Chapter Ten-Sesshoumaru appears

Serenity drank the liquid while she pinched her nose from the smell. She didn't think she would be able to drink it if she had to smell it too. She drank half of it and almost gagged. "You have to drink it all." She heard Narahiko said. With a muffled disagreement Serenity downed the rest. She put the bowl with a disgusted look on her face. "Eww..." She said and wiped her mouth. Narahiko passed her another bowl. "Don't tell me i have to drink more of this shit." She grumbled. Narahiko laughed. "Its just water....you don't have to drink anymore....right now." Serenity downed the water quickly trying to get the nasty taste from her mouth. "What was in that thing?" She asked. Narahiko looked down at the things he used and quickly moved them out of Serenity's view. "Some medicine and plants that would help you." He said. Serenity gave a yawn and laid back against the wall.
Narahiko looked at her in surprise. 'It should have taken affect by now.' He watched her closely, wondering when his potion was going to take affect on her. After a short time he saw no change. He cursed. ' Damn that Urusei . Why do i trust her potions?!' Just then Serenity popped up. Narahiko looked at her in surprise. "Serenity what is the matter?" He asked, hoping that he would hear the answer he wanted to. Serenity placed a hand on her stomach. "I do..dont know. I just feel..." She stopped and grabbed her head. Narahiko tried to hide his glee and rushed over to her. "Serenity what is it?" He asked masking the hope in his voice. Serenity just screamed and clutched her head tighter, falling to the ground. A moment later she stopped moving. Narahiko smiles a smile darker the darkness. His eyes holding pure evil. "She was stronger then I thought...damn her priestess half." Narahiko said as he bent down and checked to see if her pulse was still strong. It was. Narahiko sighed some, a sigh of relief. "Well lets see if it worked." Narahiko placed one finger on her forehead and muttered something. Serenity's eyes popped open, but where blank.
"Get up." Narahiko demanded. Serenity rose to her feet and stood before him like a statue. "Listen carefully to me Serenity. I am your master. I am your only friend and family. You are not loved by anyone else but me and you love no one else but me. You will follow everything I say and ask no questions. Do you understand?" Serenity shook her head. "Yes Master Narahiko." Serenity said and her voice was not like hers. It had no happiness or sorrow. It was just like her eyes. Narahiko smiles a wicked smile and placed a finger on her forehead again. This seemed to snap her out of it. She blinked.once the twice. Then she looked around and saw Narahiko and bowed. "Master Narahiko." She said. Narahiko smiled and gave a sadistic laugh. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Not far from the forest of Inuyasha, walking quietly through the field of flowers with a small annoying lizard youkai running behind him screaming for him to wait. The Inu youkai stopped and stared out, placing an arm on his empty kimono sleeve. "Jaken." He spoke quietly. The lizard youkai came to a stop behind him. "Yes M'lord?" He said his voice quivering some. "Go and get Rin. We are to leave at once." He said his voice as cold as ice with no emotion in it. Jaken grumbled but ran away to get her. They had found her about 12 years ago. Jaken had never understood why Lord Sesshoumaru had wanted to keep her around. Jaken always thought she was annoying and loud. Never shutting up and not minding him, only Lord Sesshoumaru.
Jaken walked down the hill, only to trip over a rock and go tumbling down it. He hit his head and lifted up to see Rin standing there, holding flowers in one hand and a hand over her mouth as she laughed a bit. She had really grown up. She was no longer the little girl that Sesshoumaru had saved. She was now tall, came up to Sesshoumaru's neck. She had long black hair that she kept tied back loosely, with some strains falling into her face. She wore a soft blue kimono with a grey obi. "Jaken..why are you falling down the hill? Where is Sesshoumaru-sama?" Jaken still looked at her in disgust even after all these years traveling with her. "I was sent by Lord Sesshoumaru to get you, we are to leave at once." Hearing these words Rin ran right by Jaken and up the hill. She saw the long silver haird Inu youkai and smiled. " Lord Sesshoumaru- sama you have returned." She said, looking up at him with a wide smile.
Sesshoumaru looked down at her, first with a blank face that turned into a smile. Jaken came up behind Rin and saw Sesshoumaru's smile. He felt jealous. He scuffled his feet and muttered something. "What was that Jaken?" Sesshoumaru said looking pass Rin at him. Jaken looked up alarmed. "N-nothing M'lord!" Sesshoumaru stared at him for a moment then turned away, facing in the direction of the forest of Inuyasha. "We shall be leaving soon." Sesshoumaru said, not seeing the puzzlement on both Jaken and Rins face. "Lord Sesshoumaru-sama, where are we going?" Rin asked. Jaken hated that. Rin always asked the questions that he was scared to ask, and always got a reply. "We are going to go to the forest of Inuyasha." He replied, Jaken looking at him shocked. "But M'Lord. Is that not where your lowly half brother Inuyasha lives?" Sesshoumaru nodded a yes. "Then why is it that we are going there?" Jaken asked without thinking that he would get a nasty reply. "Jaken I do not need to tell you everything." Sesshoumaru said. Rin smiled at Jaken amusingly.
Rin decided to ask sense she always got an answer from him. "Lord Sesshoumaru- sama, is there a particular reason we will be traveling to where your half brother Inuyasha lives?" Sesshoumaru turned back to her, looking down at her. "Yes there is, and do not worry about it Rin, I shall tell you in time." He said as he started to walk off to the two-headed flying dragon horse. Rin walked next to him as she always did, Jaken close behind, still grumbling. ~~~~~~~~~~~~

Shippou, in his young kitsune form, buried his head into Kagome kimono. "Oh Shippou I've missed you." Kagome said as she picked him up and set him down. He immediately transformed back into himself. Kagome looked him up and down shocked somewhat at how much he had grown. He was now almost as tall as Inuyasha. He had long hair pulled into a pony tail like Kougas. He wore clothes that were similar to Kougas wolf clans. "Wow Shippou, you've grown." Kagome said as she raised to her feet. She couldn't believe that she now had to look up to Shippou. "Kagome is so glad that you have come back!" Shippou exclaimed though Kagome could sense some fury in his voice, but choose to overlook it. She hadn't expected them to not be mad at her. She left without a word or explanation and sealed up the well to where they couldn't get to her time. In fact she had expected them to be furious with her when they saw her. Though that was proven wrong when she saw Miroku.
Kagome looked pass Shippou to Kirara. "Kirara!" She exclaimed as the neko youkai transformed into her kitten form and ran to the priestess. She jumped into Kagomes arms and Kagome held her, giving her a tight hug. Kirara licked her cheek and jumped down. It was then that Kagome saw the other two. Her first thought was Miroku and Sango but they were younger, a lot younger. Her eyes narrowed in confusion. Shippou smiled and walked over to them. "Kagome I would like you to meet Ray and Sasami." He said. Ray looked at her in shock. "Shippou, did you say Kagome?" Ray and Sasami had been told, as most kids these days, about the priestess Kagome who was the reincarnation of the Priestess Kikyou and. Midoriko. How she came with the Shikon no Tama inside her and then shattered it into shards. And of her journey to reclaim and purify the shards with the help of her friends. Ray had always thought it just a bed time story told to get the kids to behave.
Shippou shook his head and motioned for Kagome to come here. She walked with a smile, fully aware of Inuyasha's eyes on her. Immediately as she approached, Ray set Sasami down and they both bowed to her. Kagome smiled and bowed back, leaving them in a state of confusion. "A-are you really the priestess Kagome?" Sasami asked. She shook her head yes. "I dont believe it." Ray said suddenly with a small smirk on his face. Kagome looked at him confused. "The priestess Kagome is a myth as is the Shikon no Tama. Its told to get little kids to behave." Kagome couldn't help but laugh at this as did Shippou. Kagome glanced at Inuyasha, who still stared at her his eyes unwavering. She pulled from around her neck, shinning with purity, the Shikon no Tama. "What's that?" Ray asked as she pulled it off her neck. "This.. Is the Shikon no Tama, the jewel of four souls." She handed it to Ray, who looked at her uncertainly. "You can hold it." She assured him and he took it from her hand, holding it in front of him as though it might explode at any moment.
Kagome laughed at this. "This is really the sacred jewel?" Ray asked. Kagome nodded and looked at Sasami who was cowering behind Rays leg. Ray handed her back the jewel after a short time and she put it back on her neck. "You look just like Sango." Kagome said for she had already guessed that they were Sango and Miroku children. Sasami smiled but did not move. She looked at Ray. "And you look just like Miroku, right down the hair and robes." Kagome smiled and turned around, facing Inuyasha who eyes penetrated her. The wind blew her hair to one side and her kimono around her. She lowered her gaze as Sasami grabbed her hand. She began to pull her in the direction of the path. Kagome remembered when Serenity was this age and how sweet she was. She forced back a tear and gave Sasami a smile. She glanced once more at Inuyasha before she was pulled off.
Shippou looked at Inuyasha with sympathetic eyes. He couldn't imagine the pain that Inuyasha was going through. Inuyasha started to walk off after them, his mind racing. Kagome had returned after so long. But his mind settle on the hurtful words she spoke. "Would you like me to tell you it was because I didn't love you?" It pained him to hear those words come from her. Was she lying all those years ago when she told him she loved him and gave herself to him, body and soul, only to leave the next day without a word and not return for 13 years. Dissipate everything that had happened. The pain that he felt and the rage. The sorrow and the loneliness that had settled within him these years. Dissipate all that he still loved her with everything he had. Silently he walked behind them as they headed to the hut. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Narahiko gave Serenity a hooded cloak to put on. She placed it on and covered her head. "Where are we going Mater Narahiko?" Narahiko placed his own cloak on. "You will know in time." He said simply. Serenity bowed and apologized and Narahiko gave her a smile. He stepped out of the cave into the rising light of the morning. "This will be the day." He said. 'Finally I get my revenge. And what a better way to get it then to use the one they love and cant hurt.' Before stepping out Narahiko turned to Serenity who kept her gaze to the ground. He wanted to make sure that everything was going to go smoothly that he had Serenity as his and she would not betray him. He pulled her hood off and looked at her face. She was somewhat pretty with her dark hair and twitching dog ears. Looking at the ground with her golden colored eyes.
He lifted her head up, letting his hand cup her face. He pulled her hair back and leaned in, giving her a kiss. "What we do today is for both of us. You will not go against me will you? You trust me?" A little dazed by the kiss from him, who she considered to be her master she nodded her head. Narahiko gave an evil smile and pulled her hood back up. Wiped the potion from his lips he pulled his own up. He eyes glinted underneath it and he started to walk Serenity following behind him. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rin climbed onto the dragon horse first, Sesshoumaru next sitting behind her. Jaken awkwardly climbed behind his Lord, careful not to touch him. Sesshoumaru wrapped an arm around Rin stomach to hold her on so she would not fall. He had done this sense she was a young girl. He grabbed the reins with the other hand and pulled at it, signaling it was time for them to go. The dragon horse jumped into the air and Rin held on to Sesshoumaru in fear. He smiled. She had been riding this dragon horse sense she was little and it still scared her no matter how many times she had been up in the air. The smile quickly faded from his face and his grip tighten on Rin, he sniffed the air. "Lord Sesshoumaru-sama what is it." Rin asked as she moved to look at him. He didn't answer her. Rin was not use to this he usually always gave her an answer. She thought it must have been something very important for him not so say and so she decided to keep quiet.
' What is this scent?' Sesshoumaru wondered. He was sure he had sensed a great power coming from Inuyasha's forest earlier and then picked up the scent of the human girl that Inuyasha loved. He thought it was her, even though he had not smelled her scent in a long time and he wasn't sure that her priestess power was that great. But then he smelled another scent, very close to the first. This worried him. The power that he felt now was stronger then the other and he was curious to who it belonged to. So he was heading to Inuyasha's forest in order to find out. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
