Ch.16 Dealing With Matsunoshin

Sesshomaru woke when he sensed another demon. Kagome had also sensed the same demon, but she knew who it was. She looked at her tattered kimono. Since it was ripped straight down the middle, she easily wrapped it around her like a robe. She used her obi that had somehow survived to help keep it closed in the front.

Sesshomaru had got dress as she was getting dress. He came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist pulling her into his chest. She looked at him for awhile just to see what he was up too.

"It is ok Shippo," Kagome said as she looked at the bushes she knew he was hiding in.

"You really did mate," Shippo asked as he stepped out from the bushes.

"Don't you know you should mind your own business," Sesshomaru snarled.

"Sesshomaru, this is Shippo," Kagome growled at him in a warning to drop it," I am looking after him since his parents died. So, get use to it."

Kagome pushed away from Sesshomaru, and walked over and picked Shippo up. Sesshomaru let out a low snarl. He didn't care if the demon was a kid. He was still a male.

Kagome shot a glare at Sesshomaru. She didn't care how pissed he got she was still going to hold the child. He could sulk for all she cared. Sesshomaru was far from sulking. If another male came, he was going to kill them.

"Let's return back to the castle," Kagome said as she gave him a smile.

Sesshomaru nodded and turned to leave. He came face to face with Matsunoshin. Sesshomaru let out a roar which meant: Get the hell out of my sight!

Matsunoshin just snarled at him. He could see the kit in Kagome's arms. That was the demon that had tricked him twice. He also noticed how close it was to Kagome.

"So Sesshomaru," sneered Matsunoshin as he looked at Sesshomaru," You got out done by that demon."

"This Sesshomaru does not get out done," Sesshomaru stated," Kagome is merely taking care of the kit."

"You are Lord Matsunoshin," Kagome asked.

"That is not important," Sesshomaru said as he launched him self at Matsunoshin with his claws ready.

The fight was soon under way. Matsunoshin had managed to dodge the first attack, but wasn't as lucky as Sesshomaru got him on the second time. Matsunoshin landed a single blow to Sesshomaru's chest.

Sesshomaru finally unleashed his poison whip on Matsunoshin. There was no chance of him surviving. He was instantly split in two. Soon, there was only dust left behind that was blown away by the wind.

"Why did you do that," yelled Kagome.

"Because he wanted to take you away from Sesshomaru," Shippo said," He was thinking nasty about you Kagome."

"Oh," Kagome whispered," I didn't know."

Sesshomaru pulled his mate into his arms. Shippo had moved to the ground to allow them to hug. Shippo was glad that this man Lord Sesshomaru had gotten Kagome. That other guy had made him completely sick.

"You two better not start anything," Shippo said as he noticed that their friendly kissing started to become too friendly for his liking.

Kagome started to laugh. Sesshomaru gave the kit a glare that promised death, but that death would never be fulfilled. Shippo was soon back in Kagome's arms as they again started their journey home.

They had stopped at Kaede's to say good-bye. She told them to take care. Kagome had asked her to come, but she said no. Shippo promised they would come and visit. Kagome had a tearful good-bye. Sesshomaru reminded her she was a demon and should not cry. She told him to shut up.
