Chapter 11- Confronting Sesshomaru

The entire way home Kagome and Inuyasha stayed quiet. Neither had the courage to speak or to confront one another. 'Though, Sesshomaru will see to that either way' thought Inuyasha as they neared the house. All the while Kagome couldn't help but worry. It had been so long since anyone knew, since she had been allowed to speak of her true nature and the burden she was forced to live with. When they finally got to Sesshomaru's home Kagome was frozen. She waited to be told what to do and when to do it even when they told to relax. As they approached the door Sango and Miroku approached them. Both had confused looks on their face only to be turned into worried ones. Sango ran toward Kagome,

"What happened?! Are you okay?!"

"Chill, I'm fine." Said Kagome waiting for Inuyasha to call for his brother. Miroku saw Inuyasha's face and walked over to him without hesitation.

"You wan to talk to him don't you?"

"Yea." He responded calming shocking Miroku and Sango.

"But why did you bring her? You know Sesshomaru won't like this?" questioned Sagno as she moved closer to them all. All the while Kagome simple stood back and waited for what ever it was that was going to happen.

"Just call Sesshomaru and Rin, tell them we'll be waiting in the hall."

"We?"

"Yes, now go." Inuyasha called out holding back the amount of frustration he was currently feeling. As soon as they were gone and out of site Inuyasha looked to Kagome and sighed.

"Let's go," was all he said as he led them both to the hall. Upon hearing the word hall Kagome had imagined a grand hall or a preying on but what she saw when they got there she had not expected. They walked through two large doors covered in silver and stainless steel. Kagome slowly walked in and quickly bowed at the graves she saw before her. It was a tomb, a grave site for his family and yet they referred to it as a hall. Then something caught her attention. On the walls were some old excerptions. She read them slowly and analyzed them as if they held some information that could help her. Then, just as she was about to figure it out Sesshomaru and Rin made their presents known.

"You should know better little brother, now what is all this about?" he demanded as Rin simply stood by his side for the time being. Kagome took that as her cue and bowed.

"I'm sorry Sesshomaru but it is important. You see…"

"I wasn't talking to you girl, now speak brother! Answer me!" he yelled this time, daring Kagome to speak. However Kagome knew better in this occasion and stayed quiet. Inuyasha looked, glared at his brother for yelling at her but did as he was told either way.

"We were attacked by Naraku, we've found what he's been searching for." He stated calmly at first, hoping that he wouldn't as for it.

"Well, where is it? What was it?" he questioned in a satisfying voice, not knowing that soon he'd be the one apologizing.

"He was looking for the key to salvation, the last heir to the eastern lands."

"Well, where is he."

"She is right here, Kagome?" he said letting his frustration show and turning the room into a tense dark and cold place. Both Sesshomaru's and Rin's eyes went wide as they turned to the young girl in shock causing her to look down. 'Might as well tell them now' she thought while they all stayed stunned.

"Naraku killed my family and was planning on using me to get to the throne but when I left her couldn't. My entire family has been wiped out and at first I was just looking for him, looking to avenge the bastard that killed my family. But then on my first night here some stupid wizard cursed me and now I'm also a dragon blood, one of the last ones. Naraku confronted me today and tried to take it, the key but Inuyasha helped me. I'm not really sure what will happen now." She finished as Sesshomaru and Rin slowly regained them selves. After a while of standing in silence Rin smiled and look toward Sesshomaru.

"Should we?"

"It's what was entrusted to us." He responded catching Inuyasha's and Kagome's attention. Both looked up to see the two they had both come to know as leaders. Soon Kagome found her self being led down the hall of tombs only to be stopped in front of her great grandmother's tomb.

"But how?"

"She asked to buried here so that you could find your way back home, so that you would be able to find a new home. Inside is a couple of spells she asked to pass down to you but only your powers can open it. Inside are the instructions on how to control your powers and how to tap into your demon half."

"Demon"

"Yes, I'll leave you to it then but make sure Inuyasha locks up after you're done. Also I'll be sending Sango to retrieve your belongs, you'll be moving in."

"But…I can't"

"Why not?" finally spoke Rin shocking Kagome and catching her off guard.

"Fine," she whispered as she turned to the grave and started on opening. As she did this Inuyasha stepped back and watched. He watched as she opened her great grandmother's grave without so much as a flinch. It hurt, it hurt to know that he wasn't there to help her, to save her from this life and yet now all he could do was just that. By the time she was done Kagome turned to see Inuyasha and for the first time actually smiled happily.

"Thank you Inuyasha, I…" but before she could finish Kagome passed out and all he could do was catch her. Inuyasha quickly took her to his room, locked the hall and returned to her side. All the while hoping that she'd wake soon and hoping that she'd be safe.
