'm surprised that my name has carried so far into the east. Who might you be?"

"...Kagome."

"...ah." He made his way towards her and stopped at the blades sharp point. "I have come with a letter to the Lady Izanami. Will you take me to her?"

"..." she lowered her blade and tossed it up into the air, a glow forming as a man with long flowing white hair appeared beside her, the sword gone from sight. "So what...are you a part time delivery boy?"

"Only when it's out of my fathers way."

The man beside Kagome raised a brow and scoffed, "Considering his chains, that must be quite often."

A frown marred Kid's face, "what are you talking about?"

Kagome wasn't entirely sure what her weapon was going on about either, but ignored both her weapon and Kid all the same. Turning, she started walking away from the two, but Sesshoumaru turned to follow without needing to be told.

"Hey!"

"What is it?" She asked.

"Where are you going, we aren't done here!"

"...oh?" she grinned, "I was under the impression that you had a letter to deliver to Lady Izanami. Let's go." She turned once more and walked off, this time both Sesshoumaru and a flustered Kid following after her.

Izanami smiled soothingly at the image that played in the reflective surface of the water. '...his child...how uncanny. Grim, your son looks just like you before you hid yourself away behind your mask and robe.'

"Should I go and greet your guests?"

"...yes...please, welcome them to my garden, in kind."

Shippou jumped to his four padded paws and ran off, his red fur reflecting silkily against the light of their glorious sun, green eyes playfully taking in his environment.

Awaiting his Lady's guests, he grinned and bowed respectfully once he saw the group in the distance. Only when he could hear them but a few paces away, did he lift his head, and square off his shoulders. "Welcome! To Lady Izanami's Garden. Please, remove your footwear and leave your weapons here. They may wait for you with Sesshoumaru, but only you can meet with the Lady Izanami."

"..." Kagome watched as Kid twirled his guns from their holsters and they flipped away into the forms of two young ladies with identical clothes on. Neither said anything, knowing apparently that the situation was one of importance, they kept whatever their normal comments might have been to themselves. "Follow," Kagome said, moving on ahead of Kid as he slipped his shoes off and left them by his weapons.

"I thought I was the only one allowed to meet with her?"

Kagome raised a brow, "I don't answer to anyone but Lady Izanami, I'm special like that." She left him staring after her before he walked ever so gracefully behind her. The walk to Lady Izanami was quiet as he took in the beauty of her Garden. The flowers that swayed gently with the breeze or the petals and leaves that dances down to the crystal clear waters that surrounded the white stone walkway that led to what looked like a white terrace hovering above the pristine waters. It was nothing like the place his father languished in. No, it was serene, and filled with life and light. He stopped short of the terrace, watching Kagome walk up the steps and kneel down before the woman with long black hair that became lost in the breeze and oceanic blue eyes. Her pale skin like porcelain, nails elongated on elegant hands and extended fingers. A gorgeous set of silk robes fell over her shoulders in layers with one off her shoulders and another around her arms. "Lady Izanami, I bring forth your guest. This delivery boy has come requesting an audience."

A smile graced petite red lips and Izanami ever so gently lifted her head and turned her eyes to the boy. "Kid...do my eyes play tricks on my heart? You look every bit the child of your father...how fares he?"

"...my father is quite well," Kid looked confused, but didn't voice his quandaries of her knowledge of his father. Or how she knew what he looked like without his mask, when even he had never looked upon his fathers true face. "He has sent me with a letter, one that is addressed to you."

She glanced upon his hand that held the missive. Lifting her own, it was weightlessly lifted from between his fingers with a tug of the breeze before floating carelessly into her anxiously awaiting hand.

"...indeed...Izanami...no Mikoto...tell me, Kid...do you know who I am?"

He stared curiously at her, then shook his head. "I do not. I only know of what I hear, and rumors seldom tell the whole truth."

"...I am a Goddess of both Life and Death. I and both a creator and destroyer...I have had many children and each I have watched take on their own rules as deity...and fall from the grace of Kami. I have but one child left...and she stands before you...Kagome no Mikoto...if you will."

Eyes widening as he took in Kagome's form in a whole new light, he stared in wonder at the girl whose head was still bowed.

"She is the reason I am still alive...for only when she has revealed herself ready to take my place, can I be welcomed to the heavenly realm and rest...not only me...the same is to be said for your fussy father."

"I don't mean to be impertinent, but...are you and I talking about the same Reaper? My father isn't the fussy type."

"Oh? Are you so sure, Little Reaper?" She glanced to Kagome and smiled, "raise your head, my child."

Kagome did as told.

Looking down at the letter, she opened it and read curiously the contents. "...interesting..." she laughed under her breath before glancing over the paper and letting her eyes travel over the two kids before her. "Kagome, you are to escort Kid back to the DWMA."

"What!?"

"Sesshoumaru will travel with you as your weapon...and you will attend classes with Kid there. It'll be good for you."

"...your lapdog?!"

A cold glare found Kagome and she shrunk back and bowed her head again.

"Sesshoumaru is one of my weapons, Kagome...and I only use the best. Do not insult him, for he is of the highest skill."

Kagome sighed, "yes...Lady Izanami."

Izanami nodded, "Kid, thank you for delivering this letter. You and your weapons will stay tonight and rest, tomorrow, you shall return home. That too...is an order." She added the last part as he made to argue her invitation. Dismissing both kids, she looked back down at the letter with a secretive smile playing on her lips. Neither knew what to make of it, but neither did they want to say anything to upset the Goddess.

No, some things could be learned in time, and they were both quick to learn to hold their tongues and simply do as told.
