Chapter7

/Dog talk\\ "Regular talk" 'Thinking talk' (Me talking)

Morning hit above the mountains and shined on the Inuyasha gang. As they all woke up they headed to the eastern castle as planned.

At the west castle, Jaken was going crazy looking for everyone but they all left and that made him crazier.

When the sun hit on the east castle Sesshomaru woke up. Kagome was still sleeping but she was still alert. Rin woke up from the sunlight and went into Shippo's room seeing how the sun wouldn't hit his room. Rin woke Shippo up and he jolted up; usually Kagome would let him sleep as long as he wanted.

Sesshomaru cracked his stiff bones softly so he would wake up Kagome. When he stood up his stomach started to hurt but not much, he growled at the small pain that he had in his head (headache) and accidentally woke Kagome. He mentally kicked himself for that.

"Something wrong Sessh?" Kagome asked him as she sat up and stretched.
"No, just a pain in my stomach and my head pounds a little." He stated coldly.
"Hmph, don't need to be cranky. Be right back." She got up from the bed and went to her backpack to get something and hand them to Sesshomaru.
"What are these?" He sniffed them.
"Their Advil" She replied and he raised an eyebrow. "Um… Also known as pain killers, they should help." She explained.
"Very well." He replied walking to a different room for water.

Kagome smiled happily that he listened. All of a sudden she heard running to the door. It opened widely and two young kids tackled her to the bed saying "Morning!" and "Where's Lord Sesshomaru?" as they laughed about. Kagome laughed and said good morning to them and was about to tell them where Sesshomaru was but then he came in the room and said "I'm right here." In his cold tone.

"Yay, Lord Sesshomaru not wearing armor!" Rin shouted and ran to him and hugged his leg.
"Good morning Rin." He patted her head.
"Morning Lord Sesshomaru!" She said happily.
"Good morning Shippo." He also said but was a little reluctant on saying his name.
"Good morning sir." Shippo replied in a somewhat scared voice and Kagome giggled.
"You two are funny… Shippo, how bout you and Rin go outside and play, you can watch for Miroku and the others to come." She suggested.
"Okay!" Shippo and Rin both shouted then hugged Kagome and ran downstairs to go outside.
"They like to play." Sesshomaru said as he heard the door close downstairs. "Is it safe for them to go outside?" He asked.
"Their kids, of course they like to play. And yes it's safe for them, I put a barrier around the castle when I fixed, and before you got mad at me last night." She mumbled the last part.
"Then don't get me worried." He said coldly.

They stayed in silence for a few minutes. Kagome then looked toward the window reminding her of the dream.

"Sesshy, were you bitten by a snake before?" She asked nicely.
"Yes, on my stomach." He replied as he walked near the bed but didn't sit down because he was behind Kagome and she was at the edge of the bed.
"When have you been bitten?" She asked again.
"You of all people should know, it was when you were being foolish and almost got attacked, I went in front of you so you wouldn't get hurt." He told her.
"It was that very last day… that I worried you about losing me." She stated but was incorrect.
"No, when you left me alone with no one else was what worried me." He corrected her.

She sighed and lowered her head. He put his hand on her shoulder for support. Sesshomaru then thought of an idea.

"Remember what we use to do in the morning before breakfast when I was over here?" He asked her.
"Yeah, we would go in that room and practice fighting." She stated and he nodded.
"Let's see who's stronger in the dojo." He said sternly.
"No." She answered.
"Why not?" He asked.
"I would win." She stated and he growled angrily but she showed no fear when he looked at him when she turned around.
"Prove it." He ordered and she sighed.

She leaned against his stomach and that was proof enough for her. She turned around and said "you hurt right here" and touched him lightly on his stomach with her hand and he almost winced.

"I see." He said. "I shall challenge you later." He said as he walked through the door.
"Sesshomaru." She said in a serious tone and he stopped in place in the hall. "Do you feel okay?" She asked popping her head out the window.
"I'm not a weakling." He replied.

Suddenly Sesshomaru and Kagome's ears twitched then they smelt the air. Sesshomaru walked passed her into the room and placed his armor back on. Kagome rolled her eyes and giggled seeing how he didn't want her friends to see him without armor. It would ruin his tough act that he has.

"MIROKU DON'T COME ANY CLOSER LET ME GET KAGOME!" Shippo tried to warn him but was too late.
ZAP!
"You should've listened to him." Sango sighed. "Shippo, we were worried about you. Anyways, go get Kagome and tell her we're here." She smiled.
"I'm here, come on over I let the barrier fall for you guys." She then turned away to lead them. Suddenly Inuyasha jumped at her from behind and pinned her to the ground.

"YOU STUPID WENCH, FIX MY FANG!" Inuyasha yelled at her.
"Inuyasha, get off her!" Shippo, Miroku, and Sango shouted. Kikyou just watched and Kirara couldn't really do anything about it. Rin was scared.
"Lord Sesshomaru!" Rin shouted.

Seconds later Sesshomaru came and saw this. He narrowed his eyes and charged at Inuyasha off of Kagome and started to strangled him. Kagome saw this and rubbed her neck. She got up and watched for a second as everyone asked if she was okay. She said yes and asked Sesshomaru to place Inuyasha down but he didn't listen.

"He's a half breed Princess, nothing more or less. He tried to kill you" He said with a smirk they did not see. (Forgot to tell you… Sesshomaru calls Kagome princess when around others who aren't in a high rank as them. Kagome did the same as she now remembered.) "Further more, he should be dead already." Sesshomaru gripped Inuyasha's throat harder.

"I don't care, these are my lands. I will ask you one more time, please put him down." She said in a stern voice that turned gentler. Sesshomaru growled at the fact he actually had to listen.
"Fine." He said angrily and released Inuyasha reluctantly.

"Inuyasha, leave with you're dirt. I grow tired of seeing her let alone smelling her." Kagome said.

Instantly Inuyasha punched half brother in the stomach when he was off guard. Sesshomaru knelt down to a knee. Kagome got a little scared and accidentally lost control of herself and her eyes glowed red. Instantly she ran toward Inuyasha and socked him under the chin and made him fall behind the barrier leaving Kikyou inside though. Kagome looked at Kikyou then at Inuyasha with a smirk. Inuyasha looked terrified of thinking what she would do. Kagome extended her claws an inch and was going to kill (in a way) her but a little voice stopped her.

"Mommy is Lord Sesshomaru going to be okay?" Rin asked.
"Yes." Kagome replied and just tossed Kikyou out of the barrier. "Stay away from my castle." She told the two.

"Let us help you Lord Sesshomaru." Miroku lend a hand out to him.
"I don't need help." Sesshomaru said as he stood and wobbled for a minute.

Kagome sighed. "Honestly Lord Sesshomaru you're getting on my nerve doing this." She said as she helped him up and made him lean on her. "Um, Rin Shippo, take them to the castle, we'll come shortly." She said as she jumped on to the castle and made him go through the window. He walked to the bed and sat on it. Kagome walked toward him and put a hand to his face.

"You have a slight fever." She said as she went to her bag to get a washcloth and noticed a chocolate bar missing. "Sesshy…" She had a certain tone to how she said it. "You didn't have a chocolate bar by any chance did you?" She asked him.
"And what if I did?" he growled and she sighed.
"Ses-sho-ma-ru…" She whined. "You aren't supposed to eat chocolate, that's why you're like this." She said as she went into the other room to get the cloth wet.
"Rin and your pup ate some." He stated when she was walking back in the room.
"Their not dog demons like us." She sighed. "I'm going to remove your armor because you're staying in here till you feel better." She said and he started to growl.
"I'll be fine." He said angrily. "I am not weak." He said and it annoyed Kagome.
"Stop the tough act please?" She asked as she begin to remove his armor again but he growled.

'I hope this works.' Kagome thought as she stopped and brought her face near his and kissed him softly on the side of his face. "Now will you stop being a butthead and allow me to remove your armor?" She asked; he was a bit shocked that he kissed her but didn't show it and so she removed the armor from him and made him lay down. He obeyed her; half of him listened to her, the other didn't, but his body did. She placed the cloth on his forehead and used her powers to block the sunlight the shined through the window. "Now get some rest because you need it and that's an order. If you need anything just shout for me." She said and he nodded as he growled. "Thanks for listening to me." She cupped his cheek for a second and again traced the marking on his face as she did before.

As she started to walk out she asked him if he wanted anything to eat. He growled loudly just thinking of it. She nodded as she figured he didn't want to here anything about food. She closed the door and left Sesshomaru to his sleeping.

"Kagome it's so nice to see you." Sango hugged her.
"It's nice to see you guys to. I missed you." She hugged Kagome back.
"Ah, Lady Kagome, you seem to be at your happiest." Miroku was gong to hug her but then decided that she didn't want to be hugged by him.
"Of course I am; I get to see you guys." She hugged him to and he tried not be perverted.

Kagome then picked up Kirara and gave her a hug also. "I suppose everyone here is hungry." She technically asked and everyone nodded. She took them to the dinning room and they were amazed. It was the only room that was so decorative. There were paintings. On the west side was a white dog demon, on the east side a black dog demon, on the north was a panther demon, and on the south was a cat demon.

"I know, these are old paintings, but they do seem nice still." Kagome said. "Sit down and I'll make some breakfast." She said but then she remembered that her bag was in the room that Sesshomaru was in. She walked up stairs and grabbed her backpack quietly and saw that Sesshomaru was faking his sleep, she growled lowly to let him know the she knew he was faking it.

"Here you go guys, eat up." Kagome said.

She brought out some rice balls, ramen soup, and some fish for them. They all smiled and started eating. After a while Kagome kept so she could pinpoint Sesshomaru upstairs to see if he was trying to go to sleep.

"Kagome, aren't you going to eat?" Sango asked.
"Huh? Oh… no, its okay, I'm not hungry." Kagome replied.
"Last time you ate was three days ago wasn't it mommy?" Rin asked.
"Yeah, but demons don't need to eat all the time." She patted Rin's head.
"Then why does Shippo eat all the time?" Miroku questioned.
"Because I'm a pup, you guys should know that by now." Shippo said cheerfully.

"Princess Kagome!" A voice came from outside. "Release your barrier please?" It said.

Kagome pondered for a moment and released her barrier because she was prepared for attack. Suddenly the door went wide open and a little kid flew at her and knocked her down. It was another black dog demon. Everyone just looked at her and the kid confusedly. Sesshomaru came down stairs with his armor on to seem the commotion.

"Reyna? Is that you?" Kagome asked.
"What you can't recognize your own cousin yet? She stayed with the south." Sesshomaru replied.

Reyna saw him and smiled. "Hi Prince Sesshomaru!" Reyna shouted and got off Kagome.

Reyna was going to jump at Sesshomaru but Kagome caught her by the neck. "What are you doing here?" Kagome asked.
"Well, the flea Myouga came to the south and told me you were back and he also told the Lord and Lady there too. They decided to have a party in the return of the princess of the east. They are inviting the Lord and Lady from the north too. And Prince Sesshomaru, you get to go too because you're the lord of your lands." Reyna explained.
"When will this take place?" Sesshomaru asked.
"The night of the full moon, as it were any party to attend." Reyna smiled.
"Figures." Sesshomaru replied and he looked at Kagome to see a slight angry face.

"Get up there now." She said in an annoyed tone. "If you don't then I won't challenge you." She huffed.
"Heh." He walked toward her and began to whisper in her ear. "If you don't challenge me tonight I will kill the monk because he touched what wasn't his." He said and she knew what he meant. (He's saying that Miroku touched Kagome and she isn't his to touch) She started to blush slightly as Reyna giggled because she could slightly here.
"Hmph, no you won't, now go before I have to make you." She stated getting a little bit angry.

Sesshomaru glared at her for a while as she glared at him back. He did a small snort as he gave up. As he was walking upstairs he barked saying /If he touches you again I'm going to kill him.\\ He stated.
/I let him! It has been a while, besides you let Sango hug me! \\ Kagome stated.
/The monk is a male Kagome! \\ He said angrily. /I'm returning to the chamber so we can fight tonight.\\ He said and to the room.

Kagome sighed because she was now defeated. Reyna was giggling and pounce on Kagome. (Reyna is between the size of Rin and Shippo) Shippo started to giggle too.

"Hehe Princess Kagome." Reyna started. "She gets in trouble. She…" Kagome clamped Reyna's mouth and set her down.
"Be quiet, after all these years you're still a pest." She mumbled.
"Don't you think you should warn him mommy? He will get killed if you don't." Shippo asked.

Everyone who was eating stopped and pondered at who 'he' was. Kagome just sighed for a minute and released Reyna.

"What's Shippo talking about Kagome?" Sango asked.
"Well uh… Miroku and I aren't allowed to hug anymore, he can't really touch me but in ways I can touch him." Kagome explained.
"Ah… So what part would you touch Lady Kagome." He said in a perverted tone.

/Kagome!\\ Sesshomaru barked loudly while Kagome, Reyna, and Shippo flinched at his angry voice.
/He's just kidding! I hope…\\ Kagome replied.

Shippo giggled and Reyna laughed her head off. Kagome glared at Reyna and she shut up really quickly. Shippo stopped giggling also so she wouldn't glare at him.

"Shippo… what did they say?" Miroku asked nervously.
"Uh… nothing really to talk about. Just don't saying anything about Kagome, if you're going to think perverted that is.
"Were they just fighting right now or something?" Sango asked.
"Yup! But they always fight, like when they were little kids." Reyna popped next to Sango.

"Is that true mommy? Do you and Lord Sesshomaru fight a lot?" Rin asked.
"We are usually just fooling around…" Kagome smiled.

Rin smiled warmly at Kagome.

"So Kagome… why is Sesshomaru here anyways?" Sango asked.
"Well… we just decided to come here; he probably came here because Rin wanted to come also." Kagome shrugged.
"That's not the whole truth." Reyna said. "The reason why he's here is because…" She was stopped.
/Reyna, that's enough! \\ Sesshomaru shouted. /These humans don't need to know anything! \\ He yelled.
/Why does it have to be a secret that Kaggy (Kagome's nickname from Reyna) is going to be your mate! \\ Reyna asked.
/Humans are stupid creatures.\\ He replied.
/So your saying Rin is a stupid creature!\\ Kagome butted in.
/She lives with me and so she learns not to be as stupid as them.\\ He stated.
/A human is no different as any other human, they have they same knowledge as us! \\ Kagome yelled.
/Then go back to being a human! \\ He shouted and accidentally realized what he said.

Shippo and Reyna froze and looked at Kagome. She looked broke and possibly confused. For being told to turn into a human was pretty bad, demons are all powerful and to turn into a human with no abilities would turn them into a weakling. In other words Sesshomaru insulted Kagome pretty badly. Kagome lead one tear fall and just ran out of the castle. Sesshomaru cursed at himself for doing that. Shippo and Reyna still frozen at that but were broken out of it. Sango, Rin, Miroku were confused. To their surprise, Kirara was sleeping from so much barking.

"That was low Lord Sesshomaru! Even for a guy like you!" Reyna shouted and ran out to find Kagome. Sesshomaru didn't even answer and actually went to sleep from all this.

"Shippo… why did mommy run away?" Rin asked him.
"Sesshomaru insulted her pretty badly." Shippo answered. "Don't worry about it." He said like an older brother would.
"Miroku lets go find her." Sango said.
"I suggest you don't." A small voice said.
"Huh, Myouga? When did you get here?" Sango asked.
"Reyna took me here without knowing it." Myouga replied.
"So why should we not go look for Lady Kagome?" Miroku asked.
"They always tend to fight like Inuyasha and Kagome did. Seeing how Lord Sesshomaru told Lady Kagome off, it would be best to leave it to either him, Shippo, or Reyna. Reyna may seem to be childish but she understands Kagome as much as Sesshomaru does." Myouga explained.
"Why leave it to Sesshomaru?" Miroku asked.
"Maybe Lord Sesshomaru likes mommy?" Rin suggested.
"Yeah right, him… likes Kagome?" Sango asked and looked at Miroku and they tried not to laugh. Myouga Rin and Shippo looked at them, curious on why their laughing.

"It's true Sango." Myouga said sternly and Sango turned pale. "When Lord Sesshomaru and Lady Kagome were young he asked for Lady Kagome to be his mate. Their fathers agreed and said that he may when she is sixteen in human years." Myouga explained.
"He said not to tell them Myouga." Shippo said in a bored tone and played with his ramen.
"Yes I know. Anyways, do you plan on staying the night here?" Myouga asked the two humans.
"I don't know if it's wise for us to be here." Miroku said.
"I'm not surprised; you're the one who started it." Shippo mumbled.
"Lord Sesshomaru is nice. You should've noticed that they like each other. Can't you tell when they fight? Mommy sometimes wins, and Lord Sesshomaru sometimes wins. They take turns." Rin smiled.
"Does that mean they sleep in the same room?" Miroku teased and started to laugh as did Sango and again the three didn't laugh. "Uh… so uh." Miroku was getting more nervous.
"Lord Sesshomaru said that he wanted to sleep in a comfortable bed and so he slept in the same bed as mommy." Rin replied.
"It's how it starts. The male makes the moves and claims what is what, the female on the other hand makes less moves and cannot choose many things. Lord Sesshomaru sleeps in the same bed as Lady Kagome which is making a move. He proved already that he is dominant because Lady Kagome hugged Miroku and got him angry." Myouga explained.
"Yeah, if he does it again he's a dead man." Shippo and Rin laughed and now Miroku went pale.

"Kaggy!" Reyna shouted as she looked for her. "Kaggy!" She shouted and again no reply.

After three hours of searching for her, Reyna started to give up. She suddenly heard clashing and fighting. She immediately ran toward the noise and found Kagome fighting with the half demon Naraku. Reyna looked at both of them seeing them looking a bit tired and both having severe cut wounds. Reyna saw something move quickly in the sky and it looked like a huge bird feather with a woman on it with something that looked like a ghost but was really a little girl. Without noticing it Kagome fell to her knees and Naraku smirked and turned his back toward her. Reyna had no choice but to get the others. She wasn't that strong to help Kagome and she knew that if she hurried back Kagome might live.

"Kagura, finish her off." He said and looked back at Kagome. "It's time for this princess to die." He started to laugh malevolently.

Kagura did her 'dance of blades' on Kagome. Kagome was still alive though. Her eyes grew red and glared at the one who attacked her and jumped to attack her. Kagome missed and hit Kanna instead and destroyed her. She tired to shake her head out of that demonic state to get a better grip on herself and glared at Naraku as he laughed at what she just did.

"You monster, you laugh as your incarnation falls to death?" She asked.
"Well… it seems you have some fight left in you now don't you?" Naraku asked and he walk closely to her. He picked her up and pinned her to a tree to hold her up. "I know humiliate you my Princess… lets cut your clothing and cover you in blood… that sounds fun doesn't it?" He asked and she spitted in his face.

He slapped her and she winced at the pain. He began to then tear her clothing in pieces. "Kagura, go say hello to that young one that passed by and return here." He ordered her.

After five hours of sleeping, Sesshomaru felt a lot better and didn't feel sick anymore. He was happy that he was a demon or else it would take a lot longer for him. He walked downstairs and remembered how Kagome was mad at him and was going to apologize to her. He went into the dinning room and saw no one in there and went into the room next to it were people enter the door and stay in that room (Like a living/family room).

He saw Rin play with Shippo while Sango and Miroku watched them. He looked around and didn't see Reyna or Kagome.

"Where are Reyna and Princess Kagome?" He asked coldly.
"Kagome left about 5 or 6 hours ago. Reyna left 15 minutes after her to find her." Sango replied.
/She's upset\\ Shippo said as he stopped playing with Rin for the minute.

Rin walked up to Sesshomaru and asked him a question. "Why did mommy look so upset Lord Sesshomaru, mommy started to cry."
"Don't worry about it Rin, go play with Shippo." He replied as he patted her head.

Suddenly the castle doors open quickly and Reyna used the door frame. She was tired and had a cut on her shoulder.

/Sesshomaru… I found Kagome fighting… with Naraku… she's badly injured.\\ Reyna said as she tried to catch her breath.

Sesshomaru eyes were filled with fear as they grew wide… he asked Reyna what way Kagome went and when she pointed toward the direction he ran off.

"Reyna what happened." Sango asked as she brought her in.
"I was attacked by a woman on a feather." Reyna said and passed out.
