Chapter 12 - Forgive...but never forget..me?

The western lord seemed to roll his eyes as he plucked him out of the hole, "You are lucky the Miko has spared your weak existence and has not sent you to the afterlife where your dead priestess lays halfbreed. Should you ever attack this one's pack again, you will die where you stand." With that, he dropped him before walking over to jaken.

"Jaken, remove the halfbreed.",he commanded as he picked up the buck from the now flattened imp, taking it over to the Miko and his ward with ease.

"Y-yes milord.", Jaken screeched out as he hurried over to the groaning half demon.

With the little strength the imp contained in his body he was able to drag halfbreed, leaving a large trail of ripped up clothing and blood as he dragged him through several small bushes making sure a few sticks stabbed into the mutt's side since he was the very reason why he couldn't be by his master's side and aid with the buck he had hunted down earlier.

A few groans come from the male that was currently being dragged each time a stick hit its mark which caused the imp to grinned wickedly each time.

"This should be a good place for the mutt.", Grinned the imp as he left Inuyasha a slumped mess against a small tree that had yet to touch the sky with its small branches.

"Oh, Milord will be so pleased with me for doing such a wonderful job and getting rid of this halfbreed. I'm sure he'll be rid of the human of his soon too!",He hollered to no one in particular before getting a good look around. "as soon as I find my way back of course..."


Back at the small campsite where Kagome sat with the young ward rin in her lap, she appeared to be lost in her thoughts about the very male jaken was told to get rid of from their campsite. Why didn't tears spilled from her eyes when he called her a bitch.

Or when he accused her of taking out Kikyo.. why didn't she cry. She truly did not know.

And it scared her.

Her heart did not race like it had done so in the past whenever he was near. Instead, it raced in fear when he had taken hold of Rin but she didn't fear for herself. She feared for Rin. Even when it was her he wanted to go after.

Looking over at her hand she tried to picture the marks her claws would have left had she not been a full demoness and healed faster than ever before since it was such a small wound.

Unlike her dear Rin who was human, she would always be able to heal faster and end up coming out of each event even stronger than before. Every battle would be a lesson and that scared her. Sure, she could hold her own now but what did that mean on its own.

"Miko." A soft voice called out breaking her out of her thoughts.

"Hmmm?", She perked her ears up listening to the cold lord but she did not look his way since his claws were slicing through his kill. Accepting the fact that she would not turn to meet his molten eyes he went on.

"Miko. What trouble you.", He stated as if demanding to know her response instead of asking a simple question. He was afterall the Lord of the western lands. If he wanted something, he would go after it or demand for it.

The Miko in question sighed, "It's nothing Lord Sesshomaru. Just...change is ...different that's all." Hoping he wouldn't press on, she hugged his ward Rin closer which the little girl didn't mind since she was able to keep lapping away at her sweet treat the Miko had given her after she had healed up her wounds from the battle before.

"Change is not something to be feared, Miko.",His response made her look dead at him which allowed him to seem her eyes brimmed with a few tears.

"I don't even know what kind of demon I am Sesshomaru... I Don't have the others with me or even shippo... Kaede is busy too with the village and...", She stopped knowing there was no way she could address that jerk when she was talking to his very own brother.

The cold lord stopped gutting the buck only to flick the blood away from his claws with an emotionless glim in his eyes. "You are a dog demon.", He explained as he placed the now-gutted back a tad closer to the fire that was roaring through the chilling night. His ward Rin taking the hint as she wiggled out of Kagome's arms before grabbing the gutted buck and dragging it away to skin it and cut it up into smaller pieces.

"A full demoness.", His beast purred taking over for just a second which cause the female before him to blush a bit and flatten her ears against her head. "I know that... but the jewel is gone now...back where it belongs I guess but...why me.. and why now of all times..."

"That this Sesshomaru knows not.."


Raven: Boom...

Kagome: Seriously...I hate cliffhangers!

Rin: Ravensama Please add more!

Raven: I will soon. I promise.
