Chapter 11

"We love peace, but not peace at any price. There is a peace more destructive of the manhood of living man, than war is destructive to his body. Chains are worse than bayonets."

-Douglas Jerrold

"Are you sure about this? It sounds to me like your leading my men to their deaths."

Ellie shrugged. In truth she couldn't care less about the Southern Lord and his men. But, they would help keep out those who would try to help Elle from her death and Ellie needed that.

"No, your men will be fine. Trust me, I know."

"This sounds like a suicide mission."

"Losing men is to be expected, but you and your best will survive. I will see to that personally."

The Lord nodded. "Very well then. At dawn we will set out for the western lands."

Ellie smiled. "Good."

"Lord Inuyasha, the northern soldiers have arrived along with the Lord and Lady."

Inuyasha nodded. "Alright make sure everyone is ready and show them all to their rooms."

"Yes sir."

"Lord Inuyasha may I enter your quarters?"

"Very funny Kagome."

"Just making sure you don't look weak in front of your warriors."

"Feh, like that's possible."

Kagome smiled and shrugged. "Maybe."

Inuyasha smirked. "Where is my idiot brother he needs to come keep his mate under control."

Kagome laughed. "Like he could?"

Inuyasha laughed with her. "Good point."

"So how is everyone doing? Are they ready?"

"As ready as they can be. They have been trained well, but they are worried. And who can blame them really?"

"Yes, I can sense their feelings. But they have faith and that is what will give them strength when everything else fails."

"I hope you're right."

"Come on, when am I ever wrong?"

"Um, all the time?"

"Ha, never!"

"You wish."

"At least I have dreams."

"Hn."

"Now you sound like Sesshomaru."

"Ouch, low blow."

Kagome shrugged. "That's what you get for crushing my hopes."

Inuyasha rolled his eyes. "No one could ever do that."

"Good point."

Inuyasha laughed again. "Really, where is Sesshomaru I've barely seen you two apart since you've been back."

"Not sure. Maybe still talking to all the soldiers."

"Sounds like him. Why doesn't he just take over again, he pretty much runs everything anyway."

"He has his reason. Oh and it's a good very non-Sesshomaru like reason too. I love it!"

"And I can't know what it is?"

"If I told you anything that suggested Mr. Almighty has feelings like that he'd kill me off."

"I wouldn't kill you off, I'd do what do you call it, 'deyvorce'?

"Divorce?"

"Divorce, yes I'd divorce you."

Kagome smiled at her mate and went over and hugged him.

"Gross, get a room."

"Don't be jealous baby brother it'll happen for you some day I'm sure. Then I'll let Kagome tell you all about the birds and the bees."

"What do birds and bees have to do with mating?"

Kagome put her hand over her mouth to stop herself from laughing to hard. "Nothing Sesshomaru's just giving you a hard time. How is everyone?"

"They are ready."

Inuyasha sighed. "I wish this was over already."

"Do not worry everything will be ok." Elle said entering the room.

Kagome noticed the way Inuyasha looked at her. He was dazzled by her clearly.

"Come on Sessh, I've got something I want to show you."

"Hn."

Elle's smile disappeared as Sesshomaru and Kagome left the room. Inuyasha rushed over and took her hand not ever thinking of what he was doing. "What is it?"

"I just worry for those two. I just want them to finally get to be happy."

"Have you seen something to suggest they won't?"

"Sometimes I do. Right now everything is changing so much I can't pinpoint much of anything."

"Don't worry so much about them. If anyone can make it through and surprise you, it'll be them."

"You are very right about that."

"I guess there's now way I could talk you out of coming and fighting is there?"

Elle stroked his cheek gently and smiled. "It is very sweet of you, trying to keep me safe. However, I am quite strong. I can handle it."

"You don't look strong. You look very breakable to me."

"So I've heard. Just wait and see, I'll change your mind."

"No, I'll still see it."

Her blues eyes shined brighter than any star, Inuyasha could guarantee that. He leaned in slowly, looking down at her soft lips...

"Inuyasha?"

Inuyasha growled and turned toward the doorway. "What is it Rin?"

"I don't know, Sesshomaru said you wanted to speak with me."

Inuyasha growled again and Elle laughed. "I will see you later Inuyasha. Rin."

"I love you, my wife."

"I love you too, my husband."

Miroku smiled and looked down into his lap at his sleeping daughter.

"I hope we win this."

"For her, I know, me too."

"She deserves peace."

"Yes more than anyone in the world."

"And Sesshomaru and Kagome, I hope nothing happens to them. One can't love without the other."

"I can't live without you."

Miroku kissed his wife's cheek. "I know I feel the very same way."
