Hello, I'm the Lady of Gaia and the last chapter was...interesting.

Last time, it seems that Sesshomaru's mother plans to have a second child and Kagome is curious towards Kastu but is she interested in him?

Also what about Inuyasha and the rest of the gang?

Will I guess we will have to read to find out?

So enjoy the chapter, folks and review what you like about it!

Chapter 4: Questions and allies?

Inuyasha glared at the flea demon in his hand that insisted on being stubborn. "Myago, what is it that so important that you can't tell me?"Inuyasha snapped at the flea but Myoga did not bend. He was more scared of Inuyasha's mother than Inuyasha himself. "You need to know nothing on the matter of your mother, she died long ago. You need to move on, master Inuyasha." Myoga hoped that his words would make his master stop.

"It seemed to be otherwise from what that woman told us." Shippo said, who moved to look at Myoga, unaware that he had caught Myoga's interest as Inuyasha started trying to crush the flea in his hand. Somehow he managed to escape Inuyasha's hand and hopped up onto Sango's shoulder for protection."What was the woman like? Did she say her name?" Myoga asked his mind curious to know if the time had come to tell Inuyasha the truth of his mother.

oOo

Kagome frowned as she sat in the garden with onna-bugeisha around her and Takemaru. She refused to talk to anyone after the horrible morning that she awoke to. Kagome had awoken to find herself in Takemaru's arms again, taking her back to the castle that she had escaped from the night before. She fought him until he drew a dagger and held it to her throat to make her stop, he had apologised when they had returned but Kagome still slapped him for it.

Then the maids and onna-bugeisha were shrieking at her lack of appropriate clothes, quickly grabbing her and scolding for her lack of appropriate clothes and for slapping Takemaru as they dragged her away. They continued to scold her about her behavior towards her Betters or in other words the stupid men that thought she was their new bedroom toy. Kagome almost laughed at them when she said as much, the maids and onna-bugeisha blushed and shuddered, trying to continue their scolding of her. "Of course you would know that, you have probably been with hundreds of men in your lifetime."One the bold ones said with a blush, Kagome had turned to look at that woman."I'm a virgin," Kagome said, unusual blunt but she didn't like being called a whore and saw fit to correct the poor woman on the matter.

Looking at the flowers, she wondered how she was going to give her jailers the slip. She could fly away but the bastard lord had informed her after she was appropriately dressed that his archers would shoot her down and she couldn't create a barrier because they had forced a bracelet that sealed that part of her power up. She seriously wanted to run away from this place but the problem was how?

With a sigh, Kagome fell backwards onto the grass and stared up at the sky. She could feel Katsu's presence outside the castle walls; she knew he was close by and watching her but Kagome knew he wasn't an option either at this point. He maybe the father of her best friend and pro-human but she wasn't sure about this alliance that he wanted to form with her, and she just knew that he would demand she join the alliance for his help.

She had gotten this weird feeling the last few times that she had been around him; she liked but also disliked the feeling, it was just confusing when she tried to sort her feelings out. God, why did her life have to be so difficult...wait, she remembered, it was because the stupid Celestial maidens turned her into one of them. Lost deep in her thoughts, she only noticed the Lord when he blocked her view of the sky. "Unhappy, my Celestial maiden?" The question needed no answer. Of course, she was unhappy; she was trapped in an idiot's castle and could see her virgin days were soon to be over, and she had wanted her first time to be special too. There went that dream.

"Quite so," she replied as she imagined shooting arrows into his plain face. He reached out to touch her face but she slapped his skinny hand away, It was kind of funny when she thought about it, the old Lord was as fat as you could imagine and when she thought about it, she felt pity for the horse but was impressed with its strength to hold up the old Lord and her. But the old Lord's son was skinner than a toothpick. "I see...perhaps when you carry our first son, and then you will be happy." He said, sending chills down Kagome's spine at the thought.

"I think I would be happier dead than have you touch me with a twenty feet pole." Kagome said calmly before getting up and was about to walk away but he grabbed her. She was starting to really get sick of being manhandled. "You belong to me! Don't forget that," the Lord said before slapping her across the face. She glared at him, angry that she couldn't defend herself from this jerk. After a moment the Lord left and the onna-bugeisha surrounded her, scolding her for her rude behavior toward the Lord of the castle.

She ignored them and walked away with them quick to follow, unaware of the murderous thoughts that filled Katsu's and Takemaru's head. They both wanted to kill the Lord for his mistreatment of Kagome, though Takemaru thought that she deserved it for her behavior.

Katsu watched Kagome as she moved about the garden the whole day, in the kimono of noblewomen, the blue silk went beautifully with the sapphire beads in her hair. But when he looked into her face, he felt as if a demon as strong as himself had just kicked him in the gut and he didn't like the feeling. Her face was so sad and had a sense of hopelessness to it, he had feared that the stallion in her had been broken until the skinny little bastard of a Lord came and she stood her ground even though he had hit her.

"Myoga, I want you to go tell Kagome that I will meet her in the garden at nightfall. I want you to talk to her and learn everything that you can of her," Katsu ordered his servant, who nodded and hopped off to do as ordered. Katsu watched Kagome be taken inside the castle by the onna-bugeisha, feeling sure that it was going to be a long wait for nightfall.

oOo

Kagome was lead back to the room that she had awoken in the night before, to find an old woman in a fine green kimono with pink flowers beside a futon as well as a tray of food. Feeling that she wasn't going to like what was to come, Kagome tried to turn around and run away but the onna-bugeisha grabbed her arms and forced her to the futon. The old woman glared at Kagome sternly."You will eat your dinner than undress; you will be given a massage before my son comes to you in a while." The old woman told her, Kagome froze on the spot when the old woman's words reached her brain.

The women left Kagome alone in her frozen state; she didn't come out of her frozen state until she noticed Kamiko was eating her dinner. "Get me out of here," Kagome seethed, angry for too many reasons at the moment. "I have to find a way out of this place and you being here is not helping me!"

Kamiko glanced at the angry Kagome and wanted to run away but had to do her job...she just hoped Kagome could control her mood swings. "That's why I'm here. Myoga is going to hop in here in a second and talk to you about the alliance, take the offer and ask for help in getting out of here." Kamiko said before disappearing with the tray of food. Kagome stared at the spot that Kamiko sat as her mind repeated over and over, 'I'm doomed!' until Myoga hopped onto her shoulder.

"Greeting Lady Kagome, I'm Myoga the flea, servant-" Kagome cut him off.

"To the Lord of the West, what does your master want?" She knew what the Lord of the West wanted but she wasn't going to make it that easy for him. She was in trouble and needed Katsu's help but she would rather lose her virginity to the loser Lord than let Katsu think he was her only hope though he was at this point. "My Lord wishes for you to join him as an ally, he wishes to make this world a place of peace for both humans and demons. My Lord couldn't say that with his son around, the young Lord despises humans for their weakness."Myoga explained.

Kagome lifted her left arm and pulled back the sleeve of the kimono to show Myoga the black beaded bracelet on her wrist that sealed her power to create barriers away. "This is sealing my power away; I can't escape or help him until it is removed from me. If he comes right now and removes it then I will agree to his alliance." Kagome told Myoga calmly. Myoga looked at the bracelet; it would be nothing for his master to remove it.

"I will go in a bit to tell my master your request. But I must ask, why leave? It looks like you would be well cared for here, with good food, fine clothes so why?" Myoga asked, trying to fulfill his master's order. Kagome looked at him, how Myoga could ask her that was beyond her, this wasn't her world and she desired to see her friends and family again. Kagome didn't wish to be locked away in a birdcage when her heart longed to be free, but she was at the moment in a beautiful cage with people to take care of her. "I wish to simply return home to my family and friends, to my archery skills to protect people from evil demons but I can't when I'm locked in a cage. I wish to be free again..." Kagome whispered as a lone tear run down her cheek.

Myoga saw the sadness in her eyes, and felt compelled to help her as best he could. "I will bring my master to help you as fast as I can." With that said Myoga hopped off her shoulder and quickly went to his master, unaware of the tears that spilled from her blue eyes and run down her cheeks.

Katsu was surprised when Myoga begged him to go and help Kagome, surprised but oddly happy. He began to wonder what Kagome was doing to him with her scent and personality; he was beginning to wonder if he should distance himself from her a little. But when Myoga told him of Kagome's desire to be free and the lone tear that followed it, he wasn't able to control his body as he transformed into his true demon form and ran down to the castle. When he reached the gates, he jumped over them, he started changing back to his other form, the guards shot their arrows at him, hoping to slow him down or hit a spot that take him down. "Kagome!" Katsu shouted before finding Kagome's scent in the garden, he followed it into the castle and quickly found Kagome's room.

Katsu opened the door to see onna-bugeisha and maids around Kagome, the onna-bugeisha were shaking but held their ground, the maids held onto a struggling Kagome as tears spilled down her cheeks. "Let me go!" She shouted at them but they did not listen to her and told her that she belonged to their Lord. The tears filled Katsu with a rage that he had never felt before.

But before Katsu could take a step into the room, Kagome burst into a sphere blue light, forcing the maids and onna-bugeisha away from her. Everyone in the room suddenly began to cry, somehow feeling the pain and sorrow that filled Kagome's heart, it felt as Kagome's emotions were ripping their hearts from their very chests. They had realized that they were in the wrong to tell her that she belonged to the Lord; they should have realized that men had no real hold on them; they felt that Kagome's emotions and light were purifying them of the ideas of this time and felt free like a bird for the first time. The light slowly faded to show Kagome dressed just like she did when she first appeared in this time with the exception of the circlet having two diamonds on each side of the sapphire and the bracelet that was sealing some of her powers.

Everyone was speechless to the sight of Kagome before them. She walked to Katsu and held out her left arm to him to show him the bracelet; she looked at him with such hope in her blue eyes that he was lost to them in their depths. When he looked away from her eyes to look down at the black bracelet that ruined the beauty before, gently he touched her arm and they both felt fire rush through their blood and veins, burning them from the inside but there was no pain. They looked into each other's eyes again, gold against deep ocean blue, they felt caged but free, pain but pleasure, sorrow but happiness, and they didn't understand what going inside themselves. But it all ended the moment Katsu removed the bracelet and the touch of skin was lost to them, freeing Kagome from her cage.

Kagome looked down at her left arm; she was free again, free from the stupid Lord. She looked up at Katsu again and smiled a smile that had his breathe caught in his throat. "Shall we go, my Lord of the West?" She asked but all he could do was nod, they walked out of the castle to face the Lord's army and an angry Lord.

But Kagome felt no fear towards the army of humans and Katsu wanted to laugh at the thought that the humans before him were enough to stop him from taking his prize away. "You will leave demon!" The Lord shouted at Katsu, his spit flying in the air of his rage.

oOo

Sesshomaru watched his mother pace calmly in the garden, anyone but him; they would see the lady as calm and enjoying the flowers that grew there. But Sesshomaru saw different, his mother was in a barely controlled rage because the Celestial maiden from last night. His mother's heat was over and his father had never planted his seed inside her womb meaning Sesshomaru was going to have to practice on the humans or the servants' children.

Sesshomaru was not happy either when he thought about it; he had been unable to break the Celestial maiden's barrier. It made him appear weak before his father, Sesshomaru would kill the Celestial maiden the next time he saw her.

His mother couldn't get the Celestial maiden out of her mind; she had dared to ruin her mating with her mate then had the guts to demand the robe from her. The demoness fumed over the fact that her mate had never given her his seed; he had instead followed the Celestial maiden away from the cloud palace. She would kill the Celestial maiden the moment her scent reached her perfect nose. The demoness looked at the Himalayan blue poppies that her mate stared at the other day, she realized the flowers' petals were very close to the Celestial maiden's eye colour. With a whip of light like her son's, she destroyed the flowers.

oOo

Kagome calmly walked over to the Lord, a sweet smile on her face and a nasty treat in mind. She stood in front of the Lord with her sweet smile for a moment or two before she kicked him in the balls with all her might, hoping to leave him impound. When she walked back to Katsu, she began to float as he created a cloud at his feet. They flew away with the Lord weeping over the pain, Takemaru watched them as he cursed the demon in his mind.

Kagome flew ahead of Katsu in the sky, happy and content to be free again. Katsu watched her, feeling joy from her own happiness, he knew that he was lost to her when he had touched her skin and felt the fire burn inside him.

"Kagome, I apologies but we have things to discuss." Katsu called out, Kagome glanced back at him and slowed her pace for him to fly to her side."What do we need to discuss?" Kagome asked the wind felt amazing as it went through her hair, the beads in her hair for some odd reason sounded like a wind chime when they hit each other. She also felt like a kid again, free from the earth below her and the annoying people that saw her only as an object, she wanted to never land again. "I wish for you to fight beside me in a battle against demons from the Continent to protect this land." He told her calmly, Kagome looked at him and thought about it.

She didn't know if that was the right move but he have helped her escape with her virginity. So she did owe him one, Kagome stared down at the earth below her. There were thousands of lives that would be saved if she helped him, and what would happen if she didn't? Could those thousands of people die if she didn't help him? She couldn't let that happen.

Katsu watched her; he could see she was deep in thought of what to do. Her face was radiant in the sunlight with her mind deep in thought, her emotions plain for the world to see and her thoughts like an open book that he could read to his heart's content. He was about to tell her that she didn't have to tell him right away when she suddenly began to drop from the sky. Shocked, he moved to save her when she stopped falling. Katsu suddenly realized that he couldn't remember being that scared before as he just was.

What was she to him?

When she came back up, she had a glare in her eye for him and he suddenly had a feeling that he was in trouble. "I have a question for you...how did you get my robe?" Kagome asked her mind now full of questions. She had been knocked out by someone's sword hilt and couldn't remember a thing, what had happened to her, how had her robe come into Katsu's possession, how had the humans kept breaking her barriers and importantly, why had her robe be wrapped around that nuke demoness; her mind and curiosity demanded answers for her questions though Katsu was likely only able tell her a few answers.

Katsu had a feeling that if he answered, he would be royal screwed. "I had reached out for you but the human picked you up, I had grabbed onto your robe instead. It fell away from your body and I had decided to care for it until I could return it to you." He explained to her when a look of irritation came to her face. "Then why was it wrapped around that demoness?"

"That woman has a mind of her own, she often likes going through my possessions. And I can't get rid of her." He told her, the look of irritation slowly melted away like snow in spring.

"I see...Well in any case, I'll help you fight the demons. Just come and get me when its time, kay?" Kagome said before flying away from him. Katsu followed her, he wasn't about to let her go that easy. "I think you should stay with me. I wouldn't have to come looking for you that way." He called out. Kagome stopped and turned around to face him. "I'm heading for the Bone Eater's Well, it may return me to my home...if it can't than I'll seek you out but before that I have to see if it can." Kagome flew off again but he followed her but at a slower pace, he didn't want her to leave him yet. Kagome wasn't something that he could tame that quickly, she had been a caged spirit that he had freed and allied herself with but he knew that she felt unease about some things that centered around him. He didn't know what was going on with himself but he did know that it was centered on Kagome.

It didn't mean that he wasn't going to follow her; he had an odd feeling that following her would benefit him later. Kagome was well aware of Katsu following her and had decided that he could follow her, having an odd feeling that doing so would benefit her later.

Kagome was happy and content to be free again but it slowly faded, her happiness and contentment was stained with her sorrow of missing her family and friends. She was free from the horrible Lord but not her own sorrow; she hoped deeply that she could return to her loved ones through the Well because she didn't know where to look otherwise. Well, she would cross that bridge when she came to it... hoping she didn't have to.

"My Lord!" Myoga called out as he flew to Katsu on a hawk. Katsu glanced at the hawk and held his arm out for Myoga to jump on, to which the flea demon did. "What is it, Myoga?" Katsu asked, finding it hard to believe that something big could happen in less than two hours. "My Lord, your lady mate is destroying the countryside. No one but the young Lord Sesshomaru seems to know why she is in such a rage." Apparently something big could happen in less than two hours. But why to him alone?

Kagome glanced back to see Katsu flying away from her, oddly disappointed by him doing so, she continued heading to the Bone Eater's Well.

oOo

"I see, so she called herself Chika and seemed to have interesting powers." Myoga said, understanding that it was time to do the final duty that his master had left to do. Everyone stood around Myoga, curious to serious look on his face.

Myoga looked up at Inuyasha, he could see both his master and mistress perfectly mixed together in their beloved son. He couldn't help but feel old as memories of his master going off to battle with his lover at his side; the two alone were both greatly powerful but together were undefeatable. Both were kind and good people at heart, and deeply in love with each other at first glance, though his mistress denied it for many years. She had at first, been very confused about her feelings towards the great dog demon but when she had realized that she was in love with him, she had become scared and sad.

Oh how his master had wondered what had plagued her of her smile, worried that her sorrow of missing her loved ones was what was wrong with her.

"Well Myoga, do you know her or not?" Inuyasha asked, tired of waiting. Myoga could see that Inuyasha had inherited his mother's rare showed impatience through and through. "Yes, I know because of your mother, master Inuyasha. Chika was one of your mother's attendants and a good friend as well, she was one of a very few people who was allowed to hold you as a baby." Myoga told Inuyasha as he remembered the nickname that she had given him. "I don't...remember my mother having any friends because of me." Inuyasha muttered as he tried remembering his childhood. But all he could remember was his mother's tears and how she died in front of him. "Why can't I remember?"Inuyasha asked himself aloud.
