Chapter 13

Sango, Rin, Miroku, and Inuyasha all walked into to Rin's place only to be shocked at what they saw. There before them stood a half dressed Kagome with the phone to her ear and books all around her. Before any of them could say a word, they heard her hiss out, "Like I give a rat's ass who you think you are. Put my aunt on the phone this minute before I get you fired the moment I get there you little shit face."

"Umm…Kagome." Sango called as she closed the door behind her.

"I'll be with you girls in a bit; I just need to get the rooms changed. I am not sharing a room with the two bitches." Kagome was heard before she added, "Auntie? Hi, this is Kagome…yeah I miss you too…um I'm going up this weekend but I was hoping you'd help me out it a problem."

"What is she doing? We don't have money in our budget to get her, her own room." Sesshomaru growled.

"Yeah I know, but I figured I'd have some money saved up after working for you and uncle these past couple of summers." Kagome was heard as she began to stretch out her muscles.

"Oh," Inuyasha was heard.

"She isn't a free loader." Rin hissed out as she began to make her way to the kitchen.

"Yeah, but I don't plan on using all of it, yeah, I know…but it's a school thing, I made it to the student council." Kagome stated as she began to reach for the notebook she had been given to write in and return at the end of the year.

"Do you guys want anything to drink?" Sango asked as she began to follow after Rin.

"I'd love some water." Miroku stated as he followed after her.

"Thanks, yeah the school is paying for it," Kagome answered the questions that were being thrown at her as she turned around to face her friends only to freeze when she noticed the two inu demons staring at her. "Uh…yeah, well…if you're not using that old room…alright…see you in a couple of days…make sure the arrangements are taken care of…bye….love you too."

"It would seem that you were really wounded." Sesshomaru stated once she had placed the phone down.

"What the hell do you think you are doing here?" Kagome hissed as she was about to storm up to them to kick them out only to stop and fall onto the couch as Rin grabbed her wounded arm and said, "You are going to drink this first."

"Yes mother." Kagome mocked.

"Really, we should have just drugged you if you were going to do this to yourself." Sango added as she walked in with Miroku behind her.

"Should have, could have, but didn't." Kagome whispered before drinking the liquid that Rin had given her.

"We came to make sure you were alright." Inuyasha stated as he watched her drink.

"Well as you can see…I'm just fine." Kagome answered as she stood up to take the cup to the kitchen.

"You still need bed rest." Rin pointed out.

"I'll be fine once I get to the spa." Kagome told them.

"Alright, so what did you manage to get done that we'll be turning in for you tomorrow?" Sango asked.

"First of all I know why those two are here, but why the hell is Miroku here?" Kagome stated as she locked eyes with the monk. "I can't think of any reason he could or have to see me."

"I have a few questions for you but they can wait if you have things to take care of with my two cousins." Miroku answered before Sango could say a word.

"Rin…how long has it been?" Kagome asked.

"Long, it should work starting now but you only have five minutes so make it count." Rin answered.

"What is she talking about?" Inuyasha growled.

"What did you?" Sesshomaru growled out in anger.

"Nothing, so did you get my reports or did you ignore my friends?" Kagome asked.

"We got the reports and everyone is working from there, what we need to know you did not provide." Sesshomaru answered.

"Ah, about that." She stated as she turned back around and leaned over the couch and over to her backpack where she had the papers. "I finished them a while back, come to think of it the day I had to throw Koga out the window so I didn't get to give it to you guys that day."

"You're the one that broke the window?" Inuyasha asked.

"Yeah, but I had it fixed." Kagome answered as if nothing as she walked over to the two and handed them each a report. "There, now is that all?"

"Feh," Inuyasha growled as he dropped his school coat on her before adding, "That's all, see you later Miroku."

"I trust you can treat her until she is ready for the weekend." Sesshomaru was head as he locked eyes with Rin briefly before following after his brother.

With a sweet smile on her face, Rin nodded and said, "You can count on me…fluffy."

Once they were gone, Kagome turned to Miroku and said, "I'm not saying much so don't think that you can try to get to Rin or Sango or Ayame without paying for it."

"How did you know?" Miroku asked in a calm but serious voice as he took a seat where she had been before she had walked over to the spot where the two inu demons had been standing.

"I got a call from a friend; we'll leave it at that. Now what do you want." Kagome hissed out in anger.

"It's just information that I'm looking for and nothing less." He stated.

"This wouldn't happen to have anything to do with the guy that just got arrested breaking lose would it?" Kagome asked.

"You don't have to be so mean about it." Rin stated as she turned to leave. "I got work so let yourselves out."

"Sure, I have to go home soon, once Miroku is done here." Sango stated.

"Actually I have to get home, I was planning on walking." Kagome stated.

As soon as those words left her mouth, both Sango and Rin froze. While Sango glared at Miroku, Rin looked at her and asked, "Are you sure? If you want I'll call in so that I can walk you home."

"I'll be fine, both of you don't need to worry. I'm sure your fluffy will kill Miroku here if anything else happens to me." Kagome answered with a grin on her face as she buttoned up Inuyasha's coat.

"Fine, just call the minute you get home and finish talking with your parents." Rin stated before leaving the house.

"I want to hear from you the moment you reach the front door." Sango hissed before she also took her leave.

Once the girls were gone, Miroku turned to look at Kagome and asked, "Just what exactly did you mean by a walk?"

"You wanted to know about him…well you can meet him yourself." Kagome hissed out in anger as she began to put her things away.

"He's in town?" Miroku asked.

"You'll see what I'm talking about, but for the time being you'll have to promise to drink something the moment your done getting whatever it is you need to get from him." Kagome answered in a serious voice as she walked into the kitchen.

"Agreed." Miroku answered without a second thought.

"Oh, and drink this first…" Kagome stated, "We're going to the forbidden ruins and the last thing we need is someone sensing you there."

Knowing that he would have to wait and see what she was talking about, Miroku hid his aura and waited for her to lead the way. Once she had left the house she began to make her way toward the forest that surrounded the western part of the town. Once they had reached the edge and a fenced area, Kagome turned to him and said, "Alright, from here on out, you need to drink this so that your power is hidden and you need to stay close to me."

"Alright but what about the necklace? Its traceable you know." Miroku pointed out as he recognized it.

"What are you talking about? How do you know that it could or would do that?" Kagome asked as she took a step away from him.

"I was there when my father and uncle blessed it. Not even the king will be able to protect you if you go in here. You need to leave it somewhere." Miroku told her.

"I can't take it off…I've tried but after Koga attacked me it won't let me." Kagome explained.

"I see, than I can't let you get into trouble. I'll go in on my own." Miroku stated in a calm and serious voice.

'Damn, this is going to bit me in the ass, the shit Rin makes isn't strong enough to make him forget what I'm about to show him…fuck it if he opens his mouth I'll just have him killed…not really but hurting him will differently happen.' Kagome thought as she took in a calming breath and said, "And have you killed I don't think so, just hold on…and whatever you may see you better not tell a soul."

Before he could even ask her what it was she was talking about, Miroku watched with an open mouth as Kagome closed her eyes and began to glow a light pink color. He watched as the jewel that had been around her neck disappeared and fused with her sink. It was then that he realized he could no longer sense the power and the protection the jewel gave her. As she had made eye contact with him, Kagome smile and said, "I'll kill you if you tell a soul."

"You're a miko…when…how…why haven't you been trained?" Miroku asked out in a low whisper.

With a smile on her face, Kagome grinned and answered, "Do you want to meet the man that helped me heal after Koga's heart break or do you want me to explain why I keep this a secret."

After shaking his head, Miroku locked eyes with her and said, "No, it's alright. Lead the way, I'll not tell a soul, but I do encourage you to train your power properly."

By the time they had reached the entrance that had been hidden, Kagome turned to him and said, "Don't say a word until after I've spoke to you…got it?"

"Why?" Miroku asked.

"It's to keep you alive, now follow me, don't worry you won't get hurt." Kagome answered before you jumped down and into a dead tree.

Once as soon as he had landed and re-adjusted to the lighting, Miroku found Kagome blocking an attack and knocking back the last of the demons that had attacked her. Before he could even jump in, Kagome held out her wrist for them all to see just as the seal was removed and a lotus flower with thirteen petals were revealed. Before he could even say a word, she smiled at all the new bees' and said, "That's right, I'm back and I got some business with my ex-love so back off. The monk is with me."

"Do you even know who he is Kagome?" a familiar voice was heard.

"Hey Bank, it's alright. I got it covered." Kagome answered.

"If he blows it you'll have to deal with the fact that you cost him his life." Bank added as he approached her.

"I can handle it, where is he?" Kagome hissed out in a distance and cold voice.

Miroku had heard her use a cold tone but never one like this. It was like her heart had frozen over, like nothing could get close to her. She would kill in a heartbeat with this face and he knew it, it also made him wondered if she had ever killed anyone while in the two years she had been with this man and his gang.

"In the back room, you should know which one. But he isn't happy at the moment." Bank warned her.

"You had to tell him didn't you? Why couldn't you leave things be?" Kagome hissed as she began to walk away.

Once they were away from everyone else and once Miroku had caught up to her, Miroku leaned in and said, "You know Rin is going to kill me right?"

"No she isn't because she isn't going to find out, so shut up before I hurt you." Kagome hissed.

But before Miroku could say another word, the two froze when they heard a deep low voice say, "You just signed his death certificate love."

"Sorry to say baby but I'll kick your ass if you even try." Kagome answered with a grin on her face as she walked over to him.

"Kagome?" Miroku called in a worried voice. He wasn't sure if she should get to close to him since she was still injured and probably had some reopened wounds.

"I'm fine Miroku, Haku would never hurt me." Kagome answered as she walked up to him and give a light kiss on the lips.

Before Miroku could say another word, Kagome jumped back as she heard a women's voice say, "I will kill you if you try that again you slut."

"Kagome, love meet my soon to be mate…Yuka." Haku stated.

"Well, why don't we leave you boys to talk and Yuka and I can get to know each other a little better." Kagome stated as she locked eyes with the girl.

"I'll lead the way," Yuka was head before Haku could stop the two girls.

Before Miroku could say a word, he watched as Kagome walked off with the cat demon at her side. Once the girls were out of the way and out of hearing range, Haku turned to face Miroku with a grin on his face and said, "You certainly saved me the trouble in having you kidnapped for a while. Therefore if I help you, you will have to help me in return."
