Kagome's strength was back to the way it once was. She had told Sesshomaru many times, but he would only say, "Lady Kagome your strength is not yet strong. You still have much to go though before you are ready to leave this place." She never understood his words. They only seemed to confuse the poor girl.
As of late the young Rin had been treating Kagome as though she was her mother. Rin loved the woman ever since Kagome had saved her, but that love had now grown stronger. Kagome had also fallen for the child, since she no longer had her young Shippo to care for, Rin was now the replacement. They would often go off into the garden where they would talk about small little things. One day Rin asked Kagome a heart felt question.
"Kagome… I know you like it here and all. Rin just is afraid that you'll leave one day and not come back. Would you do that?"
"No Rin. I'm finding it hard to even think of leaving. Its just that I have a family far form this wonderful place and they need me."
"Rin needs you too!"
"Oh, Rin…" Kagome hugged Rin and whispered into the silence, "I need you too."
They stayed for a bit longer till Rin was falling asleep. Kagome picked her up and carried her off to the young girls room. She then placed Rin on the bed, kissed her forehead, and then left her to her slumber.
Not really caring where she would end up Kagome wandered around the large home thinking of things that needed to be figured out. She wanted to go home and tell everyone that she was alright and that everything will be ok, but she couldn't leave. Her heart would be torn in two. The need to see her family and the love for this place. What was she going to do.
Kagome wasn't really looking where she was going. She was too lost in thought. So she walked into what seemed to be a wall, but in actuality it was the owner of the estate. After she ran into what she had, she just turned into the direction of the real wall.
'What is she doing?' Sesshomaru thought to himself.
When Kagome hit the real wall she snapped out of her trance. Looking about confused, she found her self blush when she saw Sesshomaru standing there. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to run into you. I was just lost in my thoughts."
"I see, well maybe you should sit down and think then. I find that the library is a nice place to do just that." He was about to walk away, when he turned to her and said, "I can show you where it is. Would you like that?"
"I would like that very much." Together they walked down the halls. Kagome was trying to remember everything they passed so she could get there on her own one day. Sesshomaru was watching her as they walked. He was in the lead and she was farther behind. 'She walks behind me just like a mate would. I find it odd that she would do such a thing. Had she done the same for my brother?' Trying to sake the thoughts form his head he ended up stealing glances at her again. 'Why do I think these thoughts around her? She is a mortal and I a demon lord. She has nothing to offer me as a lord, but as a lover… No I can not think of her like that. She is just a guest in my home.' They made it to the large oak doors that separated them form the library.
"Thank you for bringing me here." Kagome bowed and was about to enter when she was stopped by a strong male voice. "You may read any book you like. There is a sitting area in the far back corner." He said a far well and left her to watch his departure.
Kagome entered and closed the doors behind her. She then leaned against them. Holding her heart, she slid her back down the doors till she was on the ground. "Why dose my heart race when I look at him? He is Inuyasha's brother. They are the same in looks, yet Sesshomaru is so different." Kagome sighed and got up hoping to find a good book to read.
Rin had just finished one of her lessons for the day. She had one left and that one was not till after supper. She went off to look for Kagome. She first went to the garden in search for her. When Rin got there she found no sign of Kagome, so she sat on a bench that was in front of a flowering bush. "I wonder where she could be at? I thought after she had put me to bed she would just come back here, but I did have a lesson to go to. Maybe she is in her room"
Going to Kagome's room she found yet another empty place. Rin having to think harder of the hiding place of her Kagome, she sat down on the bed. She sat in silence for what seemed hours, but in all truth just a few minuets.
Unnoticed by the child, the window was slowly opening and a dark shadowy figure was entering through it. Rin sensed its presence and looked behind her. Her eyes widened as she screamed.
Kagome had heard a scream and was up and running in no time. Having to be warring a kimono, since her cloths had been ruined, she tore it up the leg to make it easier to run.
Sesshomaru had also heard the scream and knew it to be Rin's. He ran off in the direction he had just come from. Passing the library, he saw that the door was wide open and a sent so pure had recently been left behind. He fallowed it to Kagome's room. When he looked in he saw Rin looking out a window into the garden.
"Rin what is going on? Why did you scream?"
"Rin saw a demon, when Rin was sitting here on Kagome's bed. It was coming in though the window. That's why Rin screamed. Then Kagome came in and it fled to the garden. Kagome fallowed it."
A look of fear was placed on the demon lords face as he too went out the window to pursue the two. When he got there his eyes couldn't be leave what they saw. The demon was on the ground, but Kagome was not there. Another demon was.
That's all I'm going to write for now. I know you want to know what is going on and who this other demon is. Well you will have to wait till next time I am able to get another chapter done.
I like to say sorry for not posting another chapter in so long. Everyone says that they have lots of stuff going on and so do I.. I know that that's not good excuse anymore, but it's the truth. I will try to get another one up ASAP! I love you all and thanks for the REVIEWS! I always like to get them.
