Chapter 12: Change of Plans

1-2-06

Thx for the reviews and to that one person who said they didn't like what was going to happen…I'm glad to say….I'm making Sesshomaru change his mind. ENJOY!

Kaye felt different…wrong almost…she shouldn't be like this… She suddenly ran straight into a tree and fell backwards. She laid there for a long time, waiting for the pain in her head to subside. Everything about her returned to normal.

She hadn't gotten far, Inuyasha found her lying on the ground. What the hell is she doing…? He stepped forward, she didn't move, he thought she was hurt but he didn't smell any blood or anything…"Kaye…" He whispered walking even closer.

Kaye smelled something…it was Inuyasha…but he smelled so distant…and she heard him say her name…

"Kaye." Inuyasha sat at her side and brought her head to rest on his leg.

Her eyes were open but blank, as if no life remained in them. But her breathing remained normal.

"Kaye…" Inuyasha repeated her name and Kaye's eyes seem to brighten some.

"Inu…yasha…." Kaye sat up and turned to him, eyes full of tears.

"It's alright Kaye, what happened to you?"

"I ran into a tree." Kaye blushed mostly out of embarrassment.

"Happens to the best of us. Anyway…what happened back there, before you ran off…?"

"I don't know…hey what happened to that wolf guy…Kobe or whatever his name was…" Kaye looked around.

"He went back to his den, I told him that I'd come after you." Inuyasha stood up and held out his hand. "Now come on."

Kaye took his hand and they started back to the hut where they had lived, like father and daughter. "What do we do about that guy…he wanted me as his mate…"

"If he comes back for you I'll just kill him." Inuyasha put his arm around Kaye's shoulders.

Sesshomaru stood watching Taiuo play with Rin and annoy Jaken. I should kill him as soon as possible…though…he seems to keep Rin happy…I shall keep him around just long enough until Rin finds a suitable mate for herself and she can leave me… Sesshomaru turned and started walking.

Rin looked at him. "Lord Sesshomaru where are you going?"

"Going to find my daughter. Keep Taiuo safe with you." Sesshomaru ordered coldly then walked into the shadows.

Rin turned back to Taiuo who was looking confused and sad. "What is it Taiuo?"

"Father is always leaving me…why does he go off all of the time Lady Rin?"

Rin smiled sweetly. "Don't worry Taiuo; he just goes to fight danger to keep you safe." Rin lied. Jaken went off to fetch food and Ah-Un was resting nearby.

Inuyasha was carrying the now sleeping Kaye on his back when they reached the hut. He dropped her softly into the straw bed then sat in the corner, watching over her. I'll be your father, Kaye, I won't leave you, and I'll make sure you never think you're a mistake again…

Kaye rolled over in her sleep, holding Kyuri which Inuyasha had given back to her earlier.

Kaye's Dream

She was walking to her mother's grave just as Sesshomaru appeared in front of her. He walked up to her and grabbed her by her left shoulder. She yelled out, it felt as if her shoulder was on fire.

Sesshomaru seemed to smirk as he tightened his grip on her shoulder.

Kaye couldn't find her sword…her poison claws wouldn't work. She screamed as Sesshomaru withdrew tokojin and stabbed her stomach. He pulled the sword out, Kaye's blood staining the cold fang.

She couldn't breathe. She saw a woman with lt. blue hair and lt. green eyes, she was wearing the kimono Kaye now wore…"M-mother..?"

Sesshomaru then turned to Shay and also stabbed her. Then Kaye saw her mother fall into the grave, trying to grab something to keep her out but all she held was air.

Kaye began to sink into the ground. "No….NO…NO!"

End of Kaye's Dream

Kaye sat up in a cold sweat. What was that about? She looked around the hut to see Inuyasha asleep in a corner and Kirara in his lap. She smiled a little. I like this change of plans…it'll be good to have a father that cares…for all I know, a father is just someone who loves you for you no matter what…that's Inuyasha alright…

Yay! Another chapter done in the same day! I write really fast I think….well I won't have time to post for a long time because school starts again soon!
