chapter 4
Rin ran into the clearing and saw Kagome. "Lady Kagome! Lady Kagome!"
"Rin! Do not yell like the idiot child you are. Milord is too sensitive to noise for it." "Jaken." He cowers and bows, "milord." Sesshomaru stood up and kicked him in the head. "Rin. Lady Kagome does not remember a lot of us. She was affected by some unknown problem." She pouted "does this mean she don't remember me?" "I don't know." She gets tears in her eyes. "Rin sad, my lord. I don't want her to forget me." Kaede stepped in when Sesshomaru started to get uncomfortable. "Do not worry child, she will remember ye in due time, her body's been in trauma." "Most of which was Inuyasha's and his Clay Pot's doing." All of them froze. "What do ye mean, milord?" "When her friends weren't around, they beat her and tortured her." "Why do ye say that?" "Everytime her friends left, ClayPot and Inuyasha beat her. Afterwards, she came to find me so I could help her heal and so she could talk. This Sesshomaru always made her tell me what had transpired to get that bad a beating. Everytime it had something to do with ClayPot and the baka hanyou, shortly after the taijiya, houshi,and neko youkai left. Little kitsune left with the neko youkai or was with you or Koga, so when they left the Baka's attacked." Kagome starts to stir and Inuyasha goes to pull her away from Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru growled at him but he doesn't get the picture and still tries to grab her. Sesshomaru stood up with Kagome in his arms and turned away from him. "Hanyou. You would be better off leaving my mate-to-be alone and not trying to take her from me." "She's not your anything! She doesn't want you!" Just then a whirlwind arrived, transporting Koga. "What did you do to my woman?" She wakes up and asked "who are you?" She looked around and asked "Sess, who are these people? What do they want with me?" He leaned down and nuzzled her neck. "No worries. They are your friends." "I asked you a question." "I did nothing to my female. My baka half-brother and his ClayPot was the ones who harmed my mate, stupid ookami.""Milord! You can't be serious about taking that wench as your mate!" "Jaken."He cowers. "Yes milord?"Sesshomaru kicked him upside the head. "You will speak with respect when you talk of my mate." Koga yelled "she is not your mate!" "Sess?" "Yes, koishii?" She leaned up to his ear and whispers, very softly,"when are we going to your castle?" He growled softly, "whenever you are ready to, koishii." Inuyasha interjects, "what are you two talking about?" Sesshomaru purrs and says "if you will excuse us, we are going away now."Koga and Inuyasha stepped in his path. "Where do you think you're going, Sesshomaru?""That is no concern of yours, half breed." The taijiya asked "where are you taking her Lord Sesshomaru?" "Away from half breed and ClayPot." Inuyasha growled, everyone else laughed, including Kagome. "Who started calling her that?" "My Kagome did after the two of you snuck around behind her back too much." Kagome passed out and Sesshomaru catches her before she hit the ground and before anyone else can react. She whispers repeatedly "Sess..Sess." She started to remember everyone and all the events leading up to that moment. She turned and when she opened her eyes looked at Sesshomaru. "Sessh... omaru. My meito?" Everyone gasped save Sesshomaru. "Yes. Your meito. Have you gained your memory then?" She nods. "My kuuai meito. Soon to be my meito. Hai?" "Hai."He leaned down and kissed the top of her head.
She leans on his chest and wraps her arms around him. "What happened to you koi?" "ClayPot put an amnesiac spell on me, making me forget most basic things.""Including walking?""Yes SanSan.""We smelled blood in the woods not far from the BoneEater Well.""My own clumsiness was used against me. I tripped trying to stay away from ClayPot and Inu-Hanyou-Baka.""Meaning?""Meaning that Inu was helping her." She looked at Sesshomaru and asked "May we go?" He nods. He wraps his arms around her and said "are you coming kit?""You will let me?" He nod. "Yay!" Shippo jumped on Sesshomaru's shoulder and he took off. Inuyasha hollered "You get back here with my Kagome, Sesshomaru!NOW!" Rin runs to Ah-Un and holler "Hurry up Master Jaken! They'll get away!" He hurried and got on Ah-Un's back and took to the sky after Lord Sesshomaru. He couldn't believe his Lord was consorting with a ningen. He would have thought his Lord smarter than his father but he guessed it was in his blood.
As the group vanished Koga got himself together and took off after them. They all headed West to the Western Castle to settle down there. They arrived at the castle two nights later.
Sesshomaru and Kagome was settled nicely into separate rooms when they felt visitors enter Sesshomaru's territory. When they felt the presence they immediately walked out into the hall and together went to meet their visitors.
