Chapter 3

2 years later

Kagome clenched her fists, staring down at the blood-spattered katana grazes that ran up her arms. The tattered pale blue silk kimono she wore was all she had to show she wasn't beaten to badly by Naraku. That and the battle-scarred katana on her left hip. She struggled to stand, badly wounded from a previous battle just before Naraku came. The raven hair atop her head flowed as a gentle breeze blew in her way. "I will kill him," she muttered

Kagome smiled and glanced down at her wrists. Two crystals of pink light shone faintly beneath her skin. "But now, with these pieces of the Shikon no Tama I have acquired, I will exact my revenge on Naraku for hurting so many people and for sealing my only way home." She smiled again, but not of the thought of Naraku and all his wrong doings, but at catching the scent of Rin, the little girl Sesshoumaru as punishment made Kagome protect.

"Rin, are you hurt?" gasped Kagome while grasping her ribs.

Memories flashback as she remembered when she first met Rin

Flashback

"Wench, were you trying to seduce me to make me look you in the eyes so you can see into my mind" Sesshoumaru accused Kagome

Kagome who was totally thrown of guard with his accusation said nothing, but try to explain she knows nothing about her powers as a demon "I swear I don't what you are talking about"

"Wench you will pay for lying to me" yelled Sesshoumaru

Sesshoumaru stared at Kagome and the next words that exited were as calm as ever

"You are to protect my human ward, Rin with your life."

A little girl came from behind Sesshoumaru

"Rin is Rin" squealed Rin

"Nice to meet you Rin" said Kagome

"You are beautiful, what's your name" said Rin while holding her hand

"Kagome" she answered

End of flashback

"Rin is not hurt, but Kagome you are"

Rin ran towards Sesshoumaru

"Rin will be back, with Sesshoumaru"

The youkai lord of the west sniffed the air. He sensed Rin running.

"Lord Sesshoumaru!" He turned to see Rin running in his direction. "What is it, Rin? What troubles you?" "I was gathering flowers near a small village nearby with Kagome when a demon attacked and then after Kagome defeated it Naraku came and she's hurt" Rin said in a fast voice

Sesshoumaru's face remained emotionless. "Take me to this village, Rin."

As they came close to the village, Sesshoumaru's nostrils filled with the stench of fresh blood. He soon saw many bodies scattered across trampled grass. Huts and other small buildings had been completely flattened. Amidst the bloodied battlegrounds, he noticed some movement. Swiftly, he scooped up Rin and leapt towards the remains of a tiny hut.

Kagome sighed, dropping to the ground from exhaustion. "So… tired. But… I can't rest. Not until Naraku dies and not until I see all my friends"

Close by, Sesshoumaru stood watching his young charge while she gathered flowers for Kagome. He had sent Jaken away with Ah-Un so that his quest would not be interrupted by the pathetic toad's ramblings. He could not stop thinking of Kagome, her scent was all over the place, but her blood formed a puddle in middle and then dragged into a hut. He looked over to Rin, humming happily and plucking flower from the ground for her protector and him. 'Rin is such a simple girl. She cared for me, even though I was a youkai. It's her fault I feel these emotions towards Kagome'

He ran towards the scent. Something was different yet similar about Kagome's scent, but he couldn't place it. He ignored the nagging thought and raced forward.

Hand on his katana, he raced forward. He ran as fast as his legs would allow. Something just wasn't right.

Kagome fainted suddenly 'something not right'

"What is it, Kagome?" Sesshoumaru asked, turning to her in concern

Kagome woke up and saw the jewel shards on her hand had turned a sickly green "There fake and poisoned" she said while pointing to the shards

Sesshoumaru picked her up and ran towards the scent of his half-brother, leaving Rin in the care of Jaken and AU-UN. The only way to remove the poison from the shards is for a miko to remove them and Inuyasha traveled with one.

Kagome awoke to see dark brown eyes staring at her. "Oh good, you're alright. We were beginning to worry that you wouldn't wake up or live. You have been sleeping for 4 days." She smiled slightly at the Sango's concern. "Where's Sesshoumaru?" Kagome asked forcefully

She couldn't believe that Sango was here, but she had wanted to see Sesshoumaru and Rin.

"By the way, my name's Sango and the man next to me is Miroku." Without warning, Shippo leapt into Kagome's lap. "I'm Shippo. The two-tail cat with Sango is Kirara. And I think you don't want to meet Inuyasha and Kikyo saved you."

Kagome growled slightly in pain and anger that Kikyo had been the one to save her.

"KAGOME!" joyfully screamed Rin. Hurting her ears and whatever demons were here.

"Rin is glad you are safe. Rin told everyone you were strongest and prettiest demon in world and you wouldn't die"

Shippo held back a choke and then asked a question "your name is Kagome?"

Kagome nodded while Miroku got next to her "my momma …well she was like my momma was called that" said Shippo sadly

Out no where Miroku grabbed her hand and asked the question she had almost forgotten

"A goddess has befallen to me, would you dothe honors of bearing my child"

Before Kagome got to speak, Sesshoumaru walked into the clearing with Jaken and AU UN and spoke while growling "Monk unless you want to ever ask that question again, I advise you walk away from Kagome" he said as though he was talking about trees or the weather

Sesshoumaru was at shock that those remarks came out of his mouth. He had felt jealous and had thought of Kagome as his.

"We should leave" said Kagome

"We can't …the only way they would save you is that if we help them defeat Naraku" said Rin

Kagome said nothing, but stare meanly at Kikyo and Inuyasha who were staring equally mean to her.

Sesshoumaru looking at her were her gaze was landing spoke "Inuyasha my half – brother and …." Kagome interrupted him and said "Kikyo"

"I don't believe I have met you" she said coldly

"Sango told me a miko named Kikyo saved my life and I believe you are the only miko here" Kagome growled out

Inuyasha stood stupidly and spoke "be grateful wench that she save your life"

"But I am grateful. Just surprised that a weakling like her could save a bugs life much less a demons life"

Sesshoumaru interrupted this conversation and spoke loudly "You are hurt and should waste your time killing the hanyou and his wench"

Kagome nodded and leaned against were Shippo slept on her lap and Rin cuddled with her tail.

Inuyasha stared at kagome's eyes ….something was so beautiful about them they were breathtaking and he wasn't even really staring at them because she had her eyes close, but wow they were amazing.

"Inuyasha you fool …. Kagome has learned to control her empathy eyes when awake, but when she sleeps … she could be taking your soul" said Sesshoumaru, lying just a bit to scare Inuyasha away from her. The truth was his soul wouldn't get taken away, she would just read his mind in her sleep.

Sesshoumaru sat next to her and leaned his head against her shoulder. (Unintentionally 'cough, 'cough ' lie")


A/N : next chapter the action will come in , but right now I'll leave you with the suffering of guessing what sick chapter I'm think of making. 4 all of you didn't get it , Kagomes punishment was to be Rins protector.
