Cold Part Four: What's Needs To Be Known, And What Needs To Be Done

Disclaimer: Now you all know by now that I don't own Inuyasha

A/N: Well I know I haven't been updating in forever and I know I should so after rereading Cold 1-3 I decided on writing the fourth part now. It may or may not be long im not really sure write now but I hope you all like it.

Kagome had been sitting by the garden almost all day since she found out what really happened to Inuyasha. She would never understand everything that had happened since she had been gone and Sesshomaru couldn't bare to see her hurt more so he knew that keeping what needed to be said to himself was the only thing he could really do. It hurt him that she cared for his brother more right now then she did him but he knew that she had one loved him to so he withstood the hurt and allowed her to be alone. For now. What needed to be done was more important though; he needed to know why she was in the state of semi-invisibility or whatever her current state was. He knew she wasn't a ghost for her scent was fresh and clear, the dead had more distinctive scents such as the clay pot his brother had loved so. Kikyo. Sesshomaru sent a servant to find Kagome's friends, he knew they would not be able to see her but he knew that by telling them and letting Kagome see them would be good. It would be very good. There was no paperwork and he was glad for that. It gave him more time to find out what was going on with Kagome. He found many things that talked about how sometimes people would come back for one reason or another and only the person or people that were closest to him or her would be able to see him or her but if that was how Kagome was then he knew some one else would have been able to see her. Yet he was the only one. He got up from his study only to follow her scent to the garden. She looked up once to greet him thinking that he would soon go away but when his presence lingered she knew he wanted something.

"Kagome there are things that really should been known. Come with me and in my study those things will be said," Sesshomaru said waiting only a moment before walking back to his study. He could feel her presence behind him and knew she would come.

"Sango where's Shippo I think all of us should hear this," Miroku said while keeping a close eye on the servant sent by Sesshomaru.

"What is it now Miroku? You know with a baby on the way im not very keen to hearing much of anything," Sango said while getting Shippo from his nap.

"There's a servant here from Sesshomaru and well I think we need to go to Sesshomaru's castle very soon,"

"Oh to hell with him, why should we go there, its not like there's anything there that could ever be worth us going all the way over,"

"Madam being only a servant I cant say anything to change your mind but my master Sesshomaru said that it was urgent that all of you come to his domain as quickly as possible, he said that an old friend wished to see them but that he was the only one able to see her. He said he would explain everything later but he also told me that she would wish to see her friends," the servant said after seeing that something needed to be done.

"Old friend? Only one to see her? What the hell is he talking about we have no old frien… No it cant be… can it? Kagome…,"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sesshomaru entered the study and Kagome shut the door only to have it reopened by Rin.

"Rin I have much business to atend to can you please come back later,"

"Sure, oh hi Kagome! See you both later. Kagome you play with Rin later?"

"Uh…Sure," Kagome said as she sat.

"Ok bye!" Rin replied and skipped happily out the room.

"Rin can see me?!" Kagome yelled. Both she and Sesshomaru were stunned beyond belief. Sesshomaru knew that Rin was very powerful even though she was a mere human and a child at that but he doubted that what power she did have allowed her to see what, until now, he was the only one to be able to see. This would be a long day, a very long day.

"That was a little more then surprising but I believe there are more important things to talk about now," Sesshomaru stated after the shock had worn off a bit.

"Uh yes, so what did you want to talk to me about?"

"Well first of all I believe that I should tell you im trying to get your friends Sango, Miroku, and Shippo to come here, I believe you would like to see them correct?"

"There coming here! Really? Thank you Sesshomaru, thank you so much!"

"That was the good news… im sorry but I must tell you all that has happened since your… death. The old one you spent so much time with died the same day you did and so never learned of your death. The others, your friends, shunned my brother and he searched the whole year, before he killed himself, for me. I had hidden under here in a secret chamber. That is how Inuyasha didn't find me I had only come out at the end of the year when I heard of his death. I had visited your grave every day and searched for you even though your scent had faded and became old. The last day I went… was the day you came back, I wasn't going to come back after that but you came…"

"Sir. The guests are here," the servant he had sent out said.

"Ah yes the guests tell them to meet me in the dinning hall,"

"Yes Sir," and with that he left.

"Kagome come with me its time to see your friends," Sesshomaru said as he headed to the door Kagome happily behind him. In the dinning hall sat all three of her friends. She ran up to each of them but soon realized that they couldn't see her like the others but something was different she knew.

"Sango, Sesshomaru's here and… I can smell her, its not old its new," Shippo said causing Sango to turn around. But soon a pain came to her.

"Sango what's wrong?" Miroku said realizing his wife's pain.

"The baby is coming," Sesshomaru said before Sango could say anything. "Get her to the in house doctor quickly."
