Chapter Fourteen
She is Missed

At Kagome's village, Sota was finishing his rounds and he was glad that Koga was in his hut.

"I hope that you're having a great birthday sis." Sota thought. "I'm sure having a tough one without you."

Sesshomaru came up from behind and he put his hand on his shoulder.

"Don't be sad Sota." Sesshomaru said. "I'm sure that Inuyasha is taking very good care of her."

"I'm sure he it's just it's the first time without her on our birthday. I just need to get use to it." Sota said. "She is terribly missed by everyone."

"Yes she is Sota." Sesshomaru said. "Do you have a letter for her?"

"No not yet." Sota answered. "I guess I should start doing that now since I'm not doing anything important at the moment."

"Alright Sota." Sesshomaru said. "Jaken should be here tomorrow morning."

"Okay Sesshomaru I'll have it ready before hand." Sota said.

"I'll see you then." Sesshomaru said.

Sesshomaru went back to his hut and Sota went to his own hut.

"Grandma, do you think that Kagome is safe at the castle?" Sota asked.

"Of course she is Sota." Kaede answered. "I met some of the employees that work for Inuyasha and they are very nice and amiable people."

"I guess she is." Sota said. "I'm going to write a letter and Jaken will be here tomorrow morning. Why don't you write her one, grandma?"

"Yes I should shouldn't I?" Kaede answered.

Sota handed Kaede paper and a quill to write and she began to write as Sota did the same.

"Why am I so worried about Kagome?" Sota thought as he wrote. "I'm sure that Inuyasha is taking very good care of her."

In Koga's hut, Koga was very frustrated and he hated being in the hut.

"Damn it." Koga said in anger. "Why in the hell did Kagome put these damn beads on me?"

"You follow everywhere she goes Koga." A female wolf demon answered. "She never has some time for herself. If I was her, I would've done the same thing."

"Are you kidding me, mom?" Koga asked. "She can't be alone out here when they're demons that could attack in any moment."

"That's really a lame excuse Koga." Koga's mother answered. "She has her spiritual powers in case of any attack. She could take care of you with a flick of her wrist."

Koga's mother was identical except she had her female features of course. Her blue eyes were pools of seas that you could get lost in and they had a certain softness to them that Koga didn't have. She had a muscular and toned body. Her skin tone was tanned like Koga's. Koga's mother always told Koga what he needed to hear and she never lied to him. That's what one of the reasons why he loved his mother. She was truly honest with him in everything that they would talk about.

"Are you calling me weak, mother?" Koga asked.

"Don't put words in my mouth young man and watch your tone with me." Koga's mother answered. "You may be of age but I could still whip you. I've fought with her before and I've seen a little bit of what she can do."

"Yes she's a powerful woman and I would love to make her my mate one day." Koga said.

"Koga, don't get your hopes up with Kagome." Koga's mother said. "I've been telling you that since the first time you told me that."

"You've been telling me that since I was a cub." Koga said.

"And it still hasn't gone through that thick head of yours!" Koga's mother said. "I swear you're worse than your stubborn father."

"I won't stop until she's mine mother!" Koga said.

"I said it once and I'll say it again." Koga's mother said. "You're just wasting your time with her. Quit before you are ahead."

Koga and his mother heard a knock on the wood of the door and someone stuck their head in the door.

"Hey Akina, are you ready to go hunting?" The panther demon asked.

"I'll be there in a second Shiori." Akina said. "Could you wait for me outside?"

"Sure." Shiori answered.

Shiori went outside and she waited for Akina at a safe distance.

"Koga, please follow my advice." Akina said. "Let go of the idea of mating with Kagome. You could only be friends and nothing more. You're just wasting your time with these fantasies."

Akina got up and she gave Koga a kiss on the forehead. Akina went to Shiori and they went hunting. Koga became frustrated so he punched into his hand.

"I'm sorry mother." Koga said. "She's my mate to be and I will not let her go. I must find a way to get her out of the castle."

At Sesshomaru's hut, Sesshomaru and Rin were playing with their pups and Rin became pensive.

"What are you thinking about, Rin?" Sesshomaru asked.

"I'm just wondering how Kagome is doing." Rin answered. "I still can't believe that if it wasn't for her I wouldn't be here."

"Yes mate, she did something miraculous that day." Sesshomaru said. "I will never be able to pay my debt to her."

"Neither will I Sesshomaru." Rin said. "Hey Sesshomaru, I was wondering when will the pups loose their demonic powers?"

Sesshomaru became pensive at the question and he opened his eyes wide.

"What's wrong?" Rin asked.

"There night is the night of the new moon." Sesshomaru answered. "The same night that Inuyasha would turn human."

"Oh my goodness that's a little odd." Rin said. "At least we're a little prepared."

"You have no idea, Rin." Sesshomaru said smiling.

"Is there something that I need to know?" Rin asked with a raised brow.

"Well, it's a cute story; however, I know that we will go through the same thing with the pups and we're a little prepared." Sesshomaru answered. "The day of the new moon, Inuyasha was loosing his powers little by little so he was crying at the sudden change. When Izayoi picked him up, he cried even harder especially when he turned completely human. It was the opposite with my father though. He was sleeping soundly in his arms."

"Why did he do that though?" Rin asked.

"He didn't understand that he was turning human for the night." Sesshomaru answered. "He didn't feel that Izayoi was strong enough to protect him in his confusing and weak state of mind so he was trusting father with his life in the night of the new moon."

"Oh goodness and I bet that Izayoi felt terrible and helpless." Rin said.

"You have no idea." Sesshomaru said. "She cried most of the night as well; however, she did understand the situation."

"We'll when that day comes, the twins with their father all day." Rin said grinning. "As I sleep the entire day unless I have to feed them."

"Yes that's basically all you can do." Sesshomaru said.

Sesshomaru was thinking about what she said and he was a little upset.

"Hey that's not nice." Sesshomaru said folding his arms.

"I'm sorry Sesshomaru I'm not a demon." Rin said smiling.

"Lucky wench." Sesshomaru whispered.

"What was that?" Rin asked in fury.

"Nothing dear." Sesshomaru answered nervously.

"I thought so." Rin said grinning.

"Man she's scary when she's mad." Sesshomaru thought. "Note to self: Do not piss off mate…ever!"
