Starting Out Fresh

Chapter 20: Unwelcomed guest

Kagome and Sango were playing with Rina and Shippo while a certain Miroku was relaxing in the shade of a large tree in the garden.

''Rin wants to know if a war is going to happen. Rin doesn't want a war.''

''There is going to be war Rin, unfortunately.'' Kagome said. Rin pouted. I wish I didn't need to say it, but lying wouldn't make things better once she found out. Kagome thought sadly.

''LADY KAGOME! LADY KAGOME!'' Someone yelled. Kagome turned to see the head guard running at her.

''What is wrong?'' Kagome said anxiously. The gaurd gasped for breath for responding.

''We need to send Miroku, Sango and the two children to a safe place before they get hurt. Sesshomaru and the other guards are fighting off a demon. He is powerful because he was able to get past the force field you created.'' The guard said. Kagome nodded and headed to where the guard were at.

''Kagome! Come back!'' Kagome heard Shippo yell, but she ignored him and kept on running.

-------------------------------------------------------------0----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

''Lord Sesshomaru! It's no use! None of us have any powers to defeat him!''Sesshomaru had just come once a guard came to his study to tell him about the intruder.

''What powers does he have?'' Sesshomaru said camly.

''He can fly, and he uses fire,water and lightning.'' Sesshomaru was surprised, but didn't show it. It's rare to even have two powers! he thought. He looked up at the demon who was sending his guards to the ground. The demon had long white hair and silver eyes. His blackwings were shooting out of his back, with all black clothing. And this demon was looking down at Sesshomaru smirking, as if he was telling Sesshomaru he was the next target. The demon swooped down to grab Sesshomaru, but Sesshomaru quickly dodged him.

''Who are you?'' Sesshomaru askeed him. The demon smirked again.

''I am Ungoshimou, demon of fire,water, and lightning. And the demon that will defeat the Lord of the West!'' he relied, sending a lightning bolt toward. But what I really want to do is to find his mate. Unigoshimou thought.

''Be careful Sesshomaru! This demon has a shard in his left arm!'' Kagome said while shooting an arrow. She was breathless but still was going to fight. The purified arrow shot Unigoshimou's left arm and his arm started to glow, and then the large wound closed up. He's using the shard to heal and to make him more powerful! Kagome thought. Before Kagome could shoot another arrow, Ungoshimou grabbed Kagome and sent them up in the air. Kagome was trying to squirm out of his grasp as he laughed.

''You know we're hundreds of feet in the air, and if you want me to drop you, keep on squirming.'' he whispered into her ear.

''GET OFF OF ME!'' Kagomescreamed. A burst ofsilver energy shot out of her hand and the grasp around her waist loosened and Kagome fell down to the floor. Sesshoamru ran and caught herbefore shetouched the ground.

''Thank god I'm not dead!''Kagome said.

''We can celebratelater,because if we waste anyore time, we'll both be dead!'' Sesshomaru said to her.Ungoshimou's leg was now on the floor and the demon's eyes were red.

''YOU WILL PAY!'' Ungoshimou said and grabbed Sesshomaru up in the air. Sesshomaru dug his nails into Ungoshimou's flesh. ''Fool. Now is the end of Lord Sesshomaru!'' Ungoshimou's hand burst with flames, and placed it on Sesshomaru's hand. If I let go, I could be seriously injured, but if I hold on, I'll burn to death! Sesshomaruthought, still holding on to his hand. Krrrraaaccckkk! A huge boomerang appeared and smacked Ungoshimou's arm, breaking it. Ungoshimou let go and Sesshomaru fell down lightly on his feet.

''Sango!'' Kagome said. Kagome hugged her friend. ''I need you to hit arm again, but a little higher. There's a shard there!'' Sango nodded and smacked his arm again before he could react. Sesshomaru saw the jewel and jumped up and pulled it out of his arm.

''YOU WILL SEE ME AGAIN!'' Ungoshimou yelled, dissapearing flying away from the castle. Kagome fealt weak and soon fell into darkness.

-----------------------------------------------------------0-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kagome woke up with Sesshomaru's warm hand grasping her own. ''You're awake.'' Sesshomaru said. Kagome could hear the relief in his voice.

''Kagome's awake.'' Sango called out. Shippo, Miroku, and Rin came into the room, all looking happy.

''What happened?'' Kagome asked. She couldn't remember anything.

''We had beaten Ungoshimou and he had left. And then all of a sudden you fainted.'' Sango explained.Kagome remebered them beating Ungoshimou.

''Can I havea moment with Kagome?'' Sesshomaru asked. They all nodded and left, leaving the two alone.

''I was so worried about you, and--''

''Well, I'm okay now, so it's okay.''

''But what if something happened to you? What if he killed you instead of holding on to you when you were in the air.''

''Well, that's true. But the thing is that i'm all right, and the baby is all right. That's all that matters, right?'' KAgome said, while stroking his cheek.

''I supposeyou are right. But I want you to rest more instead of playing with the children and walking around the castle. Can you promise me that?''

''Yes, I will. I'm sorry for making you worried.'' Kagome said. Sesshomaru stayed with her for a while until he heard her steady breathing and quietly closed the door.

Ungoshimou waswalking around in the forest, his arm still injured and his right leg gone from the fight.

''They will pay. They will certainly pay... once I seeSesshomaru on the battle field, they will pay, and dearly. Just wait, and there will be no Lord of the Western Lands. There will be no Lord Inuyasha, like I said there would be. Once I have all the Shikon Shards,there will be ruler ofthe demon world, Ruler Ungoshimou!'' Unigoshimou whispered to himself, hobbling into the darkness.
