To chelsea34, do not worry, I am not cutting some of the characters off…just yet…I still have a lot of explaining for every character…I was just getting back to Gorou. Thank you for the comment.
Chapter VII Reborn
The moon rose high above the land as the winds howled a gloomy song, filling the air with a cool breeze of early winter. A dark shadow of movement was seen in the grass behind the trees.
Skin and muscle tearing, shifting, reshaping, and growing into a ball of gray flesh. Then ripping out of the mangled blob was a form…a demon seeking, wanting the image in his mind…that woman…that miko…
He stood up and slowly walked into the forest in search of her…
Kagome sat in her bed for the past week, as her injuries were healing up nicely. Rin would come and visit her daily, asking her questions about Kagome's family and friends.
"So Kagome nee-chan has a brother?" asked Rin.
"Yes, a younger brother, and a mother and grandfather. They're very dear to me. I miss them greatly."
"Yea…Rin misses her older brother, mother and father. They were killed by bandits a long time ago." Said Rin as she frown lightly.
"Oh Rin-chan, I'm so sorry…" Kagome said.
Rin then looked up at Kagome then smiled, "It's okay, because Rin has Sesshomaru, Jaken and now Kagome nee-chan!"
Kagome smiled warmly. Rin is such a bright and sweet young girl, with a vivid imagination. Yet Rin kind of reminded her of her adopted son Shippo. She wondered how he was doing along with Sango and Miroku, even Inuyasha.
"Kagome nee-chan?" Rin said.
Kagome was brought out of her thoughts and answered Rin, "Yes Rin-chan?"
"Do you like Sesshomaru-Sama?" asked the innocent child.
"Like Sesshomaru?" Kagome said as she lightly blushed.
Kagome thought about it, she hasn't seen him since their last interaction together but she was told that Sesshomaru has order servants to her every need, and also he has taken care of Rin…so he must have some good in him.
"Yes, I believe I do like Sesshomaru-Sama." Lightly smiled Kagome.
Rin beamed with happiness.
"Kagome nee-chan…maybe once you feel better enough, maybe Rin and Kagome nee-chan can go pick flowers in the garden!" said Rin as she smiled brightly.
Kagome smiled at the girl, "Yes of course that would be lovely…"
Soon after there was a light tap on the screen door, Maeko walked in. "Rin it's time for bed."
"Aw…but Rin wants to spend more time with Kagome nee-chan!" pouted Rin.
"Ha…it's alright Rin-chan, tomorrow we'll go pick some flowers for Sesshomaru-Sama. I think I am well enough to walk now." Said Kagome as she placed her hand on top of Rin's head.
Rin turned and looked at Kagome, she smiled and hugged the miko tightly, "Yay!"
Kagome laugh heart-fully and then kissed Rin's forehead, "Goodnight Rin-chan"
Rin smiled then hopped off the bed and ran to the doorway, "Goodnight Kagome nee-chan!"
As Rin left Maeko was amazed, "You are so wonderful with her, I can imagine that you will make a fine mother one day."
"Thank you, Maeko." Smiled Kagome.
"In fact I do have a son, an adopted kitsune." Smiled Kagome.
Maeko's eyes widen, "You adopted a demon?"
"Yes…I know it might be a little strange, but I love him as if he was my own." Said Kagome with love.
Maeko smiled, "You truly have a pure heart Miss Kagome."
Kagome blushed at the compliment. "Thank you."
"Well then, I've prepared you a nice bath for the evening, would you like one?" asked Maeko.
"Oh yes! I would love one!" smiled Kagome.
Maeko then helped Kagome out of bed and walked her down the hall to the next room, as they entered Kagome gasped.
It was an opened room with a build in hot spring with marble stone and crystal-clear waters.
There were pots of orchids surrounding the spring and sakura petals in the water.
Maeko helped Kagome undress out of her night kimono and onto the edge of the hot spring. She then removed the silk wrapping around Kagome's arms and leg. Then placed them aside. She then poured a small pot of the spring's water filled with violets onto Kagome's back and body. Kagome lightly moaned by the warmth and how good it felt. Maeko then helped Kagome slip into the spring and offered her some oils for her hair and skin.
Maeko then got up and left Kagome, "If you need anything or need help getting out just call me Miss Kagome." Maeko said with a bow.
"Alright, thank you Maeko."
Kagome leaned back into the warm waters and sighed. 'This feels like I'm in heaven…'
Kagome dunked under wetting her hair and running her fingers through her black locks. She then picked one of the oils that smelled of white roses and poured the liquid onto her palm and ran it through her scalp and rubbed onto her face.
"Sigh…This is great…" said Kagome as she rested in the water letting the salts and oils numb her sore body.
Inuyasha and gang were in the middle of battle with a furious ogre demon. It was strong…too strong. They fought the demon non-stop and they were growing tired. Inuyasha tried to use the wind scar but it didn't seem to kill the demon.
There was only one reason that could explain why the demon was so strong, it probably had hold of a shard of the scarred jewel.
"Argh!" yelled Inuyasha has he swung his sword.
Right then a scarred arrow shot through the air and stuck the ogre demon, he roared in pain as it turned into dust.
"Uh? K-kagome?!" said Inuyasha has he turned to where the arrow was shot.
Then from the shadows walked out Kikyo as she stared emotionlessly at the group.
Oh No, Kikyo's here, now what?
