LAST CHAPTER
'i hope mama and papa are okay its getting scarey out here by my self' she sat down on a rock and waited for them to hurry back. but she didnt wait long because something jumped out the woods and she ran.
"MOMMY!!! DADDY!!!! WERE ARE YOU??" she yelled while running in the direction she saw them walk in.
kagome turned to sesshomaru and asked "did you hear something?"
sesshomaru listened intently and said one word that had him and kagome running. 'RIN' they took off once the little gilr's name came out of his mouth.
rin had ran and ran until she notice two figures running toward her. she couldn't see all that clearly because she had been crying.
when they saw rin she had been crying. kagome knelt down to pick her up.
"rin what happened?" sesshomaru asked.
upon hearing his voice she jumped out of kagome's arms in to sesshomaru's. he caught her and looked at kagome trying to figure out what scared the girl so much that it had her running and crying. sesshomaru brought his hand up to rub circles on rin's back whispering in her ear that she was safe and that nothing was going to harm her with him and kagome there.
"i was so scared and there were so many sounds and...and...something jumped out of t-th-the bushes so i ran." rin cried
"don't worry rin your mother and father are here now to protect you so you shouldn't fear anything." kagome said.
"what do you say if we head back to get some rest." sesshomaru asked.
rin nodded her head and the trio began walking only stopping to get kagome and rin things'.
NOW NEW CHAPTER YAYYYY!!!!!! IM SO SO SO SORRY FOR NOT UPDATING SOON. BUT I HAD SCHOOL AND NOW I HAVE A SUMMER READING BOOK TO READ AND I HAVE TO DO A REPORT ON IT. SO AS TO MAKE UP FOR LOST TIME IM GOING TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS CHAPTER IS LONGER.
As the trio walked back to camp Kagome started thinking about what could have scared Rin so much that she wouldn't even let go of Sessohmaru.
'She's shaking so much, what happened?' she thought.
"Kagome" she looked up at Sessohmaru and saw that he didn't have his usual mask on.
'he's worried about Rin' she thought feeling sad.
'No duh, Rin is his daughter why wouldn't he be worried?' her inner self said.
"Kagome is everything okay?" asked Sessohmaru.
"Yeah im just thinking that's all" she said with a fake smile trying not to make him worry about her too.
"About what if I may ask?" he said looking at her almost studying her.
Kagome lowered he head and said "about what could have jumped out at Rin to make her so scared. Is she sleeping?"
Sessohmaru sighed, "Yes, I picked up a scent at the hot springs, I know what jumped out at her."
hearing that, Kagome head snapped up at him. She looked at him with angry eyes.
'HE DIDNT EVEN TELL ME! AND HE GOT ME HERE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT JUMPED OUT AT OUR LITTLE GIRL!'
instead of shouting at him she took a deep breath and said "so what jumped out at her?"
sesshomaru eyes widen just a bit before returning back to normally. 'She was just angry just a minute ago, I was sure she was going to fuss about me not telling her. Maybe she's not mad'
'NOT MAD! YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME! OH SHE'S MAD ALRIGHT JUST WAIT UNTIL YOU TWO BE ALONE SHE'S GOING TO KILL YOU. YOU SESSHOMARU SHOULD KNOW BETTER THAN TO WITHOLD INFORMATION ABOUT A MOTHERS PUP! With that his inner beast left.
'im dead' sesshomaru thought "so are you going to tell me what jumped out at Rin or aren't you?" Kagome asked and as Sessohmaru looked up to tell her, he notice that she was ahead of him.
'How did she get up there?" he asked himself.
'Well I better tell her before she decides purify me.'
'Idiot she's not going to purify you, but just to be safe, TELL HER DAMN IT!!!'
"It was Jaken."
Kagome just stopped and whirled around to face him, "you mean that little toad scared my baby!" she said in a hushed tone.
"Yes" he answered simply.
Nothing else was said but Sessohmaru was sure that Kagome was planning something dealing Jaken. He would be pissed right now and would probably be chasing after Jaken if he didn't have Rin with him, but he would handle it one way or another.
BACK AT CAMP
"about damn time you came back!" inuyasha shouted.
"inuyasha, shut up before i sit you all the way to hell" kagome seethed through clenched teeth.
"um lord sesshomaru," sango said walking over to him motioning to take rin and to lay him down. "is kagome okay?"
he gave sango rin and said one word, "jaken"
"oohhhh, he's not here he said he had something important to do and that he was looking for you." sango said laying rin in kagome's sleeping bag.
"so what did that toad do now?" miroku asked
"he scared rin and she ran into the forest without anyone with her." sesshomaru said
everyone was shock to believe that something could have happened to that little ball of energy called rin. a growl startled everyone. they turned inuyasha knowing that it wasn't sesshomaru who was growling, as of how they were just talking to him and was still looking at him.
"it wasnt me. it was shippo" inuyasha said as he sat in the tree
they all turned to shippo and saw that he was crouched down on the ground.
"he hurt sister,shippo hunt" shippo said
"his beast is taking over" miroku said standing up by sango.
sesshomaru walked towards shippo only to have him growl at him.
"stay away!"
"shippo stop, rin is not hurt." sesshomaru said
"but toad could have hurt sister! stay away!" shippo yelled
there was a noise coming from behind a bush. everyone was up ready to attack until they saw jaken come from behind it holding a stick with a mask on laughing. when kagome and the others saw this, sesshomaru took a step forward, "jaken what is that?"
"aw mi'lord i've been looking for you!" jaken said dropping the stick to the ground.
"jaken, i will not ask again." sesshomaru said with poison dripping from his claws.
"its a puppet mi- awwwww"
everything was in slow motion. kagome shot a ball of energy at him and shippo attacked him growling.
"aww g-g-get off me fox!" jaken screamed. sango, miroku, kikyo, inuyasha and sesshomaru just stood there.
"grrrrrr you scare sister before, now i scare you!" shippo growled out.
"so jaken sesshomaru didn't catch your scent at the hot springs where we left rin?" kagome asked jaken. somewhat calmed
"w-w-what no!" jaken protested
"so jaken are you saying that sesshomaru is getting old that he doesnt know what he smelt?" sango asked
"no never!" jaken yelled
"WELL IT WAS YOUR SCENT HE CAUGHT AND NOW YOU'RE GOING TO PAY!!!" kagome yelled with her aura flaring.
shippo raised his claws to cut jaken's throat but stopped when someone caught his hand. he looked up and saw rin.
"rin" he growled out softly
"shippo please don't do this." rin pleaded
"but he hurt sister" shippo's beast said
"no jaken scared me but im not hurt." she said lowering shippo's hand and slowly he began to change back but not before turning to jaken and saying "DON'T EVERY DO THAT TO MY SISTER OR ELSE!!!!"
"okay!!! i wont i promise" jaken cried
"thank you brother" rin said rubbing her eyes and picking shippo up to go lay down. after making sure that the kids were asleep kagome walked over to jaken and knelt down to pick up the puppet.
"y-y-you stay away from me!" jaken said stuttering
"hahahaha as if you could tell me what to do." she said smiling and looking at the puppet's mask
"hm, so this is what you scared my pup with? it is kind of scary i suppose. but tell me something toad...." she paused and turned to make sure he was listening. seeing him nod his head she continued.
"why did you scare rin?"
'i wont tell her for i fear what she will do' jaken thought
"i will not harm you jaken" everyone looked at kagome even inuyasha and kikyo.
"yet" she added
'sigh' "so are you going to tell me why you scared my pup or do you want me to have shippo finish his job?" she asked squatting in front of him.
"feh that runt cannot harm me." jaken said with his beak in the air. a hand shot out and grabbed his neck.
"DO NOT SPEAK ILL OF MY PUP JAKEN. HE HAD YOU READY TO PEE YOUR CLOTHES AND YOU KNOW IT!" kagome seethed.
"you know toad, i suggest you tell her your reason because i believe if you dont my brother over there will make you." inuyasha said jumping down from his spot in the tree. he turned to look at sesshomaru, "but you know bro, i don't think she'll let you"
"what do you mean by that inuyasha?" sesshomaru asked.
"never in my life have i seen kagome this pissed off at someone even when i did something stupid" inuyasha admitted.
sesshomaru looked up and saw that sango, miroku and even kikyo were nodding their heads.
"hm"
with one look from sesshomaru, jaken broke down.
"I SCARED HER BECAUSE I THOUGHT THAT IT WOULD BE FUNNY AND I WANTED HER TO LEAVE MI'LORD AND I!!!! SHE'S SO AGGRAVAITNG, ITS A WONDER OF HOW MI'LORD COULD STAND HER. SHE'S JUST HERE FOR AMUSEMENT BUT IT'S NOT FUNNY ANYMORE!!!! SO I MADE THE PUPPET AND FOLLOWED HER SCENT AND WHEN I WAS SURE SHE WAS ALONE I JUMPED OUT THE BUSHES AND SCARED HER!!!! ARE YOU HAPPY NOW WENCH."
"yes i am toad!" kagome whispered harshly so only jaken could hear her.
sniffles were heard and everyone turned towards rin and saw that shippo eyes were red and he was holding rin glaring at jaken.
"i...sniffle....i never knew i was that bad to....sniffle....to you....sniffle sniffle....master jaken....sniffle"rin said with tears running down her cheeks.
sesshomaru eyes were red and he was ready to kill jaken but he walked over to rin and picked her and shippo up with his tail.
he turned to kagome and she nodded her head.
sesshomaru formed his cloud under his feet and took to the sky.
"what!!!! where is mi'lord going" jaken shrieked
sango and inuyasha cracked their knuckles and kikyo and miroku said "you deserve what you are about to receive"
"i hate my brother but i refuse to let his kid deal with you toad." inuyasha said taking a step closer to kagome and jaken
"stay away from me!!"
"no" said sango
WITH SESSHOMARU, RIN AND SHIPPO
they landed in a clearing with a pond and flowers surrounding it. on the way there, shippo and rin calmed down from his low growls.
"rin i want you to know that what jaken said was false. he had no right to say those things." he hooked a finger under her chin to get her to look up at him.
"rin you are my daughter and it pains me to see you this way. you are the energy that keeps me going day and night. i love you with all my heart i will never let anything hurt you..." he paused and looked at shippo, "...kagome and shippo"
as he said that, shippo head snapped up at sesshomaru with wide eyes.
"come here son" sesshomaru said reaching his only arm out with his tail around rin.
shippo walked toward his 'dad' and sat on his lap.
"are you really going to protect me and mama" shippo asked in a hushed tone
"yes, shippo i will protect you, your mother, and sister." he told him ruffling shippo's hair.
"are you two ready to go back" he asked
"yes!" they answered energetically
sesshomaru let a smile grace his lips as he once again took to the sky.
BACK AT CAMP
"MOMMA!!!!" rin shouted
"WE'RE BACK!!!" shippo said as he jumped in kagome's arm.
"rin, shippo..."
"yes dad?" they both said.
"hug your mother and get ready for bed its late." sesshomaru said as he walked over to a tree and he sat down.
"okay" they said sadly
"come on you two lets get you both sleep" said kagome as she walked over to her sleeping bag to lay them down.
"momma can you sing us a song?" asked rin
"sure, why not?" she asked more to herself than to anyone else.
THIS IS A SONG THAT I MADE UP WHILE I WAS SINGING TO MY NEPHEW SO DONT LAUGHT AT IT
hush little baby, please dont you worry
its okay to close your eyes
for now it is night
just close your eyes
and dream a sweet dream
cuz i'll be here
everyone at the camp heads began to fall at kagomes voice, even sesshomaru and kikyo.
like the morning sun
its okay now to close your eyes
just think about all of the fun you could have tommorrow
let my voice carry you away
into the dream world
where happiness lays at bay
shippo and rin had smiles on their faces with their eyes closed as their mother sang to them.
come on now,
let sleep win this time
because once you wake up
its a new day full of joy
sleep now my baby
and close your eyes
as kagome finished singing to the children she notice that everyone was asleep including ah un and kirara.
she smiled and grabbed a blanket then walked over to sesshomaru.
"i didnt mean for you to go to sleep too." she whispered and sat down next to him. she touched his stub and thought 'i want you to become whole again'
with that thought in mind she closed her eyes and her hand began to glow.
about five minutes later kagome opened her eyes and smiled
"its just like the other" she whispered and layed her head down on his shoulder. his arm wrapped around her waist and he smiled and used his tail to wrap the blanket around kagome's form.
NEXT MORNING
kagome woke up to something warm and looked up to see sesshomaru smiling down at her.
"morning sesshomaru!!" kagome chirped.
sesshomaru leaned down to her ear, "care to go on a walk with me?"
kagome beamed "sure! um hey sango?"
sango stopped playing with shippo and rin and turned towards kagome.
"yeah whats up?" she asked
"im going for a walk could you pack up for me please?" kagome asked standing up.
"sure but if you're going to go, you should get going before they get back."
sango made the inphasis on they because kagome knew who she was talking about.
"thanks" kagome said walking over to sesshomaru and reaching down to grab his hand.
"im ready if you are." she said blushing
sesshomaru stood up and walked in the woods with kagome in tow. they've been walking for about twenty minutes and when they finally stopped, kagome began looking around.
'wow, this is so beautiful. its so peaceful here.' kagome thought. sesshomaru noticed the look on her face and he liked it.
"im glad you like it here kagome." sesshomaru said as he wrapped his arms around the women who brought him joy.
'arms, its so nice to have it back and to be whole again'
'yes our mate has done well.' his beast said
"how does your arm feel?" kagome asked as she turned in sesshomaru's arm facing him.
"it feels good to have it back kagome. thank you for giving it back to me." he said smiling at her as she blushed.
"you know you should smile more often." she said looking at the ground.
sesshomaru hooked a finger under her chin and said, "only for you"
she blushed and led sesshomaru over to a tree and sat down.
"sesshomaru can i tell you something?" she asked while fiddling with her kimono. sesshomaru had brought it for her as an apology and this is her first time wearing it.
"what is it that you would like to tell me?" he asked grabbing her hand making her blush.
'well here goes' kagome thought
"well theres this guy i know and he's really nice to me and also helpful and protective. he's caring and he makes me feel things that i have never felt before...." she started.
'who is this guy she is talking about?" he asked himself
"continue"
"well I've known him for quite a while and there's something that i want to tell him without feeling stupid and embarrassing myself." she said while thinking, 'please let him understand.'
"so you're telling me that there's someone out there that you have fallen for?" he asked raising an eyebrow at her.
"well yes. he's tall, honorable and very intelligent..." 'he's you' she thought
"well if you feel this way about him, why don't you tell him how you feel?" he asked standing up
"i...i...i cant" she said looking down at the ground once more.
sesshomaru turned around to face her with red eyes, "AND WHY NOT!" he shouted.
"because....because he's you" she whispered as tears began to fall down her cheek.
'MATE IS CRYING, WHY IS SHE CRYING?'
'im the guy she's talking about?'
'OF COURSE YOU ARE, WHO ELSE WOULD SHE FALLING FOR?' his beast asked and then said 'go to her and tell her please before we loose her.'
sesshomaru took a step towards kagome on to have her back away from him.
"sigh... kagome please listen to me."
"y..y...yes?"
"kagome i brought you here for a reason. i wanted to tell you that you are the best thing that has every happened to other than rin of couse"
"sesshomaru what are you saying?" kagome asked as he stepped up to her getting on one knee.
"kagome, im saying that i...i..."
"you what sesshomaru?" she asked.
'damn it why cant i tell her? i know i love her....'
'then why dont you tell her?' his beast said
'i will'
"kagome what im trying to say is that i love you."
when he said that he loved her, kagome's head started spinning.
"you...you love me?"
"yes, kagome. yes i do." he said fearing rejection
"sesshomaru, i love you too." she said jumping up and wrapping her arms around his neck.
"oh sesshomaru, i love you! i love you!" sesshomaru smiled as she expressed herself.
