Here is another chapter, sorry that I have been slacking off a lot of stuff has come up to keep me away from my story. To answer some questions. This story, unless I make a sequal to it, is going to be very long. I mean very long. This story originally started out as only a thirty chapter story, as you can see that changed. Um I would like to thank the people that have been helping me and complimenting me on my story. I did not know that midoriko was spelt with an i and not an e. BUT, its to late now lol. oh well. If any one has any advise or suggestions as to what they like or dislike or what they want to see in the future plz feel free to voice your opinion. If you all perfer a sequel to this Story and want me to end it within the next few chapters let me know about that too. Any ways I guess I should shut up and let you read hu?

Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha. Or any of the original characters of Inuyasha. All my characters were killed off for the most part. damn.

The Rise

Miroku and Koga had just sealed a deal on one of the hotels that Sesshomaru's business had been trying to buy when they got a funny feeling on the back of their neck. The same feeling they got when ever Naraku was near. They gave each other knowing looks before packing up their briefcases and leaving to their cars.

"Hey Miroku, what do you think that feeling was all about?"

"Not sure. I will probably inquire Lady Kagome's knowledge of this new up rise at the reunion party."

"Still does it not creep you out? Don't you want to find out now?"

"Easy Koga. You know Sesshomaru-sama does not like us going around sniffing for trouble. No pun intended."

"None taken. Your right."

"Hai. Let us go. The party will be soon."

Kagome had just woken up and found the most beautiful dress sitting on her desk waiting for. Along with it were matching flat footed shoes, flowers, saltines and chocolate, and a beautifully decorated card. She knew instantly that it was from Sesshomaru. For some reason today she felt as if maybe she could be nice. Who knows.

Kagome took a quick shower and then put the clothes on before reading the letter. Once the letter was read she knew to expect the limo within the hour to pick her up for a surprise dinner. She was excited but at the same time afraid. She had not truly been out in public since she got back so she was scared as to how every one would look at her. She wondered how her friends looked at her. After all she was different. With her illusion spell she went back to being the normal Kagome that every one knew. Dark hair only to the small of her back, brown eyes, and short nails. Yep, that is who every one saw. But when she was alone, she dropped her spell and studied herself in the mirror. She was taller and had blue eyes, she would do this every time and every time she would end up saying something like bla bla woof woof because she was so tired of trying to find something different. She knew what she was looking for. She wanted to know what type of youkai she was.

In the four months that she had been pregnant, she had done research on the spell that had been carved into her back. Apparently it did not matter what type of blood is given to you, for your demon beast is determined by your soul. Since Kagome's soul was pure, would this make her a pure demon? She made a note to herself to ask Sesshomaru about it later. She was sure though that he would refuse to let her find out until after the babies were born. She giggled at the thought of Sesshomaru looking horrified because she wanted to be in her 'true form'.

The limo arrived and Kagome climbed in. It was the same driver. And that same driver still kept creeping her out. There was just something about that limo driver that made her skin crawl. Warning bells began to go off as well as her miko and demon senses. She did not know what to do. She had already gotten into the limo and was already enroute to her next destination. She just hoped that she would not have to purify any one.

Sesshomaru had been barking orders for the past hour making sure that every thing was perfect. His 'guests' and 'presents' were in the living room chatting with each other. They all reminisced about the old days and the war. They also realized that only those who could take a human form survived. This made Sango sad at first to have lost her partner Kirara, but then was reminded that she was not really lost, she just had to hide in her human form. Yes Kirara some how managed to discover her humanoid form. She lived in America now working for Sesshomaru over there as a liaison and langouste.

Laughter was heard and Sesshomaru brought his attention to the group. "What is so amusing to you little brother?"

"Oh nothing, just that you act as if your life depends on this."

"Shove it dip shit."

"Hey what the hell is your problem?"

"Nothing."

"You and Kagome had another fight didn't you?"

"I said shut up."

"Ha you did."

"Grrr."

"Sesshomaru-sama?" Rin said giggling.

"What Rin?" Sesshomaru asked in a more gentle tone.

"I think it might be wise for you to relax. After all Kagome is a demon now and she will sense your discomfort."

Sesshomaru let out a sigh.

"You know my mate is right otou-san."

"Yes Shippou I know."

"So then what are you planning to do? Maybe a relaxing in the hotsprings?"

"No Kohaku, there is no time for that, she will be here soon."

"Hey Sess, that reminds me, Miroku and I sensed something earlier that we need to talk to you about. Something way to familiar for comfort."

"What was it?"

"A bad aura, Sesshomaru-sama, almost that of Naraku but not quite. We could not pin point it and we did not investigate either."

"Thank you Miroku. Koga."

"No problem."

"Inuyasha, I am going to go get drinks and snacks and finger foods for every one. Ayame? Sango? Rin?"

"Yeppers right behind you."

Sesshomaru shook his head and sighed. He could not stand the slang that kids used these days. It had been Rin that had responded. Before he could say any thing though he got an uneasy feeling swelling up inside his chest. He reached out to search for his mate and found her in the limo heading for his castle. This confused him, why would his mate be feeling uneasy about coming to him? Had he done something wrong? He had to find out, the feeling that was radiating from his mate was suffocating. Panic, pure fear.

'Kagome?'

'Sess? Help me please. I do not trust this limo driver, he is scaring me.'

'What has he done?'

'I do not know love. But warning bells and my senses from miko and demon are going crazy. I can not find his aura, he has masked it. Sess help please.'

'I will not allow any harm to come to you mate. Please try to relax before you send yourself into labor.'

'I can't.'

'I am here with you. You are not that far from me do not worry. The driver would not be so stupid as to try something now, knowing that I await your arrival. He might be planning something for after I am suppose to send you home, but I will not be sending you any where tonight you will stay with me.'

'I'm scared.'

'I know.'

About thirty minutes after coaxing his mate, the limo arrived and he now stood to open the door. The driver got out to open the door and help Kagome out but was stopped short when Sesshomaru glared at him.

"Step aside, we will not be needing your assistance any longer. She will be staying with me tonight."

Sesshomaru watched the limo drivers reaction and found exactly what he wanted to see. The limo driver had a barrier up so Sesshomaru could not read his thoughts but seeing the drivers eyes harden for a second before complying was all he needed to send his beast into overdrive. Protecting his mate suddenly became very important. Never in his right mind did he think that he would have such need to be this possessive of her in this time. It was after all the 'civilized world'.

Sesshomaru helped Kagome out of the limo and she immediately leaped into his arms. Kagome cried and cried into his expensive suit and told him that she was sorry for being such a bitch. He only held her and comforted her. Not once did he berate her.

After Sesshomaru felt Kagome stop crying he looked down at her to see that she had fallen into a light sleep. He picked her up and carried her into the house where he knew he would be bombarded with questions.

"What happened? Where is the bastard? I'll kill um."

"Calm down Inuyasha. I am sure that she is only sleeping."

"Are you fucking blind Miroku? She has been crying and I can smell pure fear and panic radiating off of her!" Sango yelled.

This took every one by surprise. It was very rare that Sango used that kind of language. Let along yell at her mate for 'not seeing the obvious'.

"Sango, Miroku is right. She only appears to be sleeping, and although she reeks with fear, she appears to be unharmed. Father, please set her here on the couch and explain to us what has happened. Does it have any thing to do with what has been said earlier?"

"I will not talk now daughter. Kagome needs rest. If you wish you all may eat without us."

Just then Kagome began to stirr. She became restless and made small moans of fear. "No." she mumbled.

"Shhh. It is okay mate, you are safe. Kagome please calm yourself I promise no harm will come to you as long as you remain in my presence."

Seconds later Kagome's eyes fluttered open. 'Sesshomar. He stayed with me? He protected me?' "SESSOMARU!" she yelled before wrapping her arms around his neck and crying even harder. "Oh I was so scared I did not know what to do. By the time the bells had sounded I was already in the limo. Oh Sesshomaru please do not make me do that again. Please."

"Kagome I will not leave your side. As long as you remain with me no harm shall come to you or our pups. That much I can promise."

"Okay." Kagome said weakly. Then she sniffed. Something familiar in the air. Kagome took that moment to look around.

If Kagome had not been so far along she would have glomped Sango. It was funny because all she did was crawl out of Sesshomaru's protective arms and wobble over to her and hug her.

"Oh my gosh, your, your alive. But how?"

"Remember when you made a wish to have our deepest desires granted?"

"Yeah?"

"Well Inuyasha, if you remember, remained a hayou. He did not become full demon."

"That is right. I remember."

"His deepest desire was for all of us to be with you. So after he made a promise to Sesshomaru that Sesshomaru would live to see you again if he died trying to make it happen, his wish was granted by the jewel. The magic of the wish floated around Inuyasha until the wish sensed his deepest desire. For us to be with you. So here we are. And demon to. Woohoo. Oh and Kirara is alive but she is in America right now. In a human form."

"Wow that is so awsome. Tray cool."

All the girls squealed like teenagers and went on to chattering. All the guys just looked at them wondering what was going on and what caused Kagome to go back to being her old self. Sesshomaru finally snapped out of it and smiled. The panic and fear that he had smelled on his mate had now dissipated. This pleased him to no end. So he clapped his hands and walked off with every one in tow. To the dinning hall.

Yes there was a new arrival of evil. But for tonight no one cared because they were all together again. A family. Laughter and voices were heard throughout the night. Yes a wonderful night. Sesshomaru could not wait for what tomarrow held. He would have to look into the limo driver more.
