Chapter 1

Kagome

It was morning and I had to go back to the past. I didn't want to because of Inuyasha but I knew if I didn't he would drag me back himself. I went downstairs, hugged my mother and ran out to the well. I jumped down and climbed up as soon as I could.

"Took you long enough wench." Inuyasha said to me.

"Sit boy." I said.

"Did you bring ramen?" Inuyasha asked.

"No. Sit boy!" I said and turned towards the village.

"Inuyasha got in trouble!" Shippo said and jumped on Inuyasha.

"I'm going to kill you, you little runt!" Inuyasha yelled and grabbed Shippo.

"Kagome!" Shippo called.

"Sit boy, sit boy, sit boy! Sit! Sit! Sit! Now stay away from my son! Sit!" I yelled and picked up Shippo.

He made a face at Inuyasha.

"Shippo don't make him angrier then he already is." I said.

"Yes, Mama." He said.

"Good, now here's a chocolate bar." I said and unwrapped it for him.

"Thank you Mama! You're the best!" Shippo said.

"Why does the runt get chocolate and I don't get ramen?" Inuyasha asked.

"Why? Well let's see Inuyasha for one he is my son and secondly you said her name when we were… doing something else. You said Kikyo's name not mine. So run along to your dead wench. I don't want you." I said and walked off towards the village trying not to cry.

"It's okay Mama, you don't need him. You have me." Shippo said and I smiled.

"You're right I don't need him. I have you and Sango, and Miroku. Oh, and Kilala to." I said and tickled him.

"Mama stop it, that tickles!" He said and erupted into laughter.

"You stupid idiot I'll killing you, and your stupid fox kit." Someone roared and I ran.

I held Shippo to me and ran back to the village as fast as I could.

"You're too slow. Your kits as good as dead." Inuyasha yelled and I turned away from his voice and protected Shippo from his claws.

I put up a barrier. To protect Shippo and to keep Inuyasha away.

"Kagome I will kill you for this you bitch!" Inuyasha yelled and I covered Shippo's ears.

"You don't need to hear that. Ignore him. H-help w-will come soon." I stuttered feeling cold.

Shippo climbed over my side and got mad.

"Mama let me out! Let me beat Inuyasha!" Shippo yelled.

I shook my head and winced. I tried to stand up and when I finally did I saw all the blood on the ground.

"Go to Kaede! Do not fight Inuyasha. I will come back to you Shippo, I promise!" I said and pushed him towards the village.

"Mama, I love you so much. Please don't leave me." Shippo begged.

My heart twisted and I picked him up and hugged him.

"Have I ever broken a promise to you?" I asked.

"No but.." Shippo said with tears in his eyes.

"Then believe me now my son, I will come back to you. Inuyasha will not win this fight." I said and kissed his head and smiled.

He smiled back and marked me as his mother. I flinched a little bit when he looked at me I smiled.

"I'm honored that you would do that. I love you Shippo with all of my heart, now go to Kaede! Now!" I yelled and he jumped out of my arms and ran.

"Finally the runt is gone. Now I can kill you!" Inuyasha yelled and ran against my barrier.

I sensed another presence and pulled my last arrow out of the quiver.

"That won't kill me wench!" Inuyasha yelled.

I used my spiritual powers to make a bow and I knocked the arrow.

"This is it Inuyasha your final chance. Leave us alone or I pin you to a tree for however long my arrow will last." I said.

"You're not powerful enough you stupid wench. Die!" He yelled and I shot the arrow.

It sailed into his body and he was pinned to the same tree Kikyo had pinned him to fifty years ago.

"When I get off of this tree I will kill you, and that whelp son of yours, you both will die at my hand." Inuyasha snarled and then his eyes closed and nothing.

I fell on my hands and knees and tried to get through the pain. I felt an aura touch my barrier. I looked up to see Sessomaharu staring at me blankly, and with a lack of emotion like always.

"What do you want Sessomaru? I've had enough or were you watching?" I asked bitter.

"I see he hasn't learned his lesson about human woman. You are all the same. Kikyo pinned him to the tree out of betrayal and you pinned him to the tree out of hatred." He said blankly.

"Then you're a fucking idiot Sessomaharu. I have a son and Inuyasha threatened him." I said and felt dizzy and everything went black.

Sessomaharu

The priestess passed out and I just stood their for a moment and I was going to walk away but she reminded me of the way I wanted my mother to be when I was little. My mother was cold and so I was also cold. I picked up the Miko and headed back towards the old Miko's village. When I arrived everyone just stared at me but the boy, the Miko's son ran up to me and jumped up and landed on his mother.

"Mama? Are you okay? Is she okay Lord Sessomaharu?" The fox kit asked.

"Hn." I replied.

He looked down at his mother.

"Follow me." The fox kit said and I followed him to the hut of the old Miko.

She came out and stared at me.

"Ye are Inuyasha's older brother, are ye not?" The old Miko asked.

"I am." I said.

"Come inside, Kagome's wounds need to be tended to." The old Miko said and I followed her inside.

"Ye need to sit. Ye will have to have Kagome sit on ye lap with her front facing you so I may treat her back." The old Miko said and I glared.

"Ye would not have brought her back if ye did not care for her." The old Miko said and I sat down with the Miko in my lap as she had told me.

The old Miko took off the young Miko's top and gasped at the damage.

"Is this ye's doing or Inuyasha's doing?" The old Miko asked.

"Inuyasha's." I said and looked down at her back.

It was bad and as I looked away my beast stirred.

Kill the halfbreed.

I ignored my beast and held the Miko still. The old Miko started to apply the salve and the young Miko started to whine in pain. I growled to make her relax and I rubbed my cheek against hers.

Yes, comfort our mate.

I almost threw the Miko from my arms but didn't. I didn't comfort her the rest of the time that the old Miko applied the rest of the salve. I layed the Miko down and headed for the door.

"Take her with ye Sessomaharu." The old Miko said.

"Why?" I asked.

"My sister will free ye brother, Inuyasha and then ye know very well what ye brother will do to Kagome, and her kit. Take Kagome with ye and protect the both of them. Please Lord Sessomaharu?" The old Miko asked.

"I will n-" I said.

You will, if you won't take her as a mate then if we save her she will be a great allie.

"I will." I said and grabbed the Miko.

"Take this with ye and apply it to her back in 3 hours. Ye best be on ye way. Treat her with respect or I will have Lord Miroku and Sango hunt ye down and kill ye." The old Miko said and I nodded my head and went to go get the kit.

"One more thing." The old Miko said and I turned around.

"Hn." I said.

"Take her bow and arrows. Kagome will need them if ye face ye brother Inuyasha. Now be gone and take her son with you." The old Miko said and I left to go retrieve the Miko's son.

"Where are ye taking Lady Kagome?" A girl asked.

"A healer." I said and sniffed out the kit.

I found the kit in Inuyasha's forest, staring at Inuyasha.

"Come, kit, we are leaving." I said.

"No, not without my revenge. Inuyasha will pay for what he has done." The kit said.

"Do not worry about the pathetic and stupid halfbreed. Right now your mother needs you." I said and stared at the fox kit.

"You're right, let's go." The fox kit said and stood beside me.

"Jump up and rest with your mother. I will carry you both so we can get to my home faster." I said.

"Yes Lord Sessomaharu." The kit said and did as I said.

"Hn." I replied in approval and ran.

We arrived at my home just shortly before I was supposed to reapply the salve to the Miko's wounds. The fox kit was still sleeping. He comforted his mother throughout the journey because of her back. I bent down and nuzzled the kit awake.

"What is it Lord Sessomaharu?" He asked.

"We are here. Get off your mother and knock on the door." I said and he did as I asked.

The kit knocked on the door and one of my servants answered the door.

"Who is it- Oh, Lord Sessomaharu! Ye are back and who is the human?" My servant asked.

"She is a guest and a Miko. Prepare the room connected to mine right away. I want the healer to meet me in the room. Be quick and prepare one of the children's room connected to the room adjoining mine. Be quick and let Rin know I have returned." I said and walked inside with the fox kit.

The servant rushed off and the kit followed me down to the family quarters. There was a servant at the kits room and she opened the door.

"This is ye room kit." The servant said.

"It's Shippo ma'am. You don't have to be so formal. You are my elder Ma'am." Shippo said and bowed.

I was shocked at this kits respect even towards servants.

"Kit, why do you treat those who are supposed to be beneath you with respect?" I asked.

"My momma taught me that class doesn't matter, what matters is what is in a persons or demons heart. Also that those who are a lot older than I, I should respect no matter what unless they have tried to kill me or my family. So thank you ma'am for preparing my room." Shippo said and bowed again.

"Ye are welcome Shippo." The servant said and moved aside to let the fox kit go into his room.

"Dinner is in an hour m'lord Sessomaharu and Lord Shippo. I will come get ye when it is ready." The servant said and left.

I walked to the Miko's room and the maid opened the door quickly.

"What did ye call me here for ye dog? Oh, ye brought a human wench into ye home? Is m'lord going soft?" Talia asked.

"Watch your tongue. This is a Miko. She has been attacked by my idiotic halfbreed bastard brother. Her wounds need to have the salve applied again." I said.

"Oh so ye brought a Miko wench, is it the same Miko that favors ye halfbreed brother? Ye are more of an idiot then I thought. Ye should know better and ye should be more cautious about ye wenches ye brother commutes with, the last one tried to kill ye halfbreed brother." Talia said.

"Watch your mouth Talia! She is a guest here! Now treat her wounds!" I hissed.

"I will not touch the wench!" Talia said.

"Shippo will do it. He has been shown how to do it." The Miko said and I looked down.

She looked horrible.

"Put me down. I can walk." The Miko said.

"Miko…" I growled.

"I'm fine! You don't have to worry about me! Just put me down and fetch Shippo!" She yelled and struggled in my arms.

Let her down and if she falls it's the perfect opportunity to catch her and show her we care.

"Alright Miko, but I will be here to catch you. Servant go fetch the fox kit." I said and let Kagome down.

"Thank you." The Miko said.

She wobbled on her feet and I grabbed her shoulders to steady her. She gasped and touched one of my hands.

"Thank you." She whispered.

I found myself staring at her and then she pulled her hand away. I pulled my hands away and she stood on her own.

"I don't know what your problem with humans is, or Miko's for that matter but I am not Kikyo the dead wench, you see, I pinned the stupid halfbreed to a tree was for threatening my son and nothing more." The Miko said and Talia laughed.

I growled and the Miko flinched. She stepped towards the bed.

"I'm sorry m'lady I didn't realize he was yours." The Miko said and grabbed the salve and left the room.

I tried to grab the Miko but she was using her powers to protect herself. I growled at Talia and pinned her against the wall.

"Learn your place servant." I hissed, dropping her and I left.

The Miko had gone to her kits room. I could smell the salve when I arrived and when I looked inside they were gone. I was mad but then a maid came running towards me.

"She is bathing Lord Sessomaharu, the Miko and the kit. She asked me to tell you." The servant said and dashed off.

My beast growled in relief and I relaxed. I went to the cave where the public bathing area was and listened. No one else was inside.

"Momma, are you okay? That soap looks uncomfortable." The kit said.

"I'm okay sweetie, it feels okay, it isn't the best but it helps with the dirt and grime." The Miko said her voice strained.

I could smell salt and knew she was crying. I couldn't really smell any other scent on her besides her kit. I left and went to my room. I heard the Miko enter her room and walk into the adjoining room for the kit.

"Now you go to sleep Shippo, and then I'll go kiss Rin good night. I love you Shippo." The Miko said and then I couldn't hear her.

Kagome

I left Shippo's room and went to Rins room. I knocked on the door.

"Rin sweetie can I come in?" I said through the door.

"No Lady Kagome, go away." Rin said her voice strained.

Something wasn't right and I knew that something bad was happening.

"I'm coming in anyway." I said.

"Please don't." She said and was silent.

"Alright Rin, I won't. I hope you feel better." I said and walked away normally and went to my room, grabbed my bow and arrows and tiptoed back to Rins door.

I readied my bow and then kicked open the door.

"Get off of her." I said and Rin looked at me crying.

It was one of the servants.

"She's my charge so she is my woman. You can't stop me." He said.

"The hell I can't! Get off of Rin!" I said.

"Fine, I'll have you instead!" The demon yelled and came at me.

"Rin close your eyes." I said and shot the bastard in the head and his body ended up pinned to her wall.

I took a blanket I found in the room and went over to Rin.

"Don't open your eyes sweetie. He can't hurt you anymore. Here. Sit up slowly." I said and helped her sit up.

I threw the blanket off of her and gently helped her swing her legs off the bed. I helped her stand and wrapped the blanket around her.

"Come on sweetie. We need to get you cleaned." I said and we left the room.

We walked through Shippo's room so no one would see us and then into my room. I knew Rin wouldn't want to be seen. I opened Sessomaharus door. He wasn't in there witch was good. I saw his servant.

"Go ready the Lords bathtub." I said.

The servant looked at me like I was crazy.

"Why should I?" The servant said.

"Go! Rin is the Lord's responsibility and has asked me to bathe her, she was assaulted now go!" I yelled using my reiki.

The servant ran to the bathroom and got it ready. I walked with Rin and went into the room and over to the water.

"Good, what does the lord use for soap?" I asked.

"Lavender and roses my lady." The servant said.

"I'll take the lavender. That's all Rin needs, I'm sorry I yelled at you. Please fetch towels and if you see Sessomaharu tell him that Rin will be okay. Tell him where we are." I said and she left.

I sat Rin down, got undressed, and then helped Rin stand back up and I looked her in the eyes.

"Rin, sweetie, I am not that man, he will never hurt you again. I will never, ever do what he did to you, do you trust me?" I asked gently.

She looked up at me and it was like she had finally woken up.

"Kagome, why am I in here? Where is the man, I'm scared. Please don't let him hurt me, he was rough and I, he hurt me and, and- oh no, Lord Sessomaharu will blame me. He'll say I deserved-" she said and I stopped her from talking.

"Lord Sessomaharu will not blame you. It isn't your fault, no one deserves that sweetie. You are not at fault, you are a child and your servant was a grown man, he should've known better. He will never be back, he will never hurt you, and most of all, you are Sessomaharu's family. You see him as a dad, he will never blame you and if he does I'll smack him because sweetie you are not to blame." I said.

"Really?" Rin asked hopeful.

"Yes Rin." I said and kissed her on the forehead.

"Now, do you trust me Rin?" I asked.

She looked down and then met my eyes and she started to cry.

"I do." She said and launched herself into my arms.

The blanket fell and she was crying into my chest. I put my head on top of hers and wrapped my arms around her.

"Thank you Momma." She sobbed.

"Always sweetheart, always." I smiled and looked up to find Sessomaharu.

I could tell he was mad but he was sad, clearly he had heard everything. He wanted to rush over and tell Rin it wasn't her fault. I nodded me head and looked at the blanket. He took his armor off and grabbed the blanket and wrapped it around Rin. She pulled away and looked at Sessomaharu. I saw fear on Rins face and then Sessomaharu smiled.

"Rin this isn't your fault, if I could've I would've killed your servant to because you're my family, my daughter. What happened wasn't your fault. I love you Rin." He said and she started crying.

Rin was happy. That's all that was important. I smiled and watched the two together. Sessomaharu looked at me and I nodded my head.

"Let's get you into the tub. So you can relax." I said.

Rin looked up at Sessomaharu and then at me. I smiled again and she kissed Sessomaharu on the cheek and whispered something in his ear. I just watched. Rin pulled away.

"Are you ready sweetie?" I asked and she grinned at me.

"Yes Momma." She said and I walked with her to the bathtub.

I let her go in first and followed behind. When the water went above her thighs she winced.

"It's okay sweetie. I'm right here." I said and put my hand on her back.

"It hurts. It stings really bad Momma." Rin said.

"The pain will go away eventually I promise. Now tip your head back sweetie, I'm going to wash your hair." I said.

She layed back and she put her head on my lap where I had a towel.

"Is this okay, Momma?" She asked.

"Of course sweetheart." I said and smiled.

I took the lavender soap and lathered it in her hair and rubbed her temples gently. She moaned and then relaxed.

"That's it sweetie, relax and let go, so you can heal and your body can heal." I said and let my reiki flow in the water letting her feel safe.

The tears were falling and I started rinsing her hair out. She started sobbing and once I finished I helped her sit up and she hugged me and let it out.

"It's okay sweetheart, we'll get through this together, you'll be okay, I promise." I said and held her tightly.

There was a knock and I turned and shielded Rin. Sessomaharu was still standing there and he was shell shocked.

"Who is it?" I called keeping Rin hidden.

"It's your servant ma'am, do you know where Rin is?" The servant asked.

I looked down at Rin, she was holding on to me for dear life.

"Rin, do you know that voice?" I whispered putting a barrier around us.

She seemed to lose it, she nodded her head and held onto me tighter.

"You are not welcome in here. If you come in I will kill you, stay away from Rin!" I yelled and heard laughing.

"You humans are all the same, including you Miko, you will do whatever to protect your young." Talia said.

The door opened and Talia walked in. Rin shook in my arms more.

"Sessomaharu do something." I said but he couldn't move.

"He's paralyzed dear, he can't help you." Talia said.

"What have you done to my daughter, and what did you do to my mate!?" I yelled.

"Your mate? Hahaha that's funny! You a human Miko. You're an idiot! I poisoned you to. Oh, and that little girl and your little fox kit also." Talia said and I felt it.

Rin had long passed out. She wasn't doing good. I pulled her out of the water with me and I didn't feel it anymore.

"You won't win this fight. I will kill you." I yelled and grabbed the Tensaiga.

I unsheathed it and she smiled.

"That sword can't kill me." Talia taunted.

"It will you bitch!" I yelled and wrapped my reiki around it and sliced her head off but not before she got behind me and attacked me in the same place across my back where Inuyasha had.

I saw Inuyasha and my body collapsed. Fear set in and I couldn't move, I couldn't get to Rin, and I couldn't save her this time. I felt tears and then I passed out.
