"No. I will never let that half-breed have you back. I will mark you as my own." Sesshomaru's voice was very calm with her but inside he was angry at her for not believing him. 'What is so hard about believing that I want her to have my child? Though, it too would be half demon like Inuyasha.'
"If I do this, will you let me go?" Kagome couldn't believe this.
"Absolutely. If you want to go, I'll have to kill you. If you stay, you can live." Sesshomaru was being very difficult. Kagome, once again, began to cry.
"Please! I just want to go home and see mom, gramps, and Souta!"
"Fine. But you must return. If you do not, I will come in and slay your whole family."
"I LOVE YOU!" Kagome hugged Sesshomaru and he just stood there. "Thank you so much Lord Sesshomaru!" It was going to be a long way back. He put Kagome on his back and took off.
"M'Lord! Where are you going?"
"Stay here Jaken. And keep a close eye on Rin."
"Yes Lord Sesshomaru."
On the way there Kagome fell asleep. Her nose was nuzzled in his neck and it tickled every time she breathed. That made him growl low in his throat. In a way though, he sort of enjoyed it. As much as her breathing bothered him, he didn't wake her.
"Miroku wake up!" Sango had spent five minutes trying to get him to wake up.
"Oh, good morning Sango." He rubbed his hand on an empty part of the bed. "Care to join me?" Sango slapped his face leaving a large red handprint.
"NO! Get up!" Sango whispered loudly but not loud enough to wake Inuyasha.
"Okay okay. No need for a riot! Where's Shippo?"
"Outside. Now hurry Miroku!"
Sango and Miroku hurried outside to find Shippo waiting patiently.
"Where ya guys been? Lets go already!" Shippo was over joyed. They started off and Sango stopped dead in her tracks.
"What is it Sango?" Miroku calmly asked.
"Nothing. Hold on." Sango ran back to the hut and cracked the door. "Kilala, here kitty!" Kilala ran out of the hut. When she got outside, Sango, Miroku, and Shippo jumped on her back.
Miroku looked at Sango and rasied one eyebrow. "Where are we headed?"
Sango looked back at him and a look of concentration croosed her face. "I'm not quite sure. I wish I knew."
Sesshomaru and Kagome finally reached the well and she jumped off his back.
"I'd better come with you just to make sure nothing gets said that isn't supposed to be out." Sesshomaru obviously didn't trust her.
The two jumped down the well and Sesshomaru helped her climb through once they got home. Kagome grabbed Sesshomaru's extended hand and stared into his golden eyes. She quickly turned away and walked into the house. When she opened the door, her mother stared at the large figure behind Kagome.
"Is this your new friend?" asked Mrs.Higurashi with a rasied eyebrow.
"It's Inuyasha's brother. His name is..." Sesshomaru cut her off.
"She will need to be with me for the next year or so."
"You can't do that. Kagome needs to be here. She has to go to school."
"Mom, I really need to go. If you don't let me, something bad will happen to all of us. I need to go say bye to Souta and grandpa. I'll be back."
Kagome's mother started to follow her when an arm was extended out in front of her.
"Wait here, mortal. I don't like secrets."
It was almost as if Sesshomaru read her mind. She backed up from his arm then noticed his purple stripes.
"Oh my..."
Kagome ran dowm the steps and kissed her mother goodbye. "I love you mom!" Tears welled in her eyes. Sesshomaru made Kagome leave first. As he walked out the door, he turned to look at Mrs.Higurashi.
"You be good to her." Her voice was shakey. "Please bring her back to us. Don't hurt her!"
"She has made a propsition to me. She will fulfill it within the year she is gone. As long as she obeys me, no harm will be done." With that, he left. Slamming the door behind him which made almost the whole house shake.
Kagome's mom could only think of what that propostion could possibly be. 'She was with a demon. Inuyasha's brother.' She thought. Then it hit her. Kagome's mom ran out of the house. "Kagome is too you young Mr.Demon man. Let her go!" But it was too late.
"Kilala! Can you smell her? "Sango asked with high hopes. Kilala growled lowly and shook her head.
"Sango, do you know where Sesshomaru's castle is?" Miroku asked.
"Of course not. If I did, I wish I knew where we were going, but it's way too dark out here!"
"Let's stop at the well. Maybe she escaped and she's there!" Shippo excitedly said.
"Good idea Shippo!" Sango made Kilala turn to head to the well. As they neared the well, they began to hear voices.
"Kilala! Get down!" Sango whispered loudly. "Everyone, hush!"
They all quietly snuck behind a nearby tree. Miroku's loud mouth yelled, "STOP!" Sesshomaru looked up and his eyes met with Sango's. He pulled Kagome up on his back. "Be quiet or I'll kill you." he whispered. Him saying that sent cold chills up her spine. Sango was about ready to take out her boomerang but it was too risky since Kagome was on his back. They waited about ten seconds giving Sesshomaru plenty of time to head off. "Kilala, follow them!" They all jumped on Kilala's back. It wasn't too long before Kaugra made her appearance.
"Tell me where Inuyasha is." She angrily yelled.
"No. Get out of the way Kaugra or I will have to hurt you."
"So you wanna play do you. My games is far too competitive for you." She opened her fan and smiled. "Dance of Blades!"
