I am such an idiot! I was reading over all of my other chapters and I found so many huge mistakes! I'm not talking about missing a letter in a word either, even though there are a lot of those. I'm talking about the fact that Hiei was introduced to the Inuyasha group twice. TWICE! But, I fixed that so that he's only introduced to Kouga in chapter ten. Also, in chapter ten, I said that they would leave for the tournament the next day, but in chapter eleven I said that it was a week later that they were leaving. But I fixed that too. I made it say that they would leave in a few days, and I made chapter eleven correspond to that. But still… How could I have missed that?! Why didn't you people say anything?! Now I feel so stupid!!! Dammit! I hate feeling stupid!

Chapter Twelve- An Explanation For Fluffy!

The fight between Kuwabara and Rinku ended pretty quickly, with Rinku being the winner. Kurama stepped into the ring next, against Roto. Roto was foolish enough to threaten Kurama's human mother and the fight ended with the idiotic youkai being killed by one of Kurama's plants. Hiei was up next against Zeru, who was killed by Hiei's Dragon of the Darkness Flame.

After seeing the strength of Hiei's dragon, the remaining two fighters for Team Rokuyukai started to flee for their pathetic little lives. When they reached the tunnel leading to the exit, a loud commotion was heard and then a tall figure emerged. The drunken man walked on wobbly legs up to the arena and everyone soon found out that he was the actual leader of the team but sucked at "Rock-Paper-Scissors." But now that the other team members were dead, he could fight.

Kagome was about to step forward to fight the huge guy with the Mohawk, but the now-conscious Yusuke beat her to it. He and Chu (for the oblivious people: Chu is the drunk Mohawk guy) started fighting and it soon became obvious that they were pretty evenly matched. In the end, the two had a fist fight with their heels up against some knives. Considering Yusuke has the hardest head in the world, he was able to take the beating better and won.

"Well, that was interesting," Kagome said with wide eyes. "I now know how Yusuke was able to live through my beatings. If he can stand Chu's punches, then mine must feel like little slaps."

Meanwhile Koto was making the announcement that was already evident to everyone else. "The winner of the first match is Team Urameshi!"

Kagome snorted. "Well, duh."

Koto glared at her. "You trying to start something, human? 'Cause I'll take you on any time."

"You wouldn't stand a chance. I could beat you in no time."

Kurama laid a hand on Kagome's shoulder. "Perhaps it is not the best time to kill the announcer. She still has a job to do."

"Hn. Why'd you stop her, fox? It would have been interesting," Hiei said, angry that his entertainment was no more.

"Whether we like her or not, Koto is protected by the tournament committee. If we kill her, there is a chance that our friends and family may be harmed."

"Yeah, but it wouldn't be too hard to kill the committee," Kagome pointed out.

Kurama sighed and said, "Fine. Fight her if you really want to."

Kagome smirked and turned to face Koto. She cracked her knuckles and asked, "Ready?"

Koto fidgeted nervously and said, "Maybe another time, human."

Kagome and Yusuke laughed and Yusuke said, "She's scared of you Kagome!"

Kurama just shook his head. "Perhaps we should go back to the hotel."

Everyone agreed and they started to head back. They met up with Sango, Miroku, Inuyasha, Kouga, Kirara, and Shippou outside of the stadium and Shippou immediately jumped onto Kagome's shoulder.

"Why didn't that lady want to fight you, 'Kaa-san?"

Kagome smiled at him. "I'm not entirely sure, Shippou-chan. But I think she was scared."

The rest of them, besides Kurama, just grinned. They finished the walk to the hotel and then decided to get some lunch. After lunch, Shippou yawned loudly.

"Come on, Shippou-chan. Let's get you up to the room so you can take a nap." She picked him up and walked to the team's room. After tucking him into her bed, she gently placed a kiss on his forehead. "Now get some rest, Shippou-chan. You'll probably need it if we're going to be here for a while."

He yawned and quickly fell asleep. Kagome smiled at his sleeping form and stood to leave the room. She joined her friends in the living room, and many of them were quick to reprimand her for trying to pick a fight with Koto.

"Kagome-sama, I don't think that it was wise to make enemies so early on in the tournament," Miroku said.

"Yeah, Kagome-chan. You really shouldn't have tried to fight her, although it would have been funny to see you beat her into the ground," Sango said with a grin plastered on her face.

Any further discussion of the topic was interrupted by a knock. Kagome jumped up to answer the door, but Yusuke beat her to it. After flinging open the door, the idiotic detective came face to face with Sesshoumaru. Inuyasha placed his hand on Tetsusaiga's hilt just in case, but Kagome just smiled up at the Taiyoukai.

"Hello Sesshoumaru-sama. What brings you here?"

"You said that you would explain to me how you are still alive."

"Oh yeah. I remember that now." Kagome smiled at him again. "So you want that explanation now, huh?"

He nodded. "I would also like to request that you join me in my private suite. I do not wish for any interruptions."

"Sure." She hopped up from her position on the floor and moved to stand next to Sesshoumaru. "If Shippou wakes up, tell him where I went. But I should be back by then."

Everyone nodded and Kagome walked out the door with Sesshoumaru.

"So, you think that he'll be able to tolerate her for more than five minutes?"

"No way in hell."

>>>With Sess and Kag in his suite>>>

"So do you know any of my story, Sesshoumaru-sama?"

"No, and call me Sesshoumaru. You became my equal long ago. There is no reason for you to call me Sesshoumaru-sama."

Kagome was shocked into silence for a moment before saying, "Well I never thought I'd hear that from you. But I'm honored to be considered your equal. Now, I guess I need to start my story from the beginning for you to understand it."

He nodded. "Take as much time as you need for a proper explanation."

"Okay, I suppose I should start with my fifteenth birthday. Everything up to this point happens all because of that day." From there, Kagome explained to the inu youkai everything that had happened since she was pulled down the well. In the process, she clarified how she was still alive. "So, did you get all that?" Kagome asked, beaming at her one-youkai audience.

"Never would I have thought that anything of the sort would happen to you. I had always thought that you were strange, but I had no idea the extent of it."

"Strange? What a very nice way to put it Sesshoumaru," Kagome said, sending a mock glare his way.

Sesshoumaru smirked at her. "I know."

"So Sesshoumaru, what's been going on with your life?"

"Nothing out of the ordinary. Rin just had her sixth child, and her first daughter just had her fourth child," Sesshoumaru said casually.

"Wait a second. Rin is alive and she's had six kids?" At Sesshoumaru's nod, Kagome smiled. "Care to explain that?"

"I came across a book in my study that had a spell that could change Rin into a youkai if it was used correctly."

"So it was used correctly and Rin became a demon?" He nodded. "Well, I can figure out the rest from there. Is she going to be joining you here?"

"Yes. In fact, she should be arriving in an hour. Would you like to see her and her new daughter?"

Kagome beamed at him. "I would love to."

The two kept talking for a while before Sesshoumaru said, "I think that you should rejoin your friends. They are probably worried because you have been gone for so long."

They both stood and Sesshoumaru led Kagome to the elevator. They were quiet as they slowly walked back to Kagome's room and as they were about to reach the door, Kagome turned to Sesshoumaru. "Now don't forget to come get me when you're ready to go greet Rin. I want to see her too." When she received a nod from him she gave a small smile and then joined the others once again in the living room.

"It's about time you got back," Yusuke said in an irritated voice. "It's been two damn hours. We thought that he'd kill you within five minutes."

"Well excuse me for being social. Some people aren't immature jerks like you."

A loud snort was heard and every head turned to Hiei, who was sitting in a corner of the room.

"Is there something you want to say Hiei?" Kagome's glare landed on him and he cringed.

"No."

"That's what I thought." After a pause she asked, "Do you know who our next opponents are yet?"

Kurama shook his head. "We should find out sometime this afternoon. Until then, it might be wise to go watch some of the matches."

Sango and Miroku quickly agreed, but Kagome said, "You guys go ahead. I might go eventually, but for now I have to wake Shippou up and get him some lunch before Sesshoumaru gets here."

"Sesshoumaru? Why's that bastard comin' back?"

"Language, Inuyasha. And he's coming back so that he can take me to see Rin."

"Rin? Isn't that the little brat that used to follow him around?" At Kagome's nod, he snorted. "Then there's no way it's the same girl. She was human, so she'd be dead by now."

A smirk took over Kagome's face as she asked, "Oh really, Inuyasha? How would you know?"

"Because she was human. Any idiot knows that a human can't live for five hundred years."

"But what if she wasn't human?"

"What the hell are you talking about, wench? The brat was definitely human."

"Maybe at first, but she was changed into a demon later on." After sticking her tongue out at Inuyasha as a symbol of her victory, Kagome went to wake Shippou up from his nap.

By the time Shippou was fully awake and had eaten his lunch, Sesshoumaru had arrived. Walking to the docks, the three eagerly awaited Rin's arrival. "Hey Okaa-san, do you think Rin will play with me?"

"I'm not sure, Shippou-chan. She might if you ask really, really nicely."

All conversation was cut off as a large ship came closer to the island. When it finally started unloading passengers, a tall woman with shining chocolate eyes immediately caught their attention. In her arms was a small bundle wrapped tightly up to keep the little girl from experiencing the chill of the winds that blasted through the island. A huge smile took over Kagome's face as she looked upon the woman that was once little Rin-chan.

Shippou smiled too and called out, "Rin!"

She turned their way and her mouth fell open in shock for a moment before she smiled in return. She quickly grabbed her small bag and walked over to the small group. As soon as se reached them, she dropped the bag and gave Kagome a one-armed hug. "Kagome-neesan! I missed you so much! You too Shippou-chan!"

The three embraced as Rin's daughter watched in confusion. Suddenly she laughed and clapped her tiny hands, drawing everyone's attention to her.

"We have a lot of catching up to do, Rin-chan."
