Chapter 13
Almost Caught By Naraku
Kagome woke up and opened her eyes. She was staring at Sesshomaru's chest and looked up. She smiled at his peaceful, sleeping face and cupped his cheek. She kissed him and he groaned. "Five more minutes Kag" Sesshomaru mumbled half awake and half asleep. Kagome huffed but left him alone to sleep some more. Kagome got up out of bed and stretched. She shrieked when she remember she was naked and felt a cold breeze blow by.
She searched for her dress only to find it in ruins. 'Damn now what am I suppose to wear Sess?' Kagome thought as she remembered how Sesshomaru used his claws last night to get her dress off. 'I know I'll just wear you're shirt that should cover me up just enough' Kagome thought now looking for his clothes. She found his boxers and his pants before finding his long-sleeved white shirt.
She put it on and buttoned up the buttons. The sleeves were a bit long, but the shirt was just long enough so nothing was showing. She heard something downstairs and decided to check it out. 'Maybe it's Jaken he did say he would come back in the morning' Kagome thought opening the door and heading downstairs. She came downstairs to find Jaken getting the place ready.
"Good morning" Jaken said as he saw Kagome come down. "Good morning Jaken" Kagome said as she reached the bottom step. "Did you have a nice night?" Jaken asked with a knowing smile. Kagome blushed and quickly looked away. "Ummm yes I did" Kagome said keeping her back to him. "At least you're honest but hey you don't have to be embarrassed by me" Jaken said putting his arm around her shoulders.
"You're like family now I can see he marked you last night and you must have marked him back" Jaken said sounding truly happy for her. "What?" Kagome asked looking at him confused. "I guess you haven't looked in a mirror yet have you? Well, come with me I have a mirror in the kitchen" Jaken said taking her hand and leading her to the back where the kitchen was. "Here look" Jaken said handing her a mirror.
Kagome looked at herself and gasped. 'Blue stripes' Kagome thought tracing each of them on her cheeks. She had two blue stripes on each side of her cheeks. She then looked at her neck where Sesshomaru bit her. She ran her fingers over the bite and smiled. That's when she noticed the blue stripes on her wrists. "Thanks for showing me" Kagome said smiling and handing Jaken back his mirror.
"No problem you hungry? I can make you some breakfast it will be a while before anyone comes in. I only serve lunch and dinner here. So I technically won't be opened until noon. So what do you want?" Jaken asked.
"Breakfast sounds great" Kagome said. Jaken nodded and started getting to work on making some breakfast for Kagome. "So what will it be?" Jaken asked as he took out a pan. "Oh no please don't go to all the trouble. Just anything will be fine" Kagome said taking a seat. "How does eggs, toast, bacon, and sausage's sound to you?" Jaken asked turning around and leaning against to stove looking at Kagome.
"Sounds good to me" Kagome said.
"Good then eggs, toast, bacon, and sausage's it will be" Jaken said turning around and getting out all the necessary things he would need. Jaken started cooking and the two sat in comfortable silence. When Jaken was done he made a plate for himself and Kagome. "I made some for Sesshomaru as well. So when he wakes up he'll have something to eat later" Jaken said handing her a plate and sitting down as well.
Kagome nodded and started to eat. "Good?" Jaken asked smiling and starting to eat. "It's great better then anything I've ever made" Kagome said.
"Oh come on you can't be that bad. Just practice and experiment with new things" Jaken said. Kagome nodded and went silent again. She couldn't get her mind off Sesshomaru's mating mark. She didn't understand what the mark meant. "Is there something on you're mind? Maybe you want to talk about it? Come on give me a chance I might be able to help you" Jaken said.
Kagome sighed and decided to give him a chance. "It's about the mating mark" Kagome said putting down her fork. "What about it?" Jaken asked getting up. "Well, since Sesshomaru marked me and I marked him. Does it mean were together like were married?" Kagome asked.
"Well, actually it means more then that but in way yes you're married" Jaken said taking out two glasses. 'What do you mean it's more then that?" Kagome asked. Jaken chuckled and came back with two glasses of orange juice. "I'm surprised he didn't talk to you about becoming mates, before he actually marked you or least after he marked you" Jaken said sitting down again and handing her a glass.
"Well, actually I think he tried to last night but I told him. Not now I'm tired we can talk tomorrow that I just wanted to sleep. Last night I knew and understood everything that was going on but now I have no clue. I felt something snap in me last night but I don't know what it was" Kagome said.
"It was you're beast" Jaken said.
"My what?" Kagome asked.
"You're beast, you're inner yoki you can call it. He must have lost control of his beast which I'm still surprised by. Anyway seeing his beast must have called out you're beast, which was that snap you felt. He had red eyes right? Seemed more animalistic? Maybe a little growling? Maybe you were doing the same thing to him?" Jaken asked.
"Yeah, how did you know?" Kagome asked.
"That's how it is with all Youkai usually. At least that's what happens when their beast is let loose. You don't have any regrets do you?" Jaken asked thinking if she did it was too late for her to go back. "No of course not I'm happy he did and I'm glad I marked him back" Kagome said.
"Good that's the important thing that you're ok with it. Now since the time you two marked each other you became mates. Mates ummm soul mates you both were once two wholes but now you're together as one. Different things happen to different youkai's when they mate. Some can read each other's mind when they want too. Or some can feel what there mate is feeling even when there miles apart.
It all depends on the two Youkai who've mated, their powers, and what kind of demon they are you know things like that. You might even have both of them and more. The main thing is you're mates and you should be happy" Jaken said. Kagome nodded and smiled she was happy. Of course she was she's Sesshomaru's mate! They finished the rest of their breakfast and Jaken cleaned up the dishes.
Kagome went upstairs and Jaken followed. He gave her some clothes that Sesshomaru had bought for her the day before. Kagome gladly took them and went into the upstairs bathroom to change. When Kagome was done she came out wearing a pair of dark blue jeans and a black T-shirt. "Good thing he still knows what I like and my size" Kagome said when she came out of the bathroom.
"He also got these for you" Jaken said handing her a pair of white sneakers and socks. Jaken was leaning on the outside wall of the room by the door on the right. "Wow he really thought ahead. Thanks" Kagome said sitting on the floor in the middle of the door way, where Sesshomaru was still sleeping behind her. Kagome put on her socks and shoes. She stood up brushing herself off and looked at her watch to see it was eleven thirty.
'It's getting late I think I should wake up Sess now' Kagome thought when she heard a door slam. 'Hello is anybody here!" a man yelled from downstairs. "It's Naraku what's he doing here?" Kagome asked to no one in particular. "What? Naraku? Are you sure?" Jaken asked coming into the room. "Yes, it's him I know that voice from anywhere especially when he yells and he sounds angry" Kagome said starting to panic and pacing back and forth.
"All right just calm down Kagome I'll take care of him" Jaken said before rushing out the door and down the stairs. 'Ok calm down Kagome you can do this. I can do this just calm down and think of a plan' Kagome thought trying to calm the frantic beatings of her heart. 'I've got it! Now all I have to do is stay calm and don't mess up. I know I can do this' Kagome thought before she quickly moved to Sesshomaru's side.
"Sess, Sess please wake up we have to get out of here now" Kagome whispered harshly as she tried to shake him awake. Sesshomaru woke up and quickly sat up in the bed. "What is it? What's wrong?" Sesshomaru asked wondering why Kagome woke him up so roughly. "No time for explanations get ready to go. Now hurry up and move it" Kagome said literally pushing Sesshomaru out of the bed.
Sesshomaru quickly got up with the help of Kagome and started to get dressed. "What is wrong with you?" Sesshomaru asked pulling on his pants. "Naraku is here and oh thanks for the clothes" Kagome said tossing him his shirt. "Naraku's here shit! What time is it?" Sesshomaru asked catching his shirt and quickly putting it on. "It's about eleven forty-five now" Kagome said taking a quick glance at her watch.
"Damn I wanted us to leave earlier then that. Why the hell did you let me sleep so late?" Sesshomaru asked now searching for his shoes. "Well, I'm sorry" Kagome said angrily throwing one of his shoes and hitting him in the head. "Ow that hurt Kags why the hell did you do that for?" Sesshomaru asked putting on the shoe he was hit in the head with. "Because you were trying to blame me sorry for letting you sleep so late.
I thought I would be nice and let you sleep. But instead you blame me for letting you sleep so late and the fact that Naraku's here is probably my fault too right?" Kagome asked hitting him with his other shoe. "I'm sorry and you would you stop hitting me with shoes. I'm sorry I blamed you I didn't mean it, it's not you're fault but now we have to come up with a plan on how to get out of here" Sesshomaru said.
"I already have one the plan it's to just walk pass him" Kagome said.
"What? Are you crazy? He'll see you for sure if we just walk pass him in broad daylight" Sesshomaru said thinking Kagome finally lost it. "I know, I know but what if we were to just to walk pass him but just not as ourselves" Kagome said.
"But how? What do you have in mind?" Sesshomaru asked putting on his watch and grabbing his keys. "I'll change our appearances and our scents. So we can just walk pass him" Kagome said.
"Ok, yeah use you're glamour spell but I thought you could only do that to yourself" Sesshomaru said.
"I know I said that but I have this feeling. I feel like I can do this, I know I can do this. Now just stay there and be quit" Kagome said closing her eyes and concentrating. She worked on changing his looks and scents with the image of him in her mind. When she opened her eyes, she opened them to see a blue eyed, brown haired Sesshomaru. All his markings were gone and his hair was short, very short.
And instead of his normal scent he smelled of a man wearing too much cologne. He had on a gray suit with a blue shirt underneath. Sesshomaru looked at himself and was surprised. "You did it, this is amazing now you" Sesshomaru said looking back up at her. Kagome nodded and worked on changing her looks and scent. When Kagome opened her eyes she found herself with long, curly blonde hair.
Sesshomaru stared at her in shock Kagome was now a blonde with blue eyes. She was wearing a cute pink dress with pink high heeled shoes. She was wearing clear lip gloss and was holding a matching pink purse. "Ready to go?" Kagome asked with a higher toned voice from hers. "After you" Sesshomaru said with a deep, sexy voice. Kagome smiled and put her purse over her shoulder.
Before leading the way out the room and down the stairs. Jaken had been talking to Naraku the whole time trying to get rid of him. When he finally was able and Naraku was about to leave, when they both heard a laughing couple coming down the stairs and into the eating area. Jaken started thinking oh shit, when he caught a look of Kagome and Sesshomaru only to see it wasn't them.
Getting over his shock Jaken was able to regain his composer and kept a straight face. "I thought you said you were closed" Naraku said angrily glaring at Jaken. "I am" Jaken said trying to explain but he couldn't think of anything to say, luckily for him Kagome did. "He is closed. He was just being nice and letting us use his bathroom. Or should I say letting me I had way too much drink" Kagome said smiling and putting her arms around Sesshomaru's neck.
Sesshomaru chuckled and removed Kagome from around his neck. "Come on honey let's get going. We still have a long way to go before we can make it home" Sesshomaru said taking Kagome's hand. "Yes, thank you so much...ummm what is you're name?" Kagome asked.
"Jaken my name is Jaken" Jaken said smiling.
"Yes, well thank you Jaken for letting me use you're bathroom. Come on dear let's get out of here and out of this nice man's hair" Kagome said leading the way out. Kagome waved good-bye and Jaken waved back winking. Making sure Naraku didn't see him doing it. "Like I said I'm not open and I won't be until noon which will be in a minutes" Jaken said once Kagome and Sesshomaru were gone.
"And last night?" Naraku asked.
"I closed early to head home I was expecting somebody" Jaken said wishing Naraku would just go now. "And who were you expecting?" Naraku asked thinking Jaken was lying to him. "Now I don't think that's any of you're business. So now if you could so kindly leave. I need to get ready for my lunch shift" Jaken said trying to lead Naraku out. Naraku smirked and turned around to swipe at Jaken's neck with his claws instantly killing him.
"You were no longer useful to me" Naraku said before he left and got into his car. 'I came here for nothing I guess all I can do is wait for that call from Kagome. I might as well head back home' Naraku thought driving off down the road back not caring for the speed limit. Little did Naraku know he didn't really kill Jaken but a copy. The real Jaken was safely hidden in a distance where he watched everything.
'Whew that was a close one' Jaken thought watching his copy disappear. 'I have to admit Kagome is quick on her feet. I thought for sure we were in trouble when they came downstairs. Or explaining why they were here when I said I was closed. Good luck Kagome and Sesshomaru and keep her safe Sesshomaru. She truly does loves you' Jaken thought before heading into the kitchen to get a start on things.
Once they made it out the restaurant Kagome and Sesshomaru got in the car. Sesshomaru quickly started up the car and drove off before they saw Naraku. "See I told you it would work" Kagome said smiling and putting down the window. "You did and I should have had more faith in you sorry about earlier" Sesshomaru said taking a moment to glance at her. "It's ok Sess I understand I panicked too" Kagome said.
"You know I was thinking maybe we should just stay the way we are now. We wouldn't have to worry about people recognizing us" Sesshomaru said taking another glance at Kagome while keeping his eyes on the road. "I thought about it too, but I don't want to stay a blonde it's just not me. Plus I would miss looking at you're beautiful face" Kagome said smiling and grabbing his hand.
She squeezed his hand and returned them back to normal. "Sess you're hair it's back to it's normal color you're not a blonde anymore" Kagome said staring at him in shock and surprise. "It must have changed back during our mating last night. Which I want to talk to you about" Sesshomaru said.
"It's ok Jaken explained everything to me this morning, before Naraku came and I'm happy that were mates. I know what being mates mean and what can happen to us like mind reading but I'm ok with that. I'm ok with everything and I don't regret last night do you? I'm happy were mates aren't you? Unless you wish it never happened but you don't right?" Kagome asked. Sesshomaru sighed and pulled the car over to the side of the road.
Sesshomaru turned to face Kagome and grabbed both of her hands. "Of course I'm happy were mates and no I don't wish it never happened. And I have no regrets it's just I wanted to talk to you and ask you before I made you my mate. Or least marry you first before I did" Sesshomaru said.
"But we are kind of married at least that's what Jaken told me. He said it was more then just a marriage were soul mates now and our bond will only just get stronger. Don't you want that?" Kagome asked.
"Yes, of course but when I say let's get married. I mean in the way you're mother would approve of. You know how she is she never really liked the way Youkai got married. She liked the traditional way where you wear white and say you're vows. When she finds out it's going to be the last time you'll see me, cause she's going to kill me" Sesshomaru said.
"No, she's not and I'm going to make sure of that. I'll sit her down and explain everything ok? So are we done talking now?" Kagome asked.
"Yes," Sesshomaru said smiling. Kagome nodded and smiled back. "Good" Kagome said before cupping his cheek and kissing him. "Let's get going then I'm sure InuYasha and the kids are already there" Sesshomaru said starting up the car and getting back on the road. "Ok but after we stop some place to eat and call InuYasha and say hi to the kids" Kagome said.
"You were up early didn't Jaken make you something to eat for breakfast?" Sesshomaru asked thinking the next time he saw Jaken he'd kill him. "He did he also made you a plate, but well you know with Naraku being there we rushed out of there. Not giving you the chance to eat, I want to make sure you have something to eat before we continue and I want to talk InuYasha and Shippo.
And don't you want to find out how Rin is doing?" Kagome asked knowing she got him now. "That's low even for you using my daughter like that. You know I would say yes well, anyway let's find a place to eat and we can use my cell phone to call InuYasha and the kids" Sesshomaru said.
"Thank you" Kagome said smiling happy that she got her way. So after a while Sesshomaru found them a place to eat where they could watch TV and Kagome turned them back to there disguise they used to get them pass Naraku. He wanted to make sure they weren't on the news again. While Kagome talked to InuYasha then Shippo. Then Sesshomaru talked to Rin and InuYasha while Kagome kept eyes on the TV news.
"Anything about us on there?" Sesshomaru asked motioning up to the TV over their table. "No nothing" Kagome said.
"Good" Sesshomaru said putting his arm around Kagome. "But I did already order for the both of us" Kagome said feeling warm in Sesshomaru's embrace. "InuYasha says there almost there about an hour away, which means we have to hurry and get moving. Which also means were going to have to keep driving straight ahead with no stops if we went to get there tonight" Sesshomaru said.
"Ok we can take turns driving so when one of us gets tried the other one can drive. While the one driving before can rest" Kagome said.
"Ok that sounds good" Sesshomaru said kissing her on her forehead. A waitress came and gave them there drinks and food before leaving again. They began to eat while keeping there eyes on the TV. Kagome was taking a gulp of her drink only to spit it back out. "Kagome what's wrong?" Sesshomaru asked thinking she was choking. "Look at the TV" Kagome said pointing at the TV and still gulping for air.
Sesshomaru looked up to see the hospital Kagome was in, before he pretended to be Naraku and got her out. "Police are still trying to find more clues to this mysterious man slaughter. There were no survivor's to be found in this hospital behind me. The police have no clues to who would do anything like this. Broken necks and cuts on the throats were found on most of the victims.
Police say they had a urgent call from a woman screaming saying there was a mad man on the loose and had killed everyone in the hospital. When they heard the lady scream again then all went quiet before the phone line went dead. It is believed this horrible slaughter happened sometime last night. The police arrived on the scene to find everybody dead and the person responsible gone.
We'll report back to you when more information is released" the man said before they went back to the news studio. "He was there he knew I was in the hospital. They must have called him and he came here to get me. Broken necks, cuts on throats that sounds like him. Naraku it was Naraku who killed at those people in that hospital" Kagome said starting to cry and get scared.
"Kagome calm down please" Sesshomaru said putting his arms around her. He was glad they picked a table in a corner which was sort hidden in the dark. He looked around to make sure nobody was looking or listening. "He knew and he killed all those people on purpose. Don't you get it Sess? Naraku killed all those people on purpose it's a message. He's telling me he wants me back, and he'll do anything to get me back, and he'll do anything even if it means killing a lot of people just to do it" Kagome cried in his chest.
Sesshomaru held her close and ran his hand through her hair. "That's why he was at the restaurant he was looking for us mostly me. He must have figured out it was you that pretended to be him. To get to me first he probably thought we were still around the area. Since it was so late last night so he probably spent the night back there and waited until morning. To go to the restaurant to question Jaken to see if we were there or not.
Kami Naraku is being smart real smart it's kind of scary" Kagome said holding tightly to Sesshomaru. "Yes, Naraku probably did figure out all those things but were smarter then him. We've been able to get out of everything he's thrown at us. Everyday you're getting stronger like this morning you were able to change both of our appearances. Soon you'll be finding yourself doing things you couldn't do before.
Also this morning you were pretty calm instead of panicking thinking the worse to come. You stayed calm and came up with a brilliant plan. You're much smarter then Naraku any day you proved that today and you've proved it a lot of other times. Especially when you divorced Naraku and chose me as you're mate" Sesshomaru said smiling.
"You think so?" Kagome asked looking up at him and smiling. "I know so" Sesshomaru said wiping away her tears. "Come on let's finish up here quickly so we can get a move on" Sesshomaru said handing her napkin from off the table.
"Thanks it's just I can't believe he would kill all those people just to send me a message. How can he live with himself? Better yet how does he except me to live with him knowing he killed all those people and probably more?" Kagome asked shivering at the thought of being with Naraku again. "Don't worry about it besides I won't have my mate living with another man. You will be living with me" Sesshomaru said cupping her cheek.
"Really? Me living with you again? I would love that" Kagome said smiling.
"Good" Sesshomaru said kissing her passionately. Kagome moaned feeling herself melt from the heat of the kiss, when she remember where they were. "Sess stop it" Kagome moaned even though she didn't want him to stop. "But you don't want me to stop right?" Sesshomaru asked huskily kissing her again before she could say anything back.
"Sess stop it as much as I would like too. We can't do this here and we don't have the time" Kagome said her eyes clouded with lust. "We'll finish this another time" Sesshomaru said giving her a quick kiss before getting up. "But Sess what about our food? We haven't finished eating yet and you promised me you would eat" Kagome asked.
"We'll just take it with us" Sesshomaru said pulling his keys out of his pockets. "Ok but I'm driving" Kagome said getting up and taking his keys out of his hand. Kagome grabbed her purse and left before Sesshomaru could argue. When Sesshomaru came out with there food Kagome was already sitting in the car waiting for him. Kagome smiled at him and Sesshomaru just glared back.
"Oh come Sess I'm not a bad driver" Kagome said starting up the car while he got in. "Don't even say it that wasn't my fault and you know it" Kagome said after seeing his face and his mouth about to open. Sesshomaru just smirked and leaned back in his seat. "I hate it when you do this don't just sit there with that cocky smirk. Just say something, say anything" Kagome said.
"Are you sure about that? Anything?" Sesshomaru asked challenging her "You know what never mine don't say anything we'll just listen to some music but it's going to be my choice!" Kagome yelled turning on the radio and playing it loudly. Sesshomaru just smirked again and closed his eyes. 'I hate it when he's so cocky like this' Kagome thought driving back on the road and making time. After a while Kagome gave up and the two argue a bit.
But for the rest of the ride they acted silly, they happily talked, laughed, and sang with songs on the radio.
InuYasha made it to where they needed to be and easily found Kagome's and Sesshomaru's old clubhouse. He was shocked to find it was still up in the tree, after all the years and was happy it was big. Kagome and Sesshomaru had made it out of wood and built it big like house so it filled up the whole tree and it's roots. InuYasha jumped up into the tree and hopped inside through a open window.
He told the kids to stay and wait for him while he checked out things. The place was a bit dusty and looked old, but it was still in good condition. There was no broken boards and no animals to be found inside. He looked around to find rope stairs and next to it was a trap door. Which InuYasha guessed was the way you got in and out. He opened the trap door and looked down to see Shippo and Rin sitting on the ground waiting for him.
"Hey use this to get up!" InuYasha yelled to them dropping the rope stairs down. Rin climbed up first and Shippo followed after her. InuYasha helped pulled Rin and Shippo up, before pulling back up the rope stairs and closing the door. "It's dark in here can we open some windows?" Rin asked looking around at all the closed windows. "Sure you get those windows over there Shippo" InuYasha said opening the windows on his side.
"Much better" Rin said as the sun shine poured in lighting up the house. "Yeah you're right" InuYasha said taking a seat on the floor. Rin and Shippo followed taking a seat and sitting down next to a window. They sat in silence for a while all wondering the same how long would they have to wait. "When are Kagome and daddy going to get here?" Rin asked after about an hour of silence.
"I don't know you're daddy said he and Kagome were on the way" InuYasha said wondering where they were too. "Could you maybe call them and ask?" Rin asked hoping InuYasha would say yes. "Sure why didn't I think of that earlier? Actually don't answer that especially you Shippo" InuYasha said giving Shippo a warning glare while he took out his cell phone. "Ok I won't say you're too much of an idiot to think of calling mom and Sesshomaru.
To ask where they are and when they'll get here" Shippo said.
"Who you calling an idiot you little brat" InuYasha said glaring at Shippo. "You stupid but I guess you're too stupid to figure that out" Shippo said smirking.
"I'm going to kill you, you little runt you're mommy isn't here to save you this time" InuYasha said aiming at Shippo's head. Luckily for Shippo, he ducked and ran behind Rin. "Stop it both of you please this isn't the time or the place to fight" Rin said hating that she was being put in the middle. InuYasha stopped his attack on Shippo and looked at Rin. 'She's right this really isn't the place or time' InuYasha thought.
"Please uncle InuYasha can you call them?" Rin asked. InuYasha stared at her in shock and surprise, but felt pride swell in his heart happy to hear her call him uncle. "Yeah sure" InuYasha said starting to dial the phone number. "Hey where are you guys?" InuYasha asked when Sesshomaru picked up the phone. "Were almost there why are you already there?" Sesshomaru asked.
"Yeah were in the club house right now waiting for you" InuYasha said.
"Well, at the rate Kagome is driving we'll be there in about two hours. That's if we don't crash but with Kagome you never know" Sesshomaru said laughing. "Sess how dare you say that!" Kagome could be heard yelling over the phone. "Glad you two are having such a great time together but you need to hurry up" InuYasha said.
"All right, all right keep you're pants on especially in front of the kids" Sesshomaru said making InuYasha growl. "Ok relax I'm just messing with you will be there as soon as we can. As for now just stay where you are and let me talk to Rin" Sesshomaru said.
"Ok hey here Rin you're dad wants to talk to you" InuYasha said handing Rin the phone. Rin and Sesshomaru talked for a while, before Rin handed the phone to Shippo and Sesshomaru gave his phone to Kagome. After Shippo was done he hung up and handed the phone to InuYasha. They all sat in silence again waiting for Kagome and Sesshomaru when InuYasha couldn't take it anymore.
"You two stay right here in this clubhouse I'll be right back. I'm going to go check out Kagome's mom's house to see if she's under watch like we thought she would be" InuYasha said. Both Rin and Shippo promised and InuYasha leapt out the window after the two promised him they would stay. InuYasha made sure as he went, that he stayed out of sight and couldn't be heard.
When he made it to the house he sensed something was wrong. 'Demons, there were demons here there scent is all over. I wonder why demons were here?' InuYasha thought he looked around the house but found no demons or anything. InuYasha debated whether he should knock or just go back and wait for Kagome and Sesshomaru, but he couldn't fight the feeling that something was wrong.
The place seemed too calm and no demons were to be found even though there scent was everywhere. InuYasha knocked on the door but there was no answer. He knocked again but there was no answer or any movement to be heard. 'This isn't like Miss Higurashi I don't think she'll mind me just coming in' InuYasha thought opening the door. "Miss Higurashi!" InuYasha yelled looking around and closing the door behind him.
"Miss Higurashi!" InuYasha yelled as he got a better look around. He noticed some things were broken and burned like a fight had taken place there. 'It must have been those demons but why would demons attack Miss Higurashi? Yes, she's a miko but she wouldn't have any enemies now. Unless Kagome! It must have been Naraku who had the demons attack Miss Higurashi because it's another way to get to Kagome' InuYasha thought.
He looked around hoping Kagome's mom was still around and alive. 'I guess we were right about Naraku keeping a watch on Kagome's mom' InuYasha thought fearing for the worse. "Miss Higurashi!" InuYasha yelled when he got no answer he was about to leave when he heard something. InuYasha's ears twitched when he picked up the smallest sound of moaning. "Miss Higurashi where are you?" InuYasha asked knowing she was around someplace.
InuYasha heard her moan again and followed the sound down the hallway. He looked in the bathroom where he didn't look before to find Kagome's mom on the floor. Blood was pooled all around her which came from her big stomach wound to the gut. "Miss Higurashi are you ok? Ok that was a stupid question of course you're not. Just hold on I've got to find some bandages" InuYasha said before tearing through the bathroom for things he needed.
InuYasha found some bandages and things and placed them in a area away from all the blood. He then picked up Miss Higurashi and laid her near the bandages. InuYasha then filled up the sink with hot water and waited for it to fill up. When he filled it up, he dipped a rag in the water and kneeled down. "This might hurt but I've got to clean up the wound first" InuYasha said.
Miss Higurashi nodded and InuYasha placed the rag on her stomach. When InuYasha was done, and Miss Higurashi's wound was all cleaned, and the sink was filled with blood. InuYasha drained everything out of the sink before turning back to Miss Higurashi. Lucky for InuYasha and her, he was able to find some herbs she kept in the cabinets in little jars. InuYasha placed two of the green leaf herbs in the middle of her wound.
He careful and gently started to wrapped bandages around her stomach. When he was done he cleaned everything up before carefully picking up Miss Higurashi. He carried her to her room and laid her on her back. "Thank you InuYasha" Miss Higurashi said weakly.
"No problem Miss Higurashi" InuYasha said pulling the covers over her. "Just call me Sakura" Sakura whispered before she passed out. 'I'd better keep an eye on her in case any demon comes back to finish her off, but first I have to get to the kids and bring them back here. So I can keep an eye on them and Sakura' InuYasha thought. He quickly left and got back to the kids.
He explained to them what happened and told them to come back to the house with him. "You two just stay right here and watch TV without making any trouble or noise. Miss Higurashi needs her rest so you have to be quiet" InuYasha said.
"Ok" both Shippo and Rin said before gluing their eyes to the TV. InuYasha rolled his eyes and went outside to call Kagome and Sesshomaru to tell them to meet them now at Kagome's mom's house but no one answered.
"Sess we should get that" Kagome said before she moaned again. "They can leave a message" Sesshomaru said kissing and nipping at her mating mark. "But Sess what if it's InuYasha and something happened? That could be him calling us to tell us something happened" Kagome said putting her arms around his neck. "InuYasha can handle it" Sesshomaru said unzipping her pants.
"Ok but here? Now?" Kagome asked panting she didn't know how much more she could take before she gave in. "Yes, I want you here and I want you now" Sesshomaru whispered huskily in her ear. Kagome moaned and shivered at the sound of his voice. "But in the car? What if someone sees us?" Kagome asked while he was taking off her pants. "Yes, and so what if someone sees us.
It makes all more exciting doesn't it? The thought of being caught doing something that pleasures you. What you crave for and beg for more and more. Don't you want this? Don't you want me?" Sesshomaru whispered huskily his hot breath tickling her neck. Kagome moaned and pushed all rational thoughts out of her head.
Kagome grabbed Sesshomaru's face and kissed him hard. Sesshomaru smirking knowing he got through to Kagome. "I want you" Kagome said panting before she kissed him again. "I know and don't worry I won't make you that long" Sesshomaru said pulling off her shirt.
Kagome held onto Sesshomaru's shoulders afraid if she let go. She would be lost and drown in the seas of passion. Kagome calmed down and she started breathing instead of panting. Once all his seed emptied inside her and she was relaxed Sesshomaru withdrew. Sesshomaru sat up taking Kagome with him. He reached down to the floor and started grabbing their clothes.
"Sess" Kagome whined holding up her ripped panties and bra. "Now what am I suppose to wear under my clothes?" Kagome asked. Sesshomaru smirked and kissed her. "A kiss isn't going to solve my problem" Kagome said even though she enjoyed the kiss as much as him. "Nothing" Sesshomaru said smiling and zippering up his pants before grabbing his shirt. "Sess that's not funny" Kagome said hitting him in the chest.
"I know but you'll just have to deal with it until we get to the city where you're mom lives. There we can buy you some new undergarments but for now just enjoy the freedom" Sesshomaru said earning himself another hit in the chest. "That's not funny but I guess that's all we can do for now" Kagome said before she started to get dress. Kagome put on her pants and then lifted up her arms so Sesshomaru could pull her shirt down over her head.
"Thanks" Kagome said. Sesshomaru just nodded and got out of the car. While Sesshomaru opened the door and got in. Kagome climbed over the seats into the front seat on the passenger side since it was Sesshomaru's turn to drive. Sesshomaru got in and started up the car. He rolled his eyes watching Kagome climb over the seats and waited until she was buckled up.
"What?" Kagome asked looking up at the face Sesshomaru was giving her, after she buckled her seat belt. "It was faster" Kagome said Sesshomaru just rolled his eyes again and drove off. Sesshomaru continued driving for an hour and made it to the city when the sun started to go down. They stopped at a clothing store for Kagome before heading to their old clubhouse.
"Sess look there it is, I can't believe it's still there after all these years" Kagome said pointing up at there old clubhouse they built together. "Of course it is, I was the one who did all the work" Sesshomaru said walking up to her. "No, you didn't I did some of the work too" Kagome said crossing her arms and glaring at him. "You mean how you made lemonade so when I hot and thirsty I would have something to drink" Sesshomaru said.
"Ok, so that's all I did but you have to admit the lemonade was good and it cooled you off" Kagome said putting her hands on her hips. Sesshomaru just shook his head and jumped up into the tree. Kagome followed after him and was surprised to find she could so easily jump into the tree and not fall. "That was easier then I thought" Kagome said following Sesshomaru inside the clubhouse through a window.
"Please don't tell me you forgot everything I told you. I explained everything to you and answered you're questions on the way here. Remember?" Sesshomaru asked hoping she wouldn't say what he didn't want her to say. "Relax Sess I remember" Kagome said making Sesshomaru sigh with relief. "I remember everything it's just it's one thing to be told about it, but it's another to exactly experience it" Kagome said.
Sesshomaru nodded he understood what Kagome was saying cause he went through the same thing when he was a kid. Testing out his new powers and abilities every chance he could get. He loved learning something new everyday and would beg his mom to teach him something new that he didn't know yet. "There not here" Kagome said looking around as old memories of her and Sesshomaru spending time together in their clubhouse filled her head.
"There not here now but they were here earlier" Sesshomaru said looking back at her. "What? How do you know?" Kagome asked wondering how Sesshomaru knew. "Use you're nose and find their scents Shippo, InuYasha, and Rin each have there own scent try to find them" Sesshomaru said. Kagome closed her eyes and focused on her nose. She sniffed around when she caught a smell of something sweet.
"I can smell flowers and honey that must be Rin right?" Kagome asked opening her eyes and looking at Sesshomaru. "Yes, good now look for Shippo's scent" Sesshomaru said smiling. Kagome nodded and sniffed out for Shippo's scent. "I can smell forests and I think summer rains?" Kagome asked looking confused. "Good but it's not Shippo's scent but InuYasha's" Sesshomaru said.
"Oh" was all Kagome could think to say before she went back to sniffing out more scents. "Pine and Sakura petals that's Shippo and" Kagome was saying as she moved closer to Sesshomaru. "You smell of waterfalls and spring what a lovely scent" Kagome said hugging him and inhaling his lovely scent. "And you smell of jasmines and vanilla" Sesshomaru said nudging her neck with his nose as he smelt her scent.
"So if we follow their scents we should be able to find them right?" Kagome asked.
"Yes, in these circumstances but there will be times, when you can't easily find a person by their scent. They may be using a spell to hide their scent like you do or rain. Or any other weather erases the scent completely making it even harder to track a person. Lucky for us their scent is still fresh and will be easy to track. So let's get going" Sesshomaru said. Kagome nodded and leaped out of the tree first and Sesshomaru followed.
"I'll leave it up to you to find them think of it as part of you're training. Which we'll have to make time for cause you still need to be trained" Sesshomaru said.
"Ok" Kagome said. Happy she was getting a chance to use of her new demon abilities and that Sesshomaru was going to find time to train her. Sesshomaru training her meant learning new things and new ways to protect herself and her family. Becoming Sesshomaru's mate also meant that Rin was now her daughter as Shippo was now Sesshomaru's son. Kagome led the way and realized how everything looked so familiar.
"Sesshomaru I think I know where they are there at my mom's house" Kagome said walking faster as she neared the house. Fear started to creep it's way into Kagome's mind as she started to run faster and faster. She couldn't help but think something must have went wrong, otherwise why would they be at her mom's house? She quickly opened the door to the house not noticing the heavy scent of demons and blood but Sesshomaru did.
"Mommy!" Shippo yelled jumping up from his seat and hugging Kagome. "Hi Shippo sorry were so late" Kagome said hugging him back and ruffling his hair. Shippo sensed something different about Kagome and stared at her confused. Sesshomaru watched as Shippo realized what it was, that was different and Shippo's smile growing into a grin. "Mommy why is Sesshomaru's scent all over you?" Shippo asked watching her cheeks burn red.
"Ummm well that's because we ummm were mates" Kagome said she didn't plan this to happen. She planned to sit Shippo down and explain that, her and Sesshomaru loved each other very much and decided to take it to another level by becoming mates. "Does that mean Sesshomaru's my new dad and Rin is my new baby sister?" Shippo asked he couldn't help, but grin and bounce up and down on his feet.
"Yes, but I wouldn't call Rin a baby she's a big girl and she's only one year younger then you" Kagome said smiling she was happy to see Shippo was so ok and happy with his new family members. "Rin, I'm you're big brother now!" Shippo yelled running off to find Rin. "Shut up you brat I thought I told you to be quiet" InuYasha said. Shippo just stuck out his tongue and ran off to find Rin still.
InuYasha glared at Shippo's running back and turned around to see Kagome and Sesshomaru. "Oh I didn't know you guys were you here" InuYasha said quietly. InuYasha was acting was strangely and both Kagome and Sesshomaru noticed this. "You guys are probably wondering why I'm acting so weird right?" InuYasha asked bringing Kagome's worst fears to life. 'I knew it something is wrong.
Something happened but what? Shippo looked fine and I'm sure Rin is ok too. So what is it? What happened? InuYasha is acting so strangely so quiet that's not like him. What happened that's so bad, that it would get InuYasha to act this way?' Kagome thought getting more and more afraid. "InuYasha tell me what's wrong, tell me what's happened" Kagome said getting no response from InuYasha.
"It's about you're mother she's ok it's just..." InuYasha was saying but he stopped. He knew how much Kagome's mother meant to Kagome and he didn't want to be the one to give her the bad news. "Damn it InuYasha just tell me!" Kagome yelled tears streaming down her face. "You're mother was attacked by demons. She was able to killed them all but got hurt in the process.
She took a serious hit to the stomach I came here to see if she was being watched by Naraku. Like we thought and it turned out to be we were right. I smelt demons all over the place and decided to see if she was ok here. I walked in, after you're mom didn't answer and after a while I heard a moan, and found you're mom in the bathroom bleeding badly from her wound. So I cleaned her up and used some herbs before I bandaged her up and put her bed.
She's sleeping right now has been for a while, but she's ok she's just resting" InuYasha said hating to be the bearer of bad news. Kagome wiped her tears and walked out of the house slamming the door behind her. She was so scared something bad had happen to her mother, but was relieved to know she was going to be ok. And once Kagome knew her mother was going to be ok anger set in.
Kagome never felt such anger and hatred towards one person. It was bad enough he was after her and tried to hurt her and Shippo. And got InuYasha and Sesshomaru in trouble and on the look out too, but to attack her mother was with demons was the last straw. "Aren't you going to go after her?" InuYasha asked wondering why Sesshomaru didn't go after Kagome. "She just needs some time to herself" Sesshomaru said sighing and taking a seat.
"And how do you know that?" InuYasha asked taking a seat too. "Our bond as mates is letting me know that she's angry and needs time to cool off. She just needs a little time to herself to figure things out. When she's more calm I'll go after her" Sesshomaru said.
"You two are mates?" InuYasha asked finding this out for the first time. "So that's why Shippo was yelling Rin was his sister so when did it happen?" InuYasha asked crossing his legs like a man does and folding his arms behind his head. "The night we got attacked and split up from the house. We stayed at Jaken's restaurant for the night I picked her up at the hospital after the accident and had the rest of the evening planned out.
We went to bed and well you know the rest. Things got out of control and both our inner beast's came out" Sesshomaru said.
"Hey I'm happy for you the both of you" InuYasha said. Sesshomaru looked at InuYasha and realized he was being serious. "Thanks" Sesshomaru said nodding his head, before he laid back and closed his eyes. About a half and hour later Kagome came back more relaxed and calm. "Sorry if I worried you Sess, I didn't mean to I just needed some time to myself" Kagome said sitting next to him.
"I know" Sesshomaru said opening his eyes and looking at Kagome. "You knew but how?" Kagome asked. Sesshomaru smiled and put his arm around Kagome pulling her closer to him. "Through our bond, I sensed you were angry and just needed some time for yourself" Sesshomaru said. Kagome nodded and laid her head on his chest. They sat for a while in silence but a comfortable silence which they both understood.
"Sess?" Kagome said breaking the silence. "Yes," Sesshomaru said looking down at her face. "Ummm I was wondering if we could start my training now I really want to become stronger. I want to be able to protect myself and our family. I also want to unleash all my powers that's if you'll help me will you?" Kagome asked.
"This sudden determination has to do with Naraku am I right?" Sesshomaru asked.
"Yes, that and I can't ignore the fact that things are getting dangerous. Naraku is crazy, he attacked my mother just because he's trying to get me back. I have to learn and I have to train, like you said if I don't want Naraku to hurt me then don't let him" Kagome said. Sesshomaru smiled and got up and then helped Kagome up. "Then let's get started" Sesshomaru said leading the way outside.
"First we'll start with you're demons powers and we'll see where that takes us" Sesshomaru said before he started her training. Sesshomaru continued training Kagome until it got to dark to see for a least the human eye. Sesshomaru and Kagome could easily see each other and other things with their demon eyes. "Come on Kagome that's enough training for tonight" Sesshomaru said.
"No, not yet Sess I want to keep training, I have too I still can't use all my miko powers" Kagome said. After Sesshomaru trained Kagome in her demon abilities and since she was such a fast learner, he moved on to her miko powers. They spent hours on trying to control her true power, but no matter how hard Kagome tried she just couldn't do it. So Sesshomaru went on and taught her how to use them to make barriers and things.
So if Kagome ever found herself in a fight she would be able to fight and able to win. After Kagome learned all those things they went back to trying to control her power, but she still couldn't do it. It was now eleven o clock at night and Kagome still didn't want to give up yet. "Kagome it's late we really should get inside and go to bed" Sesshomaru said holding out his hand. "Then why don't you go!" Kagome snapped angrily and slapping his hand away.
"Fine I will" Sesshomaru said before leaving and heading into the house. He didn't want to deal with Kagome and wasn't going to stand around so she could take her frustrations out on him. Kagome watched Sesshomaru go and fell to her knees. 'I didn't mean to yell at him' Kagome thought moving to sit under a tree. 'It just makes me so mad that I have all this power yet I can't use it.
But what's the use of learning my powers if Sess is mad at me. Even if I did find out how to use my powers tonight I couldn't tell Sess. He wouldn't listen he would still be mad at me. I yelled at him and I hit him just because I was upset. Being upset doesn't give me the right to go yelling and hitting people. Sess must really mad at me. Oh no what if he changes his mind about us being mates' Kagome thought pulling her legs up and resting her arms on her legs.
'I wouldn't blame him if he didn't want to be mates anymore and wanted to leave. Kami I'm such a bad mate I've gotten the one and only person who ever truly loved me mad at me' Kagome thought putting her head in her arms before she started to cry. Kagome sobbed and stayed where she was thinking Sesshomaru would never forgive her. It was midnight and Kagome was half a sleep when she felt someone picking her up.
"Sess?" Kagome whispered not sure it was him that was carrying her bridal style. "Yes," Sesshomaru said sensing her confusion. "I'm so sorry Sess I didn't mean it. I didn't meant to yell at you or hit you I'm sorry. Please forgive me I'm sorry I'm really, really sorry and I can totally understand if you hate me" Kagome said going on about how much she was sorry and hoped he forgave her.
Sesshomaru carried Kagome into the house and into their room for the night, which was also Kagome's old room. He listened to Kagome sob as she cried about how sorry she was. Finally Sesshomaru couldn't take it anymore and kissed her silencing her from her frantic sobbing. "Sess I'm" Kagome was saying before Sesshomaru silenced her with another kiss. "I know and I forgive you so please stop crying" Sesshomaru said wiping away her tears.
Kagome nodded and laid her head on his chest. Kagome snuggled closer to him wanting to get warm from the cold air of the night. Sesshomaru felt Kagome slightly shivering and wrapped his arms around her. "You're shivering how could you stand to be in that cold? Do you know what time is it now? It's midnight and it's cold out there you're going to catch yourself a cold. You should have came in and warmed up" Sesshomaru said pulling off her shirt.
"I'm sorry" Kagome whispered. Sesshomaru nodded and kissed her on her forehead. "Just don't do it again ok" Sesshomaru said getting up to her something to wear for the night. "Here put this on" Sesshomaru said throwing her a pair of pajama bottoms and a tang top after searching through her drawers. When Kagome was done dressing Sesshomaru got in bed and took Kagome with him.
He pulled the blankets over them and wrapped his tail around her. He then pulled her closer to him and held her in his arms so she would get warm fast. "Thanks" Kagome said laying her head on his chest. "You're welcome now sleep" Sesshomaru said giving her one last kiss on the lips. Kagome snuggled closer to him before closing her eyes she quickly fell asleep exhausted from the day's events.
Sesshomaru watched Kagome fall asleep quickly and ran his hands through her hair. He wanted to make sure she was warm and she wouldn't get sick. He understood how much it meant to Kagome to learn how to use her powers but he didn't want her to overwork herself. He was upset to find her outside late at night in the cold, but was glad she wasn't working herself to death.
He knew that she had been crying even before he went to get her. The scent of salt was strong and there bond let him know what she was feeling. He decided it would be best to leave her alone and she would come inside, when she was ready like before but when an hour passed. He got worried and went out to get her only to find her sitting under a tree crying and hugging herself.
When he picked her up and carried her into the house, he realized it wasn't such a good idea to leave Kagome all alone. Anything could have happened to her and she wouldn't have been able to do anything. Since her guard was down and she was too busy crying to pay attention to anything. But all his fear and anger disappeared when Kagome started sobbing how sorry she was.
He couldn't help but forgive her but she never gave him the chance to say it. So eventually when he couldn't take it anymore and wanted to tell her. He kissed her stopping her from her sobbing and he told her he forgave her. He put his arms around her when she started to shiver, but he knew she needed more then that. So he got her a pair of clothes and made her change before pulling her into bed.
He wrapped her up in the blankets, his tail, and his arms. Kagome instantly warmed up and fell asleep Sesshomaru smiled and figured she was tried from the day. "Good night Kagome" Sesshomaru said kissing her on her forehead where a blue crescent moon was now. 'My best friend, my love, and my mate' Sesshomaru thought happy to see the moon before closing his eyes and falling asleep too.
