The Weird Swords

Chapter Three - Feelings

“Kagome?”

“Yes?”

“I like it when you and Shippou come to play with me.” Rin looked up at her while she put her hands behind her back, her face in a smile. Kagome smiled back, “I like coming to.” Going up to Rin, she hugged her while kept on saying, “We never have fun with Inuyasha.” They both giggled, Shippou now laughing on his back against the flowers, which pricked at his cheeks, ears, and tail.

“But, Lord Sesshoumaru is fun, yes?” Kagome pulled away from her and looked into her chocolate eyes, “Yes, he is.”

Rin smiled, happy that Kagome said that. “You know what I would like to see?”

Shippou pulled himself up, so he was in a sitting position, “Hehehehe, what?” Kagome brought herself up so she wasn’t bending anymore, only looking down at Rin while she waited.

“I would like to see Lord Sesshoumaru play in his true form,” whispered Rin, her right hand covering the right side her mouth while doing so.

Five seconds ticked by.......and Shippou burst out into a fit of laughter going on his back again while he spazzed around like a dog being tickled on its stomach. Kagome was laughing too, Rin soon joining in.

"That's really funny! That would be kind of scary though. Right Kagome?"

Kagome nodded, too involved laughing at what Rin said. It would be scary but.....kind of cute?-

"Let's play tag Shippou."

"Okay. Not it!" Shippou leaped from where he lying on all fours while Rin shouted at him while running after not being fair. Kagome just smiled while watching the two play. 'I wonder where Sesshoumaru is...' She got up and looked for him, but, didn't catch his figure from her eye sight. Automatically, she felt unsafe that the demon lord was no where to be seen. 'Odd, feeling unsafe when he's not here....'

"Looking for someone?" Kagome turned around toward the voice that sounded a lot like Sesshoumaru, but deeper. She was met by a demon with red eyes, that seemed to glow on their own accord, back length of black hair and black dragon horns on his head. His outfit was like those in Victorian times.

Odd. A demon dressed like that?

"My, my. You are a beautiful miko. No wonder they want-mm. You scent is good too."

Kagome blinked. 'Who is he?' As if reading her mind, he bowed to her, "Pardon me, where are my manners? I am Lucifer Hellisque." Coming up from the bow, he settled his red gaze on her once again. "Or, to be blunt, I am Satan. King, and creator, of demons, like the ones before me."

"Oh." Well, this didn't happen everyday, then again, this is Fuedual Japan. "Kagome Higurashi. Pleased to meet you Lucifer."

"Very nice." His voice was almost in a purr while a smirk appeared on his lips, "You have very good manners."

"I was brought up that way."

"Mm." Lucifer closed his eyes while his smirk grew, "I know."

Kagome looked at him, seeing the aura around him. It was powerful. All mixed with such power that even Sou'unga would be defeated in a long shot of a flick of his claw.

"Whatever happened to Sou'unga?"

"Sealed. I was going to destroy it, but, that sword is good for torturing the good ones." A chuckle escaped from him. The word good was meant for those who were getting rusty of being evil. "Very entertaining though."

Kagome laughed nervously, "I bet."

"But, the most entertaining part is when I come in and tell him that the day is over. Big brat that sword is. Almost like Sesshoumaru." A sudden burst of laughter came from him while Kagome just stared at him, waiting for him to stop.

"And, who is like me?"

Lucifer stopped laughing and looked to his left, seeing the figure of the demon lord standing a few feet away. Kagome looked to the right, knowing full well that the calm voice was the owner of none other than the demon lord.

"Well it's about time pup. You should know better than to leave the lady all alone. I had to be here since some demons, wolves might I add, lurking about."

Kagome sighed. 'Probably Kouga. At least he knows who Lucifer is-oh wait, might just be instinct. But, who wouldn't with that aura around him? It blinds with power.'

"I had to be alone for a while."

"Do I want to know why?"

"No."

"Let me guess: Swords?"

Sesshoumaru gave a curt nod. He looked out to where Shippou and Rin were playing, watching them chase after each other in the field of flowers.

"I'll be leaving then." Lucifer bowed at Kagome, "Farewell. We'll probably see each other again." Kagome had a bit of red across her nose and cheekbones. Lucifer disappeared, his form being surrounded by black and red clouds before going of her sight.

"He's very....."

"Odd."

Kagome widened her eyes and looked at Sesshoumaru, who was kept on watching his ward and the fox kit. "Yeah. Especially for him being the king and creator of demons."

"Hard to believe he is."

Kagome shook her head and sighed, "Does everyone have to be like you for them to be accepted?"

Sesshoumaru turned toward her, his features a bit confused, "What?"

"You said hard to believe he is the king and creator of demons because of the way he acts. Which is very arrogant."

"Hm." His smirk appeared on his lips again, "Imagine that. You caught me."

#That sounds very odd....#

~*Mgh! Shut up!*~

Kagome's anger flared up, which made her aura shine a violent blue.

#Pretty-#

Tenseiga and Tokijin crackled and sent sparks to Tetsusaiga, which wasn't seen by Kagome.

"You are so arrogant." Kagome crossed her arms in front of her chest, and turning her head sharply to the left, so not to look at Sesshoumaru.

"Glad you noticed that as well miko." Kagome clenched her jaw.

*That wasn't very smart. Be nice to her.*

~He is. Just-trying to make her mad. Which is very amusing.~

Kagome glared at Sesshoumaru, who just stared at her back.

#And here we are everyone! The volunteers to win the staring contest! A fine one indeed! Here we have Sesshoumaru, Lord of the Western Lands, with long term experience at staring at something for longest of hours and not blink. His competitor is a human miko! One who always fought with Inuyasha and hasn't blinked when she sat the half-breed!#

~.......~

*..........*

'......'

~What......the.....hell are you on?~

*I don't know, but.........it's scaring me.*

'You're not the only one......'

"May I help you?"

"No. You won't be able to. Since, well, you would fail at it."

"Really? Tell me."

"Would you stop playing dumb?! I'm talking about you stop being arrogant!"

"Why? It's amusing seeing this side coming from you."

Kagome blinked, "Huh?"

"You heard me." Sesshoumaru's smirk was now to it's fullest. It looked playful and evil, if that was possible.

-------------------------------------------------

"I think she's been with that bastard long enough."

Sango and Miroku looked at each other and then back at Inuyasha.

"Inuyasha, Shippou is with her and I'm sure Rin is having fun playing with them."

"So what! She's been there since this morning! It's now the afternoon! Almost late!"

"Inuyasha, are you sure you're not a woman? Because, you're acting like her mother."

"Oh shut up! You know I can't stand it!"

"Actually, we don't. I think it's because you're jealous."

"So what if I am? I can be if I want! I want her back damnit!"

"Stop being immature Inuyasha. You know, as well as I and Miroku, that we have nothing to do, only search for the rest of the jewel shards. No Naraku. Nobody. So, let her have some fun that she hasn't had because we took her time of her life to help bring down Naraku."

"Fine." Inuyasha's voice was back to normal, "But, if she's not back later, I'm going to get her. Who knows what that bastard will be doing with her."

-------------------------------------------------

"I'm going back."

"Why?"

"You know the reason why!" Turning toward where Shippou and Rin were playing and was about to shout Shippou's name so they would leave, but something stopped her. That something was a chest. A damn well built chest against her back. Her blush appeared once again.

"Is this the reason why?" His voice was now low, like a whisper, while put his right hand on her hip while his left hand was sprayed on her neck, almost like a possessive movement. Kagome's breathing was loud and short while her heart sped up. 'I wish he-wait, why is he doing this? And why is my body tingling? This is Inuyasha's brother for crying out loud!' Kagome closed her sapphire eyes hard, while she wrenched her body away from him. "Don't do that!" Whirling around, she faced him, who had his arms on his sides, his amber eyes as casual as ever like nothing didn't happen.

"Don't do what?"

Kagome groaned and stomped off and sat down on the slope of the hill.

*That wasn't very nice-but, very funny.*

#Indeed. Playing dumb is so much fun to do to females.#

~I take it you tried it?~

#Oh yes.#

*He stopped after he got his ass kicked by an angry female though. Such a great sight.*

~Heh. No wonder he's screwed up.~

#You two are so meeeann!#

-------------------------------------------------

'I can't believe him! He-and then-' Kagome shivered while she propped her elbows on her brought up legs, their ends digging into her thighs lightly. 'A lord! Please! By the way he acted, I'm sure-eh.....aw man. What am I saying? Any girl would love what he did. And that damned chest of his! Why does it have to be like that? It felt so-alright Kagome. Let's stop right there! Let the train of what happened before run down.' A sigh escaped from her while she looked ahead of her. The sun was in her face, but, it was setting a little bit, giving off purple, red and orange light on the clouds.

'I should go soon. Inuyasha is going to flip if I don't.' Getting up, she wiped her hands on her skirt of her school uniform not before she felt arms around her. Turning around to tell the demon lord to stop doing that to her, she was met with air. 'Huh?' The demon lord was no where. Bringing up her right hand to her temples, she groaned, 'Could this get any worse? I'm now imagining his arms around me.'

“Kagome!”

Kagome turned to the voice, seeing Inuyasha coming toward her in a run.

“Inuyasha?” He stopped in front of her, taking her shoulders in his hands, “Did he hurt you Kagome?” Kagome blinked. “I'm fine Inuyasha. Why would he hurt me?”

“You never know. Are you sure?”

“Yes, I'm sure. I think I know when I'm hurt.”

“Where is he anyways?”

“I don't know.”

“Keh. I told you he doesn't care about anyone.”

“Inuyasha! Don't be rude!”

“What? It's the truth!” Inuyasha let go of her shoulders, “Don't tell me you have feelings for-”

“Sit!”

Wham!

“Ahh!”

“Is that what this is all about? You're afraid of me having feelings for him?! How can I?! He's so damn arrogant!”

“What?! What did he say to you?”

“Nothing.” Turning toward Shippou, so she could shout his name, she was interrupted-yet again.

“Tell me Kagome. What did he say to you?”

“Forget it Inuyasha! Shippou!”

Shippou stopped running after Rin and ran toward Kagome and Inuyasha, Rin followed to see what was the matter.

“Yes Kagome?”

“We're leaving.”

“Awww.”

“But Kagome!”

“Shut up Shippou! Stop whining.”

“I can if I want Inuyasha! Stop being my father!” Shippou leaped onto Kagome's shoulder and hid himself into Kagome's nape. Kagome glared at Inuyasha.

“What?”

“Say sorry to him.”

“No.”

“Say it!”

“No!”

“Ugh. You're so stubborn Inuyasha!” Kagome started walking toward the forest to get to camp.

“You should of said sorry to him Lord Inuyasha.”

Inuyasha turned to the human girl, looking down at her with his amber eyes. Rin looked back at him.

“I'm not Lord. You're precious Sesshoumaru is.” Inuyasha walked away from her, following Kagome. Sesshoumaru, who was to the side, came into view.

“Rin.”

“Yes?”

“Go find Jaken.”

“Okay!” Rin spread out her arms and ran, a habit of hers, like she was an airplane.

Sesshoumaru glared at Inuyasha's back, before making his paralyzing whip come out to attack him, but, Inuyasha dodged it. Growling, Inuyasha landed while Sesshoumaru was a blur, using his demon speed, hitting Inuyasha into the tree behind him, claws digging into his stomach a bit.

“I suggest you have your priorities straight before you talk to anyone like that, you pathetic half-breed.”

“Like you're one to talk.”

“At least I know how to treat females with respect-unlike you.”

“Respect my ass! You never-”

“Believe me, I do. Even that miko of yours.”

“Not today! You were arrogant to Kagome!”

“She disrespected me first.” A low growl escaped from him, “You know that.”

“I do not!”

“Now you do.” Wrenching his claws from Inuyasha's stomach, which wasn't cut very deep, he flicked off the blood. Inuyasha groaned while putting his right arm in front of the wound and walked away, Sesshoumaru doing the same to where Rin went.

-------------------------------------------------

“Inuyasha? What happened?”

Kagome ran toward Inuyasha, who let her remove his hand, revealing a small wound made with claws. “Sesshoumaru did.” Kagome looked up at Inuyasha, wanting to know if she heard right. “What?”

“He wounded me.”

Miroku shook his head, “One such as Lord Sesshoumaru would have a reason to do so.”

“The human girl call me a Lord and I told her, I am not one and her precious Sesshoumaru is.”

“Inuyasha!”

“You shouldn't have said that!”

“You deserved that wound Inuyasha. You should be nice to Rin.”

“Indeed, if it weren't for her, then Naraku would've be alive.”

“I don't think so Miroku. The human girl wasn't even captured.”

“Yes, but, Naraku was about to capture her. Luckily, Kagome hit the tentacles with her arrow, making Naraku going to her.”

“A big risk.”

“But there's something I don't get.”

“What?” Sango, Inuyasha, Shippou and Kagome said it all at once.

“If he didn't care about Naraku, why did he come?”

The group was silent, thinking.

-------------------------------------------------

“Can you believe that?! Lord Sesshoumaru, attacking Inuyasha when he spoke to Rin like that.”

“Destiny, aren't you being a bit dramatic? He's been doing that-”

“Oh no, no, no. That was when rescuing her!”

“Mmm. You do have a point there.”

“We must do more!”

“Like what?”

“Maybe Lucifer can-”

“The -saving-her-from-a-demon- thing is a bit old. I mean something dramatic. Angst.”

“How about making Inuyasha die?”

Destiny and her older sister, Fate, turned toward the source of the voice, seeing Lucifer there.

“Lucifer?! How in the-why are you here?!”

“It's called being as powerful as your creator and, because I'm getting really tired of no action.”

“I agree.....make him die!”

“But, that would be too much. It will tear her up.”

“At least Sesshoumaru will be-”

“No! I have a better idea. And it just might work.”

“Aww.”

“Lady Fate, you spoil all the fun.”

“Oh no, the fun has yet to begun Lucifer. Trust me.”

-------------------------------------------------

“Ahh! That fucking burns Kagome!”

“Not my fault. You shouldn't have opened up your mouth Inuyasha.”

“Keh. You shouldn't have been with him at the first place!”

“Inuyasha. I go there on my own will.”

“You almost got hurt!”

“No, I wasn't. I like being with him because you won't let me do anything at all!” The others stared at her in shock. Kagome soon realized what she said and looked down at the ground.

“So.....that's it then? You choose him over me?”

“Sucks to be chosen over, doesn't it?” Without a word, she got up, leaving the first aid kit on the floor beside Inuyasha, and ran into he forest.

“Hey! Get back here!”

“Oh be quiet Inuyasha. Let her go. That wound is nothing anyways.”

-------------------------------------------------

Kagome ran through the forest, dodging low branches and jumping over the roots of the trees that decided to be above the surface rather than below. 'I can't believe I said that. Why did I say that? Why, why, why?!' Creatures in the forest were confused why someone was running frantically in their home and no one was behind her no less. Of course, the ones that weren't foolish didn't dare to follow her since her aura had the power of the miko blended in. The foolish ones though, were tempted but, were stopped by a powerful presence up ahead.

Kagome slowed down to what seemed a cave. Wiping her forehead, that was filled with sweat, with the cuff of her sleeve on her right hand, she went inside. On the other side, she was met to a land she was familiar with. 'Oh no, please don't let it be-”

“Sister!”

“Sister!”

“She has come back!”

Kagome sighed. 'Too late.....'

“Go fetch Kouga! She has arrived!” One of the omega's of the pack went to do so.

“He has said you would come back and when you do, you will be his mate.”

“Eh.”

“And! He will treat you splendidly!”

“I-”

“Kagome?”

Kagome turned to the voice, seeing the image of Kouga, he looked the same-just-well, more mature! His hair was no longer in it's pony tail style, instead, it was being free, it's length like hers. Of course, his outfit was the same. The only difference was his hair-and his body. Kagome had to fight a blush coming up!

“I can't believe you came back!” Kouga lunched himself to her, hugging her. 'Okay.....he's still like-well-himself but, at least he's well mannered now.'

“I um, I was running that's all.”

“Running?”

Kagome shivered, oh, she remembered that line, and, an image of the demon lord flashed in her mind. 'Agh, stop doing that!'

“Yes.”

“From what?” Kouga grabbed her shoulders, “What happened? Did that mutt hurt you again?”

“No. I just wanted to-oh hell-I don't know.” Kagome bent her head, tears flowing from the corner of her eyes down her cheeks.

“Kagome, please tell me? I want to know.”

“He-he said something rude to Rin, Sesshoumaru's ward, and Sesshoumaru attacked him. I defended Sesshoumaru and he said that I was picking his brother over him and then.” Kagome sniffed, moving her right hand across her nose to wipe away the tears and the runningness of her nose, “I told him, it sucks to be chosen over somebody because he keeps choosing my incarnation, Kikyou, who was brought back from the dead by a witch.”

Everyone in the area was silent. This human, miko nonetheless, was defending Sesshoumaru?

“So...,” Kouga brought up his right hand to push her head up, so he could see her face, but, she kept it down. “Kagome, look at me.” Her head didn't budge. “Look at me Kagome.”

Who do you want child?

'Huh?' Kagome brought up her head, but, wasn't exactly looking at Kouga and paying attention.

“There we go, now...”

Who do you want child? You can't have both. You can only have one. You must pick wisely, follow your heart, nothing else.

'Who are you?'

I am who I am. Pick, before it's too late. Pick before you're tangled up in the emotion called love. Pick......pick now...

'Pick?'

Pick who you want to be with, who will love you, protect you, and love you for the one that lives inside. Pick......pick him.

'But-'

No time! You must pick! If you pick wrong, your world will be full of misery.

'Definitely not Inuyasha.'

Good, good, you're learning. Now, who's next? This wolf? Or...

Images flashed through her mind, her heart speaking to her in a whisper. Flashes of a figure saving her life from the poison controller. A figure helping to defeat Sou'unga. A figure standing on a tall demon, his voice cold but calm, eyes like the sun itself, only, shielded and blurred. A powerful dog towering over her and Inuyasha in a tomb, the stomach, of a powerful demon.

“Kagome? Did you hear me?”

So, who is it going to be to win your heart? Or, someone who has already settled themselves in the winner circle?

“No, I didn't hear you.”

“I said, will you be my mate Kagome?”

Who will it be?....... The voice faded until it fully disappeared.

“No.”

Gasps filled the air. Kouga now looked shocked in front of her.

“I....I'm sorry Kouga but-” She looked down at the ground between them, “My heart is already won by someone else.”

“Is it-”

“No.....it's not Inuyasha.” 'What am I saying? I can't be saying this! I love Inuyasha! I-I-'

Chose wisely. You have chosen one who will protect you with his every being.....just like his father before him. He has three swords. One, Tetsusaiga, to protect you. The other, Tenseiga, to bring back you and the ones that hold dear to him, or you. And finally, Tokijin, another sword to protect you, even though it may be considered evil. You have chosen wisely Kagome. You have indeed.

'But.....I.....he won't love me.'

Have you tried? You can't do anything before you try. He will adore you.

“Who is it then?”

“You-you wouldn't believe me if I say who.”

“I think I know Kagome. Right after you said his name, you started crying. I know how females work Kagome but, I'm not going to lie to you. Demons like him will protect you until they die.”

'Like their fathers before them. Ever father does.....'

“I must be going.”

“I'll follow you. Who knows what-”

“On the contrary, I will Lord Kouga.”

Heads turned, seeing the demon king and creator in the same outfit before.

“Oh, Lucifer.”

“Nice to see you again Kagome. Didn't I say we would?”

“Yes, you did.”

Lucifer walked up to her, his full height above Kouga's. “Come Kagome let's go.” The demon king offered his arm, which she took, and he escorted her out of the cave.

“Thank you.”

“You're very welcome Kagome. Now.......what shall I make for you to get back safely.”

“Huh?”

“Oh, I know, about a gigantic dog that is silver and white and-”

“Okay, you heard me say it didn't you?”

A playful smirk appeared on his lips once again, “Now, where'd you get that idea?”

“I just do.”

“Curses for your knowing ability.”

Kagome giggled at him.

Well, here we are.”

“Thank you.”

“You're welcome.”

Kagome walked into the area of the camp while Lucifer disappeared. Sango was the first to see her, Shippou came running toward her, leaping into her arms. Miroku smiled but Inuyasha looked away from her.

“So, you came back? Where'd you go? On second thought-” Inuyasha pulled himself up from the sleeping bag, “Why is that stupid wolf's scent on you?”

“I just so happened to run into him while I ran.”

“And?”

“Annnnd, he asked me to be his mate.”

“Oh, congrat-”

“I said no Inuyasha.”

“Really?” His gaze went toward her, looking at her to be sure.

“Yes. Why would I lie about that Inuyasha?”

“Well, as long as you said no.”

“Of course I would say no! I don't love him Inuyasha!”

“Then who do you love?”

“I-” Who did she love? Her heart whispered, telling her but she didn't hear it. Her mind was making her dizzy. “I don't know anymore Inuyasha, I don't know.”

“You do to know Kagome, you do and you're lying to me.”

“Inuyasha!”

“Be nice to Kagome!”

“That was really rude Inuyasha.”

“Like I should care!”

“Now you see how I felt Inuyasha!” Kagome advanced toward him, “Now you see exactly how I felt when countless of times you went to search for Kikyou!”

“Don't bring Kikyou into this!”

“It's the only way to make you see the way I see it!”

“Okay.....I stop seeing Kikyou and you stop seeing that bastard.”

“It's too late Inuyasha, too late to turn back.”

“So...” Inuyasha got up to his feet, “You do like him?”

Kagome glared up at him, “At least he knows when to give respect to people!”

“Respect?!” Inuyasha put his face into hers, his eyebrows furrowed in fury, “He didn't give me respect! Or you!”

“First time we met, that happens, and actually, he was quite nice to you.”

“Nice? The hell he is fucking nice! He almost killed-”

“But, he didn't. Tetsusaiga protected me.”

“So what?! You're fucking defending him!”

“No, I'm not defending him. I'm defending the truth which you don't seem to grasp.”

“The truth? What truth? Oh sure, going to him after he said that you had better manners than me when you gave him the sword and him letting you go and see that human girl? You know what that makes me realize?” Inuyasha bent over her now, “Do you?! Fuck no you don't! You're falling for him Kagome! Him! That no good son of a bitch half-elder-brother of mine who is merciless and arrogant! He tried to kill me and you!”

“Am I hearing this correctly? Are you jealous? Or are you just rambling like a child? Well, guess what Inuyasha! You had your chance and you threw it all away! You had everything from me! Ev-very-thing! But you didn't care, did you? You had to keep going to Kikyou. She's dead Inuyasha! Only thing that is keeping her alive is her hatred for you! She's made out of clay for kami's sake! And your brother merciless and arrogant? He saved Rin! He saved me! He even saved you!” Kagome pushed him away from her with such force, that he stumbled a bit. “And this is how you repay the both of us? I can see why Kikyou hates you Inuyasha. You only think of yourself, or, don't even bother to go over things! For once in your damn life, be mature!”

The others were silent. They didn't even dare to chime in.

“When did he-”

“Oh, don't play dumb Inuyasha! He saved Rin after you used the Wind Scar. He saved me from that poison demon and he saved you when the Dragon Twister came toward you by shoving you away and used Tenseiga to save himself.”

Inuyasha was about to speak but turned his head to the right, his features in a thinking manner.

“If you don't see that Inuyasha then......I pity you.”

“You pitied me befo-”

“I did not!” Her scream was now mixed with tears falling down her cheeks, “I accepted you being what and who you are! I accepted you Inuyasha! Don't ever dare think that I didn't!” Inuyasha was still silent, as was Kagome. After a few seconds ticked by, Sango spoke, “Let's go to sleep. I bet we're all tired.” No one responded and set up their sleeping routines like nothing had happened.

-------------------------------------------------

“Lord Sesshoumaru! I want Kagome.”

“You'll have to wait till tomorrow Rin. Knowing that half-brother of mine won't let her come until tomorrow anyways.”

Rin pouted but nodded, “Okay. I can wait. Just like I wait for you to come back.” Rin smiled that smile once again, that one smile that she gave to him when she found him wounded in the forest after being transported by Tenseiga. It was that that melted his cold heart further.

“Good.”

-------------------------------------------------

Kaaggoooommmmeeee.... The voice was but a whisper and faded to silence.

Kagome..... A scene came up, a tall man, two inches taller than her mother, had his back to her. His hair was cut short in the front, his bangs looked like they covered his eyes while the back was long, sprawled against his neck. Kagome......did you hurt yourself again? The man bent down toward a small version of Kagome, at the age of 9, crying on the floor with her knee scraped. Didn't I say not to run on the rocks when there's water on them? The small Kagome kept crying, rubbing her right hand across her eyes to clear away the tears. I won't tell mommy. I won't bring it up. You just wait till I come back from work and tell you a story.

The scene changed, a car skidding on the slippery rode into another car, crushing the person inside. A scream sounded, a wailing 9 year old in her mother's arms. Shouting and yelling when the police came to tell them that her father was dead.

He's gone! Gone!

Stop crying. Please Kagome. I know it hurts, but please, you have to stop, it's not good- Kagome pulled from her mother's arms and ran outside the house into the middle of the road. Putting out her arms, waiting for another car to come. Take me away.....I don't want to live......I want to be with father..... A car, speeding, came over the hill and zoomed down toward her-but-in a white blur-someone saved her. The scene changed to darkness, in a garden, fireflies glowing while flying around flowers. Arms were around her, cradling her form. “You foolish girl......” A striped claw came up and ran itself through her raven hair, “You foolish, foolish girl.....”

Kagome's eyes opened and saw the face of the demon lord, “Sess-Sesshoumaru?” The demon lord just kept looking at her with his amber gaze. “Why-what-”

“Did you honestly think that you would get away killing yourself like that?” He shook his head while Kagome pulled herself up so she was sitting his lap while looking up at him, “You saved me....”

“Yet again.....” Sesshoumaru brought up his striped claw and ran it down a piece of her hair on the left side of her face, “Kagome.....” His left arm pushed her toward him, but not too much, but enough so she would be closer to him, while his right claw slipped to the back of her neck in a caressing way, “I'll always save you.......no matter what.” He bent down to her lips, pulling her closer to him-

“Wake up Kagome!”

The scene disappeared into darkness while Kagome woke up with shock on her face and looked at Inuyasha, who was looking at her.

“Come on Kagome. Get up. We're about to leave. Go ahead and go play with Rin.”

Kagome blinked and sat up to look at him. “Who-who are you and what did you do with Inuyasha?”

“Keh.” Inuyasha crossed his arms in front of his chest, “Just hurry up. I want to get moving.” Kagome nodded and got up, “I need to eat first.”

“Here you go Kagome. I cooked once again. You slept later than usual.”

'I wonder why.......that was indeed an odd dream. I remember that day, but not the one with me going to the middle of the road. I went to my room instead.' Kagome rubbed her temples, “Thanks Sango. I was having a very odd dream.” 'Even though, Sesshoumaru was about to kiss me, I wanted him to-no. No.' Kagome shook her head and grabbed her plate so she could start eating.

-------------------------------------------------

“I can't wait till Kagome comes! We can play just like last time.”

“I doubt it.”

“Why Lord Jaken?”

“I just do.”

#Damn, that was certainly an odd dream. You think she had it?#

~Nope. Hey, Tenseiga is asleep....~

#She must be tired. It looks like she used a lot of energy.#

~Yes....but how? She wasn't even used any.~

#Hmm......#

-------------------------------------------------

“All done. I'll be back soon.”

“I hope the meaning of soon is in....ehh”

“2 hours?”

“Yeah, that's the word.”

“Okay. Come on Shippou.”

“Yay!” Shippou started walking beside Kagome while they went into the forest.

Miroku sighed, “How long will she last Sango?” He made sure he whispered low enough for Sango to hear but not too loud so Inuyasha wouldn't hear them. “I don't know. Probably days. Weeks. Who knows? Could be a whole month.”

“I doubt that. She defended him.”

“It's only natural when she's telling the truth. And, Inuyasha was being a jealous idiot.”

Miroku nodded, “True. True. More than me?”

“Yes, surprisingly.”

-------------------------------------------------

“Kagome! Shippou!” Rin ran toward them, her arms out wide, happy to see them. Kagome hugged her, “We can only stay for a while. We have to get going to find the rest of the jewel shards.”

Rin blinked after hugging Shippou, “Why?”

“It shattered after we defeated Naraku.” Kagome sighed, “It is getting tired to say the least but, Inuyasha needs me since I can detect them.”

“Awww, I won't be able to play with you anymore.” Rin pouted and hugged Kagome tight.

“Then, let's make this one a good one to remember?”

“Yes! Not it!” Rin ran toward the field.

“Not it!” Shippou followed Rin, the both of them giggling.

Kagome sighed and ran after them. Black shoes stepped onto the flowers, amber eyes gazing toward them. Green feet soon joined beside them, big, yellow eyes looking at them.

'So, she's going to find more of those shards.'

#And still the detector.....I thought her incarnation could as well.#

~I think she's dead.....er...gone.~

'She's friends with them. She couldn't even stand a day not being with them.'

#What about you? It's like a minute for you-#

'Rin.'

#Well, that too.....mostly Rin, but....#

'Why would she see me?'

~You never know.....I mean-wait-why is Tenseiga not talking?~

'She used a lot of energy. Very odd......'

#She had a lot before you slept but-ohh ho now that's smart.#

~Don't tell me-~

'-that she used that to make me dream?'

#Oh yes, I bet, she dreamed of you too. You noticed she didn't say anything to you?#

'Yes, I noticed.'

~Very clever. Never would've thought of that. But, she wasn't even by Kagome-~

'She gave back Tenseiga to me.'

~Oh yes. She must've made a connection with her. Wow, very smart. Hey, hey, very smart, smarter than the three of us.~

#That's my sister-always ahead.#

-------------------------------------------------

“Wow, Tenseiga is really smart Fate. Very, very smart. Shows others that females are more clever.”

“But, men are more clever with only one thing.”

“Oh? What?”

“Sex.” Both of them giggled, “Oh yes, you are right sister! Very right.”

Fate smiled, “Just look at Lucifer. Already a sex addict, and pro, with his elf.”

“I wouldn't mind putting my body under him-then again-who wouldn't? Those horns makes me-”

“Just ask him to make a demon for you. Or, you can ask father to make-”

“I prefer demon.”

“Ohhh, so forbidden.” Chuckles were sounded in the white room while the two sisters entertained themselves, “I love making two opposite people come together. Ohh, the possibilities and drama.”

“Lots and lots of drama!” Destiny put her arms upward while falling back, more giggles coming from her.

“It's hard to believe we are grown ups.”

“And, whoever said grown ups aren't supposed to have fun must be shown that we can.”

“Agreed.”

-------------------------------------------------

“Kagome?” Rin picked a daisy from the field, “Do you think you could stay with us?” Shippou looked at Kagome, as well as Rin. Kagome had stopped picking the flowers, “Stay with....you?”

“Yes. Lord Jaken is not much of a playing person. I've had so much fun the past three days. I want you two to stay with us.” Kagome looked at the flower in her hand. It was white with golden nectar in the middle, reminding her of Sesshoumaru, but, Inuyasha as well. Why was life so hard on her?

“I don't know Rin.”

“Only for four more days?”

“Rin, Inuyasha won't let her.”

Rin looked down at the flowers, which was so closed to each other and looked like a family. One thing she didn't have completely yet. “But....,” tears fell from her eyes, “I want to have a family. I want you two to be part of my family.”

Shippou looked at Kagome, who looked at Rin with widened eyes, “Rin....” That was Rin's cue to start sobbing, “I don't want you two to go. I want you two to stay forever.” Kagome walked to her on her knees and hugged Rin to her, rubbing her right hand up and down to calm her. “Rin.....you must understand, even if we wanted to stay with you, Inuyasha would have a fit, a big one, about us staying with you with Sesshoumaru, Jaken and Ah-Un.”

Rin grabbed the clothing on the sides of Kagome, the her knuckles going white, “I don't care! I want you two to stay! I want Shippou to be my brother and you as my mommy!” Kagome was taken back. 'She wants me to be......her mother? And Shippou her brother?'

A child does need both the most. Remember how you lost your father? She has one, but, now she needs a mother.

'Already has one?'

The demon lord. Even though he doesn't see it, he takes care of her like one. You take care of her like a mother.

'But, I can't be-I can't-I don't-I love-'

A forbidden act. Terribly forbidden since demons walked this earth. Human woman were used as rape items, as well as feeding on them afterward. They used the human woman to become slaves while the newborns become slaves as well. A horrible life that has never happened but almost happened when Sesshoumaru's and Inuyasha's father fell for one. He didn't allow it by forging the two swords, Tenseiga and Tetsusaiga. He saved you, he saved Rin, he saved Inuyasha. I say that he just needs a little push. Already has with Rin. You just need to be the finale.

“Why is my ward crying?”

“She wants us to stay four more days-”

Rin let go of Kagome's shirt and went to her fatherly-figure's leg, holding it like it was a lifeline, “I want Shippou to be my brother, I want Kagome to stay and be my mommy Lord Sesshoumaru.” Jaken, who was beside his lord, gasped and looked at Lord Sesshoumaru, who stared at Rin with his usual mask on.

“Rin,” his voice was stern and held warning.

“I want her as my mommy Lord Sesshoumaru.”

“Jaken.” Jaken went up to Rin, hugging her sleeve, “Let's go Rin. Let Lord Sesshoumaru have some privacy.” Rin did as she was told, following Jaken, Ah-Un towing behind her, but, she looked back now and then. After they disappeared, Sesshoumaru looked down at Kagome, who was sitting on her knees in a relaxing way.

“Did you say anything to make that happen?”

“No.”

“I see.” Sesshoumaru looked at the field, seeing the flowers making a wave effect by a wind, “It's what happens when you spend time with her. She gets attached, and once she is attached, she won't let go. Although, on my hand, I saved her life, and she chose on her own to follow me. I didn't seem to care, even though I wanted to. Plus,” Sesshoumaru knelt down to her level, his amber gaze now holding her sapphire one, “She's a child and doesn't know what would happen. She wouldn't even take the sight of so many others dying by the rampage of other demons to come and attack my lands.”

Kagome sighed, knowing he was right, “So, you're saying you'll be willing to deal with her while the days wear on when I am gone and she won't have me or Shippou to come and play with her?”

A smile appeared on his lips, “Very smart.” Sesshoumaru brought his hand up to a strand of hair on the left side of her face, rubbing it between his fingers, “Of course, we will follow you a little bit while you can sneak out into the forest and I will take you and Shippou to her.”

“So, one day of every week?”

“What?”

“Eh. One day, like, say for today, count to six and on the seventh is like-wait. Today is......Thursday. Next day is Friday, then Saturday, then Sunday, which starts a new week, then Monday, then Tuesday, then Wednesday and then, it's Thursday again. I'll bring a calendar, which shows you how many days are in a week and in a month, there's twelve of them but I'll explain that the next time I come so you will understand more that words.”

“Alright.” Sesshoumaru, who had forgotten that he was rubbing her hair between his fingers, got up fluidly while letting it slide against his fingers to go back down to the area where it once hung on Kagome's head. He started walking to where the others went, Kagome watching him.

“Come on Shippou. Let’s go, but, don't tell Inuyasha on what we have planned.” Kagome got up from her spot while Shippou smiled, “Okay,” and leaped onto her shoulder. They walked away from the field, the flower still in her hands.

-------------------------------------------------

“There you are! Let's go!”

Kagome gathered her belongings and put them in her yellow backpack. She looked ahead of them, wondering what will happen these past days. Only time will tell.

-------------------------------------------------

#It's a good thing you told Rin about the plans, otherwise, she would drive all of mad.#

*You're already mad.*

#Hey! Oh, awake are we?#

*Yes, I am. Oh, and by the way Sesshoumaru, nice choice of words back there.*

'Hm.'

*Famous line.*

#Yup.#

~A classic.~

*Ohhh, Tokijin, talking more, aren't we?*

Silence....

#You scared him. Good job. Jeez.#

*Hey! I did not!*

~You did too. It's all part of your plan.~

*What plan-ohhh, figured it out, eh?*

'Tetsusaiga did actually.'
