I do not own the characters of Inuyasha.
I have changed the name of the story from Safe and sound to There are worse games to play.
Kikyo stood outside of the shop looking kindly at Lord Sesshomaru. Kagome walked out behind him.
Sesshomaru now has the sword tied to his hip.
"Lord Sesshomaru, I wanted to apologize about your last visit. My mother can be on the brash side. Kagome or I cannot defend ourselves against her without getting punished." Kikyo said.
Sesshomaru tried not to roll his eyes. So instead he came up with a comment to let her know it was okay but in a sarcastic way. He held back his smirk.
He was not usually a fan of sarcasm.
"Yes, my visit last time was not pleasing. Though this time your sister has made up for it. Now, I have a sword I wish to test." He paused as he turned back to look into Kagome's shocked eyes.
"You will come with me to test this sword in case it may need any adjustments." He said.
Kagome almost stuttered.
"Yes milord." She said as she quickly followed after him as he was already walking towards the woods.
As she followed she didn't even pay attention to Kikyo who was fuming. She was still in shock from what he said.
She made his visit better? Did he just say that to piss off Kikyo though?
Kagome stood behind Sesshomaru in a clearing about a mile from the village.
Sesshomaru was about to draw his sword when a pack of low level demons came into the clearing at them.
Sesshomaru drew San and went to cut them down.
When Kagome saw the demons come into the clearing she noticed how they were going in the direction of the village. Why?
Kagome ran forward as three small blades of metal came from the palm of her hands. Kagome caught them between each finger on both hands she aimed them at six demons that were coming towards her.
When she threw the small blades they hit each of the six demons in the forehead killing them instantly.
Kagome then moved to face an ogre demon.
Metal came out of both hands as it formed around her fists. She moved to punch the ogre in the head. Cracking it's skull and ultimately killing it.
She moved on to fight the rest of them. They would not get to her home!
Sesshomaru swung San as an acid wave came from the blade disintegrating all demons around him. He was definitely impressed by it.
But his enjoyment came to an end to soon as the last was cut down.
Sesshomaru turned towards Kagome.
"Someone was controlling them." Sesshomaru said.
Kagome nodded. "I agree. But who would want to attack the village?" Kagome asked.
"Hn, I know not who. But I must leave. My father must know of this immediately." Sesshomaru said as he turned and formed his cloud.
When his back was to her, Kagome spoke.
"Will you be back?" Kagome asked. Her tone made it sound like she wanted him to. She nearly cursed. Was she as obvious as she sounded?
Sesshomaru turned his head to look back at her.
"We have to find out who did this. To do so, my father or I will have to come investigate." Sesshomaru said as he set to the sky on his cloud not waiting for an answer from Kagome.
Twenty minutes later.
On the way back to the village Kagome heard her mother scream.
Kagome ran with demonic speed towards the village. As she got closer and closer the scent of her fathers blood became thicker.
A seed of fear and dread was planted in Kagome's gut in that instant.
Tears formed in her eyes and soon after ran down her face.
What was happening?!
When she made it to the shop, it was on fire and her mother and Kikyo kneeled over Kain crying.
Souta stood on the side hiding his tears.
Many villagers were gathered around.
Kagome froze.
"Father." She said quietly. She blinked as she saw the blood pouring out from under him.
"Father!" Kagone yelled as she sprinted towards her dead father.
When she got there her mother looked at her.
"This is your fault! If you hadn't went off to whore around with Lord Sesshomaru your father wouldn't be dead!" Hitomi said.
Kikyo pulled her sobbing mother into a hug.
Kagome ignored her mother as she was on focused her father.
She fell to her knees on the left side of him.
"Papa." She said lightly shaking him. Praying that he would wake up. When he didn't she leaned forward and cried into his chest.
"Papa! Come back! Please!" She screamed.
She continued sobbing into his chest.
The villagers buried Kain an hour later next to their home.
Later that night.
Kagome sat in the corner of her room with her knees brought to her chest.
All family members were mourning in their own rooms.
She heard her mother coming down the hall so she mentally prepared herself.
Hitomi walked in.
She walked over with a tear stained face and kneeled in front of Kagome.
"Are you alright?" She asked Kagome.
Kagome looked up at her mother. Was she serious?
"Do I look alright?" Kagome asked sarcastically.
Hitomi have her daughter a sad look.
Kagome sighed.
"My father is gone and the shop is destroyed. Who could've done this? The murder left no trace of evidence behind." Kagome said as she looked away from her horrible mother as tears ran down her face.
"I don't know. But we need to keep an open mind. Do you think it was Lord Sesshomaru? A lot of the villagers said they seen him do it." Hitomi asked.
Kagome glared at her mother.
"He has no reason too. He knew my father. He wouldn't do something like that to him. He was with me. The villagers probably just imagined it." Kagome said.
"He could've done it when he left from seeing you. You barely know him. Don't go defending him." Hitomi said.
Kagome growled at her mother as she looked away.
"I want to be left alone." Kagome said.
Hitomi gave Kagome a bitchy look before walking out.
It didn't make sense. All of this happened while she was with Lord Sesshomaru.
There was no way he could have. He wouldn't do that to her. Right?
First the demons, Then the shop, and then lastly her father.
Maybe the demons were sent to come attack her and Lord Sesshomaru as a distraction! So he couldn't have done it.
Lord Sesshomaru would have no reason to do this!
She wouldn't believe it was him. Maybe her mother wasn't thinking clearly either.
She went to lay on her side as thoughts of her father came into her mind. She started to cry until she fell asleep.
Little did Kagome know that a demon in a white baboon pelt and mask looked into her window from a tree branch next to it. Just as quickly it disappeared into the wind.
