Hey all, thanks for the reviews. Here is the next chapter. Remember I do not own Inuyasha, I just kidnapped some of the characters. They will be returned safely, I promise.
Chapter 20
Kagome walked back into the den all confused at what was told to her. Both her mother and Sesshoumaru had told her to look into her heart for the answer, but she didn't know what that what would do. She was still afraid that Sesshoumaru would do it again and she couldn't bear to go through all this a second time. She walked over to her bed and sat down and looked at her twins, how were lying on a small bed next to hers. Rin walked over to Kagome and sat next to her and hugged her. Kagome hugged her back and then kissed her head. Rin looked up at Kagome and said, "Oka-san, I miss otou-san." "I know you do. Maybe fate will let you see him again." Rin eyes were full of hope and Kagome couldn't help but smile at that.
Sesshoumaru followed Kagome sent into the forest and came to a large water fall. There was a heavy scent of salt water in the air and he knew she had cried heavily here. Sesshoumaru mentally cursed at himself and then stared at the waterfall. As he stared into the mist, he swore he saw a woman who resembled Kagome appear in the mist. The female youkai stepped out of the mist and walked across the water toward him. Sesshoumaru's hand went to the hilt of his sword, but the woman calmly said, "Calm yourself, Lord Sesshoumaru. I am not here to bring harm upon you. I am Lady Higurashi, Kagome's mother." Sesshoumaru relaxed and then said, "Why have you come to me?" "You must understand the situation Kagome is in right now. She is very confused about what she should do. She needs a little bit of time to sort out what has been said to her." Sesshoumaru nodded his head and then looked to the direction Kagome went.
Kagome decided she better begin dinner for her and Rin; so she went into the forest and picked some herbs and caught a small rabbit. She head back to the den, but felt like something was watching her. Kagome reached the den and began preparing a fire. Before she could get the fire started, a large oni came to the entrance of the cave. Kagome went over to Rin, Maruna, and Sesso and said, "Maruna, Sesso, danger." Both Maruna and Sesso put up a purple barrier that surrounded them and Rin. Kagome formed her purple bow and white arrows and headed toward the entrance to fight off the oni.
The oni saw Kagome come towards him and said, "Give me the Shikon No Tama bi…" Before he could finish, Kagome fired one of her arrows at the oni. The oni dodged the arrow and then reached out and grabbed Kagome around the waist and lifted her up. The oni began to tighten his grip and Kagome screamed in pain.
Sesshoumaru had turned his head back toward the water fall and saw that Lady Higurashi was gone. He began to think about what she had said to him when he heard a loud scream come from the direction Kagome had gone. He ran as fast as he could, following her scent, and prayed that he would get to her. He came to a large wolf den and in the entrance he saw a large blue oni standing there. He then saw that Kagome was beginning held in one of the oni's hands. Sesshoumaru unsheathed Tokijin and ran up and sliced the arm that held Kagome. The oni yelled in agony and then turned to face Sesshoumaru.
Kagome pried herself out of the now detached arm, cutting in the process. Unknown to her, in the claws of the oni was poison. Kagome turned and watched Sesshoumaru fight the oni that had come after her and the Jewel. Sesshoumaru had pushed the oni outside the cave and was able to perform his ultimate attack. Blue blades cut across the oni, causing it to disappear completely.
Sesshoumaru sheathed Tokijin and then slowly approached the den. He looked at Kagome for a few moments, but then turned and began to leave. As he headed toward the forest, he heard a soft, "Wait." Sesshoumaru turned around and saw Kagome was standing five feet from him. "Thank you, for saving my life." "I could never let any harm come to the one I love." Kagome smiled slightly, but then felt a bit dizzy and began to fall to the side. Sesshoumaru gasped and then ran to her and caught her before she hit the ground. Sweat began to form on her forehead and she began to shake a little bit. He looked her over and then saw that she had been cut on the right arm and it was a nasty purple color with green around the edges. 'She's been poisoned!'
Sesshoumaru picked Kagome up and rushed her inside the cave and laid her down on the bed he assumed was hers. "'What happened to her?"' Sesshoumaru looked at the one who spoke and said, '"She has been poisoned by the oni that attacked your den. I need to get the poison out quickly before it spreads too far."' The wolf nodded and then came up to Kagome and gently laid over her to hold her down because she knew that this would be painful. Sesshoumaru took her wounded arm and squeezed the wounded until yellowish-green poison began to flow out of it. Kagome screamed in pain and tried to struggle away, but Mira held her down. Luckily, Mira's sister had positioned themselves around the barrier that the twins had put up so that they could not see what was going on. That meant Rin couldn't see ether.
Sesshoumaru continued to squeeze the wound until finally the wound began to release red blood. "'I need water to flush it out."' He looked around and then saw a flask hanging on the wall and quickly grabbed it. He opened it and poured a little into his hand to make sure it was water. He then poured the contents onto the wound and saw the more poison came out as he flushed the wound. Once red blood began to flow, he stopped pouring the water. He then took his kimono sleeve and ripped it into a long sheet and began to wrap Kagome's wound. "'I think we got the poison out quick enough so as it will not cause her too much damage. She should recover within a few days."' Mira nodded and then slowly got off of Kagome. Sesshoumaru stayed by her side as she slept and then brushed a strand of hair that had fallen in her face.
An hour went by and Kagome still slept. Sesshoumaru stayed by her, but then a familiar scent came to his nose and he turned around to see Rin sitting next to two small infants. "Rin?" Rin looked up from the twins and gasped when she saw Sesshoumaru sitting next to Kagome. "Oji-san? Oji-san!" Rin ran toward Sesshoumaru and launched herself into his arms. "Oka-san said I would see you again." "Rin, I have missed you." Rin stayed in Sesshoumaru's arms for a bit, but then she got up and said, "I have to go back a watch my brother and sister." Rin was about to head over to Sesso and Maruna when Sesshoumaru said, "Who are your siblings?" Rin looked back at him, then at Kagome, and then to Sesshoumaru again and said, "Come with me Oji-san." Sesshoumaru stood up and followed Rin to where the infants were.
When he got to them, he was shock to see the two infants staring back him. The boy looked exactly like he did, the golden eyes and silver hair. His eyes were not all gold, mix in was a little bit of Kagome's silver eyes. The girl, on the other hand, looked like Kagome with the dark brown hair and silver eyes with a little bit of gold mixed in. The thing that shocked him the most were the markings on each of their faces. Both had on each cheek two stripes, one was maroon and the other was gold. They also had on their forehead a circle, one half was of a navy blue crescent moon and the other half was a golden sun. These were his pups.
Well I hope you liked this chapter. Next one up as soon as I type it. Review.
