Chapter 2: The Confession
Kagome…
Opening her eyes Kagome sat up and found herself in a very soft bed and in a very tasteful decorated room of red and silver. Near the door was a deep mahogany wooden chair and a small girl about 9 or 10 years of age sat in the chair asleep. Chuckling softly Kagome laid back to rest as a servant rushed suddenly with a clean white kimono with red rose petals embroided all over the bottom with a blood red obi to go with it. Bowing carefully the servant left so Kagome could get dressed. Then the little girl woke up and smiled.
" Hi Rin's name is Rin; what's yours?" The girl smiled cutely.
" I'm Kagome nice to meet you." Kagome smiled at the cuteness of the girl.
" My brother is here." Sesshoumaru said behind the door.
" Thanks Sesshoumaru." Kagome said and received a grunt from the Demon Lord.
" Rin is going to go play with the pretty Elf lady; Kagome-sama can join us when you're done getting dressed." Rin laughed and ran out the door.
Chuckling the young miko/demon got dressed and headed outside to the garden…
Inu-yasha…
Noticing an extra sent other than his brother, Kagome, Jaken, and Ciarda, Inu-yasha searched for the source of it. When entered the garden he saw Ciarda sitting at the fountain brushing the hair of a human girl. Letting curiosity get the best of him the hanyou got a little closer to see the little girl.
" You know you don't have to sneak around like that Inu-yasha." Ciarda said not turning around or stop what she was occupied with.
" Oh, oops." Inu-yasha then sat in front of the child who laughed and point at his ears.
" White haired man has puppy ears; Rin would like to touch one." The girl said innocently as Ciarda quickly braided Rin's hair.
" Well Rin I'm finished with your hair; and if you asked him nicely I'm sure he'd let you touch one of them." Ciarda said tying a peace of leather around the end of Rin's braided hair and gave Inu-yasha a look saying ' humor-the-child-or-face-my-wrath'.
" Can Rin touch one of your ears please?"
" Alright." Inu-yasha picked the girl up carefully and let her rub one of his ears.
" You know maybe I should ask if I can do that one of lease days." Kagome chuckled walking into view.
" Ah. Kagome I see you've healed well." Ciarda smiled kindly.
" Pretty elf lady! Can Rin call you 'Okaa-san'?" Rin said as Inu-yasha gave the small girl to Ciarda.
" Hm… If you wish." Ciarda laughed smoothly.
" Yay! Rin got a new Okaa-san!" Rin cheered and hugged the Elvin girl.
" You know that's cute." Kagome chuckled and Inu-yasha smiled and nodded as Rin yawned.
" I think you need another nap." Ciarda said motherly.
" But Okaa-san Rin slept Kagome-sama's room." Rin said rubbing her eyes.
" Are you giving Ciarda a hard time Rin?" Sesshoumaru said raising a brow.
" No Sesshoumaru-sama." Rin snuggled into Ciarda's arms as Ciarda stood.
" I'm going to take Rin to her room so she can take her nap." Ciarda smiled at Sesshoumaru, who nodded in response.
With Ciarda gone Inu-yasha asked how Kagome became a demon.
" Um… Kikyou attacked me and I went crazy and… I felt a power surged… I don't know I just changed." Kagome scratched her chin with a clawed hand, twitching her ears she hissed and turned around and glared at a figure hidden in the shadows.
" Where is Ciarda my sister?" The figure growled…
Ciarda…
Sensing a new presence Ciarda told Rin to stay in bed and teleported outside beside Sesshoumaru and gasped.
" Naraku why do you have all those Shikon shards?" Ciarda asked tearfully.
" If I had them I would've wished you back to life. But now I know I don't need them; Kagome, here these belong to you. And Inu-yasha, I sorry for what the other Naraku did." The figure said handing Kagome the shards and revealing himself. (AN: This Naraku looks exactly like the one from the anime.)
" Whoa… You look like the one who…" Kagome started.
" Correction he looked like me; and I killed him for attacking my sister." Ciarda's brother said smoothly.
" Ah, family love." Sesshoumaru smiled a real smile.
" Um… Kagome?" Inu-yasha looked at his companion.
" Yes?" Kagome smiled back at him.
" I love you." The male hanyou said and kissed Kagome fully on the lips.
" About damn time." Sesshoumaru chuckled happily
" Keh." Inu-yasha grumbled blushing a deep red.…
