Chapter 7: Inuyasha's alive?

DISCLAIMER: I do not own it, just my totally awesome character. Please inform me if you have seen Kenshaw's name anywhere else, so that, if I must, I can change it. Thank you.

While they followed the "despicable" dragon, Kagome thought back on her choice she made with the Jewel. That was probably one of the reasons Keade didn't like her.

FLASHBACK:

"Keade, I'm going to use the Jewel to become a full blooded demon. You can't stop me, for it is my choice."

"That would not be wise, child, you could be hurt. I advise against it. I cannot stop you, but I can tell you that you may not be happy with your choice. Once you make it though, you cannot go back, for the Jewel will be destroyed."

"Don't lecture me about what to do with my own Jewel, Keade, I don't have to listen to you. Inuyasha is dead, and I have to do something. It is my choice about what I do with the Jewel, and you cannot change my mind. I will do what I want with the Shikon no Tama."

"So be it, but let it be known that you will no longer be accepted in this village once the choice has been made. At least you won't be accepted as a miko anymore."

But Kagome wasn't listening, she was too busy focusing her energy into making her wish through the Jewel. There was a blinding flash of light, and a transformed Kagome was standing before Keade. This new Kagome was a kitsune, or so it appeared. But only Kagome would really know. And Keade found in her heart a great loathing for what Kagome had become.

END FLASHBACK:

"Lady, you are going to miss the one you are searching for if you do not pay attention!" Kenshaw's voice snapped her out of her reverie. She had not been paying attention, and so she didn't notice the weak Hanyou power that was emanated from the nearby cave like structure.

So he's in there, now is he? Why is he hiding. I just need to bring him back to Keade. It can't be that hard, now can it? Kagome had no idea how hard it would be to get her one time love to come with her. She had sensed him die, but didn't know that he could be resurrected until it was too late. And now she had to pay for that.

"Kagome? Is that you? I thought that you had....... Wait one minute....... You smell different....... You're a demon?!?!?!?!!!!" His surprise was great, and she did not know how to handle it. He had never been like that when she was human. But she was no longer human, and she was more attracted to the older brother of the two sons of Lord Nishi. She did not have any interest in Inu-baka's feelings and emotions.

"Inuyasha, I need you to come with me. You are wanted by the revered Keade, and I am not one to ignore such a request." She had no time to play around and convince him, she just needed him to come. You know, Keade didn't specify whether she wanted the head connected and alive or not, she just said that she wanted his head. I can do that. His head will complain all the way, too.

"What if I don't want to come? How can I know that you are telling the truth?" At this statement, Sesshoumaru winced. He hated the fact that if his brother continued to be his usual stubborn self, he'd never be freed of this dreadful curse. And because of that very curse, the emotions showed.

"WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY BROTHER, WENCH? IF IT'S IRREVERSABLE, I'LL KILL YOU!" Inuyasha had never had any trouble with showing his emotions to others. The only emotion he never showed was love. That was because love had been stolen from him long ago; stolen along with the life of his mother.

"I merely put a minor curse on Lord Sesshomaru-sama, and I wish to remove it, so that he may live a normal life." For some odd reason, Sess suddenly found that he had a slight bit of gratitude toward this....... He wasn't sure that she was a vixen, but for want of a better word, vixen that had harmed him was all that came to his mind.

"All right, I'll come with you, but only if it's to cure my brother."

"Why, Little Brother, I didn't know that you cared for me so much. Maybe I can someday let you return to the castle. Maybe." That thought scared Inuyasha, and he reflexively declined.

"No, I can't do that, it would make Jaken and the others wonder. I will do what it takes to get you healed, or whatever it is, and then I will go my own way."

"Very well, let us get to my castle to fetch Rin, and then we can go back to Keade."

They set off to see the castle, and to get Rin away from Jaken, who absolutely despised her. When they got there, for it was not far away, they found Rin outside, crying, as if she had already been treated badly.

Sesshoumaru became worried, and he immediately was at her side.

"Rin, what happened? If Jaken has harmed you in any way, I will make him wait on you hand and foot for the rest of your life! How would you like that, my child?" Inuyasha was surprised that Sesshoumaru could show that kind of affection for a ningen child, and was silent, and he waited for them in the trees a ways away from the castle that he had once called home.

"Sesshoumaru-sama, Jaken has banished Rin from the castle, and Rin wants to stay with you! Make him take me back!" At this point, Rin began to cry again.

"He will not banish you, that is the Lord's job, and I say that you stay with me always, Rin. As my child. You have my permission to call me father if you wish."

"Rin likes you, Sesshoumaru-sama, but it will be hard for Rin to call you daddy."

"That's fine, Rin, just come with me, and we'll take care of mean old Jaken."

"Okay, Sesshoumaru-sama. Rin will come with you."
