Chapter 3
Kagome's POV
I am quietly making dinner, watching my children play. Kumiko and Namiko, my twin daughters are outside playing with their younger brother Shinta. All of my children are quarter demons. My daughters both have youki and miko powers. They have both been trained by Kikyo to meld the two to make one or the other more powerful. They are identical twins, but Kumiko has Inuyasha's silvery white hair, while Namiko has my raven dark tresses. Kumiko, who has chosen to become a miko, is dressed in the traditional garb. Namiko, who works on her demon side and wishes to become a warrior, is wearing clothes identical to Inuyasha's. Their hair falls to their knees. They are nine years old, but Shinta, on the other hand, is five. His black hair falls to his shoulders and he is wearing a child's kimono in hues of red and gold. While the girls have chosen an area to begin training, Shinta is still too young. The three of them are playing with Miroku and Sango's five children as well as Shippo.
It's been an uneventful week and a sense of peace has settled down on us. I am walking over to the door to call the children for dinner when Inuyasha bursts through it.
"Kagome, get all the kids and bring them inside, then go get Sango and Miroku. You might as well get Kikyo too," Inuyasha was yelling.
"Inuyasha, what's going on?" I ask concerned.
"Sesshoumaru is coming and kami knows what that bastard wants," he growled.
"Alright," I run outside to the children, "Kumiko, Namiko, Shinta, get in the house now. Kamui, Reiji, Izumi, Yuzuka, and Teruna please go with them."
"Yes mama," my three answer, followed by the ever familiar, "Hai, Kagome-kun" of Miroku and Sango's five. They all proceed to run into the house.
I run over to Sango and Miroku's house, "Sango-chan, Miroku-houshi, I need you to get ready to fight and meet me outside."
"Kagome-chan," Miroku began, "What is going on?"
I take a deep breath and explain, "Sesshoumaru is coming."
"Sesshoumaru?" Sango started, "Why is he coming here?"
"I don't know Sango-chan, he may be after the Tetsusaiga again, or perhaps the completed shikon-no-tama," I answered her, touching the jewel hanging around my neck, "I don't know, but it's best to be prepared for anything."
"Right!" Sango and Miroku said at the same time.
I run out of their house and down to Kikyo's hut. I knock respectfully and am admitted, "Kikyo, will you help us with Sesshoumaru? He is coming toward the village."
"Kagome, you know I will not," she answered, "This fight is between Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru."
"I understand Kikyo-chan," I reply, leaving her.
I run back to my home and retrieve my bow and arrows as well as the katana I have been learning to use. It was forged specifically for me by Toto-sai. It is made to enhance my miko powers.
As I am walking out the door my daughters approach me, "Mama, what's happening?" Kumiko asks me looking up at me with her large amber eyes.
"Yes, Mama, please tell us," Namiko adds.
"We're getting a visit from your Uncle Sesshoumaru, and he's not very nice," I explain to the girls.
"Uncle Sesshoumaru? Ok, I understand," Namiko says.
"I understand as well mother. Should we stay here and protect Shinta?" Kumiko put in.
"Yes, that sounds like a wonderful idea," I couldn't help but smile at them. They wouldn't be able to protect anyone if it came down to that. They ran off and I walked back outside to where everyone was waiting, "Inuyasha, how close is he? I can feel his youki."
Inuyasha drew Tetsusaiga, "We should be able to see him soon."

Sesshoumaru appeared over the horizon. He had someone with him that I didn't recognize. She looked somewhat familiar and as they drew closer, I realized that it was Rin. It's been eight years since I saw the girl and she has definitely grown up. She is beautiful with a very womanly figure. Sesshoumaru and Rin are now only ten feet away from us.
"Sesshoumaru, what business do you have here?" Inuyasha yelled at him.
Sesshoumaru continued walking towards us. I notice now that he has both arms. He pulls out Tokijin, holding it out in front of him. "Inuyasha, I am here," he started laying Tokijin on the ground before him, "To ask a favor of you."
"Keh, and what could you possibly need from your 'pathetic little half breed brother'?" Inuyasha sounded skeptical.
"I need you and Kagome to take care of Rin for a while," he answered.
"No way, we're not taking care of your brat," Inuyasha said indignantly.
"Sit boy," Inuyasha hit the ground face first, "Now Sesshoumaru, why do you require this of us?" I asked him calmly.
"I'm going to war and I fear for the life of my mate, so I will leave her here in your care to ensure her safety," Sesshoumaru said, obviously struggling to get the words out.
"WHAT! You the great mortal-hating Sesshoumaru took a human for his mate!" Inuyasha was laughing hysterically.
"Inuyasha sit," Inuyasha was pissing me off. I calmed myself and spoke again, "Sesshoumaru, how long will you be gone?"
"I will be back within eight months. I must return to see the birth of my child," again he struggled to answer, throwing Inuyasha glares promising death.
"The birth of your child! . . . She's human and pregnant with your hanyou child!" Inuyasha was laughing again.
I am thoroughly angry now, "Inuyasha . . . sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit. You are such an idiot! Why do you have to act like that all the time!" I yelled causing him to make a hole in the dirt with his body. He was starting to get up again, "SIT!" I threw in an extra for good measure. "Sesshoumaru, we will take Rin. I promise that we will take good care of her make sure she is well when you return."
"Thank you," he was forcing it again, "Now Kagome, if Inuyasha doesn't object too much, may I see your offspring? Not that I care if he does object. I wish to see if you have continued with a powerful family bloodline, or with that of a weakling."
"I . . . of course," I respond restraining my anger at him for his snide comment about perhaps having weak children, "Kumiko, Namiko, Shinta, come meet your uncle!" I called.
All eight children came running out of the house. Sango and Miroku were immediately surrounded by their pack and my three stood before their uncle.
"Hello, Uncle Sesshoumaru, I am Kumiko," she bowed to him.
"And I am Namiko," she too bowed to her uncle.
Shinta stepped forward, "I am Shinta, Uncle Sesshoumaru." He bowed as well.
"Well they are civil and respectful, though those two are showing off. They are flaring out their power. Kumiko is a rather powerful miko. Namiko will be strong, for a quarter breed. Her youki is already stronger than that of most lesser demons. Tell me Inuyasha, can she wield Tetsusaiga?" he replied critiquing my children.
"Don't know, never tried before," Inuyasha responded.
"Allow her to do so now. I wish to see before I go," Sesshoumaru sounded slightly amused.
Inuyasha called to Namiko, "Namiko, come 'ere."
When Namiko was before him, he stuck the Tetsusaiga in the ground, once it untransformed, he said, "Pull it out of the ground."
Namiko steps forward and reaches for the sword. Gingerly she touches the handle and when the barrier doesn't reject her, she grips it and draws the blade from the ground. However, it fails to transform.
"It won't work father. What's wrong with it? Or . . . is it me?" she looks deeply disappointed.
"There's no danger, that's all, I'm sure. The Tetsusaiga only transforms in times of danger to protect the ones you love," Inuyasha comforts our daughter. He takes the sword from her and replaces it in its sheath, "Don't worry, you will wield the Tetsusaiga one day."
Sesshoumaru turns around and begins to walk away, "I must leave now. Goodbye Rin."
Rin runs to him and he turns around to face the woman. She leaps up and wraps her arms around his neck, bringing her lips to his ear and whispering words meant for him alone, "I love you Sesshoumaru-sama. Please make sure you come back to me."
She is silently crying, tears streaming down her face. Watching this, I find myself beginning to cry, understanding completely how she feels. It is obviously apparent that she loves him, but he will never love her back. He merely tolerates this, that's all he'll ever do.
Sesshoumaru pulls her off of him and puts her down, "Goodbye, Rin. I will return for the birth of our child." He turns around and flies away.
Rin sits down and begins to cry loudly, obviously trying to remain at least somewhat composed. I walk over to her and sit down next to her.
"Don't worry Rin. He'll come back," I comfort the weeping girl.
"How do you know!" she sobs, the tears finally beginning to slow.
"Sesshoumaru has too much pride to break his word or abandon his mate and child. He'll be back just like he said," I answer her.
She looks up at me and manages to produce a weak smile and through the last few tears clinging to her eyelashes I can see the look in her eyes that tells me she knows I'm right, "Thank you Kagome-san."
"Kagome-chan, please. I should be calling you Rin-sama. You are the Lady of the Western Plains," I remark, noticing that she turns crimson at my comment.
Kumiko and Namiko come running over. "Hello Rin-sama, I'm Kumiko," Kumiko says with a bow. "And I'm Namiko," Namiko adds also bowing.
Rin giggles, her smile widening some, "Just call me Rin please." She stands and the children drag her away to show her her new home until the return of the man she loves.

Ok another chapter down. A few months will pass between now and the next chapter. I hope I didn't get My Lord Sesshoumaru too terribly out of character. That would be bad. Kumiko and Namiko are so cute huh?
A lot is going to happen next chapter. I need some creative advice so if anyone is willing to help either message me or send me an email at Thanks to all of my reviewers.
