MoonLightning hope you all enjoy the new chapter
Chapter 10
Sesshomaru continued his search for the insolent girl-child. After days of searching he
finally picked up her scent which led him to the spot she had been shot at by Kikyo. The
trail was at least a day or two old. He was getting closer. He followed the scent to the
cave where his nose was assaulted by the smell of her blood. There was even a hint of
salt!?! She had been crying?
He also picked up two other scents with hers. He had noticed it before and now that he
thought about it this must be the third family she spoke so fondly of. Her scent was strong
in the cave. He smirked she must have stayed here a coupld of nights. Probably due to
that wound she had gotten.
She couldn't be far off then. He walked out the cave and picked up her scent following it
quickly. It was very fresh. He was closing in on her.
He stopped behind a bunch of trees when he heard a young voice yell. "Kagome watch
out."
Kagome? That's not possible was it? The girl they knew of as Jade was really Kagome? It
must be. Everything fit together. Wasn't that what he had been thinking from the start
anyways?
"Yuri get on Bolt and leave. He's to strong for you." he heard the miko Jade. No.
Kagome yell.
"No mommy." the child said her statement echoed by a loud catlike growl. He moved
closer so he could watch.
"Jeez you two are as stubborn as my old companions." she said laughing to two youkai
fighting next to her a kitsune and cat.
The demon they were fighting, a large centipede, lunged at her knocking her to the
ground. He shook his head at the stupidity of the demon. It was stupid to think she
couldn't kill it even pinned to the ground as she was now.
Kagome lifted her hand using her miko energy in it she brushed it against the demon's
head. It screamed in pain as her purifying power touched him turning him to dust.
The small kitsune rushed to help her up right away. She smiled down at the child. She
gasped suddenly falling to her knees. Her hand went to her stomach then came out. She
looked at it in fascination. Sesshomaru too looked at her fingers wondering what was
holding her eyes when he saw blood drip off of her fingers. That demon hadn't injured
her had it?
"Guess I opened my wound from a couple days ago." she said calmly. 'Guess not' he
thought to himself.
The kitsune however was not calm. She was going through a bag evidently looking for
bandages finding none she turned back to the miko about to speak, her eyes opened wide.
"What is it Yuri?" Kagome asked seeing her expression.
"Y-your shoulder wound mommy. It's open too."
"So it is." she said turning to inspect her shoulder frowning slightly. "I guess wrestling
with a demon doesn't help."
She tried to stand up again but fell once more hissing in pain.
Sesshomaru decided to come out about then. Yuri saw him first. She gasped in fright the
cat beside her growling threatening. "Inuyasha." she said terrified seeing his hair color.
Hearing this Kagome formed a bow quickly out of her energy not looking up once. "Go
away Inuyasha. If you hurt my child or Bolt I will castrate you."(sorry Inyu fans but I just
had to say that I'm kinda evil that way-SK) she said angerly looking up through her bangs
that had fallen in her face. Sudden recoginition broke through her face. "Oh crap." she
said quietly to herself. "Kids get yourself behind me now." they hurried to do as she told
them. This wasn't Inuyasha but whoever it was seemed to worry her almost as much.
"Sesshomaru what do you want?" she asked angerly
"I came for you."
She shivered slightly. "I'm not in your territory anymore." she said daring him to tell her
she was wrong with her eyes though her voice was calm.
"No you're not but I can still take you back."
"No" she said eyes blazing.
"No what Jade? Or should I ask Kagome?"
She mouthed an oh crap. "No I will not go with you and I am Jade not Kagome."she
looked up at him defiantly.
"No matter what you say or how you act you're badly injured. Do you think you could
resist?"
"Hell, probably. I seem to have a stroke of luck so far." she said with a laugh that held no
humor.
"Kagome, Rin wants you back." he said appealing to her weakness and she knew it. (Ok
forgive me you guys Sesshomaru is really ooc. I know that but it's my bad remember so
don't bother MoonLightning about it.-SK)
"Don't you dare drag her into this." she said her voice filled with anger. "I will not come
with you."
"Yes you will." he replied calmly. "Even if I have to kidnap you."
She hmphed looking at him daggers in her eyes. "Like you did the first time?" she said
bitterly. "I think not."
"Why not?" he asked coolly calmly.
"I'm free and with my family you bastard. Leave me be. I didn't ask you to save me the
last time. So leave me alone."
"I think not." he said repeating her words from earlier.
"Why not?" she asked mimicing his emotionless voice.
"Because you really don't have a choice in the matter." he used his demon speed
appearing behind her catching her off guard. He pinched the pressure point on the neck
knocking her out. Picking her up in his arms he began to walk off.
"Come you two." he spoke to the two small and frightened youkai. They hesitently
followed him back to his home. Bolt in her huge form to carry the small kitsune on her
back.
After one day of traveling they came into view of the walls of his home. A small blur
came running through the gates and attached itself to Sesshomaru's leg. Yuri looked at it
to find it was a human girl and she was smiling up at the demon lord.
"Rin was very worried about Sesshomaru-sama and Jade." she said looking up at him
adoringly.
He dropped a hand by the young girls head and ruffled her hair. She then noticed Yuri
and Bolt. Her smile if possible gew wider. "I'm rin. You must be Jade's third family she
told Rin about."
Yuri looked at her as if she were some kind of alien then snapped out of her stupor.
"Hello Rin-chan. I am Yuri and this is Bolt." she said motioning to the large cat by her
side who then transformed to her smaller state looking much more cute and not so fierce.
Yuri looked at her a minute more when something hit her. "You're the Rin my mommy
told me about. She told me a lot about you. Kagome always had good things to say about
you."
"Kagome? No that is Jade-san. She told Rin so." the girl said tears threatening to come
pouring out.
Yuri looked at her curiously then realization hit her. She usually called her mommy
because she didn't feel right calling her another name, Jade, because it wasn't her real
name. She looked desperately to the human child.
Sesshomaru decided to interject then. "Rin we will talk about this later right now she
needs rest."
The small girl looked to the young woman in his arms and nodded. He walked past her
down the corridors to the room she stayed in last time Rin catching up to him right away.
Leaving Yuri and Bolt behind still not sure of this man who had a resemblence to
Inuyasha not sure of his intentions to their mother and friend.
She woke up in a soft bed feeling like she'd gotten run over by a semi or something of
the sort. She moaned a bit and cracked her eyes open a slit to find herself in a dark room
with two small figures at the end of the bed. As her eyes adjusted to the darkness, on
closer inspection she was able to make out the forms of Yuri and Bolt.
Careful so as not to wake them up she pulled her legs out from underneath the covers and
swung them to the side. Holding on to the bed for support she pulled herself into a
standing position. Her legs felt shaky beneath her but her eyes glittered with
determination.
She let go of the bed and took a step forward only to fall to the ground in a heap. She got
to her knees, pulled herself up again, took another step and once again fell to the ground.
She was getting to her knees again when she heard his voice. "Quite the determined one
aren't we?" he asked quietly by the doorway. She'd been so determined she didn't sense
him come in let alone see the door open. She lifted her stormy grey eyes to him, they
flashed with anger.
"What is it you want Fluffy?" she bit out angerly. "Don't you see I want to be left alone?
I left the life of Kagome behind me two years ago. You are her past not Jade's present.
She left everything behind for their protection and safety." her eyes glittered with unshed
tears.
"Whatever did happen to her?" he asked in his stoic voice emotionless mask still in
place. "You can't be her. She was stubborn and naive."
Her eyes now glittered dangerously. "You're right I'm not her. The only thing I know we
have in common is stubborness. I think she died the same day as Naraku. He'd love that.
The one who killed him dying with him so they could fight in a place outside of time and
changes." she shook her head a bit her bangs falling across her face hiding her. "No I'm
not her. She died." she stood up taking a few steps toward him. "If you don't let me out
you can join her."
He looked at her to see if she was kidding but no she wasn't. She had an energy bow in
her hands the arrow pointing right at him. He shrugged it off and spoke again in that
annoying way only he can seem to do detached without any emotions even in the worst
crisis. "How is it she died?"
This seemed to give her pause. "She left her friends, couldn't return to her family or her
life. She died then and Jade was born." a small whimper came from the bed. Her face
softened as did her eyes. She was who she once was. Higurashi Kagome.
She turned from him and went to the sleeping Yuri. The small kitsune thrashing and
whimpering in her sleep now began to talk. "Inuyasha...bastard....get away from my
mommy.....foxfire.....get off of her...stop crying please?...no no no.." Kagome's face was
full of worry. She picked her up hugging Yuri to her, stroking her tail whispering
comforting words. The kitsune woke up and began to cry hugging on to Kagome.
"Mommy it was Inuyasha and he tried.... oh mommy." she said sobbing.
The older girls face now was frightened. "Hush dear. It's in the past. We're still together.
You, me and Bolt. Always together." she rocked her and soon she fell asleep again.
Kagome placed her on the bed kissing her brow.
"So he has managed to catch up with you a couple times huh?" a voice behind her said,
causing her to jump.
'I thought he left already. Jesus' she thought "What's it to you?" she asked turning to
face him again.
"Be careful how you address me wench." he growled at her.
She smirked at him. "I know what you're thinking. If he had caught up with me I'd be
dead, but that's not what he wants. He won't kill me until he's done with me as he
wants."
"What's it he want's then?"
"Me. My body. What else? But he can keep trying if he wants. It's not that easy to catch
me and in your case as you keep doing so it's because I'm not in the best of conditions
when you show up to kick your ass." she said looking into his eyes. She looked away
muttering more to herself then him speaking quietly. "And besides I'm a virgin. No way
I'm losing it to him."
He looked at her carefully. She was beautiful for a human that was for sure. She was
small and frail like a porcelain doll but she wasn't even close to being breakable. She
was strong and had lived through a lot so far. How much more could she survive though?
One could only handle so much before they broke down.
Why did he care though? Was he worried about her? That couldn't be. Not possible.
'Oh but it is' an annoying voice in his head said. 'Look at her you just admitted she was
beautiful. You want to see her smile and help her be rid of her pain. Don't you?' it asked
slyly. (Ok is that even a word oh well it is for now-SK)
He tried to think of something he could say in return but couldn't come up with a thing. It
had spoken the truth.
She spoke breaking him out of his thoughts. "I will be leaving once my companions are
awake. I thank you for your hospitality but I have a duty to stick to." she said calmly no
expression on her face. His eyes flashed angerly looking at her. Noticing this she spoke
again with a touch of coldness in her voice. "I didn't ask to come here. I don't want to be
here. If you don't let me go I'll have to escape again."
"What will you do about Rin?" he asked looking at her
"She'll understand she's a smart girl. If not now she will someday."
"How do you plan on leaving?"
"I'll escape don't you worry."
"Good luck to you then." he said in a calm tone walking out the door hearing her
muttering about arrogant dogs, how rude it was to kidnap people against their will and
that damn nickname she gave him Fluffy.
She watched him leave glaring at him the whole time. Oh she would show him she
thought smirking. He didn't think she would be able to escape again but that was where
he was wrong. She already knew where all her obstacles where at and would be able to
escape easily.
Still smirking she picked up her still sleeping companions and walked out the door
disabling any and all obstacles that stood in her way until the coast was clear and she
disappeared again through the forest not looking back.
The next morning a certain demons angry yell could be heard finding the guest room
emptied.
Far off in the hills riding on her fire cat Kagome shuddered hearing an angry yell echo
around her ears. She knew who it came from and didn't like it one bit. She wasn't far
away enough and would be found really fast.
Wow I hope I did alright this is my first fanfiction story and since I'm doing it for
MoonLightning I can't really think of it as mine even though she told me too. Hope you
all enjoyed and remember all mistakes are mine please R&R. Oh yea I know the

really bugs you tell me and i'll try to fix it but it fits for the story oh well
Thanx much Smiling Kitsune
