Hello, everyone. Lily here. But I'm sure you've started to figure that out by now, huh?
*Mirai shakes his head sadly* Why are all you onna so strange?
*Glaring at her mate* Don't know. Why do all you Saiyans insist on being beaten to a bloody pulp by said onnas?
*Mirai sweatdrops*
*Smirking to herself* Good. Now, on to the disclaimer part. As always the ONLY things I own are my mate, my Mystic clone, my Neil clone, my Gambit clone, my Kou clone, and my new pet, my Demi-Demon Doggie clone, or my Inuyasha clone.
Nothing more. And no, you can't have any of them!
Enjoy the story!

Chapter 7- " Attack "

"Lady Kagome?" Sango asked softly as she walked behing the female hanyou and her pups. Kagome turned her head over her shoulder as she walked and smiled at her best friend.
"Yes? What is it Sango?" Kagome asked.
"Perhaps I'm being paranoid, but, I think someone may be following us." Sango said as Kagome smiled at her, before turning to look ahead again.
"It's only Sesshoumaru." Kagome said.
"Uncle Sessamu? Why is he following us, Mama?" Kaori asked as he tugged on his mother's kimono.
"You're father probably asked him to. Or he probably volunteered for Inuyasha's benefit. Don't worry, dear." Kagome said, looking down at the little boy.
"Can we play with Rin then Mama?" Kaiya asked.
"I don't think Rin is with him, sweetie." Kagome said as the little girl's ears dropped sadly.
"Oh." Kaiya said.
"You two can still play with Auntie Sango." Kagome said, smiling down at the twins.
"You'll play with us?" Kaori asked, tugging on Sango's kimono as she smiled down at him.
"Of course I will." Sango said.
"It's good practice you know. For the day when you and Miroku have children." Kagome said with a smile as she sat down on a sun-bathed hill over looking a small creek.
"This will be a good place to rest for now. Come on you two. Be careful around that stream. I don't want you falling in." Kagome called to her pups.
"I don't know. I think it'll be a while at least, don't you?" Sango asked with a blush as she sat down next to Kagome.
"You never know, Sango. I didn't exactly *expect* the twins, remember? But of course, I couldn't be happier. But that's what I'm saying, it's really something you can never truely plan on. You just have to be ready when the time should come." Kagome said.
"I suppose you're right, of course. Do you think you were ready?" Sango asked.
"I don't really know. I suppose it didn't really matter to me. I love Inuyasha, so it's not like I regret having the twins. I *did* however, curse his name for that entire twenty hours. I really wished he could have been there. You know, so I could have *shared* my pain?" Kagome asked with a teasing smile.
"I'm sure he feels the same why, minus you inflicting the pain of course. But I mean for the birth of his pups. You think you may have more?" Sango asked as Kagome smiled.
"I don't know. I suppose it'll be a little difficult right now, anyway. What with Naraku and now Kikyo joining him. It's too dangerous. At least, with my new hanyou appearace, as well as my Miko powers, I can protect the pups. And they're not exactly defenseless themselves." Kagome said.
"Of course it doesn't help matters that you're pissed at him too. But you're right. It is a little dangerous right now. I am glad you're here with us, Kagome. We were really doing terribly without you. Even if Inuyasha won't admit it." Sango said.
"I know. Sesshoumaru told me as much. I don't know, but he's really changed. There used to be a time when he wouldn't hesitate to use me to get to Inuyasha, but now, it's so different. He actually protects me and my pups." Kagome said.
"Well, he may never admit it, but Sesshoumaru's not really *that* bad a guy, I suppose. He did save my life during a battle with one of Naraku's cronies a few months ago." Sango said.
"He did, huh? Well I suppose it's for the better, this change I mean. He's still *him* you know, but at the same time, he's not. And I don't really think he plans on killing Inuyasha anytime soon. I think he just says that so we won't think he's gone soft." Kagome said.
"Hmph. I hardly think that would be the case, Lady Kagome." Sesshoumaru said, stepping into the sun from the darkness of the forest behind him. Kagome raised an eyebrow at him as Sango jumped startled.
"You're getting rusty, Sesshoumaru." Kagome said.
"I think not. I had no reason to hide from you. Besides, I knew you'd be able to sense me anyhow. That demon blood in you has greatly increased all of your senses, I see." Sesshoumaru said as Kagome nodded.
"That it has. You know I won't be returning so soon, don't you?" Kagome said as Sesshoumaru nodded.
"That I knew. My dear han- my dear brother will just have to wait. As I've already told him." Sesshoumaru said as Kagome nodded.
"Don't take it personally, Sesshoumaru. It's just that he ticked me off. The nerve of him!" Kagome said growling.
"True. But can you blame him? He does love you." Sango said as Kagome snorted.
"Funny way of showing it. 'I'm the male of the species so you have to do whatever *I* say' Bah!" Kagome said, crossing her arms and growling under her breath.
"I know not of these matters, since I have no mate of my own, but I can understand Inuyasha's reasoning, if it could be called that." Sesshoumaru said.
"Reasoning?!" Kagome cried.
"I only mean that he wishes no harm to come to either you or your whelps. He is concerned over your safety. And as far as your companion, that wolf youkai, he was only acting in that way to let the youkai know where he stood. You are his mate, and he doesn't plan on giving you up without a fight. I also see however, that you are a very willful creature. Miko, hanyou, and female. Very willful indeed. You're stubborn nature clashes with his own." Sesshoumaru said.
"Which I suppose is why you two are perfect for each other, Kagome. Sesshoumaru has a point. You really should think about giving him some slack. I mean, he hasn't seen you in three years, then suddenly you show up, completely changed and with his pups in tow. You can't blame him for wanting to protect you with his life." Sango said.
"I suppose you're right. But I'm not the weak human girl I was three years ago. And even then I wasn't *completely* defenseless." Kagome said.
"But you didn't have pups to look after either." Sango added.
"Yes, I suppose you're right. Alright. We'll go back. But not yet. It's very beautiful here. We'll rest here for a while before we head back. Sesshoumaru, if you'd like, you can go on ahead and tell him we'll be returning." Kagome said as Sesshoumaru looked over towards the twins that were playing in the shallowest part of the stream bed.
"No, I think not. It may be best if I returned with you, to ensure your safety, just in case." Sesshoumaru said as Kagome smiled at him.
"If that's what you wish, Sesshoumaru." Kagome said.
"I can't take much more of this! That does it! I'm going out to find her!" Inuyasha cried as Miroku grabbed ahold of his kimono as he passed the monk without looking up.
"You know that would be unwise, Inuyasha. You heard Sesshoumaru. She needs to cool down. She'll come to us." Miroku said as Inuyasha jerked out of his grasp and glared at the monk.
"Feh! You stupid monk! A lot you know! What if they should be attacked, or have you forgotten all the enemies we seem to attract?" Inuyasha asked sarcastically.
"With Lady Kagome's change, and Sango and Sesshoumaru with her, I think they shall be perfectly fine. Don't worry so much-" Miroku said, before Inuyasha was suddenly in his face, with his clawed right hand to the monk's throat as he pinned the monk against the back of the hut.
"*Don't* tell me not to worry, *monk!* Until you and your woman have children, do *not* tell me not to be worried over mine, understood?" Inuyasha growled.
"Inuyasha, this is no way for ye to calm thy self down. Sit, relax, your mate and pups will return to ye, but ye must also rememmber why they left. Ye must remember that the Lady Kagome has changed greatly, and is a lot stronger and more powerful that she once was before. Ye must realize that. Ye can't go around attacking your allies, either." Kaede said, nodding towards Miroku who was still pressed up against the back of the hut.
Inuyasha growled to himself as he stepped back.
"The monk needs to learn to *think* before he speaks." Inuyasha said as Miroku raised an eyebrow.
"Was it not you whose very manner of speaking before properly thinking angered Lady Kagome into leaving?" Miroku asked as Inuyasha turned to growl at him again, before a loud scream was heard from the depth of the forest and a powerful aftershock shook the hut.
"What in the name of-" Inuyasha began.
"What was that?" Miroku asked.
"If I am not mistaken, that was an aftershock of a great power being released, though I can not be sure as to what the source may be. And the other was most certainly that of a woman's scream." Kaede said.
"Kagome!" Inuyasha cried, racing out the door, Miroku right behind him.
