Warning none
Summary Shiori shifts her attention
Rin held Shiori until finally her body stopped quivering and her tears ceased. Inuyasha hesitant to intervene. The girl had just declared her love for him in front of Kagome. Anything he did or said now would raise Kikyou's ghost all over again.
Kagome stared. Ten years ago, Inuyasha had saved this little girl and her mother. She had been a cute little hanyou. Kagome could have just squeezed the stuffing out of her.
She had been so proud of what Inuyasha did in not killing her. At the bat caves she had seen a hanyou who could see himself in the little girl and thought of her needs instead of his own.
None of them expected to see her again. Certainly not spouting words of love. She felt empathy for the girl and her mother driven from place to place for ten years. Offering them a place to stay was one thing. Sharing her husband. was another. Her thoughts were disturbed by a commotion outside the hut.
"Jaken, clear these people. away from this hut"
Kagome's heart stopped.. The mob that had formed outside threatened Shiori and the peace of the village. They were her friends and neighbors who had accepted her, her hanyou husband and their children into their midst thanks to Kaede It never occurred to her that the peace might be shattered by Kaede's death and Shiori's arrival.
To her relief no screams were heard.. Instead, her husband reappeared followed by Kohaku and Sesshoumaru For a moment the three men stood in the doorway. Shiori looked up and an odd look crossed her face. Rin stared at her wondering what she was thinking. When she saw that Shiori was looking at Lord Sesshoumaru, she glared at her as if to say "Hands off, he's mine"
