Asking Permission
For five minutes Sesshoumaru the feared Lord of the west stood shocked and unmoving. The usually stotic mask he wore crumbled seeing the Miko that traveled with his half-brother protecting Shippo and Rin. The act in itself was nothing she hadn't already done it was the way she went about it.
A wall of flames surrounded and separated the group. The fire moved as if it had a mind of its own. Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru tried to get close to the fire youkai but only manage to cut down a few dozen copies. "It's the one in the back Inuyasha," Kagome yelled over the roar of the flames.
For a moment the flames died out a few seconds later the flames shot toward the children. Everyone watched as Kagome jumped in front of the children. Everyone was even more shocked as the flames rushed up Kagome's back and disappeared into her hands. She turned quickly and shot the flames back. Mixed with her powers of purification it burned and purified the youkai into nothingness. She pushed the children away when she noticed her clothes on fire. They burned from her body and fell to her feet in ashes.
"What the hell was that wench," Inuyasha yelled as Shippo and Sango raced to her backpack seeing the state Kagome was in. Sesshoumaru offered her his haori.
His mother who had been talking to him before they were attacked stepped in front of Kagome blocking her from view. She raised a delicate brow at the Inuyasha. Wondering why he was upset at this happening.
Kagome dazed from the attack fell to the grass. She could see nothing but the children being burnt alive.
Inuyasha stomped towards Kagome intent on getting answers one way or another. Cutting his way through Sesshoumaru's mother if he had too. He growled and brandished his sword.
Sesshoumaru's mother looked down her tiny nose at Inuyasha. "You will stand down hanyou. The Miko is unable to speak and unclothed"
"I don't give a fuck what you say bitch," he snarled.
"Oh shut up Inuyasha. Your yelling is giving me a headache." Everyone stared wide eyed as Kagome walked from behind Sesshoumaru's mother fixing her obi. "I kept telling you it was the one in the back. Don't get mad at me because you failed to listen. Next time I'll tell Sesshoumaru." She snapped.
"Shut the fuck up bitch you're just showing off because my Kikyo is here. Its fucking sad because even seeing that I still don't want your sorry ass," he snarled and strolled back across the field to cuddle Kikyo. Who only looked smug at the group as if she'd won some thing.
Only Shippo, Sesshoumaru and his mother heard Kagome's small gasp and smelled the tears she was holding back. She turned to the children. "Are you guys alright?"
The two nodded both upset at the names Inuyasha called their mother.
"Good," she sighed. "I thought something had happen to you guys. I don't know what I would do If something happen to you two," she smiled brightly a smile they returned as they hugged her tight.
"That was amazing mama I didn't know you could do something like that," Shippo spoke awed.
"Its harder than it looks. Believe me," she laughed.
"That was truly remarkable Lady Kagome"
"Yes I do believe you're getting better and better," Sango cheered.
"Thanks guys," Kagome blushed.
Sesshoumaru's mother looked at him with a smile and a nod. He sighed inwardly glad he didn't have to fight her on this.
"It was an honor for this Lady to meet the Shikon Miko," she finally spoke looking to Kagome.
"It was an honor as well to meet the Lady mother of the West. I am sorry our talk was interrupted in such a way," Kagome smiled.
"It is no matter this one will take her leave," saying what she had to say. She formed her orb and shot into the sky.
Kagome handed Sesshoumaru back his haori with a smile. "Thank you"
He slipped it back on with a soft growl as he scented her on the silk. "hn" he loved that scent and now he would get a chance to smell it when ever he wanted. Now that he had his mothers' permission he would take Kagome as his mate. But first he had to get her to agree.
