Nas ne Dagoniat

Doing a complete 360. Kagome smiled when she looked to InuYasha who was also in awe at the scene before him.

'This is going to be the best memory of my life!' Kagome thought. Oh how wrong she would be.

An all too familiar voice stirred her from her musings. Causing her to whirl around.

"Aw… but lord Sesshoumaru, Jaken wont let me go ride the pony…Will you take me?" Rin asked looking up at her lord.

"OUT RAGIOUS! LORD SESSHOUMARU WOULD NEVER DO THAT! YOU UNWORTHY BRAT, YOU! THE ONLY REASON HE IS STUCK HERE IS BECAUSE YOU WANTED TO-"

"Jaken…enough." A cold voice stated.

"Y-yes m' lord." He said getting on his knees and bowing a few times.

"YOU!" InuYasha growled behind Kagome.

"Well, well, well what do we have here? Hello Little brother, I've been meaning to talk to you."

Ah…welcome back young one. I hope you have had a restful sleep. I did not think that my old tale would interest you that much. What? It is a fascinating fairy tale…well thank you but nay this is no fairy tale tis' a true tale. I know for a fact this happened. How you ask? Well know this…All will become clear in due time my child. In due time…

All activities within the village square stopped. Only the wind wove it's way between buildings.

A low thrum met the villager's ears. InuYasha bowed his head, growling, his right hand gripped Tetsaiga so hard his knuckles began to turn pale a peach.

"InuYasha…Don't do this. Not know…you two are allies." Kagome heard herself whisper. Surprising even herself.

Kagome felt InuYasha's haroi brush against her shoulder as he stomped passed her. A pain filled her heart and she closed her eyes, bowing her head in defeat. No matter what she said to InuYasha he was still going to pick meaningless fights. One of these days it would get him killed. Coming to a stop in front of Kagome he spoke

"Sesshoumaru…"

"Little brother."

"Why the hell are you here?" He growled.

"This Sesshoumaru does not have to explain his actions to the likes of you. But seeing as you are related to me…even if you are a disgrace…you have a right to know." Came his cool reply.

InuYasha opened his mouth to spit out a comeback when he was interrupted by a child's voice.

"Sesshoumaru-sama…" Rin asked hiding behind his white pant leg. Inclining her head she looked at his face. "Can Rin please go ride the pony…all the other kids are ridding them…Rin likes ponies." She said casting a frightened glance at the fuming hanyou. Instinctively she gripped his pants tighter.

Sesshoumaru looked down at the girl tugging on his leg. "No Rin. This Sesshoumaru is busy." Rins hopeful face fell into a pout. "Do not look at me like that Rin. You know better." He said in a gentler voice. If Kagome didn't know him better she would have expected him to sigh before he spoke, like that of a tired father.

"Yes M-lord." Rin sighed looking like she was about to cry.

Taking her focus away from the two brothers and pinning it on little Rin, Kagome all but cried out 'but why?' when she saw the look of disappointment on Rins young face. She looked just like Shippo when he had excitedly eaten the candy she'd brought for him, soon to find out that there was no more left.

'I still need to find my Shippo…' She thought for no reason in particular. Suddenly an idea struck her. She silently debated herself on weather she should take Rin and go find Shippo, then ride the pony… Kagome's two front teeth extracted themselves from her pouty mouth and began biting her lower lip. Taking one last look at the child radiating cuteness, Kagome caved in.

"Rin?" Kagome suddenly said stepping out from behind InuYasha. She walked cautiously towards the little girl and powerful demon. Kagome forced her eyes to the child's and not to the growling half demon behind her.

"Yes Kagome-sama?" Rin smiled, remembering the miko whom she had journeyed with occasionally. She loved Kagome, almost like her now dead mother.

"Do you want to come with me to find Shippo, and then go ride the pony?"

Rins eyes immediately lit up. Shippo. She remembered him. The young fiery Kitsune Pup that had shown her a few magic tricks every once in a while. She liked Shippo. A wide toothy smile graced her face. There was not an ounce of evil in that child…"Really? You mean it?"

"Yes."

"Kagome."

"Miko."

Two voices said at once. One belonged to InuYasha and the other…well you can guess. Gulping back the sudden fear and nausea that rose to her throat, Kagome turned to look at the Demon Lord. She took a deep, calming breath.

" Yes Sesshoumaru…" Their eyes locked for only an instant…

…Bad move…

Rin…Where to begin? Rin was a special child. How do I know you ask? She was a good friend of mine. Yes, I knew Rin. She was a sweet little girl, always full of energy. She had a happy air about her. She has since passed on…May Kami protect her soul.

But enough sadness. Let me continue from where I was before I started to ramble…Rin was one of the few humans to earn a place in the icy Demon-Lords heart. Sesshoumaru's that is. She managed to melt his cold heart. If not for her then I would not be sitting here before you today. Because of her Sesshoumaru spared my life. How? Well as I have said before. In due time…

It was dark.

So dark…and……………cold…………… The word accumulated in his head.

Where was he? What had happened?

The last thing he remembered was a pain in his left shoulder. A picture flashed in his mind. A searing hot pain accompanied it. He had seen but a glimpse that however proved to be all he needed. The picture told him all he needed to know.

A white dog demon stood bravely on top of a cliff. Its glowing read eyes glared down at him. Behind him a Miko swathed in a robe of purity. Her black hair blew in the fierce wind.

'Name…name…what was the dog demons name? The human priestess was not important.' He said to himself.

A whisper……Tashio…But Tashio what?

"Ta-shi-o." The name passed slowly through his dry, cracked lips. His voice was horse having not been used in so many years, so at first it sounded like a low growl.

"Tashio." The name was spoken again, this time with anger behind the name. A low rumbling sounded throughout the forest. Tashio was an enemy. No His enemy. How he despised Tashio and his damnable power. But where was he now?

Lifting his head up to gaze around all he saw was a thick forest. Little light filtered between the trees. There was Nothing…Not a living being to be found.

Kagome could not move. She could not blink, swallow, or even breathe. The icy stare of the demon lord in front of her made her feel like a deer in the headlights, or in this case a…well you get the picture.

Cold, unnerving, and calculating eyes watched intently as the small Miko became frozen on the spot, and from what he could tell, scared shitless. What a shame it was. That this, this, this…thing could not even keep her fear in check. A pity really seeing as she had been the one to stand up to Naraku without showing the least bit of fear.

Now here she stood not being able to move. Why? Why was this?

"Kagome." He spoke again.

Her eyes finally dilated and widened. Her heartbeat slowed and she spoke in a clear voice full of confidence. "Yes Sesshoumaru?"

'Odd…' Sesshoumaru thought. 'What happened to the fear?'

"OUTRAGEOUS!" Jaken screeched. "YOU CANNOT DISRESPECT SESSHOUMARU-SAMA LIKE THAT. DO YOU THINK HE IS BETTER THAN YOU? YOU…YOU…HUMAN! WHY SESSHOUMARU SHOULD- "

"Jaken." Sesshoumaru spoke suddenly. His voice held anger, an emotion foreign to his ears. He took a few calming breaths. "Do not disrespect this woman. She is a dear friend, and powerful ally." His eyes never left hers.

"H-hai M-Lord." He squeaked groveling at his master's feet once again.

"Kagome. I will accompany you." He finally broke eye contact, turned, and began walking, Rin at his side. Kagome began to follow still a little lightheaded.

"Wait!" InuYasha yelled.

Kagome stopped and turned to look at him. Sesshoumaru stopped as well but not to listen to his brother, merely to wait for the miko.

"You can't just go. What about me Kagome?"

"You can take care of your self you big baby." Kagome snapped suddenly feeling quite annoyed.

"But what if I need you or…or you get attacked?" InuYasha scrambled to come up with ideas on why Kagome should stay, most sounded immature.

"She will not come to any harm while under my care Little brother, that I promise you…and as for you needing something……" Sesshoumaru stopped to think on that one. "Jaken will stay here with you."

"WHAT!"

"M-M LORD?"

"Come Miko." Sesshoumaru turned to leave once again ignoring the two bumbling idiots behind. Kagome smiled a little bit as she followed.

Rin gripped her lord's hand and turned her head to look back at Kagome. Giving her Lords hand a squeeze she untangled her hand and dropped back to the Miko's side. Sesshoumaru stopped and turned. Rin reached out and grabbed Kagome's hand giving it a squeeze to show that she was there.

Kagome smiled down at the little girl totally oblivious of the surprised stare she was receiving from the Demon Lord in front of her.

Rin had never in her life willingly given up the comfort of her Lord. Let alone shown affection to anyone other than her guardian. So for her to show security in another so quickly came with great surprise. Once Rin and Kagome had caught up to him he began walking again.

'It was nice' He admitted. 'To have her here.' Sesshoumaru didn't hate her. He actually enjoyed her company. Few humans had ever accomplished that before. But the countless nights, when he had traveled with her group, sharing stories and learning about the other by the campfire had taken its toll. Over time he had accepted Kagome as a friend.

A friend you ask? Yes, Sesshoumaru was capable of finding a friend. Even though he seemed against it, some people didn't care. And as you can guess one of those few people was named Kagome. I believe that all creatures are capable of companionship. From the tiniest land animal to the biggest sea creature.

The three looked like a happy family, with out a care in the world. A young female on one end smiling absent-mindedly, A semi-happy male on the other, and a bright beautiful child linking both of their hands in the middle bobbing her head as she hummed a little tune.

Ah yes it was a beautiful sight. Yet as fate would have it beauty would not always last forever. Like a rose will always wilt, beauty will always wither.

The gentle breeze that had wafted through the village now began to twist and turn lifting into the air small baskets and un-claimed toys. Sand picked up and blew into onlooker's eyes. Something was coming. Something big. Kagome could feel it in her bones.

It was a dark and terrible presence. Sesshoumaru looked tense, Rin trembled, and even horses took gallop, trying to get as far away as possible from the oncoming evil. A low malicious laugh whispered against ears.

What was heard next caused Sesshoumaru's eyes to widen.

"Ta-shi-o…" A black miasma swirled together forming a Sphere. From the sphere grew arms, legs, and a head. A dark mass of energy. A low chuckle emitted from the darkness. "I've found you, and your Miko."

At this Sesshoumaru looked back at Kagome. She stood holding Rin close to her chest. Anger shone in her eyes. A small whimper from Rin caused her to look down.

"Mommy…I'm scared." She whispered. Kagome's heart broke. Shattered. Tears broke loose falling from her eyes to the earth below. The innocence of a child was at risk. No. Multiple innocents were at risk. Sesshoumaru growled in a protective manner. This would end now.

"Go."

"N-nani?" Kagome asked looking at him.

"Take Rin and go." Sesshoumaru bit out.

"But Ship-"

"He will be fine. Take Rin and get to safety."

"The well…" Kagome said more to herself than anyone else.

Sesshoumaru nodded in understanding. She would go back to her time. "I'm coming back you kno-."

Sesshoumaru jumped into the air, with Rin and Kagome, just as a black mass shot out towards them. 'The damned Miko…She won't leave until she sees the kit. Very well. I'll MAKE her leave.' He thought.

Sesshoumaru landed and began to run towards the Bone Eaters Well. Hissing sounds followed him as he ran. Kagome was slumped over his shoulder and Rin was under an arm. She shrieked in his ear and held out her hand when a black mass tried to penetrate Sesshoumaru's skull. Power pulsated throughout her whole body rendezvousing in her palm. A bright burning light shot forth and purified the limb. The thing stopped in pain and fell to the ground, but it slowly began to pull its self back together 5 minutes and it would be after them again.

Setting her body down near the well Sesshoumaru quickly kneeled down to look into Rins eyes. He did not have long to say his goodbyes. Yes his goodbyes. The scariest part was that Sesshoumaru knew, he knew that he wasn't going to see Rin for a very long time.

"Sayonara Rin…" He kissed her forehead. "Jozu de aru. You are going with Kagome for a while ok?"

"Sesshoumaru-Sama…where are you going?"

"Doko ni mo little one. Doko ni mo," he put his hand on her small chest just above her heart "I'm always right here…"

"Hai."

Sesshoumaru stood taking one last sigh. He looked over to Kagome, with a pleading look in his eye. She nodded in understanding. She would not be back here anytime soon.

Sesshoumaru went to stand in front of her. His clawed hand came out to cup her face. Kagome let silent tears drop down her warm cheeks. "Sessho…" She whispered closing her eyes and leaning into his touch. She would dearly miss her cold-hearted friend. As would he.

His cheek rubbed against hers in an affectionate manner. Inu-demons often did this to show friendship. He whimpered against her cheek. Pulling away his saddened eyes looked at her.

"Sayonara Kagome. Watashi no Tomodashi…"

Kagome cried taking short gasps every now and then for air. "Will you take care of everyone? Even Shippo?"

He nodded.

"When will I see you again?" Kagome choked out.

Sesshoumaru studied her face. His eyes danced back and forth as if he were reading something.

"I'll find you………I promise."

Kagome laid her head against his chest. "Arigato."

"Go now."

Kagome nodded and held Rin close to her chest as the well enveloped her for the very last time. The weightlessness finally gave way and she fell to the dark ground below. A small amount of water had begun to gather on the bottom making it hard to stand let alone walk in the chilly liquid. Kagome grasped Rin to her chest as she broke down crying. The well was closed for good.

What happened next was heartbreaking. But that will have to wait for another time. For you see a fierce storm is brewing and I must prepare. If you could help me with these chairs I would be most obliged. For you see this storm is going to be a bad one, I can tell you that. Won't you help me? My husband should be back soon anyway. You will want to meet him…
