Chapter 14

Inuyasha's POV

I watch as Sesshoumaru slowly but surly makes his way to where I am at with Kagome's Mom. I am confused by everything around me but I know I will get a lecture from Sesshoumaru before I get any answers.

I can tell by the way he's walking and the look in his eyes from afar that he is pissed off. Knowing him he will take it out on me.

"What did Naraku do to you?" He asks in a voice as cold as ice.

"He beat the shit out of me that's what. Or can't mister, I have a stick up my ass see that." I say.

"Don't push This Sesshoumaru half breed."

"Or what ya gonna do?"

"Don't cross This Sesshoumaru half breed, you want to end up dead."

"If you wanted me dead Sesshoumaru you would of killed me a long time ago."

"On the contrary I thought you would grow stronger and smarter and be a good appoint but you never did get any smarter."

"Why you dumb ass if your so smart why did you let Kagome get hurt."

Within a second I am being held in the air with Sesshoumaru's hand around my throat, I didn't think I hit a never but I would like to get to the bottom of things as to why I can smell Kagome all over Sesshoumaru.

"Don't question This Sesshoumaru half breed or I will not think twice about killing you here and now."

"Your not gutsy enough."

Sesshoumaru's POV

I growl at the half breed, he is right if I wanted him dead I would of killed him when I threw him out of the castle with his mother.

A hand comes onto my shoulder, I turn my head and kind Karo standing there with a solom look on his face.

"Put him down Sesshoumaru. As much as I know you want him dead, we need him alive." He says flatly.

"Hn."

At first I don't let him go, leaving the half breed to wonder, I can see by the look on his face that its getting even harder to breath and for a split I tighten my grip before letting him fall to the ground.

Without a word to anyone I head off in the direction of the bone eaters well to have some peaceful thinking. I find a tree with shade, I go over and sit down and pull one knee up and rest my arm on it.

It worries me on the inside that Kagome has lost so much blood in the battle with Naraku, I know that Kaede has been able to stop it momentarily but we don't know for how long.

I would love to have Kagome moved to my castle where she could be treated by my healers and in much better conditions then the old Miko's hut, but with the castle being a weeks travels away I would be risking Kagome's life by doing that.

I hear the voices of Rin and Shippo nearing my current position, I let a small smile slip through my ice cold exterior at the thought of Rin, my daughter.

Rin is such a carefree child, she doesn't have a care in the world. Her love for flowers reminds me of my Mother who loved her flowers.

I watch as Rin and Shippo enter into the clearing and look around. Rin spots me and a huge smile appears on her face.

"There you are Lord Sesshoumaru!" She says.

She takes Shippo's hand and drags him across the clearing to the tree I am resting under. She comes to a stop at my side and finally lets go of Shippo's arm and he stands at her side but looks down at his feet.

"What are you here for Rin?" I ask, a voice slightly softer then my normal tone.

"Shippo has something he wants to ask you Lord Sesshoumaru." Rin says in a cherry voice.

I look down at the small fox demon at Rin's side. I can smell fear radiating off of him in waves, I smirk at it.

"What is it Shippo?" I ask.

He looks up at me with a shy look on his face. " I was wondering Lord Sesshoumaru since you and my Mama are going to be mated if you would... um... maybe be my father." He asks.

I let my eyes go wide for a split second before returning them to normal. I never thought the little fox would come and ask me that, I knew he would be living with us since he is Kagome's son but I never expected him to come right out and ask me to be his father.

"Of course Shippo, I will be your father." I say in the same soft tone I use with Rin.

"Really?" He asks.

"Yes."

"YA!"

He jumps up and before I know it he has his little arms around my neck hugging me like there is no tomorrow. I place a hand on his back and pat it. Within a few minutes he jumps back and lands beside Rin with a big smile on his face.

"Thank you father." He says and bows slightly.

"Hn." I reply.

"We are going to head back to the village Lo I mean Father." Rin says.

"Okay."

The two of them head back the way they came with a bounce in each of their steps signaling to any on looker that they are two happy children at the moment.

I turn my head up towards the sky seeing how blue it is after everything that happened today. For one thing I am mad at myself for letting my beast come out and take control.

I swear it will not happen again in battle against Naraku but when he took Kagome like that I just snapped without a second thought.

I stand up and start walking back towards the village to check on Kagome and see how she is. With her combination of demonic and miko powers she should of already started to heal.

Back At The Village

Sango's POV

I set beside a sleeping Kagome in Kaede's hut. I can hear Rin and Shippo outside playing with Souta and the other village children and life trys to get back to normal after Naraku's attack on the village.

Miroku, Kaede and Kagome's Grandfather left after Sesshoumaru left to check the village out and to make sure no nusem demons are not larking around.

I look down at Kagome's peaceful face, knowing that she would do what ever possible to protect the ones she loves, even if that means giving up her own life.

"Oh Kagome, how you have changed yet you still continue to give. Will you ever put yourself first." I say to myself.

I do not hear or see the demon lord enter into the hut until he speaks.

"Kagome always put others first and herself second when she was a child." He says.

I snap my head around to find the demon lord standing not far from me, but not looking at me for his eyes are fixated on Kagome's sleeping form beside me.

"She need's to put herself first for once instead." I say.

"Hn, she is unselfish and always has been" He replies.

"What was Kagome like when she was a child?"

"She was carefree, much like Rin actually. She always wanted me to play games with her."

"Kagome still is carefree but she knows she has a duty."

"That duty she wants to fully complete and I have a feeling that we will not be mates until she does."

"I wonder if her duty will ever be over with Naraku around."

"The half breed will be delt with soon enough."

"Sesshoumaru we have been trying to get rid of Naraku for almost three years."

"But Kagome did not have her Demonic powers before and she is more trained in her Miko powers then before."

"Does Kagome remeber how to use her demonic powers?"

"No, she can also not control her beast. Myself along with her mother and father need to help train her in these so that the next encounter with Naraku she will be prepared."

"Sesshoumaru she needs time to rest."

"I know that, her training will begin after she is fully healed and ready."

"What do we do if Naraku shows up again before that?"

"Keep Kagome as far away from the battle as we can until he is gone."

"Okay."

I turn my head around to Kagome and can't help but feel sorry for her. She can never be happy or truly free until the Shikon Jewel is together and Naraku is destroyed once and for all.

"Would you like to be alone with her Sesshoumaru?" I ask him.

"Hn."

I take that as a yes so I stand up and walk past the demon lord giving him a once more glance over before leaving him alone with Kagome in Kaede's hut.

I look around the small village and I see Kagome's parents and Inuyasha over on the outskirts of the village talking and I decide to go over to them.

At Naraku's Castle

Naraku's POV

I look at Kagura beside me who is badly wounded from the demon at the village who I have never seen before. There was people there that I have never seen before but I will soon know who they are.

I wanted to go and see if what Kagura said was true about Kagome being turned into a demon. She for once was telling the truth and what a beautiful demoness Kagome is now.

I could tell by her sent that Kagome and Sesshoumaru mated but he did not mark her as his mate but gave her a courting mark where he will place is matting mark, that is if I don't have her first.

I had not use for the half breed and I know the spell I placed on him would wear off which is why I didn't bother to try and retrieve him from the demoness who knocked him out of the battle.

The the battle did not at all go as I had planned, I wanted Kagome back with me to make her my mate but the demon had to intersect and let Sesshoumaru send a attack at me.

"Kagura." I say.

"Yes Naraku." She says in a weak voice.

"Go out and find the wolf Kouga, he was at the village but left. I want to know where to."

"Of course Naraku."

She stands up weakly and makes her way across my room to the balcony where she takes a feather out of her hair and she takes off to the sky to find the wolf Kouga.

At The Village Of Edo

Sesshoumaru's POV

I noticed after Sango left that the wolf Kouga and his men are gone, which is a surprise since the wolf probably wanted to say goodbye to Kagome but everyone probably didn't want him to.

I lean down and check Kagome's wounds which have just started to heal. I use some of my saliva and place it on her wounds since a Inuyoukai's saliva is healing.

I lean down and kiss the snowflake on the middle of her forehead. "Sleep my beautiful Kagome." I whisper.

I sit back against the wall of the Miko's hut and watch over Kagome as she sleeps peacefully.
