Chapter 10

"A Series of Events"

It wasn't dawn yet when InuYasha's private jet landed at the Tokyo airport. He was tired and the pain of duty to Kagome was getting to him, he knew he had to talk with her mother he would do that today after he met with Sesshomaru to see how things were going with the investigation. InuYasha was certain things were going well but didn't know for sure, there was something off about Sesshomaru's voice when they had spoken over the phone the other day.

Dreading the coming visit with Kagome's mom was giving the hanyou and fluttery stomach. He was not feeling well, he didn't want to know how things had gone after she had died, he didn't want to bring back all those feelings of loss for the nice woman whom had fed him ramen and introduced him to the differences of this era.

Heaving a great sigh InuYasha disembarked from the airplane and slid into the waiting car. All he wanted to do right this moment was head back home have a little bit of a nap before heading to Sesshomaru's estate to clarify a few things before he headed out to the shrine.

They were surrounded for the second time in three days, things could not get worse, or that's at least what Kagome thought. They were different youkai much stronger than the last bunch that had attacked them. All had swords all looked quite pissed, and Kagome was certain that she had something to do with it. All ten of the youkai surrounding them seemed more dangerous than any of the demons she had faced in the feudal era.

Sesshomaru was standing with his back to hers, staring out at the demons around them, he seemed a little annoyed with the entire situation. Having been loathe to leave her bow and quiver behind due to the situation being more dangerous than it had been when she began it. Thanking Kami at her forethought she nocked an arrow pulling her powers to the surface.

"What do you want" she demanded her voice filled with the deep power that was contained with in her.

"The western lord had been careless" said one.

"The girl is a weakness for him" hissed another.

"We will take her from him" said what looked like the leader.

The demon that had spoken last had been the tallest and most regal looking, dressed in feudal armour of a war lord, his dark blue hair and pointy ears marking him as something more.

"This Sesshomaru will not allow you to take what is his" He said glaring down the demons around him.

"Like I would go with them any way" Kagome huffed, pulling her power fully to the fore and purifying the arrow before letting it fly.

SKSKSKSKSKSKSKSKSKSKSKSKSKSKSKSK

Sesshomaru could feel the purifying energy crackle along his back, could feel the power behind it, and couldn't believe that Kagome was a miko. A miko was a rare thing now in this time, it was even rarer that she was a completely trained miko. He knew that her grandfather was a priest but he didn't know how to train a miko properly so he knew there was no way she could have been taught by him. Her mother though wise in most matters from what he had gathered yesterday, wouldn't know a thing about how to go about disciplining a priestess with such powers.

He knew that she was special he just didn't know how much until now, unfortunately now was not the time to be thinking about these things.

Glaring down at the leader even though he was standing a little ways up the mountain path and technically a good twenty feet higher than the Inu lord, still managed to glare down at him. He was the great Sesshomaru, Inu Taiyoukai, lord of the west he looked up to no one.

Keeping his eyes on the blue lord Sesshomaru watched as he came down the mountain to attack.

Something had woken him, he didn't know what as he lay there drifting until the sound came again. The ringing of the phone brought him out of the drifting, that and his wife's gentle prodding.

"Shippo, answer the phone, I'm trying to sleep" Rin mumbled before she rolled back over burying her head in the pillow once more.

Grabbing the phone and placing it to his ear, Shippo barked into the phone.

"What the hell do you want?"

"Gees Shippo, it's already ten in the morning what the hell are you doing sleeping in" InuYasha's voice came over the phone.

"We got to bed very late" the kitsune said sneering into the phone knowing that the hanyou could hear the inflection.

"I'm going to go see Kagome's mom today I just wanted to know if you wanted to come along"

"You mean your finally got the guts to go and talk to her, fuck InuYasha it's been ten years ya think the might be a little pissed that you didn't come and see her sooner"

"Shippo I already thought about that but I grieved twice for her I know it was selfish but I have to do this before I move on with my life, before I can love another. Please just come with me"

"Oh fine, when do you want to go?"

"I'm waiting in the driveway; you wouldn't answer the door so I called" A weak growl sounded through the phone.

"You owe me for this" Shippo said sitting up in bed

"Hey you wanted to meet Kagome's mom a long time ago, so why you bitching now?"

Shippo hung up the phone with out answering, deciding to get dressed instead.

SKSKSKSKSKSKSKSKSKKSKSKSKSKSK

It was a long drive from Shippo's house to the Higarashi shrine. Both hanyou and kitsune spent the time in silence.

InuYasha didn't know what exactly how he was going to approach but he did need to talk to Sumi Higurashi, he wasn't the only one who needed closure.

Pulling the silver BMW up near the ever so high steps, InuYasha stepped out of the vehicle. Looking towards the shrine above, 'It hasn't changed at all in the past ten years' he thought to him self.

Looking at Shippo his heart sank that much further, he was such an idiot and things didn't have to be this way he should have come back the day Kagome died. He had gone so long without her that he had almost lost him self to the waves of time. InuYasha knew that all the excuses in the world would not make up for the fact that Kagome was gone it would never bring her back. He just hoped that sooner or later Sumi Higurashi would forgive him.

SKSKSKSKSKSKSKSKSKSKSKSKSKSKSK

Sesshomaru walked into his large mansion Kagome following close on his heals, knowing now that it had been entirely too dangerous to run off to the slayers village on her own. Had Sesshomaru not come along when he did things would defiantly

"Now that we are somewhere safe" he said in that deep sexy voice of his. "You can tell me what I want to know"

"Oh and what would that be?" she asked a little defensively, responding to the tone in his voice.

Grabbing her by the shoulders he brought her closer to his face, her sapphire eyes widened a little from the sudden movement.

"What did you want to know that has made you so angry" she sounded calm, a little too calm to his liking.

"You know things about me that only my own kind knows, you are a miko with strong holy powers. That kind of power I haven't seen in over five hundred years" He growled out.

"Do you have a point or do you make a habit of stating the obvious" she said pulling out of his grasp. Turning to glare at him, he could feel her own anger radiating off her, eyes sparking with her own power. She turned to him a few feet away now a slight glow tingeing her body.

"Big fucking deal, so I have Miko powers, your how old, grow up already"

"You Miko are starting to make me angry, you will not like me when I'm angry" he glared, despite the fact that they had been intimate, it was time he received the answers to his questions and he didn't care at the moment whether or not she got angry.

She laughed outright then, one of those outright angry, ironic laughs.

"I've seen you angry before and honestly I'm not scared, hell you even tried to kill me"

"What? who are" his hands were once again on her shoulders as he gave her a little shake forcing her to look into his eyes.

The doors to the study were thrown open at that moment, startling Kagome as InuYasha came running in, clad in jeans and a tee shirt his long hair pulled up in a pony tail.

"Hey Sesshomaru, you'll never guess, Kagome she's..." he trailed off and then stopped dead in his tracks.

Turning to look at the hanyou Sesshomaru looked to see what he was looking at. Kagome whom had turned to see whom had entered, stood stock still her mouth partly open as she looked at Sesshomaru's brother.

Shaking off the Taiyoukai's hands as if they had never been there to begin with. Kagome walked forward a few steps her eyes not moving from InuYasha. She couldn't believe it, he was here, he was alive.

"In..InuYasha" she said softly, a few tears rolling out of the corners of her eyes, all she wanted to do at the moment was throw her self in to his arms.

"Kagome" He walked forward, they both did standing less then a foot apart.

"Your still alive...after all this time" she said reaching up to catch the tail of his hair that had come over his shoulder.

"You didn't die" his fingers touched her cheek lightly, it was a relief for him to finally see her, things had never been the same since she had gone. Now she was back and here in front of him now he could say all the things he wanted to say to her, all the things he had kept to himself five hundred years ago when he should have told her.

They stood there for a moment just staring in to each others eyes then suddenly they were in each others arms.

"I missed you" InuYasha said softly breathing in her scent, though it was mixed with his brothers he didn't mind, it was Kagome.

"I missed you too, oh Kami you have no idea" she said giving him a squeeze, her head on his shoulder.

Watching as the miko and hanyou embraced, Sesshomaru felt as though this was familiar to him, his head started to hurt, a great pounding sensation. The pain steadily grew then he felt something in his head snap and the pain subside. Suddenly everything came back to him, memories that he had forgotten were there, were suddenly at the fore. He remembered trying to kill Kagome in his fathers tomb after she had done what the brothers could not, he remembered the countless confrontations with her and his brother. Everything came back into sharp focus, and what bothered him the most was not the fact that he had forgotten all this but the sight of Kagome in InuYasha's arms, especially now that they had been intimate.
