Chapter 3 - Battle Brings Forth The Missing Child
"Revenge" Sesshoumaru replied quite calmly
"Whatever for? You want to have a father who loves you perhaps" Koroshiya laughed
"I am not here for him, partly maybe but you know what you did that ruined my life" Sesshoumaru growled as his hand went to the hilt of his sword "You took the only being I ever cared about"
"Oh I know what you mean" Kagome, Jaken, Rin and even AhUn looked on in confusion "Tell me my Prince, does your new woman know why you seek revenge here? Or did you tell her that you wished to save your father"
"She will find out soon enough" He unsheathed his sword "I will slay you for murdering my daughter" Everybody except for Koroshiya went eye wide in utter shock
"Daughter…" Kagome gasped
"Awe poor girl" Koroshiya smirked "You should have listened to Inutaisho young girl, he told you that if you stayed with Sesshoumaru it would result in pain. Do you feel pain Miko?"
"I don't feel any pain…only shock" Kagome replied "There hasn't been time to discuss personal lives with you around" Koroshiya admired her boldness
"She's braver than your last lover Sesshoumaru, she died giving birth to your pup didn't she" Sesshoumaru growled and gripped his sword even tighter "Poor Lady Sayuri, she died because of the stress and pain you and your father were causing around her. But hey that was 14 years ago"
"I'll kill you" Sesshoumaru was about to charge forward when Koroshiya stuck his hand out in an halt
"Now Sesshoumaru, before we fight I wish you to meet somebody" He clapped his hands and a female youkai in a black fighting attire landed in between them, she was also being hypnotized. Sesshoumaru went eye wide and dropped his sword which caused the gang to gasp
"Kameo…" The girl looked up at him when he called her name "You stole her at birth, why did you posses her when you could have raised her?"
"I believe she knew I was not her father and knew that you were, she remembered your face and dreamt about you as she grew up. She refused to do any of my biddings no matter how much I showered her with gifts, she just simply refused. Eventually I decided to take over her body, just like I did to your dear father whom shall be here soon to watch you perish too"
"You honestly believe that I will allow myself to fall to you after seeing my daughter?"
"I'm not the one who is going to end your miserable excuse of a life" He chuckled as he and Thorn stepped back "If you succeed in killing your first opponent you will be able to enter my Temple where I will let you kill me without defending myself"
"What's the catch"
"I'll tell you…" He folded his arms and walked away "Kameo, kill him" Kameo lifted her left hand where a red sword appeared in as she approached Sesshoumaru, she jumped forward to slash him. Fortunately he jumped back away from Kagome and the gang.
"If you hold still I will make sure your death will be swift and fast" Kameo said in a dead echoing voice as she slowly walked towards him 'Is she even alive? She is so motionless, it is as if she is connected to strings that are moving her around' Sesshoumaru asked himself
"Kameo, do you know who I am?" He asked as she stopped a few inches in front of the gang
"You're my master's enemy, you are the person who I should call father but instead you left me at birth casting me aside and over time you believed I was dead" She replied as a tear of blood trickled from her eye
"You don't honestly believe that do you?" He asked almost pleadingly "I thought you was murdered by Koroshiya"
"I…" He eyes that were tainted crimson were flashing green, her normal colour eyes "I…don't know"
"Kameo, listen to me" Koroshiya's voice echoed "Your mother died when you were born, this youkai blames you for it. He only wants you to go to him so that he can kill you"
"That's not true" Sesshoumaru tried to persuade "Kameo, you're my flesh and blood. How could I hate you?"
"NO" Kameo snapped as her eyes once again turned blood red "You're the cause of my pain Sesshoumaru, you are the reason why I have had so much abuse and why I have had my innocence taken away from me"
"You mean you were raped?" Kagome asked from behind her. Kameo looked at her with cold eyes
"Yes I was"
"By who?"
"Koroshiya"
"Then why do you stay with him?" Kagome asked
"Why did you stay with your father when he raped you? Why didn't you have Sesshoumaru kill him?" Kameo asked "I understand to begin with it was to protect your family but Sesshoumaru could have easily killed him and your family would have been free"
"I…" Kagome trailed off
"I know why, it is because you once loved him when he raised you and you felt safe with him. You know your mother loves him and refuses to leave him no matter how much she's endangering her children" Kameo said "I have not left Koroshiya's side as I have respect for him raising me and protecting me"
"That black shard that he has possessed you with is saying that" Kagome snapped "Kameo, you are 14 years old. You don't deserve a life of torture and deceit" She went on her knees and put her hands on the girls shoulders "What Koroshiya has told you about your father is a lie, I stopped trusting men long ago until your father showed me the compassion I deserved" As she said this Inutaisho landed outside the entrance of the Fire Temple holding a black shard in his hand
"How are you free?" Sesshoumaru asked "Koroshiya is still alive" Inutaisho looked over to his son and smiled sadly
"Let's just say Inuyasha spoke some sense to me" He threw the shard to the floor and stood on it causing it to shatter "The shard was weakening enough as it is, it was in me for over 100 years. Sesshoumaru, I hope you believe me when I say I am sorry. I was aware what was happening when I was possessed, even up to the moment when I stabbed you. Forgive me son, I didn't wish to cause you any of that pain" Sesshoumaru nodded
"I believe you father" Kameo watched them closely and eyed Inutaisho
"You have betrayed out master" She spat as she threw Kagome off her and approached Inutaisho "The betrayal will only result in your death" She was about to jump forward and strike him down when Sesshoumaru came up behind her, grabbed her wrists and pulled her back against his chest "Release me damn it, I swear I am going to destroy you too" Sesshoumaru turned her to him roughly
"Kameo, stop this senseless fighting" He pulled her into his embrace and held her tightly "Please Kameo, I don't want to lose you now that I have found you"
"Why do you want me?" She asked as she struggled in his arms
"I love you Kameo, you're my little girl" She went eye wide as he pulled back, knealed and looked into her eyes that were slowly turning green "Come back to me"
"KILL HIM" Koroshiya screamed
"I can't" She cried to her master "Don't ask me to NO" The black shard slipped from her neck and smashed as it hit the ground, her eyes turned bright green and lost the strength in her legs. Sesshoumaru caught her and he saw his daughter for who she really was for the first time "W-where am I?" She looked up at Sesshoumaru "Your scent…you're my father aren't you?" Sesshoumaru nodded and she collapsed in his embrace in tears "What took you so long?"
"I didn't know you was alive, I thought Koroshiya killed you" He tightened his grip on her "He has hidden your true beauty"
"I remember him saying that my body was for his eyes only" Sesshoumaru growled and called Kagome over to him
"What is it?" She asked
"Look after Kameo, I'm going to finish Koroshiya off" Kagome held Kameo in her arms as Sesshoumaru took Kameo's hand and held it in his "Kameo, Kagome is my mate she will look after you until I return. You have nothing to fear from her" The teenager nodded and stood with Kagome and Sesshoumaru "I 'will' return" He kissed Kagome's lips and turned to his father "Will you protect them?"
"No, I am going in with you" Inutaisho replied "I am going to kill him for killing your mother and ruining our lives"
"I'll put up a barrier for protection" Kagome reassured "Just come back in one piece ok" They both nodded and ran into the Temple of Fire
"Miss Kagome, may I ask how long you and my father have been a couple?"
"Officially? Yesterday" She smiled "I'm crazy about your father, and he protects me from my nightmares and ghosts" She took Kameo's hand and took her over to the gang "I'm sorry I'll be a little quiet for a while, I need to concentrate on the barrier" She then lifted her hands and created a barrier to ward off the youkai and other deadly creatures…
Sesshoumaru and Inutaisho continued to slay and run through the palace until they arrived at the chamber where Koroshiya and Thorn resided. As they were about to run to where Koroshiya stood Thorn jumped out in front of them and laughed "You will die" They then engaged into battle. Thorn managed to hit Sesshoumaru quite severely but never hit Inutaisho so he was the one who ended his life
"Sesshoumaru, are you okay?" Inutaisho helped his son stand and gapped at the blood gashing from his stomach wound
"I'm fine, go kill that creed" Sesshoumaru replied breathlessly
"Awe how cute" Koroshiya laughed "Father and son reunited, it makes me sick. Inutaisho what you feel for your son isn't concern it's guilt" Inutaisho growled and charged at Koroshiya
"You will pay for causing us so much misfortune" They then engaged into battle 2. When Sesshoumaru realized that the fight was getting a little too much for even his father he joined in the battle unarmed, oh how he wished he hadn't dropped his sword when he saw Kameo. Luckily though Koroshiya was destroyed by Inutaisho stabbing him in the stomach and Sesshoumaru forcing his hand through his throat "We're leaving, looks like you're going to collapse at any moment" He wrapped his arm around Sesshoumaru's back for support and stumbled out of the Temple; when they emerged Kagome dropped the barrier and fell to her knees desperately needing some energy
"Miss Kagome" Kameo ran to Kagome and kneeled beside her "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine Kameo, don't worry" Kagome reassured as Sesshoumaru and Inutaisho came over, Kagome looked up at Sesshoumaru's state and sighed "How come you are the one who is always wounded the most?" He kneeled beside her where she healed his wound
"Kagome, don't do that again. You could have knocked yourself unconscious then" He scolded
"Hmm you're worth it" He kissed her passionately on the lips
"Sesshoumaru" Inutaisho scolded "Your daughter is watching you, have some decency" He released Kagome and beckoned Kameo into his arms, she complied and snuggled close to her father "You, Kameo, Kagome and the rest will be coming back to my palace where you can rest" Sesshoumaru stood with Kameo as Inutaisho helped Kagome to her feet; he released Kameo and lifted Kagome bridal style
"You're too weak to walk at the moment"
"Then let me ride upon AhUn" Kagome didn't want Sesshoumaru giving her a lot of attention with Kameo there, she felt sorry for the girl "I can keep Rin warm then too"
"Fine" He placed her upon AhUn, caught Kameo's hand and everybody followed Inutaisho to the palace; as they left The Temple of time collapsed and destroyed all of the youkai in the area "Father, is there anyone at the palace?"
"Only Inuyasha I think I scared him when I left without telling him, he's most probably pacing around the palace waiting for me"
"More like snooping"
"Stop being childish" Inutaisho sighed "You're supposed to be the eldest of the family" By now it had turned dark and they were roughly a mile or so from the palace; Kameo began to tire so Sesshoumaru lifted her where she began to drift off to sleep
"Prince Sesshoumaru" He turned to Rin who sat upon Kagome and waited for her to continue "Where will the pretty girl sleep tonight? Can she sleep with me?"
"Not tonight Rin" Sesshoumaru replied "She's a little confused at the moment so I will be putting her in the room next to mine"
"Oh okay" He was grateful that Rin wasn't a beggar or winger and was glad she was quite understanding and didn't question his actions. Eventually they reached the palace where they were greeted by Monomaru and entered the familiar palace that Sesshoumaru once called home
"It is very late" Inutaisho said "We will all retire to bed but first…Inuyasha where are you?" The Hanyou came running and shouting downstairs which caused Kameo to jump and wake
"Dad, why did you leave without telling me?" Inuyasha snapped
"Umm hello, whose the parent here? And why don't I get a 'Oh hello dad I was worried but how was your day' instead?"
"I'm you kid not your wife" Inuyasha snorted. He then caught Sesshoumaru holding a girl in his arms who was looking at Inuyasha curiously "Hey Sesshoumaru, whose the kid?"
"My daughter"
"Huh, I get it that you and Kagome are a couple but that girl looks 15 years old and you two haven't even been together for a year yet"
"She is from my past relationship, her mother died giving birth to her" Sesshoumaru said "Now stop your ranting you woke her" Kameo wrapped her arms around Sesshoumaru's neck and snuggled closer to him
"What breed is she?" Inuyasha asked in a less quieter tone "She's not a complete Inuyoukai"
"No she's not, she is part Inu and part Elf"
"You mated an elf?" Inuyasha smirked "Really?"
"Whatever is wrong with that?" He asked slightly annoyed
"Nothing but they are caring, loving and harmonious…all the things you're not"
"Haven't you ever heard the story of Ying and Yang? Two opposites coming together to make one good thing" Kameo smiled when her father said this, it made her feel loved. Kagome saw this and smiled
"Right now you two stop bickering" Inutaisho shook his head and tapped Kameo's nose "I am grateful you are not like your father personality wise, he's so stubborn" She giggled and hugged her father even more
"Well I can't actually tell you who I follow as I've only met my dad and my mom is dead" She said surprisingly okay "But I'm glad I met my dad" She smiled as Sesshoumaru gave her a little squeeze, she then let out a tired yawn and stretched
"Father, I think it's best if we all retire to bed" Sesshoumaru said
"Yes you are right"
"Rin, go on up to bed and I'll come check in on you in a moment" Kagome said as she pulled the infant off of AhUn, she nodded and ran off to bed. Sesshoumaru then wrapped his arm around Kagome's waist and they went upstairs, they stopped outside of Kameo's room for the night where Kagome gave her a kiss on the cheek "I'll leave you two to it" As she was about to leave Kameo grabbed her wrist
"Miss Kagome, could you see me off to bed too?" She asked politely
"Of course" Kagome smiled "And you can just call me Kagome" Kameo nodded and Sesshoumaru carried her to her bed and sat her on it "Sessh, how about you wait outside a moment whilst I get Kameo washed and dressed?"
"Then wouldn't it be easier to take her to the hot springs?"
"No, she's too tired for one of those I just meant by giving her a quick wipe over and put her in a pair of sleeping garments"
"This room used to be her mother's so there should be some night dresses there that should fit her" Kagome then pulled open a draw on a posh chest of draws and pulled out a short cream nightdress
"I must say your mate has taste" Kagome mused as she grabbed some underwear too and handed them to Kameo, she saw Sesshoumaru give her a not amused look "I'll be right back sweetie" She said as she took Sesshoumaru's hand and took him out into the hallway
"What was that about?" He asked annoyed
"What was what about?"
"What you said 'your mate has taste' of course you meant my 'old' mate 'had' taste" Kagome winced at the tone of his voice
"I didn't mean it in any way I promise" She said as she looked at the ground
"Yeah of course sorry" He wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her "I just over reacted a little, I thought you were threatened by my old mate"
"I might get a little jealous or something in the future but that's normal I guess, it doesn't mean I love you any less" She smiled "Now I am going to see if Kameo is dressed and then you can come in ok" She pecked his lips and went into the bedroom "Hi Kameo, wow you look really pretty" Kagome smiled "I bet you'll look even prettier when we get this mud off your face and brush your hair"
"That sounds nice" Kameo giggled
"Then in the morning we'll have a nice hot bath"
"Even nicer" Kagome then filled some water in a bowl and wiped Kameo's face with a flannel, when she was satisfied that she was relatively clean she let Sesshoumaru in and began to brush Kameo's long black locks "Ow" It was obvious that Koroshiya didn't provide the proper things a girl needed, her hair hadn't been brushed for a long time "H-he would only brush my hair, if I tried he would beat me and he only brushed it before and after h-he…" She was about to cry when Sesshoumaru sat beside her and embraced her
"He won't hurt you again Kameo, he's gone and will never come back" By now her hair brushed and knot less, Sesshoumaru ran his claws through her hair and noticed cuts, bruises and finger prints on her bare arms; he ran his hand over them which caused her to freeze in her arms "Memories?" She nodded and he took his hand away "I think it is time you got some sleep"
"Goodnight Kameo" Kagome kissed her cheek as she lay down "I'll see you in the morning" She then kissed Sesshoumaru's cheek too "I'm going to settle Rin into bed" She then left the room and went to Rin's. Sesshoumaru pulled the covers over Kameo and stroked her cheek
"I'm so glad I got you back Kameo" He smiled. He kissed her forehead and tucked her in "Goodnight, I shall see you that you have a new kimono brought to your room tomorrow. If you need me I will be in the room next door"
"Ok daddy" She grinned. He looked at her in awe and nuzzled his nose with hers "Love you, goodnight"
"Goodnight my little girl" He the kissed her cheek and left the room, he then saw Kagome walk down the hall towards him "Why hello" He wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her lips
"Where will I be sleeping tonight my Prince?" He lifted her bridal style and opened his bedroom door
"Your chambers are awaiting you my Princess" He then carried her into the room and laid her on the bed, he climbed in next to her and kissed her tenderly "Goodnight" He lay over her and kissed her lips repeatedly "Do you love me Kagome" She nodded her head "Then tell me you do"
"I love you Sesshoumaru" She kissed his lips "Haven't I got any pajamas?" She teased
"I'd prefer you to wear this tonight" He grinned "Sleep tight my love" He then wrapped his arm around her waist and drifted off to sleep; meanwhile Inuyasha ans Inutaisho were downstairs discussing today's events
"Dad, that girl who Sesshoumaru says is his daughter how..." Inuyasha was confused
"Well son, Sesshoumaru was in love with an elf youkai called Sayuri. It was an arranged marriage and to begin with they completely hated each other, soon though they just realized they had more in common and eventually fell for one another" Inutaisho answered
"Oh right I get it" Inuyasha stated "So what powers does she have?"
"Who Kameo? Well I know she has inherited a lot of her mother's elfin powers but I'm not really sure what she can use all together, she is only a child and I don't know how Koroshiya helped or use them"
"I see, well I'm off to bed now so I'll see you in the morning. Goodnight father"
"Goodnight Inuyasha" Inuyasha then walked upstairs and to his room; Inutaisho also went to bed and welcomed the morning. The next morning Kameo woke in her bed and wiped the sleep from her eyes, she was a little confused of where she was first until she remembered Sesshoumaru's face
"So, I'm finally with my father" She said to herself 'And Miss Kagome is his new love, I don't feel threatened or hatred for her why should I? She's a really nice person and my father was lucky to have her, the only thing that confuses me that Koroshiya said that dad hated humans...so why is he in love with one?' She pondered with her thoughts a little longer when there was a knock on her door "Oh come in" As she said this the door slowly opened and Rin ran in and pounced on the bed
"Hello pretty girl my name is Rin" She smiled "It's so nice that I got someone to play with now"
"Hi Rin" Kameo waved "My name is Kameo"
"You're Prince Sesshoumaru's little girl aren't you?" She was right up in Kameo's face now
"Y-yes I am" Things were getting a little out of hand now, sure Rin was nice but it was early in the morning and all Kameo wanted was to see her father and Kagome
"Hey Kameo, do you want to go play in the gardens?" Before Kameo could answer someone else did
"Rin, leave Kameo be" Sesshoumaru ordered as he stood in the doorway "Let her settle in properly before you start questioning and playing with her"
"Okay, sorry Prince Sesshoumaru" She then jumped down from the bed and out the door "See you late Kameo" Sesshoumaru closed the bedroom door and saw on Kameo's bed
"Did you sleep well last night?"
"Yes thank you" She smiled "Did we wake you?"
"No, I usually wake early because I know Rin will torture my servants" Kameo giggled at his answer as he nuzzled her face "You have a beautiful smile Kameo" She blushed slightly "Kagome is awake if you wish for her to take you to the hot springs to bathe"
"I'd love that" Kameo then got out of bed as Sesshoumaru threw a dressing gown around her "Is it not respectful for me to walk out there in just my nightdress?"
"No it is fine but some of the servants are a little weary and will look at you in ways that I do not approve" He then took her hand and left the bedroom. They then entered Sesshoumaru's room where Kagome was brushing her hair
"Good morning Kagome" Kameo beamed, Kagome looked up at her and smiled
"Good morning Kameo" Kagome then put her brush down and caught the girls hand "Shall we go for a bath then?" Kameo nodded and Kagome kissed Sesshoumaru on the cheek "We haven't got anything to change into when we get back"
"Do not leave the springs in just a towel, I will have someone bring new kimonos to you" The girls nodded and left the room and headed for the hot springs (Luckily Sesshoumaru had told Kagome where they were) Kagome was happy that the springs were indoors, she could relax more easily. When they arrived they stripped off and slid into the springs
"Awe this is the life" Kagome mused as she leaned back next to Kameo "We can both get to know this place together, it's my first time here too"
"We would most probably end up in some secret room where we're not supposed to be in" Kameo joked "Where dad keeps all of his spells" The girls laughed when there was a knock at the door
"Who is it?" Kagome asked
"It is your lady in waiting my Princesses, my name is Yuri"
"Oh please come in" Kagome said. Yuri was a cat hanyou who placed the girls new kimonos down and bowed
"I am happy to serve you my ladies"
"It is nice to meet you" Kagome smiled, Kameo was a little weary of other demons at the moment so she just kept quiet
"Prince Sesshoumaru requested that when you are dressed meet him in his room" She then bowed again and left
"Well she seemed nice" Kagome said "Nothing like Jaken"
"Whose Jaken?" Kameo asked
"He's that little green toad that travelled with us last night, he thinks he is better than me because I am human and treats everyone not including Sesshoumaru and the King like crap"
"Oh I see, since I am the daughter of royalty how do you think he will treat me?"
"He'll most probably be a kiss up" They laughed a little more then washed up. When they were done they climbed out of the springs, got dressed and headed back to Sesshoumaru's room. When they arrived they knocked the door and walked in, Sesshoumaru looked up at them from the balcony and smiled
"Well I'm lucky to be with two beautiful girls" Kagome poked her tongue out to him and brushed Kameo's hair, Kameo was wearing a long green kimono with a red obi and Kagome was wearing a pink kimono with a blue obi; soon both of their hair was smooth and knot less and they walked out to Sesshoumaru on the balcony "Did you two enjoy your bath?"
"Yes" Kagome replied as he slipped his arm around her waist and kissed her cheek "Kameo and I are getting on really well"
"That is good to hear" With his free hand he pulled Kameo to him in a hug "Come on then you two you both must be hungry" Kameo then pulled away and took her father's hand. They then left the room and went downstairs to the dining room, when they entered the dining room servants escorted them to their seats where they met Inutaisho, Inuyasha and Rin "Good morning father" He gave a quick bow and signalled Kagome and Kameo to sit beside him, Kameo sat beside him and Kagome sat between Kameo and Inuyasha
"Good morning my son" He smiled "I trust you slept well Kagome"
"Yes thank you" Kagome bowed her head slightly
"Did you sleep well last night Kameo?" Kameo nodded shyly "You're not a loud mouth like your father then, your mother was a shy one but never to me. It was hard to shut her up after a while" Kameo giggled and breakfast was placed in front of them "So what do you lot have planned today?"
"If it's ok dad can I train in the dojo?" Inuyasha asked
"Of course"
"I'm going to show Kameo and Kagome around the palace, they can go around then without getting lost" Sesshoumaru replied to his father
"I'm going to play dress up with Jaken" Rin beamed
"Sounds like we've all got a busy day today then" He smiled. Soon everybody had finished their breakfast and went to do their own things, Sesshoumaru took the girls to the garden where they saw Rin wrestling Jaken
"Go on Rin" Kagome cheered "You can win"
"You really hate the imp" Sesshoumaru smirked "Not surprised though" He leaned against a pillar as Kagome and Kameo ventured curiously around the garden, Inutaisho came and stood by his son "Is there something you wanted?"
"Not really" He closed his eyes with a grin and folded his arms "Kagome could be Kameo's new mother Sesshoumaru, they get along as if they have known each other for years"
"If Kagome doesn't want to be a mother then I won't make her and that goes for Kameo too, if she doesn't want a mother then so be it"
"Then you should ask them, they are both very strong and you are very lucky to have them. Inuyasha still yearns for Kagome yet you stole her heart as she stole yours"
"She fears our relationship though" He replied "The prophecy..."
"Is just a myth, you two would not be given such a burden unless you deserved a grave punishment"
"Then tell her that" The girls sat under a cherry blossom tree and chatted
"So Kameo is this place beautiful or what"
"It is beautiful"
"But..." Kagome waited for the teenager to continue
"But nothing" Inuyasha then came out of the dojo and walked over to where Sesshoumaru and his father stood, Kameo sensed the hatred between her father and Inuyasha. She seemed quite intrigued by the dojo and really wanted to learn self defence plus she didn't want to see the two brothers fighting so she grabbed Kagome's hand and ran over to her father. She released Kagome's hand and Kagome jumped when she saw wings spurt out of Kameo's back and gapped as she flew to meet her father's gaze "Dad..."
"Wait a second" Inuyasha interrupted as he leaned closer to look Kameo deep in the eye "You can fly?" Kameo shrank back and winced by the tone of his voice, Sesshoumaru pulled her to him
"Inuyasha, stop scaring my daughter with your face"
"What does that mean Sesshoumaru?" Inuyasha growled whilst flexing his claws "You looking for a fight?"
"Is that what you call it? You still fight like a child"
"Feh I'd rather fight like a child than have a face like yours"
"This is coming from the person who has no mate and no child"
"Well you stole my woman so that doesn't count, you seem to move from one woman to the other" He grinned satisfied "I bet that kid reminds you of your old mate so much you've already tried to rut with her" Suddenly there was a crack and Sesshoumaru had Inuyasha by the throat to a wall
"Sesshoumaru, release him" Inutaisho ordered as Kagome held Kameo in her arms "Sesshoumaru!"
"Oh how I've waited for this moment all my life" He squeezed tighter
"Sesshoumaru please" Inutaisho pleaded "You're scaring Kameo" He smelt the air and could indeed smell his child's fear, he released Inuyasha's neck and threw him to the floor
"If you say anything so vile like that again especially if it includes my daughter I will kill you, and if you look at Kagome the wrong way I will also kill you" He then stood back and let Inutaisho get to his youngest as he walked over to Kameo and Kagome; his mate had a certain evil grin on her face but as for Kameo she looked shaken up. Sesshoumaru kneeled in front of his daughter and cupped her cheek "I'm sorry if I scared you Kameo, it's just that he shouldn't be saying such vile things that involve you" Kameo nodded and ran into her father's arms
"It's ok dad" He felt her smile against him, she looked past him and saw Inuyasha growling at the scene. "Umm dad...c-could you show me the dojo please" He pulled back and looked into her emerald eyes "I want to learn self defence"
"You'll need it" Kameo turned to looked at Inuyasha who had just spoken "With a father like yours who knows what he will do, you need to be prepared just in case he tries something" Sesshoumaru stood, unsheathed his sword and aimed it at Inuyasha
"You're just asking for death aren't you?" He was about to charge at his younger brother when Kagome caught his hand
"Don't Sesshoumaru, he isn't worth it" He nodded in defeat and sheathed his sword
"Father, if you want the halfbreed to live I suggest you keep him away from me" And with that Sesshoumaru took Kameo's and Kagome's hands and went into the dojo. As he was showing Kameo how to handle a sword Kagome picked up a wooden sword and tampered with it, Sesshoumaru saw the distant look in her eyes "What are you thinking?"
"Show me how to use a sword" He looked at her confused "I want revenge on the men who have ever wronged me...father and Inuyasha"
If you want more I need those reviews
