Chapter 15

Everyone looked at Sesshoumaru as if he had 3 heads.

"Are you sure you would want to come with us Sesshoumaru?" Kagome asked, being the first to come out of her shock. "I mean, what about Rin? It would be far to dangerous to bring her."

"Rin would simply stay with Jaken." Sesshoumaru said.

"You'd leave her here ALONE with Jaken?" She cried, staring at him in shock "Are you crazy?" She demanded. Miroku looked at Kagome in shock.

"Ok, something happened when we weren't here. Kagome what do you have against Jaken?" He asked.

"Jaken has been permanently removed from Kagomes presence. He was thinking…unclean thoughts about her." Sesshoumaru offered.

"What! That little toad thinking about Kagome! I should kill him now!" Inuyasha yelled in rage.

"And you know that and you would still leave Rin with him by herself?" Sango asked is disgust.

"Jaken has never thought of Rin in such ways." Sesshoumaru said.

"Or at least you've never heard of him thinking of Rin in such ways." Shippou said, concerned about his possible friend.

"I could always bring her." Sesshoumaru was determined to come along with the group.

Inuyasha snorted "Yeah right, having to rescue Kagome all the time is hard enough. I can't have another girl on my shoulders! I'd feel guilty if she died but Kagome is my first priority. And anyone who knows Kagome will know that she's dumb enough to put herself in danger for some stupid little brat." He said pulling Kagome closer to him.

"You would not need to worry about Rin, she would be my responsibility." Sesshoumaru demanded.

"Well, it couldn't hurt to try could it?" Kagome suggested "He could come with us for a bit and we could see what happens."

"Is that what you want Kagome?" Sango asked.

"I'm just saying it would be easier then arguing about it all day." She said rather defensively.

"But Kagome is right. There would be no harm in letting them come with is for a little bit. But just as long as they know what they are getting themselves into." Miroku said reasonably.

"And what, per say, are we getting ourselves into monk?" Sesshoumaru asked, still talking in monotone.

"Most of the time we sleep on the floor in the forests. We don't always eat the best food. ("But we get that ninja food from Kagome's time! That's so yummy!" Shippou said, exited at the thought of the future food) And we fight demons on a day-to-day basis." Miroku answered hoping he didn't miss anything.

"I am sure that Rin and I can handle that." Sesshoumaru said coolly.

"We'll see. You can come with is for a bit, but Rin is your responsibility unless it's bathing or something like that…then it's for Kagome and Sango. And if she puts Kagome in danger once then you're gone!" Inuyasha said arrogantly, with his signature smirk on his face, then he added "And no complaining at all."

"When, might I ask, have you ever heard someone of my status, complain?" Sesshoumaru demanded.

"Never, but that doesn't mean you never have! And I don't want to have to deal with it. Kagome does it enough for everyone."

"Hey! I don't complain that much!" Kagome cried in her defense. She was ignored.

"No one of my status would complain like some-"

"Ok, that is more then enough arguing here!" Kagome shouted, successfully interrupting the family feud that was taking place right before their eyes.

"Kagome is right. This arguing is ridiculous." Sango said before Inuyasha could yell at Kagome for stopping him.

"Now, I'm tired. I'm going to be going to bed soon. Sango, lets go…GIRL TALK!" Kagome giggled at how corny she sounded, and she and Sango walked toward her room in a fit of giggles.

Sesshoumaru was unsure whether to get a room for Sango or if she would be sleeping with Kagome. Miroku notices his puzzlement and said "Sango and Kagome will most likely fall asleep talking to each other. There's no point in preparing Sango her own room." Sesshoumaru nodded and led Miroku to his room while Jaken showed Inuyasha to his.

With Sango and Kagome

"So kagome, what happened while you were here?" Sango asked looking around the large room.

"Nothing really, I taught Rin a few things. Jaken has been banned from coming near me, thank goodness. And Sesshoumaru has even been very kind."

"Kind, or kind?" Sango asked, stressing the second 'kind' and wiggling her eyebrows suggestively.

"Sango, I think you have been spending too much time with Miroku." Kagome said laughing, but Sango only shrugged.

"So what happened after I was taken?"

"Well." Sango sighed. "We spent forever searching the village and the forest. Then Inuyasha found yours and Sesshoumaru's scent. So we followed that until Inuyasha los the scent, I'm sure you know when that was." Kagome nodded her head. "Well, then Miroku met up with Koga, on accident I assure you, and he was supposed to help us in finding your scent again but he was no help. Some people admitted some things that I'm so sorry but I can't say yet and then Inuyasha found your scent very strong and here we are." Sango finished.

"Oh, I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to cause so much trouble." Kagome said, rather ashamed.

"Oh no Kagome! We don't know what we would do without you! We finally realized how much you mean to all of us because we were so worried for you!"

"Well then." Kagome said with a big smile of her face. "I'm glad that I'm so needed." Sango giggled.

"So what did Jaken do? He seems like he's in a lot of trouble." Sango asked, changing the subject.

Well." Kagome sighed "I don't really know what happened. All I know is that the first night that I was here, at dinner Jaken had this scary perverted grin on his face and he was off in some la-la land staring at me! So Sesshoumaru took him outside the room and when he came back Jaken was walking away and I was told that I didn't want to know and that Jaken would no longer be near me anymore."

"Oh my gosh! Jaken has a thing for you Kagome!" Sango said laughing extremely hard.

"Sango hush!" Kagome pleaded "You know what Inu-"

"What about Jaken having a thing for Kagome?" Inuyasha burst through the door looking for the toad.

"Inuyasha, it's nothing. I was telling Sango why Jaken can't come near me anyone." Kagome whispered, hoping not to wake the young girl in the room across the hall.

"Oh yeah, Sesshoumaru already told me about that." Inuyasha growled. He was still upset that he hadn't found the thing and been able to kill it.

"So what have you been talking about with Sesshoumaru? Anyone say anything interesting." Kagome asked slyly.

Inuyasha gulped. 'What should I tell her? Should I tell her that Sesshoumaru and I both want her as our mates? What would she say? Better not tell, I don't want to be sat anytime soon.' "Nope, nothing interesting at all."

"Awww, come on Inuyasha, someone had to say something that was interesting." Kagome begged giving him the puppy eyes.

"Well, you see, Sesshoumaru wants to have-"

"Inuyasha get over here NOW!" Sesshoumaru yelled making Kagome awe, she had never seen Sesshoumaru angry before.

"Fine fine." Inuyasha sighed "be back in a minute." He whispered to Kagome before following Sesshoumaru out the door.

"what do you think you are doing?" He demanded.

"Telling Kagome what she's going to find out anyways." Inuyasha snapped "She'd find a way to make me tell her if you were here or not. That stupid school that she goes to makes her too smart, even though she can be really stupid sometimes. She'd be able to get it out of you to, if she tried…actually, maybe even if she didn't try."

"And how would you know that?" Sesshoumaru asked.

"If you love Kagome, as you told me you do then she'd be able to get it out of you faster then you think. God, you're an idiot!" Inuyasha yelled.

Sesshoumaru opened his mouth to say something but he was cut off when he heard the front doors slam open.

"Kagome!" Koga called bolting down the hall. "I have brought you a gift!"

Inuyasha groaned and Sesshoumaru fought the erg to roll his eyes. They both moved closer to Kagome's door but unknown to them, Kagome and Sango opened the door to see what all the commotion was about.

"Kagome!" Koga yelled at the top of his lungs when he saw her.

"SHHH!" Kagome hushed. "Rin is trying to sleep, you boys are going to wake her up!"

"Kagome, what is all the noise out here?" Came a young girls voice from the other side of the hall. When everyone looked over, Rin was standing at her door rubbing the sleep out of her eyes.

"See what you've done!" Kagome scolded Inuyasha, Sesshoumaru and Koga.

"Sorry Kagome." They all said in union.

"Come on Rin, I'll tuck you in again. These guys will be quiet now." Kagome smiled at the young child.

"Yay! Will Kagome tell Rin another story?" Rin asked.

"Will I read who another story?"

"Rin! Tell Rin a story!" Rin was now jumping up and down hoping to get Kagome to tell her a story.

"Who?" Kagome asked, hoping she would get the point this time.

"Oh! Tell ME a story!" Rin cried as she finally understood why Kagome kept repeating herself.

"Of course I will if you want me to Rin." Kagome giggled.

"Oh yes! Rin…I want one with a happy ending!" Rin said through a yawn as Kagome led her into her room.

"someone's tired." Inuyasha smiled at Rin. Kagome noticed him kind smile and beamed at him.

"Ok Rin, Say goodnight to everyone." Kagome instructed kindly.

"Ok, goodnight Lord Sesshoumaru, Goodnight Inuyasha, Goodnight…" Run looked at Koga suspiciously. "whoever you are. Goodnight." With that Kagome picked her up and led her into her room where she told the story of beauty and the beast.

Meanwhile back in the hall Sesshoumaru and Koga were both glaring daggers at Inuyasha.

"What?" Inuyasha snapped.

"Trying to steal Kagome's attention are you dog breath?" Koga's glare intensified.

"And using Rin to do it." Sesshoumaru growled.

"I was being nice to the little girl? Am I not allowed to do that now?" Inuyasha became defencive.

"If we are talking about you little brother, then yes." Sesshoumaru said uncaringly.

"Yeah, you're never nice to people." Kagome spat.

"That's not true." Kagome's voice was heard. Somehow she managed to retreat from Rins room and close the door without being noticed. Lately he has been kinder. I hear he even got along with Shippou on the way here. Something that you, Koga, failed to do. Also I heard that he tried to comfort Sango. Which again Koga, I heard nothing about you trying to do that, I actually heard you made it worse. And I think that it is a rather big accomplishment that he put up with you the whole way here without me being there to make sure he didn't kill you." She said to Koga.

"That does seem amazing." Sesshoumaru mumbled.

"Yeah right, god breath…kill me? You have to be kidding me!" Koga laughed, trying to hide his bruised ego.

"Ok Koga." Kagome said sarcastically. "I'm going to bed now, so could you take your conversation somewhere else please?" She added kindly.

"As you wish Kagome." Sesshoumaru said walking away.

"Sure thing." Koga said with a confidant smile, as if he already forgot what Kagome has said to him before.

"Kagome?" Inuyasha asked when the 2 others had walked away. "Are you locking your door?"

"I wasn't planning on it, why?"

"Well," Inuyasha scratched the back of his head as though he was embarrassed. "Koga might come in there in the middle of the night and since your sleeping with Sango, Miroku might come in and think that you're her or something."

"Awww, Inuyasha you're so cute!" Kagome giggled giving him a kiss on the cheek. "I'll lock my door if it makes you feel better."

"Thanks." Inuyasha mumbled. He had been teased with the kiss on the cheek, now he wanted the real thing. He snaked his arms around her waist pulling her closer to his torso. He then slowly made his way closer to Kagome until their lips met. It was bitter sweet. Inuyasha loved the feeling of Kagome's lips on his, but he knew that soon he would have to pull away, ending their loving moments until the next day.

"Goodnight Inuyasha." Kagome whispered as she pulled away.

"G'night." He mumbled in return as he started to walk away.
