In the morning, Kagome, Rin and Sesshomaru dine together before heading out to the well for more material. They are all very silent, as they did not want to remind him that they were leaving and Kagome was going to be out of reach for one full day. Kagome got up first and headed to the veranda off of the study, a cup of steaming tea in her hands as she watched the sun start to peek out of the clouds. Sesshomaru followed her silently and Rin decided that they needed some time alone so she took her tea to the other side of the room and she sat down on a chaise and waited to be called upon.
Sesshomaru laid a hand on her shoulder and she smiled.
"I will miss you while I am gone my dear."
"You will not be gone long, you told me one day and I will hold you to that."
"I know and I will return at the end of the day today with the things that I needed."
"I will make sure that your friends keep going on the curtains."
"Sesshomaru?"
"Yes Kagome."
"Tell me something."
"Anything."
"If you had not courted me months ago, would you still be alone with no one to love?"
"Probably."
"Oh. What was it like to be so alone?"
"I had Jaken and Rin to keep me company."
"I mean without love?"
"I was a different demon back then Kagome. Times were rough and wars were all around us. I had to be cold and ruthless back then to survive."
"Tell me something else Sesshomaru."
"Yes Kagome."
"Why did you take Rin in with you years ago?"
"She tried to help me get well after InuYasha had found the power in the tetsusaiga. I was badly wounded and she tried to help me so much. The day that she came to be beaten and bruised, her scent was of apples that day. Happy and carefree, no hint of fear when she came to me. But when I asked her about what had happened to her, fear enveloped her like a blanket and I felt sorry for her. For even a human child to beginning her life and to see her beaten like that was disheartening even for a cold demon like me. And when I smelt her blood in the air later on and seeing her face down in the dirt dead, the tenseiga told me to revive her and I did."
"And that was the reason you took her in?"
"I felt that I had to protect her life. She had no one at the time and she wouldn't even speak to anyone; her life was nothing but turmoil at the time and I thought that while traveling with me, she might have a better life than wandering alone in the dark."
Kagome wrapped her arms around him and embraced him tightly.
"Even your love during that time was endless, to save a human girl for no reason but remorse for her is very compassionate."
He took his hand and placed it under her chin, bringing her face up to look at him.
"Kagome, compassion was for the weak but now I have found that compassion only makes this demon stronger. Now, you must leave with Kouga and Ah Un. You will ride in the carriage on the way there and on the way back. There are warm blankets in there to wrap up in since the wind is chilly today. Please wrap another hiatori around the both of you before leaving, I do not want coldness to spread throughout the palace when you come home to me."
"Sesshomaru, I will always come home to you."
Sesshomaru bent down and kissed her gently. Rin saw them and was amazed that he would show such love out in the open to his mate, his future wife for he had never done that before. But she had seen how different he has acted since she has been here. He had always been compassionate towards her but never showed his feelings to her even when they were alone. Rin smiled, as she knew that was her cue to go by them, like a family watching the sunrise for the day. The day that she was going to see her love once again quickly before departing once again.
Sesshomaru turned to Rin when he saw her come to them and he wrapped an arm around her in a hug. She hugged him back as he placed a kiss on her forehead where Sota's insignia was going to shine brightly.
"Please mind Kagome when you are shopping for things for you today. You have much to do and things are going to take some time but remember this."
"Yes Sesshomaru-sama?"
"Have fun today." Sesshomaru said with a small smile on his usual unemotional face.
Rin smiled and hugged him harder, "I will Sesshomaru-sama, and I will behave like you want me to."
"Ok, now go and put on another hiatori so you do not catch a chill while you are out today."
"Alright."
"We will meet you at the front door after you are ready."
"Yes Sesshomaru-sama." Rin said as she flew out of the room, slamming the door. Both Kagome and Sesshomaru winced when she did this. But knew that she was ever so excited to be going to her time once again.
Kagome and Sesshomaru chuckled as the girl left and they headed for the door to their bedchambers to grab Kagome's things. When they got there, her old yellow backpack was sitting out. Kagome went and grabbed it and noticed that there were things inside. She opened it and found a rose, she took it out and placed it in her hair; she then started digging in there some more and found coins for the trust fund and for her shopping. She turned around to face Sesshomaru and tell him thank you for putting the stuff together for her and when she turned around, he was holding out his favorite hiatori to her. She went to him and he placed it on her shoulders, she put her arms through it and brought the material to her nose. His scent was all over it, the slight sweet but piney scent that was Sesshomaru. She wrapped it tightly around her and hugged him.
"Thank you Sesshomaru for getting my things ready for me and for your hiatori. I know that this is your favorite one."
"It is to keep my favorite woman warm."
Kagome grabbed the back of his head and brought his lips to hers in a passionate kiss. He growled at her and she pulled back slowly. Her eyes still closed as she took in his taste into her mouth, remembering what it tasted like; remembering his scent as they stood there in each other's arms. He went and grabbed her backpack and they walked down to the front door of the palace, their hands interwoven together as they reached the door and the anxious Rin. All 3 of them went out the front door, hands linked to each other; they made their way down the long stairway to the carriage. Sesshomaru looked at Kouga and he nodded. Kouga nodded in return and opened the door for Rin and Kagome. Sesshomaru once again kissed Rin on the forehead before letting her into the carriage. He embraced Kagome and turned her away from Kouga as he kissed her deeply. He helped her into the carriage and closed the door behind her.
"Kouga go swift and safe. The air is colder and the longer time you take, the colder it is going to get. Stay there until they return then speed swiftly back here."
"Yes Lord Sesshomaru. I will do this for you."
"You have the food that Solarhi gave you?"
"Yes, it is packed in the back."
"Good, now go. I wish to have them both back here before sun down."
Kouga nodded and got up on Ah Un and then they were off. Kagome peeked out of the back of the carriage as they rose into the sky slowly. She could see Sesshomaru's eyes glaze over with ice to hide his emotions. Once again he was alone and she could not do anything to stop it. The ride to the well was quiet and quick. Kagome really thought that it usually took longer to get there but for some reason it was like she blinked and they were there already. Kouga came to the door and opened it for them.
"Kouga, go away. You are not a servant and we are not royalty so quit acting like this with us."
"I am sorry. I just still feel that you should be treated like a queen Kagome."
"Kouga, thank you for saying that but honestly, please do not."
Kagome got out of the carriage without his help and Rin soon followed. She went to the back of the carriage and grabbed her backpack and slung it over her shoulder. She swung her legs over the edge of the well, Rin doing the same. Kagome looked over at Kouga who was standing there petting Ah Un.
"Kouga, please stay warm while we are gone. And get some sleep, you look like hell." Kagome yelled just before she grabbed Rin's hand and they fell down into the blue light of time travel.
Kouga stood there while he watched her disappear. He was going to yell something back at her but she was gone before he could get it out. He smiled and went into the carriage to eat something and yes, get some sleep. He was not sleeping much lately and so he decided that a crew and him were going to work on the houses at night as well. Aiayme had voiced her opinion on him not getting much sleep and he kept telling her that it was nothing when it really was something. Kagome was still in his mind and he could not get her out. It was like when they were all traveling together and he would leave her with InuYasha. She was always on his mind then like she is now. He thought that maybe it was just because they were in the same house now for a while and that is what contributed to these feelings to arise once again. That and she was more beautiful now then she was back then. The look of her silver hair with pink in it was so distracting. The way that the wind played through it, tossing it in all directions and her smiling face sitting there. He still loved her just not as much since Sesshomaru has taken her. He ate his breakfast that Sesshomaru's servant prepared for him and he wrapped up in one of the blankets. He inhaled deeply and found Kagome's scent on it. He soon was asleep with nothing on his mind.
Kagome and Rin arrived at 8 am her time in the well. They climbed out and went to the house, and found that it was quiet. She had not warned anyone of their arrival so she expected this. Until she heard tons of footsteps running to the stairs. She looked up and saw Sota standing there, his hair a mess and his sleeping pants on him.
"Sota, what are you doing still sleeping?" Kagome asked him.
"I was just laying there wondering what all I have to do today. I smelled your scents here and I came running."
"Well you could have put some clothes on."
Sota looked down at what he was wearing and he blushed and rushed back to his room for his robe. Kagome looked at Rin and she was just standing there, her hands at her sides and a slight blush on her face.
"I am going to get some coffee, would you like some?"
"Um sure. Thanks Kagome."
Kagome went into the kitchen and Rin just stood there at the bottom of the stairs. She remembered what he looked like standing there. His bare chest standing out for everyone to see. The roundness of his shoulders, the muscles underneath twitching on their own; his muscular arms that are now thicker than she remembered when they were wrapped around her. The slimness of his waist, his stomach tight and muscular; you could see all of his muscles in his stomach as they stood out and said hi to you. His slender hips encased in the cotton of his bed pants, yet you still could see how nicely shaped his legs are. His hands at his sides, his soft and gentle hands that made her melt when he touched her. And even his hair going out in every direction, he still looked beautiful.
Rin was standing at the bottom of the stairs, her hands entwined with each other. He looked down at her and saw her play with her hands as he slowly made his way down the stairs to greet her properly. He now donned his robe and he combed his hair and brushed his teeth. He did not think of seeing her today but was happy no matter what condition he was in. He wrapped his hands over hers and she calmed down, she looked up at him and he smiled at her.
"Good morning Rin."
"Good morning Sota. I am sorry that we came barging in here but we have to go to town again."
"I am happy to see you again."
"I am too. Kagome is in the kitchen getting coffee, would you like to join us?"
"Sure, I think that I could use some." Sota said smiling. He let go of her hand and kept the other one as they walked into the kitchen. Kagome turned around and saw that they were holding hands once again. She smiled and embraced her brother tightly, he hugged her back with one hand; the other one still connected to Rin.
"We all need to go to town soon. I need more material and we have to open that trust fund for the house."
Sota's eyes got large, "So he told you?"
"Yeah of course! Why wouldn't he?"
"Does Rin know?"
"Wait, what are you talking about Sota?"
"I was talking about the trust fund that he wanted me to open for Rin and I."
Kagome's eyes got large and she put her hand to her chest. "A dowry?"
"Yeah."
Kagome looked at Rin and she looked scared. Apparently Rin had no idea about this either and is just as surprised as she was.
"Well, he did not tell me about a dowry but only told me about the trust fund for the house for the bills."
"Oh. Well we can get that together today as well."
Sota let go of Rin's hand and went to grab some coffee. Kagome looked at Rin with surprised eyes and Rin shrugged her shoulders. Sota got his cup of coffee and walked to Rin and gave her a kiss on the cheek.
"Let me down this coffee and shower and I will be down in a bit so we can leave." Sota said as he turned the corner up the stairs. Kagome and Rin sat down at the dining table while they waited for Sota to get ready for the day.
It was not long when he came down, his hair still wet and his face now clean-shaven with some nice clothes on.
"I am ready, are you guys?" He asked.
"Yes, I think that we are." Rin said quietly.
Sota smiled and got his shoes and jacket on. They went out to the garage and hopped in his car, Rin was next to him with Kagome in the back. They headed for town first to the bank to open the trust funds. On the way there, Rin noticed an envelope with her name on it. She picked it up and looked at it. Sota noticed that she found it before he could throw it away.
"Kirgoua dropped that off to me the other day for you." Sota said sternly.
Rin smiled and opened it. Reading it carefully she squealed.
"What does it say Rin?" Sota asked.
"Rin, who is sending you letters from here?" Kagome requested.
"Kagome, Kirgoua is a distant cousin of Kouga!"
"What!"
"Kirgoua is a friend of mine from school. We met some of my friends when we were out after the movie. Rin mentioned to him that he looked like Kouga and he decided to look back in his families records." Sota explained.
"Ahhh."
"And he found that there was a Kouga in the name list way back in our time Kagome! He is part demon too!"
"Well, we don't know for sure if he is or not. Remember, we did not know until Kagome mated with Sesshomaru." Sota said.
"Oh that is true. But what if he was part wolf! Kagome, this could be very exciting!"
"I think that we better approach this one carefully." Kagome said.
"Yes, I think we should." Sota said with some anger in his voice. Rin picked up on it quickly and put her hand on top of his. He looked at her and smiled. Kagome could tell that his demon side had already claimed her and he was not pleased to see that the letter was found.
"OH SOTA! You missed the material shop that I wanted to go to!" Kagome whined.
"I am sorry." He said as he turned the car around and parked. They all went inside and Kagome got to buy all the material that she wanted. They then started heading for the bank and did their business there. The whole time that they were there, Kagome noticed that Sota was always in contact with Rin. Kagome smiled at this because she is now the same way with Sesshomaru. She loves always staying in contact with him when they are together.
"Kagome, are you ok?" Rin asked while they were eating ramen at a local shop.
Kagome shook her head and looked at Rin and Sota. "I am sorry, I guess that I just blanked out for a minute there."
Rin looked at Kagome, "Are you sure that you are alright Kagome?"
"Yes, I am fine. Now that we are done with the bank, the only thing that we have left to get is some bathing supplies and that is it." Kagome said smiling.
"Yes, I really like that Lavender one that we had last time." Rin said excitedly.
Sota nodded his head as he had a mouthful of ramen. Rin and Kagome laughed at him. They sat there for a while and ate in peace. Kagome could not stop thinking about how they were starting to get closer and closer to each other. Just little subtle things that they were doing. Like how she pointed out to him that he had ramen on his chin and she finally wiped it away when he could not find the right spot. How he looks at her, right in her eyes, his feelings worn on his sleeve when it came to her.
"Lady Rin, it is nice to see you again."
Rin, Sota, and Kagome turned to the voice that spoke to them. Kirgoua was standing behind them, amazed that she was back in town.
"I thought that you were not coming to visit us again Rin?" He asked.
Kagome noticed that Sota stiffened up at the presence of his friend. She was right; he does look like Kouga so much. His eyes and his way of holding himself. He is just like Kouga when he still wanted me to be his mate.
"Oh! Kirgoua it is you! I am happy to see that you are here. I got your missive from Sota. Thank you for that by the way." Rin said happily.
Sota wrapped an arm around her as she talked, wanting to take her away from him.
"Yes, it is quite the surprise that you are here. I thought that you were starting college this week Kirgoua." Sota said icily.
"I am starting a week late because of family issues. There are things that we found out when I was looking things up that have caused some problems."
"I am sorry for your misfortune Kirgoua. I do hope that things are to go better for you." Kagome said.
Kirgoua looked at her, his arms across his chest with question on his face.
"Have I met you before? You seem so familiar to me."
"I do not believe so, I am out of town with Rin and came with her to see Sota." Kagome said.
Sota looked at her with relief. She did not look like his sister anymore since the change but thankful for her on being so discrete on the matter.
"Rin, how are you doing since the last time that we met?" Kirgoua said while he sat down next to her. Sota clearly not happy because of that. Kagome shot him a look and he nodded.
"Kirgoua, was it a Lord Kouga that was part of your family? And what time period was it?" Kagome asked.
"Oh. It was during the warring era, the feudal age. He was a lord in fact, a great one but there was no mention of the wolf tribe that you were speaking of Rin. Actually what is making us all wonder is what he was a lord of actually. There was an alliance between our family and the Tashido family long ago. There was some information on it but not much. The writings were smeared but we found out that the Tashido households were great friends with us. I am still finding out more about that family but there is no word on them anywhere that I can find."
"Oh thank god." Kagome breathed.
"What do you mean by that? I am sorry but what is your name again?" Kirgoua asked.
Kagome looked at Sota and then Rin as she smiled, "My name is Kagura. I do apologize for not telling you earlier. That was rude of me."
"Kagura…. Kagura. There was a mention of a Kagura in the family scrolls but it said that she was an evil presence. I do not think that since you carry her name that you are evil. Strikingly beautiful but not evil. I cannot smell anything evil about you."
"Smell? What do you mean?" Kagome asked raising one of her white eyebrows.
"Sometimes with some people, when I breathe near them they smell of different things. For instance, Rin here." He closed his eyes and breathed in deep and smiled. "She has the slight tinge of fear on her, like salt; but underneath that smell there is the scent of lavender and the sweet smell of cinnamon."
Kagome looked at him and smiled. "So you are able to scent them out with your nose?"
"Yes, I can tell when people are scared, frightened, happy or sad. I cannot explain it but this is how I am."
"Tell me Kirgoua, can you hear things very well, like at distances?"
"Sometimes, but not all the time."
"Interesting."
"Kirgoua, what are you doing today?" Sota said quickly.
"Oh! I am shopping for my mother. Trying to find something that will make her happy."
"Kirgoua, go to the shop down the street to the west. They have a necklace that is emerald green and white. The pendant is that color of a rose."
"Thank you Kagura. Those are my families colors."
"I am sure that they are your families insignia also. Now Rin, Sota I think that it is time to go now." Kagome said.
"Yes, I would have to say that we need to finish our things. You guys have to leave soon." Sota said.
Sota and Rin went to go and pay the bill and Kagome stood up. Kirgoua looked at her and then snapped his fingers, "You are not Kagura, you are Kagome. You are Sota's older sister, I knew that I knew you before." He said.
She looked at him and squinted her eyes, "And I know that you are part wolf demon, and I also know that you have always known about it."
He looked at her shocked, "How did you know?"
"Kirgoua, you hold all the same features and characteristics of a demon. Believe me, I am getting married to one. Stay away from Rin, I am only warning you now. I know how your family traits are Kirgoua. Believe me, I have met your ancestor Kouga. He has chosen the right path and is staying good friends with me and my soon to be husband, I think that you should follow him and just stay friends with these two. I do not want any sparing over her."
"You have met Kouga? That is not possible. He was in the feudal era and we are not living in that anymore. Where do you and Rin come from? What time period exactly?"
"We come from the feudal era."
"But Kagome, you are Sota's sister, there is no way that you are from that era, you are from here."
"I was helping one of the Tashido boys in finding the Shikon no Tama since I shattered it years ago. And now I live there with the eldest of the Tashido brothers."
"InuYasha was his name wasn't it? You used to bring him here earlier. He wore a red old fashioned kimono."
"InuYasha is the youngest of the family. And yes, he would come over here with me because he would get worried if I took too long."
"So you are marrying him?"
"No, I am marrying his elder brother Sesshomaru."
"Lord Sesshomaru of the Western Lands! That Sesshomaru!"
"Yes, he was here with us just the other week."
"Are you serious? I mean he was supposed to be the coldest demon of all Japan!"
"Will you keep your voice down? This discussion is now over. Stay away from Rin and you will not have to deal with Lord Sesshomaru or me later. You will also stay quiet on this. Do you understand what would happen if most of the families of Japan found out that they were demon? We would be in the warring era again and I am not willing to change this time period. Now, do you understand?"
Kirgoua stood there and he nodded his head. Kagome's eyes were starting to get hot pink as Rin and Sota came back. Rin looked at her and then at Kirgoua. Sota looked at him and his eyes were now dark blue as he glared down at Kirgoua. Kirgoua looked at Sota and felt the change in his childhood friend, his eyes were now green.
He stared down Sota, "Kagome, I will not tell a soul about our discussion but I will be damned if I am going to stand down and not try to win Rin's heart."
Sota growled deep in his throat, "She is my woman Kirgoua and you need to realize that she is going to be with me."
"She will never be yours, we have a distant past together and you live in this time, she knows my family and she always will, I will have her Sota. I will." He said with a smile on his face. He went and took Rin's hand and kissed the top of it and then looked deep into her eyes. "I am sorry that you have to see this display of manliness between Sota and I. But I will assure you Lady Rin, that I will make this up to you soon."
And with that he was out the door. Kagome looked at Rin, "Yeah he definitely is like Kouga isn't he Rin?"
"I think that I was just challenged for Rin's hand." Sota said as he looked at her.
"Sota, he is not the only one that wants Rin, Shippo came to our bedchambers the other night asking for Rin's hand. Sesshomaru instantly turned him down because you were already courting her and he said that he was going to fight for her. So, now we have a problem. Because according to all rules of royalty, I have to bring him to our era so you can officially fight for Rin."
"So you have to bring Kirgoua to our ear and he is going to meet his family and Kouga of that time? Oh Kagome, I just don't know about this."
"There is an upside to this whole thing Rin." Sota said as they started walking out of the restaurant with Rin's hand in his. "If he comes to your era with Kagome to challenge me as a Lord, which he will not be since Kouga is in existence there, maybe before the challenge, Kouga can talk to him. Talk some sense into him before he makes a huge mistake."
"You are right Sota, I guess that I had not thought of it that way." Rin said. She looked up and looked at Kagome, "Oh Kagome, what are we going to do?"
"We are going home soon to let Sesshomaru know what happened here. Sota, watch you back while you are here, I will check back soon to find out how the things are going here to see if you can come back earlier than expected. Then soon after the wedding, we will come here and accept his verbal challenge but he has to present the challenge to Lord Sesshomaru. We will deal with this Sota, but while you are over there, you have to train hard. Kirgoua has always known that he is demon, I confronted him on it and he said nothing. Now how long has he been working with his powers and what are his powers? That I will have to ask Kouga on when we get back."
"Kagome, lets get your bath stuff and go home. I am feeling rather uneasy in the city today." Sota explained.
Kagome and Rin agreed and they went and got their things. Sota drove them home in time for dinner. Kagome told her that she was not hungry and she took her bow and arrow out to the backyard with a gas mask on. She started shooting her arrows and Sota was watching her from the window. Sheer determination was on her face and anger was present in her eyes. The targets were being automatically brought up by her power. An inner power that she did not know was there. After each target was set up, her arrows brought it back down. She then used her power for the target to come at her and she defended herself with one of her arrows, using it close to being a knife. Her movements were like liquid as she moved around the backyard. Rin came over to him by the window and wrapped her arms around him, resting her head on his shoulder.
"She looks beautiful when she trains don't she?"
"Yes, I had no idea that she worked this hard to train. When her and InuYasha would visit, they would just relax and she would go to school. She would never train like this."
"Sesshomaru-sama taught her those moves and those tactics with her powers the other day. He wanted to make sure that his future lady of the Western Lands were able to defend herself in time of war or attack."
"It seems like Sesshomaru was very helpful in teaching everyone how to defend themselves."
"He still refuses for me to learn though. He said that soon I would have powers that I could not explain and that will be the time that Kagome teaches me some things."
"That is right, the blood ceremony at the wedding. I almost forgot. You are going to have powers that are close to Kagome's."
"Yes and I am very scared about this. I do not know if I can do this."
"You will do it. I will be there for support. As long as you do not hurt me!" Sota said laughing. Rin looked at him and started laughing.
He turned around and hugged her, he did not want to let go at that moment and she closed her eyes.
"Sota, I want you to court me for marriage. I have made up my mind and really do want you to do this."
He looked at her and smiled. "We will have to tell Lord Sesshomaru of our intentions then."
"We will tell him after the wedding. For now, we will have the knowledge just for us."
He smiled and then kissed her cheek. He was so happy on how things were going and knew that she was briefly scared when he challenged Kirgoua earlier. But he knew at that moment that he did not want to lose her to anything. Especially demons like him. He then understood why Sesshomaru acted the way that he did when Kouga was always there.
Kagome walked towards the door and saw them in a hug. She smiled as she decided that she would go through the front way to get to the shower. When she got to the front yard, Kirgoua was there. She got very angry and looked at him with her hands on her hips.
"What the hell are you doing here Kirgoua?"
"I just wanted to say goodbye to you and Rin."
"Get the fuck out of here right now."
Sota opened the door, his ears twitching on top of his head as he glared at Kirgoua.
"What the fuck are you doing here?" Sota said with ice dripping off of each word.
Kagome looked at her brother, understanding that he is very much like Sesshomaru.
"I came here to say goodbye to Lady Rin and Lady Kagome."
"You will not see Lady Rin." Sota demanded.
Kirgoua transformed at this comment. Waves of power rushing around him as his ears became apparent on his head, his insignia showing brightly on his forehead, the fangs coming out more, his nails growing to points, and a small tail coming out from his pants. Kirgoua was a wolf demon, but thankful for only being a hanyou. Sota watched the transformation and slowly transformed himself further. His ears getting slightly larger, his fangs becoming longer and larger, the stripes showing on his cheeks and his hands, his tail wrapping over his shoulder and his insignia shining brightly on his forehead. Kagome could feel the jaki that was flying around the front yard; she transformed and raised her jaki over both the men standing before her. Her eyes were now bright pink as she walked in between them. Her tail lashing around, "You will stop this or I will lose control." She demanded, poison hissing from her nails.
"I will not until I see Lady Rin." Kirgoua demanded.
Kagome lost it then. She raised her jaki so high that her body was pulsating. Waves of power came off her in all directions, her hair swishing around all about her, her tail out straight behind her, her face slowly getting longer as her body grew in size. Hair started showing in all places on her body as her clothes were shredded. There was a flash of hot pink light and then suddenly, a large and loud growl came from the spot where Kagome was. When the dust settled a large white and pink fox was before them. Her drool was coming out of her mouth and as it touched the driveway, it melted and hissed away. She looked at the night sky and howled loudly. Her fire insignia clear on her forehead, the stripes all over her body stood out against the bright white. She tapped her nails as she stood there looking at Kirgoua. Sota looked at her with pure fear on his face, as did Kirgoua. Kirgoua started to step away down the driveway and she followed him, her eyes never leaving his.
"You will not tell anyone of this Kirgoua. Do not come here until we send you a missive." Sota said sternly.
Kirgoua turned around and left, running down the driveway quickly. Kagome turned to Sota and transformed back into her humanoid form. There was another flash of bright pink light as she did this and then she stood before him. She said nothing as she walked to the house and got Rin. Rin saw everything through the window with mother next to her. Mother followed them to the well shrine, Sota still in the driveway.
Kagome turned to her mother, "We will come in 2 weeks time."
She then turned around and went into the well shrine, Rin behind her. They went through the well and disappeared. Mother went to Sota who was standing in the driveway, "Sota are you ok?"
"Yes I am. I have never seen Kagome so mad before." He said quietly.
"I know. We must make sure that never happens here in this time again."
Both of them walked into the house to finish things before going to bed. Sota lay on his bed thinking of what had happened today. He was indeed happy that he was able to see Rin again but he was now deathly afraid of his own sister. Clearly she was much stronger than him now since mating with Sesshomaru and he wanted to make sure that she was never going to have to do that again for him. He also knew that Kirgoua was much stronger than he was also. He had made a decision that he was going to train hard with Sesshomaru any time that he was able. This was a vow that he held for himself.
