Chapter Five: Journey Pt. 2

During the quiet night beside the river, Kagome sat at the base of a large tree with the two children on either side of here as she stared up at the stars. Since returning to the Feudal Era, the miko had grown to having less sleep than that of a normal human, though having the Western Lord sitting off to her far right made her a bit unnerved. She noticed every once in a while at how he stared at her in a very unusual way...as if he were studying or waiting for her to attack him. Kagome chose to ignore this however and respond to it with a deep sigh. Instead, she chose to let her mind wander to the two children at her side.

Never once could she doubt that the young kitsune was her son. When returning to her world for those three years, Kagome always felt as if there were something missing from within her. Assuming that is was the love she felt for Inuyasha, she pushed it aside to focus moving on with her life. It's true that she never laid with anyone, nor bore a child of her own but there was a connection between her and the kit that upon returning, it took Kagome only a matter of minutes of having Shippo in her arms to realize that he was the missing part of her.

She now wondered how her mother could cope with a daughter like her. How is able to move on, knowing that she would never see her daughter again? How did she deal with the pain of watching her go down the well each time that she did? Kagome's eyes began to water at the thought as she then turned her gaze to Rin.

Such a strange child to have such bravery and love raging up within her that caused not only a youkai lord, but a miko to melt at her every smile made Kagome not help but think that there was something familiar about Rin that she carried around with her. Oh yes, Kagome definitely saw this young child as her own as well. Though they have known each other for a short time, the connection between the two was strong and beautiful and the fact that the miko shared the love of this child with a cold youkai lord was not at all threatening to Kagome. In fact, most would say she encouraged it. After all, Rin was the perfect child for Sesshomaru.

From a distance, he watched the loving gaze of the miko as she looked to his ward. Strangely, he felt no anger or jealousy towards this human for having such feelings for his pup. The miko had proven her loyalty to him many times; even saved the life of his ward on some occasions and now has taken the pup under her wing as a pupil to her powers. If the miko thought of the pup as hers, then the Western Lord would allow such a thing to be; not only for the sake of the miko but also for the sake of his pup. The pup would need the care of a woman. She was human and though she would have a youkai as her father, there were certain areas in which a human female would be needed. Yes, Sesshomaru would encourage this relationship to the best of his abilities.

"Sesshomaru," Kagome's voice called out to him and he narrowed his eyes at her in response. She had noticed how his expression had changed when she thought of his ward...and though he did not look angry, she could not help but feel concerned. "I know that I am nothing but a human to you; a worthless human that does not deserve even the right to ask anything of you but I would like to make a request as the miko who has taken your ward into her care. A miko who has cared for this girl as her own and sought nothing in return."

Sesshomaru blinked slowly and raised his head slightly. He knew the request even before the words were to leave her lips. "Fear not miko," he began immediately. "This Sesshomaru will not destroy the bond you have with his pup."

She smiled in return and nodded her head. "Thank you," she replied softly. "She is a very special child, Sesshomaru and very lucky to have a father like you."

"Hn," was his only reply and they sat in silence the rest of the night.

On the second day of their trip, Kagome tried to lighten the mood with some small games between her and the children. At first, they tried to play tag, but with a stoic youkai lord leading you to god-knows-where, that game came to a quick end. And when it came to "I Spy", it was Kagome who got annoyed with the game and decided to end that one quickly as well. So, when it was close to mid-day, Kagome introduced a new game called "Word Ends" where someone says a word from a specific topic and whatever letter the word ends in the next word must begin with that letter. (A/N: Example would be if someone said "sword", than the next person would have to have another word that begins with "d" like "dog" or "demon")

This game proved to be the longest lasting and the funniest as to seeing the Western Lord play this once in a while when the others came across a stumbling point. Whenever they came to a dead end, someone would pitch in a new topic so the game would start over again.

As the night approached again, Kagome and Rin were sent off to set up camp while the youkais went out to hunt for smaller prey for dinner. Though they still had some meat left over from the night before, Sesshomaru had insisted on the smaller prey as he explained to Kagome that these were chances for him to train Shippo.

Taking Rin outwards of their campsite to gather wood, Kagome decided to also use this time to continue training Rin as well and had the young girl pick up some plants to help make their meal taste better. However, something was amidst about this night.

The minute the demons left the girls alone, Kagome's miko powers sensed something foul in the air. She had sensed this before when Sesshomaru came to her village the other day. He had masked his scent for most of the time until he let some of it loose for Inuyasha to detect.

Shivering, Kagome looked to Rin. "Rin, I want you to stay as close to me as you can," she ordered and the girl obeyed without question. Pulling out her bow and arrows, Kagome was able to prepare a single arrow as a youkai appeared from within the dark forest.

"Miko," his cold and yet seductive voice called out. He was very alluring with chestnut brown hair and eyes as black as tar. His skin was dark as well, as if he had been tanning for many years now. He stood as tall as Sesshomaru, though his clothing wasn't as symbolic of his royalty as Sesshomaru's was. This man had clothing that matched the woods that surrounded them; something made to help him blend in with the forest no doubt.

Pulling the arrow back threateningly, Kagome narrowed her eyes at the youkai. "What do you want?" she asked firmly.

"Why, you of course," he purred. "What a surprise to find a treasure like you in my passing!" He took a step forward and she a step back. "What a delicious woman you are!"

"I think not," Kagome growled. "I am under the protection of the Western Lord, on my way to the Youkai Court. You would do well to stay clear of my path."

"Oh I know of the summons, my miko," he stated as he took another step forward. "What youkai does not?"

"What are you implying?" Kagome asked curiously as she took a step back, following his little dance as it as leading them back to their camp.

"You are very special treasure, Shikon Miko," he began to purr again. "You are headed for a trap. Did you know that? I bet Lord Sesshomaru has not told you of this. The Youkai Lords have something very special planned for you. Oh yes...very special." He laughed in a way that reminded Kagome of Naraku. "Why not come with me? I will save you from such a horrible fate? You will make the ideal mate that I have been searching for. Come."

"No thanks, I'm already taken," Kagome barked back angrily, shielding Rin from the youkai's view.

"No Miko, you are not," he stated with a raised eyebrow. "You are unmarked and unmated."

"I am to be mated to the half-demon Inuyasha, half-brother of Lord Sesshomaru," Kagome announced proudly. "Now, I will ask you once again to leave. I do not wish to harm you."

"I am not leaving without you, my miko," he purred and suddenly pounced with amazing speed at her.

"Run Rin!" Kagome exclaimed as she let loose an arrow and dashed past the youkai. Rin took off back to camp, calling out Sesshomaru's name as Kagome ran in the opposite direction. Looking back over her shoulder, she watched the youkai grin at the game at hand and start to follow the miko deep into the woods.

"There is nowhere you can go, Miko," he called out from behind her. "I know these woods all too well. There is nowhere you can go that I won't be able to find you!"

She could hear the lust within his voice and was sickened by the thought. He was enjoying the game of cat and mouse and knew what the outcome more than likely would be if he caught her.

"We'll just have to see Youkai!" she yelled back and ducked as he tried to jump at her. He missed and she made a quick turn to the left, hearing him snarl behind her in a bit of anger.

"Oh we will, Miko," he growled at her, his voice sounding as if he were at her side. "And when I catch you, I shall devour you, body and soul! I will taste the sweetness of your virginity and make sure you learn that it is I, Prince Hayate, which has taken it!"

"Keep dreaming you creep!" she exclaimed as she made a sharp turn to the left again. Screaming at the top of her lungs, she fought against strong arms as she felt them wrap around her waist and lift her into the air slightly, before slamming her body to the ground. His body was hard, hot, and very aroused as he held her down to the ground. She tried to summon her miko powers, but he quickly caught her hands and held them above her head, wrapping some beads that resembled those that Miroku wore, around them.

"No!" she began to scream and managed to knee him in the groin. Though he grunted, he remained on top of her and ripped away the top part of her kimono. The red and white kimono had been a gift from Kaeda, saying that these were left by Kikyo before she had died.

Tears forming in her eyes, Kagome felt useless at realizing that the youkai had bound her powers with the beads and she could no longer fight off her would-be rapist.

"Prince" Hayate immediately took one of her breasts into his mouth, sucking very hard and using his fangs to bite slightly into the skin around the nipple. Grinding against her hard, Kagome sobbed as her body reacted to his, pushing up against him in response. The youkai growled in pleasure, pleased by her reaction and used one hand to tease the other nipple as his other hand continued to hold her hands above her head.

"Please...stop," Kagome cried as she felt him twist and pull at her nipples. Hissing at his tongue sliding over the wounds he had caused.

"Never," his lustful voice responded as he slowly began to kiss his way up her body to her neck where he began to suck. "You will learn to enjoy my touches. Our first time may be rough, but you will be screaming out my name before I'm finished with you."

"No," she sobbed. His hand moved away from her breast and started to travel downwards as his mouth continued to suckle at the pulse on her neck. He slowly removed the bottom part of her kimono, wasting no time as he plunged two fingers into her slick entrance.

Kagome turned her face away as Hayate's eyes glowed red with passion at feeling her tightening around his intruding fingers. Screaming, she cried out as her body reacted against her wishes and fought the pleasure that was rising within her.

"Stop!" she screamed. "Please! SESSHOMARU!"

And as if the gods themselves had answered her prayers, Hayate's body quickly left hers. A large growl rang through the forest as two youkai fought over the young miko, who now took the rest of her tattered clothing and crawled away as best she could, remaining mostly in a ball-like shape to hide her shame.

She could hear the growls, the scrapping of skin, the bites and tears of the flesh from the two Youkai. When she heard one body slam into a nearby tree, Kagome ducked further into her ball shape, fearing that Hayate would pounce at her within this moment.

Instead of the wrath of an aroused youkai, as she expected, soft, loving arms wrapped around her form carefully.

"No, please," she began to cry out, unable to fight back as her arms were still bound by the beads.

"Sh, you are safe miko," Sesshomaru's familiar voice called out to her.

Kagome let the tears explode as the youkai lord pulled her deep into his chest. She clung to him as best as she could, and Sesshomaru did his best to undo the beads around her arms. Though hiding it from the outside world, the youkai lord winced within as he examined her body.

Her cries slowly calmed as she fell unconscious into exhaustion, but not before looking at him with her sad eyes in question.

"Rin is safe," he quickly responded as he lifted her into the air. "Rest Miko." And she obeyed.
