Burden

At that moment the curtains fluttered once more as a female voice spoke, “I would not be able to carry the burden of guilt had I not at least allowed your mother to come to your mating ceremonies.”

Kagome jumped up from her mother and threw her arms around the witch that had cursed their kingdom with a soft thank you whispered from her lips.

The witch pulled back and gave them a soft smile, “You are welcome, you both have done well in finding your soul mates and I am very proud of you both. Kagome, as soon as Sesshomaru places his mating mark on you the curse will be lifted from the kingdom. Time will once more move and new children will once more be born. However, I must warn you that the ageing spell will wear off and everyone will once more age except for the royal family. That is a gift that I bestow to you both on this day.”

Kagome perked up as she asked timidly, “Could you keep that gift on Sango and bestow it to her soul mate as well?”

The witch smiled gently with a nod, “Bring them both here and I will grant you this request Kagome.”

Kagome quickly sent one of the maids to find Sango and Miroku. They did not have to wait long before they arrived. Everything was quickly explained and the gift given.

Touga entered the room to see all of them there, “Are you two almost ready it is just about time?”

Kikyo and Kagome nodded that they were almost ready. Touga nodded his head and escorted their mother down to where the ceremonies were to take place then returned to gather the girls since he was giving them away.
