The summer air whipped through I the trees gently. Exams were over and by some miracle I had passsed and graduated. I was very happy because that meant that I could devote nearly all of my time Naraku's down fall.
Unfortunately, not everything here was going well Inuyasha had mated Kikyo and she had joined our pack. She threw smirks at me whenever I looked her in the eye. In truth I no longer loved Inuyasha, in fact I had completely moved on and developed a crush on Sesshomaru. Something about his silence was charming. His care for the child named Rin was proof enough that he couls be caring, though I would never expect him to love me back.
I sighed as we stopped, it was in the afternoon and we would be looking for a rest spot soon. "Oi! What're you stopping for?!" Inuyasha yelled Kikyo getting off of his back. I had bring my bike from home earlier this month and I was riding it now. I sighed in fustration.
"Inuyasha, we are unlike you human, we need rest." I said as I kicked down the kick stand on my bike.
Inuyahsa was about to reply when he stopped. At that same time a powerful and oppressing demonic aura surrounded me. I recongized it immediately. "Sesshomaru."
My heart dropped into my stomach and refused to beat for a whole two seçonds. I gulped but not out of fear but out of happiness. I stood taller as he along with the rest of his small pack came into the small clearing we were in.
"Bastard, what are you doing here?!" Inuyasha yelled.
Sesshomaru looked at him cooly. "Foolish half-breed, you are in this one's lands."
My eyes widened and Sango and Miroku gasped.
"Feh, so what? I have a right to be here, I can come here if I want to, he was my father too!" Inuyasha pulls the mighty fang out of its sheath.
Sesshomaru's lip curled back in disgust. "Unfortunately."That's when Inuyasha lunged.
Sesshomaru dodged the sword's swing managed to kick Inuyasha in his stomach sending him flying into a tree. I watched them fight interested as did everyone else, even Kikyo was enthralled.
When Inuyasha got up from his pile of broken trees. He readied his wind scar. Just as he did this I realized Rin was just a few meters away from Sesshomaru and would get hit with it. Just before he released the attack Sesshomaru realized it too as his eyes widened and my feet moved.
Sesshomaru saw me and understood as he dodged the attack smoothly.
I poured my reiki into my feet so I would move faster. I erected a barrier just as the wind scar came and I shielded Rin with my own body just in case while pouring reiki into my whole being to be stronger and better equipped to take the blast..
Gasps rang out as the wind scar washed over us. I braced myself for the pain but none came And I knew the barrier was strong. I was safe but more importantly Rin was too.
Inuyasha yelled my name over the rawr . "Kagome!"
In a second after it had passed and I had lowered the barrier and stood with young Rin in my arms. I looked up at Sesshomaru first. He stood only feet away from us, watching as I gently put Rin down on her feet. As I straightened I spoke one word. "Sit."
Inuyasha was dragged to t he earth and for a moment was quiet before he jumped up.
"What the hell was that for?" He yelled. I glared at him coldly. His ears flattened to his skull.
"That was for almost killing Rin!" I yelled angrily. "Now sit, you sit better sit start sit watching sit where sit you sit swing sit that thing!" He was unconscious by the time I was through. Kikyo was hurriedly pulling him out of the hole he was in.
I turned back to Sesshomaru and bowed respectively. "Forgive that idiot for his... well idiocy. He wouldn't normally be so careless."
I heard him move closer but I didn't move from my position . A clawed hand with magenta stripes came into view and pulled my chin up forcing me to straighten. He spoke. "Hn...this one thanks you for saving his ward. You have earned this Seshomaru's respect."
I smiled at him brightly. "What kind of miko would I be if I didn't save a child from a big scary demon." I say laughingly rolling my eyes.
"...Indeed... Hn what an odd eye color for a ningen." I blushed at the what-I-took-as-a-compliment compliment.
"T-thank you Sesshomaru-sama." I smiled gently at him. He nodded his head and turned to look at Rin who held onto my arm tightly.
"Rin you may release the miko now." He said with a surprisingly soft undertone.
She ran to him and cuddle into his legs. Sesshomaru patted her head affectionately. I smiled at the dislpay. Yes Sesshomaru was far better than Inuyasha.
"Thank you Kagome-sama." Rin smiled brightly at me. I knelt down to her level.
'It was my pleasure Rin and you can call me Kagome if you want." I say patting her cheek gently. She grinned and nodded.
Sesshomaru growled andI looked up confused but he wasn't looking at me but instead at Inuyasha who was awake... and charging t at me. Sesshomaru stepped in front of me and met him head on with Tokijin. I gasped. I covered Rin with my arm and quickly moved out of the way.
I staredat the two fighting and realized that Sesshomaru was... protecting not just Rin but... me as well. I didn't understand though, why was he doing so?
Thetwo continued to fight until Sesshomaru slashed open Inuyasha's shoulder. The wound was deep but it was nothing he couldn't die from. As soon as Inuyasha knelt from the wound Sesshomaru put his sword away.
"The miko shall no longer accompany you and will instead come with this one because of your lack ofcontrol," he walked towards me, "Miko get your things." He commanded.
I nodded and scrambled to get my things. "Momma your not leaving... are you?" Shippo asked with tears in his eyes. I opened my mouth to speak but was cut off.
"You may bring the kit." Sesshomaru said boredly. I grinned at him and nodded. Shippo jumped into my arms and I heaved my bag over my shoulder and then I said goodbye to Sango and Miroku.
"Are you sure you can trust him?" Sango asked immediately. I giggled.
"Of course." I say shortly.
"Then we trust him." Miroku said with a smile.
"Thanks you guys." I sayand hug them both.
"Monk if you know what is healthy for you you will keep your hands above this one's ward's waist." Miroku still in my arms and I pulled away. Sango smacked him. As I turned I caught Kikyo and Inuya sha's glare, I smiled sweetly at them.
We then departed me and Shippo with Sesshomaru on his cloud and Rin and Jaken on AhUn.
