AN: I do not own the Inu Yasha gang. But I do however own this story and plot. So don't sue cause I have a dead end crappy paying job.
Chapter 1: Running into Destiny
She was running, running with everything she had. Kagome had to get to him before it happened, before he lost himself in his rage. All her focus was on running and remembering where her kit, Shippo, told her where the clearing in the forest was. She didn't even notice the trees and bushes tearing at her skin and clothes, nor did she really care. She had, had a vision in her sleep the night before. They were in a clearing, camp already made. A demon with three shards came into it, looking to kill the golden eyed, silver haired, wonder. He had deposed of it easy enough, but the girl didn't make, in a crazy act of fate one of the claws hit the girl and killed her. The golden eyes had bleed read, and he was lost in his rage. Sword forgotten and destroying everything. She had woken up with a start and asked her kit where the clearing she was describing was, and ran.
She glanced up at the sky, the sun was already setting, and she had left before its rise. She was exhausted, her hair falling out if its ponytail and flying behind her. Her 18 year old well toned body could been seen through the cuts in her blue jeans and shirt. She had finally realized is wasn't a good idea to wear the flimsy school uniform, specially when she had graduated. Kagome stumbled into the clearing, and panic took her. It was a large clearing and with the last rays of light just vanishing, it looked empty. "No..." her weak voice trembling. Her legs started running again on their on accord, through the middle of the clearing. Then she saw it. A small fire on he other side, and ran faster, hearing a roar of a beast and feeling shards on her right. "Sesshomaru."
Sesshomaru opened his eyes as a voice whispering his name and the unmistakable sent reached him. 'Inu yasha's bitch.' He sniffed the air with a smirk. 'And no inu yasha.' With one fluid movement from his graceful body he was up and in front of her. Too bad she was too busy looking at the monster to her right then where she was going. Yes, too bad indeed. With a smack, a growl, and thump and an umph. They were on the ground. Well he was, she had landed on top of him. Sesshomaru growled and grabbed a handful of her now butt length, raven hair. "Woman, have some honor and watch where you run." Kagome cried out by the sheer force that he had yanked her head back. "Ack! OW! Let me go!" "Do NOT disrespect me woman!" "My name is Kagome. Ka-go-me. Use it!" Sesshomaru growled. "Filthy human bitch." Sesshomaru shoved her off if him and was up in a flash of silver. Kagome fell to the ground and squeaked in surprise as she found her self, pressed against the well formed body of Sesshomaru, just as the ground where she was exploded. She clung to him tighter as he growled fiercely. "How dare you attack this Sesshomaru." His voice dripping with ice.
Kagome closed her eyes and breathed deeply trying to remember why she was here in the first place. 'Rin!' "Sesshomaru-sama?" The little girls voice broke her chain of thought and her eyes snapped open. "Rin, go to Jaken." "Yes, Sesshomaru-sama." And the little girl ran to the exact spot, Kagome saw in her vision, next to the ugly green imp. Kagome gasped and got out of Sesshomaru's arm. "No..oh no." she took of running to Rin as he started fighting the demon. Shards or no, it was no match for him. Time seemed to slow down for Kagome. Everything was happening now as she saw it in her vision. Sesshomaru easily won and the deadly sharp claw headed for Rin. Sesshomaru saw the direction of the claw, and knew he couldn't make it in time. Even with his speed. His eyes already started to bleed red. Rin's high pitched scream filled the air as the claw was a mere 2 feet away. Kagome had only enough time to run in front and hold her, standing in the way of the blow. And that is exactly what she did. Kagome fell over, covering Rin's body with her own, protectively, with the claw in her back coming out her chest. Rin looked up at Kagome and started sobbing, "Pretty lady?" Sesshomaru raced over to Rin, smelling her tears. He reached down and yanked Kagome off of Rin and on to her back. She barely cried out in pain. "Rin, are you hurt?" His voice was still emotionless, but she knew he was concerned. "Rin is fine...but pretty lady is hurt. She saved Rin!" Sesshomaru inwardly sighed as he looked at Kagome. She looked back at him with dull eyes, her vision already starting to fail her. "Is she safe? Did I save her?" He blinked and nodded courtly. "Rin is well, wrench." Kagome smiled a little bit but it soon faded. "It won't kill you to say my name, Sesshomaru." "It will kill you if you keep talking."
Kagome coughed, blood spattering from her lips, onto her face. A warm crimson pool already forming around her small, paling form. Sesshomaru stood up and turned his back to her. "Come. Rin. We must leave." "No!" He stopped in mid-step and turned to the little crying girl. No one ever told him 'no'. "What?" "Please save pretty lady. She saved Rin." She did have a point and he knew it, but damn it all she was Inu Yasha's woman! "KKKKKKKKKKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMEEEEEEEEEE!" A little red-ish ball of fur ran to Kagome's side and stared in shock. "Kaa-san! No! What happened to you!" She just coughed some more. "I. . . . . saved her. My pup . . . listen to me. Go back to Songo, Mi . . Miroku, and Inu Yasha." "No! I won't leave you. You can't die and leave me just to save him." Kagome smiled softly. 'It was worth it.' She coughed once more, and didn't move again. "Pretty Lady? NO!" Rin cried as she ran to her shaking the cooling body of the loved miko, roughly. "O-okaa san? Kagome?" Shippo squeaked out as he too started to cry. Sesshomaru watched on, with his cold, bored, expressionless mask on, as the children hovered over the body wishing it to move. He had to admit, he respected the girl, even if she was human. She dealt with his half brother all the time, she was schooled, which was rare for even for royalty at the time. Plus she was a powerful miko. But most of all it was her unending loyalty, even thought it was missed placed. Everyone knew Inu Yasha was seeing that clay pot Kikyo, yet she was still loyal to him. 'Pethtic.' "Bring her back!" Shippo's growling brought him out of his thoughts. "You. Lord Sesshomaru, use your sword. Bring my okaa-san back." Sesshomaru growled. How dare this kit of a fox tell him what to do. "Kit, you have been around my half brother far too long. Do not make demands when talking to a lord! And for the sake of actually hearing what you said. Why should this Sesshomaru, the great lord of the Western lands, bring back a human? My brothers wrench no less!"
Shippo looked from Sesshomaru to Kagome then back to him. "Because she ran all day, because she's my mama, she got yelled at this morning when she left. She had a dream last night about Rin dying, and you going into blood rage. She didn't want that and came to stop it. And this is what she got. Face it, she helped you and protected Rin." Shippo said for once sounding like an adult instead of a kid that he was. Sesshomaru looked at him, then Rin, then finally to Kagome. His fathers sword, Tenseiga, pulsing at his side, wanting to be used. The golden eyes narrowed seeing the little beasts from hell already on her. "This Sesshomaru will. . ."
