Laying down she allowed sleep to take over sending her to her mate. Tonight they sat under a tree relaxing in one another's embrace. He inhaled her scent loving the smell of how his scent was mingled deeply with hers.
On with the story:
Chapter: 10
The suns rays drifted in through Kaede's hut window landing upon Kagome's face causing her to stir. Kagome could feel something off as her eyes fluttered open. Looking around the hut, she found nothing out of place. Laying back down Shippo cuddled up against her while resting his head on her chest. Kagome let out a sigh as she wondered what this feeling was. She ran her fingers through the kits red hair.
She began to think everything over. Today was the day before her birthday, and also Inuyasha's human night. It was this thought that caused her to realize just who her mate was. They looked so much alike. She wondered how she never figured it out till now. She shrugged at that thought. Really it didn't matter who he was, she loved him more then life it's self. Her next thought was maybe this feeling was just her being nervous about her transformation, but even that didn't sound right.
Getting up she carefully picked up her kit while being careful he didn't wake. Walking over quietly she placed her son in her older son's lap. Inuyasha woke with the added weight. Looking up he nodded knowing his mother would be going for a bath. It always seemed to calm her and clear her thoughts. Kagome smiled as she gathered her bathing supplies.
Slowly she walked to a near by hot spring. Stripping out of her clothes she slid into the hot water. She sighed in contentment as she felt her muscles relax. As she rested against some rocks she allowed her thoughts to drift. 'What is it that is bothering me?' Just as that thought came to her she herd a rustle in the bushes closest to her. Leaning over she gathered her sword. Her mate told her to never be without it, so she kept it with her at all times even when sleeping.
Kagome was startled as a little girl came stumbling into the clearing. "Rin? What are you doing here? Are you alright?" Kagome babbled out worried as she got out of the hot spring to run to the child's side. Rin looked up at Kagome with a smile. "Rin is fine; she was near by with master Janken watching her. Master Janken was being mean to Rin so Rin left and found nee-san." Rin told her with a bright smile. Kagome returned the smile of her own.
"Rin, why don't you join me in a bath, and then we will go back to Kaede's hut to have breakfast?" Kagome asked with a bright smile as she got back into the hot spring. Rin nodded as she got undressed. Slipping into the hot spring Kagome began to wash her hair. Seeing Rin's questioning look Kagome explained what each bottle was for. When she finished washing up she washed Rin. "Rin now smells like flowers." Rin said with a big smile that could out do the sun. Getting out they dressed before heading back to Keade's hut.
Kagome smiled as they entered the hut. Shippo was now awake and coloring with the crayons she brought back from her time. Rin tilted her head in curiosity. "They are called crayons and used for drawing pictures. Each crayon is a different color." Kagome explained. Shippo smiled up at his mother as he walked over to her. "Would you like to draw with me?" Shippo asked Rin. Rin nodded before they ran off to draw on some printer paper that she brought from home. It was just sitting there while she was away and she needed something for Shippo to do to keep him busy during their wait.
Shaking her head she made her way to the low fire. Moments later Kagome had breakfast ready. She had made pancakes, bacon, and fried eggs. The others had eaten it few times, but poor Rin looked at it oddly as if it would jump off the plate and bite her. Kagome giggled as Shippo told her it was really good. Shippo poured some syrup on the pancakes for Rin before pouring some on his own. Rin watched as he began to eat. Following his example she dug into her pancakes. They were the best thing she ever tasted. Soon the children polished off their pancakes. Shippo smiled as he took a piece of bacon. Poking the eggs he watched as the yoke oozed out. Rin giggled as she did the same thing before taking a bite. Kagome watched Rin's reaction to her modern day breakfast.
With breakfast out of the way Kagome took the kids outside to play in a flower field. It was there that Sesshomaru showed up looking for his ward. Kagome smiled as he watched with interest to the game they were playing. Kagome made her way over to the Western Lord. "They are playing red light green light 123." She told him with a smile as Rin caught Shippo moving.
"Have you herd anything about Naraku?" She asked. Sesshomaru looked over at her. "This Sesshomaru herd he is on the move." He told her. Kagome nodded. "Yes, I got a feeling this morning that something is about to happen. Is that why you were close by?" She asked as she watched the children begin to play tag. "Yes, this Sesshomaru believes that the vile half breed is on his way here for the rest of the jewel." He told her as the breeze shifted bringing her scent to him. 'So she has mated, the scent I have smelled it before, but how. It's not the stupid hanyou's.' He thought as he looked out the corner of his eye looking for the mate mark.
Kagome sighed as she looked up at him. "We are after the same vile spider, so why don't we combine groups?" She asked. Sesshomaru nodded, he would have more time to figure out just who her mate was. Kagome smiled as she stood up, calling out to the children for lunch. Sesshomaru stayed behind wondering why he was beginning to have these weird feelings for the miko. He let out a soft sigh, this miko was causing him to act unlordly, but he would never let another know of it.
Kagome had finished making lunch by the time the Lord joined them. Kagome was handing out cups of ramen as he sat down across from her. He was trying to figure her out, but she was a contradiction to everything he knew a woman to be even the demon hunter acted as he thought a woman should act. This miko he just couldn't come up with anything for her. Yes she was kind, loving, loyal, and brave in the face of danger. She stood up for those she loved even if it meant it would cost her life. Kagome was standing in front of him with a cup of ramen held out for him. Without further thought he took the ramen, and began to eat it. Kagome smiled brightly as she bounced over to the children to eat her own.
Sesshomaru wondered why he accepted it, he normally would turn it away. To his surprise it was actually tasty. By the end of lunch the ramen was gone. Inuyahsa ate 6 cups, while Sesshomaru ate 15 cups. Kagome shrugged off the shock figuring it was because he was a full demon and not half.
It was now sunset and Inuyasha would be turning human soon. She sighed as she kept her miko senses open for any danger. Just as the last of Inuyasha's transformation finished she felt it danger. Dark, evil, danger which could only be Naraku. She cursed in her mind. 'Fuck it just had to be tonight during his human night.' She thought. Getting up quickly she grabbed her bow and arrows as Sesshomaru darted out of the hut.
Seeing Kagome's and Sesshomaru's reaction caused them to gather their weapons as well. Leaving the hut they made their way to where Sesshomaru was facing off with the spider hanyou. The western army going fighting against the rest of Naraku's army. 'Damn it just had to be near the well and the god tree.' She thought as she strung an arrow in her bow. The battle went on for hours neither were winning or loosing. As she shooting at Naraku screams of pain filled the air around them as body after body hit the blood soaked ground.
There was one scream and deep inside she knew who it was even if she never met him before. Running over quickly she saw a sword run through him, there before her was her father. Kneeling down she found the blade was poisoned. Kagome pulled the sword free. "Go gather your pups and mate bring them to the well. They will be safe there. Your daughter will return one day, just remember that she loves you and that she is proud to call you father." She told him as a tear slid down her cheek. His hand raised to wipe away the tear. He knew how she was now. "He is proud of her also." He told her as he stood. He ran off to do as she told him before it was too late.
Kagome watched him leave, tears began to fall from her eyes knowing she would never see her father again, but she couldn't change the past for it would change the future as well. Soon she saw him running back through the battle with a child held in the arms of his pregnant mate. She knew he was using the last of his energy to get them their. More tears fell as she watched him place them into the well soon after falling to his death.
The sun was beginning to rise as she watched her father take his last breath. As the sun rose a bright shimmering light began around Kagome, when it began to clear …
