I OWN NOTHING.

There are worse games to play Chapter 17: Lord Touga.


Kagome yawned as she sat up in the room she shared with Sango, Moriko, and Rin. She had actually got some sleep last night.

She stood and went to go to the stream to splash water on her face to wake up a bit.


Sesshomaru was already outside. He needed some air away from everyone for once.

He closed his eyes as the wind blew past him.

He opened them as he sensed a familiar aura coming his way.

He saw a ball of light in the sky floating down to be in front of him.

The ball faded and his father stood before him.

"Father," Sesshomaru greeted.

"I had to check on Kinzoku situation and Rin." He said.

His father had white clothes like him. He had his hair in a high ponytail. He had armor on both shoulder and a sword on his back. He had gold eyes with slitted pupils, jagged blue stripes on both of his cheeks, and a magenta stripe on each eyelid.

"The miko in my pack has won. Her little brother is safe. As for Rin, She was the only one not injured. The half breed had minor injuries, Moriko and the monk are still unconscious. Moriko seems to have a great fear of the masked demon." Sesshomaru said.

"I see. Is there anyone you would like for me to take back with me?" He asked.

Sesshomaru nodded.

"Rin, there are two foxes, And possibly the male Kinzoku. I will have to check with the miko." He said.

About that time, Kagome stepped out of the inn about Fifty yards from where they were standing.

Touga quickly looked at his oldest sons expression. He saw his eyes slightly light up.

"It's her isn't it? The miko?" He asked looking at Sesshomaru.

Sesshomaru looked back at his father.

"Yes,"

"Maybe you can get her to come over here so we can discuss her brother. "

Sesshomaru nodded as he went to get Kagome.

He stopped when he heard his father speak again.

He looked back to face him.

"Son, Inuyasha May be able to choose his own mate, But you must be careful for the sake of the West." He said.

"You speak of things I am already aware of."

"How long have you been interested in her?" His father asked.

Sesshomaru glared.

"Leave it alone father, There is nothing to be interested in." He clarified.

"Either way she is pure both Physically and in aura. There is no hint of darkness. It is very rare nowadays." He said.

Sesshomaru turned around and tried to walk off.

"Whatever father. I am going to get the others."

"Well if you do not mind, maybe I could make a move on her." He said with a knowing smirk.

Sesshomaru instinctively growled as he turned back to face his father.

Touga put his hands up defensively.

"What is with you and that damned half breed?!"

Sesshomaru turned and walked away. He was fuming.

He walked up to the entrance that Kagome was standing next too.

"Lord Sesshonmaru, Are you alright?" She asked.

"Bring your brother out here." Was her only response.

She did what was asked of her.


Minutes later, Sesshomaru, Kagome, Souta, Rin, And the two foxes stood before Touga.

"You are Kagome, Are you not?" Touga asked her.

Kagome lightly bowed and stood straight.

"I am my lord."

"Hn, My eldest has suggested I take this group back to the West with me for their safety. He told me to ask about the future leader to the Kinzoku clan."

"Please take him with you I nee-" Kagome was interrupted.

"No! I refuse to go!" Souta yelled looking at his sister.

Kagome glared at her little brother.

"Father asked me to protect you. This is how I can insure your safety. It's not safe with Hidou and Naraku running around." Kagome said.

Souta glared back.

"Your right, Father asked you to protect me. Not send me off with him. He trusted you with your abillites to do what he couldn't! I'm not leaving your side sister. You are all I have left. We'll avenge father together!" Souta said.

Kagome had tears forming in her eyes.

Her bother was right.

She blinked them away.

"Fine." Kagome said.
