Chapter 8
Sesshomaru was mad. That slip of a girl had ended up giving him the slip. After his talk
with Kouga he found Rin in the kitchen eating a snack and talking happily with a servant
but no miko in sight.
"Rin" he spoke cutting in her conversation.
She turned to him a wide smile on her face. "Hello Sesshomaru-sama."
"Where is the miko Jade?" he asked coolly.
The girl frowned in concentration. "Oh yes she said she wanted to stay outside in the rain
a bit longer."
Hearing this he ran outside into the pouring rain to the gardens to find all his men, that
were supposed to be watch the girl-child, asleep on the ground with no miko in sight.
She had left. She must have known his senses would be dulled in the rain and tracking
made difficult in the rain because the rain washes away scents.
He growled loudly in the back of his throat. He would find her and drag her back. No one
escaped from the lord of the western lands. (A/N I know that's kinda ooc but it's working
into my story.)
A smirk on his face he began to go in the direction she would have gone. In the area he
had found her in the first place. He would find her again.
***in the cave with Kagome, Yuri and Bolt***(she'll be called Kagome because Yuri
and Bolt know that's her real name ok now on with the story again?)
Kagome woke to the smell of cooking meat and stretching she opened her eyes to find
Yuri cooking the meat of a cleaned up rabbit.
"Did you catch that Bolt?" she asked the cat.
"Yes she did momma and look I can even skin the rabbit properly now."
"What a wonderful job you did Yuri." she said smiling. Bolt meowed nudging her. "You
too Bold." she added petting the cat.
"Are you two ready to travel again. I have to stop at the village I was at and speak with
them but we must check on Shippo again."
"When do we leave mommy?" Yuri asked excitedly.
"How about after breakfeast?"
"Yay" and the small girl went back to finish cooking the meat and the miko chuckled as
she began to strap daggers to her arms, legs and around her waist. She then packed a
small bag with a canteen of water and dried fruits and meat and a small blanket.
Yuri finished cooking and served the meat to everyone. Once they were ready to leave
Kagome said a quick spell to be rid of the fire. Placing the kitsune and lightning cat on
her shoulders she took off at a dead run her speed could easily outrun weaker demons
and might have matched the demon lord of the west himself.
They came to the outskirts of the village very soon and Kagome slowed to a walk. She set
the young demons by her side holding the hand of the kitsune as they walked closer to
spot a small form on the ground. Kagome slowly moved forward to see that it was Yoko
and she was crying. She held some flowers in her hand and spoke quietly. "Oh Jade.
You're gone. I wish I could have been stronger so that I could have stayed by your side
and fight with you."
Kagome/Jade came into view of the girl and when the small girl heard a twig snap she
looked up to see her. "Oh Jade I thought you died." the young girl cried as she ran into
the miko's arms.
"Oh Yoko. I'm so sorry Yoko." she rocked the crying child in her arms until she fell
asleep there.
Picking her up she started toward the gate with the kitsune and cat by her side. The
guards on duty opened the gates immediately at the sight of their beloved miko, happy to
see she was alive.
She returned the small sleeping child to her mother who cried in relief on seeing both of
them thanking the miko who only smiled at her.
She then went to the elders of the village to consult with them for a bit. After two hours
she was ready to leave, with a last bow of thanks to the villagers she walked out of the
gates only looking ahead to Inuyasha's forest.
***3 days later***
Kagome ended up running or riding for three days straight once they left the village. Two
days on reaching the forest and one day through it to get to Kaede's village.
Once she made it there she quickly ran to Sango and Miroku's cabin where they now
lived with a baby girl and a still young Shippo.
Kagome watched her sone play and help the others with tenderness in her eyes and a
small smile on her face. He was growing up fine without her.
She moved a little and accidently stepped on a twig making a loud noise. Shippo
immediately used his nose to pick up the culprit picking up the famliliar scent of jasmine
and rain. "M-m-mother" he spoke out loud.
Kagome froze. He couldn't find her, not now he was still in danger. But he had called her
mother. Could she really leave him. Yes. she answered her own thought. She quickly hid
her presence.
Shippo no longer able to sense her fell to the ground crying. "Kagome how could that
baka hurt you like that. You never asked for anything. You would have given your love
willing to him, but he had to try and do that to you. Mother."he let out an anguished howl
of pain and saddness.
Her decision wavered as she watched the scene before her. Sango came running out the
door of the cabin with a wild look on her face and Kirara at her side. Seeing Shippo on
the ground crying she bent down to pick him up cuddling him to her.
I should be the one doing that she thought saddly to herself. "Shhh Shippo what is
wrong?" Sango asked in a motherly tone.
"Kagome was here." he said resuming his crying.
"Kagome left and made it home safetly." she said calmly to him though you could see her
eyes glaze over in tears as they spoke of her best friend who'd been like a sister to her.
"You don't get it. She was really here. I sensed her Sango. She was watching me." he
said desperately still crying.
Sango hugged him to her and shhed him rocking him to sleep she took him into the house
to be put into a bed. Kagome looked numbly where this had taken place. Had she been
the cause of that? she questioned herself. She turned and began to walk back to the forest.
Yuri and Bolt on either side of her watching her in worry.
They walked in silence to the cave they usually stayed at when coming to check on
Kagome's friends.
Setting up their beds and building a fire they fell into an uncomfortable silence broken by
a hesitant Yuri. "Kagome you know it's not your fault right? You're only doing it for his
safety."
She only looked blankly at the fire.
The kitsune began to get scared and worried. Now what am I supposed to do? she thought
to herself looking in worry at Kagome.
"Kagome please talk. Please Kagome. We don't want to lose you Kagome. We love you
Kagome." these words seemed to reach her because her eyes filled up and she began to
cry, sobs racking at her body she clutched her knees to herself and cried. Yuri hugged her
and Bolt rubbed against her. Soon her sobs quieted and she fell asleep.
Yuri placed a blanket on her and wiped her tears off of her face and cuddling against her
she too fell asleep.
Bolt transformed and took watch over her saddened mistress and worried friend into the
early morning.
