Red As Blood
Chapter 14
Coming back
Mikito and Hideki ran through the forest. Both laughing as the coldness hit their face and the fresh air filled their nostrils. They weren't used to the natural air and open space to run around in. Their demonic speed was faster than Inuyasha's and a little slower than Sesshoumaru's. They laughed hard until they stopped in a small clearing, both looking around.
"This place is amazing, mom didn't say it was so awesome!" Hideki yelled.
"Yeah she should have told us! It's so cool, I wonder when mom's going to get here."
"Probably later on, let's play some more."
"No I just wanna sit and relax." both nodded. They started talking about swords and ninjas until they heard a twig snap. Both turned their heads to the noise and their mouths opened.
"Who are you?" he asked them.
"We...we are Mikito and...Hideki!" Mikito said in a scared voice.
"Are you a monster, are you going to eat us?" the demon shook his head.
"I am Shippo, what are you doing here?"
"We...we...wanted to see." Hideki said.
"Were is your mother?"
"She's in our time, she doesn't know we are here, we went through the well without her." Shippo's eyes widened and he backed up a bit.
"Hey Shippo-kun what are you doing over here?" a new voice rang. Both looked at the girl who looked at them.
"Oh hello, I am Sakura." she bowed politely.
"Who are you two?" Mikito asked.
"They know Kagome." Shippo whispered in her ear.
"Hey how do you know our mom!" Hideki yelled. Shippo looked back at the boy.
"Because she's my mom too."
"What? Oh yeah, she told us about you." Hideki said aloud.
"That means you know our sister Rin, and...and father!" Mikito yelled. Shippo nodded his head.
"You wanna go see them?" both boys looked at each other.
"But..but mom said not to go with strangers." Mikito said.
"I'm not a stranger." Shippo smiled and started walking. The boys got up and walked behind him while Sakura started a conversation with them. Soon Shippo stopped at the castle doors and looked behind him. Both pups had their mouthes open in awe as they looked at the huge castle. Sakura opened the door and everyone stepped in. Shippo laughed when Mikito jumped behind him when one of the servants looked at them. Shippo walked down halls and halls, he dropped off Sakura in her servants room to get ready for her work. He walked up stairs and down another hall until he got to a door. Knocking silently he heard a 'enter' come from inside the room. Opening the door he stepped in and let the kids in.
"Sango, I found some kids." Shippo announced.
"They look familiar." Miroku said.
"Yes they are Kagome's sons." Sango's eyes widened and she got up from the bed to walk over to the pups.
"You..you're Kagome's kids?"
"Yes, mam, we are." tears were brimming as she hugged them.
"I didn't know." she whispered.
"Are you Sango?" Mikito asked. Sango nodded and pulled away.
"Stay here ok I'm going to get someone." Both nodded and looked at Miroku.
"Who are you?"
"My name is Miroku." he walked over to the pups and shook their hand. Sango ran down the halls until she slid to a stop to bang on a door.
"Enter!" Sesshoumaru yelled. She entered and closed the door.
"Why do you bang on my door?" He hissed while massaging his temples.
"There are kids!"
"What?"
"Kagome's...Kagome's kids!" Sesshoumaru gave her a questioning look.
"Shippo found these two hanyous and they claim to be Kagome's." Sesshoumaru's eyes widened and he followed her out of the room. As fast as he could he went into Sango's room. Looking around he saw two 8 year olds playing with Shippo on the bed while Miroku walked around.
"Who are you two?" he asked emotionlessly. Both boys looked at him and smiled huge.
"Are you our daddy!" Mikito asked
"Mom said you were, she told us about you!" Hideki.
"Answer me." both boys looked at each other.
"We are Mikito and Hideki!" Hideki smiled. Sesshoumaru looked at them again.
"Who are you?"
"We are Kagome's pups!" Mikito giggled.
"Were is your mother?"
"Well we left when she was taking a shower. We knew she wanted to come back because every time she told us about you, and this place, she cried. She smiled though, she was happy to talk about it. But then she wouldn't let us go, so we came anyway and we think she will come, cause if we go, she goes too!" Hideki said. Sesshoumaru then ran from the room and out of the building. Running as fast as he could, he ran to the well. The closer he got, the more he could smell her. He stopped not to far from the well and his heart broke again as he saw the broken miko. Her back was to him, only wearing a weird cloth that ended above her knees, and a big black cloth wrapped around her. He could smell her tears, he could feel her pain, and more than anything, he could feel her heart.
Kagome
When Kagome climbed from the well cold air hit her exposed legs, making her tug the huge jacket closer to herself. Looking around, all the memories hit her and she fell to her knees. Turning to the well she wanted to jump back down, but she couldn't leave them here. Tears were spilling from her eyes and she crumbled to the ground crying. Her hair was still wet and stuck to her cheeks, the tears that were spilling, stung her cheeks because of the coldness. She stayed like that until she felt a presence behind her. Not getting up or turning she wiped her eyes and pushed her hair to the side.
"Don't come near me!" she yelled. But there was no response.
"What do you want!" she yelled again when she felt the same presence come closer.
"You." the oh so familiar voice said. Her eyes snapped open and her heart fluttered but at the same time ripped again, well, what was left of it. She didn't want to turn to him, she didn't want to face him. Weakly she got up and tried to jump back in but a claw hand wrapped around her wrist and pulled her to him. She cried and started pushing away, hitting his chest with her fists, letting the tears fall more and more. Finally, after a couple of minutes she stopped and gave up, crying into his warmth.
"Why did you leave?" He asked her. She shook her head and pulled away from him.
"B...because, s...Sakuta told me...s..so..so did Inuyasha! They told me what . . . what you..did!" She yelled out with her eyes closed. She hadn't faced his eyes yet, and she wanted to keep it like that, just until he let her go. He didn't say anything about what she said.
"Why didn't you tell me?" She yelled.
"I tried! I tried so hard to tell you but we kept getting interrupted!" She shook her head and opened her eyes to look up at Sesshoumaru. Her eyes widened as she saw a tear falling from his eye.
"I love you Kagome, I always have. You shouldn't have left!" he yelled at her. She looked down, wanting to stop crying, and feeling cold.
"I..I'm sorry, I thought...I didn't know, it just hurt so much, too much..I..I could handle it." she broke down. Sesshoumaru knelt down beside her, pulling her into another embrace.
"I saw them." he stated.
"Who?" she asked quietly, trying to calm down.
"Our pups." he then smiled. He wanted to hold her forever, make her smile, laugh, anything, just to make her happy. Slowly he picked her up and started running to the castle.
"I'm sorry." Sesshoumaru stated, pulling her closer to his chest.
"I..I'm sorry too." she snuggled into his chest, wishing to Kami it wasn't a dream, but then again, wishing it was. She wanted to straiten things out, knowing what really happened but now all she wanted to do was fall asleep, her eyes were tired and she didn't have much to worry about. Closing her eyes, she let sleep take over. Sesshoumaru looked down at Kagome, his heart filling with warmth again, he held her closer and closer, until he felt warm again, even though the outside world was freezing. It seemed too good to be true, he was so glad he had her back. Speeding up more he got to the castle and inside before anyone noticed. Quietly he walked up to his room and put the miko in his bed. After tucking her in and kissing her forehead, he left to go see his pups. He walked past Rin's door and stopped. Hearing giggling he knocked once and opened the door, Rin stopped giggling and a blush crept to her face as Sesshoumaru stood at the door, anger and amusement playing in his eyes. Kohaku and Rin were together again, a little too close for his adopted daughter.
"L..lord Se...sshoumaru." Rin gulped and pushed Kohaku away.
"Aren't you a little young to do that Rin?" he stated coldly while glaring at Kohaku. Kohaku gulped and got up, walking past Sesshoumaru and down the hall. Sesshoumaru left, not saying another word to Rin. Walking silently he felt something hit his legs, looking down he saw what bumped into him.
"Mikito, Hideki." both boys looked up and smiled.
"Did you find mommy? Aunty Sango said you went for her, she said you would be back soon with mommy! Did you find her? If you did can we see mommy?" Mikito asked. Both boys reminded him of Kagome, a lot. But they talked a little more than their mother did. Smiling, he knelt down to them.
"Your mother is sleeping, do not wake her." both nodded obediently. Sesshoumaru smirked, Kagome taught them manners, that made it even more amusing. Standing he walked off to his study. When he got near the door, he noticed both the twins were following him. He opened the door and left it open for the twins. Sitting down at his desk, he pulled out scrolls to read. Mikito and Hideki sat on the ground, Indian style, both looking at Sesshoumaru. Five minutes past and the twins were still looking at him and in the same spot, not moving at all. Hideki sighed loudly, making Sesshoumaru look up.
"Go play with someone." Sesshoumaru stated.
"But everyone's gone daddy." Sesshoumaru frowned at his name.
" hentai Miroku is doing a meditating thingy, he told us to find Aunty Sango, but she was training, she told us to get Rin and when we did, she was with Kohaku, and told us to find Shippo, but he was also training, and we went to Sakura's, but she has work, and mommy's sleeping. There's only you daddy." He didn't quite know how Hideki got that out in one breath, but he just shook his head and growled. At first he thought that scared them but when he looked up again they looked happy.
"Dad-"
"Don't call me that."
"But daddy, mommy lets us call her mommy, and she said its called respect to call her that. So we asked her if we could call you th-"
"Quiet." Sesshoumaru said, very annoyed.
"But we have nothing else to do, its boring to sit and watch you read, daddy." Hideki said.
"Ooh can you tell a story?" Mikito asked. Sesshoumaru shook his head.
"Then what can we do?"
"Be quiet."
"But thats boring, mommy said its part of our childhood we should have fun, she said-"
"Fine." he put his scroll down and got up, walking to the door. After they left down endless halls he came outside by the garden, sitting down he waited until they started running around, but they didn't.
"Go play."
"No, you play with us daddy!" Hideki yelled.
"No, go play."
"Why did you leave mommy?"Mikito asked.
"I didn't leave her, she left me."
"Why did mommy leave you?"Hideki asked.
"I don't know."
"Are you really our father?"Mikito asked
"Yes."
"Are you sure, cause mommy told us she had a friend that looked like you" Hideki asked
"I am your father."
"Do you love mommy?"Mikito asked
"Why?"
"Because mommy loves you." Mikito giggled at this.
"How do you know what love is?"
" Mommy told us, and she tells us stories." Hideki stated
"Hey daddy, you didn't answer our question!" Mikito yelled
"Because you don't need to know."
"Do you love mommy?"Hideki asked again.
"Quiet."
"Is Rin really our sister?"Mikito asked.
"Not blood."
"What does that mean?"Hideki asked.
"It means I adopted her, now be quiet."
"But there's nothing else to do." Sighing Sesshoumaru got up.
"What do you want to play?" he asked tiredly. Both hanyous looked at each other and smiled happily.
"Chase!" They then took off. Sesshoumaru waited for them to run a small distance away before he ran after them.
When Kagome woke up she was in a warm bed, fluffy and familiar. Sitting up she rubbed her eyes and looked outside. She noticed the sun was setting and walked over to the window to see both her pups laughing and running from Sesshoumaru. She could see he was having a little fun. Yawning she pulled away from the window and towards the springs. After taking a refreshing bath, which she needed, she left to the dining hall to eat. Sitting down at the table were Sesshoumaru and the pups already sitting down and waiting for her. When both her kids looked up to see her, their eyes lit up and they ran to hug her. Smiling warmly she wrapped her hands around them and hugged back.
"Are you mad at us mommy?" Hideki asked.
"Yeah we're sorry for running from you mommy." Mikito said.
"No its ok, now go eat, you two are going to bed early tonight, got it?" she warned with a smile still gracing her face. Both boys nodded and tried to pout their way out of it, but Kagome simply pushed them gently back to there seats. Sitting down herself, she started eating her food. Sango, Miroku, Rin, and Kohaku came in moments later and started to eat, Shippo came in a little later. Sitting beside Kagome he hugged her.
"We missed you so much, you shouldn't have left." he whispered in her hair. She smiled and pulled him closer. Sango was already up along with Rin, both hugging Kagome. She felt like crying for them, but thought it would be a bad idea. Miroku commented to her about being back, Kohaku just smiled happily at her. She seemed a little happier and felt more at home. Smiling she turned to see Sesshoumaru looking right at her. Blushing she looked away and finished off her meal. When everyone finished, Kagome followed a servant that led them to Hideki and Mikito's room. After getting in she tucked them in, and of course, read a small story to them. Soon she looked back at the twins and saw them sound asleep, curled up beside each other. Smiling again she walked out of the room, and towards Sesshoumaru's.
A/N
I would love to thank everyone for reading my fanfic, and the awesome reviews, you all are so nice. I know there are some questions I should answer, feel free to ask me anything you want about the fic.
First off Chicano died, I don't remember in what chapter, but I said the 3 tiger brothers killed him.
Second off, I forgot to tell everyone who the sakuta and his brothers were. They are the 3 tiger brothers, Ichiro, long red hair and dark purple eyes, 2 dark purple stripes on both cheeks and one on his forehead, he is the oldest. He controls fire and leader of the 3. Hekenu has dark blue hair, past his shoulders, Light blue eyes and the same markings as Ichiro, except his are dark blue, he controls water. Hekenu is the second oldest. Sakuta has black hair, short and layered. Silver eyes and the same markings as his brothers but black, he controls shadows. He is the youngest and is in love with kagome. These 3 brothers are tiger demons, they are the new enemy, but no one has seen them sense kagome left. They are stronger than naraku ever was, and they plan on killing all mikos, and turning all demons into humans. Sakuta will always love kagome, but he knows he will always be her enemy, no mater what. To start off there plan they have to get red of kagome, but that plan failed so they decide to plot her death, that will come in the other chapters.
