Chapter 4 - Returning Home

Sesshoumaru stared at her with utter confusion. How on earth was her a demon let alone the Lord of Demon Paradise?

"Your not joking are you?"

Sesshoumaru said and Kagome shook her head no.

"Look Sesshoumaru I hate to tell you this but if you don't transform soon you'll stay human for ever, and that means I'll out live you."

Kagome said and sesshoumaru just stared at her.

"Do what you must."

Sesshoumaru said and with a bright smile Kagome nodded and muttered some words.

A bright light engulfed him just as it had engulfed him years ago but this time he didn't fade he rose into the air and felt his whole body tingle. His ears pointed like elven ears, two red strips appeared on each cheek and a cresent moon appeared on his forehead and his hair became a beautiful silver.

As the light faded Kagome blinked and turned her head to the side,a deep blush raced across her cheeks.

"Wow, he's georgous!" Kagome thought completely avoiding his gaze.

"What's wrong?"

Sesshoumaru asked cocking his head to the side and Kagome shook her head violently.

"Nothing! Nothings wrong."

She said her whole face turning a deeper red, the color of an apple.

"You're face looks like an apple!"

Sesshoumaru laughed.

Kagome thought her face could go no redder but he sure proved her wrong.

"Shut up, you idiot!"

She screeched out, hiding her face in her hands.

Sesshoumaru continued to laugh as he figured out how to conceal his demon form from others. Slowly he stopped his laughing and grabbed her hand.

"Do you want to dance?"

Kagome nodded as her face lost it's hot rush, but she was still embarrased. As they danced Kagome realized they would have to return to Demon Paradise now. She tried not to let her distress be known but Sesshoumaru was just to good.

"What's wrong?"

Kagome sighed as she wrapped her arms around herself. Not wanting to say the things she knew would happen.

"We have to return to Demon Paradise."

Sesshoumaru raised an eyebrow.

"And what's wrong with that?"

He asked and Kagome took a deep breath.

"I have to face my father, I'm deathly afraid of him. Even as a child I watched my father kill innocent demons and humans just to see them bleed to death. After saving you and coming here he's liable to try and dispose of me like he did my mother."

Tears whelled up in her eye's but she refused to let them fall. A growl sounded and Kagome looked up at Sesshoumaru.

"He will not touch you in any harmful manor. I already want to slit his throat for killing my father, if he hurt you he would die slow and painfully."

He said those words with such malice it made Kagome shiver in fear. Not of him, no never, but of the things he could do to her father. Wipping her eye's quickly she noticed the time was well aftre midnight and she had to go somewhere tomorrow. Bowing to Sesshoumaru she told him it was time for her to return home.

"I'll take you."

He said grabbing her hand and leading her out the door and into the parking lot. As he reached the spot where he parked his car, he didn't see a car, but he did see a heap of a mess. Someone had completely anialated his car! Kagome gasped and was suddenly pulled from his grip. He turned quickly but there was no sign of her.

"Finally, we can have some fun." A voice rang threw the air and Sesshoumaru heard a muffled scream coming from the direction he was facing.

"Crap, I can't see a thing!"

Sesshoumaru said running towards the muffled voice of Kagome.

"Oh, Sesshoumaru help! I would use my fox abilities but their humans!" Kagome thought as she thrashed in the hold of a strong male. She tried her best to scream but they had gagged her with something that smelt horrible. She didn't even want to know with what! A shiver ran down her spine just thinking about it.

 Kagome thought as she thrashed in the hold of a strong male. She tried her best to scream but they had gagged her with something that smelt horrible. She didn't even want to know with what! A shiver ran down her spine just thinking about it.

A hand slowly began stroking her arm and Kagome tensed, if they went any further than stroking her arm she wouldn't care what happened she would be loose in a second and have them pinned frightened to a tree. Oh, they were so testing her patience, the guys hand got to the top of her shoulder and would follow the line down to her elbow then back up.

"Can't we mess with her now!"

A voice whinned and Kagome closed her eye's tightly. Her eye's flew open when the hand ventured to her collar bone and down the middle of her body. She suddenly pulled out of their gripps and broke free of the bonds they had placed upon her hands and tore the fabric out of her mouth.

"You do not touch me!"

Her voice was slow and steady but held so much evil she heard then scamper and run off before she could even pin one to a tree.

"Kagome!"

Sesshoumaru's voice reached her ears and she followed the voice to him.

"Sesshoumaru, what took you? I can't rely on you to save me."

She playfully whinned and acted like she was crying.

"Oh, Kagome I didn't know where they took you it's so dark."

Sesshoumaru tried to explain.

"Dark my ass, your a demon!"

Kagome said grabbing his hand and walking to her house while dragging him along, talking about their plans to return to Demon Paradise tomorrow; After she finished doing what she had to do.

When they reached her house Kagome pushed the door open and flopped onto her bed. Moaning as she reached the bed she quickly pulled the covers over her and fell asleep after saying good-night to Sesshoumaru.

Sesshoumaru stared stunned at how quick she fell asleep, shaking his head he whispered good-night and left the house to go to his own. His thoughts turned to the events of tonight and he sighed. How on earth is he the Lord of a place he's only been to once in his life time? He doesn't even know how to lead a group of people, let alone all of Demon Paradise! But his return there will mean he will be able to dispose of the demon that killed his father.

Kagome stretched as she woke from her slumber, remembering what it was she had to do she quickly got out of bed and took a shower. As she washed her hair she smiled and began to hum a poem that she had heard from her mother and she slowly began to sing the poem aloud.

In a world of difference, You are my best friend, And I'll love you till the end, No matter what everyone will say, Just listen to what has been each and every day.

As she finished, she emerged from the shower and got dressed. She needed to hurry up so she could get over with the journey home later. But first she had to go to a place where someone had knocked down all the Sakura trees. She needed to replace them and quick. As she headed out the door she transformed and ran about three miles before she came to where she needed to be. She closed her eye's as she shook her head. Not a single tree stood they were all leaned over or cut down.

Re-transforming Kagome closed her eye's once again and she began to glow and so did all of the trees, as sakura petals fell from the sky. Each tree that was leaned over was suddenly straight again. And every tree that was cut down was replaced and the fallen ones disappeared. Smiling Kagome nodded and all the petals ceased to fall and she turned around and headed back to her house.

On her way home she ran into the person she was going home to wait for, Sesshoumaru.

"Hey, you ready to go?"

Sesshoumaru said and she nodded.

"Good, let's go."

He said and they walked until they reached the river that was so familiar to him.

Kagome gulped and grabbed his hand, as her father came to her mind. Shivering she loked up at him.

"Time to go." She said and he nodded as she then muttered the same incantation she had used to bring him here, she just reworded it a bit.

OK, I'm back!
