Chapter5

"Here Rin, look what I made you." Kagome made a flower necklace and placed it around her neck.
"Wow! It's so pretty!" Rin shouted and hugged Kagome.
"I'm glad you like it Rin." She rubbed Rin's head happily.

While Kagome and Rin were playing with flowers, Jaken was somewhere, Shippo was sleeping in a room Sesshomaru addressed him to, and Sesshomaru was watching Rin and Kagome outside. Kagome caught the scent of Sesshomaru and could tell he was in the room where they slept.

"Rin, will you excuse me for the moment?" Kagome asked her.
"Kay!" Rin said happily.
"Thank you Rin." Kagome said and jumped to where Sesshomaru was.

"Would it be okay if I went to my lands tonight?" Kagome asked in a sad tone.
"Nh, it is up to you." He said with a little bit of sadness in his tone.
"I know Rin won't like it much I know for sure, but what about you?" She tried to search in his golden orbs.
"What do you mean?" He tried to ask coldly.
"Never mind." She sighed and started to walk away but Sesshomaru grabbed her arm.
"I caught you." Sesshomaru said with a smirk.
"But hey! That's not fair!" She shouted in a bit of a playful tone.
"To bad, now explain to me how you know my father." He said with a cold tone again.
"Fine then." She walked right in front of him and Sesshomaru didn't move but watched her.

Kagome closed her eyes to concentrate on her powers and when it was balanced enough she lifted her right hand and touched Sesshomaru's crescent with a finger. Sesshomaru noticed that a necklace of the dog began to appear around her neck. Suddenly they were engulfed by a blue light that took them to past, they would be able to see what happened. Sesshomaru didn't really expect all this but no else really did except Kagome.

They went to the past about 206 years ago while Sesshomaru was still young and his father; Inutaisho was alive and so was Kojestu. When they finally reached that destination they were in the same room in the same castle and nothing in it looked the same.

The regular typing is when Kagome and Sesshomaru are talking.

The italics is people from the past talking (Exp. Kojestu, Inutaisho, Little Sesshomaru)

"Come on, they can't see nor hear us but you'll understand soon enough." Kagome smiled and grabbed his hand and walked out the door and walked near the study chambers.

"Father, Lord Kojestu is here as you requested!" Spoke a little boy who looked no younger then 5 years old.
"Yes son I know, tell him I'll be there in a minute." Inutaisho said with his strong voice.

"Father?" Sesshomaru said questionably.
"Yup, that's Lord Inutaisho." Kagome smiled at him. "You looked so cute when you were little." She added and made him blush slightly.
"Let's see where you father is then." He said walking away.
"Okay, but there's nothing to be embarrassed of just because I said that you were cute!" She shouted at him a little angrily as she started to watch behind. "If anything you still are, just a little bit more aggressive." She mumbled under her breath.
"That's enough, now shut up!" He yelled at her and startled her a little; he didn't mean to do that, he just never really felt embarrassed before like that.
"Fine!" She yelled back and ran through the hallway.

When he was actually going to say sorry to her he couldn't find her. When he turned around hearing voice he looked at it was Kojestu and himself when he was younger.

"Lord Kojestu, when will princess Kagome be born?" Sesshomaru looked up to him.
"Heh, you just want to have someone to play with don't you?" Kojestu laughed.
"It gets boring here sometimes, not many people to talk to." He replied.
"I bet Kagome would change all that when she's born and gets older." He patted his head."

Sesshomaru's eyes grew saddened and noticed it was true. Kagome did give him someone to talk to. But now she was somewhere probably crying.

"Ah Lord Kojestu, nice to see you again." Inutaisho shook his hand.
"Good to see you too Lord Inutaisho." Kojestu said as they stopped shaking hands.
"Come, I want to show you something, now follow me, Sesshomaru, you may come to if you want." Inutaisho replied as he walked back into the study chambers.

Kojestu and Sesshomaru followed him.

Sesshomaru decided to come along and see what was going to happen again. He figured he could leave Kagome alone for a while.

"Kojestu, this is the dog necklace, do you remember it?" Inutaisho asked.
"That I do, why do you ask?" Kojestu questioned.
"Anyone who puts a drop of their blood on it, it can remember." He replied as he poked his own finger to draw one drop of blood out. It was dissolved into the necklace. "It's your turn, Kojestu." Inutaisho told him and Kojestu did the same.
"Why did you want me to do that?" Kojestu asked.
"Come back for this in two years, and give it to Princess Kagome when she is born. I feel something will happen as she grows." He explained.
"Father, does this mean that Princess Kagome will remember you and Lord Kojestu no matter what?" The young Sesshomaru asked.
"Yes son, no matter what happens." He smiled and patted his head. "Lets have lunch shall we Kojestu?" He asked him and Kojestu nodded and so they went as Sesshomaru kept looking and the necklace.

When Inutaisho and Kojestu left, Sesshomaru poke his little finger and made one drop of blood go on the necklace. "Now she'll always remember me." He said happily and left the chambers of the study room.

Sesshomaru saw this and started to remember that. He then looked at his finger because of what he did so long back in the past. He wanted Kagome to remember him even though he didn't know her yet.

Suddenly, he was again engulfed by the blue light and sent to a different time, 6 years after the one he was in (now its 200 years ago). He saw that the necklace was gone. He walked out to the back of the castle to see the spot that he always was at when he felt bad. When he did he saw himself and Kagome who 4 years old. He walked closer to see that he was crying and Kagome was sitting next to him. He then was close enough to hear the conversation.

"I can't believe he's dead!" Sesshomaru cried out.
"It's okay Sesshy." Kagome said as she placed a hand on his shoulder and he pushed her away and she fell back.
"It's not okay! I have no father or mother! I don't have anything!" He cried more and noticed someone hugging him.
"You have me Sesshy; I know I'm not much help. But pushing and shouting at people will only make them want to leave you." She said as hugged him a little tighter.
"Then why haven't you left me Kag!" He shouted at her.
"Because I care bout you, I maybe little but I got a heart." She released him from her hug and he stopped crying a little.
"I know you do, but I miss him." He sniffled.
"I know Sesshy. But he would want you to have pride and not act like this." A tear fell from her eye and Sesshomaru saw it and he wiped her tear away. She didn't know she was crying and she was suddenly pulled into a hug by him.
"Thanks Kag." He said as she returned the hug.
"You're welcome Sesshy." She smiled. "I'm here for you." She said softly.

Sesshomaru now remembered it. How Kagome helped him through the times he need it when they were young. But when she left when her lands were taken over he couldn't take it anymore. No one ever talked to him except her and her father before he died. But when Kojestu died she disappeared he turned into the heartless demon people feared about him. But now with her back, it seems that he has found his heart and seemed to be happier like that, and he only noticed this… because she was back.

Sesshomaru went inside the castle because he had enough of this time. When he thought that he was again engulfed by a light and was finally returned to the present time. Sesshomaru saw Rin picking flowers happily.

"Hi Milord, look what mommy made Rin!" Rin showed him the necklace.
"That's nice Rin." He said softly still thinking. "Rin, do you know where mommy went?" He asked unwillingly.
"Nope, mommy jumped up there saying she would be back. Something wrong with mommy?" She asked a little worriedly.
"No, just keep playing here." He said and jumped into the room he and Kagome slept in.

He smelt salt water and so he knew she was crying. He couldn't smell the tears during that time dimension but now he could. He followed the scent of tears and found Kagome in bedroom that he had never been in before. She was on the side of the bed and Sesshomaru came in and closed the door behind him.

"Kagome?" He said questionably but she kept crying and didn't respond.

He sighed and walked up to the bed and placed his armor next to it and sat near Kagome but was about a foot away from her.

"I'm sorry… Kag." He called by the nickname he gave her many years ago. "I didn't mean to hurt you, I'm just…" He got lost in his words.
"Not use to it anymore." She said for him still crying.
"Yeah. I remember how you use to say I was cute all the time when we were young." He started.
"You use to blush all the time like earlier today." She looked up to him to see the softness in his eyes. He saw her eyes as if they were in misery.

Sesshomaru turned to her and hugged softly. Kagome tried to pull away because she was still sad. But he said that he was sorry again. She stopped trying to pull away and started to hug him back tightly and was crying in his chest as he was trying to soothe her by caressing her hair to make her calm. After a couple of minutes she stopped crying and looked up at him as he smiled.

"It's been so long… since… you smiled like that." She said finally.
"Thanks to you I have something to smile about." He said and was back into a small hug.

Sesshomaru stood up and helped Kagome up then he placed his armor back on. As they walked out they saw Shippo walking around and when he spot Kagome he charged at her and made her fall back.

"Can I have chocolate now? Can I, can I!" He said in a hyper tone.
"Okay, okay. It's in the room. Milord, how bout after I give him some chocolate, us 4 go on a walk?" She asked.
"I suppose." He raised an eyebrow and she just smiled at him.

Sesshomaru followed Kagome into the room and Kagome gave Shippo some chocolate and he was happy. He ate the chocolate and had a small piece left.

"Want it mommy? Shippo asked.
"Nope, you know dogs shouldn't eat it." She smiled and grabbed another bar (she had 9 after Shippo ate one) to give to Rin as she packed the rest away in the backpack she had. Kagome jumped into the garden with Shippo in arms and Sesshomaru jumped after her.

"Here Rin eat this, I bet you'll like it." Kagome smiled and gave it to her and she ate it.
"Wow its good! What's it called?" She asked.
"Chocolate." Shippo replied and Rin blinked.
"Mommy, whose he/she?" Shippo and Rin said at the same time.
"Rin, this is Shippo; Shippo, this is Rin." She replied.
"Is he brother?" Rin asked.
"Yeah, I guess you can say that, anyways Rin… Want to go on a walk now?" She asked patting her head.
"Yeah!" Rin shouted so loudly she hurt the three demons ears a little.

Shippo and Rin ran up ahead a little while Kagome and Sesshomaru kept a steady pace.

"Why are they so hyper?" Sesshomaru asked.

"It's because of the chocolate; it's sweet and has sugar, that's why I'm giving them a walk now." Kagome grinned.
"So they would have energy to go walking for a long time, interesting." He spoke as if he was amused.
"Yeah, that WAS the plan, but since their running it spoils it, anyway so where are we going to walk?" She asked him curiously.
"The East Lands to your castle." He said coldly.
"Really?" She asked and he nodded with a small smirk. "Thank you Sesshomaru!" She hugged him for about 10 seconds noticing what she just did.

'I shouldn't have really hugged him right then.'
'How come, you like him don't you?'
'Well yeah, but he's my best friend. It's not like I can love him or anything.'
'You can like him but not love him? But what if he loves you?'
'That's impossible, we're just friends. There's no way he could love me…'
'Then why did he try to comfort you when you were crying?'
'Because he made me cry.'
'Fine but… then why did he try to claim you?'

Kagome froze when her conscious said that. Sesshomaru kept walking and didn't notice that she stopped till he smelled her scent growing farther. He turned around and saw her standing as still as she could be; not moving an inch.

'Why isn't she moving?' He asked himself as he walked toward her.

She looked confused and nothing more. Shippo and Rin ran up to her. Sesshomaru, Rin, and Shippo were all looking at her curiously without saying a word to her. Rin jumped and waved her hands in front of her but it didn't do anything. Shippo jumped on top of her shoulder waving his hand in front of her. Sesshomaru notice she was in deep thinking; if he touched her face she would attack.

"Don't touch her." Sesshomaru said coldly.
"Why it's not like she's going to do anything to me." Shippo replied and jumped on her head and knocked on it.

Kagome instantly came out of daze and threw Shippo on the ground by instincts. She then looked at what she did. Shippo was rubbing was head whining about how much it hurt. Kagome bent down to him but he backed a little away still having the pain in his head. She didn't mean to hurt him.

"Sorry Shippo." She ran into the forest quickly.
"No wait mommy!" Shippo tried to reply holding his head tightly as he was rolled up into a ball but she was gone and Rin was starting to go after her.
"Don't Rin." Sesshomaru said as he started to walk into the forest. "Stay with the Kit." He ordered and she nodded in a sad way.

Sesshomaru found her in a tree and she closed up all the space she had to herself. He watched her for a few minutes and finally she spoke to him.

"I'm too dangerous for my own good." She said in a low voice. Sesshomaru had to strain his ears even.
"No your not, you were just in deep thoughts. I warned that kit not to touch you; but didn't listen. Is there something you want to talk about Kag?" He looked at her to see if she would answer him.
"Ye- er… no, there isn't." She shook her head no also.
"Come on then, let's go." He ordered.
"But what about Shippo?" She asked.
"What about him? He's probably over it by now. It wasn't your fault." He stated.
"Okay, but Sesshy?" She started to ask when she jumped down from the tree. "What if… I do something like that to Rin?" She lowered her head down from just thinking of if.
"You know she's a good listener. She listens to you as if you were her mother." He looked over his shoulder to her. "And listens to me as if I were her father." He explained and Kagome smiled a little. She walked up to be on his left side and they walked together to the two kids.
"You're the best Sesshy." She said in a happy tone.
"I only am… because of you." He stuttered on the truth that he spoke.
"Huh?" She was puzzled.
"You made me this way because of how much you cared. It's interesting how you are always concerned about others but…" He paused.
"But what Sessh?" She asked still a little puzzled and she felt her hand now being held by his hand.
"You're not concerned about our feelings for you. If you left the kit, how do you think he would feel?" He explained.
Kagome's eyes grew wide a little. "He would be sad… and… he would cry." She stopped for the moment. "It would be like… if I was dead… Shippo would hate it so much." She stated trying not to cry.
Sesshomaru bent down to whisper in her ear. "Then do you know how I felt when you were gone for so long?" He asked her.
"No… but you forgot about your past and about when we were little." She said glumly.
"I only forgot because you weren't there when you said I was." He raised his tone some.
"But Sessh! I didn't want to leave! I didn't!" She stated.
"You said you would be there for me, when I trusted you, you lied." He explained.
"I was forced away because of my lands being taken over. I've been back for a year now, just as a human. And… I know I wasn't much help for all those years… but I'm… I'm here now!" She stated loudly and he chose not to respond to that.
"Come on, let's go." Sesshomaru ordered her as he pulled her hand to go with him.

Kagome obeyed and held his hand slightly tighter and leaned her head against his shoulder; being careful of the armor he wore. Sesshomaru smiled inwardly.

Flashback

"Sesshy, want to go on a walk?" Kagome smiled looking up to the 10 year old Sesshomaru.
"Nah, go ahead." He declined.
"But…" Kagome slumped her little head. "Okay." She turned around and walked away slowly.

Two minutes later she felt someone next to her and they held her hand gently between them. Kagome looked up and saw Sesshomaru there with her. She smile and then leaned against him lightly as they walked around.

End Flashback

Kagome giggled a little but only by accident a little. Sesshomaru looked at her in a confused manner and she noticed that.

"Sorry, just that… it's been so long since we went on a walk like this." She leaned off Sesshomaru and just walked next to him.
"It has been over 150 years since we even met." He explained.
"I see; I'm just happy I remember everything now. My mom had erased my memory when I was 7 in human age. But when I returned to this world and saw you fight Inu…" She stopped talking at the very name of 'Inuyasha' of Sesshomaru sighed in the way of annoyance.
"Just forget about him, he's not one of us. He's just a half breed." He stated angrily.
"Yeah I know… but… never mind were back." She said as she saw two kids sitting on a small rock.

Rin and Shippo both smiled at them. Sesshomaru and Kagome were clueless why but they forgot that they were holding hands. They released each others hand immediately. Suddenly Shippo jumped over to Kagome and hopped in her arms and hugged her.

"I'm sorry I got you mad, I should have listened to Sesshomaru when he warned me." Shippo whined.
"It's okay Shippo, I'm sorry I attacked you." She replied and noticed that he was getting sleepy. She looked at Rin and she even started to yawn. "I think it's time for you guys to take a nap." She smiled.
Rin walked up to Kagome "Can mommy transform so Rin and Shippo can sleep?" She asked sweetly.
"Yeah can we?" Shippo asked with what energy he had left.
"I guess so as long as you don't pull on my fur hard." She stated and they nodded.

Kagome put Shippo down and transformed. She bent down and the two of them climbed onto her back and covered themselves with her long black fur. Sesshomaru didn't feel like transforming so he just walked by Kagome. And since they were both dog demon they could still talk only to the kids; Kagome would be light barking and possible growling while they could understand Sesshomaru. It didn't matter though because they walked in silence.

"Mommy I not tired, can I just stay up and watch where we're going? Wait, where are we going anyways!" Shippo asked a little panicky. Kagome didn't answer him so he laid on her head and she started to purr a little. It soothed Shippo and made a little sleepy. Sesshomaru knew that would work; it was basically a dog demon mothers' instinct to purr their child to sleep.

Sesshomaru started to remember when his mother purred him to sleep. She died when Sesshomaru was only a few years old and nothing more. He growled just thinking it. Kagome knew he was angry so she didn't want to bug him.
