Wren210: the answers you seek are below lol
Kagome changed into some pjs and waited until she sensed Sesshomaru was asleep to do some investigating. She grabbed her robe and headed to her office.
Once settled she took her phone out to study the picture she took of the IV bag once Rin fell asleep.
Pure Medicine Inc.
'Ain't that some bullshit! Pure my ass!'
The company itself had been around for many years, family owned and had a well know 'good' reputation. They made tons of donations to 3rd world countries, helped do fundraisers for many different diseases including cancer. All in all they looked like a good company on the outside.
She decided to pull up public records and search for their profit and loss statements, they have made profits every single year since they have been in business. She found their business license number and dug into that. What caught her interest was that about two years ago the company had been taken over by another: Harvestman Inc.
'That's strange, why would a company sell if they were making tons of money and the CEOS still looked like they controlled the company itself.'
She printed what she had on Pure Medicine Inc including the buyout. Then started to look into Harvestman Inc. Typing the name into google something caught her eye, harvestman was another word for spider. 'Uh' Looking further it seemed that all the company seemed to do was take over other companies, there was a long list of purchases, she decided to print forgiving it be of use later. She found the business license number and realized the company was just a DBA (doing business as) for Onigumo Inc. 'Why does that sound familiar? I have seen this before but were.' She took a minute to rack her brain until she remembered, she turned to grab that damn contract that she read and flipped to find what she wanted. There it was at the top of the page of list of companies that were Tashio Inc.'s competitors.
'Please don't tell me he made this little girl sick to get at Sesshomaru.' She shook her head, 'It had to be more than that.' She decided to look into the CEO Naraku Onigumo. Just his picture made her shiver, he looked creepy with his pale skin, long wavy black hair and his eyes were pitch black almost soulless. He didn't seem to do anything out of the ordinary but she did come across the fact that he was a hanyu and was part spider demon. 'Harvestman uh'. She printed and collected all she had. She knew she couldn't confront Sesshomaru yet, but she could seek help from someone who trusted her without a shadow of a doubt. She texted Toga to see if she could meet him and the mothers early in the morning. She grabbed everything she had and headed back to her house. Even though she laid in the most comfortable bed she ever slept in, she couldn't fall asleep. She didn't know why someone wanted to poison little kids and why a company took the trouble to try and remain hidden.
When her alarm clock went off she hadn't slept during the night, she texted Kouga for a ride. Then went to get dress and grabbed everything she printed last night. Kouga never responded, probably not expecting her to need a ride so early on a Sunday. So she called a cab and walked to the end of the driveway. Once she was in the cab she texted Sesshomaru a saying she had to go out and would be home later.
20 minutes later she arrived at the Tashio manner. She paid the cab man then she headed inside not wasting any time.
She was greeted with hugs from the 3 parents and then they all went into the study.
"Kagome dear you lol like you haven't slept." Toga looked at her worried.
"That's because I haven't."
The 3 looked at each other than at her really worried.
"Kagome dear you're scaring us what is it." Kimiko finally spoke up. (Sesshomaru's mother)
"I know what I am about to say may seem crazy and I don't have all the facts but I need you to listen and trust me."
"Honey we trust you more than some of our own family members." Toga replied.
Kagome smiled at him. "Well as you know when I go to the hospital I help slowly heal the children with cancer." They all nodded. "They were doing great until a few weeks ago when I noticed some type of poison that was being put in them through the IV bag."
"Oh dear Kami." Izayoi gasped.
Kagome started to cry and Kimiko wrapped her arms around the girl.
"It gets worse," she paused, "when I met Rin yesterday," she looked at each parent, "She has the same poison from the same IV bags form the same hospital."
She could feel the anger coming off everyone of them.
"And I believe she never had cancer to begin with, I tried to trace the origin like I do with every child to begin the healing process and there was nothing. Also the amount of poison in her should have killed her already but thankfully Sesshomaru gave her some of his blood which prolonged her life"
They all looked surprised at that last bit of info.
"We didn't know he did a blood bonding." Toga looked at her.
"I think he did it thinking his blood would wipe out the cancer, which we know if their bond was strong enough that it would." She responded.
"So someone is trying to kill our granddaughter along with other kids."
"And I know who." They all looked to her shocked.
She pulled everything out of her purse, "Naraku Onigumo." She heard Toga growl.
"That pompous disgusting spider is doing this."
She handed him all the research she did, "It took me awhile to figure it out."
Toga looked through the research, "All this to kill the daughter of his competitor?"
Kagome shook her head, "I unfortunately think it's more. I need to to pull Rin's medical record though to prove it. She got sick almost two years ago around the same time Pure Medicine got bought over by Naraku. As you can see he bought many companies around that time….I have a hunch that he bought any company dealing with Rin's case to force people into making you all believed she was fighting cancer."
"I'm gonna strangle that bastard." Kimiko growled.
"But why infect the other children?" They all looked at her puzzled.
"I thought about it all last night, I think Rin was a test subject. What better way to test a poison then on your competitors daughter. They probably found out about Sesshomaru's blood through blood testing and knew it would have worked if he hadn't of done that. He has weaponized a poison undetachable to demons and possibly human testing to kill humans making it look like cancer."
They all gasped.
"I only hope he isn't trying to work on one similar for demons."
They all looked at each other.
"But why?" Izayoi spoke up.
"Control." Toga said, "I'm sure that bastard has an antidote somewhere and will make people bend to him for it."
"We have to tell Sesshomaru." Kimiko looked worried.
"Yes but even with all of Kagome's work I don't think he will believe us." Toga said sadly.
"I have a plan but it will involve telling him."
They all knew what she meant. "I don't think that's a good idea." He looked at her.
"I know but it's our only option and what good is all this power if I can't rid the evil from this world. Plus I trust Sesshomaru. We just need to get Rin and Sesshomaru into my bunker."
He thought about it for a second. "Okay, you head to the Shrine and we will get Rin and meet you there."
Toga pulled Kagome into his arms and the women followed squishing her into a group hug. "I can never thank you enough for exposing this."
"It's nothing Toga. Y'all are my family."
All 3 parents smirked knowing that she would be even closer to them then before once Sesshomaru realized how important she really is.
Kagome left and headed to her family home. She briefly explained to her family what was happening and went to the bunker to get ready. She put on her long sleeve white silk dress that went all the way down to her feet, put her white slippers on and pulled her hair up into a braid. She grabbed some cousins to lay Rin on and placed them in the center of the room. Then began meditating.
Meanwhile Kimiko distracted her son while Toga and Izayoi grabbed little Rin and flew to Kagome.
He didn't notice it at first but then left his mother in his office and ran to Rin's room, she followed.
"Where is my daughter and why did father and that bitch take her!"
Any other time Kimiko would have slapped her son for calling Izayoi that but knew he was saying it out of anger, "We are trying to help my son."
"Help with what!"
"Come with me calmly and I'll take you to Rin." She turned and head out with Sesshomaru behind her.
She could feel her son's anger the whole car ride and hoped he would calm down enough for Kagome to explain. Not long after they pulled up to the Shrine with Toga and Izayoi waiting on them. He jumped out of the car and got into his father's face, "Where the hell is my daughter?"
"Son I will put you into the ground if you don't back off, now calm down and I'll take you to her."
"Rin isn't here I don't sense her." But he did smell her scent very faintly.
"Oh son she is here now come with me."
Sesshomaru followed him into a dojo and watched as the floor opened up at the center of the room, (Kagome is the only one that can access her bunker she is using her powers to open the secret doors.) he reluctantly followed his father in what looked like a old well then another door opened.
"Hear her out and let her in." He didn't understand until he saw Kagome standing in front of his little Rin lying on some cousins in form of a bed.
"What is this?! Why does Rin look like she is in a coma!" He roared.
Toga left leaving his angry son with Kagome sealing them in.
"Kagome you better have a good explanation for this or I'm ripping your head off."
She was a little hurt by his statement but reached up to her amulet, "Relax I placed a sleeping spell on her until we are finished besides you can't kill me Sesshomaru even if you wanted to." She said has she released the amulet around her but kept it in her hands.
Sesshomaru fell unto his knees instantly. Her power was overwhelming, so raw, so pure, so powerful he has never seen or felt anything like that before. "What are you?"
"I'm the Shikon no Tama Miko."
He looked at her confused, "That is a myth and everyone knows the Shikon no Tama is a jewel."
"It is not myth I assure you. Too many people knew what it looked like and too many evil souls got close to capturing it, thus the gods decided to change its form. Long before I was born they choose me because of my pure soul. This the power that once was in that little jewel now flows through me. The jewel that my dear cousin protects in simply fake power and even she doesn't know that."
He stared at her, "Why are you telling with his and what does it have to do with my daughter?"
She placed the amulet back around her neck, "Because I have to tell you something devastating and I need you to trust me. I know trust doesn't come easy with you but I'm hoping that now since you know my secret that it will be a little easier for you to trust me when I tell you." She waiting for him to nod for her to continue. "Sesshomaru I go to the hospitals to heal the children of cancer."
He looked at her stunned, "You can heal cancer? I know of Mikos healing power but none of them can heal diseases like that."
She smiled, "Yes but as you saw I'm no ordinary Miko."
"Why didn't you heal Rin yesterday?" He said bitterly.
"Sesshomaru it takes time for me to heal the children, I can't heal someone in one day. One it would take so much power that any demon around a 50 mile radius would feel my power and two it would bring the wrong kind of attention to me. I have saved numerous children all while the hospital took credit for curing them and that is how I want it to stay."
"So did you bring us here to heal Rin of her cancer?" He looked hopeful, but he saw a tear run down her check.
She knew this would hurt him, "Rin doesn't have cancer Sesshomaru she never did."
He looked at her with a shocked expression then it quickly turned into anger.
"What the fuck are you talking about!? I hired the best damn doctors in the industry went to every damn painful chemo treatment and spent the past two years funding research for a damn cure! Hell I even did a blood bond to try and wipe it out."
Kagome didn't say anything. She knelt down next to Rin. "I want to show you something." He was close enough to see.
She placed her hands above the girl and allowed her power to flow through her but much stronger this time which caused the little girl to glow.
He heard her chant something and soon after he could see inside his daughter. He saw everything from the blood flowing through her veins, to her little heart bumping, to her other organs. "What is the point of this?"
"Sesshomaru look closely at the veins." She pointed in different areas. "You see the bright red blood?" He nodded, "That is the blood you gave her." (Cause if anyone does not know human blood is actually blue or bluish green and when it hits oxygen it turns red.)
"Pay attention to what it is fighting against but sadly losing," he looked closer and could see dark purple almost black infected blood all over her body. "What the hell is that?" He had never seen anything like it.
"That is poison, the same poison I have been finding in the children at the hospital. Okay now focus on the rest of her body tell me what you see."
He immediately went searching for the tumors at which every doctor told and showed him that she had but he couldn't find anyone one them, there was nothing.
"Sesshomaru she never had cancer, someone infected her and then went through a lot of trouble to make you believe she did." She could feel his anger rising to a point that his demonic aura was flaring out.
"Sesshomaru I need you to calm down." It would be only a matter of seconds before her own power flared out to protect her, even though she knew his rise of power wasn't to hurt her it was just out of pain and anger.
"Someone poisoned my little girl and you are telling me I need to calm the fuck down!" His demonic energy was increasing by the second has he breathed heavily through his nose. With each breath he took his aura pulsed through the room.
"I have the answers you seek but you must calm before I accidentally hurt you."
"You know who has done this!" That did it. His demonic aura flew with rage around the room, he was unable to control it.
She did the only thing she could think of without using her powers, she got up and ran over to him knocking him over on his back and slammed her lips onto his thus sealing his power back inside himself almost immediately.
Without thought, he wrapped his arms around her bringing her chest against his while changing the kiss from assault to passion. Again, both fighting for dominance. Once she felt him calm enough she broke away.
"That was really stupid to do." He looked at her, she was still on top of him.
"It worked didn't it. Besides you were drawing out my holy power, if I would have waited any longer it might have purified you. I might have know you didn't want to hurt me but you had so much rage that my power didn't."
"Well I guess I should thank you."
She slapped him on the chest, "You'll do more than that, I want a raise or a vacation!"
In a flash he was on top of her pinning her to the ground, "Making demands are we."
"Yes since I practically saved your ass and plan on saving your daughter too, why not." She giggled because she was joking and he knew it but he got really serious and brought his hand to stroke her check.
"You heal her from that damn poison and I'll give you the world." He said softly then gently kissed her on the lips.
Kagome then placed her hands on each side of his face, "I won't accept anything for saving that wonderful daughter you have and help you to take down the bastard who did it to her."
He almost forgot that he still didn't know who was behind his daughter's pain. He lifted himself up as well as bringing Kagome to her feet.
"Come," she grabbed his hand, "I will heal her but you can't be in the room when I do; However, there is too much released in this room we must wait for it to die down before you can leave. If you promise to stay calm I'll tell you everything."
She lead him to the corner of the bunker that held a small couch.
He signed he knew he must control himself, "I will."
She began to tell him all she discovered and about how his father was connecting the dots between Rin's doctors and Naraku.
About 30 minutes later, "That bastard I'm going to strangle him!"
She giggled, "Your mother said the same thing."
He turned to her shocked, "You know my mother?"
"Um yes her and your father both trained me. He taught me to fight and how to use my power as a weapon of defense if I need it and your mother taught me all the knowledge stuff."
He frowned, "I see."
She placed her hand on his knee, "What's wrong?"
He looked at her, "I just don't understand why my family kept us a secret from one another."
She looked at him, "I don't know but you said yesterday that you detested humans until Rin."
He knew she was right if he had met her prior he wouldn't have even gave her a second look. When he was a kid she had peaked his interest but has he grow up his hatred grew too.
"Why?"
He turned to face her again with a confused look on his face.
"Why did you hate humans so much?"
"Izayoi and Inuyasha."
"Sesshomaru you can't hate them for what happened."
"You don't understand, my mother was in so much pain because of them it nearly broke her. She loved my father so much that she left him and me behind once she found out."
"Sesshomaru your father found his true mate. It's unfortunate that it hurt your mother in the process but I have a strong feeling that if she had to choose to do it all over again, she would."
"Why, why would she go through that pain again?"
Kagome placed her hand on his check again as he leaned into it, "because of you silly. She would do it again just to give birth to you." He grabbed her and pulled her onto his lap so that she was straddling him looking eye to eye, it didn't faze her she just continued to speak, "I knew she had a son, granted I never put two and two together that Toga was the father but nonetheless she always spoke so highly of you. How proud she was of you and how much she loved you. She never mentioned you by name I think by propose but she did speak about her son every chance she got. She also knew that even though she loved your father and he loved her, a connection of a true mate could not be broken. They both let each other go willing and despite what you think your father still loves your mother and he could have ordered her to stay being she still bore his mark but he didn't want to cause her anymore pain and let her leave."
Slowly he was beginning to see his parents in a whole new light. He was so angry with his family that he hadn't given time to see things clearly. He pulled her to his chest holding her and they sat in silence for a while both absorbing everything that had happened and everything that was going to happen.
