Accident by Fate

"Inuyasha it has 6 shards in its wing!" Kagome yelled notching arrow. They were fighting a Ko-tori youkai that had had shards. It's was most likely sent by Naraku and its power enhanced by the shards.

"Which wing?" Inuyasha yelled as he swung the Tetsusaiga at it. The oni bird flapped it's wings towards the attack and sent it right back at Inuyasha. He flew back into tree and the Tetsusaiga reverted back to the rusty sword as it flew from his hands. "Damn." He groaned as he stumbled up.

Miroku and Sango had been injured and Kilala was standing watch over their limp bodies. Kagome saw no other help for her so she aimed the arrow at the Ko-toris heart and let it fly. "Hit the mark!" She yelled. The arrow glowed bright pink and penetrated the bird's flesh right in the chest. Kagome ran over to the bird who was rapidly healing and stabbed an arrow in its wing. The bird turned to dust and all that was left was the 6 jewel shards. "Yes!" She yelled.

Remembering the others she ran over to where Kilala was and looked at Sango and Miroku. The houshi had only a few scratches and had been knocked unconscious; it was the same general thing for the Taijia. Kagome ran over to where Inuyasha was still trying to stand up. "Stay down Inuyasha you got hurt pretty bad." Kagome said looking at the huge gash in his side.

"Feh I don't want your help wench." Inuyasha replied once again trying to stand up. After a couple of fruitless tries he slumped in defeat against the tree. Kagome pulled gauze out of her bag, alcohol and cloths. She put the cloth up to the mouth of the bottle and tipped it over. She then put it to the wound. Inuyasha hissed in pain as Kagome cleaned his wound. She wrapped the gauze around him and smiled.

"There now at least it won't be infected." Kagome said happily.

"I said I didn't need your help." Inuyasha growled out finally standing up.

Kagome ignored him and went to wake up Sango, Miroku and find Shippo. He had left during the battle and Kag was happy but just a little worried.

"Shippo. The fight is over you can come out now." Kagome called sweetly. Then sure enough out of the bushes bounded her little kit still in one piece. He hopped up on her shoulder and smiled brightly.

"Momma that was so awesome I mean it took Inuyasha a while to even hit the demon and you took it out with 2 shots!" Shippo said overly dramatic.

"Yes that deserves a rewards Lady Kagome. It was very heroic of you." Miroku said as his hand inched closer to Kagome's butt. Grab! Scream. SLAP!

"Miroku you hentai!!" Kagome yelled slapping him. "Why in the seven hells did you do that?"

"I told you that the act deserved a reward did I not. Why did you want something more?" Miroku said with a glint in his eye. Thump.

Sango hit with her Hiraikotsu and he once again fell unconscious. "Yes that was quiet amazing nee-san." Sango said hugging Kagome.

"It wasn't that much of a deal. I've kill a thousand more demons then this wench has." Inuyasha said gruffly.

"I think Inuyasha's pride is hurt!" Shippo said in a singsong voice.

"I'll show you hurt! You little rabbis ridden fox!" Inuyasha yelled making a grab for the kit.

"Ah mommy save me!" Shippo yelled as he hurried to Kagome's head.

"Inuyasha sit." Kagome said calmly as Inu did a face plant.

"Oi wench why the hell did you do that?!" Inuyasha yelled after he got up out of his crater. "You could have injured me even more!" He yelled some more.

Kagome's eyes got glazed over and she started crying. "I'm sorry Inuyasha I didn't mean to hurt you." She cried. Shippo scowled at Inuyasha and patted Kagome on the back.

Inuyasha's face faltered as he saw the droplets on her cheeks but returned to glaring her. 'I can't get soft remember your promise.' Inuyasha thought to him self.

*~*Flashback*~*

Inuyasha had smelled Kikyo's scent and went in search of her and found the dead miko sitting peacefully in a tree. "Ah Inuyasha I see your sharp nose has once again found me." She said sarcastically. "Inuyasha do you love me." Kikyo asked as Inuyasha climbed up to her on the same branch.

"Hai I do." Inuyasha said staring into her chocolate eyes.

"You know if you and my incarnate find the rest of shards and complete the jewel we can either kill the girl or wish for Naraku to never had existed." Kikyo said leaning into Inuyasha's chest.

Inuyasha contemplated this for a long while. He knew and liked Kagome but her loved Kikyo more than anything. "I say we kill her. It's our only option, it we wish Naraku to never to have existed then we could mess up the world." Inuyasha said hugging Kikyo back.

"I hoped you would say that. Aishiteru Inuyasha." Kikyo said smiling maliciously while hugging him.

*~*End Flashback*~*

"Hello Inuyasha anybody home?" Kagome asked waving a hand in front of his face. He came out of his stupidor and grabbed the hand.

"Stop it wench I'm right her." He snapped. He jerked his head to the side and sniffed. "I'm going somewhere you can do whatever until I get back." He said running off.

"Inuyasha wait! Your wound needs to be healed!" Kagome yelled at his retreating form. She put Shippo on Sango's shoulder and said: "Watch him I'll ne right back. I need to catch him he shouldn't be moving around." Kagome said as she to ran off in the same direction.

Kagome finally caught up with Inuyasha when he stopped in a field. She skidded to a stop when she saw he was talking to someone. That someone she realized was Kikyo. They saw down on the ground as Kag went and hid behind bush.

"So koi is everything going in the right direction?" Kikyo asked sweetly.

"Hai, Kagome doesn't suspect a thing. I'll let her lead me to the shards until she leads me to Naraku and then dispose of her." Inuyasha said coldly. Kikyo smiled warmly as if she was alive.

"Good the sooner the girl and Naraku are gone the sooner we can live our lives in peace. Right to the end." Kikyo said as she kissed him gently.

Kagome turned her head away and felt the tears fall from her saddened eyes. She got up silently and ran towards the opposite direction of the 2, which was west. She ran and ran and the tears kept falling. Kagome realized she was trying to out run her broken heart and was losing.

She collapsed in a patch of moss and cried for what seemed like hours. She heard a noise behind her and her head snapped up and looked up to see the Taiyoukai of the west towering over her.

"Wench why are you on my boarders?" He asked coldly.

Kagome didn't know how to respond but her eyes fell on the swords at his waist. He followed her gaze and put his hands on the hilt of the sword.

"You are Inuyasha's whore. Yes I remember you, a very outspoken bitch. I see you are fascinated with my sword I will show it to you." He pulled the Touikjin out fastly put it to her throat. He was slightly amused with the fact he could smell no fear on her just relief and sadness. What had the half-breed done to the girl? He had watched her and she never would back down nor was ever stayed that mad for that long.

Kagome looked down at the blade at her throat and smiled. "Arigoto Sesshoumaru-sama you just provided me an escape." Kagome said kindly. Abruptly she pushed herself forward into the razor slitting her throat. Sesshoumaru withdrew the sword as if he had been burned as he watch the girl lye limply on the ground. 'What did you do to her little brother to make her so desperate to die?' He thought as he put his sword back.

He thought about her last words and frowned. He just did her a favor. He did no humans favors against his will the wench made a fool of him! 'Maybe if the half-breed cares about her then I could trade her for the Tetsusagia. If not I'll either kill her or make her Rin's caretaker.' He thought evilly. He drew the Tenseiga and slashed it across Kagome's chest.

Sesshoumaru bent down and scooped Kagome up. He closed his eyes and then the magical cloud appeared under his feet. It lifted up and went into the heart of the western lands, were his castle was.

Kagome groaned as she started waking up. Her body was aching and stiff from sleeping in the wrong poisition. "That was one hell of a dream." She whispered as she looked around. Then she realized that this wasn't her room or the forest with Inuyasha and the rest. This room was elegant and most defiantly not hers. "Oh Kami-sama help me. It wasn't a dream."

Kagome got up and walked over to the door. She cracked it open a little but couldn't see out something was blocking the view. She pulled it open some more and saw to guards standing on either side of the door. She swung the door open the 2 whipped around to come face to face with a very angry miko. "Move aside you filth." She growled out.

"No we have orders from Lord Sesshoumaru to keep you in your room until he extracts you on his own." The taller guard said as if he had it recorded.

"I said GET OUT OF MY WAY!!" Kagome yelled causing the demons to wince and hold their heads.

Kagome's hands glowed pink and she blasted them back into a wall. "That's why you listen to girls you idiots." She hissed. Kagome snuck around into the halls and was careful not to let any servants see her. She came to a corner and peered around it. She jumped back there was another demon walking by. She tried to back up but felt something hard behind her. Kagome yelped and whipped around.

"You realize that I've been following since you left your chambers do you not?" Sesshoumaru said coldly.

"S-stay away from m-me." Kagome stuttered out. She turned and ran don the hall. She didn't get 10 feet before Sesshoumaru was once again standing in front off her.

Before she could run again he picked her up by the neck and brought her face close to his. "Behave and you won't wish you died again wench." He hissed in her ears.

"Sesshoumaru-sama who is the pretty lady?" A little girl asked timidly from behind Sesshoumaru's leg.

He dropped Kagome and she landed in a heap on the floor. "Rin this is your caretaker for the time being. If anything happens to her wench you'll know how poison tastes." He said coldly. The Taiyoukai turned on his heels and walked down the hall disappearing around a corner.

"Are you going to stay and be my mommy!?" Rin asked excitedly. She watched as Kagome regained her composer before repeating the question even happier.

"I really don't know sweetheart I hope so you are very much like my kit. It would be nice if you 2 met each other. You would like him and I'm sure he would like you." Kagome said sweetly as she picked up the over joyed little girl.

"I'm Rin what's your name? What's the boy's name? When will I meet him? Is he my age? Do you think that we would have fun together?" Rin kept spitting out endless questions.

"It's nice to meet you Rin my names Kagome. My son's name is Shippo. You have to ask Lord Sesshoumaru before you can meet him and I'm sure you 2 would have loads of fun together." Kagome said nicely. She had taken a liking to the bundle of joy. One thing that she couldn't figure out was why Sesshoumaru had a human charge when he hated the race of humans. It puzzled her to no end.

"Come on Kagome lets go! I'll show you my room and then we can go out and pick pretty flowers for Sesshoumaru-sama!" Rin said grabbing Kagome's hand.

They finished looking through Rin's room and they were now in the garden. Rin was running around and the sakura blossoms swirled around her. Combined with the joyess look she had and all the different flowers that were around it made a wonderful picture. One that Kagome would always remember.

"Onna! Lord Sesshoumaru has orderd you to bring the child to diner. Hurry or you will taste fire!" An ugly toasd yelled at the carefree miko.

"Ursai small, ugly and green." Kagome said off handedly as she hit him on the head.

"Why you bitch!" Jaken yelled getting up. He held the staff of heads in front of him. Kagome was on her way to get Rin and didn't see what he was planning to do.

Fire spuyed from the heads heading for Kagome's back. "Kagomeeeeeeeeee!" Rin yelled running towards her. Kagome turned around and everything seemed to slow down. She felt something push her aside sending her to the ground and then an ear-piercing scream.

"RIN!!!" Kagome yelled running over to the girl. She was badly burned and her hair was singed. Kagome picked her up and cradled the whimpering girl. "Oh Rin why did you do that? I would have survived the burns. God this shouldn't happen to someone so innocent." Kagome whispered as she watched the girl close her eyes. "No. You will not die Rin. This I am certain of because I will help you." Kagome and Rin's bodies glowed pink and Rin's burns slowly dissolved.

"Rin!" Sesshoumaru yelled yanking the now healed girl out of Kagome's arms.

"Are you okay now Rin?" Kagome asked weakly.

"Hai I am! Lord Sesshoumaru look!" Rin said happily pointing to her arm. "She took the bad burns from my body."

"I'm happy you're okay." Kagome said as she fell to the ground with horrible burns all over her body.

"Nee-san!" Rin yelled. She tried to run over to her but Sesshoumaru held her back. "No Sesshoumaru let me help her she helped me! No no no no! Let me go and help her!" Rin screamed as tears feel down her small cheeks. She finally stopped struggling and turned to Jaken. "You horrid toad! You did this! You tried to burn Kagome and I saved her! Because she's a nice person she helped and got herself hurt! You vile creature you got what you wanted! You killed my momma!" She yelled breaking free of Sesshoumaru's grasp and throwing rocks at Jaken.

"Is this true Jaken that you tried to burn Rin's care taker and in turn burn my charge?" Sesshoumaru asked anger hinting in his words.

"The onna called me names and hit me on the head! I was trying to teach her a lesson when the baka ningen jumped in front of her and got burned!" Jaken squawked dodging a rock.

Red seeped into Sesshoumaru's eyes as he looked down to Jaken. "Rin wait inside for me." He said. Once Rin was inside he turned to Jaken and with one swipe of his claws cut him in half. "Never do that again." He growled out before he looked over at the limp body of Kagome. 'Hmmm what to do with her? Those burns shouldn't have killed her.oh yes with her lack of energy from healing Rin she wasn't able to fight back. I can't let her stay dead Rin would be very heartbroken and I hate it when girls cry.' Sesshoumaru thought as he once again took out the Tenseiga and slashed Kagome's back.

He slung her over his broad shoulder and walked back into the castle facing an overly joyed Rin.
