"And since you know you cannot see yourself, so well as by reflection, I, your glass, will modestly discover to yourself, that of which you yet know not of." -William Shakespeare

"Kagome, where the hell have you been? You realize now that we have to leave tomorrow."
"Don't yell at me half breed. You have your bitch for that and I no longer answer to you. So don't worry about what I do."
"Don't talk about Kikyo, and you belong to me. So where the hell were you?" Kagome just laughed and walked off.
"You bring a disgrace to our fathers' bloodline half breed. You can't even keep your own bitch in line. How sad." Sesshomaru said appearing from around the corner.
"Shut up…she's not my bitch, just a piece of property." Inuyasha explained.
"That's even worse, you can't even keep your own property in line." Sesshomaru said before he departed.
~With the others~
"Hey Kagome, who's this?" Miroku questioned as he pointed at the young child.
"Hmm?…Oh this is Pyro. He was being attacked by some of the villagers and I brought him back with me."
"So where's his parents?" Sango questioned.
"No longer alive. So he'll be traveling with us. I just hope we can get him to open up to humans. But for now we'll work with what we have." Kagome explained
"Mommy, Rin is sleepy." Rin explained rubbing her eyes.
"Oh, and is your brother Shippo, sleepy as well?"
"No(yawn) I'm fully awake.(yawn)"
"Uh huh…Sango?"
"I'm on it. C'mon you guys, I'm going to put you in your bed while Pyro and your momma goes eat."
"Okay…"Both kids complained.
"Come Pyro, lets go see where Jiro is." Kagome said as she started to walk away.
"Master Jiro?"
"Yes? Oh my lady…please just call me Jiro."
"(smiles) Okay, well Jiro, can we please get something to eat?"
"Why of course please just this way." Jiro said as he directed them to the kitchen.
~Half an hour later~
"Um…excuse me miss but what do we do now?" Pyro said barely above a whisper.
"My name is Kagome. Why don't we go take a bath? I'm sure you would love to take one." Kagome said as she walked further away from Pyro.
"Please…please don't leave me alone. I don't want to be alone anymore." Pyro begged.
"Shh…it's okay I wasn't going to leave you sweetie. C'mon lets go take a bath then we can go lay down with Shippo and Rin. I know we both need the sleep."
'This poor pup.'
'I wonder what happened? Or what did he see to make him this way?'
Kagome slid the door open to reveal Sango leaning against the bed as Rin and Shippo slept.
"Sango…Sango wake up." Kagome whispered slightly pushing her.
"Kagome?"
"Shh…thanks for watching them. You can go to your own room now. Kiara, make sure she gets there safely okay."
"Meow." Was the last thing heard in the room before complete silence took over.
'When are you going to tell them?'
'I have a feeling that the clay pot and half breed have a plan to get rid of me which will cause me to reveal everything very soon.'
'And what of the sexy beast next door?'
'If he figures it out by himself then good for him. But he will have to wait.'
'You know that he will not go for that. His curiosity always gets the best of him. Which might cause us to spill this little secret before hand.'
'If it comes to that then I will just have to out smart him.'
'Ha, as if you could. He always gets what he wants.'
'I'm so glad that you have that much faith in me.'
'Someone is at the door. We'll pick this up later.'
'I'm sure we will.' Kagome said to her beast before communications were cut off.
"Come in…"
"Miko, why do you not sleep?"
"It seems that I can not sleep this night my lord."
"Why can you not sleep?"
"Though this is a safe environment and I know you are more than capable to take out anyone. I still do not trust that clay pot or half breed that reside downstairs."
"Hn."
'She trust us. Mate trust.'
'She is not our mate and she only believes in our strength.'
'Mate mine! Will be mine! I will not have no other!'
'Go away or this Sesshomaru shall lock you up!'
'Fine but mate mine!'
"Lord Sesshomaru?" Kagome called out breaking his trance.
"…" Signaling her to continue.
"If your half brother betrays me more than he originally has and decides to leave the group…Would you mind to take the lead and become our alpha?"
'Does this girl not know what the true meaning of the question is?'
"If this Sesshomaru were to become the alpha male, would you your friends not follow the half breed, miko?"
"Though they are faithful to him. They are more loyal to me and will probably follow me anyway."
"Then why do you not take the position to lead miko?"
"…sigh…Though I'm sure I can lead them. We would be better off with someone who knows the lands, and has more years of battle knowledge. For not all of us are highly skilled with weapons besides you and Sango. Thus it shall be our downfall, this is why an alpha male is needed."
"Will you submit?"
"In the past I may have but I refuse to submit now."
'Interesting…'
'Mate smart, and beautiful.'
"Go to bed, we will be leaving late noon tomorrow."
"Good night Sesshomaru." Kagome whispered before passing out.
~With Others~
"Inuyasha, why do we keep my copy around? She is not needed."
"Kikyo, she is needed. She's the only one who can see the jewels and if we decided to make her an outcast my friends will follow her. Even my half brother would. So for now we'll keep her."
"Do you still harbor feelings for that girl, Inuyasha?"
"I never felt anything for her Kikyo, only for you. I only kept her around because she could see the shards."
'Good, his loyalty still remains with me.'
"Promise me that you'll never go back to her when she's finally gone."
"There's no reason for me to back to her."
Dark angel: Finally finished this chapter and I would like to thank those who congratulated me on my pregnancy. I only have three more months left and I'm glad about it.
Sesshomaru: Human would you stop your babbling and get started on the next chapter.
Dark angel: Only if you ask nicely.
Inuyasha: Yeah, right like the bastard is going to do that.
Dark angel: well?
Sesshomaru: Hn.
Dark angel: sigh…I should've known better. Well until next time readers.
