Chapter 12

Ever since that day Kagome hadn't seen Kai or Riku, Sango had been acting weird and would often leave her under the protection of Kirara. Currently, Kagome was working on the position. She was almost done and she knew that she would be able to give it to the Lord by tonight. Just as she had added the final herb, Kagome turned around to see Sango walking in. Sango placed the tray of food down and said, "You are to stay in your room tonight."

"What? But the position will be ready by tonight. You can't keep me here." Kagome answered as she turned to face her best friend.

"I'm sorry Kagome but you won't be eating alone." Sango reassured her.

"You're staying with me?" Kagome asked in a hopeful voice. 'Every since that day, I've felt so alone.'

"No…you'll be eating with Lord Sesshomaru and Lord Inuyasha." Sango answered.

"I'm the only one that hasn't seen them. And frankly I want nothing to do with them." Kagome answered in a cold voice.

"They know about you Kai, and Riku. If you don't talk they'll tell the Lord." Sango stated in a soft voice. 'If shit doesn't work out I'm going to kick both of their asses.'

"Fine…but first thing tomorrow I want to meet with Lord Higurashi." Kagome hissed.

"I'll make sure of it. Have a nice night…Kagome-sama." Sango said before she quickly took her leave.

Having no idea what just happened, Kagome left the position to cool on her desk while she sat down in front of it to mediate. Just as she had finished, Kagome realized that the position was done. After pouring it into a small vial, Kagome put it away and walked into the bath room. Just as she had turned on the water she heard her bed room door open. After taking in a deep breath, Kagome turned to the bath room door and said, "I'll be out in a bit."

After hearing a growl of acknowledgement, Kagome got into the shower and took her time. The longer she took the less time she would have to spend with them. 'The thing is…I can't feel their aura's…come to think of it…shit!' Kagome thought as she turned off the water. 'I forgot to get my clothing.' Kagome thought as she wrapped herself up in a huge towel. After taking a few calming breaths, Kagome unlocked the door and slightly opened it before she said, "Close your eyes and turn your packs. I need to grab my clothing."

As they did what they were told, Kagome walked out and grabbed her clothing. Just as she was about to walk into the bath room she felt a hot breath on the back of her neck. She quickly 

reached for the beads that were hidden and placed them on his neck. AS soon as they were on him, Kagome was heard say, "Sit!"

Once he was sure that she was in the bath room, Sesshomaru turned around just in time to see his brother getting off the floor. "You must control your demon blood brother. Tetsusiga was left at home."

"Feh, just shut up." Inuyasha growled.

"Mother will not be pleased when she sees that subduing spell on you." Sesshomaru added.

"I said shut up." Inuyasha replied, "Besides, once she sees who we are she'll remove it."

"Just turn around. She'll need to place some of her items back in place." Sesshomaru stated in a calm voice.

"Feh, just because I don't want her to freak out." Inuyasha replied as he did what he was told. Just as he finished turning his back, the bath room door was opened and Kagome walked out.

"The least you could do is let me feel your auras." Kagome hissed as she grabbed a brush from her small desk.

Both brothers stared at one another, before Sesshomaru said, "We are not hiding. You feel our auras for we are the ONLY demons in these lands."

"No other demons are allowed in these lands." Inuyasha said.

AS soon as those words left their mouths Kagome froze. As she continued to sense and feel the entire kingdom she realized that they were speaking the truth. After dropping the brush, Kagome slowly turned around only to come face to face with the two brothers she had met. Realizing her mistake, Kagome quickly stood up and bowed. Before Inuyasha or Sesshomaru could say anything, Kagome took in a deep breath and said, "Please forgive me."

"Damn it Kagome just stand up straight. Just because we gave you fake names doesn't mean we were fake." Inuyasha growled.

"What my brother means it that we were never false with you. We are the same men you got to know." Sesshomaru said as he hit his brother over the head.

After standing up straight Kagome eyes the two before she returned to being the cold girl she was. After taking yet another breath, Kagome asked, "Then you won't have me arrested if I punch you like usual?"

"NO, hell we're been protecting you this whole time." Inuyasha answered.

"They would have already announced you as the missing princess." Sesshomaru added.



"Great…Inuyasha…sit!" Kagome hissed as she turned angry eyes at Sesshomaru. "Get him and get out. I'm still going to do what you two asked of me but in return you two WILL take care of my brothers."

"Fucking bitch…" Inuyasha mumbled as he struggled to get up.

"SIT! Get out! I should have known better! To think I trusted you two! SIT BOY! Inuyasha get out!" Kagome yelled as she tried to stop her tears. 'I told him…I told him everything and he probably laughed about it.'

Noticing her raising power, Sesshomaru quickly got his brother and dragged him out of the ragging miko's room. Once they were gone, Kagome threw herself onto her bed and began to cry for the first time in years. AS she continued t get control, she slowly placed herself in a very strong and protective barrier. 'Roku…Dai…help me…I feel so alone. I'm so hurt…I'm so alone.'

Rin slowly backed away from the raging hanyou's. They had all been watching TV when the two began to hiss and stretch their claws as if they were ready to attack whatever approached them. 'What's going on? Did something happen to Kagome?' Rin thought as she slowly backed away. However she was forced to stop moving when Roku locked on her. Rin slowly lifted up her arms as she said, "I'm not a threat…I'm a part of the pack."

Roku turned to Dai and Said, "We can't leave her unprotected."

"We have no choice…we promised…sister that we…would…protect…sister…Rin." Dai replied as he began to calm down.

"But…she's so sad…she's crying Dai…she's actually crying." Roku hissed.

"Roku…Dai…is Kagome alright?" a worried Rin asked.

"Rin…use your link…get Sesshomaru here now." Dai said.

"I…I can't…the claim is to weak." Rin whispered.

"Kagome…whoever hurt her is going to pay." Roku hissed as he tried to get some control.

"Don't worry, Kagome WILL come back to us." Rin said as she pulled the two into her arms.

The next morning, Kagome woke up to find a speechless Sango staring at her from across the room. Knowing that Sango was only doing what she was told, after lowering her barrier, Kagome got out of bed and smiled at Sango as she stretched out her muscles; much like a cat would. Just as she fell back into bed, Sango approached Kagome and asked, "Are you alright?"

"Yeah, so what do they want me to wear for todays gathering?" Kagome answered.



"Oh, uh…you have to wear the gown that Lord Inuyasha chose for you." Sango answered as she walked over to Kagome's closet.

"I liked it…it's the only gown that I really like…but I want my hair down." Kagome said as she got out of bed.

"For what it's worth…I'm sorry that I never told you." Sango replied.

"Don't worry about it. I know that you couldn't say anything. But I just need to ask you for a favor." Kagome answered.

"What is it?" Sango asked as she stopped what she was doing and turned to face Kagome.

"When I run…please don't come after me." Kagome answered as she showed Sango the finished position.

"Kagome…if you do this then you know that…" Sango began only to be interrupted by Kagome.

"I know…but I've made up my mind. I may be the lost princess but after what I've been through I want nothing to do with that kind of a life." Kagome explained.

"Come on…we can't be late." Sango said as she tried to hold herself in check. 'I kept that from her…the least I could do is give her a chance.'

While Sango helped Kagome get ready for her final day, Inuyasha and Sesshomaru were talking in their room. They had no idea if the position would work. As Inuyasha walked up and down the room, his brother couldn't help but think of a way to get out of there. Sesshomaru was brought out of thought when he heard his brother ask, "What are we going to do if it doesn't work?"

"Then we will explain to Lord Higurashi that she was under our orders. Then we shall speak against Lady Higurashi." Sesshomaru answered.

"Feh…if that doesn't work then you better find a way to get Tetsusiga into my arms." Inuyasha growled.

"That is something that you no longer have to worry about brother." Sesshomaru said, "Thanks to that subduing spell."

"Feh, that wench better remove it soon." Inuyasha growled as he stopped walking up and down the room.

"Come on little brother. We cannot be late." Sesshomaru said as he got off of his bed.

"Feh, I can be late if I want." Inuyasha stated as he followed his brother out of the room.



Once they had reached the Lord's side, all of the remaining miko's began to walk in. AS each of them walked in, they handed a small offering to Lord Higurashi. 'Dai…Roku…please forgive me but I don't think I'll be going home.' Kagome thought sadly as she held onto the position. Sango had made sure that she was the last one to walk in so that no one would get hurt. Once she had reached the lord and lady, Kagome bowed and said, "I would like to extend my deepest apologies."

"What is it that you have done?" Lady Higurashi hissed.

"Lord Higurashi…I'm sorry." Kagome whispered.

Before anyone could do or say anything, Kagome had easily blasted Tsubaki away from her father and had pinned her to the wall with an arrow. Once that was done, Kagome had placed a barrier around the lord and herself. AS she pulled out the small bottle, Kagome leaned into Lord Higurashi's ear and whispered, "She has been working for Naraku. Kill her or lock up her up. Just stay safe."

"Lord Higurashi!" the miko's and guards were heard as they tried to break her barrier.

'She's wearing the…the gown I got her.' Inuyasha thought as he watched her closely.

After forcing him to drink the position, Kagome gently lied Lord Higurashi down and stood up straight. 'Great…my only way out is to jump out a window…from the second floor…' Kagome thought as she got ready to run. After lowering her barrier Kagome whispered, "I really did trust you…good bye…Inuyasha…SIT!"

After making sure that Inuyasha wouldn't follow her, Kagome ran to the window and jumped out only to realize that they were in a room that was by a cliff. "Damn it." Were the last words anyone had heard before she had fallen into the river below.

A/N: XD sorry about that but I couldn't help it. Please let me know what you think so far. Kagome will be out of the story for the next couple of chapters. But trust me her entrance WILL be big.
