Sesshomaru ran his feet barely touching the ground till he came to a clearing where Rin and the little imp were waiting. "My lord where have you been?" Rin asked as Sesshomaru stopped before he looked next to her. "Jaken we will be leaving for the western lands now." Sesshomaru said as his fluff took flight and he was off towards his castle home. Rin and Jaken jumped on the two headed dragon and took off after their lord. Rin watched as her lord held Kagome tight. "Jaken why do you think Lord Sesshomaru has Lady Kagome?" Rin asked her eyes bright. "I dare not ask that of the great Sesshomaru. Neither should you child what he does is none of our concern." Jaken snapped back his eyes on the girl as well.
Kagome woke in a dark room alone once again. She could feel the demon aura all around then as she was about to sit she felt the hole in her chest. Kagome froze in pain as she remembered it all now. "I gave him an open shot why didn't he take it." Kagome said out loud as she tried to lie back down. Kagome closed her eyes as her tears started to fall. "I was going to end it…….now what?" Kagome thought as she felt a body above her. "You were going to kill yourself." Kagome opened her eyes to see the demon dog standing in the dark. "I was going to end this for us all." Kagome answered her head starting to spin as she tried to sit up. "You think giving up your life and soul would make that half-breed happy. You are as stupid as the others." Sesshomaru said getting ready to walk out. "That demons heart is within me to kill him means my life!" Kagome screamed her plan again set. "I figured that. Rests up for you are now mine to command. Once you are well you will be Rin's guard."Sesshomaru answered as he walked out the door. Kagome was left her heart beating faster he knew about the heart and he wasn't going to end it and he knew how to keep her from ending it herself.
Rin stood in her lord's room while Jaken was jumping around. "He called us to his room. What is he going to tell us?" Jaken said over and over his staff swinging as he walked. Rin smiled she had no fear she knew that Kagome was safe she saw it in her lords eyes. "He is going to tell us about Lady Kagome Jaken that is all" Rin said in a sweet tone. Jaken stared at the girl. "That woman should not be here her friends were right there why do we have her?" Jaken yelled at Rin then a hand came down on the top of his head. Rin smiled. "My lord how nice to see you today." Rin said as she moved so Sesshomaru could get to his desk. "Kagome is the key to killing Naraku." Rin froze and Jaken was taken back but Sesshomaru went on. "The girl was dumb for a moment and took in Naraku's heart and it has joined with her own. They are one and when Kagome dies so will Naraku." Again the two were in shock then did he bring her here to die is what they were thinking then Sesshomaru spoke again. "I cannot allow her to die till I know her soul will not be taken into the jewel along with Naraku. Rin she will be your body guard and friend for she has made a deal for those friends of hers. She will not run for if she does it would have to be to Naraku. Keep her alive Rin." Sesshomaru said as he then turned his back letting them know he was done. Rin walked out she had a big job ahead of her.
Inuyasha ran harder as the scent of Kagome was becoming thin in the air. "Slow down Inuyasha we have been running for so long." Sango yelled as Kirara landed and turned back into her kitten form. Koga landed in front of Inuyasha and in one move sent him flying back with a kick. "You stupid wolf did you see how badly she was hurt we have to get to her!" Inuyasha yelled as he got up Kikyo still on the ground. "Look we know how angry you must be but running till we pass out will do her no good. Your brother is heading back to his castle we know that by all the reports of people seeing a white demon going by holding what looked like a female." Kikyo yelled from the ground. Inuyasha froze then turned to help Kikyo up. "I just feel so powerless we haven't seen her in so long and something is off about her I know it." Inuyasha said as he looked towards the west. "This will take us some time but we have to believe that Sesshomaru will keep her alive." Sango said and the group sat to rest.
Kagome sat up her wounds were better and she had life to her once again. Kagome was about to open the door when she felt him outside the door. Kagome took a step back as Sesshomaru opened the door. "I see so you are awake. You may look around then you will report to my office." Then with those words Sesshomaru was gone. Kagome looked around she hoped he had already given her a weapon but he was smart and there was no weapon. Kagome took a breath and started to walk around the large castle. She was in deep thought till a small hand took hold of her hand. "Lady Kagome you look so much better." Rin said a large smile on her face. Kagome looked down and for the first time in a long time she smiled and felt light. "Why thank you Rin and how may I help you?" Kagome said she was to be this girl's guard she should start acting like it. Rin smiled she felt safe with Kagome and for the first time in a long time she almost felt like she was with her mom. "I would like to pick the wild flowers outside the castle wall." Kagome listened to the words then smiled. "Okay meet me in front of my room in about thirty minutes I must go talk to Lord Sesshomaru." Kagome said as Rin let go and went running back down the hall. Kagome was not going outside the castle walls without a weapon to protect them.
Kagome was about to knock on the door to Sesshomaru's office Jaken next to her. "Come in." The deep voice from inside said. Kagome opened the door Jaken walked ahead of her. Jaken stopped then gave a short bow to the lord Kagome stopped next to him and did the same. "Kagome you and that demon share a heart now." Kagome looked up. "Yes." Sesshomaru took a breath. "I would love to end this but I will not allow your soul to be doomed forever within the jewel." Kagome froze she had no idea that would be the outcome once she died. "But how…" Sesshomaru continued. "The jewel is not complete you hold part as does he. If you die now the jewel will become hole using your and Naraku's souls." Kagome nodded he seemed to actually care about her soul. "Now you will carry a weapon to protect you and Rin but do not be stupid and end your life." Kagome nodded once more then Sesshomaru got up pulling a sword from the top of his desk. "While you were healing I had this sword made for you. It's not like a normal human sword it was made by a demon to use your spiritual power. Use this well." Sesshomaru spoke as he handed Kagome the sword. Kagome was in shock but was able to speak. "I won't let you down my lord." Kagome then turned and walked out to her room.
Rin was sitting on Kagome's bed when she walked in. "Are you ready to get those flowers?" Kagome asked with a smile Rin jumped up and ran her grin wide then she stopped. Kagome turned as Sesshomaru was standing behind her. "That torn green kimono will not do, here." Sesshomaru handed Kagome a white kimono as he started to walk down the hall. Kagome smiled as she walking in to shut the door to her room and changed as she slipped the kimono on she saw the symbol on the back that showed her new lord. "That looks like the moon on Lord Sesshomaru's head." Rin said Kagome smiled as she slipped her sword into a loop on her left side then took Rin's hand. "Those flowers await." Kagome said and Rin held tight as the two walked out into the late afternoon sun. As they walked towards the gate the white figure of Sesshomaru appeared at the gate doors. "You know if you walk past the gate doors demons await you." Sesshomaru said to Kagome. "I do and like I said I won't let you down." Kagome answered as the two walked out the gate towards the flowers.
