Chapter 10
Ayame Is Saved
It was early in the morning when Sesshomaru woke up to hear someone crying. 'Kagome?' Sesshomaru thought thinking it was her. He opened his eyes and looked to see Kagome was sleeping peacefully no signs of ever crying. Sesshomaru careful removed himself from Kagome and sat up. Sesshomaru covered Kagome with the blankets making sure she was warm before climbing out of bed.
He followed the scent of salt to Rin's room and opened the door. 'She's having a nightmare' Sesshomaru thought walking towards her and kneeling beside her bed. "Rin" Sesshomaru whispered putting his hand on her arm. "Rin" Sesshomaru whispered a little louder shaking her gently back and forth. "Mommy, daddy no" Rin whimpered beginning to toss and turn.
"Rin" Sesshomaru said trying one last time.
Since Rin wasn't going to wake up Sesshomaru sat on her bed. He picked her up and held her in his arms. He rocked her back and forth whispering sweet words into her ear. Rin somewhat calmed down and relaxed in Sesshomaru's arms. Sesshomaru smiled and tried to lay her back down on her bed but she wouldn't let go. He tried to pry her off him again but she whimpered tightening her hold on him.
Sesshomaru sighed and took her blanket with him. He sat in a chair with Rin still in his arms and laid the blanket on top of her. Rin sighed and stopped crying snuggling into his warmth. Sesshomaru smiled running his hand through her hair. He stayed like that for while watching her sleep. Kagome woke up to find Sesshomaru missing and that she was hugging a pillow.
Kagome blushed pushing the pillow away and tossed the blankets aside. She yawned before getting out of bed she looked at the clock and decided to get a start on making breakfast. She was walking down the hallway when she thought she saw something. She slowly walked backwards to Rin's room to see Sesshomaru sitting in a chair with Rin in his arms.
"Good morning Sesshomaru" Kagome whispered getting his attention.
"Good morning Kagome" Sesshomaru whispered not wanting to wake up Rin. "What happened?" Kagome asked standing behind him and placing a kiss on his cheek. "I heard someone crying and woke up I thought it was you but it turned out to be Rin. She was having a nightmare and I couldn't wake her up. So I picked her up and held her until she calmed down and stopped crying. But when I tried to put her back to into her bed she wouldn't let go of me.
So here I am" Sesshomaru said.
"That's so sweet of you" Kagome said backing up when he was getting up. "She was calling out for her mom and dad" Sesshomaru said finally able to detached Rin from him. "She must have been through a lot I just wish she would tell me what happened. So I can do something at least" Sesshomaru said tucking Rin in bed and brushing a few strands of hair that fell on her face.
"Come on Sesshomaru come get some coffee with me. Just wait Rin will talk to you maybe even today she likes you I can tell. If she had to trust somebody that somebody would be you" Kagome said taking his hand and pulling him towards the door. "I guess so and coffee sounds good" Sesshomaru said following her to kitchen.
"I'll make some right now" Kagome said getting started on making the coffee.
"You do know that since we didn't train yesterday I'm going to have to train you twice as hard today" Sesshomaru said watching her make the coffee. "I was hoping you would forget or least take it easy on me" Kagome said flashing him a quick smile.
"Kagome, I want you to understand why I train you so hard. I train you so hard because I want you to be able to fight against anyone excluding Naraku. I'm sure eventually you're going to have to fight against him. He won't let you go so easily and if that means he has to hurt you he will. And I don't want that to happen I want you to be able to fight him and beat him.
I know you didn't run away and work this hard just to go back to him without a fight. And I want to help you with that" Sesshomaru said.
"I understand and I'm grateful for you training me. It means a lot to me you've done so much for me I just wish I could make it up to you" Kagome said sitting across fromhim and taking his hand. "But you have, I have you" Sesshomaru said kissing her hand before leaning in to kiss her on the lips. Kagome cupped his cheek and kissed him back making the kiss more passionate.
They continued kissing until the coffee maker went off telling them that it was done. "I should get that" Kagome said blushing and breaking the kiss. "Yes, you should" Sesshomaru said trying to get rid of the thought of throwing Kagome down to the floor and making love to her there. "Here you go" Kagome said handing him a nice hot cup of coffee.
"Thank you" Sesshomaru said making sure not to touch her when he took the coffee from her.
"Sesshomaru are you ok?" Kagome asked starting to get a little worried by the way he was acting. "Yes, I just need to cool off a little bit" Sesshomaru said taking a sip of his coffee. "Well, then maybe you should have some tea" Kagome was saying when Sesshomaru gave her a funny look. "Oh" Kagome said as it dawned on her what he was talking about.
"Well, we can do that later I wouldn't mind now but we've got a little visitor" Kagome said pointing at whoever was behind him.
Sesshomaru raised his eyebrow at her before turning around to see Rin standing there. "Good morning Rin are you feeling better now?" Sesshomaru asked. Rin nodded her head yes. "You were crying in you're sleep and calling out for you're mom and dad. I was worried and I just want to make sure you're ok now and if you need someone to talk to.
You can talk to me or Kagome" Sesshomaru said.
Rin started to cry and dove into Sesshomaru's chest. Sesshomaru hugged her shocked before looking up at Kagome. Kagome just smiled and mouthed to him that she would get started on making breakfast. Sesshomaru nodded before looking back down at Rin. He rubbed her back trying to calm her down whispering sweet words like he did before.
"That mean man killed my parents" Rin sobbed that Sesshomaru almost didn't hear her.
"Rin calm down please I can't understand you. What did you say?" Sesshomaru asked. Rin's crying quieted down but she held onto him even tighter. "That mean man had my parents killed" Rin said her crying turning into hiccups. "Rin look at me please look at me" Sesshomaru said gently taking a hold on her chin to make her look up at him.
"Who Rin who is the mean man that had you're parents killed? What is his name?" Sesshomaru asked wiping away her tears.
"Naraku" Rin said making Kagome drop the plates she was carrying.
Kouga was getting a drink in a nearby river in the forest. When he sensed that somesome was coming and he hid waiting until the person get closer. He crouched staying low to ground as the person passed by. 'Onigumo I knew that scent smelt familiar but what is he doing here? Is he looking for me?' Kouga wondered keeping an eye on him.
'Where's that wolf? I know he's here his scent is still fresh' Onigumo thought looking around.
"What are you doing here? What do you want?" Kouga asked coming out from behind the bushes but keeping a safe distance away from Onigumo. "I came to talk to about the girl wolf Ayame" Onigumo said turning around and looking Kouga straight in the eyes. "What about Ayame?" Kouga asked fear slowly making its way up his spine.
"Naraku has her. He caught her snooping in his office" Onigumo said with no emotions on his face.
'It's my fault Ayame was caught and captured by Naraku. I asked her to help me. How could I have been so stupid to leave her all alone at Naraku's. Who knows what he could be doing to her. I can't just leave her there in his hands. I have to save her somehow but how?' Kouga thought getting overwhelmed by guilt. "Where is he keeping her?" Kouga asked.
"At his house in a underground dungeon, but you won't be able to save her without some help from me" Onigumo said.
"And why not?" Kouga asked not knowing if he should trust Onigumo or not. "Because he'll have a spell on the place that's how Ayame got caught. She broke the spell to his office, you wouldn't want to make the same mistake she did. So you're going to need my help I can cast a time freezing spell. But it can only last about five minutes so you have to be quick about it" Onigumo said.
"Ok but one question why are you helping me?" Kouga asked realizing that he and Onigumo would have to work together in order to save Ayame from Naraku. "I have my reasons but let's just say someone effected me in ways I never thought possible" Onigumo said.
'Kagome' Kouga thought knowing it had to be her.
Kagome dropped the plates she was carrying after she Rin heard say Naraku. 'Naraku' Kagome thought with a shiver. 'It was Naraku that killed this little girls parents. How could he? How can he be so cold? Doesn't he have a heart? Would he do the same to me? Would he threaten to kill my family if I don't go back to him? How could I have been so stupid to ever fall in love with a man like that?' Kagome thought getting overwhelmed by all her feelings in her heart.
Rin screamed because of the loud crash and held onto Sesshomaru crying harder then before. Sesshomaru was busy both trying to calm Rin down and to see if Kagome was all right. InuYasha and Shippo quickly ran out of there rooms prepared to fight and asking a lot of questions. Kagome grabbed her chest trying to stop the frantic beatings of heart.
Shepanted in short breaths not getting enough oxygen to her lungs.
Herhead started to pound as she gripped the counter trying to stay up. Sesshomaru knew Kagome was going to pass out in any moment but he couldn't move, because he was still holding Rin. InuYasha and Shippo came in yelling asking questions adding more to the chaos in the room. "What the hell is going on?" InuYasha yelled making Rin cry even louder.
Sesshomaru wasn't sure on how much more he could take with all noise. Kagome was going into shock and on the verge of collapsing on the floor. InuYasha and Shippo were yelling and asking questions by the mile and Rin was crying like crazy. It took Sesshomaru all his will power not to just transform and snap at them. "InuYasha shut up and help Kagome she's going to faint in any moment now!" Sesshomaru shouted getting his attention.
InuYasha was about to yell at Sesshomaru for yelling at him. When he heard what he said and looked over at Kagome, who was looking pale and about to faint. Kagome started to feel lightheaded and welcomed the darkness as she fell to the ground. Using his demon speed InuYasha quickly caught Kagome before she could hit the floor.
Shippo stopped yelling and looked wide eyed as he saw InuYasha catch Kagome.
"InuYasha take Kagome to her room so she can rest. Shippo leave Kagome alone for now she's fine. She's just in shock and needs time to rest" Sesshomaru said before turning his attention onto Rin. "Rin please calm down you're safe, I won't let anyone hurt you. Stop crying please and tell me happened I won't let Naraku or anybody else hurt you.
That's a promise" Sesshomaru said wiping her tears.
Rin wiped her face with the shirt she was wearing and looked up at Sesshomaru. "Yes," Rin said and she started to tell Sesshomaru what happened the day Naraku killed her parents.
Flashback
'Today's my birthday' Rin thought happily picking every flower in sight in front of her home. She was happily humming herself a tune when she heard her mom calling for her. "Coming mommy!" Rin yelled grabbing some more flowers before rushing home. "Mommy look I picked all these pretty flowers for you to put in the vase" Rin said cheerily holding out the flowers to her.
"There lovely Rin I'm sure they'll brighten up the room where ever I decided to put them" Rin's mother said smiling and ruffling her hair. Rin's mother was a spitting image of Rin but much older and mature. "Come Rin me and you're father have something for you" Rin's mother said taking her hand and leading her into the living room.
"Happy birthday Rin" Rin's father said giving her big hug.
"Daddy" Rin said smiling as she hugged him back. Rin's father was tall and big man with long black hair and caring big brown eyes. He was strong but gentle when around his family. He put Rin back on the floor and kneeled down onto his knee. "Rin, me and mother got you a birthday present" Rin's father said handing her a little black box.
"What is it?" Rin squealed jumping up and down.
"Open it we hope you like it" Rin's father said standing up next to her mother and laying his arm around her waist. Rin opened it and screamed with happiness. "I love it. Can I wear it now?" Rin asked pulling out a golden necklace made out in her name. "Yes, Rin just be careful not to lose it" Rin's mother said helping Rin put on her necklace.
Rin looked at her necklace after it was put on and smiled a big smile.
"I love it thank you mommy" Rin said hugging her mom before hugging her dad. "Thank you daddy" Rin said before running out the front door to pick more flowers. "Rin remember to stay in the yard!" Rin's mother yelled after her smiling at how happy Rin was. Rin was picking more flowers by the side of house when she saw a couple men walking towards the house.
They were all demons and shady looking as they made there way closer to the house.
Rin quickly ran inside knowing that the demons approaching were dangerous. "Mommy, daddy there's some demons coming!" Rin yelled once she was in house and closed the door. "What? Rin are you sure?" Rin's mother asked withfear in her eyes. "Yes, there's three them" Rin said hugging tightly to her mom's leg. "Honey there here!" Rin's mother yelled taking Rin's hand rushing her out the back door.
"Now? I didn't think they would come on Rin's birthday" Rin's father coming out the back door. "Mommy, daddy what's going on?" Rin asked scared looking back and forth at her mom and dad. Rin's father sighed and picked her up. "Rin I need you to listen to me and do exactly as I say. I need to you run away far from here don't look back.
Just go as far as you can we'll come and find you later ok?" Rin's father asked.
"But daddy, mommy" Rin said starting to cry. "Please Rin this is already hard on us as it is. Please just do as I said just run we'll come for you later. We just want you to be safe" Rin's father said hugging her and kissing her on the cheek before putting her back down on the ground. "We'll come for you soon" Rin's mother said giving Rin a hug and kiss.
Rin's mom and dad hug each other crying as they watched Rin run away before going back into the house.
Once Rin saw her mom and dad go inside. She ran back and hid behind some bushes. She saw how her mom and dad went to meet the demons and moved closer to hear what they were talking. "Times up do you have the money or not?" the tallest demon asked glaring. "Can't Naraku give us some time? Please just a few more days we have most of the money, we just a day or two please" Rin's mother begged.
"If you can't pay up then you must pay with you're lives" the demon said. All the demons grinned and cracked their knuckles ready to kill. "But please what about our daughter? She'll be alone" Rin's mother begged tears running down her face. "Where is the brat anyway? Naraku ordred us to kill her along with you. Any last requests before you die?
Times up" the demon said attacking with his claws.
"Stay back" Rin's father ordered pushing Rin's mother back. Rin's father was able to keep the demons back away from his wife. He hit them with all he had but no matter what they came back for more. So he grabbed two of them and slammed them together, before throwing them at the other demon. Who was just getting up the demons slowly stood up glared at Rin's dad.
They all looked at each other and smirked coming up with a plan. The lead demon nodded giving them a signal and they all attacked at once. Rin's father tried to fight as much a he could but the demons over powered him hitting him all at once. Rin's mother screamed as the demons were about to finish him off. "Renui" Rin's father whispered before one of the demons sliced his throat.
"No, Karmo!" Renui screamed sobbing over his now dead body. "Karmo" Renui sobbed holding his body in a tight grasp. "Don't worry you'll be joining him soon" a demon said coming up behind her and placing his hands on her head. He twisted her head to the side breaking her neck. The demon dropped her body letting it fall on top of Karmo's body.
"Now for the brat spread and search out. She couldn't have gotten to far holler if you find her. The quicker we find her and kill her the faster we can head back" the demon said.
All the demons nodded before spreading out to search for Rin. Rin stayed where she was too afraid to move, to afraid to run and hide. 'Mommy and daddy are dead all because of this Naraku' Rin thought starting to cry. She checked to see if the coast was clear before slowly making her way to her parents. "Mommy, daddy" Rin sobbed holding tightly to her mother's body.
"Hey the brat is over here!" one of the demons yelled getting close to Rin. "Do you miss you're mommy and daddy?" the one who found her asked as the other two came up behind him. "Well, don't worry you'll be joining them soon" the demon said grinning and attacking Rin with his claws. Rin screamed and ducked missing his claws.
She stared at him with big wide eyes filled with fear.
"Hold still" the demon said angrily taking another hit at her. Rin screamed again and moved back keeping her eyes on him. Too afraid to look away. "Hey boys take a look at this. Did you're mommy and daddy gave you this for you're birthday?" the demon teased holding up Rin's necklace. "That's mine give it back!" Rin yelled getting up and kicking the man in the leg that held her necklace.
"Why you little brat!" the demon yelled grabbing Rin by the arm lifting her up. "You'll pay for that" the demon growled in her face getting ready to hurt her. "But before I do that I'm going to rid of this necklace" the demon said smirking prepared to destroy it and dangling it in front of Rin. "No!" Rin screamed biting him in the arm hard breaking skin.
The demon yelled out in pain dropping Rin and the necklace.
Rin quickly grabbed the necklace and ran as fast as she could not looking back. "Don't let her get away get that brat" the demon Rin bit yelled. Rin didn't look back she just kept running not knowing where she was going. All she knew was that she had to run away from the demons otherwise they would kill her like they did her parents.
'Mommy, daddy' Rin thought crying as she remember watching the demons kill her parents.
Rin's tears blurred her visions making hard to see and avoid hitting things. Rin ran even faster when she heard one of the demons close behind her. Rin looked back not paying attention to where she was going, and screamed as she fell off a cliff and into the ocean. The demons stopped looking over the edge but couldn't find Rin anywhere.
"The brat couldn't have survived the fall she must have drowned" one of the demons said.
"Good that just made our job easier let's go" the lead demon said. They all nodded and ran away heading back to Naraku's.
End of Flashback
Rin was in tears again when she finished her story. Sesshomaru truly felt sorry for Rin and picked her up placing her on his lap. He rocked her back and forth, running his hand through her hair doing the best he could to comfort her. Sesshomaru was finally was able to calm Rin down enough that she fell asleep. "Now can you tell us what's going on?" InuYasha asked a little annoyed.
"Be quiet or you'll wake her" Sesshomaru whispered harshly as he made his way to Rin's room. He pulled back the blankets before laying Rin down. He then covered her with the blankets and brushed her hair back. He quietly left the room closing the door behind him and made his way to the living room. Where InuYasha and Shippo were waiting for him and sat down.
"What the hell happen in there?" InuYasha asked angrily wanting answers.
Sesshomaru sighed and started telling InuYasha and Shippo what happened before they got there. He then explained to them what happened to Kagome and told them all about Rin. "Are you going to adopt this girl or what? You can't just keep her like this" InuYasha asked.
"I don't know I didn't give it any thought" Sesshomaru said thinking to himself about Rin.
'I could always adopt her like InuYasha said or I can give her child custody and be rid of her. But no I can't do that I've gotten to attached this girl. I wonder if Naraku even knows if she's alive probably not the guy is a idiot. He can't do anything right but what if Rin doesn't want me to adopt her? Adopting her means I become her new guardian and father and she just lost her parents.
She would probably think I were trying to replace her parents and I can't do that to a girl this age. Maybe the best thing to do for Rin is to give her to child custody' Sesshomaru thought.
"Hello earth to Sesshomaru did you hear a word I said to you?" InuYasha asked waving his hand in front of Sesshomaru's face. "Huh what? Sorry I was just thinking" Sesshomaru said now paying attention to what was happening in front of him. "I said so what are you going to do?" InuYasha asked.
"I think the best thing for Rin is to give her up to child custody" Sesshomaru said his voice laced with sadness. InuYasha and Shippo both heard the sadness in his voice and looked at each other before looking at Sesshomaru. "Well, if you think that's the best thing to do then fine. Tomorrow we can take Rin to the police station and explain to them everything we know" InuYasha said.
'He's going to miss the kid. He's gone and got himself attached to the girl. I wonder why he just doesn't go and adopt her? It's obvious he cares for her like a father and she looks up to him like a father. If only he wasn't so stubborn in admitting his feelings' InuYasha thought hoping Sesshomaru would change his mind before they would take Rin to the police tomorrow.
InuYasha stood up and gave Sesshomaru a reassuring squeeze on his shoulder before leaving the room.
Shippo was about to leave the room when he stopped and looked back at Sesshomaru. "Sesshomaru" Shippo said getting his attention. "Think things over before you make you're decision. You might be making abig mistake and not even know it" Shippo said smiling a knowing smile before leaving joining InuYasha in the kitchen to get some breakfast.
Sesshomaru thought over what Shippo said and decided to go check up on Kagome.
He found her sound asleep in the bed and decided to join her. He climbed into bed and snuggled close to her enjoying her scent. He closed his eyes putting his arms around Kagome before falling asleep from this mornings events.
Onigumo knocked on the door and waited for Naraku to answer. He looked to the side and nodded to Kouga who nodded back and disappeared. Once Kouga left Onigumo turned back to the door just in time to see Naraku opening it. "Well, hello Onigumo what a pleasant surprise any good news on the wolf?" Naraku asked opening the door wide enough to let Onigumo come in.
"I found where he is and I'll be going after him later this afternoon. Is that blood on you're hand?" Onigumo asked as he closed the door behind. "Yes, I was just having fun with my guest before you came. She's tough but she'll break soon especially after what I'm going to put her through tonight" Naraku said with a grin as he licked off Ayame's blood from his hand.
'Good thing Kouga's getting her out of here otherwise she would be at the mercy of Naraku. And if there's one thing Naraku can do right, it's torturing people if Kouga doesn't get Ayame out of here now. She'll break and tell Naraku everything and I can't let that happen. Well, I guess it's now or never to get the plan in action' Onigumo thought.
"And what do you plan to do to her?" Onigumo asked to buy himself some time.
While Naraku went out explaining what he was going to do to Ayame. Onigumo closed his eyes and started to chant a spell under his breath. "Hey what are you doing?" Naraku asked.
"Nothing" Onigumo said throwing a bottle on the floor. The bottle smashed once it hit the ground and everything froze around him. He went to the window and opened it letting Kouga in. "You have about four minutes to find Ayame and to get out of here. Don't worry about Naraku he won't remember a thing" Onigumo said.
Kouga nodded and sniffed out Ayame's scent before following it.
Kouga quickly ran through the hallways and down the stairs to the dungeons. He looked around keeping an eye out for Ayame. 'Damn where is she? I'm running out of time wait her scent it's strongest here' Kouga thought slicing through the lock and opening the door. "Ayame" Kouga whispered in totally shock by the way Ayame looked.
Cuts and bruises where seen everywhere on her bare naked skin.
And the scent of forced sex and blood was heavily spread everywhere. Making it hard for Kouga to breath that he had to cover his nose. 'I'm going to kill Naraku for what he did to you Ayame' Kouga thought.
"Go away you're not real" Ayame mumbled stopping Kouga from getting her out of the chains. "What?" Kouga asked looking at her, his hand in the air. "I said go away you're not real" Ayame said lifting up her head to look at Kouga. "Ayame what are you talking about? Of course I'm real and I'm going to get you out of here" Kouga said about to free her from the chains.
"No, you're not Kouga would never come for me" Ayame said making Kouga stop again.
"Ayame how can you say that? Of course I would come for you and I'm going to get you out of here now" Kouga said slicing through the chains and catching Ayame when she fell. "Are you ok? Can you walk?" Kouga asked helping her stand on her feet. Ayame stood on feet and tried to walk, but failed miserably and started to fall.
Kouga saw this and quickly grabbed her before she could hit the ground.
"Go away leave me alone you're not real" Ayame said trying to push Kouga away. 'Is she nuts? Maybe she is, what did Naraku do to you?' Kouga wondered tightening his hold on Ayame. "I'm not letting you go and I'm getting you out of here. Now come we have to get going now were running out of time" Kouga said picking up Ayame and rushing out of room.
"Hurry the spell is going to wear off any second now" Onigumo said when Kouga appeared in living room.
"If the spell does wear off distract him I'll be out of here quickly" Kouga said. Onigumo nodded and Kouga quickly left out the way he came in. Onigumo was busy watching Kouga leave that he didn't notice that Naraku started to move. "What happened?" Naraku asked when the spell lifted. "You were telling me what you planned to do to Ayame tonight.
To make her break remember?" Onigumo asked taking a seat as if nothing happened.
"Oh yes I remember as I was saying" Naraku said going on about what he was going to do to Ayame. 'Excellent everything went as according to plan. Kouga got the girl and Naraku doesn't have a clue. He won't find out until later tonight and it will be too late. Now if only I could get Naraku to forget about Kagome then would everything be perfect and back to the way it's suppose to be' Onigumo thought.
Kagome yawned as she woke up and turned over on her side. She opened her eyes to find herself face to face with Sesshomaru. Kagome smiled and brushed back the hair that fell on his face. Kagome traced his stripes and then moved down to trace his lips. Kagome smiled at the fact that Sesshomaru didn't wake up from her feathery touches.
That's when Kagome decided that the only way to wake up Sesshomaru was to kiss him.
Kagome traced his lips again before kissing him on the lips. Sesshomaru woke up to feel someone kissing him and opened his eyes. He was relived to find it was Kagome kissing him. He kissed her back and pulled her closer to him. Kagome smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck. "Hello" Sesshomaru said.
"Good afternoon" Kagome said. Sesshomaru raised one his eyebrows giving her a weird face before taking a look at the clock. "So it is" Sesshomaru said sitting up with Kagome and leaning back on the head board. Kagome sat on his lap and laid her head on his chest. "What's wrong Sesshomaru?" Kagome asked knowing something was troubling him by the way he was acting.
"I don't know whether to adopt Rin or turn her into child custody. I want to I really want to adopt her but I feel if I do. She'll hate me and think I'm trying to replace her parents" Sesshomaru said running his hand through her hair. "Have you ever thought of asking her what she wants?" Kagome asked looking up. "What?" Sesshomaru asked confused and looking down at her.
"You know ask her what she wants, ask her if she would like to be adopted by you" Kagome said.
"That's a good idea can you ask her for me?" Sesshomaru asked.
"As much as I would like to do that for you, you need to ask her. You're the one who's going to be adopting her not me" Kagome said.
"True I hate it when you're right" Sesshomaru said. Kagome just smiled and kissed him. "You'll get use to it" Kagome said grinning and getting up. "I'm going to get dressed" Kagome said picking out clothes before she walked into the bathroom. "Hey Kagome" Sesshomaru said remembering something from before. "Yes," Kagome said from the bathroom.
"What happened to you out there earlier? You dropped the plates and then you fainted" Sesshomaru asked.
Kagome didn't say anything when she walked out of the bathroom in a pair of jeans and a shirt. "Kagome" Sesshomaru said still waiting for a answer. "Kagome what is it? Why aren't you saying anything?" Sesshomaru asked starting to get a little bit worried.
"That monster killed her parents and I was married to that monster. I was so stupid I married a monster who kills little girl's and there familles. And I didn't even see it I chose not to see it. I didn't even question him when I found blood on his shirt. I just went on ignoring the clues. That there was more to him then I knew. Maybe if I had done something Rin's parents would still be alive but no I did nothing.
I just fooled myself into thinking I was in love with him and he loved me. So nothing was wrong as long as we were still in love" Kagome said in tears.
"You didn't know that and it's not you're fault. Even if you knew what could you do about it? You didn't know how to use you're powers and you weren't strong enough to take him on yourself. It was better you didn't know anything if you did Naraku would have made sure that you didn't tell anyone. Which means you would have never been able to get away from him or get divorced.
And it also means we wouldn't be together" Sesshomaru said hugging her.
"I didn't think about that" Kagome said hugging him tighter and crying into his chest.
'Sesshomaru's right if none of this ever happened I would still be with Naraku. I wouldn't be with Sesshomaru and I wouldn't know how real love is suppose to feel like. And not all is bad even if Rin did lose her parents she still might get a dad. That's if Sesshomaru gets the courage to ask her. I know exactly how he feels I felt the same way with Shippo.
I didn't think he would like me and look us now. I don't know what I would do if I lost Shippo' Kagome thought.
"Now stop crying" Sesshomaru said smiling and wiping her tears away. "Only if you go and ask Rin to become you're daughter" Kagome said smiling up at him. "Umm I don't know" Sesshomaru said.
"I know exactly how you feel I went through the same thing with Shippo. Just go and ask her I'm sure she'll be happy to be adopted by you" Kagome said getting behind him and pushing him out of the room. Kagome continued pushing him until they were in front of Rin's room. "Rin sweetie Sesshomaru has something to ask you" Kagome said pushing him into the room.
"I'll just leave you two alone here" Kagome said quickly leaving and closing the door behind her.
Sesshomaru glared at the door he wanted to go after Kagome. For making him do this but he decided since he already had Rin's attention. He might as well ask the question he had been avoiding to ask. "Ummm Rin this really isn't easy for me to ask so just bear with me. I mean I can understand if you say no. It's you're choice and I'll accept any answer you give me. So what do you say?" Sesshomaru asked.
"What was the question?" Rin asked a little bit confused. "Well, you see the thing is I can't keep you like this. I would get into trouble and you would be taken away to some orphanage. So I was going to give you away to child custody but I realized I didn't want too, but I came up with an idea and if it's all right with you. I would like to adopt you" Sesshomaru said waiting for her to say something.
"I would like that" Rin said happily and running towards him to give him a hug. Sesshomaru smiled and picked her up hugging her back. "That's great" Sesshomaru said happy that Rin didn't reject him. Kagome smiled at Sesshomaru's happiness as he came into the room holding Rin's hand. "Listen up everyone I'm soon going to have a daughter which makes you a uncle" Sesshomaru said pointing to InuYasha.
"You got Kagome pregnant!" InuYasha half asked and yelled making Kagome spit out the coffee that was in her mouth. "No, I'm going to adopt Rin" Sesshomaru said glaring at InuYasha. "Oh sorry" InuYasha said his cheeks taking a red tint to them. "Idiot" Shippo said rolling his eyes. "Oh yeah" InuYasha said locking Shippo's head in a headlock.
"Stop it! Mom help!" Shippo yelled.
"InuYasha let go of him" Kagome said. InuYasha just "Feh'd" and let go of Shippo. Shippo smiled and stuck his tongue at him. InuYasha chased Shippo around the room until he ran behind Kagome. InuYasha skidded to a stop just barely almost hitting Kagome. InuYasha glared at Shippo knowing he wouldn't be able to get pass Kagome and left going back to his seat.
"Next time you're on you're own" Kagome said looking down at Shippo. "Hey how about we all go out?" Sesshomaru asked getting everybody's attention. "And do what?" InuYasha asked crossing his arms. "To go see a movie and maybe go out some place fun for dinner. Anywhere as long as we have some fun while were out" Sesshomaru said.
"Ok who are you? And what have you done with my real brother?" InuYasha asked a little bit surprised by the way Sesshomaru was acting. "That's a great idea come on let's all go out. It's much better then sitting around here doing nothing" Kagome said. Everyone agreed and went to go get ready.
For the rest of the day they spent the day having fun. They went to the movies and bought clothes and other things for Rin and went out to dinner. Then they went to a ice cream shop for dessert where Shippo and Rin shared the biggest sundae they ever had together. Sesshomaru and Kagome shared a sundae together taking turns feeding each other.
While InuYasha was busy talking to some girl he had met when getting his ice cream.
InuYasha disappeared later that night and Kagome and Sesshomaru took the kids back to house. Kagome and Sesshomaru sent to them to bed immediately since it was already past there bed time. They spent the rest of the night together cuddling on the couch watching a movie when Kagome fell asleep. Sesshomaru smiled and turned off the TV before carrying her back to there room.
