(The team headed out in search of Naraku)
"What's wrong Kagome?" Inuyasha asked snapping her back to reality.
"I'm not sure, for some reason something doesn't feel right?"
"What do you mean mommy"
"I mean that we haven't heard or saw any signs of Naraku in a while" everyone stopped and stared at her "Never mind" she said starting to move forward "forget I said anything, I'm just being paranoid" she said smiling trying put her friends at ease. It wasn't working everyone had their guard up and went to catch up with the miko. Little did they know, they were being watched from a distance.
~Somewhere in the forest~
"What's wrong with her?" he demanded
"I'm afraid I do not know, she just collapsed, I think she maybe ill" he said a little worried.
"It is your job to look out for, when did she get sick" the man demanded glaring at her so called protector.
"I am very sorry, sometimes she runs off on her own and try to c—"he was cut when the man knocked him the head.
"You will remain here at her side, when I return and she is gone you will pay with your life" he said without any emotion. The servant gulped and bowed as the heartless man left. The man went into the forest in search for aide for the girl when picked up a scent of someone who maybe of some use. He wasted no time and headed for the familiar scent.
~With Inuyasha~
The group continued their journey until Inuyasha growled angrily sniffing the air.
"Inuyasha, what's wrong" asked the concern miko. He just drew his sword getting ready to attack
"I—"she gasped when someone grabbed her from behind, she was about to scream but relaxed when she saw who it was "It's you" she said hugging the figure, who surprisingly hugged back.
(Everyone was in pure shock of what was happening, except Inuyasha who didn't notice but was blinded by anger)
(AU NOTE: Just to let you know, none of Kagomes friends were aware that she and the man were friends, he is only nice to her and the little girl in the forest)
Inuyasha growled when he saw that he had Kagome "RELEASE HER NOW" he demanded
"Hello little brother" he replied in an ice cold tone "she is coming with me" he said and took off in the blink of an eye.
"What just happened" asked the monk "did Sesshomaru kidnap Kagome?" he asked looking at where the two once stood
"Better question is did they just hug" asked the dumbfounded demon slayer. She was going ask Inuyasha what he thought but he was nowhere to be found. He left long ago following their scent trying to rescue Kagome. The monk and demon slayer got on the neko demon as they caught up with Inuyasha.
~Sesshomaru/Kagome~
"Fluffy where are we going" she asked hanging on for dear life as he carried her bridal style.
"Rin is sick and I do not know anything about medicine" he said.
~Inuyasha~
'If he hurts Kagome he will die' he thought to himself growling his eyes starting to blink from amber to red repeatedly
~In the forest~
"How is she?" (Kagome)
"Oh Lady Kagome it is good seeing you" he smiling at her then turned back to Rin "she is burning up" Kagome walked over to her and felt her forehead.
It was burning hot. "Its okay Sesshy, she'll be fine, she only has a fever, and I have just the thing for it" she said reaching into her pack and pulled out 2 bottles of water an ice pack and some Tylenol. She sat Rin up. "Rin wake up, it's me Kagome" she whispered putting the girl on her lap. "Kagome" she said weakly.
"Rin, I need you to take this pill a swallow it without chewing, drink the water while you swallow so it can go down easier okay" she nodded in agreement. "She'll be fine, just make sure she drinks the bottle of waters when she wakes up" she said smiling at Sesshomaru. "Will you stay here as well when she wakes up" he asked. "I will love to" she said happily
"Mommy where are you" shippo cried out from behind a tree looking for Kagome. She heard the cry and sat Rin down gently in the grass then ran to fine her son who was crying. "Shippo, its okay I'm right here, I will always be here for you" she said picking him up and holding tight walking back to the others. "Shhhh shippo, please calm down everything will be alright, you're safe here okay" she sad softly cradling him in his arms. "Kagome" Sesshomaru said getting serious. "What is that and why is he calling you mommy" he said glaring daggers at the kit which only made cry more.
SESSY" she yelled softly not trying to wake Rin. "This is shippo and he is my son" he growled at the thought of some low life fox demon mating his little sister. "I know what you're thinking, but he his my adopted son, I haven't given birth to any one" Sesshomaru regained his composure.
"KAGOME!" as if on cue, a certain group appears
"Inuyasha" she said
"Sesshomaru you bastard, how dare you take Kagome" he yelled charging at his brother bearing his claws. "Inuyasha please wait" but her plea didn't help, Inuyasha transformed. This wasn't good at all, she did the one thing that transform him back. "Inuyasha sit boy" he went plummeting to the ground
"KAGOME!" yelled her other friends coming to her side. "Kagome are you alright" Sango said squeezing the life out of her while Miroku got in front of them protectively along with Kilala. "Sa . . .Sang. . .O . . .I can't breathe" she said pleading for air "Oops sorry" she said letting go.
"Kagome . . ." Inuyasha growled irritated picking himself off the ground "What the hell was that for, he kidnaps you but you attack me" he said yelling finally waking up Rin. Sesshomaru saw the frustration in his little sister and intervened "What the hell Sesshomaru" Inuyasha yelled as his brother knocked him to the ground "If you would just shut up, maybe she can actually explain you idiot" he said walking to Kagome "Thank you Sessy" she said hugging him
(Everyone was beyond confused)
"Okay" she began to explain herself "so long story short, me and Sesshomaru developed a sisterly-brotherly bond a while back after I helped Rin" she said pointing to the young when she said her name"which is why I wasn't at all scared when he grabbed me earlier. I was trying to explain that he didn't want to do any harm, but someone left before I could say anything" she said glaring at Sesshomaru who just shrugged and sat next to her glaring daggers at her friends.
(Everyone was speechless)
"Inuyasha, where are you going" she asked when he headed for the forest
"For a walk" he sad in a tone as cold as his brother who wasn't pleased at the sight of Kagome being talked to in such a manner "Don't come for me, I will come back later so we can continue our search"he said with no emotion as leapt into the trees. They stared at the miko sadly who made her way behind a tree and cried softly into her lap. Sesshomaru was furious and went out to set his foolish brother straight.
~Inuyasha~
'How the hell did those two become so close and why didn't she tell me before when it happened. Of all people she had to be friends with the one I hate more then anything' he thought angrily and a little hurt that she kept it a secret for so long.
~Back in the open~
"Kagome are you alright" asked Sango hugging her as she cried into her chest
"Why (sob) is (sob) mad (sob) at me?" she asked trying to stop the tears from coming
"I don't know but Sesshomaru left to go after him for you" she said softly "Hey you know what will cheer you up?" "What (sob)?" "This" she said as the miko started to laugh when Sango started a tickle fight."*Sniff* thank you Sango you're the best"she said resting on her chest "anytime Kagome"
(The opposite sides of the clearing were the monk, kitsune, Rin, and Jaken)
"That stupid Idiot" the monk said furiously to himself "how dare he talk Kagome like that"
"What's wrong with mommy, I can smell her tears from here" the kit asked looking at the tree where the two girls sat."Inuyasha was being is usual idiotic self"the monk replied
"Why do you call her mommy?" Rin asked"I thought you were a full demon" "I am"shippo explained "I don't have a mommy or daddy anymore, and Kagome treats me like a son so asked if I could call her mommy and she said yes, you can ask if you want" her eyes widened, she didn't know what it was like to have a mom anymore. She hoped Kagome would allow her call her mommy.
~Inuyasha/Sesshomaru~
"Go aw—"he was cut short by his brother punching him in the gut.
"WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?" Inuyasha yelled. Sesshomaru didn't respond until after he punched his brother again sending him flying.
"No words can describe how stupid and foolish you are"he said keeping him composure the entire time, but not letting him get a word in edge wised.
"I do not care that you hate me, but you will not take your anger out on her especially in my presence. The fact that you hate our bond so much that you would throw her to the side as if she was nothing only makes me want to kill you more. You were fortunate enough to find someone who loves and cares for as much as she does, she will do anything to keep you safe and well, she would even die for you." He said in his usually icy tone.
"Yet you treat her like garbage. She is back their crying her eyes out wondering if you, a half breed, hates her. Most people would ignore creatures like you but the one person who gave everything you've ever wanted and you push her away." He grabbed him the neck slamming him into a tree "You will go back to her and beg for her forgiveness, you do whatever it takes, whether begging or you ending up on your knees, I do not care" he said letting Inuyasha go "but if I see her like that again because of you I will not hesitate at removing her from your side for good." He said before he went back towards the others. He sat there scolding himself for what he did and for such a stupid reason.
After a while he made his way to camp to find that everyone was asleep. When he saw Kagome, his heart broke in two. There she was, sitting against a tree legs pulled to her chest and hands covering her face. She reeked of tears. She was crying softly trying not to make any noise. He was about to approach her but was stopped by Sesshomaru.
"You will talk to her tomorrow, for right now she needs rest" he said walking to Kagome picking her up in his arms
"f-fluffy" she asked quietly "kagome, you need your rest, stop crying and go to sleep" Sesshomaru said placing her in his lap covering her with a blanket. She slowly drifted off. Inuyashas ears were flat against his head at seeing the pain he caused her as he sat in a tree looking down at her.
'I am so sorry Kagome'
~Morning~
(Everybody was awake and well rested, even Kagome who was playing with Shippo, Rin and Kilala)
"What the hell is wrong with you?" Miroku says in a low deadly voice "we went through all that trouble for two to be together, but like always, you find some way to mess it up" Sango said wanting to strangle him "don't think for minute that we feel sorry for you Inuyasha" she continued"you made this mess, and you're damn well gonna clean it up" the monk finished as they left Inuyasha to go back to camp.
~15 minutes later~
"Kagome . . ." he said when she jumped to feet backing away a little. He felt horrible
"Y-y-yes Inuyasha" she whimpered looking at the ground trying to stop the tears from coming back. He stepped closer, but she stepped back.
"Kagome, I'm—"she cut him off.
"Inuyasha I'm sorry" he looked at her confused.
'Why is she sorry, she did nothing wrong' he thought to himself. "Kagome"
"Inuyasha whatever I did wrong, please tell me so that I can fix it, I know I did something so please tell me so I can fix it, I don't want to loose you again"she said as if her heart gave out. Her tears began to fall. After hearing that, he wanted to die.
"I can't take the pain of you hating me" she said covering her face with her hands. His heart couldn't take it anymore; he pulled her into a strong embrace.
"Kagome, please calm down" he said cradling her in his lap. "I don't hate you at all, I'm not even angry at you, I never was. I should be the one begging for your forgiveness. I'm the one who hurt you so badly and I'll do any thing to make it right." He said baring his face in hair.
"I was just acting like an idiot, the hate and anger I have towards my brother came out at you when I saw you two were so close, I couldn't take it, but I don't care anymore, just because we hate each other doesn't mean you two can't share a bond. As long as he doesn't hurt you, I don't care." He said embracing her.
"Does this(sob) mean (sob) it's (sniff) not over between (sniff) us Inuyasha?" "Kagome . . . I should be asking you that"he said starring into her puffy brown puppy eyes "then no, it isn't over" she said happily like a child as she hugged him."But promise me you won't be angry with me anymore Inuyasha" she pleaded "I can never be angry with you, even If I wanted to" he said
~Later that evening
"Good bye Sessy" the miko and slayer said at the same time.
"You will address me as Lord Sesshomaru" he growled at the slayer giving her a deadly glare. She hid behind Kagome who rolled her eyes.
"Good bye Fluffy, I'm going to miss you" she hugging him. "You will be missed also little sister" he said hugging back. He turned and glared at his half brother.
"Remember what I said, for it was not a threat but a promise that I will keep" he said in a deadly growl. She looked at Inuyasha then back at Sesshomaru confused "What promise Sessy" she asked "It's nothing to worry about Kagome, just promise me you will be happy" she smiled "I promise"
"NOOOO" Rin cried running into her arms "Rin what's wrong?" Kagome asked concerned "I-I-I don't want you to leave me mommy?"
Kagomes eyes widened. 'Did she just call me Mommy?' she thought to herself. "Rin did you just call me Mommy"
"Y-Y-Yes, is that okay" she calming down "Yes, Yes it is" she said rejoicing picking her up in her arms "I would love it if you called me mommy" she said hugging her.
Anime sweat drop. . . . 'Does she have to adopt every child that comes her way?'her friends thought looking at the rejoicing miko
"Does that mean you'll stay?" she asked hopefully. She looked at the little girl with a sad smile "I'm sorry Rin" Rin started to cry. "There is something very important we have to do first before I can remain in just one place." She said trying to soothe her. "But I can promise that we will meet up again" she said looking at Sesshomaru who nodded in agreement. "Okay" she said softly hugging her new mommy good bye. She stared heart broken at the little girl who hid behind a tree. She turned to Sesshomaru and gave him a sad smile good bye and left to go to her friends.
