The Twist Of Two Fates

"Lord Sesshômaru I have missed you and when I heard about you going into battle I had to see if..." The female that was holding on to Sesshômaru was interrupted in her ranting by a growl and a shove form the male she was holding onto. Before either, one could say anything Kagome came too.



"Uh… what just hit me?" Kagome ask trying to sit up, but due to the impacted of hitting the ground so hard her head was spinning.

 

All she could remember was a bluer came out of nowhere and then waking up on the ground, with the help of Gin and Kouga she was finally sitting up an on her own.



Looking around she could see that everyone was looking at her. "What?" Kagome ask not liking to be the center of attention. "Kagome you head it's bleeding." Gin said pointing to the side her head hit the ground.

 

Looking at him she could feel something sticky sliding slowly down the side of her face.



Moving her hand to the place where it was located and she pulled her hand to see that it was red looking up she smiled and wiped the blood that was on her face.

 

"Don't worry it'll heal in no time." Kagome said trying not to concern anyone because of a scratch.



Sesshômaru came over to see how deep the cut was holding her chin in his hand he pushed the hair away from the cut with his free hand.

 

Getting a clear view of the cut, he could see little beads of red coming from it. "Who cares now Lord Sesshômaru when are we getting mated?" The neko asked the Taiyoukai who was kneeling down by Kagome's side.



"I will not let you mate with him even if he said yes and another thing you should care she is the most powerful female alive she has more power in her pinkie finger then you do in your entire body." Gin said icy his eyes were cold that pined her to where she stood making his silent threat clear to the female.



"Oh so that means I get two for the price of one? How exciting things will be in the futon?" She said with big shiny green eye hands claps under her chin as she was fantasizing of how that threesome will work for her pleasure but it was cut short by one of the youkai lords coming to see what all the fuss was about.



"Miyoku what are you doing here? Did I or did I not tell you, my daughter, to stay back at the western palace?" Hiroshi lord of the northern land asked as he was approaching Miyoku.



"I am truly sorry father but I could not just stay behind to wait for you and my soon-to-be-mate to come back from battle besides he should help me plan the matting celebration not running around to save some whore who got herself taken by some weak hanyô.

 

For we might know she might have gone on her own so she could mate that thing." Miyoku said pointing to Kagome then at InuYasha to emphasize whom she was talking about.



"Besides if she is as strong as you say then she could have handle the beast on her own and all these youkai wouldn't have to be here." Miyoku said to her father but went to look at Sesshômaru then to finally glaring down her nose at Kagome as if she was nothing more than a pest.



The camp was silent not even the forest creatures made a sound when power filled the camp. There was a ‘Slap then a thud’ nobody moved as all eyes were going back and forth form Miyoku who was on the ground to the one person who dared to slap Miyoku.



"I have had enough of this babble you seem to speak. If you wish to keep your head you will hold your tongue and be glad that I am controlling my beast or else you would be dead." Sesshômaru said in his cold emotionless voice his eyes flickering from gold to blood red then gold again.



Everyone who knew Kagome was trying to hold them self’s back to not beat the hell out of Miyoku but it is hard to do that when she dose deserve a pounding for calling Kagome, one of the purest person the kami's created, a whore.



Each word that Miyoku said that was directed at Kagome, the more she went into her shell. The words where like a stab from the rusted blade from an untransformed Tetsaiga at her heart cutting her down to nothing. Looking down Kagome could still see the blood on her skin and on her clothes.



Finding an excuse to distract herself she stood up. Kagome slowly made her way to a spring not that far away from camp. The only one who notices Kagome walking away from camp was Gin while everyone else was looking at Miyoku crying her eyes out to her father about how her cheek hurt.



`9`9`9`9`9`9`9`9`9`9



Coming to the hot spring it was lined with rocks, grass and trees surround the spring to give you privacy. But that did not ease her feeling at taking her clothes off to bath so she just settled with taking a cat bath.



Taking a set at the edge Kagome put her feet in the nice hot water as she ripped a piece of her shirt off so she could wash the blood and dirt off her skin.

 

She started with her chest, which had more blood covering the skin than any other part of her body.



Lost in her dark thoughts Kagome did not hear the footsteps or feel the aura coming up from behind her. "You know it's dangerous to go off on your own especially when we just got you back." Gin said taking a set next to Kagome not caring that she was cleaning herself.



Covering herself back up Kagome looked at Gin her eyes shin with joy then switched to sadness before looking away. "Well I am sorry for having to trouble everyone to come and save me when I could have fought and killed both of them.

 

But I don't care what they would have done to me for I don't have anything to live for my family and my home is long gone." Kagome said while getting the rag wet then went to clean her face.



"Even if I just focus on Shippo and Rin in later years they will find some to be with and then what? I have no purpose to my life if I don't have family." She said her voice cracking at the end giving her fear away of not only being alone but also to be useless.



Once she was able to fight with a sword, hand-to-hand, throwing knife. Kagome promise herself that she will never to be useless like she was when she was pulled down the bone eater's well. She did not want to feel that way always having to wait for one of her friends to come and save her.



Okay she was not that useless yeah she did cook for the group and played nurse when they got injured but they got injured because they were protecting her. When they were fighting she would try a help by shouting an arrow from behind a tree but that did little help.



"But I guess that I should find a purpose." Kagome thought to herself out loud. Wanting to lighten things up Gin wanted to know more about Kagome since they would be seeing a lot of each other they should at least get to know basics of each other but there was one thing that he wanted to know above all else.



"Kagome when we got to the clearing you were human but when you change back the hanyô and that dead human was shocked why was that?" Gin asks looking into Kagome eyes.



"Yes I too would like to know how you became youkai." The voice came from behind them. Looking to see who it was they both saw Sesshômaru was leaning agents one of the surrounding trees.



Kagome's eyes went big when her eyes landed on him his eyes were slightly tinted red knowing what that means and she did not want to be on the resaving end of his anger.



"Well I was human like I said the jewel had changed me but it was only a short time ago when it I did change. When they took me my powers knew they were a threat to me so my powers instinctual put a glamour spell to make me look like I was when I was human. Plus they did not know what I did to destroy the jewel." Kagome said then stopped to think getting up off the ground.



"I should leave you two alone. Good night mi lords." Kagome said with a bow then stood up Kagome turned to where the camp is and took off. Before speaking to one another they waited for Kagome to be out of hearing rang.



"How much did you hear?" Gin ask looking at his mate that was looking in the direction that Kagome left Gin went to his mate and gave him a kiss. "All of it just felt that my presents have been ignored for too long." Sesshômaru said



"When are you going to tell her I hope it's soon because if you don't then she might not live for long and I have not tasted that body yet." Gin said with a little pout as he was looking back at where Sesshômaru was looking too.



"Soon once we are home we, you she and I will talk about it." Sesshômaru said with a smirk on his lips his mate could not get enough of the females not that he was not guilty of sampling a few females but Gin was the lady's man.



Turning his mind to important thing Sesshômaru was thinking about what actions to take that will be in their favor for not having Kagome freak out about what they had to say.

After being yelled and told that they all were to stay in play room. The band of three was there to watch over the kids. All the kids where sitting at one side of the room and the band were sitting on the other side they were just watching each other not making a move until Rin's stomach made its self-known. All eyes look to the little red face girl.



"Rin want sweets." Rin said as she got up to leave the room. She left the others looking at each other than where to Rin left. Getting up they all followed her to the family wing and into one of the rooms.



Before anyone had come Rin had dumped all the contents of the bag onto the floor. She saw a clear bag that was filled with little flat square things thinking that her lord might know what it was Rin put the bag in her kimono when she heard the others coming.



Walking into the room they could see Rin digging, looking through all the contents of the bag looking for some kind of sweet. "Hay girl that isn't yours so put it back and we'll find something for you." Bankotsu said as he went to put the stuff back into the bag.



"But Rin wants sweets Mother always has sweets for Rin in the bag and told Rin it was here for Rin." Rin said as she stomped her foot a folded her arms across her chest. "Yeah she doesn’t need to listen to you. You’re not her boss so leave her alone." Shippo said taking a stance in front of her daring the adults to make a move.



Seeing that not only was she was going to be difficult the other kids would help her do what she wanted. Giving his brothers a look the all grabbed a child and took them to the kitchen so that Misaki could cook up something for them to eat.



After a long day the kids were tired so they all went to the play room and passed out. "Man who would have thought three brats had so much energy. I thought they would have been out around lunch." Rekotsu said trying to stay standing with the wall as support.



"Those things are not human they are Satan’s spawn look at what that little girl did to my precious hair." Jakotsu said form where he sat pointing to his once shoulder length hair now was chopped at weird angles with tangled braids in random places and pink, green, purple, blue bows.



"Well you did agree at having her do your hair I think she improved it" Rekotsu said while dogging a flying doll. "Knock it off you two it is late and I want to sleep" Bankotsu said from his make shift futon of stuffed toy's turning over to the other side.

 

'Kagome pleas come back soon. If you don't I won't be responsible for what will happen to your kids one more day.' Bankotsu thought hoping that he will be relieved of babysitting soon.



`9`9`9`9`9`9`9`9`9`9



It took a while for everyone to calm down but for the safety of Miyoku her father, Hiroshi, took a couple of guards and went a little ways form everyone.

 

Miyoku was not put off by the way Sesshômaru acted 'It was that bitch's fault she put a spell on them to think nothing bad of her. But how do I get them to see that? 'Miyoku sat on a stump at the edge of camp and thought of an answer to her problem.



"Miroku where is Kagome?" Sango ask trying not to draw any attention form the others in the camp. Miroku was cough off guard by her question thinking about it he did not see her at all after he had finally calmed down.



"I'm sure she just went to relieve herself." He said trying to reassure her but Sango was thinking it was more about what that pussy. "See there she is safe and sound." Miroku said finally spotting her coming out from the tree line less bloody than the last time they saw.



"Hay Kagome!” Sango yelled out as she ran up to Kagome with Miroku in tow. They came up to her asking her if she was Okay and that what that cat said meant nothing because she was precious to them all.



Kagome did not register what they were talking about all she could think about was going to sleep so she just walked around the group and sat by the fire laying down Kagome closed her eyes it did not take long for her to be a sleep Kirara came over to Kagome and snuggled up to her.



"We are going to head out early so we all should hit the hay." Taishô said covering Kagome and Kirara with a blanket. Everyone went ahead and went to sleep while some that stayed up for guard duty.



`9`9`9`9`9`9`9`9`9`9



First light came too early for all who was in camp. Kagome got up folded her blanket then went to work on the morning meal for all to eat. The smell of food being cooked woke everyone even those who were in the other camp with Hiroshi and his daughter.



The stew was done Kagome passed the bowls out to with some help everyone had a bowl and was eating one of the guards fed InuYasha, since his hands were tied, and under the orders of Taishô he was to be fed like a pup.



"Hay Kagome how did you sleep last night or did you stay up all night?" Kenji asks before he shoveled another pace of stew into his mouth.

 

Sango's, Miroku's and InuYasha’s shot up when they heard what he said it shock them that he knew something so personal about Kagome. "I slept fine." Kagome said passing more bowls out to the Lords first then down the ranks.



"Kagome you know you did not have to make the morning meal to day." Taishô said while receiving his portion form the girl. "Yeah I know but I wanted to thank you all for all the trouble you had to go throw to get me back." She said not look him in the eye.



"Young one I don't eat human food." One of the lord said lifting up the bowl. "Well there is raw meat if you find that to your liking." Kagome said about to take the bowl away.



"You did not let me finish this meal smelled too great to pass up and I am glad I did not. Where did you learn how to cook like that?" The lord said.



"Thank you for your complement my mother taught me how to cook and because I am going to be on my own she taught me how to cook when I am low on cash." Kagome said looking over everyone was eating so she sat down to eat as will.



"Hum maybe this mother of yours could teach my kitchen staff to cook like this what village dose she reside?" He said with a glee in his eyes at the thought of having meals like this one every day for every meal.



"Yes she would have been happy to know that someone wanted to learn how to cook from her but she like my family is no longer with the living." Kagome then got up to collect the bowl and got ready travel back to the palace. The travel to the palace was quite.



`9`9`9`9`9`9`9`9`9`9



At the palace the it was not so quite Jaken woke up and did not see the kids any were in the room he got up squawking out for the kids as soon as he slid open the shoji Jaken was tackled by three little bodies screaming and yelling about how he was 'it'.



Just as fast as the bodies landed on top of him they were off of him and down the hall. Jaken got up and ran after them only to run into a guard that had a massage from the lord.

 

It said that they got Kagome and they were coming home tears of joy fell from his eyes. "Once Kagome comes back home she will put the pups into place." Jaken said jumping up and down.



Running down the hall Jaken saw Nina. "Girl what are you doing the Lords are coming home tell the others that they will be here by noon" He said then took off to tell the pups the good news.



Finding the pups and the adults in the drawing room the Shippo, Kohaku and Rin were jumping on Rekotsu and Jakotsu. "KAGOME" Was the only thing Jaken yelled and the room went silent everyone looked thinking Kagome was back but was let down to only see Jaken at the shoji.



"She is coming back before noon." Was all Jaken said before he was jumped on by the pups yelled at how happy they were that their mother was safe and coming home. The pups jumped up thinking of something to do for Kagome they each went their own way.



Rin went to the garden to pick flowers to make a crown for Kagome. While Shippo went to the koi pond there were these rear aqua colored stones that would look good on Kagome.



That left Kohaku on his own to think what he could make or get for Kagome he walked pass the garden into the forest that was with in the palace walls. Looking around he couldn't find anything taking a set Kohaku thought of what could protect her from harm.



The answer came from above as it landed into his lap. It was a small ball of smoky gray fur holding the animal up Kohaku could see it was an inu youkai pup.



Checking to see if the puppy hurt it’s-self Kohaku found out it was a boy that was like Kirara, which he could change size from small to big, and he was about a four or five years old, so his eyes were close. Picking the pup up he ran back to the palace.



`9`9`9`9`9`9`9`9`9`9



On the way to the palace InuYasha somehow ended up getting kicked back and forth like a soccer ball between both Kenji and Gin. It did not take long to get back and everyone was happy to relax in comfort.



In the court yard it was filed with servants one group took the visiting lords to their room while the other half took the visiting and local soldiers, who went to fight, to the hot springs that was for the soldiers then to a feast in a room just for them.



Nina came to Kagome and led her to her room to freshen up. When the pups heard that Kagome was back they ran to the court yard hoping that they get to her before they were caught and lead away from her.



Just as they entered they saw Kagome's back they were about to run after her but was stopped by two words. "Shippo Kohaku?" looking over they saw Miroku and Sango walking over to them looking back to where Kagome was they did not see her.



"Hay... umm do you know where Kagome is?" Shippo ask looking up to Miroku hoping he knows where she was going. "Sorry Shippo I don't know the maid took her just a minute ago that way." Sango pointed to the shoji that she saw Kagome disappeared behind.



They were about to go after Kagome when five maids came three of the maids drag the pups to their room the other two took both Sango and Miroku to a room to get all of them ready for the feast.
