A.n: Okay, I got 1 review. C'mon peeps! I'm not doing this for my health here! J/K...I love just writing, but I know some people are reading and not reviewing! PLEASE REVIEW! IT BOOSTS MY CONFIDENCE AND WILL MAKE THE STORT BETTER. Please review. Maybe the ending of this chapter will spark you guys. I'm desperate here and the story is coming to an end pretty soon, but I have a sequel planned out. I'm only going to write it if I get people who want one. If not then the ending to this story will leave you hanging...and I mean it...this story has a hell of an ending, but we'll get to that soon...REVIEW!
Laughter filled the air around the forest and white blade shapes came whizzing from behind Sesshomaru, cutting the trees down with it...
Just before the blades hit Sesshomaru, he leaped into the air and back flipped over the blades and landed facing his attacker. They stepped out of the shadows and was revealed as Kagura.
"Kagura..." (A.n: See?)
Kagura snickered and lifted her fan over her face to hide her smile.
"We meet again, Sesshomaru. I assume you know the reason why I have tracked you down."
Sesshomaru raised an eyebrow and nodded. He knew perfectly...perfectly well not to help Kagura with her problems.
"Well, I will get right down to business. I need you to help me escape Naraku. You are the only one capable of defeating him and..."
"We've been through this, Kagura. I will not help you. I have no desire to obtain the Sacred Jewel, nor do I have the need to destroy Naraku. I have no quarrel with him."
Kagura frowned, but nodded in agreement.
"True, you do not have quarrel with him and you do not need the power of the Jewel. That's my point. You are more powerful than the Jewel and that is all what Narkau's power is...the power of the Jewel."
Sesshomaru sighed with boredom. He did not need this at the moment and frankly, he'd rather be off to get Rin away from Inuyasha.
" I have tried as you suggested, Sesshomaru. I have tried so hard to escape Naraku by myself, but I have failed. He is someone you just can't go up against alone..."
"But you expect me to..."
Kagura laughed at shook her head. She waved her fan slowly and Sesshomaru grew tense.
"Nonsense. I would aid you of course and I know someone that also is seeking Naraku for revenge and would probably join you."
Sesshomaru chuckled and graped Tokijin's hilt tightly. Kagura's eyes widened as she saw him grab his sword, but she kept still.
"Do you expect me to ally myself with my half-breed brother?"
Kagura's eyes sparkled and she shook her head. She took the feather from her head and threw it down on the ground. It flew her up into the sky over Sesshomaru.
"No...someone else that shares your hatred for Inuyasha."
Sesshomaru blinked. Who else could she be talking about?
"Think about, Sesshomaru. I will be back soon."
And with that, she was gone and Sesshomaru stood there, confused. The wind picked up gently and he sniffed the air. There was a scent on the wind that had died away days ago, but now it was strong and full of life. A scent of someone he thought was dead...
The gang walked down a dirt road to the next town and Rin skipped around them happily.
"Thank you, Kagome...for watching ove rme. I'm sure Lord Sesshomaru appreciates it."
Inuyasha snorted and Kagome smiled at him.
"Oh c'mon, Inuyasha! Maybe Sesshomaru has soften up..."
"Yeah, and I'm not really half dog...I'm half monkey."
Kagome rolled her eyes and Rin giggled. Inuyasha smiled at Rin slightly, but Rin's focus was somewhere's else. She skipped over to Kilala and picked her up carefully and hugged her. Kilala mewed and cuddled against Rin's cheek. Sango walked closer to Kagome and smiled at her.
"You know, this girl is really cute."
Kagome nodded and watched Rin closely. She didn't have the personalilty that Kagome thought Sesshomaru would've liked to be around. Rin was just so energetic and...happy and Sesshomaru was just...not.
Inuyasha stopped suddenly and Kagome wlked right into him. She glared at Inuyasha's backside and was about to say something when I feeling prickled her senses. She could sesne two jewel shards and they were straight up the road. Inuyasha turned to Kagome and she nodded. The two of them ran ahead and Miroku and Sango looked at eachother with confusion.
"Let's follow them. Shippo, Kilala...stay with Rin."
Shippo nodded and Kilala transformed at growled. Rin's eyes grew wide at Kialla and she giggled happily.
Sango and Miroku caught up to Inuyasha and Kagome just as they stopped over something. Sango looked around Kagome's shoulder and gasped in horror...
Kikyou stood at the edge of a lake, staring down at the water and at her refelction. She was trying to figure out what went wrong with her plans, with Inuyasha. She was also trying to hide from Naraku. Kikyou knew Inuyasha would come seeking revenge on her for making Kagome turn against him. She couldn't understand how Inuyasha was able to forget about her and go with Kagome. He had said that he would still avenge her death, but he would not join her in hell. He seemed to had found peace with her reincarnation and she knew she would have to go to drastic measures and make Inuyasha suffer for good...she would have to stage Kagome's death and make Inuyasha feel the guilt of killing another woman he loved...maybe that would drive him over the edge...maybe...
Sango was speechless and Kagome was wide-eyed.
"Oh...my...god...!"
It was Miroku who had spoken first. What laid before them in a heap was Koga.
Inuyasha poked the wolf with his foot and Koga twitched.
"He's alive!"
Kagome sighed with relief. Inuyasha did his trademark "keh" and folded his arms.
Koga looked okay to Kagome for someone that, in Kagome's eyes, had died a few days ago. He only had a few bloodied cuts and a few bruises laced his skin, but for him...he was okay.
"Well, if he's unconcious...let's just take the jewel shards in his legs and leave him."
Kagome scowled at Inuyasha and kneeled over Koga. Inuyasha sighed in digust as Kagome touched Koga's shoulder and shook his gently.
"Koga?"
"All I want to know is how he survived..."
" BE QUIET, INUYASHA!" Or I'll say the "s" word..."
Inuyasha growled and kept his mouth shut, for an insult was prickling the end of his tongue. Kagome shook Koga more and he stirred.
"Koga?"
"Hmm...K-Kagome...?"
Kagome smiled and nodded. She grabbed Koga's arm and hoisted his up in the sitting position.
"W-what happened?"
"How about you tell us, you mangy wolf!"
Kagome's face grew red and she growled.
" WILL YOU JUST "SIT" DOWN FOR ONE SECOND AND BE QUIET! "SIT"TING IS GOOD FOR YOU, INUYASHA! SO...SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT!"
Inuyasha was in a crater 10 "sit"s deep by the time Kagome was done. He groaned from the hole and Kagome turned back to Koga, who was still trying to get his barings.
"Koga...we thought you were dead. We saw you..."
Koga shook his head and tried to stand up, but he fell back down with a big thud.
"It's okay...take it easy..."
Sango kneeled down and helped Kagome pull Koga to his feet.
"I-I don't know what happened. One m-minute I was in battle with mutt face and t-then I was...just not there anymore. I remeber putting up a barrier, but it's a-all fuzzy after that. You smell..."
Koga blinked and he sniffed Kagome more. She looked at him with confusion. Koga knew something was different about her and her smell...she smelled like...Inuyasha, but there was another smell, a scent that came from...
Koga pushed Kagome and Sango away and glared at the recovering Inuyasha that was just crawling out of the hole. Koga walked over to Inuyasha with some new found strength and pulled him out of the hole roughly.
"Y-you bastard. How-how dare you..."
"What the hell are you talking about, flea bag?"
Koga growled and looked at Inuyasha like he didn't believe him.
"Don't tell me you can't smell it, Inuyasha. Don't tell me you can't sense it?"
Inuyasha was so confused. What the hell was he going on about?
"I don't understand."
"Like hell you don't! I can sense it and your...you just have a pathetic dog nose that can't pick up scents like I can. Look at Kagome and tell me that you can't smell...it reeks off of her!"
Inuyasha looked at Kagome and she looked at him questioningly. He shook his head and looked back at Koga, who just shook his head in disbelief and sped off towards his den. Kagome looked at Sango and she shrugged.
Kogas thought were in a whirl. How hadn't Inuyasha caught that scent that rolled off of Kagome in waves. He knew that Inuyasha and Kagome had mated, he could smell him all over her, but the one scent that sickened him the most and truly told him that they had mated...Kagome was with child...
A.n: OOO! Unexpected or obvious? Tell me!! PLEASE REVIEW!
