Chapter Eleven- Serenity returns, the beginning of the battle
*****
Kagome looked around as she walked, feeling a bit uncomfortable. She glanced around her, making sure they were not being followed and that everyone was there. Her gaze met Inuyasha's for a moment and his golden eyes pierced into her own, sending a shock down her spine. She tore her eyes away, suppressing the hot tears that threatened to surface and fall. She swallowed hard and set her mind on finding where Serenity could be. She felt a pull at her heart and knew that something was not right. But she thought that it had to do with Inuyasha and not with Serenity so she slightly overlooked it. A moment later they emerged from the forest and into the sunlight, the hut not far off. Kirara's ears picked up and twitched. She let out a small meow and took off running in the direction of the hut.
Kagome narrowed her eyes and she could make out two small figures standing in front of the door of the hut. She could make out a huge boomerang on one of the figures back and she froze momentarily. She took in a deep breathe and let it out in a long exhausted sigh before continuing towards the hut, Sasami still clutching her small fingers around Kagomes hand. Kagome gave it a small squeeze and they quickened their pace towards the house.
Kirara came to a stop in front of Sango and Miroku, turning her back on them and all but pointing in the direction of Kagome and the others. Sango took in a sharp quick breath as she saw them. She felt the pull of the Shikon no tama and knew then that Kagome had really returned. A smile crossed her features and she couldn't help herself. She took off running towards them. Sasami, being the first to see her, released Kagomes hand from her own and took off running towards Sango. "Mommy!" She yelled and jumped into Sango's outstretched arms. Sango hugged her small child, moving Sasami's hair from her face and kissing her forehead. Ray came up next to her and Sango nodded giving him a small smile, and handed Sasami to him.
Kagome was the next to arrive there. A look of pure fear and joy in her features. Sango, an equal look, looked her up and down noticing the priestess kimono. Sango bowed to her, a deep bow as a few tears fell down her face. Kagome looked at her as she did this and dropped to her knees in front of the x- demon exterminator. Sango looked up at her old friends face and saw it glistening with tears. Sango draped her arms over Kagomes shoulders and pulled her into a tight hug, Kagome returning the embrace. Kagome was here, she was back and she was with all her friends. She knew soon she would have to explain her sudden disappearance all those years ago. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Narahiko and Serenity moved fast through the lands, making their way to the heart of Inuyasha's forest. Through the thickness of the bushes, past the rushing rivers. Narahiko hadn't realized until now exactly how far away from the forest he had transported them when he came upon her. He had been waiting for the perfect moment to put his revenge in order. At first he had thought of using the kitsune named Shippou to do this, and even considered the young Sasami, but neither of them was strong enough. Then he came upon the scent. The mix of Inuyasha's and Kagomes scent. That's when he decided to use the young Serenity in order to get his revenge. Luckily for him, Serenity was wounded when he found her and easily vulnerable.
He went through the final touches to his plan in his mind as they made their way through the thick bushes leading to the lake that separated Inuyasha's forest from the nearby desert lands. When they wrenched the lake Narahiko stopped. "We will rest here for the night." He ordered and began to unpack. Serenity looked around them and then to Narahiko, then followed suit. They set up a tent for Narahiko to sleep in and cooked some food. It was already well into the night and dawn would be approaching soon. "Keep a look out tonight, I do not want any surprises before tomorrow's confrontation." He ordered. Serenity bowed and jumped into a nearby tree. Narahiko looked up at her for a moment and then entered his tent, blowing out the candle that was the only remaining light besides the moon. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sango lead Kagome towards her home, the remaining path lit by moonlight. Miroku was already inside and the fire was blazing when they entered. Miroku set there, feeding wood to the fire when they entered. Sasami was already cuddled up with Kirara in the corner and Ray was slowly falling asleep near her, though it was apparent he was trying to stay awake. Shippou was sitting next to Miroku and looked at Kagome with a dazed look as though he still thought her a dream. Sango and Kagome set on the other side of the fire, Inuyasha entering the hut behind them and taking a seat not far away from them. Kagome looked at him for a brief moment before lowering her gaze to the fire.
Miroku glanced at Sango, not asking the actual question but Sango knew what it was. She looked at Shippou, who was staring at Kagome. Then to Inuyasha who was looking out the window, the Tetsusaiga wrapped in his arms. She sighed. It seemed she was going to be the one to have to ask. "Um.Kagome?" She said looking to the shaky figure next to her. Kagome, not trusting her voice, Kagome nodded her head to show she was listening. "Kagome." Sango hesitated as she saw that Kagome was slightly trembling. She took in a breath and turned to her. "Kagome, why have you returned now of all times? Why did you.." Kagome cut her off before she could finish the last question. Kagome knew what it was and didn't want to answer that yet. "I have returned here to find someone." She stated simply, glancing at Miroku who already knew who. Then to Inuyasha to see if he had any idea. She smiled inwardly when she saw the confused/ surprise look on his features.
"who?" Shippou voice popped up, his gaze fixed unwaveringly on Kagome. Kagome saw a bit of happiness and resentment in them and felt pain in her heart but shook her head and answered his question. Her voice was so small and quiet that they could barley hear her, but her words were clear and they knew that she was not lying. "My daughter." Miroku, who already knew, looked immediately at the others. Shippou gaze a small noise that sounded much like a gasp of surprise. Sango's eyes widened and Kagome was sure that she had stopped breathing for a moment in shock. Kagome looked at Inuyasha, his eyes widen for a moment, then back to normal as he looked away from her. Kagomes heart ached. His eyes held anger and hurt.
Sango was the first to speak after this. "Kagome.." She started then stopped, looking a moment at Inuyasha who's gaze was fixed out the window. "I do not know who your daughter is, but I, we shall help you find her." Kagome gave a small smile to her friend that quickly turned into a yawn. Sango moved from the fire and grabbed a blanket, giving it to her. "We will search at dawns first light, but it is late and we need our rest." Her and Miroku gave Kagome a hug and headed to their room at the back of the hut, taking Sasami and Ray to their room as they went. Shippou followed them, heading for Rays room which they shared when he was there.
Kagome looked at Inuyasha for a moment, her eyes softening. She couldn't take this tension between them but knew there was nothing she could do right now. It was best that he thought of her like he did at this moment, she tried to convince herself of that thought as she made her pallet at the back of the main room. Inuyasha didn't look at her, his gaze was still fixed out the window. Thoughts running through his head. He was sure he had heard right and the pain he felt was deep. It wasn't until he heard Kagomes breathing change that he looked at her. The pale moonlight shinned on her sleeping face as she shivered a bit from the cold night. Inuyasha removed the top of his kimono and placed it over her, tucking it around her tightly. She made a small noise as he did this and he looked at her face. He set down next to her, his face inches away from hers. He gave her lips a soft kiss that he wasn't even sure she felt. He then set back against the wall and closed his eyes, falling into a ruff sleep. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sesshoumaru pulled the sleeping Rin closer to him, her head laying on the fluff that she used as a pillow. Her slender body half laying in his lap as she slept. Sesshoumaru's eyes went over her sleeping face as the moonlight hit it. For a human Rin was beautiful, Sesshoumaru thought to himself. A small smile met his lips at the thought that he was more like his father then he hoped to be. How he had allowed himself to become taken, all those years ago, by a small human girl who showed him some kindness when he was injured. Then to revive her after she had been eaten by wolfs, with the Tenseiga, that he still kept by his side. Now she was his companion, and always would be for the remainder of her life.
He placed a hand protectively over Rins small body, her chest rising and falling as she breathed. Sesshoumaru himself had no need to sleep, though it seemed Jaken did. The small pathetic lizard youkai was sleeping far away from them, though Sesshoumaru could still hear the little runt as he slept. How annoying, Sesshoumaru bitterly thought to himself. Jaken was a good follower and always did what Sesshoumaru said. But he also questioned him and complained about Rin. If it had not been for the years before Rin that Jaken served him, Sesshoumaru would have rid himself of that pest long ago. But he made a good protector for Rin when Sesshoumaru had to go away for days at a time. I shall keep him around for a while, he still has some use left in him.
Rin moved in her sleep, clutching Sesshoumaru's hand in hers and snuggling closer to him. Sesshoumaru looked down at her angelic face as she slept. "Sesshoumaru- sama" Rin muttered in her sleep and buried her head into the fluff. Sesshoumaru tightened his grip on her and looked up at the sky. The power that he sensed worried him, and not many powers did this. He shifted slightly, Rin turning over and tightening her grip on him. Slowly, the thought of finding out tomorrow what was behind that power, faded from Sesshoumaru's mind and he slowly fell into an uneasy sleep. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The light shinned through the small window the hut, going over Kagomes face as she began to stir. Her eyes slowly fluttered open and she blinked a few times, everything coming into focus. She rose to a sitting position in the pallet she made the night before, Inuyasha's kimono falling off her. She glanced down at it and blinked again. She ran her hand over the fire-cat kimono and felt the fabric of it. Thought of the many times it had saved her entered her mind and she picked it up, bringing it to her nose she took in Inuyasha's scent off of it. Memories flooded her once more and she shook her head. She dropped the kimono as she felt something on her shoulder. Slowly she turned her head to see Inuyasha there, still asleep and his head now resting on Kagomes shoulder.
Kagomes gaze went over his face. How much like a peaceful sleeping baby he looked when he slept. His face had haunted her dreams sense she left his time. How she longed and feared to touch him. Always in her dreams it ended with Inuyasha disappearing and Kagome waking up screaming and crying for him to wait. Then it came back to her that she was the one that left him and told herself that she couldn't return. Kagome lifted her hand and moved stray strains of silver hair from his face. She let it linger there for a moment, her gaze looking over his face. Then his eyes slowly opened and met her gaze. He grabbed her hand and lifted his head from her shoulder. The air grew heavy around them as Inuyasha inched his face closer to hers. "Mommy!" A voice rang out breaking the moment. Kagome looked away from him, pulling her hand back. Inuyasha could hear Sango's footsteps going to Sasami's room. He silently cursed and rose to his feet. Kagome grabbed his kimono and handed it to him, not meeting his gaze.
Sango came into the room a moment later as Inuyasha was putting on his kimono and grabbing the Tetsusaiga, placing it on his belt. Sango lifted a brow as she looked at them, the half asleep Sasami in her arms, clutching her clothing and slowly falling back to sleep. Sango sighed and shook her head and went back into the other room. Sasami had fallen back to sleep and Sango laid her back in her bed and returned to the room. "Let me wake Miroku, Shippou and Kirara and we will leave to search for your daughter." Sango said disappearing into the other room once more. Miroku emerged a moment later with a yawn and scratching his head. " 'Morning." He said as he yawned looking around at them. Inuyasha was sitting by the door and Kagome was rolling up her pallet.
Shippou, Kirara and Sango came from the other room next. Sango gave Miroku a kiss on the cheek and he grabbed her ass as she walked by, causing her to give him a slap, not a hard one but one that said it was not the time for this. Kagome giggled a bit and Inuyasha rolled his eyes. Sango grabbed her boomerang and headed for the door. "Ray is going to watch Sasami while we look." She said before stepping out, everyone following her. Kirara transformed and Shippou, Miroku and Sango jumped onto her back. Hesitantly Kagome climbed onto Inuyasha's back as he crouched down so she could get on. This gave her a weird feeling. She had done this plenty of times before, but it was so long ago and now things had changed. Inuyasha took off with speed, Kirara right beside him. Inuyasha picked up an odd scent and started running towards it, ending up in the heart of Inuyasha's forest. He stopped, Kagome clutching onto his neck as he stopped as not to fall. He grabbed her to steady her.
"Get down." He whispered to her as he looked around, sniffing the air. Kagome gave him a weird look but obeyed. Sango and the others came to a stop next to him and looked at him curiously. "Inuyasha what are you doing?" Miroku asked. Kirara hissed and brought their attention back from Inuyasha and to their surroundings. Kagome stood behind Inuyasha, stringing an arrow into her bow, just in case she would need it. Out of no where a shadow shot forward, hitting Inuyasha and jumping away. Inuyasha flew to the ground but quickly rebounded, landing on his feet. A growl escaped his throat and he looked around, searching for the one that hit him. A laugh rang out from all around them and the shadow darted again, heading straight for Kagome. Inuyasha quickly got in front of her and hit the shadow before it could hit Kagome. The shadow fell to the ground, its hood falling from its head. Slowly it stood up and they saw long black hair. Kagome took in a sharp breath as she saw the black hair and dog ears. The shadow turned to them and revealed its face in the light. "Serenity." She whispered in shock but Inuyasha didn't hear her. The laughter rang out again as in the tree above stood a figure, wrapped in a white baboon pelt but glowing red evil eyes staring at them. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
