CHAPTER 7: Changes
(Third Person Point Of View
- Surrounding Inuyasha's Group)

It have been almost five months since Kagome, and things in the group had become strained. While Inuyasha seemed prefectly fine with Kikyou trying to take Kagome's place, that other were not. Whenevert Kikyou(or has Sango liked to call her 'the undead clay pot with leg') tried to touch little Shippo or Kirara, the lillte demons had taken to hissed at her until she left them alone. When she tried to meditate with Miroku, he mysteriously had to check-out an arua he felt from outside the camp; and the one and only time Kikyou tried to talk with Sanga, she was told that unless her 'clay harden ass' wanted to find of how it feels like to shatter into a hundred little piece, she had better stay away. Needless to stay Kikyou and Sango travel on oppisite sides of the group.

Finally one day everything boiled over, and all hell broke loose.

"If that little clay bitch tries one more time to steal Kagome's place, I'll-" Sango threated, wanting nothing more that to let off some stream with her Hiraikotsu.

"How can I steal that which is mine," Kikyou said, and Miroku had to grab Sango to keep her from destroy the clay priestess.

"Get it through your head already, you insane clay bitch, YOU ARE DEAD! Kagome didn't steal anything from you," Sango screamed.

"Leave her alone, Sango," Inuyasha said, stepping in front of Kikyou.

"You, traitor, if Kagome was here-" Sango said.

"Well, she not here is she," Inuyasha said, then slapped the back of his neck. He pulled his hand froward, and there was Myouga.

"Hello, Master Inuyasha," Myouga said, "How goes the search for Naraku?"

"Well, if it isn't the little coward," Inuyasha said, picking up the little flea by his head and brought him up to his face, "Where the hell have you been for the pass few months?"

"Mostly with Totosai," Myyouga said, squimming around trying to free himself. With a sign Inuyasha place the flea in the palm of his hand.

"What were you doing when you weren't with Totosai," Inyuasha asked.

" I've traveled a bit as well, looking for news and information," the flea said.

"Find anything good," Inuyasha asked, annoyed.

"Actually, yes, Master Inuyasha. It is rumored your brother is preparing to take a mate," the flea said, and Inuyasha's jaw dropped along with everyone else in the group, except Kikyou.

"And what makes the news even more incredible is that it's rumored no even to be a youkai...but a human," the flea said, and Kikyou's eyes widen a little. 'It couldn't be the girl...all this is, is a wild rumor.' She thought.

"Where's the punch line, Myouga," Inuyasha said, "He hates humans, in case you've forgotten, you stupid flea."

"I only speak the truth of what I know, Master Inuyasha," Myouga said, and with that, he jumped onto his crow, who'd swooped down for him, and disappeared into the sky.

"I'll find you again, Master, when I have more information for you," Myouga called out before dissappearing from sight.

"Hn," he said disgustedly, bending down in front of Kikyou so she could climb onto his back, "Let's go. I think it's time to track down that brother of mine. I want to see if these rumors of him having a human mate are true."

(Kagome's Point Of View:)

"Kagome...Kagome," Rin called, as she ran from the flower garden towards me as I headed back to room after my morning training with Amara.

"Hello, Rin," I said, as the she wrapped her arms around my waist.

"I made this for you, Kagome," Rin said, as she held up a flower necklace.

"It's beautiful, Rin," I said, putting on the necklace, "So what do you have planned for the day?"

"Master Jaken is taking me to get a new kimono in a nearby village...so bye," she said, running off. I smiled at her little antics. Then I sighed as my thoughts turned to less happy avenues. Rin was eight years old. Half way to be a woman by fuedal era standards. What was I going to do? Sesshoumaru only wanted me here to teach Rin, and when that is done, what will become of me?

With another sigh, I pulled the Shikon Jew from it's place under my kimono. I still had to finished finding all the places to the jew shards and defeat Naraku, but then what? Return home? The fuedal era was feeling more and more like home to me. Plus, I didn't want to leave Sesshoumaru.

'I really am a fool.'

'Why's that?'

'I have fallen in love with Lord Sesshoumaru, Lord of the West...hater of human'

'That's not true...he cares for you and Rin.'

'He cares for Rin...I merely am her caretaker.'

'Then why does he treat yu like you're special?'

And to that I had no answer. It was true that he did treat me special. But really what can I expect? That he'll say he loves me. That he'll want to be me. That's silly...a silly dream that will never come true.

(Sesshoumaru's Point Of View:)

It was midnight, when I decided to take a walk through the gardens. Something was telling me that the miko was troubled. So I wasn't surprised to see her, sitting on the stone bench by the roses. She always sat there when she was troubled about anything.

"What are you doing out here, miko," I asked, sitting down.

"Thinking," She said, softly.

"About what," I asked.

"What I'll do when I go back to my own time," she said, looking down at the ground.

'Does she reallt think I'm going to let her leave me.'

'Well, you haven't given her much to think otherwise.' the beast said.

"Tell me something, miko," I said.

"What," she asked, looking up at me.

"Do you really think I will allow you to leave me," I asked, and I heard her let out a small gasped and looked me in the eye.

"I thought that's what you wanted. When you took me in," she said, slowly, "It was only for me to teach Rin...what more could you want from me."

"Think, miko," I said, leaning towards her and then I whispered in her ear, "What do I desire from you?" She shuddered, and then shock her head.

"I can think of nothing," she said, looking down again, "so what do you desire."

I place my hand under her chin and made her meet my eyes.

"You," I whispered.

"But, Sesshoumara, I'm human...I can't give an full-blooded youkai heir," She said, tries pooling in her eyes, "All I could give you would be a hanyou...And I've heard you say countless tells how you hate them."

"Anything from you...I could never hate," I said.

"But..." she whispered, but I cut her off with my lips.

"Let me love you...Kagome," I said, against her lips.
