Chapter 2: Somewhere out there

Last Time:

Kagome and Sesshoumaru just stood there holding each other in their arms. After awhile Sesshoumaru picked her up and carried her down to the living room. When they got to the living room Sesshoumaru set Kagome down on the couch then went to the kitchen to get them some drinks. When he returned Kagome was watching an old tap movie called 42nd street. Sesshoumaru handed Kagome her drink then sat down beside her and wrapped an arm around her shoulder. She leaned into his touch. Once she finished her drink she fell asleep in Sesshoumaru's arms. Sesshoumaru noticed this and laid down on the black leather couch. He set his drink on the coffee table then cut off the television. His last though before sleep claimed him was 'Kagome I promise that I will not let you go in any lifetime'.

This Time:

Kagome woke up a couple of hours later to hearing the doorbell ring. She tried to get up but was somehow restrained. She looked down and found Sesshoumaru's arms holding her tightly. Her back was to him so when he breathed she could feel his cool breath. She was working on getting out of his arms but couldn't come up with a plan so she turns around in his arms and kissed him lightly on the lips. It was enough to wake him up a little.

"Morning sleepy head" Kagome said giggling.

"Morning yourself" Sesshoumaru said back.

Just then the doorbell rang again. Sesshoumaru got up and allowed Kagome to get the door. While Kagome was at the door Sesshoumaru went to his room and got changed.

Kagome got up off the couch and went to the door while Sesshoumaru went to change. When Kagome answered the door she was surprised was an understatement.

"Hello Kagome what are you doing here?" A familiar female voice said.

"Hello Kagura. I'm here to see Sesshoumaru and Inutaisho. What brings you here?" Kagome asked curiously.

Kagura hesitated a bit because she knew that Kagome has always liked Sesshoumaru. The only reason Kagura was here was because of Sesshoumaru. They were lovers if you will. That just might all change now that Kagome was back in the picture.

"I'm here to see Sesshoumaru. I wanted to see if he wanted to go out tonight you know."

Kagome's smile faded and she looked upset but she didn't say anything. She opened the door wider and went upstairs to Sesshoumaru's room and knocked.

"Sesshoumaru! Kagura is here to see you!" She said leaving to door.

Kagome just walked away when she felt a hand on her shoulder. She turned around and saw it was Sesshoumaru with only a towel wrapped around his waist. She looks him up and down then blushed. Once she turned her head from trying to hide the blush on her face Sesshoumaru turned her face back to him and kissed her soft lips.

He wrapped his arms around her waist and brought her closer to him. She then placed her arms around his neck. He licked her bottom lip making her gasp giving him the perfect opportunity to taste her. They soon had a battle of dominance. They never got to figure out who won for they were interrupted by a voice so screechy that it hurt even Kagome's human ears.

"INUYASHA!!!!" The voice screeched out.

Then all you heard was something dropping. Sesshoumaru and Kagome looked at each other then ran downstairs to see what was going on. When they got there they looked and saw that the owner of the voice was on the floor.

"I couldn't hold myself back she is too damn annoying." A familiar voice said laughing.

Kagome looked at the person and smiled. The person in front of her was a tall, lean, woman. She had brown hair and brown eyes. Her hair was pulled up into a high ponytail.

"Sango!" Kagome said excitedly running and pouncing on her.

"Hey Kagome its good see you too!" Sango said trying to breathe.

Noticing this Sesshoumaru pried Kagome off of Sango and wrapped his arms around her. Sango and Kagura noticing this looked at each other and nodded.

"Kagome, Sesshoumaru, you both are in danger. We believe someone is after both of you." Sango said seriously.

Sesshoumaru's eyes narrowed to a glare. He wasn't about to put his love in danger no less his daughter. He was trying to think of people who would be his enemy. He knew for a fact that only one person was Kagome's enemy and that person was standing well laying unconscious in the floor. Kikyou, the only person who would hold a grudge against her own cousin for being in the same house as the Taisho's. She wasn't even in the league to threaten properly. So she was out of the question.

On the other hand, he had many enemies, but he couldn't think of them at the moment. Then it hit him, there is more than what the Sango girl was telling.

"Slayer you are hiding something" Sesshoumaru stated stoically.

Sango started to get nervous. This also didn't go unnoticed. This time Kagome felt anxious to what she was beating around the bush with.

"Well Kagome you see this guy kidnapped Shippou, and we have no idea who did it." Sango said waiting for something to happen.

Somewhere out there,
beneath the pale moonlight,
someone's thinking of me and loving me tonight.

Indeed something did happen. It's not what you think though. Kagome fainted on the spot. Her son was kidnapped and they don't know who kidnapped him.

Sesshoumaru caught Kagome with ease. He then looked at the Sango girl with confusion and demand filled eyes. He didn't know who this Shippou was but you can bet he was going to find out once Kagome woke up.

Which wasn't long after because she started to regain color into her face. Kagome opened her eyes and looked up to find Sesshoumaru and Sango having a glaring contest. She then tried to sit up but felt dizziness overwhelm her, so she decided to lay back down.

"Kagome who is this Shippou that this person kidnapped." Sesshoumaru said getting straight to the point.

"Well Sesshoumaru just like you have Rin as your adopted daughter I have Shippou who is my adoptive son. I found him on the streets with both of his parents murdered beside him with the murderer looking directly at him and was about to kill him when I threw a rock and knocked him out. I then grabbed Shippou and we both tied the person up and called the cops. After the cops questioned us I took Shippou in. What is more ironic is that was the day after I left for college. So he has been my soon for about four years." Kagome said finishing her story up.

Somewhere out there,
someone's saying a prayer,
that we'll find one another in that big somewhere out there.

Sesshoumaru did the unthinkable, well for Sango and Kagura, hugged Kagome and said some comforting words to her. Kagome started to cry in his embrace. Sesshoumaru looked at her with soft eyes. He did not know that she had a son, but that wasn't to be true for he hasn't talked to her since she left for college. He felt terrible that he didn't talk her during that time but then again he didn't know where she went too.

"Kagome you know we will get Shippou and once we get him back I will protect you, him, and Rin from anything that will harm you or them. You better believe that This Sesshoumaru with protect his love and children." He confessed surprising everyone in the room including his servant Jaken and his brother that had just walked in.

Kagome looked up at him and started crying again. It was so touching that she couldn't contain herself. Since she was already in a crying mood she might as well get it all out.

And even though I know how very far apart we are,
it helps to think we might be wishing on the same bright star.

"Kagome? Why are you crying?" Sesshoumaru asked shocked not like he was showing it anyways. He didn't know what caused this new crying spree.

"It's so touching that you consider Shippou your son and you haven't even met him. Also that you consider me your love, but we haven't been together for more than a day." Kagome said.

"Kagome, we were together the first time you stepped into this house when you first befriended InuYasha. That was the first time we were together. The first time you came to live in here, we were destined for each other. The first time you came into my room because of a nightmare, I was then decided by the fates to protect you and only you. That day you left to go to college tore me up though no one knew because I didn't want them to know." Sesshoumaru confessed.

And when the night wind starts to sing a lonesome lullaby,
it helps to think we're sleeping underneath the same big sky.

Everyone was shocked by the multitude of words that was coming from Sesshoumaru, well except for Kagome because they had a lot of discussions late at night with each other. At that very moment, InuTaisho walked into the House grinning from ear to ear.

"Finally, he got that out. Really, Sesshoumaru could you have been any more dramatic."

InuTaisho was laughing so hard that he didn't see the shoe come flying at his face until it hit him. He then looked up with tears in his eyes from laughing and looked at everyone.

"Papa! That was mean! You know that it was hard for him to say that out even with people here. He might've not ever said those words if Shippou wasn't kidnapped or our lives in danger." Kagome said chastising her Papa.

Somewhere out there,
if love can see us through,
then we'll be together, somewhere out there,
out where dreams come true.

"Shippou was kidnapped? Your lives are in danger?" InuTaisho asked growing angry.

Kagome looked at Sesshoumaru while he did the same. They both knew what would happen. It's better to tell him now then later when they find out who did this.

"yes Shippou was kidnapped, And also yes our lives are in danger but for some unknown circumstances that has yet to reveal themselves." Kagome said trying to calm her Papa down but it only succeeded in making him angrier.

Well InuTaisho looked from the group to Kagome. He did the expected and went up the stairs and went to his study. He was going to make some important phone calls. He was going to see where his grandson was at.

Kagome watched as her papa went upstairs. This wasn't going to be a pleasant evening. She looked at Kagura then at Sango. They knew something else.

"Sango what are you and Kagura not telling us?" Kagome asked suspiciously

Kagura looked at Sango then back at Kagome. "Well Kagome you see Souta was on the assignment but he was killed before we could get the identity."

Just then Kagome remembered she had a text message from Souta. All it said was 'Naraku'. She then showed it to them. She ran upstairs and knocked at InuTaisho's study.

When he bid her enter, she walked up to him and showed him the text message. Then it just hit her. Souta was killed trying to get Shippou away from this Naraku guy. Kagome then just sat down on the floor. She just sat there in shock while it sunk in.

InuTaisho noticed this and pulled Kagome into his lap and cradled her. "Kagome what's wrong?"

"S...Souta was…was killed t...trying to save Sh…Shippou" Kagome said brokenly crying into her Papa's chest.

InuTaisho looked at her incredulously. He looked like he was going to kill someone. Kagome brought him out of his thoughts when she got out of his lap and left to go to her room. She just needed some time alone.

When Kagome was in her room she got the feeling she was being watched. She looked around and found a dark figure in a corner of her room.

The figure had black hair that ran down his back to his waist. He also had blood red, demanding eyes. He was about six feet and three inches in height. He was wearing black everything.

"My, my, my. Kagome Higurashi, my dear, you know I've been anticipating this meeting for quite some time now." The man said in a low, deep voice.

"Who…Who are you?" Kagome asked shaking in fear.

The man smirked at the fear that was radiating off of her. He would make this girl suffer.

"My how rude of me. My name is Naraku Shindou. Your brother and I got acquainted before I killed him. He went down fighting what was surprising." The guy Naraku said smirking.

Naraku stepped up to her as she drew a breath preparing to scream. Before she could do anything Naraku brought her into a kiss and pushed some sort of liquid in her mouth making her choke.

Naraku was about to grab Kagome when someone came to the door and knocked. He looked at Kagome then at the door and smirked.

"Well my dear you have been saved by someone but remember that I will be back for you. Kukuku." He left with out another word.

The door opened and Sesshoumaru came in to see Kagome coughing and choking. He went to her and noticed her bruised lips and a green liquid running down her mouth.

"Kagome what's wrong?" Sesshoumaru asked the oh so smart question.

"Naraku… was in… here" Kagome said coughing in between her words.

Sesshoumaru decided that this wasn't good so he took her to his father's study and told him what had happened and showed him the green liquid that was on the side of her mouth.

Kagome started coughing again before she passed out from lack of oxygen.

Sorry to stop it right there but I had to because I want more reviews muahaha. The song in this story is talking about Shippou!
