8888 The Groups 8888
Everyone was settling down for the night, except for Sesshomaru, who was still in the tree, and Inuyasha, who ran into the forest about an hour ago. Rin and Shippo were in Kagome's sleeping bag with Souta next to them in his own sleeping bag, drawing. Sango and Miroku were sitting by the fire finishing the leftover meat Souta and Kagome hunted. And Kagome was sitting under a tree thinking about what would happen tomorrow.
"Kagome?" Rin asked in a tired voice.
"Yes, sweetie," Kagome answered.
"Where are you going to sleep?" the little girl asked.
"Don't worry about that," Kagome said to reassure the girl.
"Okay," Rin answered before going to sleep.
While the two girls were talking, Sesshomaru was listening and having a conversation with his beast.
'Why does that miko and her brother confuse me?' Sesshomaru asked himself.
'Because you want to learn more about her,' his beast answered.
'This Sesshomaru does not want to learn more. I just want to determine whether she is a foe or just a human with a little power.' Sesshomaru all but growled back.
'Miko is good with pup. She is a good alpha,' Sesshomarus' beast said as he saw Kagome reassure Rin and made her go to sleep.
'Hn. She is. And she knows that she is alpha, yet lets the half-breed think he is. Why?'
'It be easier and less of struggle for her. Half-breed thinks the strongest alpha. If that true, than slayer be alpha,' the beast replied.
'Hn. GO back to your cage,' Sesshomaru said, effectively ending the conversation as everyone laid down to sleep except himself (and Inuyasha with Kikyo).

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Everyone was startled awake (or attention for Sesshomaru) as a blood curdling scream was let out. Kagome looked at everyone and saw that Rin had a terrified expression on her face. Jumping up from the roots of the tree she was sleeping on, she ran straight to the now crying girl.
"Shhh. Shhh. Shhh. What happened sweetie?" Kagome asked quietly as she tried to settle the girl down, rocking her back and forward.
"Hic…you and….sob….Lord Sessho…hic…maru were fighting….hic…Naraku and you both….sob…died…Don't leave me….hic…alone again," Rin explained while sobbing.
"Hush now little one. Lord Sesshomaru and I are still here. Plus it would take more than Naraku to kill either of us, okay?" Kagome stated with confidence.
Rin nodded after seeing Lord Sesshomaru nod his head ever so slightly.
"Do you think you can go to sleep again?" Kagome asked putting Rin in the sleeping bag.
"NO! What happens if you two disappear while Rin sleeps?!" Rin asked with a horrified expression.
"Shhh. We won't disappear. Why don't I sing you a song I wrote years ago?" Kagome asked calmly.
"Please?" Rin asked still a little frightened.
"Souta? Can you please go in my bag and grab my keys and your guitar?" Kagome asked looking at Souta with a pleading look.
"Ok. But I deserve an explanation for why you have MY guitar," Souta said while going through her bag.
"Deal," Kagome replied before seeing everyone's confused faces, except Sesshomaru who had a flash of curiousness go through his eyes.
"You'll see," was all the answer they got before Kagome and Souta sat down with their instruments on either side of Rin.
"Which song?" Souta asked.
"Rockabye," was all the answer he needed.
(Kagome Souta Both)
Call it love
Call it mom's adoration
Foundation
A special bond of creation, ha
For all the single mom's out there
Going through frustration
Sing, make them hear
Everyone was amazed by the way the siblings could play in sync and that Souta had a great singing voice. But what they heard next amazed them even more.
She works the night, by the water
She's gone astray, so far away
From her father's daughter
She just wants a life for her baby
All on her own, no one will come
She's got to save them
Kagome had the voice of an angel. Even Souta was surprised as Kagome never sang this emotionally before. This song was his favourite, he even had Kagome sing it to him every night, but she never sang with this much emotion before.
Daily struggle
She tells him 'Ohh, love, no one's ever gonna hurt you love.
I'm gonna give you all of my love.
Nobody matters like you.'
Stay out there, stay out there
She tells him 'your life, ain't gonna be nothing like my life.
Your gonna grow and have a good life.
I'm gonna do what I've got to do.'
Stay out there, stay out there
So rockabye baby, rockabye. I'm gonna rock you.
Rockabye baby don't you cry
Somebody's got you
So rockabye baby, rockabye. I'm gonna rock you.
Rockabye baby don't you cry
Rockabye, no
Rockabye-rocka-rocka-rocka-bye
Rockabye, yeah, oh, oh
Rockabye-rocka-rocka-rocka-bye
Single mama, you doing out there
Facing the hard life without no fear, yeah
Just so you know that you really care
'Cause any obstacle come you're well prepared,
Oh, no
No, mama, you never shed tear
'Cause you have to shed things year after year
And you give the youth love beyond compare, yeah
You find his school fee and the bus fare, yeah
Mmm, Marie, the pops' disappear
In the round back can't find him nowhere
Steadily you work flow, everything you know
Say you nah stop no time – no time for your jear
Now she got a six-year-old
Trying to keep him warm
Trying to keep out the cold
When he looks in her eyes
He don't know he is safe
When she says, "Ooh, love, no one's ever gonna hurt you, love.
I'm gonna give you all of my love.
Nobody matters like you."
So, rockabye baby, rockabye, I'm gonna rock you
Rockabye baby, don't you cry
Somebody's got you
Rockabye baby, rockabye, I'm gonna rock you
Rockabye baby, don't you cry
Oh-badda-bang-bang-bang, alright then
Rockabye, no
Rockabye-rocka-rocka-rocka-bye
Rockabye, yeah, oh, oh
Rockabye-rocka-rocka-rocka-bye
Rockabye, don't bother cry
Lift up your head, lift it up to the sky
Rockabye, don't bother cry
Angels surround you, just dry your eye
Now she got a six-year-old
Trying to keep him warm
Trying to keep out the cold
When he looks in her eyes
He don't know he is safe when she says...
She tells him, "Ooh, love, no one's ever gonna hurt you, love.
I'm gonna give you all of my love.
Nobody matters like you."
Stay out there, stay out there
She tells him, "Your life ain't gonna be nothing like my life. Stay.
You're gonna grow and have a good life.
I'm gonna do what I've got to do."
So, rockabye baby, rockabye
Rockabye-rocka-rocka-rocka-bye
I'm gonna rock you
Rockabye baby, don't you cry
Rockabye-rocka-rocka-rocka-bye
Somebody's got you
Rockabye baby, rockabye
Rockabye-rocka-rocka-rocka-bye
I'm gonna rock you
Rockabye baby, don't you cry
Oh-badda-bang-bang-bang, alright then
Rockabye
Rockabye, don't bother cry

Angels surround you, just dry your eye, yeah
Rockabye, don't bother cry, no
Lift up your head, lift it up to the sky, oh
Rockabye, don't bother cry
Angels surround you, just dry your eye
When the song finished, Shippo and Rin were asleep and the rest of the group, excluding Sesshomaru, looked stunned.
"What's wrong? And please be quiet," Kagome asked.
"Since when could you sing like that?" Sango hissed.
"Yes, lady Kagome. I too would like to know when you could sing like that," Miroku added.
"Yeah Kagome. You never sang with that much emotion before," Souta pointed out.
"I have always been able to sing like that. And it had more emotion for two reasons. 1) Rin is a little girl in this time, and 2) my time is almost up," Kagome said.
The last reason got EVERYONES attention.
"It can't be. How long do we have left?" Souta asked with a worried expression.
"What do you mean 'your time is almost up'? You're not dying yet, are you?" Sango asked with a worried expression.
"Your powers seem healthy," Miroku pointed out.
"You don't smell like death. Explain," Sesshomaru added with his eyes narrowing.
"You IDIOT! Why did you tell them?" Souta asked with their link.
"Ok. I am going to answer your questions in order. In four months. I'm not exactly dying, which would explain why my powers and smell if healthy, I'm just being…. Reborn," Kagome answered. "And I told them because you wanted me to start to tell them, so I'll start here. We need to go home tomorrow too please," Kagome said.
"Fine," Inuyasha spat out.
Little did they know what was going to happen tomorrow.
