CHAPTER 6: You Know Sesshomaru?
"KAGOME! Every trick Naraku pulled and now you're falling for this!?"
"How could this fool be worthy of you at all!?"
Kagome's ear flattened against her head as both Sora and Inuyasha continued to assault her with questions. She was starting to understand why Inuyasha could be so short tempered with Shippo when he was being noisy. "Enough already! Would you both just shut UP!" She finally snapped at the males, her hands covering her ears that were ringing.
"Shut up?" Sora's face was cold as he blinked at his daughter.
"Yes!" Kagome slipped past both males walking in the direction she thought the village was in. "You're both screaming my ears off."
Inuyasha and Sora exchanged glances and accompanied them with a growl.
Inuyasha hopped between Sora and Kagome, his gaze not leaving the tall youkai. "Kagome, how did you let this bastard trick you with this crap."
"It isn't a trick Inuyasha. I remember... I remember a lot that I didn't before." Kagome closed her eyes to focus on the thoughts that flooded her mind. "He's my father."
Sora took a step towards Kagome, earning an increased low growl from Inuyasha. "Explain how this rash arrogant low class fool is your mate." Sora's voice carried both anger and a commanding tone. "Did he force himself on you?"
"You sick bastard!" Inuyasha snarled at Sora.
"ENOUGH!" Kagome yelled, walking in between the two males. "No more insults." Kagome turned to her father. "He forced nothing on me, and I love him very much. That is why he is my mate." Kagome turned to Inuyasha, a stern look on her face. "Would you stop growling, I'm already on edge and that isn't helping."
"This isn't right, Kagome." Inuyasha said, his voice still agitated. "You're not a Hanyou."
"Do... Do you not want me to be one?" Kagome felt a sinking feeling in the pit of her gut. "What if he doesn't want me because I'm a hanyou. I've never seen Inuyasha seem to like any of the female youkai we've seen. And I only know that he liked Kikyo before me... maybe he doesn't want a mate with youkai's blood." Kagome's ears and tail twitched as her breath caught in her throat.
"Of course I don't want you to be a hanyou, moron!" Inuyasha yelled, crossing his arms.
Sora flexed his claws planning his attack. "No one rejects my daughter, and no one insults her either."
Kagome felt like she was going to be sick as her eyes began to water. "What..."
"It is bad enough when we go to a village having them treat me like some kind of monster. Why the hell would I want to have to put up with them doing that to you?" Inuyasha said, his voice an odd mix of pain and frustration.
"You're saying you don't want me anymore?" Kagome barely kept her voice even as she fought tears.
Inuyasha sighed with exasperation as he walked the few steps between them and poked her in the forehead. "No baka, I'm not saying that. You want to get away from me, you're going to have to do more than turn into a hanyou." Inuyasha glared, watching the corner of Kagome's mouth begin to turn up into a smile as he kept poking her.
Kagome swatted at the offending finger that continued to playfully jab her forehead. "Stop it." A moment later Kagome threw herself into Inuyasha's chest, burying her face in his haori and using it to wipe away the tears that she had given up holding back.
Inuyasha wrapped his arms around her, his eyes blinking wide as he flinched for a moment when Kagome's tail wrapped around behind his leg.
Sora glared at Inuyasha and his daughter. "This complicates things too much... She is betrothed to royalty and picks a low class hanyou as her mate. Also, where have I heard the name Inuyasha before?" Sora walked forward until he was within arms length of the two embracing hanyou. "Inuyasha, I wish to speak with your father."
Inuyasha met the youkai's gaze. "He's dead."
"Then your mother was the youkai, I will speak with her then." Sora responded, his voice remaining steady.
"This is Kagome's father? Bastard acts more like Sesshomaru than Kagome. All high and freaking mighty. I guess he has her temper though..." Inuyasha continued to hold Kagome as he stared at her father. "My old man was the youkai, and my mother isn't around anymore either."
"Both passed on. So you have no family?" Sora crossed his arms, a disgusted look on his face. "This hanyou is near worthless, Kagome's betrothed is an heir to the Eastern throne. He could have proven so valuable as an ally."
Inuyasha growled.
Kagome giggled as the vibration tickled her ear that was against his chest. She pulled her face from Inuyasha's chest, turning to look at her father. "Inuyasha does have a brother, whether or not he wants to admit it." Kagome poked Inuyasha in the chest, flinching as her claw put a small hole in his haori and made him winch. "Sorry."
"I doubt one brother does anything to raise your status hanyou. Youkai with little family ties and mixed blood tend to be low class." Sora's voice was even, his arms still crossed looking at the two standing together. "She at least looks happy, but happy doesn't help the South win a war."
Inuyasha didn't say anything as he just held Kagome. "Bastard can think whatever the hell he wants, I got the only thing I care about."
Kagome shook her head. "Inuyasha isn't low class, sure he is gruff, and rude, and has a short temper…" Kagome had a big grin on her face, her tail trailed up and down Inuyasha's leg enjoying the annoyed tone her less than greet description got out of the hanyou. "But, Inuyasha's half brother rules the Western Lands, so he is technically Royalty.."
"Feh." Inuyasha rolled his eyes.
"You are mistaken, child. Sesshomaru, rules the West" Sora said in a flat tone.
"Yeah, that's the bastard." Inuyasha responded.
Sora's eyes narrowed as he uncrossed his arms walking around the couple. "That arrogant pup Sesshomaru leads the West's army, His father was Toga."
Kagome blinked as she watched her father pace. "You know Sesshomaru?" Kagome paused, noticing anger on her father's face. "Is something wrong?"
Sora stopped pacing as he glared at Inuyasha. "Everything is wrong, You've taken a mate from the family that helped burn the South, put to death your older brothers, forced me from the throne, separated me from your mother, and still stand as a threat to the South even as we speak."
Kagome stared at her father who was growling. "What?"
