I do not own the characters of Inuyasha.
There are worse games to play.
Kagome faced her mother and sister.
"You Bitch!" Hitomi yelled at Kagome.
Kagome looked blankly at her mother.
"What is it now?" Kagome asked.
Hitomi walked up to Kagome and back-handed her.
Kagome's face turned to the side as a slight bruise formed on her right eye.
"You have embarrassed us in front of Lord Sesshomaru! Soon we will be family to them! You make me not even want to show my face to the village!" Hitomi said bitterly to her daughter.
Kagome looked back at her mother.
"You think you can get with Sesshomaru Just because I'm with Inuyasha? Sesshomaru wanted to bed me but I chose Inuyasha. Then he came to you. Your always second choice when it comes to you and I. I'm a miko. Your a dirty blacksmith demon. You deserve the life you have. No one will ever want you." Kikyo said.
Kagome glared at her sister.
"Remember, I didn't lust over Lord Sesshomaru while bound to another like you both did. When I find a mate, I will be loyal to him. Now, if you don't care to leave me be. I have a sword to make." Kagome said as she turned away from her mother and sister towards her forge.
Hitomi and Kikyo walked out with a huff from Kikyo and a quiet side comment that sounded like 'Bitch' from her mother.
A week later.
Kagome wrapped the handle of the sword in leather for Lord Sesshomaru as her father walked in.
Kagome glanced at her father and silently went back to work.
"Kagome.." Her father said in a concerned tone.
"What is it?" She asked not looking up from her work.
Kain put his hands behind his head as he leaned against the table beside where Kagome was working on the handle.
"I planned to take the weapons and tools to Edo later but, I suddenly don't feel like it." Kagome looked up at her father as he paused with a wink in case anyone was listening.
Kagome nodded.
"So when Lord Sesshomaru leaves I will have you go." Kain said knowing full well Kagome needed a break from the drama her sister and mother causes her.
She had not been as talkative this last week.
"Alright." Kagome said.
When Kagome finished with the handle she moved to check the sword for any last minute details.
"Father, Why do you stay?" Kagome asked not looking up from the sword.
Kain smiled at his daughter.
"I couldn't leave you and Souta with them." He said referring to Hitomi and Kikyo.
"All these years, and you suffered through for us. Souta and I could still live here for much longer. We are demons after all." Kagome said.
"But remember, your mother is only human. I do love my family. But sometimes Hitomi and Kikyo are plain evil. Everyone would think Hitomi is the demon out of us. They call themselves mikos, yet they do not like the sight of blood when healing someone." Kain said.
Kagome nodded in agreement.
"So what is your opinion on Lord Sesshomaru?" Kain asked.
Kagome lightly smiled.
"I don't think he's as cruel as the rumors. He seems like a fair ruler and I can't wait to see how he treats the people once his father passes down the throne to him." Kagome said as she held up the sword inspecting it.
She handed Lord Sesshomaru's sword to Kain.
"What do you think?" She asked.
Kain smiled as he held the sword in front of him.
"I think this is your best work. It rivals mine." Kain said.
Kagome lightly smiled.
"He is a Lord and so far a good one. He and his father deserve our best work." Kagome said.
Kain nodded in agreement. "You seem to adore him."
"Even if I did. It wouldn't matter. I'm a metal demon who's a blacksmith while hiding her miko powers." Kagome said.
Kain nodded.
"The day will come when you might have to fight your sister. She's just that way. I know you use to be close as children, but she has obviously changed. You both have my power along with your mother. It seems that Souta isn't interested in Hitomi's power. But he knows the basics. Should anything ever happen to me I want you to teach him all Kaede and I taught you. Understand?" Kain said.
Kagone glared at her dad as she took the sword back.
"Don't talk like that." She said.
One hour later
Kagome sat outside of the shop meditating. She wore blue Hakama pants and a white wrap long sleeve shirt. Her hair is in a low ponytail.
She felt someone nudge her foot.
She looked up and was faced with amber eyes.
She quickly stood and bowed.
"Hello Lord Sesshomaru, sorry I did not sense you coming. When I meditate I kinda get into it." She said with an embarrassed smile.
Sesshomaru nodded when she fully stood.
"Try to keep your guard up as you do so. When I left I assumed it would be what's best for you. Especially with the company you keep." He said.
Was he implying that he cares?
Kagome lightly smiled "Yes milord. Thank you for the tip. Come this way. I will show you your sword. I hope you approve." Kagome said as she turned and walked towards the shop.
Sesshomaru followed her in.
When he saw his new sword he was definitely impressed.
"What will it be known as?" He asked.
Kagome smiled as she picked the sword up and handed it to Lord Sesshomaru. He pulled it from his sheathe to inspect it.
"I have a feeling it will take to your acid use. So I'm thinking San." She said.
Sesshomaru nodded. "It suits the sword well." He said.
"I would like to test it outside of the village if you would like to join me." Sesshomaru suggested.
Kagome nodded with a smile. "Yes milord."
Both demons walked outside of the shop.
Kikyo was outside waiting.
