Chapter 14: Living your duties…as a father and a Lord.


Have you ever loved someone so much that you'd give an arm for them?

Not the expression, no literally give an arm for them.

When they know that their your heart,

And you know you are their armor and you will destroy any one who would try to harm her.

But what happens when karma turns right around and bites you,

And everything you stand for turns on you to spite you?

What happens when you become the main source of her pain?

-Eminem "When I'm gone"-


Sesshomaru kept on pacing…the barrier was deteriorating now but still as strong as ever. He had actually almost been in tears and was thankful that Rin had past out and was only awaken by his command. He closed his eyes and tried to contact his little light of hope…

Rin? Rin are you able to hear this Sesshomaru?

Rin moaned.

Lord Sesshomaru…why?

Why what Rin?

Why is this happening to me?

Because of me little one…

I……do not blame you…

She was cut of by her own weariness and she fell into a deep sleep…least her lord needed her. Sesshomaru sighed, he knew deep down she was blaming him a little for not being their in enough time…he too blamed himself for that…

He was brought out of his pondering when a low moan reached his ears…Kagura.

"Rin…my sweet daughter…wher…" she couldn't get out a whole sentence. Kagome looked shocked for she remembered that from the visions from the past had told her that their would be a child born from the two main elements…Kagura and Sesshomaru's daughter or son. Come to think of it, Naraku said it took seven years to make her body right, so her soul had already descended upon the earth for seven years…seven years ago is about the time that Rin was born…Kagome had a question and the only one she knew of that had the answers, was with her always now. Kagome looked deep within herself, trying to find Sarihona.

"Lady Sarihona…I have a question that I need to know…"

"Whatever is it?"

"Did it say who would realize first that the child was theirs…out of the mother and father I mean…Sesshomaru and Kagura?"

"Technically the father did since he knew it first in his heart…the mother is the one who speaks of it out loud."

"Kagura just said that Rin was her daughter…"

"Then it is true…Rin is a daughter or elements…fathered by Sesshomaru and mothered by Kagura…her rightful and biological parents however, it did say that the child would have a demon spirit in a human body and heared and a love so strong and free that it matched the win…"

"So do you believe that she is the daughter of the two?"

"With everything in me besides…I already look at her like a granddaughter…"

"You knew all along!" Kagome said aloud, not realizing it until the quizical looks that she was recieving.

"Well…yeah I did."

"Your too much…" Kagome told her as she shook her head. Inuyasha looked up at her and gave her a weird look as if to say that she too had gone mad. A thought then struck Kagome…Kagura was unconscious…how was she to help save Rin? Lucisherkon was at least 50 times stronger than any of them…they needed all the help that they could get.

"Lady Sarihona, Kagura's unconscious how is she to help us? We cannot wake her because of the barrier…"

"Oh that does seem to be a problem doesn't it? Well, once again let me speak for you…I'm getting a little old for this dear." Kagome tried not to laugh at the statement. And she let Sarihona talk through her. Once more it sounded angelic coming from a human body…the two were speaking together. Everyone turned to her and stared.

"Wake up child now's the time,

Time for you to open your mind,

Sleep no more oh child of mine for dawn's breakage is nigh,

Oh child with a spirit as free makes the wind jealous whence it sees,

A head as powerful as yours sleep with peace,

Come now child hear my voice wake up now so I can rejoice,

Oh child of wind and earth,

Save the one who you helped give birth."

Sesshomaru turned to her and gave her a questioning look. How did she know bits and pieces of the lullaby that his mother used to sing to him to wake him up instead of putting him to sleep? At that moment, Kagura began to stir back into the world of the living. She looked up and saw Sesshomaru and gave him the most beautifullest smile he had ever seen…well besides Rin's.

Kagura stood up abruptly and looked around seeing Rin tied to the pole in the middle of the field…she growled and the wind whipped around her. It also grew hot once more, Sesshomaru had to blend in with her power since it would not do good for Rin to be out in the heat. Just at that moment Lucisherkon's barrier deteriorated. Sesshomaru, Inuyasha, and Naraku all lunged at him before anyone else realized what had happened. Lucisherkon was quickly on the defense.


A/N: This is the shortest chapter I have ever written…and I am alright with it. I like how I wrote it. Well since I usually give a lengthy chapter this was a change. The poem that woke Kagura up I had written myself while talking to Broken Kamiya. Sorry if there was too many italics and what not. Well I hope you enjoyed it: P
