No Changes In The Blood Of One's Heart
"Greetings Lord of the South." Sesshomaru spoke as Koga entered.
"Greetings Lord of the West." Koga called back.
Sesshomaru had called a meeting to discuss possibilities of saving Kagome's family.
"Yo, Maru, do you really think this is wise? I mean we are playing with the future. If they are meant to die then should we not step in?" Inuyasha asked.
"If time traveling was never meant to happen, and Kagome was never meant to discover the past, and You were suppose to remain sealed to a tree for all time, while I still remained cold and stoic with an icicle up my ass, then don't you think that by falling down the well, releasing you, traveled through time, discovering the past, melting the ice in both my heart and my ass. . .isn't that tempting fate and changing the future?"
Inuyasha, Koga, Miroku, and Shippou stared in awe. Their friend, brother, lord, and father not only insulted himself, but he just said all of that in one breath without skipping a beat AND without hesitation.
"Please do close your mouths before you catch any flies." Sesshomaru said. He was getting tired of the gapes.
"We're sorry father, it's just that. . ." Shippou started
"It's just that you did all of that in one breath! Damn and I thought only girls could do that!" Koga finished.
"Damn skippy, which makes me question my brothers true gender. . .or preference." Inuyasha teased.
Just then the doors to the library opened. "Well I for one, can vouch for both my mate's gender and preference. He is male, he does have a penis, and he does prefer women to men. Thank you very much Inuyasha. Oh btw. SIT!" 'Thonk'
"Bitch what the hell was that for!"
"Oh nothing personal luv. It's just that I was mad at Sesshomaru but he doesn't have a rosery."
Sesshomaru growled low and warning to his mate for calling another man 'luv'. Kagome just told him to go screw himself.
"Why are the other three lords here Sesshomaru?" Kagome finally asked.
"What the hell did I do now?" Sesshomaru whined.
"Um lets see. . .I'm just being moody is all. Please continue about your business I promise not to let my mood swings interrupt." and with that Kagome turned on her heels and left slamming the doors behind her.
Sesshomaru sighed. She had been mad at him all morning, and now here is it an hour before the kids get home and he had no way of getting her to calm herself, especially since it was him who riled her up in the first place.
"She heard your thoughts again didn't she?" Inuyasha asked offhandedly.
"Hai, little brother." Sesshomaru admitted in a defeated voice.
"Dude, just go apologize to her. It's really not that hard." Inuyasha said.
"Apologize for what? Her invading my mind, or the fact that my brain decided to speak truth? No I will not apologize for either! If any thing she owes me an apology." Sesshomaru said snobbishly.
"Wow I don't know who is the child and who is the parent any more. That was very low and childish of you Sesshomaru. You know that neither one of you have complete control over invading each other's minds! She did not mean it, when ever you two are intimate this happens and then you fight because you have to always think of something that will ruin it." Inuyasha scolded his brother.
Sesshomaru's eyes flashed red for a brief second before going back to normal. It was then that the other three lords decided to take a step back. A pissed off Sesshomaru was never good. But Sesshomaru did nothing. He simply sighed and then looked at the map of the Higurashi shrine in front of him. He wasn't going to do anything either for he knew that his brother spoke nothing but truth. Yes Inuyasha was brash, and ignorant sometimes, but he has matured a lot and it hurt Sesshomaru's pride to be put in his place by one that is not nearly as old as he was. For one so young, Inuyasha was very wise when he wanted to be.
"Thank you little brother. Lord of the North. Now may we get back to business."
"Yes." And then every one stepped forward and started planning a course of action.
After about an hour of talking and debating, they finally agreed upon a course of action. . .and just in time too. Kagome walked back into the library by the time they all said 'agreed'.
"Hey guys, what's going on?" Kagome asked curiously.
"Nothing that is of any concern to you, little one." Sesshomaru said in his infamous monotone voice.
'OH NO HE DIDN'T!' Kagome shouted inside her brain.
'Shit, I'm in trouble now.' Sesshomaru thought after hearing her thoughts.
"Oh, nothing that concerns me? Though I have been through many things, seen many disasters, felt many changes, and the pain the was caused by the one I love and yet, it is none of my concern. Tossed aside like an old shoe. Now that Naraku is gone and the Shikon No Tama is dead, I guess there is no need for a mated miko with four kids. After all, her only purpose in this world is to bow down to her lord like an obedient dog. I shall be on my way." And with that, Kagome once again turned and left, but this time, gracefully. Swaying her hips and seducing Sesshomaru the entire way.
"You're a bastard, I just want you to know that." Shippou said. He was not pleased that his father had been ignoring his mother for the past year. He had been treating her more and more like how Inuyasha would treat her. . .minus the running off to another woman. . .he thinks. So with that thought, Shippou turned and left to follow his mother.
"Why?" Koga asked. It was all he had to ask.
Sesshomaru took a deep breath. He was upset. Upset that he had to push his mate away, upset that his mate was beginning to doubt his love and loyalty, upset that he could not change what is to come. It will be the strength that he is giving to her now that will save her then. He loved her, to all the kami's he loved her. But she would need this pain, and he would have to be the one to give it to her. With another frustrated sigh, he spoke.
"Because I love her dammit! I will not loose her! I will never loose her! I have to do this to save her!" Sesshomaru blurted out. Little did he know that Kagome was standing right outside the door, she had been going back to tell Inuyasha and Koga that they could stay for dinner should they choose to do so.
'He love's me? Then why? Why must he cause me pain to save me?'
"I understand that you wish to provide Kagome with all the strength you can before she returns to the past Sesshomaru, however, do you doubt her strength so much that you must push her away to 'make her strong' she is miko, even when she was human she was stronger than most demons! Why is it now that you doubt her strength?" Inuyasha spoke.
"Because you, little brother, did not hold her bloodied body in front of your very children. You, little brother, did not have to witness your mate's near death experience. . .again!" Sesshomaru closed his eyes tightly at the memory that he had for so long tried to chase away. Tears slipped from his grasp. He broke and silently cried.
Kagome gasped. 'So this is what he has been hiding from me for the past fifteen years? The fact that I will end up going back to the past somehow? The fact that he had to witness my beat up? It all makes sense now. . .I get my powers from my emotions, so if I am angry or hurt, my powers will be amplified ten fold when I take it out on the next person that tries to start something with me.'
"Mother."
Kagome gasped and jumped into the air, hitting her head on the ceiling that was twenty feet above them. When she came back down, she had been expecting to fall on her butt, but her son had caught her.
"Thanks hun. Sorry about that. How can I help you?"
"Mother," Shippou said seriously. "How much did you hear?"
Kagome sighed, she was hoping not to get caught. "Enough my son, enough." was all Kagome said.
"Then you know. You were not suppose to know mother." Shippou said.
"No shippou, I know how this works. You were not suppose to tell me, if I had found out it would be okay. As long as you did not directly approach me and say, 'hey guess what I will see you three hundred years ago again.' then you are okay." Kagome said.
"Still, we would have preferred that you did not find out."
Kagome smiled at her now very grown son. "Do not worry yourself my son, I will not say any thing. And if you like we can cast a memory spell on me."
Shippou's eyes widened in shock. "You would do that mother? For me? You would willingly give up this memory knowing that it would help you in the future?"
Kagome placed a gentle clawed hand on her sons cheek. "Shippou, you should know by now that I would do anything for those that I love. And I love you very, Very much. You are my son, maybe not by blood but you are my son none the less. I do not love you more or less because of that fact. If it would make you feel better sweety, then yes I will give up this memory."
"Thank you mother. I am sorry to say but I must ask that you do."
"It's okay, go get Kikyo and we will begin. Your father does not have to know about this okay?"
"Actually mother, yes he does, if we are to prevent such an event from happening again."
"Okay baby. Now go and get Kikyo." With that Shippou turned and sped off in the direction of his aunt.
Kagome then walked fully into the library now. Every one stared and looked at her, Sesshomaru quickly composed himself.
"Relax my love. I am not mad at you any more." Kagome spoke gently. "In fact I have come to warn you that Kikyo will be performing a memory spell on me."
"WHAT?" Sesshomaru yelled. He knew that he had pissed her off, but this was rediculous.
"Calm down my love." Kagome said with a chuckle. "I was coming back to invite Inuyasha and Koga to stay for dinner when I over heard you talking about me going back to the past. Shippou was not pleased that I had found out, so I told him that we could do a memory spell."
Sesshomaru took a very noticeable intake of breath. He had not known that she was out there. But now that he thought about it, she had made no attempt to hide herself either. Which to him, meant that she was mean to find out this way. If he could not pick up the scent of his mate, nor her presence or aura, then she was meant to find out.
"There will be no spells cast this day." Sesshomaru finally spoke.
"Why?" Kagome asked turning her head to the side. She may be a neko demon, but she sure has hell carried the traits of an inu.
"Because my love, you have made no attempt all day to hide yourself in any way shape or form, yet every time you came in here I did not sense your presence at all. Nor caught you lovely scent, nor your aura. To me, this is a sign that you were meant to know." Sesshomaru spoke with an emotion that Kagome had not heard in nearly sixteen years. Sadness.
"Sesshomaru. . ." Kagome started.
In a split second Sesshomaru was in front of his mate. He put a gentle claw to her lips and pushed just enough to draw one drop of blood before the wound sealed itself. Sesshomaru then bent down and kissed her red lips before sucking slightly to remove the blood.
"My blood to yours." Sesshomaru said.
"Hu?"
"You will know soon enough my mate. My angel."
"Sesshomaru."
"Shh, it is okay. Just come back to me, please." Sesshomaru said.
"I will, I promise. But how. . ."
Sesshomaru silenced her with another kiss. "All will be known in time mate. For now just please, no more." Sesshomaru lightly begged.
"Okay." Kagome said.
Shippou had heard his father say no to the memory spell, as well as Kikyo. So she turned to her sister and did the only thing she could do to lighten the mood.
"You know Kagome, it is a good thing that you decided not to press Lord Sesshomaru on that matter." Kikyo said.
"Oh? And why is that dear sister?" Kagome said playfully as she turned to face the others.
"Because we all know that Curiosity Killed The Cat." and with that Kikyo took off with a 'fuming' Kagome close behind.
"I'm gonna get you for that Kikyo." Kagome cried. But every one just laughed as the two women had their play time while the children were not around to see.
"Hey Koikotsu?"
"Sup?" the older brother responded
"I was wondering, why is it do you think that our parents do not discuss their past with us. They have told us little, and I want to know more. I mean after all Shippou and Rin got to live it, so why can't we at least know about it?" Hoshitu asked.
"That is a good question. I have thought about this many times before and have come to a conclusion. It is in the past correct?"
"Hai."
"Then it should be in the history section. Why don't we go to the public library after school and check it out."
"Cool, that sounds like a plan." Aidan chimed.
"Who said you were invited." Hoshitu joked.
"Well if Aidan can't go then I guess Ashanti is out as well." Koikotsu joked back.
"Damn." Hoshitu cursed, and every one laughed. They were all at P.E. right now playing volleyball, however, this group was awaiting their turn to take a net. There were only two nets, and six teams.
"Party over here, ooh, ooh." Ashanti called as she spiked the ball and scored a point for her team. All of them had to be cautions as to the strength they used. Or speed. Their parents had all taught them control. It sure came in handy when playing games like this.
"Hey remember the first time we played volley ball?" Inumaru asked. Every one nodded. "Man that was funny." Suddenly every one was lost in memory lane.
Flash back
"I got it!" Makotchin called as he jumped up to spike it. He was literally right in front of the net and when he hit it he had forgotten to be cautious of his claws.
A loud ' POP' was heard. Every one looked over to find a deflated volleyball and a very red Makotchin.
Soon though, every one, humans and demons included, laughed. Makotchin could not help but apologize for 'hitting the ball to hard'. But his family and friends knew for a fact that he had not hit it hard at all, his claws had gotten in the way.
End flashback
Every one began to chuckle at the memory while Makotchin turned two shades of red. He had not meant to do that, and fortunately for him, his teachers did not question how he had hit the ball hard enough to pop it. He got off by simply buying the school another volley ball as punishment. Just before the group could do anything else though, they hear some one call out.
"Watch out!"
They all moved in time, but not to the point to make any one think something was wrong with them. They were known to be the fastest in their school so it did not surprise any one to see them dodge a stray ball. Even with such little warning.
"I'm so sorry Hoshitu, are you all right?" Ashanti asked with sadness and concern. Apparently not all of them moved in time.
"It's all good. No worries here, really I'm fine." His nose was slightly red from the ball but other than that, he really was fine.
Ashanti looked as if she were about to cry. This upset Hoshitu greatly, he did not wish the woman that he had come to love to cry over something that did not even hurt! Acting on pure instinct alone, he gathered her into his arms and began to nuzzle her gently to show her he was fine and to sooth her pain away. Though she was not his mother's blood, she reminded him so much of his mother. His mother could never hurt someone with out herself getting hurt as well. No matter who it was. This is why he was so attracted to her. This is why he loved her. She had a pure heart.
Ashanti gasped when Hoshitu took her into his arms. She knew he had feelings for her, and she him. . .but demons mate for life and they were just to young. . .not to mention her father would know the minute she was within a mile of his nose. "H-hoshitu?" she then realized that he had acted on instinct. Which in demon society meant one thing. He recognized her as mate. She blushed furiously at the thought of being his mate, but she was not ready yet. Maybe they could court each other for a couple of years?
Hoshitu at that moment, just realized what he was doing. . .in front of the whole class.
"Oooh" every one said in a very elementary type way.
"Omg, I am so sorry Ashanti, youwerejustupsetandIdidn'twantyoutobeupsetandIhavetogousetheboysroomIwillttylbye." He then quickly placed her on her feet and took off, at a very slow pace but still really fast to humans. (Translation "you were upset and I didn't want you to be upset and I have to use the boys room I will ttyl bye.")
Every one busted out laughing at Hoshitu's antics. But what no one noticed was the Ashanti's heart had broken when he took off like that. No one but Koikotsu.
"Ashanti, I must speak with you. . .now." Koikotsu said in a deadly serious voice that sent chills down every ones spine.
"Yes." she said after they walked away from human ears.
"Do not be hurt by my little brothers sudden retreat. He loves you, and we got yelled at this morning about respecting women unless we plan on courting them and taking them for mates. He is scared that he will hurt you, or you will reject him should he wish to court you. Talk to him. You will not regret it I promise you this."
"And if I do?" Ashanti asked
"Then I will stand idly by as you kick my ass from here to the other side of Japan. And them some."
"You mean to tell me that you will not defend yourself at all?"
"Not in a single way."
"Deal."
With that they both shared a secret smile, Koikotsu does not smile much but when he does it is always a beautiful thing.
Kagome walked into her room and pulled out her boom box that she had bought when the boys were still very young. She would always play soothing music to help them sleep since their ears were so sensitive that they could pick up every sound in the castle. She was in a perky mood and planned to take full advantage of it. Sure she just found out that some way some how she would end up in the past again but she didn't even care about that right now. She wanted music. . .to be exact. . .she wanted music that no one she knew listened to. . . Shania Twain! Only because some of Shania's music was true. One of her songs being 'Any Man Of Mine.' and 'If You're Not In It For Love, I'm Outta Here!' . After all, that was the exact mood she was in and that was exactly what she was going to listen too on the rare occasions that she listened to something else other than Likin Park or Rob Zombie. Oh yes she was evil and she will torture every one with her music this day to make herself happy.
She popped the cd into the cd player and flipped to song fourteen (14). After that she changed clothes real quick while the player was still trying to read the cd. (A/n: come one people it is like 13-15 years old yours would take a few minutes too.) Kagome slipped into some pants that clung to her figure but was not to tight to be considered grosse. She then put on a cute sleeveless shirt that was pink and showed her cleavage. . .oh yes she was going to be evil to EVERY ONE! The cd player finally signaled that it was ready when she finished putting some socks on and she went over and clicked play.
(A/n: I do not own these songs they belong to who ever wrote them. . .which since it is Shania Twain I am guessing she did. . .don't know)
As the music began to play, she began to sing and dance. Twirling and twisting in every way. Oh yes, torture indeed. 'Sesshomaru is going to flip when he comes up here to find out what all the noise is about' Kagome snickered to herself. She was acting like a teen again. Before long though, someone else came into the room and stopped the song. When Kagome looked up with anger and protest, she stopped seeing it was her 'sister in crime', none other than DUHN, DUHN, DUHN. . .dum, dum, dum, dum. . .(sorry had to) Sango.
Sango looked at her warrior sister and smiled her evil smile. Sango had heard Kagome rummaged around up here and had come to see what was going on, when she got up here she watched Kagome change clothes then begin to dance to 'their favorite torture music'. "Mind if I join in the fun?" Sango asked, all ready dressed for the occasion.
"Nope, not at all, just press play and turn it up."
Sango did as she was told then pressed play. Let the torture begin. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! (Sorry)
Mind if I sit down?
Can I buy you a round?
Haven't seen your face before
Are you new in town?
It's the same old line
Oh every time.
Are you alone
Can I take you home?
Now every woman sees
With every "pretty please"
There's a pair of lyin' eyes
And a set of keys.
He says, "Come be star
In the back seat of my care."
Oh but baby slow down
You're goin' way to far
Let me Make it clear
To you my dear
If you're not
In it for love (baby)
If you're not
Willin' to give it all you go
If you're not in it for life
If you're not in it for love
Let me make it clear
To you my dear
If you're not in it for love
I'm outta here.
Babe, I can change your world
Make you a cover girl
Yeah you could be a beauty queen
In a magazine
Now tell me, what's your sign?
Why always the same old line?
I'll be in number 409
If you change your mind
Let me make it clear
To you my dear
If you're not
In it for love
If you're not
Willin' to give it all you got
If you're not in it for life
If you're not in it for love
Let me make it clear
To you my dear
If you're not in it for love
I'm outta here
If you not in for love
If you're not in it for life
If you're not in it for love
I'm outta here.
Sango and Kagome giggled when the song ended and they stopped dancing. They had long ago noticed that Miroku and Kohaku were standing there watching the two dance like a bunch of wild childs. Kagome quickly walked over to the cd player and changed it to song sixteen (16).
This is what a woman wants. . .
Any man of mine better be proud of me
Even when I'm ugly he still better love me
And I can be late for a date that's fine
But he better be on time
Any man of mine'll say its fits just right
When last year's dress is just a little too tight
And anything I do or say better be okay
When I have a bad hair day
And If I change my mind
A million times
I wanna hear him say
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah I like it that way
Any man of mine better walk the line
Better show me a teasin', squeezin' pleasin' kinda time
I need a man who knows, how the story goes
He's gotta be a heartbeatin', fine treatin
Breathtakin', earthquakin' kind
Any man of mine
Well any man of mine better disagree
When I say another woman's looking better than me
And when I cook him dinner and I burn it black
He better say, mmmm, I like it like that yeah
And if I change my mind
A million times
I wanna hear him say
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah I like it that way
Any man of mine better walk the line
Better show me a teasin', squeezin', pleasin' kinda time

He's gotta be a heartbeatin', fine treatin'
Breathtakin', earthquakin' kind
Any man of mine

Make the earth quake
Kick, turn, stomp, stomp, then jump
Heel to toe, Do Si Do
'Til your boots wanna break
'Til your feet and your back ache
Keep it movin' 'til you just can't take anymore
Come on every body on the floor
A-one two, a-three four
Hup-two hup
If you wanna be a man of min, that's right
This is what a woman wants. . .
The second song clicked off and Sesshomaru stood there and blinked. . .now he knew why so many women (whether or not they hated country or pop music) loved Shania Twain. She told it how it was to most men, this is what a woman wanted. Wow he felt like a real dog at the moment, pun intended. And for some odd reason, he knew, he just plain knew, what song was coming next. . . .the one song that most men hated.
He watched as his mate walked up to the cd player and placed it on the number five (5). He was right, she was going to torture him with this wrenched song. Great. But he could not take his eyes off of her, he could not turn to leave. She had him hypnotized, and she knew it. Kami's he loved her. Every thing about her, even the torture that he had to endure, he loved her.
I'm going out tonight- I'm feelin' alright

Can you feel it
Come, come, come on baby
I feel like a woman
Now all the men stood by as all the girls danced. Sango, Rin, Kaugra, Kanna, Ayame, Kikyo, and Kagome stood there breathing and laughing at their silliness.
"Kagome, we need a break, can we listen to something a little more slow where we could just lay on the floor?" Kanna asked.
"Yeppers. Just give me a sec." Kagome replied as she walked up to the cd player and started flipping through songs.
In your arms I can still feel the way you want me when you hold me
I can still hear the words you whispered when you told me
I can stay right here forever in your arms
And There ain't no way- I'm lettin' you go now
And there ain't no way- and there ain't no how
I'll never see that day. . .
'Cause I'm keeping you forever and for always
We will be together all of our days
Wanna wake up every morning to your sweet face- always

'Cause I'm keeping you forever and for always
We will be together all of our days
Wanna wake up every morning to your sweet face- always
I'm keeping you forever and for always
I'm in your arms
A click was heard just as the song ended, someone had turned the cd player off. Kagome was pissed now, no one turned her venting/ torture music off!
As Kagome whirled around on the person that had dared to approach the cd player in such a way, she spoke. . . "You fucking want me to kick your ass don't . . . .Koikotsu? Oops!" Kagome blushed three shades.
Snickers were heard in the background and Koikotsu cocked his eyebrow at his mother, never before had he heard such language from her. . .he had always assumed she was to naive.
Koga walked up to Ashanti and placed one arm around her shoulder and she leaned into him and placed a gentle kiss on his cheek.
"After noon father." she said.
"How's my little girl doing? I don't have to make a hit list do I?"
Ashanti giggled. "Mau, father sometimes you are such a hand full, how does mother deal with ya?"
"Simple, I ignore him." Ayame answered. Every one chuckled.
Aidan and Makotchin walked together into the room and greeted Sango with a warm embrace.
"After noon mother, how do you fair this day?" Aidan asked.
"I fair well son, how about you?"
"HENTAI!" 'SLAP' unconcious Makotchin on the ground. He had groped Kira, for the second time that day. He had done it during 3rd period earlier.
"Well, I see that Mokotchin will take after his father after all." Sango said.
"Now, now dear Sango, it did not stop you from becoming my mate so it could not be all bad." Miroku spoke.
Sango blushed red. Miroku turned to their son "Makotchin, you do however, need to learn to respect women more if you are going to continue with the legend of our cursed hand."
"Yes father." Makotchin answered.
Kira stood where she was, she knew her mother would come to her. Inuyasha, however, had not patience.
"What are you going to stand there all day like an idiot or are you going to come over here and get this over with?" Inuyasha snapped.
His father walked up to him and brought his fist down on his head, knocking him to the ground.
"You know Inuyasha, we could just give Inu jr. over there a rosary like the one you wore and just sit him." Kagome said. 'thunk' "oops sorry, I didn't mean to say it. Honest." Kagome apologized quickly.
Every one just laughed at Inuyasha's misfortune.
Koikotsu watched his mother with interest, this is the first time in his fifteen years of life of witnessing this side of her. He now understood fully why his father loved her so damn much. Hoshitu oh the other hand, was busy looking at Ashanti, and Koga noticed this.
"Hey," Koga whispered just loud enough for Inuyasha sr. and Sesshomaru to hear, and Ashanti but he forgot he was still holding her.
"I think your son likes my daughter, any chance they might become mates?"
Sesshomaru thought about this for a moment before answering, Ashanti blushed ten shades deeper than ever. Her father! Asking if she would become her friends mate!
"It is quite possible, Inu's are very possessive and protective. We allow no harm to come to those that our demon blood recognizes as mate. But I am not them, only time will tell. Koikotsu. Come here." Sesshomaru said
"Yes father."
"Take the others and go do your home work, after wards we have decided it will be good to get some sparring in before you all go home, to work out the pent up energy that you all seem to have so much of."
"As you wish father." Koikotsu said before leading the other kids out.
"Wow that was um. . .so not cool!" Kagome said.
"Why? Because you are no longer picture perfect to your sons?" Sango teased.
Kagome simply growled. And every one laughed save Sesshomaru who just gave his mate a longing look. He wanted at least one more night with her, should she not return from the past. But he knew that it would have to wait. He would have to wait.
