Chapter Two.

Kagome wrapped her head in a scarf and put on a dark coat and sunglasses. With this disguise she hoped that the reporters wouldn't hound her too much when she went down to the morgue to claim Inu-yasha's body. She was thankful that he'd died in his human form because if he'd been a demon then there would be no way that anyone could have claimed his body. Instead it would have been carted off to a science lab for research and experimentation. The government might even have tried to clone Inu-yasha to make an unbeatable half demon army or something weird like that. Kagome worried about all these crazy things the entire ride down to the city morgue. When she arrived there however she was surprised to find the reporters and curious onlookers gone.

"What's going on?" She asked her mother.

"I don't know dear." Kagome's mother said to her as they went inside to the front desk. There was policeman sitting behind the desk filling our some paperwork with one of the Doctors.

"Excuse me." Kagome said. "I'm here to claim a…" She gulped. "A body."

"Which one dear, we've got over a hundred here." The Doctor said.

"We're here for my daughter's lover, his name was Inu-yasha." Kagome's mother told them. The Doctor looked at his chart.

"I'm sorry I don't see his name here. Is he one of the John Does?" The Doctor asked.

"Wait doc, she means the fallen hero." The Policeman said, "I've got his name right here on the papers we were just filling out. I'm sorry," He said turning to Kagome. "But the great Inu-yasha's brother has already come to claim his body." Kagome and her mother gasped.

"His brother, are you sure?" Kagome asked. "What was his name?"

"Uh…it was a Mr. Sesshomaru." The Policeman said looking at the papers. "He was just here about five minutes ago." Kagome couldn't believe it, how could Sesshomaru have come to claim Inu-yasha's body?

"You're absolutely sure that it was Sesshormaru?" Kagome demanded. "He had long white hair tied back, dark sunglasses, wearing a black suit, and only one arm?"

"That's the guy to a T, Miss." The Doctor said. "I remember he came in just like you did only he had his little girl with him."

"Little Girl?" Kagome asked. "I didn't know that Sesshomaru had a daughter. Or could she be that girl I saw with him the day he arrived here?"

"They were very distraught over your boyfriend's death. I'm sorry but maybe if you'll go home then you'll hear from them, Miss, they're probably trying to call you right now." The Doctor and the Policeman returned to their paperwork and left Kagome and her mother to ponder over this turn of events. How could Sesshomaru have come to claim Inu-yasha's body when he quite plainly hated him? Was to try to revive Inu-yasha with his Tensaiga? No, it have been too long since Inu-yasha's death for that. There was no hope now, Kagome feared, and no way to recover the body since she did not know where Sesshomaru was.

---------Scene Break----------

"The demons of the underworld have not yet come to claim your soul Inu-yasha." Sesshormaru said as he laid out his brother's body on the bed. "Could it be that you are still alive?" He drew his sword Tensaiga and waited for the demons to appear. They did not though. He could not see them and he was sure that they had not come yet. "What are you waiting for Inu-yasha?" Sesshomaru asked.

"Lord Sesshomaru, could it be that he is lacking in motivation to awaken from his dark sleep?" Jaken asked.

"Hmm, but what kind of motivation?" Sesshomaru asked.

"Maybe it's like the Prince in my story book." Ren said holding up her new book for her Lord to see. "In the story the handsome Prince fights a demon, but is placed underneath a spell that only his true love, the beautiful Princess, can break." The girl explained. Sesshomaru looked at the book for a moment then turned towards the door.

"Me Lord, where are you going?" Jaken asked him then.

"To find a Princess."

---------Scene Break---------

Kagome sat in the nursery with her baby after having returned from the city morgue. The disappearance of Inu-yasha's body was eating her up inside. She didn't know what to do, think, or feel. Had Sesshomaru come to claim the body as the Police said? It had to have been him because no one else would have any cause to take the body. Then again, why would Sesshomaru want it? Inu-yasha was dead and after such a long time even the sword Tensaiga couldn't bring Inu-yasha back to life.
