Chapter 28

Visit Totosai

Kagome had set the alarm clock to 4:30am last night and went to bed.

RING RING RING RING RING

Kagome was just about to turn it off when Sesshomaru standing over with her now crushed alarm clock.

"Sesshomaru, why did you do that?" She sounded like she was whining.

"What the hell is this… this contraption?" He looked curiously and trying to observe it like it was going to bite him.

"That WAS my alarm clock but you broke it!" She huffed and Shippo came out of the covers crawling his eyes to Kagome's yelling.

"Mommy, why are you yelling?" He asked rubbing his eye lids

"Oh, I'm sorry Shippo, did I wake you up? I'm sorry; you can go back to bed now." She smiled

"Okay then." He walked on Kagome's lap and Kagome knew he wanted her to cradle him in her arms so she did. In a few minutes Shippo went back to sleep and Sesshomaru looked surprised at this.

Kagome looked at the sleeping Shippo to the tall demon and whispered a little. "Why did you break my alarm clock?"

"I thought you were being attacked" he replied and she giggled

"What is so funny?" he asked

"Nothing, just that… I don't think anything would be stupid to do that." She smiled

He smirked very little.

"Come on, if you want these to at the village before sunrise, we should leave soon."

"Okay, but next time, please don't be like Inuyasha and break something just because it scares you. I know you that you were almost given a heart attack because of it" She smiled and Sesshomaru looked away slowly

"I don't get scared." He sounded like he even did a small snort

She nodded and tapped Kirara lightly and she woke up and jumped on Kagome's shoulder and stood in front of Sesshomaru with a smile.

"We're ready when you are Sesshomaru." She gleamed as he just raised an eyebrow.

"Let's go then." They soon walked out of the castle and were now walking to the village.

When they arrived there all of the villagers were asleep and so was her group. Kagome saw a bump on Inuyasha's head so she knew he was trying to get away a few times. She slowly and quietly put Shippo where her sleeping bag was and put Kirara next to him. She then nodded to Sesshomaru and they decided to go now.

"Leave the sword." Sesshomaru said quickly

"What, why? What if I transform? I'll have the strength of Atsuko!" She whispered

"I can deal with that, besides, we are going to Totosai to see if he can do something to allow you be a demon with your heart seeing how it's probably impossible for you to be human again." He explained though he hated to explain all the time.

She looked down at the ground knowing he was right. 'I'll never be a human again… never…' She clenched he fists tightly before she removed the sword from her waist and set it on top of the hut so the others wouldn't touch it.

She then gave him a nod and they left towards the volcano of Totsai.

After three or so hours Shippo woke up since he had a long sleep yesterday.

"Ah, where's Kagome?" He shouted and woke everyone up in the hut wondering what happened.

"Shippo, what are you doing here?" Sango asked while rubbing her eyes to wake up.

"Kagome probably brought him back because he was annoying." Inuyasha muttered

"Shut up Inuyasha!" he sighed "I guess she didn't want me and Kirara to go incase it didn't work." He sighed again.

"What do you mean, 'incase it didn't work', what are you talking about?" Miroku asked Shippo who looked like he was awake but his hand was starting to go somewhere.

"Back off pervert!" WHACK! Sango hit him across the face

"Kagome whispered to me and Kirara last night before she went to sleep with us that she was going to talk to that old guy about seeing if it was possible for her to keep her hea…" He stopped when something had pulsed through him. "Huh? That pulse, it's… familiar." He soon widened his eyes from realizing what it was.

"What is it Shippo?" Sango asked

Shippo looked at the bracelet that Atsuko gave Shippo to find Kagome's sword. "It's the sword." He simply said. "It's pulsing, I can feel it." Kirara soon woke up because she felt it to.

"Kirara, do you feel it also?" Inuyasha asked and she nodded with a meow.

Shippo shook his head and ran out of the hut and looked around and Kirara helped look. They couldn't see the sword, but they know it was there. The sword pulsed harder. Shippo and Kirara knew where it was, they couldn't find it in the village anywhere because it was on top of the hut they were on.

Kirara and Shippo jumped up on the hut and they saw it.

"Inuyasha! Kagome didn't take her sword!" Shippo yelled

"WHAT? But she might not be able to make it with the stupid thing." Inuyasha jumped on the roof and was about to grab it but froze when he remember he wasn't suppose to touch it and so he backed away from it and jumped down.

"Inuyasha, why didn't you pick up the sword? Miroku and Sango both asked.

"Because Inuyasha is not all demon; he's only half." Shippo said picking it up. "If he touched it, he dies the same with you guys." He said while getting down from the roof top.

Miroku and Sango didn't understand and the others didn't bother to tell them.

"Sesshomaru, can we run? I'm getting a little bored." She started to laugh a little

Sesshomaru raised an eyebrow once more to a question of hers. "Fine" Kagome jumped up and down and then they started to run. A few wandering people were walking and then saw two blurs; one looked like a priestess from the clothes, and the other who knows. They just thought they were losing their minds.

After a hour of good running they were there, Sesshomaru was surprised that she kept up with him, even when he increased his speed a little and there she was having the fun of all time racing him. The walked up the volcano and went to talk to Totosai.

"Totosai, how have you been?" Kagome greeted him

"Kagome, is that you?" He asked and she nodded and Sesshomaru walked in.

"Totosai, you are aware of the downfalls of the sword for Kagome don't you.

"There are no downfalls about the sword that I know of." He replied

Sesshomaru grabbed him and raised him in the air so Totosai's feet couldn't touch the ground. "Put him down." Kagome made it sound like a command so Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes and dropped him and Kagome smiled.

"Sorry Totosai." Kagome apologized about Sesshomaru. "The sword that you have made has a down fall… Like, if I turn into a demon once more, I will loose my heart, is there a way to prevent that?" Kagome asked

"Well, the sword is you, and you are the sword, but yes, there is a way." He said while shining a sword.

"Can you tell me Totosai instead of trying to make me find out?" She asked

He was just going to tell her that she had to find out on her own. But her soft amber eyes were too soft and convinced him to tell her. He didn't know that anyone could have softer eyes than Inuyasha or Sesshomaru.

Totosai sighed. "You must break the sword in two, but with your bare hands shall you be able to keep your heart, but when you transform into a demon, you will have a lot of pain when it happens." He explained

"Break the sword in two, got it." She nodded and waved goodbye to Totosai who waved back.

'I hope that if she turns into a demon that her eyes won't be any softer or else she'll be scary to look in the eye!' He thought to himself and got back to work.

Kagome looked up at the sky and sighed. "If I become a demon… life if is going to be so weird."
