Chapter 6 Arrival and The guests, and Kouga?
The hours passed by fairly quickly, the group had caught up with Jaken, Ah-Un, and Kirara. Jaken hadn't stopped talking about how he just knew his Lord would never stay gone for too long and how he knew that his Lord would be the one to kill Naraku. There he was stopped by the demon lord himself "I didn't kill Naraku Jaken."
Jaken stopped in mid step causing him to nearly be squished by Ah-Un who was currently carrying Rin, Shippo, and Kagome. Kagome jumped off and walked up beside Sesshoumaru and smiled. "Who killed him my Lord if not you then who would be powerful enough?" Jaken asked.
"I did" Kagome spoke up. Jaken's mouth nearly hit the ground. "But you were a human miko turned demon/miko how did you defeat him wench?"
Sesshoumaru growled at Jaken and he shut up immediately fearing for his live. "We will be camping here there is a hot spring over there through those woods." Sesshoumaru said. He then added " While the women bathe we shall gather wood and build a fire."
Kagome and Sango looked at one another Sango spoke up "Who will watch the monk, and his peeping ways." Sesshoumaru smirked "I will." Miroku shuddered as Kagome, Sango, Kikyo, Kagura, Kanna, and Rin started walking to the Spring.
Once there Kagura and Kanna stood back as Sango and Kikyo went ahead and got in. Kagome helped Rin so she wouldn't trip and fall. Kagura figured that it would be ok if she and Kanna went ahead and got in but she didn't let her guard down.
While sitting there Kagura asked "Kagome if you don't mind do you have any idea how you turned into a demon, was your mother and father a demon or what?" Kagome looked up from washing Rin's hair and said I am not really all that sure...I think I am gonna go and ask my mother ab-" Kagome didn't get to finish her sentence because a very tall demon, with blood red hair and black strips on his cheeks and wrists came into the clearing with the bathing women. Kagome seemed to disappear in mid air only to reappear right beside the male demon growling.
Once she had released a warning growl the male laughed and said, "I have on ill will toward you or you pack mates, I just wanted to see my daughter again after all of these years. You look beautiful Kagome. I have missed you."
Kagome was standing there dumbfounded at the sight before her, when it all finally clicked in her head she fainted right before she hit the ground the strong arms of Sesshoumaru came out of no where and caught her. "Great time to tell her Lord Koyoto. Here follow me to the camp and you two can get reacquainted." With that Sesshoumaru turned and started to walk away he stopped mid-step and said "Sango you will continue with Rin's bath bring her back to the camp when you all are finished."
He walked back to camp with Kagome cuddled up to the crook in his neck. A weird feeling went through his body and he shivered. He heard a chuckle from behind him and when he turned there Koyoto was laughing. He said "She is having a great effect on you isn't she Sesshoumaru. I wish her mother wouldn't have reacted the way she did. I know you aren't my biggest fan Sesshoumaru but don't judge your father or I for the choices we made."
They made it to camp in one piece and were sitting by the fire when Inuyasha and Miroku walked back in with some extra wood for the fire. Once they put it down they started in on questioning Sesshoumaru and the mysterious demon that was there.
"Who the hell are you?" Inuyasha asked. "Inuyasha this is Lord Sesshomaru's guest and we should be polite. May I ask you kind sir, what is your name?"
The demon, who was unknown to them, slowly stood up and looked toward Inuyasha and Miroku. He had an "I'm-stronger-than-you-so-don't-mess-with-me" look. Miroku and Inuyasha both sweat dropped and gulped. Koyoto just smiled at the way they both were acting. "My name is Koyoto the Lord of the North lands, and Kagome's father."
Inuyasha opened his mouth and closed it he wasn't sure how to respond to what the demon lord had just said at least he knew what the cause of Kagome being a demon was. Miroku was shocked, but not to shocked to try and sneak away from the men and Kagome to see the girls naked. A voice stopped him short "monk if you value you pitiful life you may want to stop and sit down NOW." Sesshoumaru smirked when the monk listened to what he had said.
Kagome stirred in Sesshoumaru's arms. "W-what happened w-who was that?" Kagome said while sitting up and stretching in Sesshoumaru's lap. Sesshoumaru turned to the other demon lord and nodded.
Koyoto came over and sat in front of Kagome and Sesshoumaru. "Kagome I know you don't remember me, but I am your father. The family you lived with on the other side of the well is a foster home I put you in so you would pass judgement on me for the choices I have made."
Kagome just stared at Koyoto like he had grown a second head. Shippo came up and jumped into her lap and hugged her. "So you are telling me that you are my real father. What 'choices' have you made exactly?"
Koyoto just rubbed his temples to make the slight head ache go away. Rin, Sango, Kikyo, Kagura, and Kanna all came back into camp and sat down with Rin running over to sit with Shippo in Kagome's lap. It was nearing night time so Kagome said "Tell me later I need to fix the children dinner."
Koyoto let out a breath that he didn't realize he was holding and agreed to what his daughter Kagome said.
Kagome got started on dinner with a very irritable half-demon griping at her about how their 'group' had now turned into a 'mob' and that she couldn't have enough ramen to feed the entire group. Kagome huffed and said entirely too sweet "Inuyasha, SIT. I have been cooking long enough that I can make other things beside ramen ok I'll just need someone to go hunting to get us some meat. Lord Sesshoumaru and Lord Koyoto would one of you two please go and get something?"
Sesshoumaru just nodded and Koyoto said "we shall go together it will increase the chances that we get the dinner." They both walked away.
Staying With Kagome and the others
"So mama who is the strange demon that is here? He looks kinda like you." Shippo asked as soon as the two demon lords had left the clearing. Kagome just breathed out and said "he says he is my father, he smells kinda like me he looks like me but it is just hard to grasp."
Kagome went ahead and started stoking up the fire to make sure it was hot and ready for the meat when Sesshoumaru and Koyoto got back.
With Sesshoumaru and Koyoto
"Are you going to tell her the truth? The whole truth." Sesshoumaru asked Koyoto. "If you wish for me to leave out the part with your mother and how both you mother and her mother died then I will, but she needs to know what she will get when I give the lands to her. It is up to you to tell her what you both did once the funeral for both of your mother's was over."
Sesshoumaru nodded and went back to his hunting in one swift motion he had a deer on the ground dead, he used his whip. "I shall tell her then I think it would be best if she knew."
Back with Kagome right before Sesshoumaru and Koyoto gets back
Once Kagome was finished she walked over to where Rin and Shippo were sitting by the tree and sat down with them. She was on edge for some reason and she wasn't sure why. Just then she felt the familiar feeling 'a jewel shard. Two of them' all of a sudden a wind twister came out of no where and landed right in front of Kagome who was pulled onto her feet by none other than Kouga.
